These accusations, essentially of aiding and abetting a crime, are a for

Agree with you Kath. The ability to rationalize the most appalling of behaviour, be it complicity, collusion or guilt, never fails to surprise.

Oh! and a big thank you to, those who know who they are, for prostrating at the feet of the Master of Dur Con, instead of challening him and exposing, publicly, the reported abuses of clients. No doubt the facts will emerge as Hansard's behaviour is finally brought to task.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Moderator.. I hear what you say, and your summary of my central concern is accurate and welcomed. I have emphasised the issue simply because what lies at the very centre of Christopher Hansard's activities, and his apparent odious behaviour, is the Dur Con invention. From this has sprung all the issues wich are discussed here. I hope therefore you may understand that my responses have been l

Simple fact, neither you, Hansard, or any other followers of his Dur Con invention were studying or practicing authentic Bon teachings. My observations were directed at his cynical deception and the bizarre nature comments which sought to explain, defend, justify and understand him. Meanwhile one again a curious silence about the very real and worrying experiences of Cornwell, whose questions

Many will find the recent postings a very interesting insight into the minds of Hansard's apprentices/colleagues, and explains why, perhaps, Hansard found it so easy to manipulate such individuals. In light of the 'daemonic' delusions that seem to have prevailed, the fact these people were entrusted to care for clients is rather troubling, One would have thought any reasonable,

Moderator. I note your comments. Perhaps such a process does indeed take place within cultist environments, however I do find it rather incredible that so many colleagues/apprentices, over such a period of time, where seemingly blind, deaf and dumb to the abuse which reportedly occured. Not one single voice of dissent?, Nor any equiring mind? A complete absence of critical awareness? And this fro

Fact. According a number of contributors on this forum Christopher Hansard abused clients for a period of years. Fact. He operated the so-called Eden Medical Centre, at which it would seem a considerable amount of abuse occurred Fact. A number of individuals were ‘apprentices’ or colleagues of Hansard and were ‘studying’ and practising, his Dur Con invention at that centre Fact. Despite

Cranial..thanks for your comments...Miss Pulver was actively involved in promoting Dur Con events, and given that she was managing, the not inconsiderable money such events generated, one imagines she was fairly close to Hansard. One would reasonably consider therefore she was indeed well placed to provide useful information about Hansard.

Dear Moderator Re: Your Enquiry I think a clarification, by those who vacillate between condemning the reported abuses, yet defend Hansard’s methods and ‘teachings’, would help provide a much needed singularity of focus. Moreover, if former associates and colleagues of Hansard were not aware of any maltreatment, nor witness to any violations, surely they would not object to adding their nam

I agree totally about submitting complaints to the same police officer, a very important and effective action. However a unified voice would have a tremendous impact, plus it could enable a more coordinated and effective strategy. By organising a campaign the whole effort could be taken onto a new level, for those who may have been abused by Christopher Hansard, surely it's time to come toge

All contributors will recognize the crucial importance of former associates/clients recounting their personal recollections and exeriences, in assembling a body of testimony documenting reported abuses. However, with respect to the Dur Con invention itself, I would suggest that the inconsistencies, factual errors, plagiarism, lack of credible witnesses and demonstrable deceptions in Christopher H

I would ask contributors to give more careful thought about using the term 'Bon' in their description of events linked to Christopher Hansard. Bon is the authentic native religion of Tibet. What Hansard was peddling was a cynical invention, which he termed Dur-Bon. The truth is, more correctly, it should be called Dur Con! Please do not unwittingly associate Tibet's genuine trad

Well ‘real name/chris/james/gone’ your faith in the Master of Dur Con being able to furnish facts to support his story is touching but also desperately misplaced.

Indeed Rinpoche correctly refers to Nine ways (not twelve) he also correctly identifies these as being treasures (terma) and teachings, please note, not a lineage or distinct school as claimed by Dur-Con.
