I think those who have had the courage and determination to detail, what appear the appalling experiences as a result of Mr.Hansard, have already expressed a determination and desire for justice. That of course is their right and I fully respect and support the objective to seek redress, for what seem to have been criminal actions by Mr.Hansard. However, the question is in what way can that be be

Truth and justice need not be mutually exclusive, and with careful application and consideration can do much to challenge what seem gross violations of trust and responsibility, let alone the cynical exploitation of the genuine Tibetan Bon tradition. If, and I see no reason as to why not, we accept the reports that have featured on this forum, Hansard would appear to have committed a criminal ac

Kath..sure it would not be easy, however I think Dorje was speculating about Hansard, should he choose to commit legal suicide and take matters to court. My view is that, should that occur, it may prove more forceful to assemble a case based upon the reported abues which Hansard has seemingly perpetrated. Meanwhile, perhaps a collective, agreed statement, from such former clients, could be arrang

Interesting comments from Dorje. I should make it clear that my postings here, and in my direct communications, (and elsewhere) are a forceful enquiry, and speculation, into the claims made by Mr. Hansard with respect to his so-called ‘tradition‘. I have indeed openly challenged his assertions and questioned their authenticity, moreover on several occasions I presented a critical examination of

In light of the contiuing efforts by some to justify and defend Christopher Hansard’s ‘dur-bon’ fantasy I thought it may prove of benefit to present a brief historical overview.

As to the quotes on 'Bon' these are broadly correct, however Mr.Hansard prefers matters to be confused, and obtuse. It benefits him to deflect criticism and enquiry to such rarified areas, that said his fact-free claims are riddled with inconsistences, distortions, ignorance and fabrication. Since according to Hansard/Realnamegone his 'tradition' pre-dates, a convenient cover

Hansard, and his websites, did not simply state he was 'trained in 'therapy', thus Chris's (sorry, 'real-name gone') vacuous claim Quoteto be qualified in a therapy you do not need to either read or write or speak the language of the place of origin is rather misleading and conveniently misses the point.

Mr Hansard’s shameless thievery and misrepresentation of Tibetan culture has extended itself to describing the term ‘Bonfire’ as originating as: “The word 'bon-fire' used in the west originates from the fires Bon cultures were renowned for“. (Hansard’s so-called Bon-medicine website) As any Etymologist will testify, the origins of this word derives from Europe, NOT Bon-Tibetan

Be aware that Hansard operates under a number of various guises, one wonders if real-name gone is one of them? Wisedup I am totally behind you in your comments. The reported abuse, and trauma generated by Hansard, demands exposure, and the condemnation of any who value ethical and caring medical practice.

Dear 'GCHGO' It must be extremely difficult to accept, however like other 'clients' you have been taken for a very exotic ride by the Master of Dur-Con. May I suggest that, as a form of 'healing', you save your sympathies for those who, it seems, have been abused and traumatized by Mr. Hansard, or for the beleagured culture of Tibet which he shamelessly exploited

Increasing numbers of people have contacted me about Mr.Hansard wanting to know what action could be taken to increase awareness about the claims and activities of this individual.

All beings are capable of demonstrations of kindness, but that is not really the issue, even those who inflict systematic torture upon prisoners of conscience have been reported to show compassion.

In the case of Mr. Hansard the 'truth', referred to by the last contributor, is simple. The claims made by Hansard regarding his 'lineage', 'tradition', and 'healing' are a fabrication that cynically exploited the name of Tibet and the Bon tradition.

As I have detailed previously, Hansard has no credentials whatsoever with respect to his Tibetan medical claims and so-called 'dur-bon tradition'. This is the same individual who wrote to me claiming the Dalai Lama recognized and acknowledged his skills, turned out the 'quote' Hansard provided me was not the words of the Tibetan leader but the printed comments of one Doctor Eg

There is no excuse or justification for Mr. Hansard's self-serving, cynical exploitation and misrepresentation of the Tibetan Bon tradition. As has been noted previously he is not a qualified Doctor, nor an authentic practitioner of Tibetan medicine (he has not completed a recognized course of medicine at the Tibetan Institute of Medicine in India).
