Mariah, In describing the efforts of those who would expose further the odious activities of Mr.Hansard, as pursuing a form of 'blood lust', you grossly misrepresent the reasonable and objective efforts of those who would expose further his odious activities. Meanwhile, are you now able to furnish any material which supports your previous assertion that Hansard's 'condition�

Dear 'Mariah', Thank you for your comments. As to the current condition of Mr.Hansard do you have any firm evidence to support your assertion that his self-serving empire of fantasy now lies smouldering around him? If so I would be most interested to hear more from you. Compassion (unless you believe in the passive 'Christian' variety) does not in itself excuse, tolerat

Hi..Mary I was sort of aware of your 'connection' with Namkhai Norbu and was therefore not entirely surprised to note your comments. I agree that Mr.Hansard may well have 'borrowed' from Norbu's understanding of the Bonpo traditions and practices, it may be no accident that Norbu's book has featured on a number of Hansard's sites as a form of endorsement.

I agree and would urge contemplation upon the deeper meaning of 'scholarly reconstruction'. Yes Namkhai Norbu is a celebrated Tibetan Lama of the Nyingma tradition, of all Tibet's schools of Buddhism, it shares some (stress) concepts and practices with Tibet's Native religion, Bon.

Yes indeed, 'understanding' and 'compassion', often talked about but practised very little, particularly by Mr.H who is seemingly unconcerned at his deliberate and cynical exploitation of Tibetan culture for what are self-centered and materialistic objectives. As to seeking to generate sympathy for Mr.H perhaps it would be more appropriate to extend concern to the oppressed an

I agree Mr.H would, in all likelyhood, find it difficult to resist casting an egotistical eye over this forum. Moreover, it is indeed probable that he has offered various anonymous contributions in defence of his activities, he however uses a particular syntax that reveals itself to close scrutiny. That said, while it may be of academic and philosophical interest to debate obscure and rarified i

I have been researching this man's fantastic claims for some two years and have challenged him over a number of issues and misrepresentations surrounding his supposed Tibetan medical training and background. There are indeed serious questions which surround his lucrative activities. For more information please visit It would help if this blog was given the widest possible circul
