| Since meeting Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa in Nashville, Indiana in 1974, I have had the good fortune to study with teaachers across all schools of Tibetan Buddhism as well as with teachers from Shaiva traditions. A scientist by training I have never focused on sectarian differences or disputes but have tried to identify and focus on the key principles underlying each tradition.

| I began my study of the Tibetan language at Indiana University in 1979 and had the good fortune to read dozens of folio with the Dalai Lama's elder brother Tagster Rinpoche as well as with Prof. Helmut Hoffman. My Tibetan studies continued with Geshe Lozang Jamspal and Jared Rhoton. My language studies intensified when I moved to Berkeley and over the last decade I have read hundreds of folio of Sakya writings with Lama Kunga here. Most recently I have plunged into the Bon scripture of the Zhang Zhung Oral Transmission with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.
