About me

Martin Watson; born and educated in UK, I settled near Dharamsala in the 70's where I started my Buddhist studies. During the past 34 years I've studied under various teachers in the Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions, receiving full ordination in Rangoon, Burma, (1980) and Kalachakra and Vajra Master initiations in 1989 (Los Angeles) and 2000 (Spiti).
