| Comments: | Hi Ron, Are you still practicing gtum mo? I will try to find materials on pha dam pa sangs rgyas's practice of zhi byed for you. I assume you've already exhausted what can be found using google and amazon. I tried the link to Alejandro's dissertation on the "Bon studies" page and it appears to work OK. |

I practice Shije and a lot of old materials have gotten scattered. By the way, I did Trul Khor with Alejandro. I couldn't access his dissertation...is it still on your site? WONDERFUL RESOURCE WEBSITE!!!!! Thank You. |

| Comments: | Lee Spegial seems Taskes such an extremist...literal interpretation of every quote he uses you would think he was completely unaware of the use of Twilight langueage and symbolism in esoteric text.At his level of study surely this isn't the cause which causes even further confusion in my mind as to the exoteric explanation he proposes.Would never rely on him as a source of interpretation...intellectually or spiritually.. |

| Comments: | Thank you for your effort in making this information available. It is a wonderful resource. My only feedback is that I noticed the PDF files had no security settings - meaning that the files can be modified by others. I would recommend password encrypting them so they can be freely printed but not otherwise altered. |

| Comments: | Amazing resource! I'm interested in and doing research on entheogens in origins of Tantra, especially around Oddiyana. I was a "hippie" in the 60's in SF. Went overland to India in 71-74. At the UW Madison from 75-81 with that generation of Buddhist scholars and practicing since on west coast, Nyingma...did all the retreats I upstate NY with Penor R. Lamas deny any use of entheogens, but my psychedlic roots find that hard to grok. I can't quite believe no psychedelics were used. Those Dakini Feasts in Oddiyana sound a bit suspect; the so-called Indo-Aryan "mother goddess" tradition seems related to the Greek Dionysian rites looks like it merged on the Silk Road...to me. I'll be looking at some of these articles, but let me know if you have any specific suggestions where to look for what was going on in the homeland of Garab Dorje and Padmasambhava.

I am a Zen Buddhist teacher and scholar, so, I am already working on some material you posted. Also, a request: could you post material about mantras and dharanis in the Buddhist traditions? there are several interesting articles (Gonda, Grundwedel, etc.) hard to find. And if is possible, to post material about Sino-japanese Tantra, Tachikawa-ryu and related topics? Thank you so much again and I pray for a long and free life to your wonderful site. |

| Comments: | Aren't some of the materials listed in the archive of a secret nature? As in one would need a HYT empowerment. It would be highly beneficial if you had member logins. The members would have to give proof of empowerment. It can be hazardous to the mental health of practicioners if they read Tantras without empowerment. |
