I am a Vajrayana practitioner/researcher. I maintain a resource for scholars interested in the Vajrayana tradition and am actively researching the use of medicinal substances within the Indo-Tibetan tantric tradition (ausadhi & rasayana)
My interests include:
The history of the tantric "mahasiddha movement" between the 8th and 14th century
The history of the Yogini-Tantras
rtsa-rlung 'phrul-'khor (Sk. "Nadi-Vayu-Yantra" physical yogas)
gtum-mo rnal 'byor (Sk. "Candali-Yoga" inner heat yoga)
rmi lam gyi gdams pa (Sk. "Svapana Yoga" dream yoga)
I am also interested in Newar religous culture.
