Motivation
They based this untruth upon a libellous post made by a supporter of another individual, who falsely claimed to have received Tibetan Bon teachings and set himself up as a ‘Physician’ of Tibetan Bon medicine. That person’s claims were completely exposed as bogus.Since he too could not present any factual or independent material, which would verify his bizarre claims, his supporters, like those of self-styled ‘Padma Gonpo’, resorted to a transparent calumny.
According to this fiction (written anonymously on a public forum) I was, prior to my involvement with Tibet, writing and researching on the issue of ‘UFO’s’. I have invited the original author of this blatant falsehood to present any essay, article or other written information bearing my signature, name and date which involves this subject. Curiously, rather like the supporters of so-called ‘Padma Gonpo’ he/she has been singularly unable to offer any evidence whatsoever to support their fabrication.
For those who are curious as to why I have invested time and effort into examining and exposing the claims made by ‘Padma Gonpo’. Simple, I care about Tibet and its people. Moreover, I happen to believe that Bon, the native religion of Tibet, is worthy of my concern, and that it’s fundamentally wrong for anyone to abuse, exploit, distort, or misrepresent what is a highly profound and ancient tradition. I like to consider that my motivation for such action, is based upon principles of respect and understanding, values which have informed my wider work, in support of Tibet, since 1988. Since then I have actively campaigned against human rights abuses, and written widely on the issue of Tibet, challenging a range of injustices, which are forced upon the Tibetan people.
