Our book, "The Shadow of the Dalai Lama: Sexuality, Magic,

Patmos Verlag, has led to intense and emotional debates but also to
informative and fruitful discussions among the public. We want to continue
this (in English). A number of documents from the discussion in German are
already available to the English-speaking reader.
The
English homepage is set up as follows:
