My scholarly work has pioneered the use of phenomenological qualitative research methods to empirically discern contemplative and spiritual care characteristics of millennia-old Tibetan and Nepali Buddhist Vajray\u0101na meditations expressed in the form of religious rituals and group liturgical practices. This work has helped dispel popular prejudices suggesting such religious practices are merely superstitions or a naive form of worship by demonstrating the linguistic and cognitive roles of contemplative symbols in learning Middle Way philosophy and compassionate affect cultivation through the use of traditional meditation techniques.<\/p>\n

Two of my current research projects are related to UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Nepal: one related to Namche Gompa (Temple) in Sagarm\u0101th\u0101 Mt. Everest National Park, which is several days\u2019 walk from the nearest road, and situated at ~3400m altitude, and the other at the Swayambhunath temple of Kathmandu Valley.<\/p>\n

Both projects include transcription, transliteration, and translation of primary Buddhist texts. In the case of the Namche Gompa Dumje Festival project, I am working to preserve 100-year old hand-written scrolls of traditional Buddhist ceremonies of the Sherpa community\u2019 s summer festival.<\/p>\n

Most of my publications are listed below … due to certain moral and ethical concerns, I do not use online academic social media sites using servers connected to govt intelligence agency funding.\u00a0 Kindly visit my page on the Estonian Research Information System<\/a> for a complete listing.<\/p>\n
