One of the many relays in the network which is carrying out the "transfer" of Buddhism from the East to the West. Besides my work as a teacher of French in secondary school, for the past nineteen years I have been at the service of the Tibetan Institutes in Belgium. In my capacity of chief administrator I have, together with my life partner and under the spiritual direction of Tibetan Lamas, deliberately chosen to set up an infrastructure (on the administrative, financial and relational levels) which should guarantee in all its effectiveness an oral transmission assured by authentic Buddhist masters.
