Interest in Tibetan Dzogchen and the Dalai Lama's Mindfulness Movement are on the rise among many demographics in the West. The Dalai Lama has been promoted as a 'man of peace' and compassion throughout the world, and his Tantric Lamaism a form of 'secular' Buddhism that integrates easily with other religions; more a 'philosophy of mind' 'scientific in nature.'

But, are these accolades, promoted by mainstream media, and academia, really true?Chandler spent nearly three decades in the center of the Tibetan Lamas' inner circles by taking care of the son of the notorious...

Sonichu #0 is the first issue of Christian Weston Chandler's magnum opus. At this initial stage, the comic was almost entirely about Sonichu and Rosechu, although bits of Chris's life still managed to find their way in.The "hand-drawn premiere issue" is a special zero issue.

Given that it previews nothing, which one Chris was going for is probably the former, though given that it's not legally able to be sold, it fails even that.The comic consists of Sonichu's first three adventures. In "Sonichu's Orig...
