It has been wonderful to have a teacher with Elio's breadth of knowledge and experience visit our community. Born in Italy, Elio received a Master of Arts before traveling to
India to study Buddhism. On his return from India he moved to
Switzerland where for ten years he learned Tibetan language and Buddhist
philosophy under one of the Dalai Lama's philosophical advisers.
Invited by the late Kagyu teacher, Kalu Rinpoche, Elio spent almost twenty years in India working on the Encyclopedia on Indo Tibetan Knowledge known as Shes bya kun khyab (Myriad Worlds, Buddhist Ethics, Systems of Buddhist Tantra, The Elements of Tantric Practice) authored by Kongtrul the Great, which is being published in separate volumes by Snow Lion Publications. During this time Elio developed a keen interest in Tibetan medicine and its relationship with the Dzogchen teachings.
