I find it also very interesting–all three Bernards had an impact it seems–and his dad was very interesting sounding–as he seems to have spent a lot of time in India researching and training.

I find that amazing that you were an assistant to his first wife. What a treat to have read his Tibetan diary. Until Veenhof wrote this book, I was unfamiliar with Theos Bernard. I really was intrigued by his father and would have loved to hear more of his explorations with the Indian adepts he met and trained with during his travels. There seems to be a wealth of archival materials. Also people like you can also provide some pretty interesting perspectives.

The Veenhof book claims much about TCB's Buddhism, but, in fact, it was tantric yoga that was most important to him. I read Veenhof's book with great interest. He did a very good research job and added detail unknown to me. I have been very familiar with TCB since I worked part time as an assistant to his first wife, Viola Wertheim Bernard and was the first person in 50 years to read TCB's Tibet diary -- a document of great important because of the picture it paints of a culture that has not been disappeared [using hte word as a verb as was used about Argentinian youth who were disappeared]. I believe Veenhof has done a great service by publishing his book. I'm unhappy that it seems not to be publicized much. Love's book about Pierre Bernard, The Great OOM, is also very important although by no means as well done as Veenhof's. Little is said about TCB's practices of tantric yoga after his return from Tibet because, like his father and uncle, he felt it was a secret practice and what he wrote for publication after his return to the US is not at all reliable. Secrecy was important to all the Bernard men, as, I believe it is to many [maybe most] sincere tantrics. While TCB wanted to make texts of Tibetan Buddhism available to American scholars he never managed to accomplish much in that direction because, I believe, his own practice was more important to him. I believe TCB was a more vibrant and charismatic and complex person that is revealed in Veenhof's [probably necessasrily] rather dryly factual book.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('302','June Calender'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('302','June Calender','Good book review, concentrating, as is appropriate, on his yoga practices.
