Looks really interesting. Looking forward to reading...I took a quick look at the dissertation and was looking to see how you used the word "ascetic". I was curious how you use it in the context of this "third" way of being Buddhist.

In which context exactly? But yes, tantric practice despite accommodating bhoga and moksha, is nonetheless predicated on imho on a sort of ironic, ascetic disengagement from samsaric experience

Congratulations - really fascinating read and a goldmine for the footnotes of the article I m currently writing on Queering Buddhist Studies for Oxford Encyclopaedia Religion Online :)

Thank you! One point of feedback: I’ve received many messages from would-be readers/downloaders on smartphones & tablets saying they having a really hard time seeing & downloading the thesis. I’ve sent them this link of instructions:

Amused that it's 6.66mb. Also out of curiosity I started listening to it at work with my text to speech program...not surprisingly it didn't work well trying to pronounce the Tibetan.
