Alex Yiannopoulos

Alexander Yiannopoulos, PhD, had the good fortune to take refuge with Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche under the Bodhi Tree in 2005, and has been engaged in the study and practice of Buddhadharma ever since. To date, his academic research has focused on the epistemological works of Ratnākaraśānti and Dharmakīrti, with a particular emphasis on the topic of “reflexive awareness” (rang rig) or “luminosity” (‘od gsal). Currently, he is working on the mathematical formalization of Buddhist metaphysics as a unified quantum field theory.
