In various blogs Mr Bowe hides behind a number of noms de plume. A brief examination of those names may be useful in attempting to explore Mr Bowe's character.
On one of his blogs, which has now disappeared, he used the name The Zhiji. This refers to an account of the life of Tönpa Shenrab who was the founder of the Bön Religion. The translation of Zhiji is Glorious.
In another of his blogs 'A Critical Enquiry of 'Padma Gonpo Rinpoche' he uses the name Buadhach. This is an Irish name that can be translated as Victory or Triumph.
In a Forum he would now appear to be using the name Vaidya. That is a Sanskrit word and can be translated as "Versed in science; learned; a doctor" or "one who knows"
Clearly Mr Bowe has an extraordinarily high opinion of himself. That may well explain why in the A Critical Enquiry of 'Padma Gonpo Rinpoche' he writes:-
"For those who are curious as to why I have invested time and effort into examining and exposing the claims made by 'Padma Gonpo'. Simple, I care about Tibet and its people. Moreover, I happen to believe that Bon, the native religion of Tibet, is worthy of my concern, and that it's fundamentally wrong for anyone to abuse, exploit, distort, or misrepresent what is a highly profound and ancient tradition. I like to consider that my motivation for such action, is based upon principles of respect and understanding, values which have informed my wider work, in support of Tibet, since 1988. Since then I have actively campaigned against human rights abuses, and written widely on the issue of Tibet, challenging a range of injustices, which are forced upon the Tibetan people."
It is good to know that an 18,000 year old religion is "worthy" of Mr Bowe's concern. Unfortunately it would appear that most Tibetans in the UK would prefer it if Mr Bowe focused his unique talents elsewhere and left them alone. The only record of Mr Bowe "challenging a range of injustices" was his being listed as an expert witness at an Immigration Tribunal Appeal and not bothering to appear at the actual hearing. A rather odd manner in which to challenge that particular injustice.
Need we say more?

Once again I find myself forced to place a posting concerning the activities of Mr Geoffrey Bowe, Mr Bowe as you will be aware is known by numerous pseudonyms one of which is Jeff-the-troll-of-a-coast-town.
Mr Bowe systematically has been editing his various blog sites and preventing those who disagree with him, especially those active within the Tibetan community, from posting more considered and more accurate summaries of the situations at hand. Such is the fundamentally dishonest nature of Mr Bowe that even when he has been proven emphatically wrong he will not take down inflammatory material or scandalous posting.
Given that Mr Bowe has removed all of his e-mail address is, changed his telephone number and isolated himself from the world those of us who are involved actively with helping the Tibetan people find ourselves at a loss, how do you deal with a man who lies, is proven to lie, yet will not admit it, face it or remove those lies from public scrutiny? The answer in the end is simple we keep posting more and more information on the Internet until Bowe sees fit to go back to his original pursuit of chasing flying saucers.

It is well known that Bowes original interest is based in his personal belief that… ‘It is speculated that hidden in an exceptionally barren area of Tibet is a portal through which UFO’s enter the earths crust. It is know that the Nazis sent expeditions to many areas of Tibet before WWII. At the end of the war when Nazi interests came to light, they were vehemently deigned by all of the governments who gained valuable technology from the fall of Hitler. Yet there are many inconsistencies and troubling questions concerning the Nazi and Allied account of the development of these technologies. I have made some progress, despite my efforts there is only so much that can achieved from public record access, especially when it is against the vested interests of those who benefit from such technologies’.

I am a student of Padma Gonpo Rinpoche. I would like to thank whomever it was who started this blog. I am grateful for the courage you've shown in standing up to this nutjob. Bowe has slandered the name of our Bonku. He has cyberstalked our Sangha and harassed its women. He has plagiarized and misquoted us, removed all comments we made to defend ourselves from his blog. In addition he has slandered me personally in his blog for my devotion to Bon Nag and my Bonku. He has no knowledge of Bon, he has never had any kind of teacher and his "research" is fabricated. Blessings to you for your wisdom.
