P. M. Doolan has left a new comment on your post "Wagner and the Tantric Orchestra":More Buddhism from Jonathan Harvey in Wagner Dream. Then there is the connection between Wagner and the Cathars...
I only came across your blog entry today, but I had posted an article "Wagner and Buddhism, Tristan and Isolde" on my blog two days ago - what a coincidence. It might interest you to know that Wagner first played some chords of Tristan on piano in the Villa Wesendonck in Zurich (where I live) and the Villa Wesendonck today is the home to the biggest collection of Tibetan Buddhist art in all of Europe.
Header image has nothing to do with the Villa Wesendonck. I photographed the Richard Cole print against the background of the book Tibet - Life, Myth, Art by Michael Willis before tweaking the colours. Photo is (c) On An Overgrown Path 2010.

Just in case anyone has interested, I have followed up my previous post on Wagner with a guide to Wagner sights in Zurich here: http://www.pauldoolan.com/2010/03/stroll-in-richard-wagners-zurich.html
In case you are interested, I have edited and expanded my post on Wagner and Buddhism into a longish (4,000 words) article called Wagner in Zurich: http://www.pauldoolan.com/2011/03/wagner-in-zurich.html
