Christopher Woodman is an essayist and poet who contributed a book review on Frithjof Schuon’s In the Tracks of Buddhism to the Summer, 1968 edition of Studies in Comparative Religion. Woodman had been introduced to the writings of Schuon through a friend, Marco Pallis. At the time that he wrote the piece, he was a Research Fellow at Christ’s College, Cambridge in Renaissance Studies, where he was initially supervised by C.S. Lewis and then by G.G. Hough. Mr. Woodman was then also Chairman of the Cambridge Buddhist Society, and with Marco Pallis’s encouragement he helped the young Lama, Chogyam Trungpa Rimpoche, to become the first president of the Society. Mr. Woodman subsequently became Trungpa Rimpoche’s personal secretary, and went on to work with him and Akong Rimpoche at the Samye Ling Tibetan Center in Eskfdalemuir, Scotland. Today Christopher Woodman lives in Chiang Mai, in northern Thailand, where he assists his Thai wife, a Traditional Medicine Doctor, at the Baan Hom Samunphrai School where she teaches Thai Traditional Medicine and Herbal Pharmacology.
