A Matter of Lineage

Gratitude is the substance of freedom

Leonardo Anfolsi has been, from his youth, an intensive practitioner of Meditation and Energy Enhancing techniques.  He has received the blessing and the teaching of these treasures from his own beloved Teachers.  Some of them are renowned, others are Hermits, others prefer to remain unknown.
The Lineage of Changchub Dorje comes to him through Chogyall Namkhai Norbu, a renowned and a very appreciated Teacher of Dzogchen that Leo met in the eighties.
The Lineage of Hakuin Ekaku comes from Yamada Mumon Roshi and Engaku Taino, two unordinary Teachers of the Rinzai School of Zen Buddhism, when Leonardo become a monk in 1981. 
The Bon Lineage, linked to the eastern alchemical tradition, comes from Tenzin Namdak R.and Tenzin Wanjall R., the late being one of his dearest friends, capable of very accurate explanations.
The Tantric Buddhist Lineage comes from several Teachers: Ch. Namkhai Norbu R. who taught him perfectly the attitude towards these teachings. Kalu R., Nyoshul Khen R., then Tenga R. and Shakya Trizin R. from whom Leo received the Kalachakra Initiation and the XIV Dalai Lama from which he received the six Yogas of Naropa and the Rigpey Tselwang, teachings that Leo received and practices devoutly.
The XXII Gomo Tulku Sonam Rinchen has been very kind with Leo recognizing him as a Tulku, a reincarnation, that of a Hermit Chodpa of the past. Gomo Tulku Rimpoche, a Lama Renowned for his power to renown the past lives of other people, asked Leo to continue to practice Chod until he will feel the right time to teach it.  
Baba Balnath Maharaji was the holder of the Siddha Lineage that accepted Leo as a student: His lineage comes from Goraknath Siddha, the founder of both of the Siddha lineages, Hindu and Buddhist.
The Italian Lineage comes from the Osiridean-Mizraimitic-Rosicrucian Tradition, something deeply linked to Italian history and that spread a certain number of Incognitus among us: Secret Teachers that help and teach you at the right moment: some of them being experts of Alchemy.

These are some of the notable names of this lineage that have allowed recognition...
Alberto del Conte - Freemason and Partisan, acupuncturist and homeopathic physician - taught Leo, in the laboratory, the first techniques of kiln and distillation.

Salvatore Creta, one of his first Meditation Students, taught Leo the Vegetal Alchemy. 

Another witness of the past century that protected the growth of Leonardo Anfolsi has been Gustavo Adolfo Rol, an impressive man of knowledge, a blend of power and compassion that cured, instructed, warned, and helped a lot of people all over the world - being in different places at the same time.

Corallo Reginelli, of the Group of Ur, has been a very close friend and an example of openess and kindness. His most typical (aloud!) statement was:

"You are not what you think.

What you think it's not you.

You're what you can't suppose...

You're the mystery of all the Universe.

When your selfish-mind collapses

bursting in the space of unborn silence

Leaving you alone with the All"
