| bio | Mihajlo Pažanin - Born in 1968 in Rijeka. He first encountered Buddhist teachings within the framework of the Mushindokai organization of Croatia in 1985, of which he became an active member.
After completing his studies at the Faculty of Political Science in Zagreb in 1995, he went to Asia and visited Taiwan, Okinawa and India, researching the roots of Buddhist tantric teachings focused on the Buddha Mahavairochana. During his visit to India, he met Tibetan teachers who introduced him to the tradition of Sarvavid Vairochana, one of the original lineages of Indian tantric Buddhism that has been preserved to this day within the Sakya tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Upon his return to Croatia in 1996, he participated in organizing the arrival of the first Tibetan lama to Croatia, Ayang Rinpoche. In the same year, together with Dragutin Šmalcelja, he founded Bodhiratna, the first Society in this region to begin studying the theory and practice of Tibetan Buddhism in an organized manner. After visiting Nepal in 2001, with the support and patronage of Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche, he founded the Buddhist society "Shechen", which he leads to this day. To date, Mihajlo has translated about 20 books dedicated to the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism, is the author of the book Hidden Messages of Tibetan Buddhism, and is a frequent guest lecturer at the Faculty of Philosophy in Rijeka and in many other associations and societies that want to learn more about the theory and practice of Tibetan Buddhism.
