Volker Helmut Manfred Zotz (born October 28, 1956) is an eminent Austrian philosopher, religious studies scholar, Buddhologist and a prolific author.〔"Volker Zotz," in ''Kürschners Deutscher Gelehrten-Kalender'', Berlin and New York: Walter de Gruyter 2011, 23rd edition (ISBN 978-3-598-23630-3)〕 == Early life == The Zotz family originated in Tyrol and spread to Germany. Volker Zotz was born in Landau in der Pfalz, Germany, where he attended elementary school and high school. His interest in spirituality led him to an early study of Christianity as well as of Indian and Chinese religions. What impressed him most was Buddhist philosophy and meditation. When Zotz was sixteen he became a major disciple of Lama Anagarika Govinda, with whom he was close until his death in 1985.〔(Major disciples of Lama Anagarika Govinda )〕 During his high school days, Zotz also met the author Oscar Kiss Maerth, whose ideas he did not completely agree with, but with whom he had an intense exchange of ideas.〔Donna Kossy: ''Strange creations: aberrant ideas of human origins.'' Feral House 2001, ISBN 9780922915651〕 After graduating from Max Slevogt High School in Landau in the 1970s, he published his first poems in two volumes〔''Transformation.'' Scheden: Verlagsedition Dittmer 1978 (ISBN 3-88297-031-6) und ''Geraunt.'' Scheden und Hannoversch Münden 1979 (ISBN 3-88297-039-1)〕 and a novel.〔''Das Projekt Adytum.'' Scheden und Hannoversch Münden 1979 (ISBN 3-88297-041-3)〕 As a conscientious objector Zotz had to perform eighteen months of alternative civilian service in a nursing home. From 1978 he studied Buddhism under Ernst Steinkellner and philosophy under Kurt Rudolf Fischer at the University of Vienna. He repeatedly interrupted his studies in Vienna to conduct research and fieldwork in India, Nepal and Afghanistan and to receive spiritual training from Lama Anagarika Govinda.
