Re: No new Nyingma head!
I mean, I guess they realized it is like signing up to be the drummer in Spinal Tap.

Re: story details
Thanks. I just reread the entirety of the Padmakara translation and I didn't see it. Possibly I missed it, I was reading quickly.

story details
Can someone please refresh my memory - what is the story of the teacher who demanded that his students renounce their former teachers but then would only teach the student who refused to do so. Thanks in advance!

Re: Leslie Hays says Akong R kidnapped and tortured SMR
I can tell you that the plan to seize control of Nova Scotia by force if necessary was still paid lip service to at Vajrayana seminary as late as the early aughts. Not sure if anyone ever spilled those beans before Leslie.

Re: Leslie Hays says Akong R kidnapped and tortured SMR
In any case, we are seeing more and more people emboldened to come forward with unwelcome information despite the best efforts of many to silence them, so hopefully there will be greater opportunity for examination. Information suppression isn’t what it used to be, as we are seeing. The point is, t...

Re: Leslie Hays says Akong R kidnapped and tortured SMR
Leslie Hays says Akong R kidnapped and tortured SMR, Leslie Hays says CTR tortured a cat.

Re: Leslie Hays says Akong R kidnapped and tortured SMR
She was one of his several wives in the 80s and a member of his inner circle. I don't know her personally but that much is not disputed by anyone.

Re: extibetanbuddhist dot com
No, figured it was better to just present the primary source and let you make of it what you will. I can't recall now but I don't think Chandler has anything other than this.

Re: extibetanbuddhist dot com
I should have chosen my words more carefully, "so much" is inaccurate. She charges Matthis Namgyel with covering for Sogyal Rinpoche, I think in part based on this and on other occasions: https://vimeo.com/53576867 And also refers to here: https://buddhism-controversy-blog.com/2012/06/15/w...

I did not find even the depth of study like another antagonist writing webpage If you want a deeper study, her critique has now been turned into a full-length book with the title Enthralled: The Guru Cult of Tibetan Buddhism .
