If their great revelation was that the earth faces a man-made environmental apocalypse then they need to do a little better, that level of insight is available to anyone who can read a newspaper
As to whether one should spend time and effort figuring out the legitimacy of a practitioner of ersatz pan-African spirituality as an oracle for a Dharma-affiliated spirit...that falls solidly into the “life’s too short” category

Either they know this is nonsense and are supporting it or, following your point, they don't know enough about TB to know it is nonsense. The third option is that the Kuten was a bit casual about such things , and the Lama deluded or willing to exploit the new age spiritual marketplace this way. Which version do you favour?
Either way, I'm not sure being gentle is going to eradicate the exploitation of saviour-seeking new agers.
It certainly wouldnt be the first time a "supposedly experienced lama" didnt know enough about the dharma to recognize something as nonsense.Mantrik wrote: ↑Mon Apr 16, 2018 7:58 pmWhat on earth are the Nechung Kuten and a supposedly experienced Lama both doing then?Malcolm wrote: ↑Mon Apr 16, 2018 4:27 pm
