The attendant removed the photo from its wooden frame, and found another photo beneath, so Rinpoche asked who was in that photo and was told it was the son of the late lama, who was also a heavy drinker.

The lama linked above just had some affairs with some students, his negative impact on Dharma is much less than Shambhala's.

I see no reason to believe that. For starters, that story is from something called "The Life Story of the Lord of Refuge" which was published in 2000. My understanding is that it was only in the 2000s that the Sakyong started to drink heavily. May I suggest that you not ascribe opinions to Chatral Rinpoche that you don't know him to have held?

It occurs to me that “An Olive Branch” would most likely not have a license to practice law in Canada. Or France, where they have been mentioned in regards to the Rigpa situation also.Apparently the law firm is Wickwire Holm...

Here are the princpals https://www.an-olive-branch.org/meet-us/. None indicate they have law degrees, nor function as lawyers.

All I can say is that they were presented to me as having some lawyers as their principals when they were involved with the Lama Norlha situation. But since I’m on the bottom of the totem pole I had very little direct contact with them. Management were the ones that dealt with them directly.

The Sakyong is not only another executive or religious leader dethroned by #MeToo, but he is the sole holder of the most sacred teachings in a custody chain that goes back centuries, the only one who can transmit them, according to the traditions of his lineage.

Shambhala. If you want to get a feeling for what it's about I suggest, once again, Hayward's "Warrior-King of Shambhala".

A little obtuse, but I think he means the Shambhala terma, which if we follow the whole myth, goes back to Gesar and all the Rigdens of Shambhala, further leading back to when Buddha Shakyamuni revealed the Kalachakra tantra to King Suchandra.Josef wrote: ↑Wed Jul 11, 2018 10:46 pmThat's probably not an accurate statement regarding the teachings.Aryjna wrote: ↑Wed Jul 11, 2018 10:26 pmI'm curious what teachings the are referring to.chimechodra wrote: ↑Wed Jul 11, 2018 10:21 pm New York Times just put out an article about the whole affair: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/11/nyre ... nduct.htmlThe Sakyong is not only another executive or religious leader dethroned by #MeToo, but he is the sole holder of the most sacred teachings in a custody chain that goes back centuries, the only one who can transmit them, according to the traditions of his lineage.
