Rigpa Cult Practice Testimonies

 DI would like to direct readers to two very insightful testimonies, which have recently been posted on another site:

http://thedorjeshugdengroup.wordpress.com/2013/01/16/thoughts-on-leaving-rigpa/

Indeed, the news is trickling out of Rigpa that all is not well, something like the way news trickles out of Tibet. A couple of brave, courageous individuals step forward to speak out about what they have observed while being insiders at Rigpa. The glimpses we receive show us a reality that any decent Rigpa student must deny in order to continue within the ranks. It seems to be a closed reality now, a world of deceit and repression unto itself, something like communist China.

Dear Sogyal Rinpoche….

In the early 2013 I received this booklet Behind the Thangkas. See note above and no one gave us their name?

Dear Administration,
I just talked to a delightful German lady who did remember my call which preceded my email on June 16.

She remembered passing on my phone message, but too date I have received no acknowledgement or reply.

I intend to publish this email tomorrow Thursday if I have not heard back from you.
