“A big thanks to Dialogue Ireland,3 and its moderator, Mike Garde, one of the few anti-cult experts who “got” what I was saying about Tibetan Buddhism: that it was Lamaism not Buddhism; a Tantric cult whose institutional exploitation, including sexual exploitation of its students, is justified by the Tantric teachings, themselves, and not the result of a few rogue lamas, here and there; the so-called “exception rule.”
A special thanks to Lily Chao, and her Taiwanese True Enlightenment
Foundation 4 whom I was introduced to through Mike Garde. Through her
foundation’s exhaustive and scholarly work, studying the original teachings
of Tsongkhapa of the Dalai Lama’s Gelugpa lineage, and understanding that
these teachings were not Mahayana Buddhism but a sexually abusive distortion
of the historical Buddha’s principles, her group has been fearlessly trying
to warn the Taiwanese people about the sexual “couples-bliss practices”
of these Tibetan lamas in Taiwan, a place where the lamas have been actively
building monasteries and centers, attracting many Taiwanese students over
the last decades.”3 “Mission Statement,” Dialogue Ireland Website, Last Accessed June 10th, 2016, https://dialogueireland.wordpress.com/about/
4 “True Enlightenment Foundation” is a Taiwanese Buddhist organization concerned about
the corruption of Buddhism by the Tibetan Lamas’ Tantric Lamaism, See: http://foundation.enlighten.org.tw/trueheart_en/14
It is great to see that Chris Chandler’s book, “Enthralled,” on The Guru Cult of Tibetan Buddhism has been published. She kindly acknowledges the role Mike Garde of Dialogue Ireland and Lily Chao of the Taiwanese, True Enlightenment Foundation in writing the book.
This book needs to be read widely……….
