Uncovering scandals in Buddhist communities is important for maintaining the safety and integrity of spiritual institutions. But do we use this information to cultivate a mature spirituality, or are we doomed to sink into disillusionment and depression? tricy.cl/2Q17aUb

According to a monk who left the New Kadampa Tradition, advanced NKT disciples are told that Kelsang Gyatso is a buddha who watches over them and guides their lives. tricy.cl/2AEvgh1

The New Kadampa Tradition appears to offer everything a modern Buddhist could want. But once practitioners are drawn inside, the isolation from other Buddhist groups can feel increasingly restrictive and controlling. tricy.cl/2AEvgh1

There certainly aren't 'millions' of Shugden practitioners... There are only 6 million Tibetans for starters. Someone calculated a better number but I can't remember the result. The last paragraph also makes it seem that Shugden is quite established as a practice. It's marginal.

Just a few notes about the article. There aren't 1,200 NKT centres. The NKT rents a room once a week and has less than ten attendees and calls it an 'NKT centre' even names these rooms sometimes as a 'cause' for an actual centre to start.

An invisible, powerful and completely unmeasurable influence that cannot be verified in any way. Except by the declared 'bliss' of his followers. Beside all this HH the Dalai Lama seems quite ordinary and unpretentious. Human. That’s the real magic. facebook.com/groups/talkabo…

Dharma is not like this. The New #Kadampa Tradition complain that HH the Dalai Lama is treated like God. In fact it is reversed; Kelsang Gyatso - the absent writer and 'founder'- is the one with the magical powers of speaking 'through the hearts' of his followers.

FURTHER FROM THE PATH THAN EVER. Astonished at how utterly crazy the NKT has now become. Witness this video. How it will be for people in the future to imagine what it was like to receive teachings 'from Geshe-la's heart' says Dekyong! It will be exactly the same as now. 1/many
