Introduction

Shambhala

Shambhala was a Buddhist prophecy that had emerged in the Early Middle Ages. When Muslims had advanced into Afghanistan and Northern India, they dislodged the Buddhists from these areas, and they had to find a haven somewhere. So, they came up with a spiritual resistance prophecy that was identified with a land, a utopian land, a kind of Buddhist paradise, where the members of this faith would be free to live and worship without been harassed by the “barbarians” whom Sanskrit sources called “Mecca people” or, in other words, the people of Mecca. The legend claimed that somewhere in the North there was a mysterious country, a land of plenty where people lived 900 years, where they were rich and had houses where roofs were clad in gold, and where nobody suffered, and of course, where the Buddhist religion existed in its pure form and so forth.

Inside their cult groups, these Tibetan Lamaists still call their latest whistle-blowers, the few western dharma brats (second generation, Tibetan Buddhists) who woke up to be ‘” spreading poison”; “heretics”; and ”Samaya breakers”; who are headed to Rudra Hell. They must be shunned and attacked, so no one will hear what they are saying, and then ruthlessly gossiped about in their ‘compassionate’ sanghas; called out by the Lamas and their inner circles, by name, as “apostates who will ruin the other members’ own ‘enlightenment.’” Not worthy to be in the Enlightened Circle and doomed to Vajra Hell.

In original Buddhism, there was no concept of Paradise. This concept emerged as a result of encounters with the Muslim world. The prophecy also claimed that when the true faith (read Buddhism) would be in danger, the king of Shambhala named Rudra Chakrin would come in the year 2424 with a gigantic army and crush the enemies of the faith. So, it is a concept of a holy war, pure and simple. Many people are not aware that such a concept existed in Tibetan Buddhism. Shambhala was also understood as an internal war against one’s inner demons. It was an aspiration for spiritual perfection. Over time, the former, the holy war part, became obscured as the latter one became more relevant.

Agvan Lobsan Dorzhiev

Agvan Lobsan Dorzhiev, also Agvan Dorjiev or Dorjieff and Agvaandorj was a Russian-born monk of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, sometimes referred by his scholarly title as Tsenyi Khempo. To the Tibetans, he was popularly known as the Sokpo Tsеnshab Ngawang Lobsang.

In 1896, the Tsar, Nikolai II, gave Agvan Dorzhiev a monogrammed watch for the services he had rendered to Badmayev's Russian agents in Lhasa. In early 1898 Dorzhiev went to Saint Petersburg “to collect subscriptions for his monastic college” and became friendly with Prince Esper Ukhtomsky, Gentleman of the Bedchamber to the Tsar and orientalist. Dorzhiev was presented to the Tsar. Dorzhiev then went on to Paris and possibly London before returning to Lhasa.

Dorjiev tried to convince the Thirteenth Dalai Lama that his best source of protection would be Russia, so he told the former Dalai Lama — I mean the present one is the Fourteenth, this was the Thirteenth — he told him that actually, Russia was Shambhala and that Czar Nicholas II was the reincarnation of Tsongkhapa, who was the great Tibetan Buddhist master, and that the Romanov dynasty were the descendants of the rulers of Shambhala. And although the Thirteenth Dalai Lama had great hopes that Russia would protect them, the Czar never actually agreed. Nevertheless, as a result of all of Dorjiev’s efforts, there was a temple built in St. Petersburg.

By 1903, both Lord Curzon, the Viceroy of India, and Francis Younghusband became wrongly convinced that Russia and Tibet had signed secret treaties threatening the security of British interests in India, and they suspected that Dorzhiev was working for the Russian government. Compounded by the closed nature of Tibet at the time, the fear of Russia drawing Tibet into the Great Game to control the routes across Asia was a reason for the British invasion of Tibet during 1903-4. The Dalai Lama had fled to safety, first to Mongolia and then to China. The Younghusband Mission did inflict "considerable material damage on Tibet and its people", it was damage that paled into insignificance when compared "to the invasion of Tibet by the Chinese People's Liberation Army in 1951 and the Cultural Revolution of 1966–1967".

Since the days of Catherine the Great (1729–1796), the Romanov rulers had been considered by Russian lamaists as the incarnation of White Tara, a female bodhisattva typically associated with Buddhist tantric practice and considered an emanation of Chenresig (the bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas), and the protectress of the Tibetan people. 1913 saw the great celebrations for the 300th anniversary of the House of Romanov. Dorzhiev made speeches thanking the Tsar for his essential support for the Buddhist community in Saint Petersburg.

A lama named Ulyanov published a book that same year attempting to prove that the Romanovs were directly descended from Sucandra, a legendary king of Shambhala. Dorzhiev managed to co-exist with the Communists during the 1920s but was again arrested by the NKVD during Joseph Stalin's Great Purge on November 13, 1937, and charged with treason, preparation for an armed uprising, and spying for the Mongolians and Japanese. He died in police custody, though apparently of cardiac arrest, after being transferred from his cell to the prison hospital on January 29, 1938, aged 85.

Alexander Barchenko

Alexander Barchenko was an occult writer from St. Petersburg and his Bolshevik secret police patron and the chief Bolshevik cryptographer Gleb Bokii who was one of the spearheads of the Communist Revolution in 1917. Bokii had decided, at some point, to use Tibetan Buddhism and its spiritual techniques to change the minds of the people, in other words, to help engineer the new communist human being. During the 1920s and the 1930s, was a period of troubles and dramatic changes for the Tibetan-Mongol world. The Manchu Empire in China collapsed in 1911 following by the fall of the Russian Empire in 1917.

The entire political landscape of Eurasia became filled with ethnic, religious, and class conflicts. That was when Shambhala and various sister prophecies resurfaced in Inner Asia as apocalyptic legends that helped local populations to deal with reality. Communist International (Comintern) was an organisation created in 1919 to promote the world-wide revolution, established a Mongol-Tibetan Section to draw the local nomads, peasants, and junior lama monks to Communism. In Mongolia, Bolshevik fellow-travellers explained to the populace that Communism was a fulfilment of legendary Shambhala.

Barchenko and some other Bolshevik intellectuals were upset that the Russian Revolution did not change human nature. One of the chapters of the book carries a peculiar title, “The Engineer of the Human Soul”. Another two major characters are a Russian American painter, Nicholas Roerich and his wife Helena. They were also interested in Shambhala. They wanted to go to Tibet and retrieve Tibetan wisdom. This ambitious couple nourished a megalomaniac idea to build in the heart of Asia a Tibetan Buddhist utopia (they called it the Sacred Union of the East) that would throw light to the rest of the humankind. At one point, in 1926, they tried to flirt with Communism because Helena and Nicholas Roerich believed that since the Shambhala legend said salvation would come from the North, they wanted to use Red Russia in their grand scheme. Roerich went to Tibet, posing as reincarnated Dalai Lama and pretended to dislodge the existing 13th Dalai Lama. Red Russia refused to wholeheartedly support such a reckless project, and the couple were said to have become then on disillusioned with the Bolsheviks. When they parted with the Bolsheviks, the Roeriches began courting American sponsors. Among them, we find a rich currency speculator Louis Horch and future FDR’s vice president Henry Wallace, who later sponsored the Roerich’s second expedition to Asia.

Nicholas Roerich, the Russian painter and occultist, who toyed with the same idea of merging Tibetan Buddhism with Communism. Driven by his otherworldly Master, he posed as a reincarnation of the Dalai Lama and flirted with the Bolsheviks in an attempt to unleash the Shambhala war in Tibet.

In July 1919, Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin issued an appeal to the Kalmyk people, calling for them to revolt and to aid the Red Army. Lenin promised to provide the Kalmyks, among other things, a sufficient quantity of land for their use. The promise came to fruition on November 4, 1920, when a resolution was passed by the All-Russian Central Executive Committee proclaiming the formation of the Kalmyk Autonomous Oblast. Fifteen years later, on October 22, 1935, the Oblast was elevated to republic status, Kalmyk Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.

Dalai Lama XIV

The Dalai Lama XIV disclosed in an interview to the BBC that he had such good relations with Chairman Mao Zedong that he regarded him as “a father”. Recalling his close relationship with Mao in a BBC interview, the Tibetan religious leader recounted how, at formal dinners, the Chinese leader would make him sit by his side and personally serve him in the best Chinese tradition.

He [Chairman Mao] appears to me as a father, and he himself considered me as a son. [We had] very good relations. The only problem was that on many occasions, when official dinners were held, Chairman Mao always used to bring me to his side. So, then as Chinese tradition, Chairman Mao himself would use his chopsticks to put some food in my plate. So, in a way it was a great honour, but in a way I feel little fear...he coughing too much, a chain smoker, so I might get some germs [laughing].

In the interview, the Dalai Lama acknowledged with a laugh when asked by the interviewer, Andrew Marr, whether as a young man he was “attracted by some aspects of Communism”. He then approvingly cited Marxist economic theory which, he believed, offered a solution to the current economic crisis in the West.

When I was in China, I learnt Marxist economy theory, which has an emphasis on equal distribution, rather than just profit. Since we human beings created this [economic] problem, we also have ability to overcome it. In spite of our difficulties, we should not give up our hope…we must keep our self confidence, that is very important.

In September 1954, the Dalai Lama XIV together with the 10th Panchen Lama went to the Chinese capital to meet Mao Zedong and attend the first session of the National People's Congress as a delegate, primarily discussing China's constitution. On 27 September 1954, the Dalai Lama was selected as a Vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, a post he officially held until 1964. When Mao Zedong finally died in 1976, during a Kalachakra ritual, the 14th Dalai Lama staged a rite connected to the Kalachakra Tantra.

The Dalai Lama XIV held an offical government position during Mao Zedongs disasterous Great Leap Forward and only disembarked when confronted in the midst of his own demised during the China's Cultural Revolution. Could the Dalai Lama XIV be charged and put on trial for mass genocide? …Guanyin soil?

Alyce Zeoli - Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Alyce Zeoli, an Italian-Jewish woman originally from Brooklyn who went from leading a New Age prayer group in her basement to becoming Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo, the highest-ranking woman in Tibetan Buddhism. Alyce Zeoli as an ordinary spiritual cult leader and psychic claimed to channel a prophet named Jeremiah and received alien voices belonging to “Andor, Head of the Intergalactic Council,” a demon named “Santu,” and even transconfigurating a strange, high-pitched “Miss Buddha” during séances located in her suburban basement every Thursday night.

At various times, according to the books and articles on her, Zeoli claimed to clearly remember earlier incarnations in which she ruled an entire galaxy and also ruled an ancient civilization on earth.

Jetsunma was recognised by Penor Rinpoche, second only to the Dalai Lama as Tibetan Buddhism’s supreme authority, as a reincarnation of a 17th-century saint, and he identified her as an emanation of Mandarava, the “peerless princess,” consort of Padmasambhava, the legendary founder of Buddhism in Tibet.

[Jetsunma] is a rather complicated, if not thoroughly secular, person, given to certain personal and temperamental indulgences (megalomania, lying, verbal abuse, to name a few). She is also physically violent; in one instance, she hits a disciple in the face. She also accepts a $100,000 yearly salary while her students go into debt to pay her. In the end, Sherrill has written a spiritual horror story.”.

Kunzang Odsal Palyul Changchub Choling is the largest Tibetan Buddhist Center in the United States, located in Poolesville, Md. Founded in 1986 by Alyce Zeoli, the community under her leadership attempted to blend classical Tibetan ideas with an almost “anything goes” attitude toward life and spirituality.

There are unsettling rumors arising from Poolesville. From many sources connected with the Temple -- several insistent on anonymity for fear of reprisal -- come reports of beatings administered to monks and nuns by Jetsunma, of shady, even illegal financial dealings, of psychic abuse and manipulation eerily reminiscent of the early days of Jonestown. When it became known that Tenzin Chophak, a recently enthroned tulku and a translator for Penor Rinpoche, was talking openly to me about KPC, his electronic mailbox filled with anonymous hate messages and death threats, among them: “You better watch your back.” “Testicular cancer will befall you, and in a hurry, I hope.” “You will burn in Vajra hell for many kalpas for what you are doing”… I, too, was warned, by a former Temple member. 'She will fuck you royally,” he said. “She has these people who think she's God. They might come to burn your house down, put a bomb in your car. Or they'll put a hex on you, and you'll have bad dreams for ten years.

The first time Rinpoche arrives at Poolesville, he is horrified to learn that bug zappers have been placed all over the rural property. For Buddhists, one of the five main ethical precepts is not to kill, and this includes all sentient life. Jetsunma tells Rinpoche that she has placed Tibetan prayer flags over the zappers; however, he is outraged, and during the night someone cuts the electric cords. Furthermore, Jetsunma also has the community show films of animals being slaughtered to foster compassionate attitudes toward life, yet is quoted as saying, “Red meat. I just can’t get enough.

Alyce Zeoli claimant, H. H. Penor Rinpoche, later caused much head-shaking disbelief by also recognising actor Steven Seagal as a Tulku but had later confided to a journalist that he would not be recognising any more American tulkus — since Americans tend to have “a problem with pride.” shortly before he died, Penor Rinpoche wrote a roughly worded letter to Jetsunma demanding that she stop referring to herself as a realised person and stop teaching Buddhadharma in his name.)

Samye Ling Centre

Samye Ling was cofounded in 1967 by Dr. Akong Tulku Rinpoche and Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Samye Ling was the first Tibetan Buddhist Centre to be established in the West and was named after Samye, the very first monastery to be established in Tibet. They were soon joined by artist Sherapalden Beru and the monk Samten. By 1970, Trungpa Rinpoche had departed for the USA and the 16th Karmapa firmly encouraged Akong Rinpoche to take a leadership role in developing Samye Ling.

Akong Rinpoche accused Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche of betraying his ‘Tibetan-ness’ after he was discovered at Samye Ling drinking and having sex on the grounds; acts that Trungpa was instructed to keep "private and hidden" by Akong. Trungpa's heavy drinking, womanising, and the physical assault of a student and his girlfriend, caused controversy during his lifetime and afterward.

The centre recieved two visits by the 16th Karmapa; On the second visit he was accompanied by Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche and a party of a dozen tulkus, lamas and monks. Together they performed the Vajra Crown ceremony and gave empowerments and teachings. The 16th Karmapa assured Akong Rinpoche about the longer-term future of Buddhism in the West and at Samye Ling. The Karmapa's visit also saw the establishment of our first international branches, in Belgium, Spain and Ireland.

What seemed to be his playful joke in 1977 - as he ruffled Akong Rinpoche's frizzy hair and called him 'Africa Lama' - turned out also to be full of foresight as Rinpoche several years later became the Karma Kagyu representative for Africa as Kagyu dharma developed there.

On 8 October 2013, it was reported that Akong Tulku Rinpoche had been killed in “a dispute over money” in Chengdu, China, along with two other monks, including Rinpoche's nephew, and his driver. The police said that three Tibetan men had been arrested and admitted carrying out the killings. The Samye-Ling website subsequently said that the killers had intended to rob Akong Rinpoche of funds which were being distributed to various projects supported by the charity, Rokpa International, for which he was responsible.

On 12 October 2013 Samye-Ling released a statement confirming that one of the suspected killers had been named by Chengdu police as Tudeng Gusha, also known as Thubten Kunsal, who had spent some five years in the UK and who had made religious statues at Samye Ling and an associated centre in London. The statue of Nagarjuna at Samye Ling was sculpted by Lama Thubten Kunsal from Tashi Gonsar Gong monastery in Derge, East Tibet. On 12 October 2013 the centre announced that Thubten Kunsal has been named by Chengdu police as one of three individuals suspected of the murders of Akong Rinpoche, co-founder of the centre, and two others in Chengdu, China, on 8 October 2013.

At the centre of Samye Ling Tibetan Buddhist Centre, the first Tibetan Buddhist Centre to have been established in the West, is a stained-glass, circular mural of mass murderer Mao Zedong, a photograph of this "good omen" is displayed at the centre of the website home page. Here he is revered as a Bodhisattva [one who seeks awakening, an individual on the path to becoming a Buddha]. He is encircled by a ring of fire, symbolising a storm omen of revolution, setting an aftermath of peace upon the western world.

On the second of the ceremony’s three days, Mao died. And the third day, it rained all morning. But, in the afternoon, there appeared one of the most beautiful rainbows I have ever seen. I was certain that it must be a good omen.

In his raised right hand he is wielding a Dorjee and left hand a Vajra, a legendary and ritualistic weapon, symbolising the properties of a diamond (indestructibility) and a thunderbolt (irresistible force). Seated upon a lotus, high above the clouds (impunity), he associated with spiritual awakening, and faithfulness. The lotus is considered pure, emerging from murky waters perfectly clean; symbolising purity of speech, of body, and of the mind. Visible through a corridor from the main entrance, a turn of left or right, revealing the centre's temple.

Samye Ling began inside an occupied hunting lodge named Johnston House [Rokpa Trust charity office, bunk house / library for visitors]. Daramsala searched Europe for atmospheric conditions similiar to that of Tibet, thereafter locating a weather station elevated several miles beyond a small village named Eskdalemuir. Located off the west coast of Scotland Samye Ling also occupies Holy Isle, a Centre for World Peace and Health is located to the north of the island. The isle has ancient spiritual heritage dating back to the 6th century.

As a young man, Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche was a "selfish waster" but his journey to Scotland has seen him take a different path. He was born in an "idyllic" village in Tibet but constantly rebelled against his family, experiencing wild times around the world for many years. His leisure activities in India included "gambling, movie-going and chatting up young women". Now he calls a quiet corner of southern Scotland his home, where he is the abbot of the Samye Ling Buddhist monastery near Eskdalemuir.

In September 2000 a police investigation into sex abuse announced a scandal involving an unnamed senior monk – later revealed as an Englishman known as Tsering Tashi, real name Timothy Mannox – accused by an 18 year old novice named Kevin Don, who had been a monk for a year of abusing him (said Mr Mannox asked him to stay the night, but after he fell asleep he woke up three times with Mr Mannox's hand on his genitals) whilst he was 16, as well as claims of assault against three men, further accusations claiming that seniority at the centre was turning a blind eye to drug use, sexual affairs, theft and deception.

Kevin Don said that after leaving the monastery he took his accusations to the press because he did not want the same thing to happen to someone else. Don, who was 16 when he went to Samye Ling, said he visited Mr Mannox in the summer of 1998, when he was ill. He said Mr Mannox asked him to stay the night, but after he fell asleep he woke up three times with Mr Mannox's hand on his genitals.

Whistle blowing Kevin Stevenson further alleged that he saw residents smoke cannabis and take LSD, going on to claim that a monk stole several golden Buddha’s from the retreat shop and pawned them for heroin in Dumfries, and some monks behaving intimately with female visitors.’ Of more than a 100 residents there, probably only 20 are genuinely interested in Buddhism’ he added. Earlier in the year in June another monk, whilst a guest at the centre, Tenzin Chonjoe, had been convicted of assaulting a 14 year old girl. Drunk at the time and with an already drink problem, he was sentenced to three months imprisonment and placed on the sex offenders register.

In June 2000, another Samye Ling monk was sentenced to three months in jail for molesting a teenage girl. Tenzin Chonjoe, 30, indecently assaulted the teenager in a bedsit after befriending her with tales of Kung Fu, meditation and fortune telling. The monk, who had an alcohol problem, had been a guest at Samye Ling when the attack happened in Carlisle. He was jailed for three months and placed on the Sex Offenders' Register after admitting indecent assault.

Mannox left Samye Ling shortly after the Daily Record investigation in April 2000. He is now living in England. As well as the abuse allegations against Mannox, the Record investigation had uncovered evidence of drug-taking, sexual affairs and benefit fraud among members of the 100-strong Buddhist community. The abuse claims became a backdrop to increasing tensions within the centre and the local community in Eskdalemuir. Leading monks were accused of creating a cult atmosphere and building extravagant shrines and palaces. Senior monks were also accused of enjoying lavish lifestyles, with expensive cars and first-class air travel. Their simple homes were even fitted with satellite television.

In 1976 Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche chose Osel Tendzin as his Vajra Regent, fully empowering him as a holder of the Kagyu lineage, the first Westerner to be appointed to such a position. Osel Tendzin (alias Thomas Rich) became the leader of America's largest Tibetan Buddhist group the Vajradhatu (Trungpa’s Shambhala cult renamed Vajradhatu) International Buddhist Church (no transparency with IRS). He fled into seclusion because many members of the “Church” demanded that he resign his position during a revelation concerning a bisexual man with whom he had homosexual relations had received a positive test for the AIDS virus. Later that year, in December, a high priest of Tibetan Buddhism told a group of American Buddhists that there was grave concern that Mr Tendzin 'might have passed this incurable disease on to many, many people.'.

As revelations increased it was further revealed that Tendzin had slept with “Hundreds of Shambhala participants” (mostly young men) while he had the aids' virus. Three senior members of the Vajradhatu congregation, who asked not to be identified, said Mr Tendzin's companion, a man in his 20s, had also passed the virus along again when he had sex with a woman in the community; she had since tested positive for the AIDS virus. Members of the church board of directors were said to have done nothing about Mr Tendzin's behaviour for months, even after they learned that he was infected with the virus.

Tenzin offered to explain his behaviour at a meeting which I attended. Like all of his talks, this was considered a teaching of dharma, and donations were solicited and expected. So, I paid him $35.00 to hear his explanation. In response to close questioning by students, he first swore us to secrecy (family secrets again), and then said that Trungpa had requested him to be tested for HIV in the early 1980s and told him to keep quiet about the positive result. Tendzin had asked Trungpa what he should do if students wanted to have sex with him, and Trungpa replied that as long as he did his Vajrayana purification practises, it did not matter because they would not get the disease. Tendzin's answer, in short, was that he had obeyed the guru.

Shambhala has always been under the umbrella of the Karma Kagyu sect, as many dozens of Lamaist sects (the Diamond way et al.) are. All are allied with Communist China and are a part participant in China’s soft power manipulations upon the West World. Not one of these Tibetan Lamas, of any sect, nor Pema Chodron who has been there to help for the whole ride has ever called out or condemned this Regent of Trungpa and his behaviour. His negligent homicide (knowing he had AIDS and having unprotected sex) was covered over. Thrangu Rinpoche tutored many Tibetan tulkus (high lamas) when they first arrived in India, training them at Rumtek, Sikkim the late 16th Karmapa’s monastery.

With each passing year, the “narrative” on the Regent's actions grows more entrenched and enshrined as what happened. . . no one seems to approach this from the lineage's teachings on the Guru Disciple relationship and Samaya. One cannot view the Regent as an ordinary person nor what happened conventionally without violating one's Samaya vow to the lineage of Trungpa Rinpoche. He was chosen specifically by the Vidyadhara, and he was trained and given complete authority. Ultimately, it is impossible for “ordinary” people like us to understand what is actually happening in situations like these. The least we could have done would have been to not jump—to not denigrate the Regent. Our lineage history is full of situations like this. At the time that Guru Ripoche killed two “innocent” people by dancing on the palace roof and dropping his vajra and Khatavanga—everyone who heard the story must have thought he was guilty and should be put to death. Everyone knows the story—there was a miracle and people changed their minds about Guru Rinpoche. That is generally the way it works in our lineage. Well, there was a miracle with the Regent too—which should have changed minds—his body stayed in Samadhi for 3 days after his physical “death.” There were rainbows during his cremation. In the past, these types of displays of realisation would have been understood to demonstrate that the “conventional view” is not what we are dealing with here. The main lesson here is to understand the difference between fools and realised beings—and follow the instruction of realised beings.

Thrangu Rinpoche, colluding with China since 1984, and formally in 2006, even built the AIDS-killing Regent a Stupa in California to commemorate the Regent and his teachings; were four hundred and sixty Tibetan Lamaists, Mixed Buddhist, and other eastern cults and new age Tantric- inspired groups have now taken up quarters in that State.

Initially the Buddhist community at Johnstone house was led by a Canadian Theravada (Pali Text Society of Rhys David, a critic and opponent of Theosophy, made Buddhism available to Europe) monk named Leslie George Dawson, upon leaving Leslie was subsequently ordained in the Tibetan Vajrayana tradition and enthroned as Namgyal Rinpoche by the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa.

Members of Pema Chodron's cult of Shambhala agree with all radical Progressive Left ideology; because they helped light the fire under it, back in their guru, Trungpa’s 60s’ heydays. Mindfulness is useful to Egalitarianism as the doctrine teaches non-judgmental behaviours, so people are slow-boiled into accepting what they would have usually rejected before the teachings.

A Buddhist student, and later a teacher (teaching poetry at Naropa University) of Trungpa was Alan Ginsberg; a supporter and member of NAMBLA, a pedophilia and pederasty advocacy organisation working to abolish age of consent laws and legalise sexual relations between adults and children.

After the Osel Tendzin AIDS scandal leadership of Shambhala then passed on to Trungpa's eldest son and Shambhala heir, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. In 2018, Buddhist Project Sunshine, an organisation founded as a survivors' network for former Shambhala members, reported multiple allegations of sexual assault within the Shambhala community. In July 2018, Naropa Institute removed Sakyong Mipham from their board following the allegations of sexual misconduct and in August 2018 Buddhist Project Sunshine released another report containing further allegations against Sakyong Mipham that included sexual encounters with minors. In response, Sakyong Mipham issued a letter to the community, saying that:

Some of these women have shared experiences of feeling harmed as a result of these relationships. I am now making a public apology. In addition, I would like you to know that over the years, I have apologised personally to people who have expressed feeling harmed by my conduct, including some of those who have recently shared their stories. I have also engaged in mediation and healing practices with those who have felt harmed. Thus I have been, and will continue to be, committed to healing these wounds.

In December 2018, the Larimer County, Colorado Sheriff's Office opened an investigation of the allegations of sexual assault, and the investigation was closed in February 2020, with no charges being filed. In February 2019, Shambhala International's interim governing council issued a report by Wickwire Holm, a Canadian law firm, that detailed two credible allegations of sexual misconduct against Sakyong Mipham. Later that month, six members of his Kusung, the Shambhala body protectors, wrote an open letter corroborating a pattern of physical and sexual misconduct and other concerns. Sakyong Mipham subsequently stated that he would cease teaching for the "foreseeable future".

Andrea Winn, the creator of Buddhist Project Sunshine, does not consider herself a journalist. But she was able to get many other survivors to tell their stories, ultimately shining light on decades of abuse by faith leaders throughout the community. When reporters descended upon the story—requesting additional proof, corroboration, and on-the-record interviews—everything changed. Many survivors were wary, exhausted by their trauma and unwilling to put their names out for public scrutiny. The ensuing struggle between the goals of journalism and the needs of survivors underscores both the benefits and limitations of reporting on sexual abuse.

He returned to teaching in March 2020, leading a pilgrimage to Nepal and instructing a group of 108 students. In September 2020, The Walrus, an independent, non-profit Canadian media organisation, published an investigative report detailing a culture of abuse dating back to early days of the Shambhala Buddhist organisation, with all three leaders of the organisation, including its founder, Chögyam Trungpa, having been credibly accused of sexual misconduct and abuse of power. The Lineage of Sakyongs is the Mukpo family lineage of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. The Sakyong is the second in the family to hold this title and has the responsibility of propagating the teachings of Shambhala.

Shambhala International, the community’s governing organisation, is headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and runs about 200 meditation centers around the world.

The term "Sakyong" literally means "earth-protector" in Tibetan. Sakyongs are regarded as chögyals (Sanskrit dharmarajas) – "kings of truth" or "Dharma Kings" – who combine the spiritual and worldly paths. This Shambhala path is specifically meant for lay practitioners. In Tibetan Buddhism, the first Dharmaraja of Shambhala, Dawa Sangpo, was said to have been empowered directly by the Buddha. Dawa Sangpo recognised that he could not give up his throne and responsibilities in order to pursue the path of a monastic. Thus, he requested teachings that could allow him to continue to rule his kingdom, while practicing the dharma.

Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche was the first in this lineage of Sakyongs to receive this empowerment. He is referred to as the "Druk Sakyong", or "Dragon Earth-Protector". He received this ritual empowerment from Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche in Boulder, Colorado. Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche was first empowered as "Sawang" by his father, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche in 1979. The empowerment of the Blazing Jewel of "Sovereignty" (ritual empowerment for the Sakyong) was conferred upon him by his teacher Penor Rinpoche in May 1995. In April 2023, this empowerment was bestowed upon Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche's eldest daughter, Jetsun Drukmo Rinpoche, who will succeed him as lineage heir.

Kagyu Ling Centre, France

Kagyu Ling was founded in 1976 by the late Kalu Rinpoche, he died in 1989 and during the last two years of his life the present Kalu Rinpoche, has assumed responsibility for the institutions set up by his predecessor. But during Kalu's childhood the situation at Kagyu Ling allegedly deteriorated to the point where it no longer functioned as a Buddhist centre. The young Kalu sacked Lama Tempa and five other resident Bhutanese monks, replacing them with westerners and a "collegiate" system of control and responsibility.

June Campbell, a former Kagyu nun who is a feminist scholar, acted as Kalu Rinpoche's translator for several years. In her book Traveller in Space: Gender, Identity and Tibetan Buddhism, she writes that she consented to participate in what she realised later was an abusive sexual relationship with him, which he told her was tantric spiritual practice. She raises the same theme in a number of interviews, including one with Tricycle magazine in 1996.

Controversy over Kagyu Ling might then have died down – except for the fact that a woman known as Sandrine decided to tell her story of rape and sexual violence to the gendarmerie. At first she was a lone voice, but recently three more women decided to testify; Lama Tempa was arrested.

New Kadampa Tradition

On February 5, 1997, three Tibetans were murdered on the campus of the Buddhist School of Dialectics, close to the Dalai Lama’s residence in McLeod Ganj, near Dharamsala, India. The victims were the founder and principal of the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics, Venerable Lobsang Gyatso, age 70, and two of his students, Lobsang Ngawang, 25, and Ngawang Latto, 23. All three were reportedly killed with sharp weapons. Lobsang Gyatso died at the scene of the crime.

The two monks were rushed to a nearby hospital, where they succumbed to their injuries. Six Tibetans were detained for investigation, and one Tibetan youth has been arrested. One newspaper, Indian Express, claims that the killer or killers are connected with followers of the deity Dorje Shugden. Lobsang Gyatso reportedly received threatening letters that accused him of being part of the Dalai Lama “clique” and of spreading propaganda against the deity Dorje Shugden.

To stop this evil action, as the representative of the Western Shugden Society, I, personally, will organise demonstrations against the Dalai Lama directly. I requested Kelsang Pema and Kelsang Thubchen to do this job for me, and they have accepted. Please help Pema and Thubchen with whatever they need.

Gyatso’s first coup was to overthrow the Tibetan Buddhist Manjushri Institute in England. In 1977, he was invited by Lama Yeshe to be a resident teacher and soon garnered a large following. He then blackmailed the school, threatening to release a 100-page document that falsely alleged criminal drug dealing and more. Within a few years, he managed to take over the institution, ousting the Tibetan religious leadership by pushing out anyone who had the authority to keep his power in check. Tenzin Peljor states that Gyatso even bribed one teacher, paying them to leave. He then became the highest authority at the Institute. Today, Manjushri serves as the central headquarters of the New Kadampa Tradition.

NKT members primarily worship ‘Gesh-la’ and mention him far more frequently than they do Buddha and most NKT shrines are known to have more photos of Kelsang Gyatso than of Buddha. NKT disciples le having photos of KG next to their bed, as their screensavers, everywhere they possibly could. These followers are encouraged to hallucinate him and to have conversations with him in their head.

The biggest obvious clue that it’s a cult is that they only read and study books by Kelsang Gyatso — you won’t find any other Buddhist books in an NKT centre.

The NKT is well known for banning all other Buddhist books from their bookshops. Kelsang Gyatso removed all pictures of the Dalai Lama and books by other authors when he took over the original FPMT centre at Manjushri. This means that members are unable to compare the material in his books with that of others. Senior members of NKT are told to withhold information regarding the whereabouts of Kelsang Gyatso from other members.

Members do not tend to question the (lack of) information they are given about KG, as this mystery surrounding KG’s whereabouts seems to have elevated him to an even more mysterious and omniscient figure with more magical qualities.

Ex-members who are no longer indoctrinated by the magical thinking, emotionally loaded videos and teachings believe KG has been dead a long time or has a degenerative illness. This would mean that the book ‘Mirror of Dharma’ was just a re-write by senior NKT. Many members believe that Kelsang Gyatso functions more like a God, with the ability to intervene in their lives. Followers are encouraged to believe Kelsang Gyatso is an enlightened being and yet they are also encouraged to fear he would be assassinated if he turns up in person. This persecution complex in my opinion reflects paranoia instilled in them by the leadership.

Church of Shambala

Ronald Lloyd Spencer Ron Spencer a.k.a. "Buddha Maitreya" has a murky background. Spencer seems to be a common con man who exploits others. He has had several wives and left behind children. He may have been wanted once by the English authorities, and is being watched more carefully in the United States. There have also been allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation between Ron and at least one former female follower.

Spencer claims to be the reincarnation of Siddhartha Gautama and Jesus of Nazareth. With this annunciation, he created a religious sect that is allegedly Buddhist, albeit absolutely none of his teachings is Buddhist but are vague forms of esotericism, he also sells a product of geomancy and parapsychological healing. His twisted coat hanger cult has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, claiming falsely that this money will be used for the reconstruction of temples in Tibet and other countries, taking advantage of uninformed people both in the United States and Asia.

Charges by which the International Buddhist Ethics Committee is accusing Ronald Lloyd Spencer lists & “The Church of Shambhala Vajradhara Maitreya Sangha” are listed below:

Spiritual Fraud, False Buddhism

Therefore, it is detailed a series of EVIDENCES that support the Charges referred so that the Jury members decide about the possible “Responsibility”, “Innocence” or “Insanity” of the accused. Such evidence come from graphic and audiovisual media that have been gathered, sorted and confirmed in their order and context as Means of Proof in order to know, establish, dictate and determine the Responsibility of the Accused for committing the aforementioned Charges.

The procedure established in the Statute of INTERNATIONAL BUDDHIST ETHICS COMMITTEE & BUDDHIST TRIBUNAL ON HUMAN RIGHTS provides both bodies the ostentation to enjoy independence and liberty from state and national regulation and control, besides having the legality and acting as a Buddhist People in order to assert its customs, traditions, practices, procedures, judgments and rights as well as acting in pursuit of the development of Spirituality, of Buddhist Ethics, and of the defence of International Human Rights.

This procedure has the particularity, singularity and distinction of having: “Special Jurisdiction of the Tribal Law” and “Universal Jurisdiction of the International Law”, thus having the Character, Juridical validity, Legal Powers, infrastructure, Training and Capability necessary to be Actor, Administrator and Executor of Justice in this realm and exercise, by determining the “Responsibility” of the Accused by means of an Ethical Judgment whose Purpose is Truth, Reconciliation and Learning.

Detail of Evidences

International Buddhist Ethics Committee: In the United States, there are thousands of sects. One of them is led by Ronald Lloyd Spencer, who claims to be the reincarnation of Siddhartha Gautama and Jesus of Nazareth. He has created a religious sect that is allegedly Buddhist, albeit absolutely none of his teachings is Buddhist. In fact, actually, Ronald Lloyd Spencer teaches esotericism and sells product of geomancy and parapsychological healing, thus using the image of Buddhism in a fraudulent and illegitimate way.

Through this SPIRITUAL FRAUD Ronald Lloyd Spencer has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, claiming falsely that this money will be used for the reconstruction of temples in Tibet and other countries, so he takes advantage of ignorant people lacking of understanding about Buddhist Spirituality both in the United States and Asia. These people have been scammed systematically by him when using the name of “Buddha Maitreya the Christ,” which constitutes a huge damage and insult to the ancient culture of Buddhism.

Evidence 1: People disguised as Buddhist Monks create a temple of Esotericism, claiming false Buddhist antecedents

GLENDA ANDERSON (THE PRESS DEMOCRAT): “The Church of Shambhala Vajradhara Maitreya Sangha Monastery sits atop a mountain overlooking Clear Lake like a mirage, hinting of exotic mythical temples. (…) Each structure includes underground levels that are connected by passage ways, a rabbit warren structure that helps conserve energy. Spiral stairways link the above- and below-ground levels.

The design of the monastery near Kelseyville is intended to enhance spirituality and the environment, said Lama Daniel, a former London lawyer who gave up his worldly ways to become an American Buddhist monk. The monastery incorporates green living and building technologies with sacred geometric patterns that stimulate healing of the soul, he said. (…) The monastery is on 160 acres purchased in 2006 for about $375,000, according to Lake County documents.

The finished product is expected to cost $1.5 million to $2 million. Construction began in 2008 and has yet to be completed, but the complex already is home to a small population of nuns and monks as well a handful of yaks and llamas. Upon completion, it will be open to the public for spiritual healings and retreats. The monastery is the brainchild of an American-born (…) Ronald Lloyd Spencer (…) in a written statement said Tibetan masters came to his home when he was 9 years old to tell him he was Buddha Maitreya, the reincarnation of Buddha.

He said his parents rejected the Tibetan masters’ news, and he did not pursue his calling until he turned 30. According to the organization, (Mr Spencer) founded the Buddhist Association of North America, built several monasteries, including in Tibet, and meditation centres in India, Nepal, China, London, Sedona, Arizona, Napa and Santa Rosa. The meditation centres focus on Soul Therapy, a trademarked system using sacred design and geomancy.

They utilize crystals, magnets and wire in geometric designs to assist in the soul healing. Healing tools are suspended over beds in private meditation rooms in the domes and in the pyramid building, where (…) etheric weavers hang in a chapel-like room with speakers emitting the calming voice of (Mr Spencer). (…) A variety of etheric weavers and pendants in geometric shapes can be purchased online. The money from the devices, which start at about $80 (…) has given more than $3.7 million to support the renewal and restoration of Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and sacred sites in Nepal, India and Tibet, said.”

Evidence 2: Deceit

Rick Ross: “A former truck driver who now runs a cult in California (…) announced on radio that he and the Dalai Lama of Tibet are working together. Ronald Lloyd Spencer (…) says that he and the Dalai Lama will soon be sitting on throne seats next to each other. Spencer runs therapy and retreat centres in Mt. Shasta, California and Omaha, Nebraska. He made these and other bizarre claims on his radio shows, which are broadcast in the Bay Area of San Francisco on 1450 KFST FM, KNRY 1240 AM in Santa Cruz and in Omaha on KKAR Talk. (…)Mr. Spencer is a liar. A former secretary who served His Holiness the Dalai Lama and is now at Stanford University (…) Secretary Tenzin Geyche Tehton added that what Spencer says concerning the Dalai Lama is totally nonsense and simply rubbish. (…) It seems Mr. Spencer collects donations for lifesaving assistance, which may explain how he managed to arrange various photo ops to show supporters and to post at his website. (…) his sordid past includes theft, sexual abuse, fraud and brainwashing. One of his victims referred to him as little more than a con man. Spencer may say that donations help in the restoration of [Tibetan] monasteries, but you won’t find a detailed and independently audited financial statement on his website, to demonstrate dollar-for-dollar how the money is spent. One former Spencer confidant observed, I pity the poor monasteries that cannot possibly have the slightest hint about how he is using them. Spencer also sells an array of pricey metaphysical contraptions and amulets, some supposedly designed for etheric healing. He claims, all profit from sales is donated to Tibetan monastery renovations and sponsorship of exiled Tibetans. Ron Spencer staffs his Soul Therapy and Shambhala Retreat Centers, largely with Americans he calls monks. These devotees manufacture the contraptions he hawks, but often receive little more than room and board. (…) an eclectic mix of New Age beliefs that includes everything from the Archangel Michael to the Lost Continent of Atlantis. Spencer even promotes theories about UFOs. However, these are certainly not doctrines His Holiness the Dalai Lama would recognize. (…) (Spencer) has been divorced, remarried and has children. (…) also has a history of recreational drug use and is a hemp enthusiast. Well, it’s a free country and as they say (…). But it seems Spencer’s sailing shouldn’t be subsidized by trading on the respected name of the Dalai Lama of Tibet.”

Ratna Henry Chia: “(Ronald Lloyd Spencer), an American man born in 1951, declares that he is (…) the reappearance of Christ, the Buddha. (…) And his name and title are changed time to time: Archangel Michael, Tulku Karma Sonam Phuntsok Rinpoche, Babaji, Tulku Je Tsong Khapa Gyalwa Rinpoche, Lama Dorje Buddha Maitreya Jesus Archangel Michael and last but not the least the American Buddha. (…) An official email from the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama regarding (Spencer): Dear Ratna Henry Chia, thank you for your email. I am to inform you that the person you mentioned in your email as being a tulku has never been endorsed or recognized by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. We had received quite a number of letters and emails recently and in the past regarding this. With best wishes, Tenzin Wangden Andrugtsang. (…) ”

CultNews.com (November 09, 2002): “Spencer claimed on his radio show, “that [the Dalai Lama of Tibet] will retire next July and in recognition of Buddha Maitreya…crown him…and hand over all…ashrams…as well as [his] spiritual seat to Spencer. This announcement was made on Spencer’s Shambhala Hour program, which is broadcast in the Bay Area, Santa Cruz and Omaha, Nebraska.”

Evidence 3: Mistreatment of Buddhist Monks

CultNews: “(Spencer) got mad when some monks he hosted from Tibet wouldn’t recognize that preposterous title. Ronald Lloyd Spencer’s Church of Shambala, which has been called a cult, sponsored seven monks to make the journey to America. However, it seems when the monks refused to recognize Spencer as the reincarnation of Buddha the church abruptly withdrew its support, their religious visas were revoked and a dozen immigration officers in riot gear showed up to arrest them… After the negative fallout from this, it seems a legal settlement was struck between the would-be Buddha and the mistreated monks.

According to a document dated March 9th and recently forwarded to CultNews that settlement not surprisingly includes what is commonly called a gag order. It states, In the interest of settlement of all differences, legal disputes, claims and causes of action, the parties, including their legal representatives, agree not to have any further contact with the media, which includes newspaper, television, radio and internet websites, or any other media form for the purpose of discussing any issue of the Monks and the Church of Shambala and the dispute regarding the visa revocation.

The Church of Shambala and the Monks recognize that there are differing accounts of the events leading up to the arrest of the Monks and thereafter but wish no further reporting on this matter… Well, it looks like the monks got a good lawyer and Ron Spencer wants everyone kept quiet. Daniel Honeywell, Spencer’s disciple and representative, said that the document he forwarded via email to CultNews was supposedly self-explanatory (…). Hopefully, what flows from all this is that the monks were well provided for and traveled back to their native land peacefully and in comfort.

Though, the matter might have been concluded better if Spencer and his church offered them a public apology. But despite the settlement, which essentially silences the monks on the matter, this self-proclaimed Buddha has been busted as an egotist and certainly less than hospitable host to say the least. CultNews thinks it will require virtually endless reincarnations according to Buddhism before someone like Ron Spencer ever reaches spiritual maturity.”.

Evidence 4: Scam

Cult Education Institute (quoting an old friend of Ronald Lloyd Spencer):

“My experience with Ron was actually quite a while ago, in Honolulu, Hawaii, about 1983 to 1984. I lost all contact with him after that time period. I am writing this now because I just happened to run across one of his centers in Mt. Shasta, California, the Archangel Michael Soul Therapy Center. I met this very nice girl running the center who was totally ignorant of Ron’s past history. In those days in Hawaii, he had not yet developed his Buddhism angle, although the roots of that were evident. He was then totally into exploiting the New Age trends of the time. Crystals and pyramids were all the rage, and Ron knew how to play with them.

In my first introduction to the small group that had formed around him, a good friend encouraged me to meet and then continue with Ron. After my first meeting I was told that if I was to be in with the group I should buy a cheap shiny pyramid necklace pendant for $150.00. This demonstrated to me right away what Ron was and still is mainly interested in, money. I was a student at that time and did not have that kind of money to spare. Ron found out I had credit card though, and it turned out he had to have a $1,000.00 stereo system for his magic. He assured me that if I purchased the stereo for him, he would pay me back shortly. Ron also required precious stones for his ceremonies. He saw my mother’s diamond engagement ring that I wore, and said he wanted to borrow it just for a certain ceremony and would give it right back.

Weeks went by, and I frequently asked him for the credit card payment and my mother’s ring back, but there was always some excuse or another, but a not to worry, I would get them back soon. Meanwhile, Tai Situ Rinpoche, a truly distinguished Tibetan Buddhist teacher, was visiting Hawaii and gave several lectures at the University of Hawaii, which I was attending. Tai Situ Rinpoche made quite an impact in Hawaii at that time. Ron claimed that he was a very close friend of Tai Situ Rinpoche and announced this widely to promote himself. At that point, I was beginning to suspect Ron’s behavior and motives, and was strongly suspicious of this claim.

I made a private appointment with Tai Situ Rinpoche the next day. I asked him if he knew Ron Spencer. He did not recognize the name (…). He had absolutely no relationship or any other contact with Ron of any kind (…). I was losing hope of ever getting my ring or money back. Meanwhile, bad things were happening to the sister of my friend who first introduced me to Ron. My friend (a girl), her sister, Ron, and Ron’s wife and child were all sharing a house that my friend was paying for. My friend told me that her sister was having an emotional crisis. She did not know what was going on, but we found out later after Ron skipped town, that Ron was sneaking into her room after his wife went to bed and was having sex with her. He claimed that this was for her spiritual benefit and used crystals and other magic objects inserted into her body. One of the people in the small hardcore group that followed Ron around was an ex-prostitute.

Although she had ended that life and moved on, Ron convinced her that her bad karma could only be healed if she gave him all her salary. This, the poor lady did with joy, informing us that only now were her sins being forgiven, by Ron. Others of this group also were supporting Ron financially. Perhaps he needed all he could get, because of the huge intake of drugs he seemed to require, mainly marijuana and LSD. I wonder if he still uses drugs to the extent he once did. I was emboldened by my interview with Tai Situ Rinpoche. I started to tell my friend of Ron’s lies and theft. From me and from observing her sister’s problems, my friend also became suspicious, even though she had been Ron’s main financial benefactor. Shortly thereafter, Ron left Hawaii very suddenly, with, of course, my ring and the unpaid bill.

That was the last I heard of this con man until my Mt. Shasta visit. It was interesting going through Ron’s Mt. Shasta center and looking at his website. I can readily identify the source and see the flow of all the nonsense he inflicts upon his poor victims. I, personally, love and learn from Buddhism and am especially outraged that Ron appears to be exploiting this profound wisdom now as his latest con. Even though his writings on the website are barely literate, there is some skill to all of his lies and distortions. It looks like he even has finally made it to the East to take photos with legitimate Tibetan Buddhists. I pity the poor monasteries that cannot possibly have the slightest hint about how he is using them and who he really is. Now he is supposedly the Buddha and Jesus.”

Guruphiliac: “(Ronald Lloyd Spencer) runs the Tibetan Foundation/Church of Shambhala [bold italics ours], which apparently has little to do with Tibet and a lot to do with Ron’s appropriation of Tibetan Buddhism as a means toward his own economic benefit and ego-aggrandizement. (…) But before Ron was the second coming of Buddha and Christ, he was just another NewAge™ flimflam man living in Hawaii. (…) A money scammer (…) The real question is whether Ron is knowingly impersonating the Buddha or if he actually believes he is the Buddha. It’s a very important distinction. In the former he is an out-and-out con man and criminal, in the latter he’s merely another insane guru with enough ninnies around whom believe in him to keep him going. (…) For the moment, we’re going with the former.”

Evidence 5: Selling and profiting from False metaphysical products?

Ratna Henry Chia: “(Spencer is selling) etheric healing tools! So bulky! I have never seen such things in Tibetan Buddhism. Very Expensive! Some of them costs more than USD300.00! No wonder Ron Spencer is so rich (…) Blue Syberian Agni Suryan Vajra – Price: USD655.00. Maitreya Christ Principle Ascension Vajra – Price: USD430.00. Christ Consciousness Vajra – Price: USD720.00.

A set of 10 Etheric Weavers for Healing the Etheric Field Awakening Buddha Nature – Price: USD972.00.”” [8]

Evidence 6: Sectarian behavior and Brainwashing

Cult Education Institute (quoting a former follower of Spencer): “I heard about a certain Buddhist group that used metatronic tools and based their understanding of the soul and individual personality upon rays of light. Each ray was supposedly associated with certain distinct personalities. This appeared at first to be mystical and very cerebral–fitting within my previous studies and understanding of Kaballah. I met a so-called Buddhist monk, ordered their books and signed up for a darshan (i.e. one-week intensive seminar) in the mountains of Mount Shasta, California. (…) Everybody was asked to dress completely in white and bring a tape player. I traveled light–thinking that this was the guru I had been searching for. (…) We quickly lost our sense of connection with the outside. (…) The monks worked 18 or more hours every day without complaints. Everyone was honored and grateful to be a part of the ashram or Sangha House as it was called–supervised by (Spencer). (…) Later, I would come to understand that everything he criticized, concerning incorrect behaviour and thinking–were actually things he was doing. How he labelled it as wrong within others, but got away with it himself–was a piece of his brainwashing. He wanted to separate us from everything but himself [see Milieu Control]. If we gave our individuality up and followed him, we could remember our pure soul [see Demand for Purity] and find the many awesome answers we had all been looking for. How easy it seemed.

Why not? We would be eating such wonderful, blessed food (from the same menu) and be with the reincarnation of Buddha and Jesus too. (…) Our money was spent for the darshan, tools and books. Everything was blessed and there were very beautiful crystals in the metatronic designs. All of (Spencer) designs were supposed to be telepathically sent to his monks (…). If something didn’t seem right, went unexplained or was questioned, never mind–it was somehow related to the fact that we were processing and/or awaking old soul material [see Doctrine Over Person]. (…) I seemed to have answers for everything. Everything had a simple answer, but the answers were not mine. Actually, everything was not mine–I had become part of someone else. Someone else was giving directions now, and I didn’t have to worry. What a relief! My soul was being integrated. I kept in communication with the other participants, and we planned our next darshan on (Spencer) birthday–we were invited, chosen and special. Now it was time for intense soul therapy. I bought a pyramid from the group, other tools and kept reading their books about the rays (Tapestry of the Gods) and played their music. Mind stilling, hypnotic, subliminally suggestive music with drumming, chanting and (Spencer)–continuously lecturing while the music played rhythmically in the background. He lectured about the rays and other beliefs. All the tapes and compact discs I purchased from the group were carefully put together by (Spencer).

My friends and family were silent about what I had stepped into. If something had been said something to me–it probably would have fallen upon deaf ears. The people in my life listened politely. I told them about using the tools that seemed to posses some energy and the books that gave me the deeper understanding that I had always searched for. Of course, (Spencer) was becoming ever more present in my consciousness. I began giving him more and more credit for the positive changes in around me. But why? After two more darshans that involved a close friend–we were invited to join the Sangha –an extended group that was closely aligned with a worldwide ashram. Our enlightenment and recapitulating then would occur at an even faster pace. The clothes were ordered, but before they arrived someone said, You might be part of a ‘cult.’ Whamo! Me in a cult? I tried to shake it off, but knew it was true, and it blew my socks off. I had been betrayed, spiritually raped, and I was mad. I had also brought a close friend into this. I now felt the embarrassment of sharing with friends and family the so-called tools and the pyramid at my office. Now I was apologizing for everything previously said. After making apologies, I started to spread the news and contacted others involved. Looking back, it is hard to believe that I entered such a trap under the influence of someone who now appears to be a master con man. But before, when people close to me said, You are acting strange–I just saw them as the lost ones [see Dispensing of Existence].

In the beginning I received so many calls from the ashram center either trying to sell me something, or arrange for another darshan. I should have known. The monks work long hours and risk injuring themselves and others by driving without sleep. I should have known. It should have been obvious too through the music (with Spencer droning voice offering his lessons), which played 24 hours a day–that we were being continuously programmed. We were not allowed to get away and there was no free time. (…) Doubts came and went, but the music always seemed to be pulling me back, and I wanted to believe. I ignored all the warning signs because it was so comforting belonging to and being part of such a special group of like-minded seekers. I realize now that there was a widening gap of separation developing through my group experience, which was pulling me away from my personal roots and individual value system. This should have been my first clue. Anything that tends to pry you away from your family and values should at least be suspect. I had always been very trusting–especially regarding people who held positions of respect. Maybe this was naïve, but that was my early schooling. Sadly, it seems time for me move beyond those childhood ideals–gradually a balance is emerging. Ron Spencer appears to have an ugly background. Ron seems to be a common con man who exploits others. He has had several wives and left behind children. He may have been wanted once by the English authorities and is being watched more carefully here in the states.

There have also been allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation between Ron and at least one former female follower. When I started looking into various allegations regarding Ronald Spencer he responded by claiming I had lost it, was emotionally unfit and trying to manipulate others. He was playing his mind games again. Subsequently, I was excommunicated and designated within his category of Dark Lodge [a negative term used by the group–see Loaded Language]. The supposed Dark Lodge can be a pretty lonely place, but it was heaven compared to where I was once headed for. Since being excommunicated I began to read a highly recommended book, Captive Hearts, Captive Minds by Tobias. After the first three chapters it became clear to me that I had been with a real Psychopath –someone without feelings, only out for their own gain, exploiting and power tripping over others. A very sick man. It made me sick to think that I had taken the bait and was so close to being reeled in. But that sickness was the first part of healing for me, and I worked through it and probed that discomfort to better understand the experience and myself. Thankfully, there were others willing to help in that process. Many issues and relationships seem clearer to me now. Maybe it sometimes takes shaking things up a bit –to get the dust off and clarify things through a new perspective. Finally though, I concluded that [Ron Spencer] had ironically given me an opportunity to grow and realize the importance of self-introspection. I find myself actually thanking him for that. And I would rather be thankful than resentful, which seems like a more positive attitude for my recovery and healing. After all that I have experienced, it seems to me–that when we feel lonely and isolated, we should not go searching for something outside of ourselves. But look inside instead–for a deeper and more loving sense of who and what we are, and hopefully a better understanding of our own individual self-worth.”

Mooji

Mooji is an evil cult leader brainwashing "well-off whites" into zombified selflessness; to service as slaves, his undignified requests as if he were a living God. Cultural Marxists exploit conditioned repressive and partisan tolerances to marginalise us against who we are, inserting reconciliation clowns to colonise deracination from cultivating guilt infused servitude.

• Former members accuse spiritual teacher Mooji of running an abusive cult at his isolated ashram three hours from Lisbon, Portugal.
• They allege sleeping with students, abuse such as screaming, shouting, shaming and humiliating, controlling behavior, pairing and breaking up couples, brainwashing and mind control, coercing people from leaving and more.
• Mooji lives in a secluded hilltop gated area of the property with three young female disciples whom insiders say he is sleeping with. They also dress and undress him daily.
• Mooji has cheated on his past three girlfriends with other students. One longterm female resident of the ashram who left claims to have had sex with Mooji the entire time she was there. There are other women too afraid to speak out.
• Followers believe Mooji to be God and refer to him as “my Lord,” “my Master” and “my Father.” They regularly kiss his “holy” feet and bow to him.
• Strange ceremonies and rituals including exorcism type events occur at the center.
• Mooji has designated an isolation building for members who act out. They will be given one meal a day and learn to “know the self.”
• Mooji and his team smuggled over €200,000 of unreported cash into Portugal from London and one member got caught. They used this to purchase Monte Sahaja.
• Two members committed suicide in 2017, one at the ashram in Portugal and another in India.

Mooji was born Tony Moo-Young in Port Antonio, Jamaica, in 1954. His mother migrated to the UK as one of the windrush generation when he was one year old. Mooji's father died when he was eight, and he was raised by a strict uncle until he moved to London to be with his mother as a teenager. By age 30, Mooji was working as a street artist supporting his wife and child. In 1987, Mooji had an encounter with a Christian which began his spiritual quest, he went travelling in India, and attended the satsangs of the Indian guru Papaji. A scholar with a Ph.D. in Indian religions said that Mooji has no guru lineage as his teacher Papaji was “not authorised to take the gurus seat” by Ramana Maharshi and Mooji was also not authorised by Papaji. “Mooji is a self-appointed guru. In Indian tradition, a self-appointed guru is the least trustworthy person around, because only a dangerously deluded individual would want that position and the adulation that often comes with it.

Mooji continued to travel to India, each time returning to Brixton, London to sell chai and incense, as well as give away "thoughts for the day" rolled up in straws taken from McDonald's. He took the role of a spiritual teacher in 1999 when a group of spiritual seekers became his students, and began to produce books, CDs, and videos of his teachings. On Tony Moo becoming known as Mooji, Mooji said, "What can I say, except that’s life." Mooji's brother Peter said that people had always followed him wherever he went.

If I have to die, let me die at your feet today…If I have to fall let me fall in love with you my Lord.

Mooji continues to give meetings he calls satsangs at various locations around the world, regularly attracting over a thousand people from fifty nationalities. He also holds meditation retreats, sometimes with up to 850 people, each paying between €600 and €1000 for seven days, including the cost of satsang. He purchased a 30-hectare property in the parish of São Martinho das Amoreiras, in the Alentejo region of Portugal, and created an ashram called Monte Sahaja. According to Shree Montenegro, the General Manager of Mooji Foundation, there are 40 to 60 people living full-time in the ashram.

“Mooji is the sun and we are his rays. He is the ocean and we are his waves. It is his grace only that brought us together in the first place. He is all that there is.”.

A fire at the ashram in 2017 required the evacuation of close to 150 people. Activities at the ashram are funded through the UK-based charity Mooji Foundation Ltd., which reported an income of £1.5 million in 2018 (of which nearly £600,000 came from 'donations and legacies'), as well as through income from its trading subsidiaries Mooji Media Ltd. in the UK, and Associação Mooji Sangha and Jai Sahaja in Portugal. Mooji's followers describe satsang as a “meeting in truth” where people come from all around the world, to ask questions about life, and seek peace and meaning.

On stage at his Monte Sahaja ashram in rural Portugal, Mooji directs his devotees to bow and kiss his feet. They gush with love and devotion in tears. A young woman says to him in an accent, “I don’t kiss your feet, I kiss feet of God of universe.

The BBC described Mooji devotees as mostly well-off whites. One follower describes Mooji's teaching as spiritual food that is neither esoteric nor hard to understand. Devotees compare Mooji to Jesus, and often line up to receive a hug from him after his talks, and follow him as he leaves. Mooji describes his teaching as the easy path to enlightenment. “It’s definitely a cult,” says a former longtime senior staff member who spent many years in Mooji’s group.

Former members who are speaking out agree. They claim Mooji has appropriated and distorted the guru tradition and has used it to justify a cult of devotion and worship around himself while abusing many in the process.

I had an experience recently, where you, as the lion that you are, took my heart in your teeth and you shook me and the peace and the miraculous revelations that came from that are incredible. It is only because of your generosity to be the lion that we can be the sheep.

The cults music is entirely devoted to Mooji. One kirtan song, sung to hundreds of his followers who live at his ashram, has the lyrics “Mooji you’re the answer, master you’re the way” recited again and again. As Hitler's propagandist Joseph Goebbels once said: "If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself".

In another, a devotee sings on stage “Praise to my father, Sri Mooji. Praise to his lotus feet that whatever they touch they make it pure.” Another song has the lyrics, “If you have to die, die at the feet of the guru.” Another one sung to Mooji “By your grace I am. I come to life in you. Shiva, Shiva.”. A guy who calls Mooji “beloved Godfather” tells him “It is by your grace alone Lord that thy will be done.” Another, “You give everything. You give us life. You bring us home.” A young devotee reads a poetic letter she wrote to him, “If I have to cry let my tears be holy waters to wash your feet. If I have to die, let me die at your feet today…If I have to fall let me fall in love with you my Lord.”.

Former members describe residents of the ashram as “zombies” who have lost all sense of themselves in their worship of him.

Rationalist Sanal Edamaruku argues that western gurus like Mooji promote a simple formula that appeals to gullible people seeking an easy awakening. Mooji was called a "Global peddler of metaphysical mumbo-jumbo" in a 22 May 2017 article in Indian publication Outlook. One person who spent time Mooji's Ashram in Monte Sahaja reported seeing “frequent crying, screaming and the appearance of many weird individuals as well as some exorcism-like episodes.” A staff member says exorcisms were common.

The first exorcism was in Tiruvannamalai around 2011 or 2012. It was a Spanish woman who came in and started to scream on his lap. She was possessed according to Mooji. That night we were there all night, and he was trying to get the spirit to leave her, but it refused to leave her. And then later on a little girl was possessed with many demons according to Mooji.

She said people with mental illness started to regularly show up and Mooji would tell them they were possessed with demons. People would have voices in their head and other symptoms, and he believed they were possessed. A former member says, “There was a lot of indoctrination occurring like naming ceremonies and women would have their heads shaved by him. There were some very strange, bizarre things going on. It felt very unhealthy to me.”

The staff member who witnessed the exorcisms said Mooji cut her hair and another woman’s hair against their will. Some went along, but some did not want it. There were about 20-30 people in total who had their hair cut by Mooji that night. She described what happened:

I was like, ‘I don’t want my hair cut, I don’t want to do it.’ Mooji said, ‘No, no. It’s your turn, come on, come on.’ He ordered me to stand in front of him to get my hair cut, against my wishes. He would grab our hair and pull it up toward the ceiling, and then take the scissors and cut all the way across. It was a bad haircut. He did the same thing to another woman with very long hair. She was crouched against the wall saying ’no, no, no’ and he took the scissors and cut her hair against her will.

There are credible accounts of Mooji engaging sexually with female students. One long-time former disciple who left abruptly claims she had sex with Mooji secretly the entire time she was at Sahaja. Additionally, insiders say that Mooji is sleeping with the three young female disciples who live with him in the secluded gated area of the property. The follower who initially exposed Mooji stated he is telling young women, “this is their way to quicken their awakening and merge with God.” It is all happening under coercive mind control and an abusive environment. There are other women who have made themselves known too but are afraid to speak out publicly as well.

“He encourages dependence,” says one person who spent time at the Monte Sahaja ashram. She said it “seemed odd and inappropriate” the way he fuelled the worship of himself. “I couldn’t understand why he didn’t tell people to not do it. He would just lap it up. There were times when people were literally just physically hanging off of him.”

Former members speaking out claim people are isolated in rural Portugal, thousands of miles from their homes, and are under very intense and coercive mind control. It is a highly regulated and abusive environment centered on absolute devotion to Mooji. Members literally believe he is God. “They sound like him, he speaks through them. It’s creepy. It’s almost like they’ve been taken over by him, like he’s possessed them.”

Just one look, one glance, one touch, one word from Mooji can transform your whole life.

Mooji also eats meat including cow and has been married twice in a traditional Hindu marriage by a Hindu priest in a temple in India within 2 years of each other. And he ended both relationships without dissolving the previous marriage which technically makes him a bigamist legally. A source who is Hindu explains. “Most Hindu traditions are vegetarian and no temple or ashram serves meat. By eating cow meat, and doing two Hindu weddings without respecting its legality and sacredness, they aren’t promoting Hindu philosophy. They’re ruining its traditional beauty.”

When I see Mooji from these eyes now, I don’t feel like I’m following a man. I feel like I’m following the embodiment of the Christ mind, of the one Braham, God mind.

Mooji now sits at the top of the self-made guru game. He has 52 million views on Youtube, 70,000 Instagram followers, and 380,000 likes on Facebook. His talks are live-streamed and he runs a membership site with exclusive content. He’s made millions, has a book published on Sounds True and has hundreds of thousands of followers around the world. People line the streets to get a chance to see or touch him and massive crowds come to see him speak. He is one of the most worshiped and sought after spiritual teachers of our time.

We may think how cruel the Master is being, but the Master always knows best.

In January 2019 a former staff member in his ashram and follower posted a video called “The Real Mooji Exposed” on Facebook. She had reached out to someone and got first-hand knowledge of what was happening at the ashram. She publicly called out Mooji and alluded that he was having sex with young students.

What you’re doing, that you know is wrong to young women, all under the guise of spirituality and being a spiritual master, telling them this is their way to quicken their awakening and merge with God. Shame on you. It is a blatant misuse of power and it’s wrong.

She said that she wasn’t one of those girls who could be manipulated or silenced. She said “every single one of my fears was confirmed today” and describes it as “devastating news” as Mooji was her spiritual master. The video caused a stir, garnering over 14,000 views. Mooji responded publicly in a Facebook video that has been viewed almost 60,000 times. A longtime Mooji disciple and Monte Sahaja staff member was one of many who defended their beloved teacher in the comments of the video:

Moojibaba is impeccable in all aspects of his life and so is Monte Sahaja a pure reflection of the Master’s purity and God’s Grace, for the miracle of awakening happens here. When we go to rest at night I see the Master rushing off to work on yet another project that is to benefit humanity…The Master doesn’t ever think of himself. For myself I am eternally grateful for knowing Moojibaba, for he has taken me from a kind of death to real life. Through his pointings my eyes were cleaned from the distortions of human thinking that produce the kind of unfounded lies that we encounter in [the] video.

Another devotee’s comment:

He is not a person, how can you doubt?

A former senior staff member who spent many years close to Mooji said he has a fetish for “young, hot girls.” She described a pattern of Mooji cheating on his girlfriend and then dumping her for a younger, more attractive woman who was a student. She said it left the women completely devastated and in tears. One girlfriend “was laying there sobbing on the bed, a complete mess, and no one helped her.” She asked her “Why are you crying?” She said “he left me. Mooji left me.” And then the girlfriend would be out of the group or sidelined.

Krishnabai arrived at the age of 20 and quickly became enamored with Mooji. She said the first time she saw him on stage she was filled with love, joy, and light. She then became a dedicated personal assistant. Krishnabai says she lives in a state of “complete devotion” to Mooji. She claims Mooji has the rare ability to reflect the pure self and is God. Mooji is currently 65 and she is now 27.

There has been several relationships described in which Mooji paired people together or broke them up. “He has broken up so many couples. He wants people to follow him and is obsessed with everyone looking at him.” Mooji would give impassioned speeches to people about how good a person was for another group member and how great they’d be together. To break up couples he’d tell one of the partners how incompatible they were with the other partner and dissuade them from being together. He always did this one-on-one, not when the couple was with him.

Insiders say Krishnabai along with two other female disciples live in Mooji’s private and gated area of the property. They say Mooji is sleeping with them. They are also responsible for dressing and undressing him each day. And these disciples rarely leave the gated area, not even to eat with the group much sources say. A former senior staff member refers to these women as Mooji’s “concubine.” A person who lived at Sahaja said that one of these women has been abused by Mooji. “He treats her like absolute shit. I felt like she was trapped. I knew that she had been screamed at and yelled at.”

A former staff member described how Mooji broke up her and her husband. At first, she was close with Mooji and he never liked having her husband around when they would be working together. When she and her husband couldn’t both afford to go to India they decided that he would go. Mooji resented her for this she said. When Mooji and her husband returned they were very close and she had been pushed out. And then her husband moved to Portugal and Mooji would not allow her to move there. He intervened in her relationship and separated them. One day she got a call from him saying that he was dating a Mooji disciple.

I told Krishnabai, ‘I know Mooji is God.’ She said, ‘That’s good you know that. Most people just think he’s very wise.

Former members say any criticism or challenge to Mooji or his orders is dismissed as “mind.” One says “You stop questioning anything.” And for members who do act out, Mooji has designated a place to serve as an isolation building. They will receive only one meal a day and learn to “know the self.” A strict code of silence is enforced 24/7 all year round at the Monte Sahaja ashram, aside from work-related needs.

Followers are conditioned to march immediately. It’s not natural behavior to scramble like rats to give him what he needs.

Former members say this leads to isolation and psychological distress. It’s how he prevents people from connecting to each other and their own selves, they say. Members used to be able to talk during meals but Mooji even ordered that to stop because “he didn’t want to hear everyone chatting.” A former volunteer said “You can’t talk to anyone. You are never to speak of your history, your life, or anything. You are never, ever supposed to talk about your experience with anyone.”

When you are living with a master who is in front of you, the very presence is there, it confronts you about things, challenges your perceptions, loves you, beats you, lifts you up.

Students are taught that the mind is “poison” and to relentlessly attack their own thoughts. When this happens in an environment of social isolation and silence with long work days, where there is no emotional support, heavy mind control and when Mooji is abusing them it is a recipe for disaster former members say. One former staff member said the gaslighting was frequent.

Mooji controls people’s behavior regularly. As one example, a former staff member of many years said that in Mooji’s pre-Monte Sahaja days he coerced all the vegetarians in the group to eat meat. Even an Indian couple who were vegetarian since birth began eating meat under Mooji’s influence. One former staff member said she would have done anything Mooji asked because she thought she was serving God.

He is nothing more than a psychopathic, narcissistic mental abuser and con artist out to make money off the backs of broken people.

Mooji ordered his team to stay on watch 24/7 all night to prevent a heron from eating fish out of his pond. It was a mother trying to feed her babies. When that didn’t work he ordered the heron shot and it was. Some want to leave the group but can’t because of group pressure, coercion by Mooji, fear of permanent exile from their friends or financial hardship due to commitments to the group. One person who spent a lot of time at Monte Sahaja explains, “I know a lot of people there who are afraid to leave him and afraid to come out and tell what is really happening there. I have begged some of them to leave but they are deeply afraid of him.”

When two members, Florentin (Flo) Camoin and Helen Kelby, committed suicide in 2017 it was not surprising to some who know what’s actually going on in Mooji’s communities. Flo died at Monte Sahaja and Helen died in India. One resident who knew Flo acknowledges the ways in which Mooji’s teachings and the culture at Monte Sahaja contributed to his death:

He had no voice for his deep needs and troubles. He needed to be ‘seen’ first as a person before annihilating his identity. He said to a sangha member here that ‘in his life he has never been seen.’ Maybe he needed a subtle ego boost and nourished the ‘spiritual person’ first before cutting off his head. A platform for this must be created to make sure it never happens again.

There is no emotional support at Monte Sahaja. Anything wrong is just your “mind.” So, you can imagine if someone was struggling at all and then forced to remain silent and keep their problems within.
