I am supposed to take the refuge vow this weekend-this is the first time I have heard any of these allegations and I am horrified! I dont know what to do now…I was so ready and excited to take the vow and follow this path, but I dont know if I can follow the teachings of someone who lived such a hypocritical life.

I’m not certain where you are getting your info, however good topic. I needs to spend some time learning much more or figuring out more. Thank you for excellent information I was on the lookout for this information for my mission.

Somebody necessarily lend a hand to make seriously posts I might state. This is the very first time I frequented your web page and to this point? I surprised with the research you made to make this actual post incredible. Excellent activity!

All of us are here to learn and to grow, even a great teacher as Trungpa.

Would Trungpa care? I guess not. Then why would you? What is it that you devote your energy to? Memories of your own thoughts about thougts of athers about Trungpa??
Maybe there might be something better here and now.

[...] I didn’t like this at all, trust the English to put a damper on things. Good old Wikipedia was a little more life-affirming: “the quality of being modest, reverential, even politely [...]

too much talk, too little information. What is the problem with Trunpga and cocaine, or women? He was a man, for god's sake. A Mahasiddha, but a man! No dharma is affected, just listen to him.

I entered the Shambhala community about 10 years ago. At that time, I asked myself the same questions as Davee noted above . . . what does the founder's behavior say about this path? In truth, I continue to ask myself this question, but remain part of the Shambhala sangha because I have experienced many dedicated members of sangha to be examples of exceptional human beings and I strive to follow their example. I guess you could say that I have a baby and bath water approach to Shambhala. While I am committed to my meditation community, I remain skeptical about SOME of the actions of CTR. As Buddhists, we train to be capable of holding objectively divergent ideas/beliefs. The child in me wants someone to give me a credible explanation for CTR's behavior that is consistent with Buddhism, and particularly as it relates to his treatment of women. However, I know that no explanation will emerge. I don't know if I could ever adopt Tenzin Plamo's indifference towards CTR's behavior as was cited in the book, A Cave in the Snow. However, if I limit myself only to spiritual approaches that are without sexism, I would be left with little. Thus, baby and bathwater. ______

THIS IS TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED: WHO CARES ABOUT HIS 'SOCIAL' REPUTATION? MUCH MORE IMPORTANT: HOW CAN HIS EXPERIENCE HELP OTHER ADDICTS, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, TO 'MOVE TOWARD' LIBERATION?

MAY THIS BE OF HELP TO ALL BEINGS.
