No one should believe that you can only advance on a spiritual path when you follow the instructions of a teacher.

But connecting with our real nature should lead to freedom. If organizations are only serving the teacher instead of being helpful to realize our real nature, then they are sectarian Organizations with a big spider in the middle. As well words like "his Holiness" or "his eminence"" are outdated and should be eliminated from Buddhism. If a Buddhist Teacher is not a monk, then it should be possible for him to have sexual relationships. But only on the level of equality and not from the place of a spiritual authority like Sogyal has done
Tibetan and now even other lineages of Buddhism are based on the hierarchy of gurus and gurus of gurus of gurus... I don't remember reading anything about the need for keeping some lineages and hierarchies, during Buddha's time, though. Buddha was sleeping on the floor like his followers. Are there descriptions of Buddha seated on thrones in literature? There are on pictures, yes, but that is not history.
life is difficult / suffering, but if you have less expectation or no expectation in all sense of direction, your life will be more beautiful and feel better. Less EXPECTATION AND MORE WISDOM, you will be the happiest.
@@roastmaster2000 🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 So we all can see, what "sweethearts" are doing . . . my EX used 2 b a "sweetheart" too - til divorce. And THEN here TRUE face came out - and it was an UGLY one . . .
As a Buddhist monk,Sogyal Rimpoche clearly knew he was not following the 3rd precept ,yet he carried on abusing these women for his own sexual gratification using the excuse of Self realisation for these women if they obeyed him. Its a great pity he was not willing to practice the basic Buddhist teaching, he was not a monk, he was a self appointed leader of a sect,who lived by double standards, he was no better than an ordinary worldly person who has no interest in spirituality, at least they have an excuse to do whatever they like within the law. Buddhist monks should have the utmost control over their minds, what good are the teachings they advise everyone to follow if they don't work for someone who is supposed to be a serious teacher of truth? empty words. I spent a small fortune on Rigpa tapes ,books and videos in the 90's ,they have all been disposed of. Its not just Buddhist teachers, its priests of all faiths that regularly pop up as hypocrites and perverts...no wonder people turn away from religion. Who can we trust?
No one else is living your life so the person to deepen and trust in is your own self. No one else is you! Your own connection to the divine doesn't need a middle man or someone else to bow down to.
In the Gospel, masters like Sogyal Rinpoche are succinctly called false prophets: if the word is at odds with the deed, if he teaches one thing and does another, you need to recognize him as a hypocrite and a false teacher, and not mumble about a misunderstanding.
Very interesting. The key to me as a Buddhist from another tradition, is that there needs to be asked where is the compassion in all of this?, that is, compassion either for the very real victims of the sexual abuse or for the lamas. The idea that the Lamas are to be put on a pedestal is definitely at variance with Buddha's essential spirit and yet to lower the Lama's down in order to debase them is also certainly at variance with the Buddha's teachings. The truth is we must transform our hearts and minds so that we are living Buddhas not followers of others and so that we can transform our world one step at a time.
Everybody has missed the essence of knowing your own mind ..... there is a great episode on "orange is the new black " where the inmates begin to elevate another to make her like a guru because they need to believe she has the ability to save them and transform them. Sogyal is responsible for his own behaviour but in the balance you will find that many of his students got the wisdom sooner than others. Have never felt the need to be a devotee of anyone who is an adult. Having listened to his teachings for over 20 years and other gurus they all say they are human..... even the Dalai Lama.
I am a huge fan of DL and I live for the dharma and think the world needs it. But I got 'approached' by Sogyal myself years ago, felt very uncomfortable and got away. I do question why so many of the high lamas (including DL) have been to Lerab Ling more than once (one would take that as outright support of him)? I have been groped also by the DL's close attendant (who now has centers in the eastern USA) and the DL's elderly long term cook, both in the DL compound. When I reported the assaults they just seemed baffled why I would complain. In this purification age, it also seems Tibetan Buddhism needs purification of the misogyny and culture, and the obsession with 'crazy wisdom'. Then we can save the dharma (given that is the priority). I have even heard Rinpoches say that perhaps it will be western women who will mostly save the dharma on this planet. My understanding is that if your 'teacher' breaks his vows or samaya, you have no worries about your own vows to them. ps - Try suggesting to a lot of tibetan men that the next DL might be a woman :)
It is good and necessary to ask questions. And hear openly yet clearly the response, either avoiding you or caring for the truth, which is dharma. Forget the decor of the experience. Stay with the pure resonance.
In Vajrayana point. its very important, always maintain pure perception, practice on clear view! even they are highly Lama or lay person... OM AHA HUNG!
i agree but i know the lamas high lamas have known about these rumours for years and there are other so called high lamas who are not following the teachings , what of the poor ladies who are damaged and suffering now , bully lama are not rare i know the dalai lama speaks the truth ,
Despite you guys defaming him with bad words, we can't underestimate the nature of our Buddhist spiritual master. Things are beyond reasons. Some may act fool, cool, normal, mad, happy/unhappy, lovable, angry, etc and some gurus even show their penis in the public. Still the things are beyond reasons. I am neither his supporter nor his follower. I am still supporting you guys with some better rationales. Love form Bhutan. Thanks a lot!
His holiness described himself as a simple buddhist monk... How do you expect his holiness to know everything from 2012 when there wasn't anyone who informed him...sogyal student can decide about what's right or wrong... Why haven't they know the reality of buddhism... Buddhism is not about sogyal but its about the way of changing oneself towards positive...i really don't understand some people trying to blame his holiness here...you really need to think carefully before saying anything
Sogyal was not a monk. He was a layman. Please don't make that mistake. Remember that Jesus said there would arise many false teachers, but remember that there are also many false students, and many stupid people in general. Samsara is always full of the same old same old stuff. Why be so upset? "Even if the sun rises in the West, the Bodhisattva has only one path." ~ Suzuki Roshii. Keep your mind on what the Buddhas taught and make sure YOU don't goof up!
Sogyal was indeed a layman, and there's nothing wrong in itself in having sexual partners. What WAS wrong was a very long period of appalling abuse (sexual, violence, emotional abuse) of very many of his closer students. We should indeed be upset about this - and bring such matters into the light, so hopefully reducing the chances of future abuse by Buddhist teachers. A very real and significant problem.
i m afraid there is a lot of stuff going on behind the curtains in the tib. buddh. world,...its like katholic monasteries i reckon...or vatikan.... surpressed sexuality is no t good nowhere.....
I bow down to His Holiness Dalai Lama. Im glad HHDL has spoken about this issue. Anyway retribution and karma is real. Sogyal is dead. We should continue practising.
I hope it will not become a shame for buddhism, also it has nothing to do with Buddhas pure teachings, the dharma. But we should see that a real high Rinpoche and very good teacher as Sogyal is only a human being and that also developed practioniers have to check the samsara every Moment and to check their motivations and Actions. It doesnt mean that if all the investigastions against Sogyal are right that he has to pay the Price for it, and like the DL say, check every Moment everything.
Kyabjé Künzang Dorje Rinpoche just shook his head when asked about Sogyal Lakar. Then he looked out of the window and remained silent for a minute. It was evident that he found the mention of Sogyal Lakar distasteful. Kyabjé Künzang Dorje Rinpoche was born on a khandro day in 1930 in North Eastern Tibet, into a gö kar chang lo family lineage. He was recognised as the incarnation of Charong Drüpchen, by Dzigar Potrül Rinpoche. At the age of fifteen, he was sent to study at Gomang Gompa for seven years. He left at the age of twenty-two in order to become a wandering yogi. Kyabjé Düd’jom Rinpoche requested Kyabjé Künzang Dorje Rinpoche to lead rTsa rLung and gTummo retreats, and to write commentaries on the gTummo and sPrul‘khor. These commentaries are now incorporated into the Düd’jom gTérsar lineage." - instadoor.online/post/BXlpulXgLS8 "HH ’Khordong gTéchen Tulku Chhi’mèd Rig’dzin Rinpoche. Rinpoche told people quite candidly as far back as 1976 that Sogyal Lakar was not the incarnation of gTértön Sogyal. Rinpoche said that this man was merely the son of a fabulously wealthy trading family who bought he fame for him. He was brought up as a little prince and was sent to the most expensive school in India. He was later sent to Cambridge University before launching his career as a cult guru. Since then he has perpetrated sexual abuse, violent physical abuse, and financial exploitation for three decades. Fear of denouncing him is now over - as the Dalai Lama has spoken out against him" - instadoor.online/post/BXkMlG1AXW3
Yeah you got these quotes from doctor togden, a supposed lama himself, who calls his lineage 'aroter'. But the main thing here I want to say is that doctor togden said he would be available for anyone from the Rigpa sangha, who needs help or wants to talk! The thing that I find hilarious is that those who've turned from Rigpa, have categorically stated that they wont have anything to do with this him and wouldn't even post doctor togden's statement on their websites, which are critical of SR. That says a lot!
all beings are subject to the same rukes of earth. enlightenment is very much somthing that you must always be on the true path with. vishnu is with me. may they all find peace. and righteousness for truth prevail.
its said that there over 100 girls involved in this abuse nobody believed them and there is other abuse by lamas i think there should be a support group for all who have suffered so many lamas knew of this treatment so many lamas use there power for there own benefit
There may well be evidence that i am an idiot,. Arent we all for spending so much time on this. My comments are not related to any ' evidence' about Sogyal Rinpoche but the lama on the throne whom i still do not agree is Neten Chokling Rinpoche.
Hi Phil, Here's a link to show when drupchens have taken place in lerab ling. This video was taken in 2013. If you scroll down on their link and go to the drupchen held in 2013, you'll see NCR's name there. www.rigpawiki.org/index.php?title=Drupchen Below you can get to the history of rigpa, go down to the bottom of the page and you'll see NCR on the throne. www.rigpa.org/rigpa-history-in-pictures/ If from this you aren't satisfied, then I ask you to do some online investigation as to who that master on the throne could have been! The year was 2013, the place was lerab ling, now it's over to you to prove it wasn't NCR. And I say this with a bit of humour, but you can't just keep looking at a grainy video and say it's not him. I was there and I know it was NCR. Over to you my friend.....
Articles on Buddhism-Controversy explain that Sogyal Lakar is not a monk, not ordained as a monk, but he simply liked to wear the lama dress (to get more followers, obvious).
Great White the robes he wears are not monks robes. They could be as easily a Japanese kimono. No, that is your interpretation from Western point of ignorance. HHD is wearing monks robes and says he is "just a monk" which I am only now getting considering his world position. That is not to say that Sogyal's choice of attire does not benefit a sense of otherwordliness and exotica for us Westerners which in itself could be a form of manipulation. I'd rather think it clever salesmanship. Can you imagine if he walked out in trak pants, t-shirt and runners. Not the same impact wouldn't you say.
The scandal may be related to the so-called Highest Yoga,which is tantric sex that is mentioned in Tibetan Buddhism and also mentioned by the Dalai Lama in one of his books.In Taoism, there is "Technique of the Bedroom"("fang zhong shu"in Mandarin),supposedly also a spiritual practice that involves coitus.Do serious Taoist practitioners such as those of the White Cloud Temple of China talk of it in their lectures to laity?I doubt so.Buddhists should ponder over the Highest Yoga,or other"sacred" sexual practices seemingly mentioned even by Tsongkapa,Padmasambhava in their writings,questioning if they can lead to Enlightenment.Did Lord Shakyamuni Buddha teach such things?It seems that even the Dalai Lama talks about "spiritual sex"in his book,seemingly saying that the practice of Highest Yoga is required for Enlightenment.Correct me if I am wrong on this.Besides criticising Sogyal,he ought to clarify the practice of the Highest Yoga,and ascertain to all Buddhists,once and for all,if it is Buddhism. Methinks anything even remotely pro-sexual cannot be Buddhist teaching,whether Theravada or Mahayana,especially so after I have read the Shurangama Sutra.The Shurangama Mantra contained in this Discourse is precisely meant to save Ananda from sexual violation by a prostitute,who employed a celestial incantation to lure Ananda.If one still has sexual desire,one is still in the Realm of Desire,above which is the Realm of Form,above which is the Realm of No-form.A Buddha transcends the Three Realms.How then can He be teaching"spiritual sex"as a practice to attain Enlightenment?Read the Shurangama Sutra carefully,even if others say it is a "low-class"Sutra or a fake Discourse.What is more important is the insights contained therein and whether they can bring one closer to Enlightenment.If someone tells you a certain Discourse is fake,ask him or her to explain,in detail,why it is so.He or she must carefully explain the substance of the discourse.Likewise the Dalai Lama should expound the Highest Yoga of Tibetan Buddhism.
I agree completely...and Shurangama Sutra isn't fake at all..its the truth.. Tibetan Buddhism is false sex cult that have nothing to do with Buddha Dharma
It is the responsibility of the students close to him to protect themselves. If they don’t like him they can walk away. The ones that stayed close, especially Joanne Baltad, who wrote the letter that went public, were ambitious political climbers, and in her case a pious church lady who shamed others. I was there.
What HHDL doesn’t say is that Sogyal Rinpoche brought him to the West for the first time in the 70’s. SR created the event for the famous San Jose, California Dzogchen teachings, among many others. HHDL wouldn’t be there talking if it weren’t for SR.
Unfortunately, so far, whatever we are pointing, it has got every thing ro do with power, and money Our wolrd is based on preaches deceprions,and manipulations. It is the matter of being fully programmed and play a game. Is there any need that some one come from far east to show us our parg!?
His Holiness Dalai Lama, "In His talk, made it very much clear that if any Lama or a Bhudhist Monk sexually abuse you, then just let it be public through any source of media, such as radio, newspaper, TV, etc., But, please, please, please do not abuse Bhudhist teachings for such non-sense misconduct of poorly enlightened Lamas or Bhudists Monks, who are exceptionally very very rare because 1% or even 5% ERROR always happen, even in science ! . . . . But, media is media . . . . They need always NEWS, NEWS, . . . . . , NEWS ! ! ! !
I completely agree that from an entirely self-interested, ego-driven point of view you can focus on the benefit you got and not care less if others suffered, as long as you got what you wanted. From a compassionate perspective, the suffering of others should be held above your personal satisfaction.
Of course a person can be helpful as well as harmful. Does that mean we should selfishly ignore the harm if we personally received benefit? whatnow727.wordpress.com/2018/08/28/sogyal-rinpoche-the-jimmy-saville-problem/
western students have been tricked by the word subjugation when its just the guru getting is way shame westerners flocked to the dharma to find the pure path like sheep to the hungry mouths of wolves now people are painting all the great good lamas with the same brush , temptation is stronger then philosophy it seems sogyal rinpoche is a great teacher amazing teacher , how sad i am to hear this , so sad for poor students who suffer shame big heads dont even care they hurt people shame on you to if you speak against you go to hell abusers i hope you read this then you know what i think of you
U people being a student of yor guru u know wel wat u r going to do pl dnt trap n make bad name of yor guru Lama karma is there whoever does it wil come back
HHDL says also : Lama disgrace isn't important.. As far as i understand HHDL's Teachings : Important is the Dharma (s)he teaches,so not his /her personal life, the honesty of the Sangha. Sogyal Rinpoche kept always Dharma on Top,and now very wisely goes into Retreat following the Advice of his own Teachers.:Seed of this western so-called politically correct isn't always the Way to go forward beyond our concepts is my personal little experieince. and that is, what counts! Training to widen-up my Compassion, letting-go Ego is such a complicated issue in the West and a real Challenge to face each One of us, to see the Result whether it makes me a better human or not. By the way, who permits to transcribe HHDl's Words someone namde, Sogyal Trust ??
Too little, too late. There is no excuse for the abuse of power. We don't need to follow lamas or the Buddha. We just need to follow the Dharma, the true natural law. The ancient Egyptians, who were wise in these matters, called it Ma'at, the natural balance. What goes around comes around as Sogyal is about to find out.
Question the teachings.. how else will you grow and learn who you are.. there is no clear path in life.. only the contemplation and you own justification why you where wrong or right
Sogyal Rinpoche was a great Teacher and a great Discpline master. The West dont Deserve him to call him such names and never even met him is just plane ignorant. His books especially the Tibetan book of Living and Dying was Amazing. I know many other Lamas falsely accused that have been Call many names such has a Womanizer rapist and thief and some of the students just flirts with the master to make them completely inlove with them until they are satisfied and leaves them. Dzongsar Khyentse and Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche was very close with Sogyal Rinpoche but runs aways when his own western students falsely accused of rape and abuse. Rigpa has basically removed him from his seat . Whats even more funny is that there have been many Gelugpa Geshe that have been Accused off sexual abuse or just abusive. But His Holiness The 14th Dalai lama leaves it has Gelugpa have been part of his lineage since the 1st Dalai lama who is the leader of the Gelug school. 🙏🏻Om mani padme hum
SHAME SHAME , YOU MR.DALAI LAMA HAD AT ONE POINT SUPPORTED SOGYAL TO THE FULLEST HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE THAT SOMETHING SO LARGE COULD HAVE HAPPENED UNDER YOUR NOSE ? THE PUBLIC SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND YOUR DECEPTIVE NATURE TOO !!!
His Holiness Dalai Lama once said, "Its the Western women who will ultimately save Dharma". . . . Please, please, please do not compare Devil like Sogyal Rinpoche, who's a rare and a great mistake being raised as Monk while he was still a devil, with Enlightened Human being like Dalai Lama ! . . . .
You are right Dalai Lama about the corruption of Sigyal Rimpoche, but, what about you.. you are still eating the meet of poor animal killed for the satisfaction of your tong. Buddhism is based on compassion for all living entities, including the animals.. Stop eating animals dear Dalai Lama, stop being a living contradiction; become at least vegetarian and non violent towards animals... then I will listen to you!!
ramterry Nowadays, vegetarians, supposedly claiming themselves as non-violent, are often more fanatic than those who are non-vegetarians. I wonder if there are any human who aren’t eating meat, directly or indirectly.
@@ramterry ah the "real buddhism" obviously has nothing to do with compassion then? That's just what "stupid idiots" must think.. and if thats the case, why not just eat meat as well as have total contempt for people.
dont use this unrest to cause unrest there are girls who have beeen abused as for judgment are you pure all we can do is make a choice not to be fooled again
After that fatty fall from grace,to can even admit Sogyal Lakar as his friend is truly noble of the Great Compassionate one HHDL is🙏...may you pls live long for Tibet your Holiness. China is your friend too😆
Then I propose: 1) to forbid physical punishment in all the Tibetan monasteries, including physical punishment for tulkus, because physical violence is against Dharma, 2) all Buddhist teachers must be monks or nuns, because if they happen to have sex with someone, this person might later accuse the teacher in raping. No violence + no sex = no problems.
Evgeny Buzyatov look into the history of catholicism and you will soon discover your last sentence No violence + no sex = no problems ...only works in theory.
Dalai Lama says that Sogyal is his good friend and supported Sogyal for years by visiting his centre in France and taking numerous photos with him. I guess Dalai Lama is not all knowing realizing what would happen he still visited many times? Seems people Dalai Lama trusts are not always reliable? Dalai Lama said that teachers like Sogyal should be confronted and if they don't change, they should be publicly humiliated and their faces put in newspapers. And futhermore Dalai Lama said Sogyal is his good friend (which I find strange). How can Dalai Lama be friends with someone who has done all the things Sogyal did? The point Dalai Lama said he should be exposed and in the media. Dzongsar Kyentse said we should not basically expose these people in the media because the issuue is bigger than just one person (Sogyal) as his punishment will be in vajra hell. By exposing him in the media like it was in the German newspaper it brings overall damage to Dharma because people lose respect for Buddhism and it's teachers. Here is Dzongsar Kyentse's view: www.buddhistdoor.net/news/dzongsar-khyentse-rinpoche-issues-public-statement-on-recent-criticism-of-sogyal-rinpoche The advice from Dalai Lama and Dzongsar Kyentse contradict each other sharply.
Adam Dawson in my opinion Dalai Lama said that so people know which not to follow by mistake for well being of other he might have said that. He always says religion is secondary level so he care other as same human being and want no more exploitation without unknowingly.
@Namgyal Kyorashar, The Dalai Lama should not say he is good friends with someone who has alleged molested, raped, groped and sexually seduced over 60 women. Sogyal may be a big lama, but he is not big anymore. He may be rich and famous but that will not protect him from the law. The Dalai Lama should not tell the world Sogyal is his good friend. Why is Dalai Lama good friends with someone who has committed so many alleged crimes and we will see more unfold. This does not make the Dalai Lama look good.
co nie przeszkadzało mu przez cale lat po tym jak wypłyneła prawda o Sogialu, wspierać tego grubego cwaniaka swoim autorytetem odwiedzjąc jego ośrodki i ściskając sie z nim Tybetańczycy to mistrzowie kłamstwa - odwracania kota ogonem i hipokryzji
See how many Buddhists praise Sogyal Lakar in their comments viewing his dancing to disco music of Michael Jackson played at rigpa temple : facebook.com/ugen.pels/posts/1636024083137548?fref=gc&hc_location=ufi
Sogyal Rinpoche is a great master and he will hardly harm other. Rinpoche aims to help other's and spread happiness, so please believe what Sogyal Rinpoche says. Rinpoche says from his heart. May peace prevail on Earth.
Tandin Peljor Yes despite all I think his statement of Rest in Natural Great Peace are genuine. Unfortunately his most senior Students have now openly criticised Sogyal and that is very damning and damaging.
No Michael, they weren't his most senior students. His most senior students are now in Lerab Ling, 900 of them. Yes, I would say 3 were pretty close to SR, but not one of them were his senior students. I know six of them and the two i don't know were his drivers in the USA. Hope this clarification is helpful for a bit of a balanced view.
No person who's been abused sexually can find peace within a long time. Also there a special hells for abusers who get their genitals teared out. What you say about that?
Lars Larsen When a person starts disgracing Dharma, let alone His Holiness the Dalai Lama, even the most common and simplest of Buddhist practitioner should not only just ‘interfere’ but oppose such such a person.
Do you even know what you are writing there??? Do u know who is HH he Dalai Lama....?? He is the pillar that held the Tibetan nation together even after all these years of Chinese oppression and hard times. He has not only been the DHARMA TEACHER but also like a parent to all the tibetans in this hard times. If you don't know much, just keep your mouth shut.
The public figure of Daila lama is very different to the real Tenzin..the truth is he has his own agenda..the chinese know the truth about him. He put Dudjorn in gaol because he wouldnt wear tibetan robe and follow his b.s.. he gets the world to love him..but soon people will know the truth about this old man...
Sogyal Rinpoche's book, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, gave me more Dharma. This Dalai Lama is causing schisms all over the world's sangha .. . . disrobe and imprison! How disgraceful he is to so many brilliant Dharma teachers. BAD karma for the poor Dalai Lama!
The most important thing in this speech and in my opinion is not to follow a lama or a guru without using ones own brain. No one should believe that you can only advance on a spiritual path when you follow the instructions of a teacher. One needs to find out if this instructions or advices are leading us to our own Buddha Nature. Only being devote and following the instructions of others makes as to slaves. But connecting with our real nature should lead to freedom. If organizations are only serving the teacher instead of being helpful to realize our real nature, then they are sectarian Organizations with a big spider in the middle. As well words like "his Holiness" or "his eminence"" are outdated and should be eliminated from Buddhism. If a Buddhist Teacher is not a monk, then it should be possible for him to have sexual relationships. But only on the level of equality and not from the place of a spiritual authority like Sogyal has done

I never said I was still in it.
You should have gotten more discussion after the groping incident but don't try to make Buddhism feminist. Start with Islam who needs it more.
Your response here is shameful and ugly. You are shaming yourself and your people.
It is good and necessary to ask questions. And hear openly yet clearly the response, either avoiding you or caring for the truth, which is dharma.
Forget the decor of the experience. Stay with the pure resonance.
Mother Meera said in her book: sexuality and spirituality are two different things
In Vajrayana point. its very important, always maintain pure perception, practice on clear view! even they are highly Lama or lay person... OM AHA HUNG!
Actually my self,I am by birth Buddhist, but there is big problems or controversy in reincarnation,because of property .
i agree but i know the lamas high lamas have known about these rumours for years and there are other so called high lamas who are not following the teachings , what of the poor ladies who are damaged and suffering now , bully lama are not rare i know the dalai lama speaks the truth ,
Long live his holiness Dalai Lama...you r te eyes of millions Tibetan people ...
Despite you guys defaming him with bad words, we can't underestimate the nature of our Buddhist spiritual master. Things are beyond reasons. Some may act fool, cool, normal, mad, happy/unhappy, lovable, angry, etc and some gurus even show their penis in the public. Still the things are beyond reasons. I am neither his supporter nor his follower. I am still supporting you guys with some better rationales. Love form Bhutan. Thanks a lot!
OUF that is truth and I saw it myself, the way of humiliating his young girlfriend in public until they cried that seems very ODD
His holiness described himself as a simple buddhist monk... How do you expect his holiness to know everything from 2012 when there wasn't anyone who informed him...sogyal student can decide about what's right or wrong... Why haven't they know the reality of buddhism... Buddhism is not about sogyal but its about the way of changing oneself towards positive...i really don't understand some people trying to blame his holiness here...you really need to think carefully before saying anything
Common sense advice that would serve practitioners, followers and leaders of all churches, sects and spiritual groups.
Sogyal was not a monk. He was a layman. Please don't make that mistake. Remember that Jesus said there would arise many false teachers, but remember that there are also many false students, and many stupid people in general. Samsara is always full of the same old same old stuff. Why be so upset? "Even if the sun rises in the West, the Bodhisattva has only one path." ~ Suzuki Roshii. Keep your mind on what the Buddhas taught and make sure YOU don't goof up!
Sogyal was indeed a layman, and there's nothing wrong in itself in having sexual partners. What WAS wrong was a very long period of appalling abuse (sexual, violence, emotional abuse) of very many of his closer students. We should indeed be upset about this - and bring such matters into the light, so hopefully reducing the chances of future abuse by Buddhist teachers. A very real and significant problem.

DALAI LAMA THE FACE OF TRUTH AND PEACE
I bow down to His Holiness Dalai Lama. Im glad HHDL has spoken about this issue. Anyway retribution and karma is real. Sogyal is dead. We should continue practising.
I think his point was that we should bow down to NO ONE!!
@@robwilliams2265 🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 you BET !!
I hope it will not become a shame for buddhism, also it has nothing to do with Buddhas pure teachings, the dharma. But we should see that a real high Rinpoche and very good teacher as Sogyal is only a human being and that also developed practioniers have to check the samsara every Moment and to check their motivations and Actions. It doesnt mean that if all the investigastions against Sogyal are right that he has to pay the Price for it, and like the DL say, check every Moment everything.
Kyabjé Künzang Dorje Rinpoche just shook his head when asked about Sogyal Lakar. Then he looked out of the window and remained silent for a minute. It was evident that he found the mention of Sogyal Lakar distasteful. Kyabjé Künzang Dorje Rinpoche was born on a khandro day in 1930 in North Eastern Tibet, into a gö kar chang lo family lineage. He was recognised as the incarnation of Charong Drüpchen, by Dzigar Potrül Rinpoche. At the age of fifteen, he was sent to study at Gomang Gompa for seven years. He left at the age of twenty-two in order to become a wandering yogi. Kyabjé Düd’jom Rinpoche requested Kyabjé Künzang Dorje Rinpoche to lead rTsa rLung and gTummo retreats, and to write commentaries on the gTummo and sPrul‘khor. These commentaries are now incorporated into the Düd’jom gTérsar lineage." - instadoor.online/post/BXlpulXgLS8
"HH ’Khordong gTéchen Tulku Chhi’mèd Rig’dzin Rinpoche. Rinpoche told people quite candidly as far back as 1976 that Sogyal Lakar was not the incarnation of gTértön Sogyal. Rinpoche said that this man was merely the son of a fabulously wealthy trading family who bought he fame for him. He was brought up as a little prince and was sent to the most expensive school in India. He was later sent to Cambridge University before launching his career as a cult guru. Since then he has perpetrated sexual abuse, violent physical abuse, and financial exploitation for three decades. Fear of denouncing him is now over - as the Dalai Lama has spoken out against him" - instadoor.online/post/BXkMlG1AXW3
Yeah you got these quotes from doctor togden, a supposed lama himself, who calls his lineage 'aroter'.
But the main thing here I want to say is that doctor togden said he would be available for anyone from the Rigpa sangha, who needs help or wants to talk!
The thing that I find hilarious is that those who've turned from Rigpa, have categorically stated that they wont have anything to do with this him and wouldn't even post doctor togden's statement on their websites, which are critical of SR. That says a lot!
all beings are subject to the same rukes of earth. enlightenment is very much somthing that you must always be on the true path with. vishnu is with me. may they all find peace. and righteousness for truth prevail.
So - be responsible for yourself! HHDL has still a great appreciation for Sogyal Rinpoche.
Why? HHDL quoted the Je Tsongkhapa's teaching of "Not the Guru, but the Dharma". The Kalama sutta mentions the same thing.
🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 thats EXATLY what Buddha taught !
its said that there over 100 girls involved in this abuse nobody believed them and there is other abuse by lamas i think there should be a support group for all who have suffered so many lamas knew of this treatment so many lamas use there power for there own benefit
There may well be evidence that i am an idiot,. Arent we all for spending so much time on this. My comments are not related to any ' evidence' about Sogyal Rinpoche but the lama on the throne whom i still do not agree is Neten Chokling Rinpoche.
O by the way where is the evidence that SR is a monk which is also what i asked?
Hi Phil,
Here's a link to show when drupchens have taken place in lerab ling. This video was taken in 2013. If you scroll down on their link and go to the drupchen held in 2013, you'll see NCR's name there.
www.rigpawiki.org/index.php?title=Drupchen
Below you can get to the history of rigpa, go down to the bottom of the page and you'll see NCR on the throne.
www.rigpa.org/rigpa-history-in-pictures/
If from this you aren't satisfied, then I ask you to do some online investigation as to who that master on the throne could have been! The year was 2013, the place was lerab ling, now it's over to you to prove it wasn't NCR. And I say this with a bit of humour, but you can't just keep looking at a grainy video and say it's not him.
I was there and I know it was NCR.
Over to you my friend.....
There is no evidence because he isn't a monk. He was when he was a child, but dis-robed before his 20's.
Articles on Buddhism-Controversy explain that Sogyal Lakar is not a monk, not ordained as a monk, but he simply liked to wear the lama dress (to get more followers, obvious).
Great White the robes he wears are not monks robes. They could be as easily a Japanese kimono. No, that is your interpretation from Western point of ignorance. HHD is wearing monks robes and says he is "just a monk" which I am only now getting considering his world position. That is not to say that Sogyal's choice of attire does not benefit a sense of otherwordliness and exotica for us Westerners which in itself could be a form of manipulation. I'd rather think it clever salesmanship. Can you imagine if he walked out in trak pants, t-shirt and runners. Not the same impact wouldn't you say.
The scandal may be related to the so-called Highest Yoga,which is tantric sex that is mentioned in Tibetan Buddhism and also mentioned by the Dalai Lama in one of his books.In Taoism, there is "Technique of the Bedroom"("fang zhong shu"in Mandarin),supposedly also a spiritual practice that involves coitus.Do serious Taoist practitioners such as those of the White Cloud Temple of China talk of it in their lectures to laity?I doubt so.Buddhists should ponder over the Highest Yoga,or other"sacred" sexual practices seemingly mentioned even by Tsongkapa,Padmasambhava in their writings,questioning if they can lead to Enlightenment.Did Lord Shakyamuni Buddha teach such things?It seems that even the Dalai Lama talks about "spiritual sex"in his book,seemingly saying that the practice of Highest Yoga is required for Enlightenment.Correct me if I am wrong on this.Besides criticising Sogyal,he ought to clarify the practice of the Highest Yoga,and ascertain to all Buddhists,once and for all,if it is Buddhism. Methinks anything even remotely pro-sexual cannot be Buddhist teaching,whether Theravada or Mahayana,especially so after I have read the Shurangama Sutra.The Shurangama Mantra contained in this Discourse is precisely meant to save Ananda from sexual violation by a prostitute,who employed a celestial incantation to lure Ananda.If one still has sexual desire,one is still in the Realm of Desire,above which is the Realm of Form,above which is the Realm of No-form.A Buddha transcends the Three Realms.How then can He be teaching"spiritual sex"as a practice to attain Enlightenment?Read the Shurangama Sutra carefully,even if others say it is a "low-class"Sutra or a fake Discourse.What is more important is the insights contained therein and whether they can bring one closer to Enlightenment.If someone tells you a certain Discourse is fake,ask him or her to explain,in detail,why it is so.He or she must carefully explain the substance of the discourse.Likewise the Dalai Lama should expound the Highest Yoga of Tibetan Buddhism.
I agree completely...and Shurangama Sutra isn't fake at all..its the truth..
Tibetan Buddhism is false sex cult that have nothing to do with Buddha Dharma
Plz westerner don't follow sogyal lama.. He is fraud and not lama.
Too late. You had to warn them some 10-20 years ago!
Great White I agree. Why have not the other Lamas come out if he wasn't genuine. Too many unanswered questions if what our friend says is true.
www.thepicta.com/media/1588671145208299018_3036451821
he is a human being ... as you see .... trying to follow buddhism as best as he can..
It is the responsibility of the students close to him to protect themselves. If they don’t like him they can walk away. The ones that stayed close, especially Joanne Baltad, who wrote the letter that went public, were ambitious political climbers, and in her case a pious church lady who shamed others. I was there.
What HHDL doesn’t say is that Sogyal Rinpoche brought him to the West for the first time in the 70’s. SR created the event for the famous San Jose, California Dzogchen teachings, among many others. HHDL wouldn’t be there talking if it weren’t for SR.

His Holiness Dalai Lama, "In His talk, made it very much clear that if any Lama or a Bhudhist Monk sexually abuse you, then just let it be public through any source of media, such as radio, newspaper, TV, etc., But, please, please, please do not abuse Bhudhist teachings for such non-sense misconduct of poorly enlightened Lamas or Bhudists Monks, who are exceptionally very very rare because 1% or even 5% ERROR always happen, even in science ! . . . . But, media is media . . . . They need always NEWS, NEWS, . . . . . , NEWS ! ! ! !
Every day of my life I use something invaluable that I learned from Sogyal Rinpoche. Not a day goes by that I don’t feel gratitude.
I completely agree that from an entirely self-interested, ego-driven point of view you can focus on the benefit you got and not care less if others suffered, as long as you got what you wanted. From a compassionate perspective, the suffering of others should be held above your personal satisfaction.
Of course a person can be helpful as well as harmful. Does that mean we should selfishly ignore the harm if we personally received benefit? whatnow727.wordpress.com/2018/08/28/sogyal-rinpoche-the-jimmy-saville-problem/

now people are painting all the great good lamas with the same brush , temptation is stronger then philosophy it seems sogyal rinpoche is a great teacher amazing teacher , how sad i am to hear this , so sad for poor students who suffer shame big heads dont even care they hurt people shame on you to if you speak against you go to hell abusers i hope you read this then you know what i think of you

@@wildfeuer in my eyes, all "church" people are fake . . .
HHDL says also : Lama disgrace isn't important.. As far as i understand HHDL's Teachings : Important is the Dharma (s)he teaches,so not his /her personal life, the honesty of the Sangha. Sogyal Rinpoche kept always Dharma on Top,and now very wisely goes into Retreat following the Advice of his own Teachers.:Seed of this western so-called politically correct isn't always the Way to go forward beyond our concepts is my personal little experieince. and that is, what counts! Training to widen-up my Compassion, letting-go Ego is such a complicated issue in the West and a real Challenge to face each One of us, to see the Result whether it makes me a better human or not. By the way, who permits to transcribe HHDl's Words someone namde, Sogyal Trust ??
Too little, too late. There is no excuse for the abuse of power. We don't need to follow lamas or the Buddha. We just need to follow the Dharma, the true natural law. The ancient Egyptians, who were wise in these matters, called it Ma'at, the natural balance. What goes around comes around as Sogyal is about to find out.
Question the teachings.. how else will you grow and learn who you are.. there is no clear path in life.. only the contemplation and you own justification why you where wrong or right
Follow the Vinaya rules set up for the monks.

Before the Dalai Lama talks about other teachers, he should stop hugging women and holding women's hands for long periods of time.
Sogyal Rinpoche was a great Teacher and a great Discpline master. The West dont Deserve him to call him such names and never even met him is just plane ignorant. His books especially the Tibetan book of Living and Dying was Amazing. I know many other Lamas falsely accused that have been Call many names such has a Womanizer rapist and thief and some of the students just flirts with the master to make them completely inlove with them until they are satisfied and leaves them. Dzongsar Khyentse and Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche was very close with Sogyal Rinpoche but runs aways when his own western students falsely accused of rape and abuse. Rigpa has basically removed him from his seat . Whats even more funny is that there have been many Gelugpa Geshe that have been Accused off sexual abuse or just abusive. But His Holiness The 14th Dalai lama leaves it has Gelugpa have been part of his lineage since the 1st Dalai lama who is the leader of the Gelug school. 🙏🏻Om mani padme hum

meditate on the meaning of the masters words within your wisdom mind. not ordinary judgemental mind.
His Holiness Dalai Lama once said, "Its the Western women who will ultimately save Dharma". . . . Please, please, please do not compare Devil like Sogyal Rinpoche, who's a rare and a great mistake being raised as Monk while he was still a devil, with Enlightened Human being like Dalai Lama ! . . . .
You are right Dalai Lama about the corruption of Sigyal Rimpoche, but, what about you.. you are still eating the meet of poor animal killed for the satisfaction of your tong. Buddhism is based on compassion for all living entities, including the animals.. Stop eating animals dear Dalai Lama, stop being a living contradiction; become at least vegetarian and non violent towards animals... then I will listen to you!!
ramterry Nowadays, vegetarians, supposedly claiming themselves as non-violent, are often more fanatic than those who are non-vegetarians. I wonder if there are any human who aren’t eating meat, directly or indirectly.
Millions, if not billions, of insects are killed in the production of vegetables so please get off your high horse
The Buddha ate meat. That's how he died. Food poisoning.

Then I propose: 1) to forbid physical punishment in all the Tibetan monasteries, including physical punishment for tulkus, because physical violence is against Dharma, 2) all Buddhist teachers must be monks or nuns, because if they happen to have sex with someone, this person might later accuse the teacher in raping. No violence + no sex = no problems.
Evgeny Buzyatov
look into the history of catholicism and you will soon discover your last sentence No violence + no sex = no problems ...only works in theory.
Yeah and elder monks should leave the little sweet tulkus alone in bed as well

Dalai Lama says that Sogyal is his good friend and supported Sogyal for years by visiting his centre in France and taking numerous photos with him. I guess Dalai Lama is not all knowing realizing what would happen he still visited many times? Seems people Dalai Lama trusts are not always reliable?
Dalai Lama said that teachers like Sogyal should be confronted and if they don't change, they should be publicly humiliated and their faces put in newspapers. And futhermore Dalai Lama said Sogyal is his good friend (which I find strange). How can Dalai Lama be friends with someone who has done all the things Sogyal did? The point Dalai Lama said he should be exposed and in the media.
Dzongsar Kyentse said we should not basically expose these people in the media because the issuue is bigger than just one person (Sogyal) as his punishment will be in vajra hell. By exposing him in the media like it was in the German newspaper it brings overall damage to Dharma because people lose respect for Buddhism and it's teachers. Here is Dzongsar Kyentse's view: www.buddhistdoor.net/news/dzongsar-khyentse-rinpoche-issues-public-statement-on-recent-criticism-of-sogyal-rinpoche
The advice from Dalai Lama and Dzongsar Kyentse contradict each other sharply.
Adam Dawson in my opinion Dalai Lama said that so people know which not to follow by mistake for well being of other he might have said that. He always says religion is secondary level so he care other as same human being and want no more exploitation without unknowingly.
@Namgyal Kyorashar, The Dalai Lama should not say he is good friends with someone who has alleged molested, raped, groped and sexually seduced over 60 women. Sogyal may be a big lama, but he is not big anymore. He may be rich and famous but that will not protect him from the law. The Dalai Lama should not tell the world Sogyal is his good friend. Why is Dalai Lama good friends with someone who has committed so many alleged crimes and we will see more unfold. This does not make the Dalai Lama look good.
Adam Dawson I don't think with one man disgraced the whole darma will spoiled if it's like this than there w

Sogyal Rinpoche is a great master and he will hardly harm other. Rinpoche aims to help other's and spread happiness, so please believe what Sogyal Rinpoche says. Rinpoche says from his heart. May peace prevail on Earth.
Tandin Peljor Yes despite all I think his statement of Rest in Natural Great Peace are genuine. Unfortunately his most senior Students have now openly criticised Sogyal and that is very damning and damaging.
No Michael, they weren't his most senior students. His most senior students are now in Lerab Ling, 900 of them.
Yes, I would say 3 were pretty close to SR, but not one of them were his senior students. I know six of them and the two i don't know were his drivers in the USA.
Hope this clarification is helpful for a bit of a balanced view.
