The NKT is giving westerners access to the very deepest practices of the Mahayana Dharma in a way which is accessible, easy to understand and more in touch with the western mentality. I have been on the fringes of the NKT since its inception and the benefit to me personally has been immeasurable. In my humble opinion, It would be a serious mistake to take on board the misguided personal opinions presented in this video.

I urge anyone to go to a NKT gathering,the first thing you'll be asked for is money,the last time I went it was £8,as a minimum wage worker I just couldn't afford it,I went two or three times and just had to stop,when I lived in Brighton I used to go there regularly I was disappointed with the cost but went never the less, one day I turned up and they had installed a coffee machine and were selling lattes and cappuccinos for £2:50 a go, I left after that,having realised its just another business,but looking at the enormous wealth the NKT must have it cannot possibly have come from meditation classes,they have temples all over the world and several large centres in the UK,.one surely had to ask where the money for all this comes from,? And who and why would someone try and turn people against the Dali lama,....the Chinese have systematically raped Tibet since the invasion,they want to install their own Dali lama that'll do their bidding and submit to their rule,the true 14th Dali lama Tenzin Gyatso stands in the way of a complete Chinese takeover of Tibet,he's a thorn in the side of the Chinese...just remember this all you spoonfed gullible fools,when you go and attend a protest defaming the Dali lama...long live HH a true dharma protector and the protector of the peoples of Tibet
As all NKT centres are charities you can see the accounts of any of them on the charities commission website as well as the NKT's accounts itself. From these accounts you can clearly see where there money comes from and goes to, it is listed and itemised in detail. It doesn't take much investigation to show that your accusation of Chinese funding is false!
+strake750 Have you met the DL personally - have you had teachings from him? (I have by the way) What do you base your statement on that he is a true protector of the Dharma and the Tibetan people? Many many Tibetans have been dealt a crushing blow from his stance on the practice of Dorje Shugden and have been marginalised, ostracised and disciminalised against by it. I doubt they would share your views. Its okay for you if you follow the dictatorial stance of the DL on Shudgden but if you do not you will receive no compassion or equanimity from him and neither will you be permitted to receive the "wisdom" of his teaching - now call me old fashioned but that just aint very Buddhist of him is it ?
+Graham Porter I doubt you know very much about how the inner workings of Tibet and how the Tibetan people practise Buddhism,you Base everything you claim to know on what you've been told by members of the NKT
+strake750 is 2.59 expensive for a latte or cappuccino ? sounds about right,, i don't really know as i don't drink designer coffee The Dalai Lama is nothing but a globalist patsy 'yes man' for the NWO.
Don't get yourself into serious debt because of the NKT Cult. Whether Monetary, Savings, Loans, Credit Cards, Finance or Underwriting. Your being deliberately taken for a ride, and scammed.
I read Caroles' info-buddhism.com/Guru-Life-New-Kadampa-Tradition-Buddhism-Carol_McQuire.html - I have only listened to parts of this video. I feel it was brave for Carole to put this all out there - I appreciate her straight-forward honesty in what I have absorbed. I have no further intention of trying to understand more of the Dorje Shugden (DS) debate (which I have been trying to grapple with based on documents handed out at recent HHDL events) - as it seems to be a largely a mundane distraction. As unfortunately are the protests of NKT'ers at HHDL talks. If practise of DS is so important then just get on with it DS'ers - I hope it helps your next rebirth .- at the end of all of this, all dharma practise needs to be viewed in the Buddhist context of dependent arising and its synonym Emptiness.
I have every respect for His Holiness the Dalai Lama and I regard the NKT as abhorrent in the way in which they attempt to discredit his good name. It is NOT Buddhist behavior to defame an individual in the way they attempted to with His Holiness. The demonstrations against him are little more than harrasment.
I have been a NKT practitioner for nearly ten years. I have never been asked for money. My Guru is Geshla. His guru is Manjushri, the same root guru as the Dali Lama. No NKT teacher is ever paid. If you are seeking merit for the sake of merit you may have missed the teaching on Bodhisattva! We strive to find happiness in our everyday life despite obstacles. Helping others and being compassionate is the core of my practice. I expect nothing in return, ever. I believe this speaker spent too much time chasing a dream. If she had a clear view of emptiness she would not be so attached to the outcome. Who promises enlightenment anyway? Lol Our practice is our life. Our journey is our practice. Nothing to see here but the appearance of self grasping.
+Erin Wolfe Nothing to read here but empty platitudes. You clearly haven't bothered to actually listen to what Carol is saying. Why not actually make some thoughtful comments on the points she is making instead of just sweeping it all aside with a response coloured by your own self-grasping attachment to your false tradition and its blind alley of devotion to a practice which is harmful to genuine spiritual growth? As for your question about who promises enlightenment - well, you know full well that enlightenment in this lifetime is indeed what your false guru promises, in three years, three months, three weeks and three days via the "Quick Path" of Highest Yoga Tantra - peddled to all and any naive newbies who happens along to an NKT summer festival, where the practices are irresponsibly dished out to all comers, with no concern as to whether they are ready to engage in them.
Hard not to feel sorry for this lady, clearly sincere in her views, but so many thousands of normal everyday people get benefit from the teachings, practices and friendship found throughout the NKT, just come along and observe with an open mind, that's all it takes.
Many have benefitted and many have been harmed. the victims of sexual abuse alone are enough to question the entity. It is a dark spot on the Buddhist tradition. Selling holy dharma is not pure practice.
NKT is NOT part of the Buddhist tradition, if anything it is a quango set up as part of the international propaganda machine that the chinese communist government imposes on the world
I was introduced to Buddha teachings in 2015 my mother introduced me to Dalai Lama before she died in 2006 I have never experienced any of what she's talking about no one's ever asked me for any money or try to control my beliefs in any way I have been to numerous a festivals upstate New York and they have gone very well I have been to Buddha teachings in New York and in Los Angeles as a matter of fact I'm planning to spend New Years with them I don't believe in joining Colts or being controlled by any group of people or giving away any of the money I don't have to begin with so I don't know what she's talking about I think she might have lost a few screws on the way she might have to look under her bed and find the rest of her marbles
Nkt is a Very Dangerous Cult. Please Watch *'An Unholy Row' BBC Documentary,* on many sites across the web. About this Fraudster Cult leader Kelsang Gyatso & the Nkt.
Thank you, Carol and Justin, for critically examining the dangerous and misleading actions of the Dalai Lama and supporting these important demonstrations with your video clip. It was about time the public finds out that there are Buddhist worldwide who have the guts to stand up to his so-called Holiness, questioning and denouncing the abuse of power that is being done to countless human beings in the name of Dharma, mainly in parts of the world the West didn't know about. What degenerate times, so sad! Thank you for your support.

Genla Samden. Enough said. 👍

What this Lady is talking is very accurate, spot on. The nkt treated me like crap, just want your money & free labour.
KEEP WELL AWAY.
Authoritarian cult

Where is Kelsang Gyatso?
At his disciples heart
He is death since more than 4 years now they are trying to keep secret not to lose their business

Fake Geshe Kelsang Gyatso has never received a Geshe qualification, and was expelled from his monastery (Sera Je) due to claiming that he was a Geshe

How much you pay for it, jackass?

NKT are not Buddhists as they practice anger and attachment. Full stop
