Re: The Kingdom Collapse / Not-a-Fan Fiction
Historic Prelude: III. The Rebel’s Lost Cause The young lama stood before her out of uniform. Wearing blue jeans and a khaki shirt, he looked like he was getting ready to hang around the tourist hotels and fast-talk the hippies into a trip to Agra with a tour of the Red Fort and the Taj Mahal. “I a...

The Jester Has His Say, by Charles Carreon
The Jester Has His Say Way up high on his 10-ft throne Kalapa's King sits all alone. He times his breath with a metronome, Occasionally throws his subjects a bone, Scratches his rump and checks his phone. Perhaps his lawyers have texted him Perhaps the news has grown less grim Perhaps the exposes a...

Gurdjieff & Trungpa, Sarmoung Brother-Hoods
Gurdjieff & Trungpa, Sarmoung Brother-Hoods by Charles Carreon 7/12/19 The similarities between Gurdjieff & Chogyam Trungpa are too numerous to be ignored, and Trungpa's canny exploitation of Gurdjieff's legacy and disciples may lie at the heart of his success in attracting the entitled, elite cadr...

Re: The Kingdom Collapse / Not-a-Fan Fiction
HIstorical Prelude: II. The Lovers The housewives of Delhi were preparing supper amid the noise and clangor of the city. The noise was dominated by the puttering buzz of moto-taxis, pierced through with the occasional angry honk of a truck trying to push its way through traffic. The clear winter sk...

Re: The Kingdom Collapse / Not-a-Fan Fiction
Historic Prelude: I. The English Lesson The young monk put aside the tattered copy of Moby Dick he'd been reading, setting it on the bare concrete floor next to the folded blanket that provided his seat. It was midsummer in the hill-station in the Himalayan foothills, and the only coolness came fro...

Re: Shambhala Dodges Mandatory Reporting Duties That Expose it To Tort Damages in Boulder Child-sex Case
As noted above, Dennis Southward was a Desung who did a lot of classes on "The Desung Path," including teaching a class at Karme Choling in 2015. See screencaps below, taken to preserve the evidence, because Shambhala has already scrubbed Southward's name from virtually all of these pages, somethin...

Re: Buddhist Project Sunshine: A Pale Illumination Indeed
Shambhala is certainly not Vajrayana, and hiding the doctrines behind a veil of secrecy cannot conceal the shallowness of the Sakyong's doctrines. The "Scorpion Seal" is a blatant theft from the Nyingma guru, Dudjom Lingpa: On the morning of the first day of the sixth month, as soon as I awoke I saw...
