Re: Fake Tibetan Buddhist Lamas - Do you know any "Wolves in Lama's Robes

Honestly, corboy, I don't quite understand her complaint. She wanted to blow the whistle on this guy, for what--transgressing his vows? Firstly, that's not unusual for a TB monk to do, so it's not surprising that nobody in authority cares. The monasteries often are surrounded with brothels, to serve monks who "jump the wall" at night.

Secondly, having sex regularly with a "consort" is part of the routine in some traditions. In fact, in some of the Kagyu monasteries in Ladakh, it's the custom to start teaching 17-year-old monks tantric sex by assigning to them post-menopausal women to practice with, until they perfect the seminal retention technique.

The complaint says the monk was Gelug, though, so live consort practice isn't part of the package; the tantras are done by visualization only. How strictly celibacy is enforced in those monasteries, I don't know, but the few Gelug monks/teachers I've come across have not shown the slightest interest in adheri8ng to their vows. There's also the custom of "thigh sex" that takes place between fellow monks in all the traditions, including the Gelug, so no one should assume that Tibetan monasticism is a disciplined tradition in that respect.
