Is this what the sex scandals are about--encouraging wealthy members to leave their spouse as a way of gaining control of someone's money, or is there harassment of single members, as well? Is it mainly about money, or is it sometimes just about sex, or sex as a path to mind control?
I'm asking, as a potential way to get a window on what might be going on in the new Tibetan Buddhist circles in parts of Russia. I've been told that Russian women would never be so naive as to fall for the come-ons of spiritual leaders, but I think that in the spiritual realm, all bets are off. You never know. And Russian culture/mentality can be very open to mystical traditions, which can spell a certain degree of vulnerability, possibly.
