i want to comment on a few other things in this missive. he suggests that vajrayanna teacher shave a samaya committment as well and if they breach it they suffer deep vajra hells. yikes, i think buddha forgot to mention vajra hells, but more importantly he says giving vajrayanna initiation without the full explaination is a breach of samaya by the teacher. well he did bot untill this letter give the full explainaton in seven years i went to his teachings. in fact he used to talk about the importance of teachers being ethical and responsible, and we used to never hear him talk about trungpa. he praised jetsun kushock, a great and ethical sakya teacher back before he went rogue.
he puts in the one paragraph blurt--checks and balances? what checks? this missive suggests there are no checks on a vajrayanna teacher. you have impure view if you see it that way. moreover he refers to tipola and naropa. well naropa and especially tilopa were renunciates. tungpa as a wealth power and sex hoarding greed driven man. most of out present vajryanna teachers are living in wealth power and comfort, with absolutely no renunciation.
the reference to liberals shows he doesn't know what a liberal is. he probably means obama and his drone program. onama is not a liberal. he's a neo con democrat, as is hrc. there aren't many actual liberals in the usa.
as i have already commented he things the fact that trungpa gulled shallow american middle class people is impressive. he got middle class hippies to dress like their parents. wow. back to their roots. not much of an achievement. he fails to mention that trungpa did not disabuse them of their class ethnic and racist bigotry.(which i found regularily when i had the misfortune to have to seal with trungpa people). that is the real leson about trungpa. he told them they are special. the oldest trick in the charlatan book.
the article palces no real obligation on the vajrayanna teacher and all the obligstions on the students. something buddha never did.
moreover he apointed instructor who are landmark education instructors? wtf? cult teachers, and instructors who show nothing but anger at any questions. so the culture is clear now. obey or go to hell. too bad he waited seven years to say this and has broken his own stated samaya committment for a vajrayanna teacher
