"... 'maximum' on the Group Psychological Abuse Scale, characterized by absolutely indefensible misbehavior and violation of the common vows of Vajrayana Buddhism. ... represents a clear and present danger to its membership, and to society at large. ...
... characterized by fundamental deceptions, requiring ever-escalating deception on the part of leaders and members in order to maintain secrecy. ... absurd claims to infallible divinity, and morbid preoccupation with the outward signs and trappings of status.
None of them can pass the Trungpa test."
