Another Shoe Drops of the Dozens by Western Tantric Inner Circle of 'Crazy Wisdom' Pedophiles in Shambhala International ( pizzagate )

Oh no, not the Buddhists too!!! Yes, the Buddhists.

First, Sakyong Mipham, the leader of Shambala International stepped down after accusation of sexual abuse. Sakyong's father being the crazy wisdom guy, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, who also loved women!

Now we find Bill Karelis, 71, arrested for sexual assault on a 13 year old girl. Bill was a teacher and leader at Shambala meditation retreats in Boulder, Colorado. This is yet another example of poor parenting, as the child was encouraged to be in a relationship with Bill because of their religious faith and trust in him. The abuse went on for years.

The sexual abuse in Tibetan Buddhist circles is rampant according to ex-Buddhist Christine Chandler. And sadly, the lamas and higher ups are protected by the devotees of this cult, many being women.

They claim they are not, but I think they were in the beginning when Trungpa Rinpoche was at the helm. IMO

Maybe not! They say they are not affiliated however, the very first book published by them was one of Chogyam Trungpa's.

Copying a comment by @Factfinder2 from this thread :

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/11/nyregion/shambhala-sexual-misconduct.html

"Late last month, a former Shambhala teacher released a report alleging that the Sakyong had sexually abused and exploited some of his most devoted female followers for years. Women quoted in the report wrote of drunken groping and forcefully extracted sexual favors. The report said that senior leaders at Shambhala — an organization whose motto is “Making Enlightened Society Possible” — knew of the Sakyong’s misconduct and covered it up."

…

"The woman behind the exposé, Andrea Winn, grew up in the Shambhala community in Halifax and says that she and many other children were sexually abused by adults in the community."

…

"The downfall of a Buddhist leader in the West accused of sexual impropriety has become its own sorry tradition. Last year, Lama Norlha Rinpoche, who founded a monastery in Wappingers Falls, N.Y., retired after allegations of sexual misconduct. So did Sogyal Rinpoche, author of “The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying,” who was accused of decades of sexual assaults and violent rage. In the Zen tradition, fallen masters include Joshu Sasaki and Eido Shimano, two of the leading proponents of Zen in America.

In Shambhala, bad behavior runs in the bloodline. The organization was founded by the Sakyong’s Tibet-born father, Chögyam Trungpa, a wildly charismatic man, brilliant teacher and embodiment of the concept known as “crazy wisdom” whose alcoholic exploits and womanizing were well known. He died in 1987. In between Chögyam Trungpa and the Sakyong, Shambhala was led by an American-born Buddhist who is mainly remembered for having sex with students even after he knew that he had AIDS."

“I was sexually abused throughout my childhood in the Shambhala community, as were most of the children…”
