lightning,
It is suggested that we should not continue on that which I agree, as the posts by tk has been modified repeatedly so actually months later it lost the original favor of his tone(and what he said in some sense) during the discussion...now after the filtering you only see me 'continue slandering''...
I repeat, "As far as it is fact, you can praise 'XX Rinpoche did a good job! ' in this forum right? And by same criteria of based on fact, especially based on public information, what's wrong with the commet ' hey there is YZ news about this Rinpoche also' ?"
May I say below again?
- The scandal happened in 1992, it is always be on top of the google search if you type
?? (his Chinese name). This is not a secret in the Chinese Tibetan Buddhism society. You just try it out if you want to verify it. And I do have friend who had been close to him (he was the first few who brought Gelukpa teachings to Taiwan btw), anyway for obvious reason I won't tell you any more than that but only make use of public information, which is the appropriate way for open discussion in any public forum like here.
If you agree that there was a Police report from which he admitted to have sex with this girl, there is no dispute.
- you and actually all admitted he form the green lineage, right? Did you agree he also appoint a number of tulkus under name of Atisha mind re-incarnation, Atisha body re-incarnation etc.? If yes, there is no dispute on that also.
- we both agree that he is rich and is sponsoring a lot monasteries, right? If yes, there is no dispute on that.
Back to these 3 points which can be verified as valid or not in the public, but not others, that’s why I keep on repeating these again and again as you guys keep on diverting from it(but un-fortunately that kind of respond was viewed as "çontinue slandering''). Other than that I have no interested to comment on whether he is a saint or be a corrupted teacher, and the motivation behind his behavior. However, I don't think merely quoting 'lamrim' as our guide in selecting guru would be an in-appropriate behavior here.
I suppose we should stop here...
