Review of The Shadow
of the Dalai Lama by Chris Chandler
This is the
best research and the
best material ever written on
Tibetan
Buddhism
The Trimondis are those rare people that studied with a
lama, in this case the Dalai Lama, and woke up to who and what these lamas
are really about and left. After leaving they were determined to help other
people not be fooled by Tibetan Buddhism, by informing them, with their
vast research and documentation into the Kalachakra
Tantra and the real history, sociology-political
and religious history of Tibetan Buddhism and the lamas. They realized that
the Tibetan Tantrism of the lamas is a sexually
abusive and misogynistic, exploitative occult "religion" that,
for the Dalai Lama, it is about power and massively expanding his religio-political power, just as Lamaism did in Tibet
eventually creating the tyranny of a lama theocracy. Tibetan Buddhism is
about creating an Adi-Buddha world view.
My husband and I
did the same thing, left as a couple. I believe only couples usually leave
this cult of Hindu Tantra together, with few
exceptions, because they can support each other in the process. We know of
hundreds of people, some of them friends, that
will never come out, they have been so brain-washed by the lamas. After
thirty years as a practicing Tibetan Buddhist with many lamas, I can
confirm that what the Trimondis have written is
accurate and that what Tibetan Buddhists are really practicing is a form of
Hindu tantric guru-worship, not Buddhism, to allow a level of exploitation
and power in their Sanghas, by the lamas, in
order to recreate what they lost in Tibet. The Trimondi's
book is the scholarly documentation and research that provides
a "preponderance of evidence." of the Dalai Lama's ambitions
to create his Buddhocracy all over the world and
that he has had a very good start.
The Trimondi's have exhaustively documented their
thesis that Tibetan Buddhism is dangerous to western civilization, through
their deconstruction of the Kalachakra Wheel of
Time Tantra and by exposing the Tibetan lamas'
deep misogyny towards women, which I can affirm is 100% accurate. This is a
world of androgynous priests who share their power with no one except as
they can use them to promote their Adi Buddha
world while keeping their secrets of keeping harems of women inside their Sanghas for their tantric sexual practices, the essence
of their "religion."
It took me over three years, once out, to get my critical reasoning and
executive functions of planning and intelligent inquiry again, after being
with the lamas for so long. Very few people do come out. They are in a
subtle trance that the lamas have created through various teachings: too
much meditation, chanting, visualizations, etc. They don't leave because
soon their whole reference points are the lamas and their group, just as in
all cults. There are also the "fringe admirers," The Hollywood
celebrities etc. and western politicians and other Buddhists who, not
really knowing what goes on in these Sanghas,
think that Tibetan Buddhism is really Buddhism. It is not. It is Hindu
Tantric Vajrayana that after years of mantra
chanting meditation, then purification practices, then vows of obedience to
the lamas and then scaring us with terrible hell realms and consequences if
one so much as criticized their lamas have created a group of Western
enablers believing they will go to Rudra Hell if
they criticize the lamas or reveal their secrets. In Tibet, the lamas would
have just cut out your tongue or thrown you in a tied up gunny sack, in the
river and said "We didn't kill him, the river did!"
They have created thousands of Western Tibetan Buddhists, who are actually
in their thrall but who appear normal and articulate and well educated. In
the Lamas' tantric cult, Westerners lose the ability to know right from
wrong, and no longer know how to discriminate what is healthy or good for
them or in groups. Yet these Western Lamaists
present themselves as the cutting edge of "consciousness"
promoting a "new merging of science and religion" that they say
hold the "key to world happiness." They will hear no criticism of
Tibetan Buddhism or the Dalai Lama and will attack anyone who says anything
negative about the lamas. Just as they have vowed themselves to the Lamas
to never have bad thoughts about their lama or see any
"imperfections" in their gurus. They are taught any one critical
of Tibetan Buddhism or the Dalai lama is a heretic or a Maoist, (as one
negative reviewer suggested here [in amazon.com] about the Trimondis) or mentally ill and a danger to their
spiritual path. They are taught to shun people who are critical, thus
closing off any debate. Anyone critical of the lamas, their students are
taught, are a "danger to their own spiritual path and the harmony of
the group." This is a totalitarian religious view that is pretending
to the world that it is about freedom, openness and compassion.
They kept their own people enslaved with this guru worship for over a
thousand years through their masterful propaganda techniques, rituals and
theatre. They have already mentally programmed thousands of Tibetan
Buddhists in the West and throughout Asia, Africa and even China now. This
is the religious arm for the next Utopian Fascism for the World. The Corporatism
of Communist and the wealthy elite in China are now using the lamas to
create Han Buddhist hybrid vajra masters in China
to quell any nascent democratic leanings in the Motherland.
The Trimondi's extensive documentation of the
Dalai Lama's connections with Nazis and National Socialism and Fascism is a
book in itself and should make everyone stand up and take notice and
quickly.
The Dalai Lama's Mind and Life Institute, after fooling academics in the
U.S. under his tantric spell, has now taken his show on the road to Europe,
particularly to Germany. It is 1933 all over again in these halls of higher
learning, when the Vichy and the Berlin "intelligentsia" and the
Ivy Tower prestigious Universities here in the United States, were all in
for Hitler's Germany. The sister ivy's the "seven sisters" were
actually traveling to Germany in their junior years abroad on ships flying
the Nazi flag and then returning , telling their colleagues and fellow
students how wonderful Hitler's government was even though Kristallnacht had already occurred. It seems like the
intellectuals are always the first to gravitate toward an elitist
philosophy such as Tibetan Lamaism, to promote the next Utopian disaster.
This time a number of them have attached themselves to globalization,
corporatism and the Lamas, believing this will be the answer to the world's
problems.
The Trimondi's have documented the troubling
connections of the Dalai Lama with not just the Nazis, but also other
elements in society and persons, such as Asahara
who was a Japanese cult leader and tried to accelerate the Kalachakra prophecy, his inspiration for his sarin gas attack on a subway in Tokyo in 1995.
Dictators have always seen the uses of the Tibetan Lamas since days of the
Khans. The connections the Trimondis have made
and the documentation they provide, will leave no
one in any doubt that, by admiring the Dalai Lamas, one is in pretty scary
company.
It was Hindu Brahman Tantric Vajrayana that took
over the Buddhist teachings after the Buddha died. That is the
"Buddhism" that came to Tibet and was what these lamas were
practicing with each other, as they recognized each other as the God Kings
that ruled all over Tibet. Despotically. . That is why the Tibetan lamas
are on thrones, like Hindu gurus. Western Tibetan Buddhists become their
enablers, their promoters of their Adi-Buddha
world. Like Bob Thurman , another guru-worshiping Dalai Lamaist,
whom the Trimondi's have watched over the years
as he promotes these 11th century medievalists as the solution for all of
the world's problems.
Their ability to keep their students under their thumbs is truly masterful
in that people are not aware that that is what happening to them, It is
similar to Scientology except that most people see the dangers of
Scientology and many leave and try to warn others. Not so with Western
Tibetan Buddhists who believe that they are studying the highest form of
Buddhism as a path that will lead them forever out of "Samsara" they will then be able to help others by
promoting this so-called secular spiritual path,. They then become fanatic
true believers, who become shills for this tantric Vajrayana
to spread; true believers that cannot be reasoned with anymore. Tibetan
Lamaism is calling itself Buddhism, one of its many masks, knowing that
that this would disguise what it was from the public and it could 'blend
in' and be given legitimacy. It has borrowed many traditional teachings of
other Buddhisms but it considers those inferior
and only "preliminary" practices to their Tantric Vajrayana.
The Trimondi's exposed the occult of nature of
the Vajrayana that the Dalai lama is really
teaching and promoting as "Buddhism" They also spend considerable
time deconstructing the myth that Tibetan Buddhism is "gender
friendly" by exposing the true history of these Lamas and their views
on women which are so deeply misogynistic that any belief that the Dalai
Lama is telling truth that he is a "feminist" will be dispelled.
Tibetan Buddhism is not promoting equality and more sexual freedom for
women but is a highly sexually exploitative organization,
whose religious teachings reflect and justify the lamas misogyny and
promiscuous behaviors posing as "compassion" and
"blessings" for their students. This is nothing the historical
Buddha taught as the Trimondi's make clear to any
traditional Buddhist if they read this book.
Instead, Buddhists of other traditions are now being massively fooled by
the Dalai Lama and some have joined up with his Mind and Life Institute and
have become guru-worshipers themselves, like Sharon Salzberg,
Dan Goleman and Joseph Goldstein who are students
now of not only the Dalai Lama but the sexually abusive Sogyal
Rinpoche, when before they were strong activists,
calling out sexual abuse of the lamas. That is why they were targeted to be
flattered and inflated by the Dalai Lama, and brought on board the Mother
Ship. Now Goldstein, who is a Tibetan Tantrist
recommends, that the Three Streams, Hinayana,
Mahayana and Vajrayana join as One Stream of
Buddhism. They don't know that the lamas see everyone as heretics who don't
believe in their "diamond vehicle" and their plan is to absorb
all these other Buddhisms into their grand Adi-Buddha scheme. They have already started to do so.
The Trimondi's also go into the "Law of
Inversion" of the tantric Vajrayana of
Tibetan Buddhism, that gives permission and actually encourages the
breaking of social taboos which they use in their groups to justify all
kinds of egregious behavior by the lamas.
There is little that the Trimondi's have not covered
in this book and it is all documented and verified.
The Trimondi's work lays out the whole picture,
and connects the dots, like a vast, kaleidoscopic, putting all the pieces
of Tibetan Tantric history, its practices, its connections with elements of
fascism and totalitarianism and the dangers for western civilization
Tibetan Buddhism poses, if it continues to expand and to be the most
popular alternative. They have done a great service to the West. I only
hope that enough people start waking up to what these Lamas are up too, and
it is not "peace, love and harmony."
How peaceful and harmonious has the world become, since the Tibetan Lamas
and their "Buddhism" was unleashed from Tibet on the rest of the
world? How peaceful are the places where they have built most of their
centers? Tibetan Tantra is not about peace it is
about creating chaos , "orderly chaos"
as Trungpa used to call it.
The Trimondi's exposition on Lamaism and the Dalai Lama was
very helpful for me, in helping me come "all the way out" to see
clearly what the Tibetan lamas, all of them, are really teaching. and what
it has been connected to, over the centuries, and why it was always so
crazy-making inside these Sanghas as we were
being forced into a medieval mind set of misogynistic , sexually abusive
occult tantric priests, who are hell-bent on ruling the world with their
Tantric cosmology, just as they did in Tibet. This is NOT Buddhism.
Citation from the
acknowledgments of the book “Enthralled – The Guru Cult of Tibetan
Buddhism”:
American
Buddha online led me to the work of the intrepid German couple, Victor, and
Victoria Trimondi, who had been fooled by the
Dalai Lama. The Trimondis even helped publish
Dalai Lama books through their publishing company, Dianus
Trikont Verlag, that
organized the first meeting Dianus Trikont Verlag, that organized the first meeting Dianus
Trikont Verlag between
Francisco Varela and the Dalai Lama at an Alpbach-Austrian
conference in 1983, thus birthing the idea of the Mind and Life Institute.
They had helped him connect with many intellectuals in Germany, as well as
the President of Austria, Kirchschläger (1986).
As scholars and researchers, the Trimondis
discovered that the Dalai Lama was presenting something quite different
from what he really was: a leader of an occult priesthood, deeply androcentric and misogynistic, with apocalyptic visions
and global ambitions to create a Buddhocracy
throughout the world. This couple has continued, tirelessly, to warn people
about Tibetan ‘Buddhism’ by deconstructing the Dalai Lama’s Tibetan
Buddhist Kalachakra Wheel of Time Tantra, and documenting his connections with totalistic
and fascist admirers of his world; one ruled by God Kings and Lord Chakravartins. Their research and writings have been
indispensable as they provide a kaleidoscopic view that connects the dots
as a warning to Western civilization. It is sure to become an academic
treasure when the West comes out of its Shangri-La trance, as it is beginning
to do.
