Survivors - please continue to come forward and bring light to the crimes that were committed! Police are taking them seriously.

An excellent, well-cited report put together by Dr. Michelle Haslam based on her and others' experiences within the New Kadampa Tradition. Many parallels with experiences within Shambhala

@nktsas thank you for sharing!

The first book about Sogyal Rinpoche and the Rigpa abuse scandal since the ex-students' letter was published, two years ago, will be available on 1st July, written by two people who have been following events closely, from different perspectives. Should be enlightening.
