This goes with @migratorypatterns series on the NXIVM cult
Buddhist leader the Dalai Lama was linked to NXIVM, the controversial self-help organization described by former members as a 'sex cult'
He spoke at an event in Albany, New York, in 2009 and put a Tibetan scarf round the neck of its founder Keith Raniere in what was said to be a 'victory' for NXIVM
DailyMail.com can disclose the Dalai Lama was given $1 million to spend on causes he backs in return for attending the function
The deal to get him to go was made by Sara Bronfman, a billionaire heiress to the Seagram fortune, and Lama Tenzin Dhonden, head of the Dalal Lama's U.S trust
But Bronfman and Lama Tenzin face claims they were lovers, even though the Buddhist cleric took a vow of chastity
NVIVM hailed the Dalai Lama's visit but it is now being hit by claims founder Raniere runs it as a sex cult with a 'harem' of women
The women are branded, call him 'Vanguard' and believe that sleeping with Raniere, 57, will heal them, according to claims made about NXIVM
Raniere denies it is a sex cult but neither NXIVM or the Dalai Lama's office addressed the latest allegations
The Dalai Lama was paid $1 million to travel to America to endorse a controversial 'sex cult' that brainwashes and brands women

Sara Bronfman'a brother Edgar Bronfman Jnr has appeared on Voat before, net worth, $2.3 bil. Previous CEO of Warner Music Group.
Sara and Edgar's grandfather, founder of Seagram's Liquor, was once Canada's richest man. Edgar's son, Benjamin Brewer idiot hipster trust fund kid who 'dabbles' (lol) in music, has a young child with controversial/popular/influential British/Sri Lankan singer, MIA...(go get those billions, MIA, while you preach about poverty and corruption!)
MIA was the one who gave the one finger salute during the superbowl few years back when she was performing with Madonna. Important to know all these kinds of connections.

Anyway. Dalai Lama. TOTAL FAMEWHORE AND PERVERTED CREEPO. Fascinated by celebrity culture and loves the fact these dumbass movie stars fawn over him. Like that creepster 60s Indian Guru the Beatles used to follow. Greedily accepts hotel upgrades, first class flights, untold freebies etc.
Wait for the tabloid newspapers to bring this gross fcker down next!

I think the whole Maharishi thing was another ploy to get people swayed and into TM, using the fame of the Beatles. Nothing wrong with meditation at all. It is a problem however, when people start to believe that nothing matters and that they are just dancing tetrahedrons (quite like Jim Carrey is now spewing all over the internet). Things do matter and a simple mantra isn't going to save anyone....... Maharishi yet another fallen guru.

yeah i meditate, but i had a problem with carrey's statement that nothing matters or whatever it was he said. but i attributed that to a phase of waking up, where you kind of go through a period of existentialism. i went through that back in the 1980's, but it eventually led me back to the search (and finding) for meaning and ultimately to God. not the God of the bible, but as the loving benevolent source of all things. just as an aside, the God i am speaking about and know personally doesn't want us to be small & fearful, but to step into our power and be co-creators with him/her. i truly believe God wants the best for us and wants us to overcome the evil that has taken over our planet. he/she's not going to do it for us, though, we are going to have to do it ourselves. wish us luck, right? let's make our own!
