Relevancy: NXIVM was a cult. Preying on women, Keith Rainiere was also alleged to have preyed upon children. Further, he started in Arkansas under the watchful eye of Bill Clinton, and was found guilty of running a pyramid scheme. He paid a fine rather than serve jail time, and has been shoveling money into the democratic party which includes the Clintons ever since. This post expands and widens what this cult was about by tying it with Buddhism.
Came across this article that speaks of ''tantric'' sex and its place in Tibetan Buddhism. It has some pretty revealing things to say about the Dalai Lama and his being involved in a whole lot more than he's willing to admit. The article reminded me of a book I read a while back. I'll be damned if I can remember the title, but it was about the introduction of Buddhism to America. I'm going to have to put the rest of this in a comment below, because I can't find the book, and have no supporting material for what I read. So I'll put a summarization of the book as a comment. Now to get back to this article. Here's a bit of what it has to say:
https://artvoice.com/2018/02/18/author-dalai-lama-reportedly-aware-secretly-supported-lamas-tantric-sex-cult-practices/
Author: Dalai Lama reportedly aware, secretly supported lamas’ Tantric sex cult practices
he following is the opinion of author, Christine Chandler. She wrote ‘Enthralled,’ a book about the alleged secret Tantric sex practices of Tibetan Buddhist ‘monks.’ The writer’s views are her own.
NXIVM is a cult that brands women on their pubic region as a mark of slavery to its leader, Keith Raniere. Artvoice broke the story of their branding, which subsequently became worldwide news.
In 2009, the Dalai Lama came to Albany NY, where Raniere operated NXIVM, to give a speech. He was hosted by Raniere and two followers, Clare and Sara Bronfman, heiresses of the Seagram Liquor fortune. There was a great deal of controversy about the Dalai Lama’s visit. He was accused of supporting a cult. Raniere, however, used the Dalai Lama’s visit as a de facto endorsement of NXIVM. The Dalai Lama also wrote a preface to one of Raniere’s books, The Sphinx & Thelxiepeia.
As part of our reporting on NXIVM, Artvoice discovered that one of the Dalai Lama’s emissaries, Lama Tenzin Dhonden, allegedly had an affair with Sara Bronfman. This caused a scandal for Tenzin since he was publicly posing as a monk.
By Christine A. Chandler, M.A., C.A.G.S.
Artvoice recently reported on the Dalai Lama and his corrupt monk, Lama Tenzin Dhonden’s involvement with NXIVM.
This was not a fluke or an aberration, because what lies beneath a cult like NXIVM, is the cult of Tantra that the Dalai Lama and his sexually abusive monks have been importing into our country since the days of Trungpa Rinpoche: Tibetan Buddhism is not Buddhism as it pretends, it is a thousand year old cult of sexual abuse that uses women for their Tantric practices. That is why the Dalai Lama was willing to take money from Keith Raniere’s group:
Here is the news, reported all over Europe, about the favorite lama of the Dalai lama, Lama Sogyal of Lakar, that is being purposely repressed in the U.S.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-man/sexual-assaults-violent-rages-inside-dark-world-buddhist-teacher/
Now that Lama Sogyal has been outed and is hiding somewhere in Thailand with his harem, the women, just like those enablers of the cult of NXIVM (sexual abuse organizations always have female enablers) and the other corrupted Lamas, are infiltrating into many institutions to create chaos and havoc with their Tantra. What Keith Raniere is practicing is Tantra that nails all female energy down in a misogynistic paradigm, that these Dalai Lamas and the other Lama sects all practice, while putting on their grand theatre and using traditional Mahayana Buddhism, and humble monk personas to fool people in the West. The Dalai Lama’s Tibetan Buddhism has been the biggest hoax on the Western world, and is here to create havoc and chaos, immorality and confusion in all our western institutions.
How do I know? Because I was a western Tibetan Buddhist, who escaped their net of thought-control inside their sanghas. Few do. It is how they kept their own country in poverty and misery for the last 1000 years, and are now China’s soft power to destroy the fabric of our country. Theirs is a civilization jihad that operates by stealth, and comes with a smiling face and peaceful, happy rhetoric when they were, in fact, the religion of the wrathful Khans. That history is purposely repressed.
Someone sent me your material when it was reporting about the Dalai Lama and I thought that you might want to know what Lies Beneath their masks:

Thought you might be interested that the Dalai Lama’s behavior and support of NXIVM was not a simple mistake. Anything that ‘nails all female energy down” is what the Dalai Lama would be behind and support, just as he supported this Lama Sogyal for the last 40 years, who kept harems of Western women, whom he beat and treated like slaves:
Tantric sex is what is being used and is the lure. Even Katy Perry mentioned it during her stint posing as a knowledgeable recording star and not for the Satanic whore that she is. In a joke, she said she was practicing Kundalini yoga the previous night. For those not familiar with Kundalini yoga, there are two distinct paths. The right-handed path is alleged to be the fastest way to attain enlightenment. It does this by blocking energy from this root chakra and this keeps out sexual energy from debasing the process. However there is the left-handed path.
The left-handed path is the path of Kundalini Tantra sex. It draws its power from the root chakra or the goddess Shakti. In other word, this root chakra is left open -- wide open because it's what participants want to awaken. People may dismiss it, but it does cause change. This is what would be used if done to attain earthly power or prowess.
The number of stars involved in Kundalini Tantra ex is astonishing, but the thing to remember is that the Great Beast Aleister Crowley based his sexual rituals on this:
http://www.esoteric.msu.edu/VolumeV/Unleashing_the_Beast.htm
Yes, he did not invent the rituals. They part of the practice of Kundalina Tantra sex. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this was what Raniere was using since disciples were promised seeing "a blue light".

In Raniere's shadows
Women recall manipulation, underage encounters
Women who have had sex with Keith Raniere say it was billed as a spiritual experience, a transfer of his godlike energy.
One said Raniere told her their union would make her see a blue light.
Another recalled him explaining a threesome would cure the pain of childhood molestation — that she could then start to view sex as just sex.
And in 1984, when a woman objected to 24-year-old Raniere having sex with her underage sister, the woman said Raniere explained her sister's soul was much older than her biological age. The girl was 15 or 16 at the time. But according to the man who came to view himself as an enlightened being, she was a Buddhist goddess meant to be with him.
BOOM! There it is. The proof this cult was tied to Buddhism. The press sure isn't pushing that aspect. Again:
she was a Buddhist goddess meant to be with him.
More:
He explained how there was a profound event that would often happen to the women who became intimate with him, sometimes they would even see a blue light. ... Ultimately I agreed to be intimate with Keith, and it was just as he said. I even saw a blue light, but I don't think I told him so. I remember thinking, 'Wow, my brain is really susceptible to the power of suggestion.'"
No, she was not susceptible to suggestion. This is an actual occurrence ... and it's not good.
I may add to this as I find more. But for now, I'll put my remembrance of the book in the comment section.

I've met many a 'new age' identified person who thinks Tibetan Buddhism is just so 'kewl'. But I think it has a very dark, dark side.
Here's a "Human Flayed Skin Advanced Practice Rug"! This one is an antique from pre-1940 available now on Amazon for about 10 grand.
https://kek.gg/i/7mvrmW.jpeg
Don't get too excited! It is actually just a rug, but the imagery and idea of it is so grotesque. As I understand it they did keep flayed skins and skull cups and the like in monasteries though. There's some ceremonial dagger they use, called a 'dorje' if I recall correctly. I'll research more later. It sort of relates to things like 'baby skin shoes' and 'human leather'. Just kind of satanic.
(Of course, Christian crucifix images and mainline Buddhist gaunt Buddha images are rather grotesque!)

Yes. There is this strange compulsion for some to embrace a total stranger. But it's that disarming religious facade they wear.
Religion is the perfect vehicle to make you vulnerable. If someone is striving to be better, then right away they're positioned as a ''seeker'', and a seeker needs a 'teacher''. It's why people have to be so very careful about who they follow. Just because someone reads the original holy text does not mean that the person presenting him or herself is faithfully adhering to the principles described.
And being betrayed in a religious setting is just so horrible. These individuals are tampering with your soul and that's the ultimate crime.

There's a seeker born every minute. j/k
The Dalai Lama presents himself as the expert on ethics, the representative of a goddess of compassion. Yet if you look at pre-Chinese takeover Tibet, the place seems entirely the opposite of compassionate. I'm talking about slavery, mutilation as punishment, etc. Most lived in poverty yet the Potala palace was roofed in gold. Of course Tibetan proponents will say it was Shangri-La and this is all Communist Chinese propaganda.

I believe you're giving a pretty accurate portrait or what was occurring.
It's hard to condone that someone representing goodness would knowingly condone alleged acts of child molestation and abuse of women that included branding. Wouldn't you think someone in that position would speak out and tell Raniere's followers they were following the wrong path?
Makes no sense.
sore_ass_losers ago
Not necessarily goodness, but compassion for others suffering (which of course means don't make anyone suffer!).
My understanding, at the time of the DL's speech the criticisms were that KR was a known fraudster with his former pyramid scheme and that he was now building up a personal cult following, mostly female, and having sex with followers. He was having sex with a 12 year old also back in the pyramid scheme days. Anyway, I'm fairly sure the branding is a new revelation, that's what brought the cult to the public eye recently. Supposedly DL's people investigated and the DL wound up warning KR he had to face these accusations. But, yeah.

This is wrong. The story first hit in 2007, but was not followed up on. Why? Well, because no charges were filed and threats were made. Given The Kenyan' wanton disregard for the law, it's not a wonder. He was too busy in the basement playing ping pong with what looks to be underage boys. The police didn't follow up even after that minor alleged molestation, but I believe she was all of fourteen by then, and bro's before ho's.

The Frank Report seems to claim it revealed the branding in 2017:
"October 19, 2017
Editor’s note: This was the first time the branding and blackmail story appeared anywhere."
(Parsing more carefully, was this just the first report that blackmail was involved?)

Bullshit.
And you have absolutely no way to determine if the branding is new. Remember, he was running a different scam back in Arkansas. And the cult evolved. If you roam through this thread, I believe @think- posted Raniere's writings regarding DOS. The guy was straight up crazy. Even without the branding, he was into abuse.
Then there's his alleged flings with kids.
