Isn't this just a dark aspect of an ideology? Every religion has a left hand path.

But good work indentifying the type of gnostic belief systems this specific cult practices.

No. In this case, Tibetan Buddhism is the ideology.

And I'm not aware of a left-hand-path in Christianity (apart from the Pope and other members of the clergy being.....not really Christians).

Isn't that what Muslims say when a terrorist blows themselves up?

Left hand path just means to take a portion of the tools available within an ideology and distort it for personal gain, or for corrupted sense of justice. Its not fixed. Its where people take teachings, and use it for servicing the self.
