Articles, Press and resources to better understand the OKC-Spatz judicial case from 1997 to 2021
Kagyu Thubten Choling addresses sangha about Lama Norlha Rinpoche’s sexual misconduct with students – Lion’s Roar
This is what ALL the Lama’s listed in the OKC official site couldn’t do, much less read, much less contemplate about sexual abuse in Buddhism, hopefully, some people are talking, showing the road ahead, proving that everything is possible when one is able to get out of the veil of confusion and ignorance and actually…
Paedophile who fled Airdrie before sentencing resurfaces as a Monk in Mexico #Buddhism
This has nothing to do with OKC or with the OKCinfo initiative but one common point is fleeing from one place to another and continuing abuses in total impunity. It seems these days anyone can be “monk” like anyone can be “anonymous” and the Tibetan Buddhist hierarchy will not move a inch because well :…
There is no side to pick when the drift is about sexual abuses of your own students/adepts
“When any type of abuse, sexual or spiritual, requires a cost-benefit analysis, you have failed.” #RIGPA #OKCSpatz #Shambhala
A crucial quote from ‘The Holy Madmen of Tibet’
A crucial quote from ‘The Holy Madmen of Tibet’: ‘The process that has led to this application of the idea of “holy madness” is as follows: from at least the tenth century to the present there has been a small subset of religious practitioners in Tibet who through their eccentric behavior, writings, and self-proclamations, have…
Another insulting, supposedly “humorous” Dzongsar Jamyang Khentse rant against “Liberal Westerners” #Buddhism
Is Dzongsar the new Tibetan Trump ? Such Arrogance ! Dzongzar has totally lost the plot. He’s a ham actor playing to the gallery. His “humour” is not even vaguely funny. He misses every point that matters. The price you pay for celebrity status. He’d be better off sticking to makingmovies. He has been mocking…
It’s moving to read you, to find yourself at the bend of these verbs… even if we would have liked to see each other in more joyful conditions.
It’s moving to read you, to find yourself at the bend of these verbs… even if we had liked to see ourselves in happier conditions. I really like the answer “And the others,…” In memory of the beautiful writing, I remember all of you, our laughter, our loves, our beliefs, the intensity of our lives,…
@DalaiLama admitiu ter conhecimento de casos de abusos de mestres #budistas #metooguru
Commentário nosso : O que foi feito em 25 anos alem de “name & shame” ? Vitimas de OKC foram para Justicia mas alem disto demasiadas vezes, como na Igreja catolica, a religião organizada trata destes assuntos na sombra e vez de deixar a Justiça fazer o seu trabalho : pois na Europa abusos sexuais…
Picture of pedocriminal inside a so called Buddhist Temple in Nyima-Dzong aka Château de Soleil
Going to Château de Soleils aka Nyima-Dzong, entering the Buddhist Temple and realize that the picture of Robert Spatz alias Lama Kunzang is still in the alter, like if all the trial and the dozen sexual abuses never took place. #shame #denial #dangerouscult
Top Tibetan Buddhist leaders to hear sex abuse allegations against lamas in the West?
(TibetanReview.net, Sep16, 2018) – Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, has, on Sep 14, reportedly undertaken to raise the issue of Tibetan Buddhist masters’ alleged sex and related emotional abuse of their students in the West during the upcoming November meeting in Dharamshala of the top leaders of all the religious schools of Tibet.…
Rabjam Rimpoche, Matthieu Ricard visiting toxic-cult pseudo Buddhist center in France
Rabjam Rimpoche could avoid visiting sectarian pseudo Buddhist centers that are currently facing trials in France, specifically Nyima Dzong and Lerab Ling. Each time a high level Tibetan “master” visit a toxic Buddhist center without acknowledging the harm (sexual, physical, mental abuses perpetrated there) each time this occurs the entire Lineage is endorsing these predators…
H.H. the Dalai Lama’s Comments on the Troubles in #Rigpa – Tibetan Buddhism – #MeToo
Comment by RH in Contemporary Buddhism Group : It is encouraging that the Dalai Lama, at long last, spoke out openly about Sogyal Lakar and Rigpa. We should not forget, however, that he did so only after survivors’ stories and questions by reporters worldwide made it inevitable. Likewise, we should not forget that for decades…

HumKara Dzong – Mosteiro de Mú – Malhão
Drone view of the place a few years after 23 pre-teen & young adults were sent to this place by Robert Spatz in 1993. What enfolded during 3 years there, from 1993 to 1996-97 is a long story to tell and a complex one to remember but we’ll do our best to compile experiences on our…

Naming and Shaming : Robert Spatz aka Lama Kunzang currently in trial since 20 Years, They KNOW ! #metooguru
List of Tibetan Teachers being used by @OgyenKun to appear like a legit Buddhist center by using the name and images of known Buddhists teachers. Including the @Dalailama In 2016 and 20 years before the trial all these Tibetans were assembled into one only page now broken so it looks like OKC wants to have the…
Testimony from an Ogyen Kunzang Choling (OKC) Survivor
I am troubled by the premise that the members of OKC should be protected because they have “nothing to do” with the wrongs perpetrated by Spatz. This is a fiction that lives on in part because, contrary to accusations, the OKC children are absurdly compassionate and forgiving. Most of the OKC disciples were complicit in…
There is no greater violence than to deny the dreams of our children’s
There is no greater violence than to deny the dreams of our children’s, no greater violence than to deny childhood to children, even to just one of them. Ultimately if robbing childhood of children is already a crime, sexually abusing children or imposing physical harsh treatments is the height of human ignorance. The price for…
Hearings, pleadings and replies to trial #SPATZ #OKC completed.
Hearings, pleadings and replies to trial #SPATZ #OKC concluded. Deliberation + judicial recess and it resumes on Thursday, September 15 with judgment. Yesterday with the end of the defense’s replies we saw Spatz’s lawyer become more Spatzist than the guru himself by adopting his doctrine himself and spreading it for an hour in the courtroom…
“Crazy Wisdom” and the Risk of Abuse in Buddhist Groups and Yoga Schools | #buddhism #metooguru
A few days ago, the Telegraph reported on a religious group “Rigpa”, which promotes Tibetan Buddhist beliefs across a number of centres in various countries. The organisation is facing allegations of physical, emotional and sexual abuse by its founder and former spiritual leader, Sogyal Lakar or Sogyal Rinpoche as he is known in the Buddhist…
A Storm is Coming: Tibetan #Buddhism in the West #SexAbuse #TeacherPredator #Metoo
In Nyima Dzong, people were indoctrinated to see everything in a positive light. Negative thoughts were said to be signs of a clouded mind. Only Robert S. allegedly had access to ‘true reality’. He quoted Tibetan teachers with whom he had supposedly studied in India. And various Tibetan teachers made him seem legitimate by visiting…

Against the Beatification of Sogyal Lakar & Supporting the victims of RIGPA
May the death of Sogyal Lakar be a reckoning moment with both the good and the bad he did to his own students, may his passing be a moment of truth to Sogyal Lakar so that at least in death he be confronted to the reality of the sexual and spiritual abuses he undertook his…
Fundraiser by and for OKCinfo : Justice for OKCvictims #MeToo #Cult
We need all the help we can get, so if you can afford it all donations are welcome and will be used to pay for lawyers fees, mental & physical support for the victims while this trial is ongoing, plane tickets to allow the civil parties living abroad to travel to be present at audiences…
Sogyal Rinpoche Has Resigned from #Rigpa #Buddhism
It’s interesting to see how the word allegations is being used all across the world when it’s about Men sexual abuse, usually rich, privileged, powerful men using their positions to try at all cost to appear innocent, “using the justice system” or a third-party independent body to look into these “allegations” while maintaining a narrative…
“Whenever exploitation, sexual abuse or money abuse happen,” the Dalai Lama says, “make them public” (Leonard, 2001).
“Whenever exploitation, sexual abuse or money abuse happen,” the Dalai Lama says, “make them public” (Leonard, 2001). “When teachers break the precepts, behaving in ways that are clearly damaging to themselves and others, students must face the situation, even though this can be challenging. ‘Criticize openly,’ Dalai-Lama declared. ‘That’s the only way.’ If there is…

Testimony from an Ogyen Kunzang Choling (OKC) Survivor #sexualabuse #buddhism #rape #metoo
The following comment was posted by a Buddhist as a comment after having shared Ben’s powerpoint presentation “40 Years of Abuse in the Name of Dharma by ex-OKC born-kids” on Facebook. Ben who stands behind this entire thing has a financial interest and is generally against Buddhism. The whole matter is already old and has…
In the Spatz-OKC community the first handful of us who spoke up in 1997 were ignored by the rest for almost 20 years
In the Spatz-OKC cult/community the first handful of us who spoke up were ignored by the rest for almost 20 years while the justice system slowly turned its wheels, and even accused of demonic possession and all sorts of nonsense. It was painful, but I believe that most of these people were taken in by…

Robert Spatz alias Lama Kunzang Dorje alias Kundor
Without the indirect complicity and silence (and money) of the most renowned and respected Tibetan Lamas, the creation of Lama Kunzang alias Robert Spatz would never have taken place.
Sexual assaults and violent rages… Inside the dark world of #Buddhist teacher #Sogyal Lakar
“Once you enter into the hermetic world of Tibetan Buddhism, you somehow burn your bridges to Western rationality.” Tibetan culture is such that it will never criticise another lama, especially one within your own group Stephen Batchelor Source
Guru and Student in the Vajrayana by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse
OKCinfo does not endorse, support or agree with this article, it is the sole opinion of DJKR, we are rather ignoring the Vajrayana word-salad & instead reproduce this text here so that everyone can make his own opinion on how so-called Buddhist “masters” manage their crisis communication by protecting the abuser and blaming the victims.…
