Кто Вы, Майкл Роуч?

[Бхусуку]

Попала в руку книга геше Майкла Роуча "Алмазный огранщик: Будда о том, как управлять бизнесом и личной жизнью". Сдаётся мне, что это новый водопроводчик Лобсанг Рампа. Разубедите меня, если я ошибаюсь. Какое у кого мнение по этому поводу?

Вопросов меньше не стало, а стало больше. Странно, что на сайте ни слова о своих учителях...

А Вы книжку читали?
И как?

Странно, что на сайте ни слова о своих учителях...

Все же пара слов есть об учителях в Америке

Living and studying with Khen Rinpoche Geshe Lobsang Tarchin in the USA

И еще

In late 2005, Geshe Michael Roach invited one of his teachers, Geshe Thubten Rinchen from Sera Mey, to give teachings to a group of students in Northern India in July 2006. Geshe Michael Roach was to translate the teachings for his students.

Geshe Thubten Rinchen cancelled these teachings in early 2006, citing ill health, and Geshe Michael Roach then decided to give the teachings himself. The venue was changed from the Kulu Valley in Himachal Pradesh, to Dharamsala, the home of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

А вот это по моему уже говорит о многом

To: Rev. Michael Roach
Subject: Dharmsala visit

Dear Rev. Michael Roach,

This is to thank you for your letter of May 30, addressed to Chhime Rigzin-la both in English as well as Tibetan. Chhime-la is presently away with His Holiness and I am responding to your letter on behalf of our Office here.

We have gone through your long explanation but still do not support your coming to Dharmsala. If you have reached the path of seeing, as you claim in your letter, you should then be able show extraordinary powers and perform miracles like the Siddhas of the past. Only then will the followers of Tibetan Buddhists be able to believe and accept your claims.

Otherwise, as His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the Spiritual and Temporal leader of Tibet having responsibility over the welfare of Tibetan Buddhism many have often complained to Him that He should be strict with those who are not adhering to the general norms of discipline according to our tradition. And your coming to Dharmsala will be seen by many as His Holiness condoning your behavior and practice.

In view of all these we advise you not to visit Dharmsala in the greater interest of the purity of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition as clearly indicated in the letter of Chhime Rigzin-la dated May 24, 2006. However, as for the other members of your group those who are interested are welcome to attend the teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
