BTW -- Sogyal did not write the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. Sogyal is barely literate and cannot read Tibetan.He left Tibet at age 2 and received a basic education in India. He was never trained as a lama. The idea for the TBOLD came from Christine Longaker. Patrick Gaffney did the research. Andrew Harvey wrote the book. Compare the style and content to other books by Harvey.

Hello -- I am the journalist who wrote the feature in The Guardian newspaper in 1995, following the Janice Doe lawsuit against Sogyal Lakar aka Rinpoche . Since then I have been assembling evidence of Sogyal's promiscuous, sadistic sexual depravity and now have an extensive dossier of corroborated testimonies. There is not a scintilla of doubt that the allegations you see on the internet are truthful and accurate.
