Hi Stevie,

It is for this very reason, together with other disputes within Vajrayana Buddhism such as the Two Karmapas issue, for example, that we have the following request clearly stated in the Code of Conduct at this website :


13. Members are requested to avoid posting discussions or media items concerning controversial practices, traditions and disputes within Vajrayana Buddhism as these issues can lead to deep divisions between online sangha.
This avoids the possibility of squabbles amongst students from opposing 'sides' in these issues which affected 2 or 3 internet Buddhist groups in the past and seemed to drive most of the other members away.

Thanks.


Sorry I can't really help any further than that. I'm also no longer a Vajrayana practitioner myself, I changed to the Theravada Forest Tradition a couple of years or so ago.

with kind wishes,

Aloka
