LETTER TO AMERICAN BUDDHA

by Anonymous

March 31, 2003

Dear Tara,

Thank you for your inspiring and comforting comments in your last email.

Dzongsar Khyentse was the one who wounded me most. He just became too spoilt. When we first met he confided in me a lot. He wanted out. Two interesting things he said were:

a) His father Trinley Norbu never helped anyone;

b) Dzogchen doesn't work.

He used to joke that he had been brainwashed. He was a lovely man then. Then he suddenly decided he would become a great Rinpoche. He started writing crap articles rather in the style of Trinley Norbu. All he wanted to do was to make films, and he cleverly drew very wealthy Hong Kong students. I guess that was the way for him to get his freedom, but hurting a lot of people along the way. If you stick in with dogged devotion, and are prepared to be treated badly or at least taken advantage of, you will certainly have "good karma" with Lamas! I had completely trusted him but he just abandoned me having said, "It looks like I'm abandoning you but I'm not" ha ha! I was so bitterly disappointed when I read his truly awful article "Distortion," and I felt he had fallen under the influence of Trinley Norbu. Now he says he's gay....I think that is the real reason I was dumped. What a deceitful mixed up man. I read an article on his webpage recently about the making of his latest film in Bhutan, calling him a Saint. At least he's a good actor. I was very surprised and relieved to read his article in reply to yours. Still pompously written but basically supportive. Maybe he's got a conscious after all.
