What worries me however in Mary Finnigan's writing is that she criticizes everybody but Ole Nydahl and Karmapa Thaye Dorje. No word of criticism about these two.
I'm only aware of Finnigan criticizing Sogyal. She has made Sogyal her "project", and, for better or for worse, keeps her focus on him. I imagine tracking his activities and keeping up with the mail she gets from his victims keeps her busy. I'm not aware of her criticizing any other TB teachers. If my impression is incorrect, please let me know who else she has criticized, and post links, if any are available.
Has the German Buddhist Union come out with a statement about Nydahl? If so, and if someone could post a link to it here, we could use that as a quotable authority on Nydahl in letters sent to the Guardian.
Please don't hesitate to post any info you have on misconduct relating to Karmapa Thaye Dorje. There have been several European women who have posted here during the course of this thread, complaining about encounters with Ole and the Karmapa, saying they're writing books to expose everything. I doubt those would ever go to press, due to Ole's penchant for threatening people with libel suits, but this is just to say that I'm sure Ole is just as bad as Sogyal, and there are people trying to get the word out.
Maybe the Guardian is promoting Ole's book simply because Ole paid for advertising space.
