Rangdrol,
Obviously he is not a simple monk. Do not insult the intelligence of the many people he has violated. This man is a full grown man that coerced many young women/Teenagers into a whole scenario where he is someone he isn't in a world he created. Not a simple monk! Not a monk at all!
Hi Electrolyte,
Well, this is what I was complaining about. The line says "He". Who are we referring to when we say "He"?
Mohan is NOT a monk. And I readily admit that I believe he is a con artist, a scammer, and that he has systematically abused his power, his title, and that his actions appear to be the work of a seriously deficient individual, with mental health issues.
But again, "He" is NOT a monk. To say so is wrong, and confuses the point.
My complaint, again was that other attacks were made against a teacher that I personally know. In fact was once asked to work on that teacher's behalf. If someone makes an accusation, they have to be prepared to make it public and to prove it.
When someone says that the reason we cannot find information on that person means that he is "protected" it all starts sounding like the delusional thinking of someone with a serious mental health disability. No one in the Tibetan community would shelter this kind of person. The incidents I do know, verifiable but a long time practitioner, is that yes, he wove his way in and around in the western Buddhist community, and that he conned not just western students, but Tibetan teachers.
I do find it totally bizarre that there is no mention of him in the media, and of this supposed arrest. This was my biggest complaint. If someone says that they read an article, then where is it? I went all over the internet, and took four hours, and not ONCE could I verify those claims. Why would we just want to believe whatever anyone says, if we cannot find proof? I don't doubt that this man is guilty, but thousands still believe that Jim Morrison is still alive. I am the perennial Doubting Thomas: I want some proof.
I have been around long enough to know, for example, that their are abusers out there, and that there are victims. I was emotionally, spiritually, physically, and sexually abused as a kid. But venting and accusing everyone they came in contact with doesn't do them or anyone else any good.
I gave the person the benefit of the doubt but they when I couldnt find info on the web, I had to ask why? Believe anything and everthing anyone says is no different that giving everyone your power.
The fact is, I would assume, that some people have had very negative experiences with this man and for whatever reason, have not prosecuted him. People need to do that. The other thing is that Mohan worked the foothills of Dharamshala and the UK, and the US. What we need to do is help bring this guy to court. In order to do that we have to find links and a network so that people can share their info with the police.
