Ole Nydahl's going to Dublin soon? Well next time he comes to London or Liverpool, he'll be met with protests, just like the last time... His glory days in the UK where he was free to spread his hate speech are over. Protests follow him and the UK govt even once considered banning him from the country for his hate speech. The game is up, Nydahl...!

Quotewarrenz What Corboy is saying may be true in general but not in this case. Both Ole and his Tibetan enablers need each other. The Tibetan lamas who teach at DWB centers are only from Shamar/Thaye Dorje's circle. It is not as if lamas from different lineages or groups are teaching there without any knowledge of who Ole is. It is not true. And why? Because Ole doesn't allow teacher

Hi everyone. I have spent a great deal of time and effort over my time on this website and others to expose the Diamond Way group for the cult it is. I feel this has been successful. Despite the cult's attempts to shut down any criticism it is becoming well known how abusive this cult is. When one puts in 'Ole Nydahl' or 'Diamond Way' into Google, one of the top suggest

Sorry, but I am reluctant to post my blog address on here, as I fear Diamond Way cult members will try to get it shut down. They have clearly browsed this site in the past to get hold of the addresses and owners of critical sites to then send legal threats to the web hosts.

I am starting to wonder if you are trolling, OleNydahlIsAFraud? I too have never heard any accusations of rape against Ole Nydahl. He takes advantage of brainwashed students, yes. He sexually abuses his position of power, yes. But rape? I'm not so sure it can be termed as that. I had an e-mail to me this morning as someone left a comment on a blog of mine. It makes interesting reading w

Well said above. Posting those pictures is pointless and counter-productive. Not only are they are all over the net anyway (especially Ole and Caty), but I fail to see what it achieves. I'm sure everyone posting here already knows what Ole Nydahl looks like! I also think that it will have the opposite effect to that intended. Those who have been 'named and shamed' will react by bec

I am in the UK, but I am aware of former members being excluded from centres in lots of European countries. I don't think I've ever heard such a story from the North or South American centres though. I can't remember who said it but I liked the way someone put it: 'disconnection'. This is what Scientology calls it, and Diamond Way uses exactly the same tactics towards for

Assuming you do beleive in Phowa (which you are entitled to, but this isn't the place to discuss it), do you really want to trust a racist, lying, sexist fool like Ole Nydahl with your 'living death'? I wouldn't. I ask again for any proof regarding this head injury one is supposed to get after doing 'Phowa'...

Quotedariusb@kate The Phowa practice is tantric practice and tantric practices are not understood well in western cultures so scrap everything as total nonsence would be a little bit unwise.

I would encourage the above about contacting the charity commission. I did this some time ago but never received a response. The diamond way cult is a money-making scheme, and the fact it has charity status is a huge disrespect to all those genuine charities. It seems as though charities are accepted unless anyone objects. However, with enough complaints, organisations can have their status revok

I remember Ole Nydahl trotting out that phrase about protecting women at lectures. Very typical of his sexist approach. What he is really saying is that he sees us as inferior or not capable of being in charge of our own destiny. Fits perfectly with his view that women are only good for two things. Having sex with, and creating the 'white babies' he wants more of. I once heard that Ole

I can vouch that 'stiff ideas' were definitely one of the phrases often trotted out in DW centres. It comes straight from Ole Nydahl's mouth and is parroted by centre leaders, travelling teachers, etc. It is used, along with the 'ego excuse' to shut down debate. If you disagree with Nydahl, you have too many 'stiff ideas', or an 'ego problem'. There we
