Best-selling Buddhist author accused of sexual abuse
$10 million civil suit filed in Santa Cruz by a woman who says Sogyal Rinpoche, author of the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, coerced her into an intimate relationship
By Don Lattin
Special to the Free Press
SAN FRANCISCO -- With the blessings of the Dalai Lama, a group of American Buddhist women have launched a campaign to expose the alleged sexual misconduct of a prominent Tibetan lama and best-selling author.
Sogyal Rinpoche, author of the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, is accused of physical, mental and sexual abuse in a $10 million civil suit filed last week in Santa Cruz County Superior Court.
According to the lawsuit, an anonymous woman identified only as Janice Doe came to Rinpoche for spiritual guidance last year at a retreat sponsored by the Rigpa Fellowship meditation center in Santa Cruz, but was coerced into an intimate relationship with the Tibetan guru.
Sogyal claimed (she) would be strengthened and healed by having sex with him and that to be hit by a lama was a blessing, the lawsuit states.
The suit -- which accuses Rinpoche of fraud, assault and battery, infliction of emotional distress and breach of fiduciary duty -- also charges that the Tibetan lama has seduced many other female students for his own sexual gratification.
Sandra Pawula, spokeswoman for the Rigpa Fellowship of Santa Cruz, one of many meditation centers in the United States, Europe and Australia, declined to comment about the allegations, but said that Rinpoche is not married and does not claim to be a celibate monk. Rinpoche, who lives abroad, could not be reached for comment. The lawsuit follows a letter-writing campaign to the Dalai Lama by American women concerned about alleged sexual exploitation by Rinpoche and several lesser-known Tibetan lamas.
What some of these students have experienced is terrible and most unfortunate, said Tenzin Geyche Tethong, the Dharamsala-based secretary to the Dalai Lama.
In a letter sent earlier this year to one of the women, Tethong said Tibetan Buddhist leaders have been aware of these (allegations) for some years now.
Jack Kornfield, founder of Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Marin County, was among a group of two dozen Western teachers who discussed the sexual misconduct of Buddhist teachers with the Dalai Lama last year in India.
According to Kornfield, the Tibetan Buddhist leader told the Americans to always let people know when things are wrong. Put it in the newspapers if you must do so.
Another woman allegedly abused by Rinpoche, Victoria Barlow of New York City, said she is disgusted by the way the Tibetans have manipulated the reverence Westerners have for the Buddhist path.
Barlow, 40, said she first met Rinpoche in the mid-1970s, when she was 21, and that she was sexually exploited by him during meditation retreats in New York and Berkeley.
I went to an apartment to see a highly esteemed lama and discuss religion, she said in an interview with the Free Press. He opened the door without a shirt on and with a beer in his hand.
Once they were on the sofa, Barlow said, the Tibetan lunged at me with sloppy kisses and groping.
I thought I should take it as the deepest compliment that he was interested and basically surrender to him, she said.
Sources say the Tibetan Buddhists were trying to handle this issue within their community but decided, especially after the Dalai Lama made the comment about going to the press, to go public now.
The Dalai Lama has known about this for years and done nothing. There is a real code of secrecy and silence, said Barlow.

《西藏生死書》作者索甲仁波切遭控告性侵害
一名婦女在美國加州山塔庫魯斯郡向法院提出一樁求償千萬美元的官司, 她聲稱遭受到《西藏生死書》作者索甲仁波切的脅迫與性侵害。
舊金山報導：帶著達賴喇嘛的祝福, 一群美國婦女佛教徒發起了一項運動, 揭發一位著名西藏喇嘛兼暢銷佛學書作者所犯下的不端性行為(性犯罪)。
在上個禮拜加州山塔庫魯斯郡高等法院的一樁民事訴訟案件中，索甲仁波切，《西藏生死書》的作者，被人指控犯下“肉體、精神與及性行為上的虐待”。
根據這項訴訟的內容，一位要求匿名的女子 Janice Doe(化名)於去年前往索甲仁波切所開設主持，位於加州山塔庫魯斯郡的 Rigpa靜坐靈修會員中心尋求關於靈性修行的指導時，最後卻在這位密宗大師脅迫下跟他進行了非自願性性行為。
根據起訴書記載：“索甲仁波切聲稱隻要被害人跟他作愛就能強化她自己的靈性, 並獲得心靈的愈合.他還告訴她說能跟一個喇嘛上床是一種很大的福氣。”
這次訴訟內容除了控告索甲仁波切犯下欺詐、毆打、造成精神性傷害與及違反信托義務等數項罪名外, 同時還指控這位西藏喇嘛為了滿足個人性欲不惜引誘多名女學員跟他發生性關係。
擔任Rigpa靜坐靈修會員中心——這個當今遍布歐、美、澳等國無數靈修中心的一個發言人的Sandra Pawula 小姐拒絕針對此事發表任何評論。不過她卻提到, 索甲仁波切至今獨身未婚, 而且從未標榜自己戒色禁欲。至於索甲仁波切本人，目前身在國外, 無法取得聯絡。這宗法律訴訟案件是緊跟在一項寫信給達賴喇嘛揭發索甲仁波切與其它西藏喇嘛性剝削與性侵犯事件運動後所提出的。
“這些女學員經曆的事件不僅可怕, 而且非常不幸。” 達賴喇嘛位於印度Dharamsala 的秘書Tenzin Geyche Tethong說。
在今年稍早寫給其中一名女學員的信中, Tethong還說：西藏佛教界領導人對於這些指控早已聞之有年了。
加州 Marin郡 Spirit Rock靜坐靈修中心的創始人 Jack Kornfield是去年二十四名在印度與達賴喇嘛開會討論當今藏傳佛教界師資不端性行為的西方教師之一。據他描述, 達賴喇嘛當時告訴在場的美國人說：“當事情出差錯時，不要向大眾隱瞞。如果你們真的覺得有必要向媒體揭發，那就去做吧!”
另外一位住在紐約市，據稱也曾遭過索甲仁波切性侵犯的婦女，Victoria Barlow說：“這些西藏男人利用西方人士對於佛法的尊重而瞎搞亂搞的惡行惡狀，實在是教人惡心厭惡透了!”
現年四十歲的Barlow女士還說，一九七0年代當她在索甲仁波切的靈修中心從事修行期間, 曾遭受後者性侵犯，而當時她年僅二十一歲。
在 the Free Press (自由報刊) 向她進行的一次采訪中，她透露道：“我前往這位備受尊重的喇嘛上師的公寓, 想要向他請教一些宗教上的問題。當門打開時, 我竟然看到他打著赤膊, 手上還握著一瓶啤酒。”
而當他們剛在沙發上坐定，Barlow 說：“這個西藏人就撲到我的身上, 開始對我又摸又舔!”
“我當時心裏想，應該把他對我有興趣當成是一種無上的讚美才對。因此，基本上，我並沒有作出任何反抗。”
有消息來源指出, 西藏佛教界原本希望將這些喇嘛上師的性醜聞當作內部事件來處理，不過，在達賴喇嘛發表上述有關談話後, 他們最終還是決定將事情公諸於世。
“達賴喇嘛明明知情已經好幾年了, 卻一直不聞不問！”Barlow說，“看來西藏密宗裏頭還真的是有必須保持秘密與沉默的規定了！”
