Derivations of Tibetan Buddhism: “I was beaten as a child in an OKC community center”

A cluster bomb. Just published by JC Lattès, the survey conducted by Élodie Emery and Wandrille Lanos, entitled “Buddhism, the law of silence”, pulverizes the smooth image of Tibetan Buddhism, which until then has been erected as an ideal philosophy of life. The authors recall its original essence: it is a religion, with its dogmas, its promises of salvation and its threats of hell. To hope to reach “enlightenment”, comparable to “grace” in Christianity, his disciples must obey a master. An omnipotence that can degenerate and lead to abuse, deprivation and sexual abuse, silenced by shame.
