The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him.
   —Proverbs 18:17 (NIV)

Victor and Victoria Trimondi, co-authors of the recent German bestseller, The Shadow of the Dalai Lama first met the XIV Dalai Lama in the eighties and came to know him very well. Subsequently, they published his writings, organized critical conferences and were instrumental in securing his invitation to Germany and Austria.  At the time they thought, “Only the worst villain could disagree with what he has said and written.”    However, after responding to his encouragement to convert to Tibetan Buddhism, and after much serious study, they uncovered  a vile connection between magic and politics, “the foundation for an absolutistic system in which spiritual and worldly power are united in one person, the Dalai Lama, and an extreme ‘metaphysical exploitation of women.”

 The Shadow of the Dalai Lama: Sexuality, Magic and Politics, released in 1999 is a best selling expose in Europe numbering  800 pages of carefully researched and reasoned arguments. The Trimondi’s take you on a painful journey that dismantles the West’s idealized image of Tibet and takes off the pacifist mask of the Dalai Lama, revealing a pantheon of warring deities and a skillful God-King who still acknowledges the guidance of a demon-possessed man, the Nechung Oracle in all his important State decisions.    

 They warn that the ‘Kalachakra Initiation is consciously devoted to the manipulation of believers and introduces “an aggressive military ethos” aiming at “the establishment of a global Buddhocracy” following a Buddhist war in 2327 waged against the followers of Mohammed, Abraham, and Jesus.”

Link 2: Eight Serious Questions from the Trimondis for the XIV Dalai Lama on the Kalachakra Tantra Ideology.

Question 1. Why does the Kalachakra-Tantra which is supposedly a “ritual for world peace” prophesy and glorify a holy war by Buddhists against non-Buddhists?Question 2. Why does the Kalachakra-Tantra ( taught throughout the USA), which is supposedly a contributor to a world ecumenical movement and a world ethos, attack the 3 monotheistic-semitic religions, especially Islam, named as “enemy of the Dharma”, and swear a religious war against Islam?    

Where in your texts you proclaim “Adam, Enoch, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mani, Mohammed, and the Mahdi” are characterized as the “family of the demonic snakes and are attributed with characteristics of darkness and deceit. (see Shri Kalachakra I.154).
