Tibetan Buddhism - A Racket Posing as Religion

These centers keep a low profile, they recruit through word-of-mouth within the trendy, upscale American 'new age' network.  You're not likely to be aware they exist unless you're heavily into yoga classes and drive a hybrid.  The monasteries are off the radar, buried deep in mountain forests, but they are on hundreds acres of land. They grow their own food, do their own construction, generate their own power. They are 'off the grid' as much as possible. 

Each monastery is presided by a Tulku, the reincarnation of his predecessor all the way back through a lineage of semi-divine lamas.  The Tulku's entourage is a company or Tibetan lamas, who manage and run the place.  Finally, labor is supplied by volunteers who've signed a contract to work at the Monastery for at least one year, in return for Tibetan monastic training.   - See more at: http://henrymakow.com/2014/11/tibetan-buddhism-is-a-racket.html
