Cracked Mocks Naropa and the Waldorfs
Sparks:
For the record and for further reading I add some links about Naropa University and Chögyam Trungpa.
While the ordinary Wikipedia article avoids mentioning controversies, this article covers "Questionable classes … Further strangeness … The Boulder Buddhist Scam" (A blog about Naropa University and how it hurts it's students, higher education and Buddhism):
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Naropa_University
For those, like SanroK, who do not want to read critical material I throw in this Master's thesis from the University of Colorado:
Tibetan Buddhists, poetry wars and the Naropa Institute in the People's Republic of Boulder, Colorado.
And then this, for the most part painfully glorifying, article:
