"In June that year I ...You may recognise this:<br />"In June that year I went to padmaloka for the weekend, excited at the prospect of a personal meeting with the founder of the Movement. The evening I arrived I ate dinner with the padmaloka community. Someone mentioned that there would be a puja later in the evening and as I was keen to attend I asked where the shrine room was. One of the order members who lived there was being very friendly and kindly offered to show me and so we walked through the house together. On reaching the then shrine room - a room at the front of the house - the order member told me that this was where it was. Then he kissed me. I was stunned, it was entirely unexpected as I knew nothing of the homosexual culture thriving in the fwbo at the time. I simply froze. He led me up to his room, locked the door behind us and proceed to have sex with me."<br /><br />I was a contemporary of Yashomitra's at Aryatara at the time. I was told he was seduced by you in fact, and advised to avoid you like the plague when going there to meet Bhante by Padmavajra who described you as 'bent as a rusty saucepan'. Please do not misinterpret me, I have nothing against homosexuality per se at all. And I was one of Padmaraja's boys. I just find it a little dishonest of you to post valid critiques of Sangharakshita without acknowledging how you perpetuated that culture he embodied.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01082738939394157111noreply@blogger.com
