Been saying this for some time. Very unpopular opinion but it's 100% true: Pema Chodron is a conscious enabler of a sexual predator (Chogyam Trungpa) and a whole organization full of predators (Shambhala).

Here's the money quote: "a woman reported to Chödrön that she had been raped by a Shambhala Center director and subsequently miscarried. She says that Chödrön told her that “I don’t believe you” and “If it’s true I suspect that you were into it.” lionsroar.com/pema-chodron-a…
Apologies are great, but they came after 4+ decades of pushing the myth of enlightened Trungpa (and enabling his abusive ways and those of his successors).
Trungpa was 28 when he groomed and then committed statutory rape with a 15-year-old girl. It's not like this was a secret: eventually he married her at 16, plus approximately 7 other women over the years. That doesn't include the ones pressured into sex.
