The Guru is Dead
Ryan Nakade, age 26, is a philosopher, rapper, avid gardener and a whiz at Vedic astrology. Ryan and I discuss the recent sex scandal at Shambala, a worldwide Tibetan Buddhist community, and the implications for the future of guru-student dynamics on a personal and community level. How can these abuses of power be avoided? What can students do to protect themselves without losing connection to their traditions? Are hierarchical power structures and rituals necessary to the “soul” of religion?
