What is the connection between the Dalai Lama and this cult?

Did he endorse it in the past?

Ozzy, a link to anything that suggests what you suggest is true, would be good.

The Dolly Llama (LOL) is a fairly sensible guy, so I doubt he'd be mixed up with any cults. People love to spread rumors though, so it'd more of that bizness than anything else.

It's also a sex cult which branded and enslaved women. The actress Allison Mack who played Chloe on Smallville was a part of it and was indicted on charges of sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy, and forced labor conspiracy in relation to her role in the NXIVM organization.
Former “Smallville” actress Allison Mack has pleaded guilty in a Brooklyn federal court to her involvement in the NXIVM sex cult case.

Mack, who is best known for her role as Chloe Sullivan on “Smallville,” was indicted in April, 2018 on charges of sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy, and conspiracy to commit forced labor. She previously pleaded not guilty to the charges, and faces 15 years to life in prison if convicted. Variety reported that Mack was previously in negotiations for a plea deal with authorities.

We wish to categorically state that His Holiness the Dalai Lama never takes an honorarium or fee of any sort, nor does he require that any payment be made to charities or organizations, as a condition of his making a personal appearance. Therefore, the reported allegation has no basis. Neither His Holiness the Dalai Lama nor the Dalai Lama Foundation ever received the alleged $1 million in connection with His Holiness’s appearance in Albany. (The Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama)

Doesnt sound like this 'cult' is that powerful or influential...if the feds indicted a member on those kinds of charges!

If you watched the documentary, Raniere had a visit with the Dalai Lama. I don't think His Holiness was truly aware of what whack jobs some of those folks were.

And please show some respect, he is His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
