On Feb. 29, 2020 the Vancouver Shambhala Centre told me to leave and not come back. The whole story is on my Blog at: https:\/\/www.brianruhe.ca\/shambhala-centre-kicks-out-brian-ruhe-for-being-an-antisemitic-holocaust-denier\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\n are a Tibetan Buddhist organization and I started my Buddhist life with\n them almost 30 years ago. You can file a complaint with them or ask \nquestions, by contacting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Feb. 14th<\/sup> at\n 1:43 pm Sandy Brooks phoned me using Victor Nicolle\u2019s cell phone. I\u2019ve \nalways been particularly fond of Victor since my earliest days in 1991 \nso maybe that\u2019s why Sandy asked to use his phone. Sandy said that her \nand Jan Russell have asked that I not attend the Sunday morning meetings\n because I have posted some pod casts which are antisemitic and some \npeople feel uncomfortable. I think she meant the Jewish man Lawrence. At\n one of Acharya Susan Chapman\u2019s courses he said that his Jewish family \nin England was harassed by Nazi\u2019s after WWII, which seems odd since the \nGermans lost. I think he is the one who complained to Sandy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I \nsaid, \u201cOK, I won\u2019t go on the Sunday mornings if that\u2019s what they want\u201d. I\n explained, \u201cI was objecting to the elite Jews, like the Rothschilds and\n I was objecting to their conduct, not their race. I\u2019m not against \nordinary Jewish people but I\u2019m opposed to the elite\u201d. I said, \u201cI\u2019m \nacting out the Bodhisattva vow of compassion for the world as the \nRothschilds endanger the whole world and I\u2019m following Chogyam Trungpa\u2019s\n teaching to be genuine and authentic. The Rothschild bankers control \nalmost every country in the world and they control Canada and I\u2019m \nspeaking out against that, out of compassion\u201d. Sandy said that she \nappreciated how I felt but I make some people uncomfortable going there \non Sunday mornings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I responded, \u201cBut I\u2019m pleasant to everyone \nthere. I treat Jews fine when I\u2019m there, like Dr. Ron Greenberg, who was\n my doctor.\u201d I asked, \u201cWhat do the Jews have to do with Buddhism?\u201d Sandy\n said, \u201cYou\u2019ve also denied the Holocaust.\u201d I asked, \u201cWhat does the Holocaust have to do with this?\u2019 She said, \u201cSome members had family who they lost in the war.\u201d She couldn\u2019t justify her position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On\n Shambhala Day, Feb. 29, 2020 I went there and Shastri John Fox kicked \nme out. He said I was told I can\u2019t come back at all but he was wrong. He\n said they even checked with the police. That really hurt, of course, as\n I\u2019ve gone there over the past 30 years. How would you feel if you were \nbanished from your spiritual community?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I kept this away from the \npublic until this Sept. 2nd blog. This is much bigger now. This affects \nall 140 Shambhala centres worldwide because the issue is Jewish control \nover Shambhala has betrayed their religion. I am now working with others\n to \u201cMake Shambhala Buddhist Again\u201d. This is also the first time I am \ngoing public with an open higher realm battle to topple Jewish control \nfrom Shambhala. Both sides are above the law as there are no laws \nregarding the use of higher realm powers. The fight is on… read more \nat the link https:\/\/www.brianruhe.ca\/shambhala-centre-kicks-out-brian-ruhe-for-being-an-antisemitic-holocaust-denier\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
