Ending the Silence: Why the Dalai Lama Must Address the Epstein Scandal Directly
The Tibetan diaspora and its supporters worldwide are at a critical crossroads. Following recent allegations linking the 14th Dalai Lama to the disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, the community’s historical integrity is being put to the ultimate test. This article explores why the Tibetan community must unite to demand a transparent explanation regarding these associations, the attendant system, and the future of accountability within the movement.
Why Administrative Denials are No Longer Enough
For too long, the response to disturbing reports of sordid dealings and unethical associations has been managed by administrative offices through vague press releases. However, a crisis of this magnitude cannot be resolved by spokespeople or corporate-style denials.
When the spiritual heart of a nation is mentioned in the same context as sexual exploitation and power-brokering, the people deserve more than a filtered statement. They deserve the truth, delivered directly by the leader who has claimed to be a messenger of peace and compassion.
Strengthening the Cause Through Internal Justice
Allowing clouds of suspicion to linger compromises the cause in the eyes of the international community. True respect for the Buddhadharma requires holding teachers to the highest possible ethical standards.
Unity as Strength: Moving past the fear of being "disrespectful" is essential to achieving institutional transparency.
Protecting the Next Generation: Ensuring children grow up in a community where the vulnerable are never sacrificed to protect a "brand" is a fundamental requirement of human decency.
The Essential Requirements for a Public Accounting
The Tibetan exile community is calling for an honest, public accounting that moves beyond prepared scripts. To restore faith, the following three points must be addressed with total clarity:
Nature of the Association: A full disclosure of all interactions and financial ties between the Dalai Lama’s office and Jeffrey Epstein.
The Attendant Vetting Process: Complete transparency regarding the recruitment and monitoring of young boys during international visits.
A Commitment to Reform: A roadmap for dismantling the institutional secrecy that allows a "rotten core" to persist within the hierarchy.
