--Right! Vaj's Guru, Norbu Rinpoche is not a great teaching Guru. He only has a few hundred disciples and his best technique is the "Dance of the Vajra" a type of dance done on top of a mandala to the accompanyment of various Tibetan instruments. Basically, Vaj reminds me of those Christian Fundies who go around saying "you're going to Hell". The people who say that are already in Hell, but they don't know it!.
