2011年7月6日-16日達賴喇嘛將在美國華盛頓舉行為期11天的「時輪灌頂」。此一「大事」已在美國網路媒體開始報導 （詳見下方轉載），從該報導可以看出，雖然藏傳佛教／喇嘛教／西藏密宗在歐美各國早已爆出不少喇嘛雙修性侵案，但大部分的人仍舊籠罩在達賴喇嘛的諾貝爾和 平獎光環，以及他的微笑面具之下。
如果我們翻看一下網友的回應，更可以肯定上述觀察。大部分的讀者迴響，無不讚揚達賴喇嘛的和平形象，以及他對世界和平的貢獻。少數客觀而直指達賴喇嘛、藏 傳佛教真相的，只有阿拉巴馬州立大學的歷史教授Andrei Znamenski，他從他才剛出爐的新書「紅色香巴拉」(Red Shambhala: Magic, Prophecy, and Geopolitics in the Heart of Asia) 向網友們呼籲：應該更進一步、真正瞭解「時輪密續」的內容；雖然達賴喇嘛從印度聖雄甘地吸取了「和平觀點」，但西藏沒有和平史頁，藏傳佛教也決不是人們所 以為的光明、正向、有益人類。
從網友回應內容來看，藏傳佛教／喇嘛教已相當成功的打入美國社會。這代表著，大部分的社會人士不瞭解喇嘛教的實質，他們對藏傳佛教的認識，僅僅限於喇嘛們所呈現的偽面目，以及美國好萊塢電影給予他們的錯誤影像。
誠如Znamenski教授所說，揭發藏傳佛教的真相，並不是「攻擊」達賴喇嘛、藏密信徒，但是達賴喇嘛應該走向下一步，向世界大眾公開說明「時輪密續」 的實際內容到底是什麼！（why not to take a next step and openly explain to people what Kalachakra is?）一個頂著諾貝爾和平獎、眾望所歸（如果真的可以這麼形容的話）的大喇嘛，如果仍然遮遮掩掩，不敢向大眾公開「時輪灌頂」的真實內容，豈不減損了他 身為「世界級」諾貝爾得主的氣度了呢？
無論達賴的「時輪灌頂」將在美國掀起什麼樣的熱潮，肯定的是，藏傳佛教的譚崔信仰已經隨著達賴喇嘛遍傳世界各地。歐洲的社會、媒體已經在1997年左右開 始認清達賴的真面目，美國則似乎剛起步而已。不管未來歐美社會需要花多少時間廓清藏傳佛教的真相，希望有愈來愈多像Znamenski教授這樣有良知的學 者，以他們的專業、熱情，幫助大眾認清藏傳佛教。

Dalai Lama To Host Washington D.C. Peace Festival In July
By Jack Jenkins
c. 2011 Religion News Service
WASHINGTON (RNS) The Dalai Lama will visit Washington next month for an 11-day peace rally that is being billed as "the largest gathering for world peace in history."
The July 6-16 "Kalachakra for World Peace" aims to "amplify the profound, unshakable commitment of (the Dalai Lama) to values such as love, compassion, wisdom and interfaith harmony," according to publicity materials.
The first day of the event will mark the Dalai Lama's 76th birthday.
Event activities include dancing, chanting of prayers and teachings by the Dalai Lama on Tibetan Buddhist principles. Like other events hosted by the Dalai Lama, Buddhist monks will create a colorful and detailed sand mandala, or mural, that will be swept away to illustrate the impermanence of life.
A Kalachakra is an ancient Buddhist ceremony that is "capable of creating ... peace of spirit and therefore peace in the world," according to organizers at the Capital Area Tibetan Association, which is hosting the event.
While the ceremony is intended to school Buddhists in various stages of spiritual discipline, organizers also welcome visitors, saying "observers are welcome simply to watch the ritual, absorb what they wish of the teachings, and receive the blessing."
The D.C. event will be the 31st ceremony of its kind overseen by the current Dalai Lama, and promoters say the location in the nation's capital is "of particular significance" as it is "the leading hub of the free world where local decisions deeply and globally affect an incalculable number of lives."
The Dalai Lama's visit comes just months after he announced his retirement from his role as political leader of Tibet's government-in-exile. While he remains the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists, the Dalai Lama said his people need their own freely elected head of government.
Reader Comment of Prof. Andrei Znamenski
It might be shocking for many readers, but let me start by saying that Kalachakra-tantra has nothing to do with peace, compassions, and freedom. In so-called Tantric Buddhism it was a misogynistic power quest performed by male initiates to accumulate sacred power of particular Buddhist deities (lower seven initiations open for all) and, through blending male and female fluids (top secret initiations that involved sexuality), to eventually turn themselves into superhuman androgynous beings. Moreover, part of the Kalachakra teaching was a militant Shambhala prophecy, a call for a Buddhist holy war against enemies of Buddhism, which might sound equally shocking to hear. Before the present Dalai Lama borrowed from Gandhi's teaching, none of his predecessors talked about non-violence as a virtue. All this might be useful to know before coming to the Dalai Lama event in Washington DC. For more details on Kalachakra check my recently published book "Red Shambhala: Magic, Prophecy, and Geopolitics in the Heart of Asia" and especially on-line "Critical Forum Kalachakra" hosted by Trimondi. This is not to offend His Holiness or his numerous American associates. Moreover, we need to commend the Dalai Lama for taking steps to adjust his religion to modern humanistic values such as world peace, ecumenism, feminism, environmen¬talism; why not to take a next step and openly explain to people what Kalachakra is? We have to be crystal clear: like any religion, Tibetan Buddhism has negative and positive sides.

Reader Comment of Tantrimuskritik
Indeed it’s a huge misunderstanding that the Lamaism is Buddhism. If we take a look at the Kalachakra Tantra which means "time-wheel" or "time-cycles", we will find out the Tibetan Buddhism is falsfied Buddhism with sex, violence and black magic. Kalachakra Tantra is the most important doctrine of Tibetan Buddhism, and the XIV Dalai Lama as the highest practitioner of Kalachakra Tantra represents the violence, sex rituell and black magic.
It's suggested for readers to take a more step to realize what the real Tibetan Buddhism is. “The world has seen rapid development in the scientific civilization of mankind, but the malignant tumor of evil cults is still rampant, plunging innocent people into the depths of suffering. Evil cults (...) want only preach the fallacy of "the End of the World", destroy social stability and jeopardize the lives and property of the public. Such perverse acts have aroused strong indignation of the people and governments of various countries. Many countries have staged a fight against evil cults by enacting legislation and setting up special agencies.” (From: Carrying forward Buddhism or Fueling Evil Cults? http://www.tibettravel.org/tibettravel/H-tml/200710-11103030-1.html)
If readers are interested in further information, just take a look at the research “Shadow of the Dalai Lama” of Trimondi (http://www.trimondi.de/EN/front.html).
