Inviting the Sakyong to confer the Rigden Abhisheka this year is premature.

Until the new care and conduct policy is formalized, we do not know what steps a teacher who has violated that policy will be required to take nor does the community know if that Sakyong has taken those steps.

While it is unfortunate that many students cannot continue on their path as long as he is the only one who can confer the transmissions, it would be unwise for the organization to place a teacher in such a sensitive position until such matters are clarified and complied with.
