Summary · 摘要
After participants raised alarm about any link between Compassionate Inquiry (CI) and Yogi Bhajan—the disgraced founder of the 3HO/Kundalini Yoga organization exposed as an abuser—Gabor Maté and his CI co-developer Sat Dharam Kaur each issued a public statement. Maté affirms he is fully aware Bhajan was a “spiritual charlatan” and abuser, has no connection to Bhajan’s organization, and neither practices nor advocates Kundalini Yoga. He explains that Sat Dharam Kaur, a Kundalini teacher, helped build CI and that Kundalini is not a formal part of the method—only optional, voluntary breath exercises she offers, which he himself does not do. He argues the leadership of Bhajan’s organization has still not taken full responsibility, and vouches for Sat Dharam’s integrity. In her own statement, Sat Dharam Kaur describes her shock at learning of Bhajan’s actions, her journey toward recognizing an inner teacher, and her reasons for supporting CI: healing her own childhood trauma and helping build a global network of practitioners so people can heal before harming themselves or others.
在有学员对同情探询(CI)与尤吉·巴赞——3HO/昆达里尼瑜伽组织的创始人、后被揭发为施虐者——之间是否有任何关联表示警觉之后,加博尔·马泰与其 CI 共同开发者萨特·达拉姆·考尔各自发表了公开声明。马泰确认他完全清楚巴赞是一个”精神骗子”和施虐者,他本人与巴赞的组织毫无关联,既不修习也不提倡昆达里尼瑜伽。他解释道,萨特·达拉姆·考尔作为一名昆达里尼老师参与了 CI 的开发,而昆达里尼并非该方法的正式组成部分——她只是在完全自愿的基础上提供可选的呼吸练习,他自己并不参与。他指出巴赞组织的领导层至今仍未承担全部责任,并为萨特·达拉姆的正直作担保。在自己的声明中,萨特·达拉姆·考尔讲述了她得知巴赞行径时的震惊、她走向认识”内在导师”的历程,以及她支持 CI 的理由:疗愈自己的童年创伤,并帮助建立一个全球执业者网络,让人们能在伤害自己或他人之前先得到疗愈。
Key points · 要点
- Maté states plainly that Yogi Bhajan was a charlatan, exploiter, manipulator, profiteer, and sexual abuser—one of a long line of such figures in both Eastern and Western lineages.马泰直言尤吉·巴赞是一个骗子、剥削者、操纵者、牟利者和性侵者——是东西方各传承中此类人物长长名单里的一员。
- He has never had any personal connection with Bhajan’s organization and is neither a practitioner, teacher, nor advocate of Kundalini Yoga, though he does not advise against it for others who find it helpful.他与巴赞的组织从无任何私人往来,既非昆达里尼瑜伽的修习者、老师,也非其提倡者;但对那些觉得它有帮助的人,他也不加以劝阻。
- Sat Dharam Kaur, a Kundalini teacher, helped develop CI; thanks to her, CI has been studied by over one thousand health-care practitioners in seventy-seven countries over two years.昆达里尼老师萨特·达拉姆·考尔参与开发了 CI;得益于她,两年间已有逾一千名健康从业者在七十七个国家学习了 CI。
- Kundalini is not a formal part of CI: Sat Dharam offers optional breath exercises on a voluntary basis, and Maté makes clear he does not do them himself.昆达里尼并非 CI 的正式组成部分:萨特·达拉姆在自愿基础上提供可选的呼吸练习,而马泰明确表示自己并不参与。
- Bhajan is never mentioned positively in CI; Maté believes his organization’s leadership still has not taken full responsibility for their long-time blindness and coverup.CI 中从未正面提及巴赞;马泰认为其组织的领导层至今仍未为其长期的视而不见与掩盖承担全部责任。
- In her own statement, Sat Dharam Kaur recounts her shock and disillusionment at learning of Bhajan’s actions, and how it led her to realize the greatest teacher lies within.在自己的声明中,萨特·达拉姆·考尔回顾了得知巴赞行径时的震惊与幻灭,以及这如何让她领悟到最伟大的导师就在自己内心。
- She frames her support of CI around recognizing her own childhood trauma, helping others know themselves, and building a global practitioner network so people heal before they harm.她将自己对 CI 的支持归结为:认清自身的童年创伤、帮助他人认识自己,并建立一个全球执业者网络,让人们在造成伤害之前先得到疗愈。
