2011年7月6日-16日达赖喇嘛将在美国华盛顿举行为期11天的「时轮灌顶」。此一「大事」已在美国网路媒体开始报导（详见下方转载），从该报导可以看出，虽然藏传佛教／喇嘛教／西藏密宗在欧美各国早已爆出不少喇嘛双修性侵案，但大部分的人仍旧笼罩在达赖喇嘛的诺贝尔和平奖光环，以及他的微笑面具之下。
如果我们翻看一下网友的回应，更可以肯定上述观察。大部分的读者迴响，无不讚扬达赖喇嘛的和平形象，以及他对世界和平的贡献。少数客观而直指达赖喇嘛、藏传佛教真相的，只有阿拉巴马州立大学的历史教授Andrei Znamenski，他从他才刚出炉的新书「红色香巴拉」(Red Shambhala: Magic, Prophecy, and Geopolitics in the Heart of Asia) 向网友们呼吁：应该更进一步、真正瞭解「时轮密续」的内容；虽然达赖喇嘛从印度圣雄甘地吸取了「和平观点」，但西藏没有和平史页，藏传佛教也决不是人们所以为的光明、正向、有益人类。
从网友回应内容来看，藏传佛教／喇嘛教已相当成功的打入美国社会。这代表着，大部分的社会人士不瞭解喇嘛教的实质，他们对藏传佛教的认识，仅仅限于喇嘛们所呈现的伪面目，以及美国好莱坞电影给予他们的错误影像。
诚如Znamenski教授所说，揭发藏传佛教的真相，并不是「攻击」达赖喇嘛、藏密信徒，但是达赖喇嘛应该走向下一步，向世界大众公开说明「时轮密续」的实际内容到底是什麽！（why not to take a next step and openly explain to people what Kalachakra is?）一个顶着诺贝尔和平奖、众望所归（如果真的可以这麽形容的话）的大喇嘛，如果仍然遮遮掩掩，不敢向大众公开「时轮灌顶」的真实内容，岂不减损了他身为「世界级」诺贝尔得主的气度了呢？
无论达赖的「时轮灌顶」将在美国掀起什麽样的热潮，肯定的是，藏传佛教的谭崔信仰已经随着达赖喇嘛遍传世界各地。欧洲的社会、媒体已经在1997年左右开始认清达赖的真面目，美国则似乎刚起步而已。不管未来欧美社会需要花多少时间廓清藏传佛教的真相，希望有愈来愈多像Znamenski教授这样有良知的学者，以他们的专业、热情，帮助大众认清藏传佛教。

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)
