The Buddhafields

[Butch Cassidy]

Did anyone happen to watch a documentary that aired last night called "Holy Hell"?

It was about a cult in the 80's called The Buddhafields....really interesting.
The leader had a weird trippy androgynous face...

I kept missing it on CNN, but it looks like it will be available on Netflix for a while...

Could you imagine seeing that creepy looking fuck in public with his air of weirdo and all his followers?

I'm sure people in Austin must have had at least some contact with them. Crazy shit lol!

Basically a group of people started following a man, over a hundred living together for over 20 years starting in the 80's.
He had a quasi acting background (if you think non speaking roles and gay porn is acting) some sort of certification in hypno therapy and a mash of concepts from different spiritual paths.
I actually think he might have had some real powers acquired from some master he himself recieved shakitpat from but.....he was encredibly fucked up and abused his power to manipulate people into worshipping him. Not to mention all of the straight and gay devotees he sodomized.

Sounds a little familiar.
