I came across this, about Chögyam Trungpa’s organisation Shambalahttps://thewalrus.ca/survivors-of-an-international-buddhist-cult-share-their-stories/
We can see that there are cults in practically every type of religion. That's why I try to make a distinction between religion in its spiritual aspect (beliefs, practices, experiences), which can be experienced by a person alone, and the religious structures (churches, groups, organizations) which, because it involves people and power, can be quite harmful.
