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.

Re: What is a healthy mythology?
There were probably travellers who spread these stories quite widely…

Re: How to quote?
To set a paragraph in the quote bubble the first two characters of the paragraph are a > followed by a space, that's it. Each time you hit enter you need to do it again to include it all in the same bubble.
For example, if you have two paragraphs with a gap between them you need "> " in the gap as well. Quote this post to see the example. The double "> > " means its a quote in a quote and will be collapsed in the new post.

Re: How to quote?
When you hit the Quote button it will include the entire text of the post you are quoting, with > quote markers at the start of each paragraph. You then have to edit it (by hand) to select the part that you want to include in your post.
