It makes sense if you weren't there. If you were 

there, it seems a lot like someone trying to cling 

to his preconceptions.  :-) 


In this case what it is IMO is someone with a large amount of experience--an expert--sharing what this type of thing usually means. It's happened before, it will happen again. Since it violates a lot of Buddhist ethics, it kinda rules out the guy being some great reincarnation. But that's obvious also based on his actions, which were destructive to sentient beings.

You also can learn a lot from how people reacted to these incidents, i.e. the old GF you mentioned: confusion, anger, etc: destructive emotions. Not a good sign.

I also remember the effect he had on other practitioners--esp. his students--they were legendary (to put it very nicely).

As I rememebr, in dharma circles, there was some mention that either he or a student of his made the claim he was a reincarnation of a Tibetan master and that never panned out. I cannot remember if it was investigated, was there ever an official letter issued (i.e. from the office of HHDL)?
