I have a duty as a Spiritual Master to report the Triratna Buddhist Community as a cult like movement.
They are reported in the press for a sexual abuse scandal involving its leader Sangharakshita. The article says that social services are involved and that the leader of the movement has apologized.

I was involved in the movement at the Ipswich Buddhist Centre and they tried to gag me when I spoke up about my concerns about cult behaviour. I was threatened with a lawsuit and losses if I did not be quiet. They lied about me later and gave me bad references (I worked for them). Now the truth of their abuse is out I can now talk, and there is the defence of qualified privilege as well as statements made to prevent harm or danger.
Here is my experience in detail on a whistleblowing website:-
The movement is a cult like sect with a history of abuse and scandal, the proof is evident.
I asked for an apology several times in 2015 and 2016, and instead some of them mouthed me off behind my back making untrue derogatory insulting comments.
