Tibetan women commenting on an article in an Indian newspaper on the Dagri Rinpoche incident last year said, that the behavior you describe is not unusual among Tibetan monks. One poster in the “comments” section of the article online said, “we Tibetan women need our own #MeToo movement”. Finally, Tibetan women are getting fed up, and are beginning to speak out about monks’ and lamas’ misbehavior and harassments of women.
Hello, back to the Jo-nang tradition, here is the Mountain Doctrine authored by Dol po pa
Mountain Doctrine
Tibet’s Fundamental Treatise
on Other-Emptiness and the Buddha-Matrix
Translated and Introduced by Jeffrey Hopkins
"Introduction
As Cyrus Stearns says in his excellent biography:
Without question, the teachings and writing of Dol po pa, who was also known as “The Buddha from Dol po” ( Dol po sangs rgyas ), and “The Omniscient One from Dol po who Embodies the Buddhas of the Three Times” ( Dus gsum sangs rgyas kun mkhyen dol po pa ), contain the most controversial and stunning ideas ever presented by a great Tibetan Buddhist master. The controversies which stemmed from his teachings are still very much alive today among Tibetan Buddhists, more than 600 years after Dol po pa’s death.
His works were monumental and seminal in that they present a penetrating
and controversial re-formulation of doctrines on emptiness and buddha-nature
influential through to the present day….
Either during or after the building of the stápa, for the first time he taught that conventional phenomena are self-empty (自空), in the sense that they lack any self-nature, whereas the ultimate is other-empty (他空), in the sense that it is empty of the conventional but has its own self-nature."
