After reading the post Angels & Demons - Healing Intentions or Draining Powers, many readers have wondered what would the Dalai Lama say? Blog reader Oneredhorse expressed herself as follows:
Joy’s actions, when you line them up and review them, provide a powerful picture of her intentions. Compassionate healing or abuse, manipulation, and control? Without any concern of “defamation” it would seem her own behavior has done an exemplary job of revealing her true self. Ah, what would her friend the Dalai Lama say. Might he intercede on behalf of your family?

So what would the Dalai Lama say?
Interestingly, it turns out that Joy Tang’s organisation OneVillage Foundation is well associated with the Dalai Lama Foundation. (The page above was updated on July 2009.)
On their site, the Dalai Lama Foundation describes how OneVillage Foundation is one of the blogs they support:
We currently support these blogs:
* OneVillage Foundation;
* The Foundation’s CTO blog, which is the CTO’s personal blog dealing with technical problems of serving up peace and ethics worldwide;
* A private “circles” blog that’s used to communicate with Study Circle coordinators;
* A DLF—Canada blog which is integrated into a page on the DLF site;
* A new “green farming and energy” blog run by OVF.
* And the Project Happiness blog where teachers and students chronicle their participation in this important project.
The Dalai Lama Foundation has the following to say about OneVillage Foundation, and its founder, Joy Tang:
Joy Tang founded oneVillage Foundation to address the problem of helping AIDS orphans in Africa thru the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Joy has been a friend of The Dalai Lama Foundation since its inception. We provide blog capabilities for OVF.
It goes on to say how Jim Schuyler, Chief Technology Officer of the Dalai Lama Foundation, participates in “advising, and evaluating, whenever Joy or Jeff Buderer request his assistance.”
The Dalai Lama Foundation also refers to Jeff Buderer, who has recently started commenting on this site (esthergarvi.com):
Jeff Buderer maintains the OVF blogs and does other editorial and technical work. Joy has many initiatives in the works. They have a network of youth leaders in Africa who are working on projects and organizing locally.
For the specifics of the partnership between the Dalai Lama Foundation and OneVillage Foundation, DLF writes:
We try to help support others’ efforts where we can, rather than create new organizations. We provide whatever time and materials we can on a volunteer basis to help get them up and running. For instance, we have provided the technology behind OneVillage Foundation’s blogs while OVF has been building the content and format, You can now choose from among three OVF blogs: Integrated Solutions Blog, Integrated Farming and Waste Management, and OVF News.

At the end of the day, Oneredhorse’s question remains very valid:
What would her friend the Dalai Lama say. Might he intercede on behalf of your family?

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI hope that this makes it to the Dali himself. It seems to me that perhaps Joy should be working on her OV endeavor instead of manipulating a vulnerable man at a point of crisis where she should be wanting to draw his family in to help, not create the worry and mess that currently exists. Her actions speak volumes to me. Who is truly the crazy one here? Shame on you Joy. If you truly wanted to help this man you are going about it ALL wrong! I pray that the Dali Lama publically removes his support from your organization. You simply make peace look bad.
At the very least, Joy is giving her own foundation a bad name, and besmirching the name of the Dalai Lama for his association. I pray he intervenes on Arne’s behalf.
To the Dalai Lama: Please read the last month of posts by Esther Garvi and the comments to see what the One Village Foundation and Joy Tang are really doing. How can your foundation continue to support such fraudulent, illegal and deceptive activity?
I sure would hope that he would intervene on your behalf and rethink his organization’s connection to certain individuals.

Has this been forwarded to the Dalai Lama?
Oh my goodness, it has been a long time since I caught up on your blog, and now there is so much pain and heartache, I don’t know where to begin. I feel so worried and upset for you and your family. I can’t believe how this is happening. Certainly there is something very wrong here, and it must be stopped. I hope that this will quickly come to an end and that you can bring your father back from this dangerous place in his mind that he has entered. Blessings to all of you.
I honestly don´t hope that Dalai Lama will intercede in this matter but intervene.
After visiting the official Dalai Lama website and the one of the Dalai Lama Foundation, I can’t see any connection between them except for the name.
is there any problem there, a lot of us are very nervous. what is happening? Please send a short note to be sure you are all ok?
G.
Esther and family…Gina is right. Your friends out here are getting concerned about your well being. We need some kind of a sign that you are ok.
dear all,
things are very crazy right now
we just spent the night at the police station regarding Arne and Joy
have not slept for 24 hours (other than that, the four of us are ok)
will update as soon as I can!
While we’re waiting for a clue as to what’s going on I suggest as many of us as possible send an e-mail to the Dalai Lama urging him to intervene. He (or his organisation) does apparently endorse the One Village Foundation but there’s no way I can see that he’d agree with what Joy is doing to Arne or with the way that Joy’s foundation is flying under the legislative radar of the US, Taiwan and Ghana.
Let’s send him e-mails. This is the best adress I’ve found right now. If someone else knows of a better one then post it here.
ohhdl@dalailama.com
puhhh, thank’s for that note esther! you all alive i know now, hope things will go better soon. my prayings are with all of you…
Thanks for the quick note, Esther. Get some sleep… we are praying for all of you.
Much love,
Liz
Ask the Dalai Llama to intercede? How about the Pope? How about Obama?
I am not happy about your collective divorce- from reality.
Demons? Witches? Amulets? If only you could step back and see what this looks like.
I am happy to see you naming Ishtar- this is most in line with my views, as she is the goddess of lust and war.
If anyone is to blame for Arne re-evaluating his beliefs, it is me. Come get me. I double dare you.
No gods, no masters. Only reality.
And the reality is, you have gone WAY overboard. Yes, Arne is having some problems. Yes, he needs professional help. From someone who is not going to further confuse him with this ’spiritual’ or ‘religious’ BS.
Some day, you may be able to look back on this with clear eyes and the only thing you will be able to think is “How could we have been such idiots?”
Ben de Vries, do you have any influence with Joy Tang? Could you persuade her to release Arne to get the professional help that he obviously needs?
And who are you? Why are you to blame for Arne re-evaluating his thinking? Haven’t seen anyone accusing you of anything on this blog Ben. Your comment is of course interesting in respect to the fact that you believe in the goddess of lust and war. That’s sounds pretty much like the spirit governing Joy’s actions. Let’s ask Esther and see why the blog is called Ishtar’s News.
Re:ISHTAR
It was actually the kids on Eden Street who started calling me Ishtar (a local variant of my real name Esther), unaware of the Assyrian deity who goes by the same name. These days however, Nigerian influences have introduced them to the Hausa pronunciation of the woman I was name after; and these days, my “African name” is Esta.
Mr. de Fries,
You state that “If anyone is to blame for Arne re-evaluating his beliefs, it is me.” Clearly you are far more intimately involved and knowledgeable than other commentators. You know Arne and know Joy, having introduced them. You recognize that Arne is having some problems and needs professional help. You have even ” begged everyone privately to get this under control before it goes out of control, it’s present state.” Perhaps you are aware of resources that might assist with the goal of connecting Arne with that professional help. Perhaps you can once again “influence” him towards accepting what appears to be much needed assistance.
‘No gods, no masters. Only reality.’
All else is delusion. ‘Spirit controlling Joy’ you are SO full of it, Freeborn (aka troll). You just don’t get it. I wish I had a time machine so I could send you back to the dark ages where such beliefs are accepted. Welcome to the 21st century.
Joy is not ‘holding Arne’. To the best of my knowledge she does not own a cage.
Oneredhorse, yes I am terribly concerned, of course I have seen this behavior in a mid life crisis before. This also should help http://www.rickross.com/deprogramming.html
He should have got help a while back- I think the biggest obstacle really were people confusing the nature of the problem (mid life crisis vs. demonic possession).
“Yes, Arne is having some problems. Yes, he needs professional help. From someone who is not going to further confuse him with this ’spiritual’ or ‘religious’ BS.”
This is what Ben says. Isn’t this exactly what the family wants? Professional help, but not through amulettes, and spiritual transformation.
If indeed you are in the middle of this, why not influencing Joy to stop and reverse her hold on him, so he can get all what you are suggesting?
I do not believe any of this “demon amulet”-s but I am not laughing. I recognize that there are people who can be very easily influenced through all this. Especially, if Joy recognizes Arne’s weakened state, and uses that to achive what she wants.
So, please - if you are in the middle, influence her, to let this man go and get the help he needs.
G.
Esther, please - every so often, just a few words about you and your party’s well being, and the general state of the events.
G.
Gina: Joy does not want anything but for them to stop harassing her family and be left alone.
I know this will be hard to swallow after a stomach full of lies.
“reverse her hold on him” there is no hold, beyond his own unstable obsession http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive_love .
One might note that REJECTION is the most common trigger.
The whole occult malarkey is the word of the Garvis and Staffan, NOT joy. Let’s be clear about this.
It is my belief that it is THEY who are responsible for pushing Arne over the edge.
You reap what you sow. You have heard this, no?
Perhaps we should post the video of them holding him down and chanting? Did you ask them about that?
Speaking of trolls, here in Norway, we say:
Trolls dissolve when the sun shines on them. They don’t tolerate the light!
The Troll Lady will not stand that the sun shines on her much longer!
Thinking of you all,
Julie & Family
