Since you started the cruel ban against the 350 year Dorje Shugden practice, how has it benefit your Tibetan society and Buddhism in the world? Things have become worse and most educated Tibetans can see this. They don’t speak out not because they don’t see your ban as wrong, but you instill fear in them and not respect. It is like fear of a dictator. I am sorry to say so. Everyone is divided. There is no harmony. Before your ban there was more harmony and unity.

By enacting the ban, you split the monasteries, split so many families, split regions in Tibet apart, split your disciples from you, split your own gurus from you, split Tibetan Buddhism apart. You have created so much disharmony.

It is not democratic what you have done to ban a religion within your community. You always talk of tolerance and acceptance and democracy and yet you do not accept and tolerate something different from your beliefs. When people practice Dorje Shugden you ostracize them, ban them from seeing you, ban them from using Tibetan facilities. You know you have done that. There are videos that capture your speech and prove this point. You even had people expelled from monasteries just because they practice Dorje Shugden. Some of the monks you expelled have been in the monastery for over 40 years. Many older monks shed tears because of this.

Many young educated Tibetans lost confidence in you as they saw the damage the Dorje Shugden ban created and they lose hope. Many have become free thinkers. They reject what you have done. So many people in the west left Buddhism because of the confusion you created with this ban against Dorje Shugden which is immoral.

You could of had millions of people who practice Dorje Shugden to support, love and follow you, but you scared them away. They are hurt and very disappointed. They loved you and respected you deeply before the ban. It has been 60 years and you have failed to get Tibet back. Your biggest failure is not getting Tibet back after 57 years in exile. Now you are begging China to allow you to return to Tibet to the disappointment of thousands of people who fought for a free Tibet believing in you. So many self-immolated for a free Tibet and now you want Tibet to be a part of China with no referendum from Tibetans. Just like a dictator, you decide on your own. It was your government and you that lost Tibet in the first place. Your policies and style of doing things do not benefit Tibet and Buddhism. You have been the sole ruler of Tibet your whole life and you still have not gotten our country of Tibet back for us. Our families and us are separated. Yet you create more pain by creating a ban to further divide people. Please have compassion.

No other Buddhist leader has banned or condemned any religion except for you. It looks very bad. You are a Nobel laureate and this is not fitting of a laureate. You should unite people and not separate them by religious differences.

You said Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi did not do right to the Rohingya people in Myanmar due to religious differences, but you are doing the same thing to the Shugden Buddhists within your own society. There is a parallel in this. You separate the Shugden Buddhists from the others in Tibetan society.

You have lost so many people who would have loved and supported you. You have lost so much support around the world. The Shugden Buddhists who love you number in the millions. When you are fast losing support from governments and private people, it will not do you well to lose more.

After you are passed away in the future, the rift you created between the Dorje Shugden and non-Dorje Shugden people will remain for a while and that will be your legacy. Disharmony. You will be remembered for this. Not as a hero but a disharmony creator.

Dorje Shugden will spread and further grow, but you will be no more as you are a human. No one wishes you bad and in fact we hope you have a long and healthy life, but we have lost so much hope and have so much despair because of you. All the hundreds of Dorje Shugden lamas, tulkus and geshes are maturing and there are hundreds of Dorje Shugden monasteries in Tibet who will not give up Dorje Shugden. You have made a mistake. These hundreds of teachers and teachers to be will spread Dorje Shugden further in the future.

The gurus that gave us Dorje Shugden as a spiritual practice and you have called these holy gurus wrong and they are mistaken in giving us Dorje Shugden. How can you insult our gurus whom we respect so much? If they can be wrong, then you can be wrong. Then all gurus can be wrong. So no one needs to listen to any guru? You have created this trend. It is not healthy. Your own gurus practiced Dorje Shugden their whole lives. Your own gurus were exemplary and highly learned.

Dalai Lama you have created so much pain with this ban against so many people due to religion. You are ageing fast. Are you going to do anything about it or stay stubborn, hard and un-moving. You show a smile and preach peace and harmony wherever you go. But will you do the same to your own people? Please rectify the wrong you have done. Please before it is too late. You can create harmony again or you can pass away in the future with this legacy of peace. May you live long and think carefully and admit what was a mistake in having this unethical ban against Dorje Shugden religion.

Samaya is relationship and because conciousness is rooted in space we allways have this samaya with space but if we ignore reality then our relationship becomes impure. To have a wise and compassionate relationship/samaya with all other beings we need wisdom an compassion that comes from a pure samaya with space.

Therefore ones own samaya with space is important.

OM + AH = RA PA -> TSA NA = DHI

You unify your conciousness with AH and therby you destroy the Illusions Ignorance, Duality, eternalistic and nihilistic views, thoughts and emotions so that your own wisdom and compassion can arise.

Space is Lama, so you unify your conciousness with the Lama (Space) to purify your samaya with space in order to be able to purify your samaya with all beings.

Just like what is being said, this actually creates schism between the sangha members and Buddhist practitioners. It is one of the deadly sins of Buddhism that would led us to the 16 levels of hell. Hence, why does the Dalai Lama or CTA even do so. If, they say that there is no ban and no schism created, it is not true to that.

There is a ban on Shugden practice, people are not being able to practice this practice that has been passed down by their gurus that may have already entered clear light. Hence, it should not be wrong if they do not swear in because it is a practice that is being given by their gurus and they cannot seek permission from their guru due to the passing of their guru. It only corners these monks into a corner not knowing what they should be doing as the practice is being passed down from their gurus and it is only right for them to be practicing it.

Then, why would the Dalai Lama be committing such a sin when he is considered as Avalokiteshvara? He would know that it is wrong. Hence, why still say that by doing Dorje Shugden practices would harm his life?

However, in the case of the Protector Dorje Shugden practice, this article has clearly pointed out some very important & illogical explanation that the Dalai Lama & the CTA has falsely given in order to support their reasons for the ban. Due to this advise, many has suffer & are forced into breaking their samaya with their gurus, having to choose between their commitments, beliefs & the Dalai Lama to whom they placed dearly to their hearts.

Having faith in one’s belief is important in spiritual practice but it is essential that this faith is supported by proper understanding & logic not just blind faith. The Buddha has not asked his followers to just follow what he said but to study, understand & practice in order to gain liberation. I sincerely hope that this article will be beneficial to those who do not fully understand the reasons behind the illegal ban & help them to make a wiser choice in their spiritual journey.

Thank you Admin for this thought provoking post.

What is said in this article is very true. Provoking and bring some sense to this situation. How come only the Dalai Lama is important and not your other guru?

This clarification is quite liberating. However, it would NOT mean that I can now be rude or disrespectful towards the Dalai Lama because Dharma practice to to be applied to all at every moment in everything we do.

It is saddening that the action of His Holiness to ban Dorje Shugden’s practice seem to imply that he puts himself above all others, which contradicts the code of conduct of highly attained masters who always display humility at all times.

I hope that this article will clarify matters and free those who are suffering from confusion and guilt as to what they should do.
