Lama Zopa’s advice on the importance of not breaking samaya with the teacher but how can one agree with the Dorje Shugden ban where the practitioners received the practice from their Guru and Dalai Lama is asking the practitioners to denounce the practice which is as good as denouncing their guru. This goes the same as Lama Zopa and his guru, Lama Yeshe. So since Lama Zopa supports the ban, will his teaching, initiation, prayers carry the blessing and whether it’s still authentic since he has denounced his guru?

I cannot understand how can FPMT reject Dorje Shugden practice which is given by their Lama. Lama Yeshe is the founder and it’s so blessed that the students received the practice from the great lama and also the founder. Lama Yeshe himself holds the lineage and is authentic.

Since now the students have rejected the practice is as good as rejected the lama himself because how can the Lama be wrong only for certain practices? The most important point here is that how can the students say the Lama is wrong? If the student is so great then they don’t need the Guru then. And since Lama Yeshe is rejected then what lineage is FPMT based on? Can a center stand without a lineage or can the center choose what they want to follow and reject the one they don’t from a Guru?

Why can’t lamas just use their real names? These pretentious names are very frustrating to keep track of.

Did you know Lama Osel is more like a new-age instructor than a Buddhist master now. He is not really teaching Buddhism but meditation to the public. The students of FPMT have broken their Samaya with Lama Osel, that is why he is not going back to continue to turn the wheel of Dharma.

Maybe it is because he wants to protect people, knowing not many people will understand what guru devotion is, it is probably better not to have any spiritual student. Hence, Lama Osel turns to using new age way to teach people about our mind and be responsible to beings around us.

It is such a pity that in this current life, Lama Osel is not able to manifest as a great Buddhist teacher. Students in FPMT should really look into why they are not able to get their teacher back to the centre to teach. Lama Zopa is also getting older, he needs a successor to continue to manage and lead FPMT.

I found FPMT to be quite commercialised. Did you know they charge USD5000 for a course? This is a lot of money. If they are set up to spread and preserve Dharma, shouldn’t they consider charging less? Not everyone can afford to pay so much for a class.

To give up the practice given to them by Lama Yeshe is a form of broken Samaya. If the Samaya is broken,
they are many things that we can’t do because there is no more lama’s blessing.

FPMT gave up Dorje Shugden practice so they can be politically correct and things will be easier for them. For their own comfort, they can betray their teacher and their spiritual practice. This is a very bad behaviour and example set for other spiritual practitioners.

“The main thrust of Lama Zopa’s message seems to be pure devotion to the guru. His advice is that students should hold on to a “pure vision” of the guru and not see the teacher as anything but perfect even when the guru manifests an error.”

This must be a joke from Lama Zopa.
What Lama Zopa saying here contradict with his action. Lama Yeshe practices Dorje Shugden but FPMT disowns Lama Yeshe for the practice and also condemn other lamas and center for practicing Dorje Shugden.

How Lama Zopa gives his teaching to his students when she has disowned his guru and look at what happened Lama Osel (Lama Yeshe incarnation) where he doesn’t come back to teach. Obviously, the students have broken the samaya with the Guru. All this is very obvious and I don’t know why Lama Zopa doesn’t want to mend it and how actually FPMT give teaching where they don’t have the blessing from their lineage Guru? or I should ask where is FPMT lineage come from? It cannot be from Lama Yeshe because he practices Dorje Shugden and that is what FPMT is having an issue with. If there is no lineage mean the teacing is not authentic and how can people learn?

Something to really to about……..

Hahaha! So true! Lobsang Sangay and his CTA has absolutely no control over what his people do. More and more are visiting Dorje Shugden related websites and learning the truth about Lobsang Sangay's lies. Soon CTA's words will always be doubted and never trusted. No more power! No more control! 😂😂😂

Guess what!!! I heard from a grapevine that some Sakya monks in Nepal are visiting Dorje Shugden related websites. Hahaha!! The Tibetan leaders have no control at all and can’t stop them. More and more will do the same and soon people will know the truths to stop believing in CTA’s lies. Whatever CTA says, the people will doubt. No more control! No more power!😂😆😂

I really don’t mind if Lama Zopa has slurred speech. in fact I respected him for continue to turn the wheel of Dharma even after his stroke. However, what I can’t accept is why he always support those who have problems? Dorje Shugden ban is one thing, cover up for criminal is worse.

It is really heart-warming to know that there is still someone who did not give up Dorje Shugden practice and keep his commitment with Lama Yeshe. Lama Yeshe worked so hard to build Kopan Monastery with the assistance from Dorje Shugden but his students gave up the practice just to look good and so they can have an easy life.

Not only did they give up the practice, they also criticise how bad Dorje Shugden practice is forgetting how Dorje Shugden had helped them to manifest their Dharma centre. After Dagri Rinpoche’s sex scandal is exposed, we can clearly see how corrupted and hypocritical FPMT is, they are slowly going downhill.

By giving up Dorje Shugden practice, they have broken their samaya with Lama Yeshe and also lost the blessings from the lama. They are starting to suffer from the consequence now, more negative consequence will come, they better be prepared for it.
