The CTA on hand they claims there is no ban and discrimanation against Dorje Shugden Practioneer but at same time publishes a list with names and pictures of People who have allegedly demonstrated against the Dailai Lama.

The CTA claims to be democratic but at same time tramples on the right to freedom of opinion.

The CTA claims wants to resolve the Tibetan issue through dialogue with China but is not ready for dialogue with Dorjey Shugden Practioneer.

The list of contradictions could go on for pages… but will stop here…

There are so many similarities. Firstly, both leaders are dictators. Secondly, Satanic Verses was a fiction, it all happens in the dream of somebody who is losing their mind. In the case of the ban, the practice of Dorje Shugden has a lineage going back to the time of the 5th Dalai Lama. So why persecute the innocent on a fiction or something that has a lineage?? Thirdly, the Iranian dictator called on all zealous Muslims to execute the author and publishers whereas the Tibetan dictator not only wants to persecute the Lamas but any Tibetan who practices Dorje Shugden. Buddhism is supposed to embody peace, harmony and forgiveness but is now not any different than Islamic fundamentalists .

Well at least in 1998, with the new Iranian regime, they probably came to their senses, realised that their foreign relations and commercial contacts have been paralysed by this taboo imposed by their late dictator hence Iran’s Foreign Minister said his government did not intend to track down the writer and carry out the death sentence issued by the late Ayatollah Khomeini. The Minister even proclaimed, after a meeting in New York with his British counterpart, Robin Cook, that the Iranian government dissociated itself from the $2.5m bounty placed on Mr Rushdie’s head by a radical religious foundation in Iran.

As for the Dalai Lama and CTA, will they ever realise that their foreign contacts who support their cause for peace, non violence and freedom is now realising that it is all a guise? The sooner they lift the ban, the better it is for them before they loose all respect, foreign funding and worse of all a bad name for Buddhism.

What is more baffling is, putting the Dorje Shugden issue aside, what these practitioners are doing is practice Guru Devotion, which I understand to be the foundation to Vajrayana Buddhism. Afterall, we were taught to view the Guru to be most precious because it is the Guru who connect us to the pure teachings of Lord Buddha.

It is the renowned Dharma masters like Trijang Rinpoche and Zong Rinpoche who have upheld and passed on the practice of Dorje Shugden to us, and now….they have taken good rebirth to return to us to continue turning the Wheel of Dharma. So, it is clear that these great masters could not be teaching impure practices because they were great back then and they have taken rebirth to continue their Dharma work.

I sincerely hope that this barbarianism would end with the lifting of a ban.
