They do not even know if the things and method if they are practicing is correct. These are all passed down to them. It is true that it is a test for them as they do not stay in the monastery full time, doing things that monks should be doing all the time. They have to be involved in secular work and politics as well. With all these extra things for them to do, if their minds are not strong, they will be easily influenced to not do their practices. Hence, not being able to keep their vows. Especially with all the temptations around them, while they are not in a good environment to practice. In my opinion, it would be great if there are some high lamas that would go into Mongolia to teach the monks there so that the past glory of the religion can be restored. With the US giving money to a Dorje Shugden monastery it shows that Dorje Shugden has made some impact on the US government in a positive way. If this is not the case, I believe that the Dorje Shugden monastery would not receive any fund to rebuild their monastery.
