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.

Let us not forget that before Tibet became a Buddhist country and nation, they were very rough ruthless barbarians who killed as well. We need to always look at things logically and to be impartial instead of bias.

So if the world did not have the good merits to received Tibetan Buddhism, then the causes will not be there to support it growth we are seeing today and basically you and me, will not even be on this website reading anything remotely Buddhism related. What I find fascinating is that everything the Tibetans are assuming and expecting of the Dalai Lama, the Dalai Lama is sort of doing the opposite, instead of creating the causes to be able to return to Tibet, He is actually creating the causes not. So as far as if He is Bodhisattva/ Buddha is concern, now would’t that very act a fact that He is in actuality more focused on getting Buddhism out to the world, which seems to be the case and going back Tibet is something secondary, which is Not so align with the Tibetans believe it or not. But all we know is, His actions seem to be yielding the opposite results.

If the Dalai Lama was playing a political game then with Chairman Mao, can he playing a game with Dorje Shugden? If I were to believe that he was trying to play the political bum to Chairman Mao, can he be playing the “spititual’ bum here with Dorje Shugden?

But, nothing can detract from the fact that Dorje Shugden instructed the Dalai Lama to leave Tibet when he did. The Chinese obviously did not expect that. So, can the Dalai Lama really be doing another maneuver playing a divine game that is yet to be played out?

I’m such an optimist!! lol…the glass is always half full…….

Why? Not because of justice, not because of who is good and who is bad, but simply because Mao more powerful, while Tibetans who practise Dorje Shugden are not.

If we conclude that the Dalai Lama made a mistake in his praises for Mao, then you are right, His Holiness is susceptible to making other mistakes. The Dorje Shugden ban could be a mistake, the teachings he has been disseminating could be a mistake, the advises he prescribe spiritual aspirants could be a mistake. This list will go on.

If the Dalai Lama can make mistakes, then every other Lama can also make mistakes. What would this mean for the entire Vajrayana tradition?

It would mean what China did was right because is the masters can make mistakes as fundamental as taking refuge in an evil spirit, then their basic refuge vows are broken. With broken refuge vows, all their works, teachings, initiation and empowerments are without the blessing to bestow attainments. All the statues consecrated are just empty shells. All the sangha are but lay men and women in robes. All the temples are but just another structure of shelter. This is if we conclude that the the Lamas can make a mistake.

So, my point is we need to take a step back and look at the long term consequences of the “mistake”. Today, Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) is more prosperous than ever with a wholesome education system and infrastructure to make life more comfortable in the hardy conditions of the mountain range. Today, Tibetan Buddhism flourished to various parts of the world, bringing this once unknown secret practice into the mainstream. Not only did Vajrayana pave way for international spiritual seekers to discover its potent teachings, this event also shed more light on the other traditions of Buddhism, i.e Theravadan and Mahayana. With such a potent religious “asset” in its helm, even China is finding ways to reconnect with its more religious side.

War is rampant in our day and age and with the disharmony surrounding Tibet, perhaps an invasion was inevitable. So, an invasion that would bring the maximum ultimate benefit would be like making the best situation out of the worst options.

So, Lamas can manifest mistakes so as to cause certain events to manifest. What is important as people with very limited view is to stay away from the politics and focus on the teachings and be patient to look at long term results.

Again, I do not mean to put down the lives who suffered greatly in Tibet and the world today because of the invasion but I hope that instead of fueling anger and hatred, we can harness forgiveness, wisdom and great appreciation for peace and harmony in their honor.

I am surprised that the Dalai Lama maintains his admiration for Chairman Mao even after what he did – as an aggressor and a colonist, so much harm was done to Tibet. To me, this shows that His Holiness is capable of bias, hence, I believe that His Holiness is trying to appease other Lamas and sects so he had to put down his own Gelugpa sect and tutors in a self-defeating way.

I do hope the Dalai Lama does not make mistake by continuing the Dorje Shugden ban. After all, he has already made ‘mistake’ in attributing his escape to Palden Lhamo, whatever reason it could be. The Chushi Gangdruk members and many people who went into exiled with His Holiness know that it was Dorje Shugden, so definitely they know the Dalai Lama had made a mistake, and to continue the ban is making a bigger mistake.

What has happened is so painful to read. The killings, cruelties and destruction is beyond words.

Indeed, it seems like the Dalai Lama has made a mistake by writing this hymn and I think more mistakes might have happened. The Dorje Shugden people still wait for a discussion and a resolution to the ban. The 14. Dalai Lama has written a praise to Dorje Shugden and later on he banned this practice with harsh consequences for the practitioners in all aspects of their life.

May the Dalai Lama revisit his orders on Dorje Shugden and the Dorje Shugden practitioners soon. May the Tibetan people soon be united again.

If anyone want to say Gyalwa Rinpoche is make the mistake about Mao then they should also say he make the mistake about Shugden . Maybe Gyalwa Rinpoche is wrong this time about Shugden also.
