Long Life Puja for Gyudmed Kensur and Lama Jampa Ngodup
High lamas like Gyudmed Kensur and Lama Jampa Ngodup have worked tirelessly for the benefit of others their entire lives, as they probably did in their previous incarnations. Therefore, it makes good sense that these precious and beneficial lamas’ lives should remain long, because the longer they live and manifest their works, the more sentient…
Tibetan Buddhism: Erosion From Within Or Without?
By: Shashi Kei For centuries Tibet has been associated with the Buddha’s teachings and its reference as The Rooftop Of The World indicates its mythical status as the one place on earth where a person can get closest to the Buddhist heavens. It follows that the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and one-time temporal head of…
Tribute to Lama Jampa Ngodup Rinpoche

The Broken Samayas of FPMT
FPMT has broken a very strong samaya by giving up Lama Yeshe’s practice of Dorje Shugden. Dorje Shugden was the one that worked hand in hand with Lama Yeshe to obtain land for Kopan, find sponsors, build, and increase their centers around the world. Furthermore, H.H. Zong Rinpoche and H.H. Trijang Dorje Chang were the…

Recognizing Tulkus
When news first broke on the DorjeShugden.com website about the incarnation of Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen being among us, the forum broke out in storm. Many were skeptical, even critical of the possibility and much doubt was cast.

Nothing is Black and White
Views on how the ban is making Dorje Shugden bigger in the world We are often stuck with ideas of right and wrong, black and white etc. Differentiation is not bad; what is more important is the wisdom to be able to discern things. The problem is that once we have taken a position, we…

So what if Britain didn’t want to meet the Dalai Lama?
While the fight for Tibet’s freedom continues to burn passionately throughout Tibetan communities across the world, it is becoming more and more evident that their actions and words may be doing more damage than good for themselves. Recently, there has been much attention given to the revelation that the British Prime Minister had banned his…
Self-immolations and the fight for true freedom
With the recent spate of self-immolations across Tibet, attention has inevitably turned again towards the Tibetans’ precarious position as they champion their continued cause for autonomy. And what of freedom? The Chinese claim that the self-immolations and ensuing unrest are masterminded by the Dalai Lama; the Tibetans living outside the mother country attribute the self-immolations…
Continuing the Legacy of Dorje Shugden

Practicing Dorje Shugden is not Betraying the Dalai Lama
We should not give up our practice of Dorje Shugden and we should create awareness of this sacred practice among the general public as best as we can. If we have received benefit and help from Dorje Shugden, we should bring this sacred connection and practice to many more, so that they too can be…
Enlightened Path, Enlightened Tulkus
If any of the Oracles of Dorje Shugden recognizes a Tulku (an incarnated Lama), we should trust and believe in their recognition and in the tulkus all the way. If there was no use for the Tulku system, Dorje Shugden would not entertain any inquiries. Also, if the Tulku system was damaging, Dorje Shugden would…
Have the Lamas Made a Terrible Mistake?
By logical debate, if these lineage lamas can be wrong, then the Dalai Lama could be manifesting wrong. Since Dalai Lama says they are wrong, he is ‘allowing’ to say he could be wrong by his disciples. Anyone and everyone could be wrong. If that is the case, it is very damaging for samaya. If…
Internet unveils illegal ban
In March 1996, His Holiness the Dalai Lama banned the popular Buddhist Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden.

A Tribute to His Holiness the 3rd Kyabje Penor Rinpoche
At the height of the ban on Dorje Shugden in the late 1990s, Tibetan communities throughout India lived constantly under the fear of witchhunts.
