Kundeling-3

Tribute to H.E. the 13th Kundeling Rinpoche

By: Harry Nephew Since the Dorje Shugden controversy struck the Tibetan community, there has been no peace for those affected by the ban.

TrijangRinpoche3

A Tribute to His Holiness Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche

Whenever we speak of Buddhism, we cannot avoid the names of a few Masters who achieved such tremendous feats that Buddhism will probably not be what it is today without their contribution.

Contemplate This

.…Instead of turning away people who practise Dorje Shugden, we should be kind to them. Give them logic and wisdom without fear, then in time they give up the ‘wrong’ practice. Actually Shugden practitioners are not doing anything wrong. But hypothetically, if they are, wouldn’t it be more Buddhistic to be accepting? So those who have views against Dorje Shugden should contemplate this. Those practicing Dorje Shugden should forbear with extreme patience, fortitude and keep your commitments. The time will come as predicted that Dorje Shugden’s practice and it’s terrific quick benefits will be embraced by the world and it will be a practice of many beings.
