Comments on: Why is the Dalai Lama suppressing religious freedom? http://www.dorjeshugden.com/controversy/articles-controversy/why-is-the-dalai-lama-suppressing-religious-freedom/ The Protector whose time has come Mon, 02 Mar 2026 18:35:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Camilia http://www.dorjeshugden.com/controversy/articles-controversy/why-is-the-dalai-lama-suppressing-religious-freedom/comment-page-1/#comment-205318 Camilia Sat, 18 Jun 2016 10:45:30 +0000 http://dorjeshugden.com/wp/?p=12806#comment-205318 The state of Tibetans in exile is a direct reflection of Dalai Lama’s work for the past 6 decades. The famous Free Tibet cause has been the cause of funding and monetary aids in the West for many decades. But where did the money go? We know things are not going well in the secular world under Dalai Lama’s leadership because news of embezzlement and other crimes are surfacing every now and then. The mortgage of the Prime Minister has been paid off, unexplained. Speaker of the House, Penpa Tsering was questioned for murder and embezzlement, yet still hold office in the government. Then, what about the spiritual world under Dalai Lama’s leadership? As a spiritual leader, peace, harmony and unity of the people of all faith under his care should be his priority. Or are we wrong? The fractions in the spiritual communities sprout up like mushroom after the rain. Here’s the list: the ban on Dorje Shugden practice, the ostracizing of Shugden lamas and monks from monastery, the controversial of Jonang Lineage, the division in Karma Kagyu because of the 2 Karmapas, and more recently, the restructuring of succession policy in Sakya lineage. No, I am NOT here to slander the Dalai Lama, nor cast doubts on his position as the highest lama in Tibet for I respect Dalai Lama as a high lama. But as a Shugden practitioner, I would like to peacefully request Dalai Lama to please relook at this policy. As the Tibetan leader in both secular and spiritual matter, Dalai Lama can resolve the Dorje Shugden issue, as well as other issue, if he wants.

We are in a degenerate age where hope is rare and dim while distractions to faith, aggression, violence, depression and confusion is gaining grasp on humanity. As said, with great power, comes great responsibility: influential individuals and organization have the responsibility to act in ways that shed more light and not the contrary. This is especially when the 14th Dalai Lama is being hypocritical in front of idealistic and hopeful students, the future generation. In addition to being mindful of his own actions, His Holiness should invite and ensure that the actions of his followers are aligned to his teachings. If one is unable to benefit others, then at the very least, do not cause harm. The behavior and actions of anti-Shugden advocates shows lack of consciousness or virtue and should be revised urgently to protect and uphold hope and faith during these challenging times of humanity.
