So Trijang Rinpoche's prophecy and the bigger picture is coming to light now. As far-fetched as it may sound, it is coming true. After all, if we can believe in a four faced-twelve armed-blue deity called Heruka embracing a female- red-angry-consort to bring us to enlightenment, why not the bigger picture? The bigger picture is making more and more sense now. Everything is far-fetched yet nothing could be far-fetched. It is up to you. For me, the bigger picture makes sense. It will always make sense. The Dalai Lama can just mention once or twice about not practicing Shugden, but he doesn't. He repeats it almost 'obsessively'. He is doing something more. It's gotta be.
Dorje Shugden's practice can never be eliminated. Even if many of the Tibetans stop practicing, that will make very little difference. Many lay Tibetans study very little of the dharma anyway. It will be the non-Tibetans who will continue this practice and make Dorje Shugden spread. Dorje Shugden doesn't belong to the Tibetans anyway, like the dharma, it belongs to mankind. And many will continue to make it grow bigger with each generation.
The Dalai Lama made Dorje Shugden big by talking about him for the last few years. It was the same situation with Panchen Rinpoche. The Dalai Lama announced Panchen Rinpoche's incarnation and immediately he was gone. Dalai Lama should not have announced it and kept quiet. Similarily for Dorje Shugden's case, Dalai Lama should have kept quiet, then not many would know about Dorje Shugden and it will not be in the limelight. Now that Dorje Shugden is famous, the practice will continue to grow very big.
The Dalai Lama cannot NOT know the effects of him speaking against Shugden incessantly. He is bringing so much attention to Shugden on the world stage. After the illogical negative rumours die down and the dust settles about Shugden's practice being wrong, then people will investigate further and realize Shugden is a most holy practice. But unfortunately Dalai Lama will not be around to say anything anymore by that time. I am sorry to put it that way, and no offence to Dalai Lama whatsoever.
Because of the Dalai Lama, great Shugden institutions are springing up such as Shar Gaden and Serpom. Many in Kham area of Tibet with huge monasteries openly giving initiation of Shugden to thousands. Recently the earthquakes in the surrounding area of Denma Gonsa Monastery left thousands with faith in the once criticized Shugden as the buildings were left undamaged within the Monastery.
Denma Gonsa Monastery is famous for their practice of Shugden. Many buildings surrounding the Monastery in the villages collapsed, but the Monastery and Denma Gonsa Labrang remained totally intact. This silenced the villagers who were swayed by the Dalai Lama's rhetoric against Shugden. After the earthquakes and witnessing the Shugden practicing Monastery remaining intact and safe, the thousands of villagers in surrounding areas are silenced and many are now adopting the Shugden practice. Many reports are coming in from Tibet are saying so.

Many people (especially Tibetans) do not like this, but I will say it anyway!
Surely, with his attainments and clairvoyance, the Dalai Lama must know the rising, growing power of China and their increasing need for Dharma. (even without attainments and clairvoyance, any ordinary person can already deduce this!) it is set to be the world's next superpower and one with a fifth of the world's population.
The reasons that the Dalai Lama gave for the ban on DS is because it will harm his life and destroy the cause for Tibetan independence. it does not take much to put the two together. Of course, China want to do whatever they can to destroy the Dalai Lama and the cause for Tibetan Independence - it would make sense if they took up the practice, just to spite the Dalai Lama if nothing else.
Now there is much clear evidence that Dorje Shugden's practice is growing throughout China - the monasteries are widely promoting it (both in Tibet and in other parts of China). Even if only 1% of China does the practice, that is 10 million people! And with their rising influence in the world, it can likely spread even further.
so certainly, by DL saying something, it HAS GROWN.

I think that this bigger picture is also backed up by the fact that the Dalai Lama has deliberately not trained up a successor and has held political power in his hands all along. He knows the consequences of this - that when he passes away, there will be a vacuum. He is deliberately allowing this to happen. This will mean that when he is no more, there will be no credible and accepted TGIE.

Personally I am a Dorje Shugden practitioner, I wouldn't put the blame on His Holiness the Dalai Lama. His Holiness knows what is best for us and I trust Him with that.
We are the ones who have created the downfalls/ negative karma, and I just don't think it's fair to throw the blames on His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
His Holiness knows what is best for us and I trust Him with that.
Hence, it is not surprising that the Dalai Lama is promoting the Protector and in my opinion for those who are non Tibetans and those who are against Tibet and the Dalai Lama.
This is the true practice of equanimity.
If there wasn't a ban on Dorje Shugden from 1996 by HH the Dalai Lama, Buddhism would not have expounded to the Western countries, Europe and the rest of the world.
HH the Dalai Lama have done great service to the promotion of Buddhism to the world by bringing the attention on Dorje Shugden.
We may be Shugden practitioners but we do not criticise the works of highly enlightened beings like HH the Dalai Lama.
I too find this very true that if not for His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Dorje Shugden would not have become so big.
Dorje Shugden is a highly attained, divine and powerful Buddha and it is impossible for anyone to possibly eliminate him and his practice.
Even during the time of Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen, it was only because he purposely let 2 of the 5th Dalai Lama's attendants choke him by stuffing a Khata down his throat.
It is with credits to the Dalai Lama that Dorje Shugden is receiving global recognition and that we have this website bursting with information on Dorje Shugden, the ban and other related stories.
I believe the Dalai Lama put this ban in place as a way to ensure that as we go deeper in to the degenerate age of Buddhism, Dorje Shugden would be known worldwide and be of huge benefit to people who pay homage to Him.
Holding onto not criticising the monastic order, some of us though frustrated with the Ban hold onto this virtue.
Although this forum accepts all views, it is nice if sometimes we also be patient with another's point of view.
Seriously it is not about whether the ''monk'' is right or wrong but rather that our views and practise may be.
This post is true and if not for him, there would be nothing, or less.
I am sure there is more to the Dalai Lama because i believe this: say they were "working together" and all this is all to get into the attention of more people in the world and they are bouncing off each other to get higher and more awareness to Dorje Shugden.
Because that is my theory and it could be true because Dorje Shugden is very holy and it could all be a plan to get bigger.
That is just my theory and you can like it or not.
But it is all true, what is stated in the post.
If not for the Dalai Lama saying that Dorje Shugden is bad and speaking up about it as he is on such a big platform of fame for Dorje Shugden, then more people will speak up for Dorje Shugden, about the ban and more people will want to find our about Shugden only to find that it is so holy and the practice is amazing.
So it is just attracting people.
More people will look at this situation and more people will arise for Dorje Shugden.
The point is more people are following because of the Dalai Lama and more people are looking for the abuse that is happening to the Shugden people too.
It could all be a big ploy and DS and the Dalai Lama are "together" to grow or the Dalai Lama is just so silly to make his enemy grow and his abuse more obvious to the world.
Either way, the DS practice will not go away and will only grow, media or not.
As absurd as it may sound, Dorje Shugden practice has grown, spread far & wide, and become "famous" because of the controversial.
Many of the people come to know about the term Dharma Protector because of this conflict.
It is unfortunate that many have to suffer because of this though.
