The Kashag said it's okay for me to quit because they never wanted me as part of them anyway. Remember when I got rejected as a Kalon and removed from the Kashag due to my age?
Anyway, I care more about my own future and prospects, more than I care about the Tibetan people's future.
As a career academician-turn-politician, Lobsang Sangay wants me to get out of Dharamsala as soon as possible so our affair does not add to the causes for his downfall.
I learned many valuable lessons which I'll cherish for a lifetime, such as how it is best to not waste public money on stupid campaigns against Shugden people because it'll only turn around to bite me in the backside. By the way, this was under the leadership of Lobsang Sangay, it's his fault I did all that.
There's nothing further I can do as Information Secretary of the DIIR because in actuality, the Dalai Lama is the one in charge and he's the one who sets the tone. But regardless, I'd still like to be paid for the role although I will now be staying (and vacationing) in the USA.
As a Tibetan, I will live in America and pay my yearly contribution for my green book so I can pretend I am still Tibetan.
Disingenuously,
Dhardon Sharling
HAHAHAHA what a way for Dhardon Sharling to say lots of things without actually saying anything meaningful at all. This is my alternative version of her letter, paragraph by paragraph, deciphering for you what she is actually saying:QuoteThe Kashag said it's okay for me to quit because they never wanted me as part of them anyway.

On top of that, he has two of his lackeys propping up his exploitation and abuse of our community.
Yes! The news of Dhardon Sharling resignation is FANTASTIC NEWS! This is because she along with her department of information in Dharamsala are full of people who funded and arranged for a publication of a thick book criticising Dorje Shugden with print run of thousands of copies and distributed them all over. She did the launched of the book AGAINST DORJE SHUGDEN herself. At the launch, she was so proud. This means that all the negative karma arising from causing schism and disharmony came back to her and she somehow she cannot remain in office.
So Dhardon Sharling's resignation is excellent news arising from the negative karma ripening from the publication of this horrible book. This will make others rather not do this.
You know whats funny? THERE HAD BEEN MANY TWEETS SENT OUT THIS YEAR DEMANDING HER TO RESIGN. The tweets are meant to make her feel ashamed of the terrible schism and disharmony she created through the launch of this book. There are hundreds of angry tweets sent to her demanding that she resign? She was asked hundreds of times to resign. This looks like she is finally getting it !!! LOL!
After Tenzin Palkyi and Dhardon Sharling has resigned, the question is: WHO IS THE NEXT PERSON GOING TO RESIGN?!? The timing of these 2 resigning is too coincidental with the sex allegations. Are we seeing just the tip of the iceberg?! Is it because Tenzin Palkyi and Dhardon Sharling know there are more scandals are coming and they are leaving to avoid questions?!
This news is all over social media! Turns out the Sikyong has been alleged to have had affairs with over 7 different women! Check out what is said on social media! And they are going to expose him soon!
CTA Information Secretary Dhardhon Sharling resigns
Phayul[Thursday, December 13, 2018 15:24]
By Tenzin Sangmo
DHARAMSHALA, Dec. 13: The DIIR Information Secretary (Equivalent) Ms Dhardhon Sharling has resigned from her post, drawing much speculation in the exiled Tibetan Diaspora.
On a call with Phayul last Sunday, Sharling gave the same reason for her resignation as she cited in her blog post published yesterday.
The blog post says that she is resigning to rejoin school this spring semester beginning January 22, 2019, to continue her study (PhD in Communication at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst). “Failing to do so might jeopardize my admission and funding from the school, both of which have been on a continuous enrolment since September 2016,” she writes.
She wrote that she has completed the two-year contract with DIIR (October 2016-October 2018) as a Special Appointee.
She said that the Tibetan president (Sikyong) fully supports her resuming her doctorate studies and expressed her confidence in being able to contribute to the cause better after completing her studies.
Her resignation becomes effective January 11, 2019
In the meantime, speculation is rife that Sharling could be resigning to testify as a witness for Case No. 20, between the Tibetan president Lobsang Sangay and former North America envoy Penpa Tsering.
Penpa Tsering filed a defamation case in the Tibetan Supreme Justice Commission (SJC) in Dharamshala this May for “false accusations” against him in ousting him from the post of representative of the office of Tibet in Washington DC by Sangay’s administration in November last year.
The Kashag had cited Sharling’s confiding in Sikyong of Penpa Tsering’s advice not to join the Sangay’s administration as one of the ten reasons for sacking Penpa Tsering.
In a new development in case no. 20, the Tibetan Supreme Justice Commission (SJC) has asked the CTA president to rewrite the written statement as per SJC’s instruction.
However, a Tibetan legal expert confirmed that it is not necessary for Sharling to resign if she is to testify in the case.
It is also learned that Sharling has confided in close friends a long time ago that she wants to resume her academic career.
Tibetan Prez asked to rewrite the written statement in case no. 20
Phayul[Wednesday, December 12, 2018 18:58]

DHARAMSHALA, Dec. 12: In a new development in the case no. 20 between former North America Representative Penpa Tsering and the Tibetan President Lobsang Sangay, the Tibetan Supreme Justice Commission (SJC) instructed Sangay to edit out the arguments not relevant to the case and submit another statement following the instruction of the SJC’s letter.
The written statement was due on November 20th after completing the six months’ extension granted after the original stipulated time of three months.
It can be deduced from the letter that the written statement was submitted on November 30th.
The letter dated December 7, 2018 surmises the content of the written statement and points out the argument in the statement asserting the authority of Kashag to appoint representatives to offices of Tibet is not necessary as the plaintiff had specified in the petition that he is not challenging the Kashag’s authority.
It also urges the defendant to be mindful when referring to articles of Tibetan Civil Procedural Code in order to make relevant arguments.
The letter instructs the defendant to not mix the continuous association of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s name with the offices of Tibet with article 19(1) of Public Service Commission Guideline and article 5(2) of Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) Administrative Guidelines.
The letter makes note of the fact that His Holiness the Dalai Lama had abdicated his political and administrative power on 29/05/2011 with the 25th amendment to the Charters of Tibetan government-in-exile, known officially as the Central Tibetan Administration. “Article 19 of the charter assigns the President with full administrative power, and article 20 assigns President led Kashag to carry out the administrative duties,” asserts the letter.
Surmising the instruction, the letter states, "Although His Holiness the Dalai Lama continues to bless and guide the administration, his symbolic presence cannot be mixed with responsibilities to adhere to the guidelines of the administration."
The Tibetan Supreme Justice Commission gave the deadline of January 15th, 2019, for the defendant to respond with a new statement that requires it to be concluded by acknowledging the Tibetan Supreme Justice Commission’s instruction and promising to uphold its rules.
Former North America Representative Penpa Tsering filed a legal case against the Kashag over its decision to release him from duty as the North America Representative of the Office of Tibet last year.
Asked if his move could lead to more discord within the exile Tibetan community, Tsering said there was no reason for any discord just because of his taking the matter to the Tibetan Supreme Justice Commission. "There are two options to prevent discord if any, one of the Kashag taking its responsibility or the court clearing this matter," Tsering told reporters on May 18.
The Tibetan cabinet (Kashag) earlier last year said that ousting of North America Representative Penpa Tsering was solely due to his "failure to assume his duties appropriately and in the manner befitting of the office, as seen by the Kashag." Tsering was replaced replaced by Education Minister Ngodup Tsering in December 2017.
Following the official notice Nov. 7, 2017, the incident sparked debates and discussions within the Tibetan diaspora with some saying the mood was akin to the campaign season disarray that was witnessed in the run up to the Tibetan general elections.
The former Speaker of the Tibetan parliament refuted all the allegations against him saying they were “false, incomplete and manipulative,” at a press conference on December 6, 2017. He said that while the executive body of the Central Tibetan Administration led by Dr. Lobsang Sangay has the authority to terminate him, he rejects the allegations which he said was an “attempt to malign his image.”
The row over the termination of Penpa Tsering’s tenure in Washington office began on Nov. 7 when the Kashag made a public announcement that former education minister Ngodup Tsering would be the new NA envoy. Later the Kashag made public a 10-point statement which cited growing “performance and trust deficit” as well as “insubordination” by Penpa Tsering.
The row became one of the most widely discussed issues within the Tibetan community on social networking and microblogging websites.
Re: Dhardon Sharling's resignation excuse:
I don't want to sound like I am looking for the negative, but Dhardon's excuse to resign sounds too simple and covering something.
1. When she took on her position in CTA, she was supposed to take on something even longer in time, challenging and a much bigger portfolio. She was trying to wiggle her way into the parliament. In parliament the time span would have been much longer. Because of her age restriction, Sikyong Lobsang Sangay couldn't pull the strings to get her in legally so he created the information position for her so as not to lose face. As a parliament member she would have had to work in Dharamsala for a much longer time and she would have known about her studies, timing and schedule inclusive of funding before she tried to be a parliament member. So why quit now? Why is school suddenly an issue nowadays ? Naturally that is not the real reason.
2. In the information department Dhardon Sharling was not effective. Only working for two years, what did she accomplish? She 'threw' together some unspiritual 'geshes' who needed money and fame, a few printers and editors and got a book against Dorje Shugden practice together to 'please' Dalai Lama and look good and by speaking against Dorje Shugden people. She spent so much of public money on a book to segregate her own people using religion. How ridiculous is that? She wants all Tibetans who practice Dorje Shugden to not be allowed to integrate into mainstream Tibetans based on their religion. What kind of democracy is that? Fake Democracy. She couldn't get what she wanted which is more money, fame and power and that is why she is quitting mid-term.
Dhardon Sharling says:
"My resignation comes in light of few compelling circumstances that have made it imperative for me to resume my studies (PhD in Communication at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst). I will rejoin school this spring semester beginning January 22, 2019. Failing to do so might jeopardize my admission and funding from school, both of which have been on a continuous enrollment since September 2016."
Studying in the US, she should know how precious religious freedom is. How can someone who studies in the US not know you do not discriminate others due to their religion? Yet she can produce a book to give reason to discriminate against a religion and the people that practice it. She is guilty of segregation due to prejudice against another's faith. Her teaming up with Lobsang Sangay was a big mistake. She accomplished nothing 'under' his 'leadership'.
3. For the rest of her life, she will be haunted by the book she arranged against someone's religion and segregated so many people within her own people. She made a big deal to promote the book when it came out hoping for fame and limelight and recognition which she didn't get. For every person that reads this book she and her dept arranged and it creates doubt, anger, bias and prejudice in their minds, she will collect the negative karma as the cause of it and this karma will return to her. She will experience much disharmony for the rest of her life. Her own life will not be smooth, or filled with peace and her aims on the ultimate level will be difficult to fulfill. Wherever she goes and whatever she does, she will be remembered as the woman who worked in the information dept of Tibetan exile government who was the driving force behind writing a book that segregates and separates her own Tibetan people for the rest of her life. Shame.
She should offer Khata to Dorje Shugden and sincerely apologize to purify the negative karma she has accummulated in hurting the sentiments of so many people. She knows nothing about Buddhism or Dorje Shugden and she can produce such a negative undemocratic book. She should apologize to Dorje Shugden.
4. She does nothing for Tibetan freedom. For the freedom of Tibet. She goes to do her studies, get a job, earn money and hope to just be comfortable and relax. She does not fight for a Tibetan cause. She is only concerned for herself. Selfish.
She says, "As a Tibetan, I will continue to hold the cause of Tibet close to my heart and make every use of opportunity in academia and in life to further our collective cause. I am confident that completing my studies will enable me to contribute to the cause in a much bigger, impactful manner."
This is doubtful. She has the opportunity now while the Dalai Lama is alive to do something about the Tibetan cause. She is in Dharamsala all this time to do something. But she has done nothing. Being the person who wanted power, limelight and prestige, she couldn't get this in Dharamsala, so she is leaving. Being the person whose motivation was never genuine, she shows who she is by resigning. Resigning while the Dalai Lama is still alive and could do something for Tibet but she does not.
Too bad
(photo- Launch of the book she headed to put down Dorje Shugden practice and to segregate Dorje Shugden people from mainstream Tibetan society. There is so little Tibetans in India already and instead of uniting them, she segregates them further using religion which she knows nothing about. Shame on Dhardon Sharling.
Dhardon Sharling's interview by Uni of Mass. Amherst:
"I feel that I am a part of the struggle; not just the part that pertains specifically to Tibetans but also to the bigger, wider world. And if I wanted to make a difference in that struggle and other conflicts in the world, I felt that I needed to be a part of that institution, and the best way for me to do that was to represent my people and become a voice for them. All of this was possible through being elected to Parliament, and I thought that being a part of the decision making process would be a huge accomplishment in life".

I am just amazed that Lobsang Sangay is hanging on to his position, with such shamelessness. His people and those on the international arena know of how he preys on young beautiful girls and use his position to coerce them or assaulted them. I don't think that Dhardon Sharling is an innocent party as she would have known of his playboy attitude. After all, she is one that he snagged and wow, how she fell for him to do all those incredibly negative things that harmed so many people. She was supposed to bring harmony to her people but instead, she creates further discrimination and persecution by spearheading the book against enlightened Dorje Shugden and his practices. How much harm had this book caused the practitioners, who received the practice from their Guru and deemed unbreakable due to Guru Devotion which brings higher attainments in spiritual practice? Where is the freedom to practice our own preferred religion? Definitely good riddance to Dhardon Sharling and hopefully Lobsang Sangay soon to follow...
I wonder how is Dhardon Sharling going to serve Tibet cause better with her academic result? She has stopped her study for so long and now only continue, and she continues just because her lover advice her to do so, not really out of her own willingness or initiative.
She never did a good job while she is in office, she denied the religious freedom of Tibetan people by publishing anti-Shugden book. She never provides balance information to her fellow Tibetans, she spreads negative and fake info about Dorje Shugden practice.
Now she wants to leave to further her study while so many Tibetans are still not able to have a better living standard, not achieving much in the land of India and not able to go back to Tibet as the Tibetan leaders always claimed.
Be a leader without not much performance or charaisma never mind, but can you not involve in any scandal as such, not doing something curb the freedom of speech and religion of Tibetans, and make Tibetans feel so shameful of???
This is too much Dhardon Sharling. Enough is enough, please never never use Tibet cause as any of your excuse to gain something. If you can keep to others that you are a Tibetan would be even better.
Interesting timing for Dhardon to be resigning (with the news of Lobsang Sangay’s sex scandals broke out in open). After all, surely Penpa Tsering would have first made the request for her to leave way back when the fiasco was still on going (if indeed that is the reason for her resignation) but then the resignation only materialized now. Penpa Tsering told her don't work with Losang Sangay as she will regret it but she didn't listen. She is not innocent. She thought she can use Losang Sangay to get money and power and fame. But he has other female friends who performed better than her. So she is disgruntled and quit. These are the people working in Dharamsala right under the Dalai Lama's nose and they dare do all this. No wonder Tibetans can never get Tibet back from China. China grows stronger by the day and the loser Tibetans get weaker and weaker.
Tibetans will never be successful on their own. They need to leech off another country to get whatever they need.
It is good news Dhardon and Tenzin Palkyi (Office of Tibet-Washington) both quit. They were horrible in their job and they are not nice people at all. Tibetans do not respect nor like them at all. Anyways Tibetan government in exile is only getting worse. Karma returning back for all the harms they did.

"Dhardon Sharling submits resignation letter"
Tibetan Sun
By Lobsang Wangyal
ON THE WEB, 12 December 2018
Information Secretary of Central Tibetan Administration, Dhardon Sharling, has submitted her resignation letter to leave the administration of Lobsang Sangay, reliable sources told Tibet Sun.
Letter was submitted on 7 December but her resignation will be effective in the first week of January as CTA rules requires a one-month notice from their employees.
Rumour mills are rife with speculation that she has been asked by Sangay to testify in the on-going case filed against him by former Representative of the Office of Tibet, Washington DC, Penpa Tsering.
Penpa Tsering filed a defamation case in the Tibetan Supreme Justice Commission in Dharamshala, India, for “false accusations” against him as he was ousted from the post by Sangay’s administration in November last year.
One of the ten reasons for ousting was that Dhardon had been asked by Penpa Tsering not to work for Sangay.
An email to Dhardon on Monday requesting comments remain unanswered.
She has been serving as the Information Secretary at the Department of Information and International Relations of the Central Tibetan Administration since October 2016.
It has been learned that Dhardon will travel to the US in January.
Meanwhile, it has been learned that the Government Relations Officer at the Office of Tibet, Washington DC, Ms Tenzin Palkyi, has also submitted her resignation letter.
Sources said she submitted her resignation on 30 November. She was appointed to the post in March this year.
Attempts to reach Palkyi for comment were unsuccessful.

(photo attached: read all the comments that people left on Tibetan Sun article about Dhardon's quitting. Most Tibetans do not like her at all.)
I am not sure if you guys realise that Dhardon Sharling's resignation is actually part of the money laundering plan for the CTA, specifically her lover boy Lobsang Sangay. These two are very aware that the CTA is falling apart, pairing that with the Dalai Lama deteriorating health, they are preparing for the worst. The best thing to do is definitely to secure their own pockets before the window of opportunities are completed closed.
Dhardon Sharling will be in the states receiving orders and huge sums from Lobsang Sangay so he can laundry as much as possible. Their sneak trick is like an open book. Only the blind ones cannot see. The CTA will be bankrupt in no time because people are no longer interested in supporting the Tibet lost cause and the kalon members are only interested in filling up their bank accounts.
It is really bad karma that the CTA is formed by a group of greedy kalon members who have never been interested in the Tibet Cause!
Oh my gosh... Sikyong is such an embarrassment!! Poor Sharling fall for such an abuser... Well well, waiting for Sangay to quit... but it seems he does not have the decency to do so... He needs to be forced to take his responsibilities. Such an embarrassment.
Poor Tibetans have such a government who does not care about their people but instead their leaders in exile make everything to embarrass themselves and put all the Tibetans in a bad light. Shame!!
