About Dorje Shugden > General Discussion
COLLECTION OF NEWS CLIPS, ARTICLES, VIDEO FOOTAGE ETC.
beggar:
DEAR FRIENDS,
IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED TO START COLLECTING ALL NEWS CLIPS, ARTICLES OLD AND NEW, VIDEO FOOTAGE LINKS AND SO ON IN ONE PLACE.
GOOD AND TIMELY IDEA!
SUCH MATERIALS COULD ALSO SERVE WELL IN BEING SENT OUT TO OTHER JOURNALISTS AND MANY PEOPLE WHO GET A MAJOR PART OF THEIR INFORMATION FROM THE MEDIA.
HERE FOR STARTERS AN OLD CLIP FOUND BY 'A FRIEND':
the Internationalist:
Disastrous policy
The ‘Update’ on the Dalai Lama’s ban of Dorje Shugden (NI 305) showed clearly the suffering that this is causing both exiled Tibetans and Western Buddhists.
The Tibetan government-in-exile is in a period of crisis and transition. Its policy of seeking ‘limited autonomy’ within China is deeply unpopular with Tibetans and it needs to create a popular consensus to deflect growing criticisms of its lack of democracy. Since 1996 its ban on the practice of Dorje Shugden has enabled these issues to be submerged under a state-sponsored purge. Religious freedom has been severely curtailed by the exercise of undemocratic authority vested in the Dalai Lama as the ‘god-king’ of Tibet.
From a legal position the Dalai Lama is neither the political nor the religious leader of the Tibetans – how much longer can he continue to
justify this disastrous policy?

hi kelsang
do you know how to extract that german panorama video and post on you tube?
a friend:
Hi Beggar, thanks for setting up this.
My suggestion is a little bit more complicated:
1-I think we should put in a fixed place all the material we can collect that was WRITTEN. This one should be the place, if the other participants accept to place their messages somewhere else, and only post here
ARTICLES from reporting or opinion or blogs or whatever WRITTEN material.
2-You Beggar dearest, might ask you administrator friend to take all the VIDEOS AND ACTUALLY DOWNLOAD THEM TO THIS WEBSITE (like you did already with Swiss TV and Dr. Wafa Sultan for example. We should have a videothèque with everything said about the issue, demos etc. Otherwise, IF WE ONLY HAVE THE LINKS, then the originals can disappear, as it happened with a BBC footage.
