ABBOTS GET SCOLDING BY SAMDONG RINPOCHE IN DHARAMSALA!!!

[mountains]

The latest news I have recieved is not very long but quite impactual on many levels from very reliable sources.

The Abbots of Sera Je, Sera Mey, Gaden Jangtse, Gaden Shartse, Drepung Gomang and Drepung Loseling
were summoned to Dharamsala by Prime Minister of Exile Tibetan Govt Professor Samdong Rinpoche very recently.

Samdong Rinpoche scolded the Abbots for PUSHING THE SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN OF ALL MONKS TO RENOUNCE SHUGDEN IN THREE GREAT SEATS OF SERA, GADEN AND DREPUNG!!!
He said that their insistence on the signature campaigns has made personal difficulties for H.H. the Dalai Lama.

(I would presume the court case and also the bad media regarding it religious rights)

The ironic fact is that HH himself pushed for it through the Abbots. We can see the videos of HH praising the monasteries who has expelled the monks who wish to continue the practice and encourages more of it.

So perhaps this is a sign that the ban by HH is starting to have a negative effect on his reputation?

Looks like they are trying to wriggle their way out off the mess the DL has got them in, maybe to show a good side to the court, blaming the Three Colleges

I agree with Mohani that Dalai Lama is trying to wriggle out of the mess by blaming the Abbots so he looks better with the lawyers and internationally.

But that would be not good for Dalai Lama in the long run, because there are many recorded public tapes of him even on youtube encouraging the Colleges to expell and remove all monks from the mainstream monasteries who refuse to sign. Hence Shar Gaden and Serpom Monasteries arose.

So now that Dalai Lama is using Samdong Rinpoche to scold Abbots, at least THERE IS A SCOLDING RE THE SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN. Which in the past Dalai Lama and Samdong Rinpoche were praising the signature campaign. 

Either way, Dalai Lama and Samdong Rinpoche created contradictions. That contradiction will start to fester and grow in people's minds.

Does anyone have any other news regarding this at all.
