Nothing is Black and White
Views on how the ban is making Dorje Shugden bigger in the world We are often stuck with ideas of right and wrong, black and white etc. Differentiation is not bad; what is more important is the wisdom to be able to discern things. The problem is that once we have taken a position, we…

So what if Britain didn’t want to meet the Dalai Lama?

Self-immolations and the fight for true freedom

Enlightened Path, Enlightened Tulkus

Have the Lamas Made a Terrible Mistake?
By logical debate, if these lineage lamas can be wrong, then the Dalai Lama could be manifesting wrong. Since Dalai Lama says they are wrong, he is ‘allowing’ to say he could be wrong by his disciples. Anyone and everyone could be wrong. If that is the case, it is very damaging for samaya. If…
Internet unveils illegal ban
