Since you started the cruel ban against the 350 year Dorje Shugden practice, how has it benefit your Tibetan society and Buddhism in the world? Things have become worse and most educated Tibetans can see this. They don’t speak out not because they don’t see your ban as wrong, but you instill fear in them and not respect. It is like fear of a dictator. I am sorry to say so. Everyone is divided. There is no harmony. Before your ban there was more harmony and unity.

By enacting the ban, you split the monasteries, split so many families, split regions in Tibet apart, split your disciples from you, split your own gurus from you, split Tibetan Buddhism apart. You have created so much disharmony.

It is not democratic what you have done to ban a religion within your community. You always talk of tolerance and acceptance and democracy and yet you do not accept and tolerate something different from your beliefs. When people practice Dorje Shugden you ostracize them, ban them from seeing you, ban them from using Tibetan facilities. You know you have done that. There are videos that capture your speech and prove this point. You even had people expelled from monasteries just because they practice Dorje Shugden. Some of the monks you expelled have been in the monastery for over 40 years. Many older monks shed tears because of this.

Many young educated Tibetans lost confidence in you as they saw the damage the Dorje Shugden ban created and they lose hope. Many have become free thinkers. They reject what you have done. So many people in the west left Buddhism because of the confusion you created with this ban against Dorje Shugden which is immoral.

You could of had millions of people who practice Dorje Shugden to support, love and follow you, but you scared them away. They are hurt and very disappointed. They loved you and respected you deeply before the ban. It has been 60 years and you have failed to get Tibet back. Your biggest failure is not getting Tibet back after 57 years in exile. Now you are begging China to allow you to return to Tibet to the disappointment of thousands of people who fought for a free Tibet believing in you. So many self-immolated for a free Tibet and now you want Tibet to be a part of China with no referendum from Tibetans. Just like a dictator, you decide on your own. It was your government and you that lost Tibet in the first place. Your policies and style of doing things do not benefit Tibet and Buddhism. You have been the sole ruler of Tibet your whole life and you still have not gotten our country of Tibet back for us. Our families and us are separated. Yet you create more pain by creating a ban to further divide people. Please have compassion.

No other Buddhist leader has banned or condemned any religion except for you. It looks very bad. You are a Nobel laureate and this is not fitting of a laureate. You should unite people and not separate them by religious differences.

You said Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi did not do right to the Rohingya people in Myanmar due to religious differences, but you are doing the same thing to the Shugden Buddhists within your own society. There is a parallel in this. You separate the Shugden Buddhists from the others in Tibetan society.

You have lost so many people who would have loved and supported you. You have lost so much support around the world. The Shugden Buddhists who love you number in the millions. When you are fast losing support from governments and private people, it will not do you well to lose more.

After you are passed away in the future, the rift you created between the Dorje Shugden and non-Dorje Shugden people will remain for a while and that will be your legacy. Disharmony. You will be remembered for this. Not as a hero but a disharmony creator.

Dorje Shugden will spread and further grow, but you will be no more as you are a human. No one wishes you bad and in fact we hope you have a long and healthy life, but we have lost so much hope and have so much despair because of you. All the hundreds of Dorje Shugden lamas, tulkus and geshes are maturing and there are hundreds of Dorje Shugden monasteries in Tibet who will not give up Dorje Shugden. You have made a mistake. These hundreds of teachers and teachers to be will spread Dorje Shugden further in the future.

The gurus that gave us Dorje Shugden as a spiritual practice and you have called these holy gurus wrong and they are mistaken in giving us Dorje Shugden. How can you insult our gurus whom we respect so much? If they can be wrong, then you can be wrong. Then all gurus can be wrong. So no one needs to listen to any guru? You have created this trend. It is not healthy. Your own gurus practiced Dorje Shugden their whole lives. Your own gurus were exemplary and highly learned.

Dalai Lama you have created so much pain with this ban against so many people due to religion. You are ageing fast. Are you going to do anything about it or stay stubborn, hard and un-moving. You show a smile and preach peace and harmony wherever you go. But will you do the same to your own people? Please rectify the wrong you have done. Please before it is too late. You can create harmony again or you can pass away in the future with this legacy of peace. May you live long and think carefully and admit what was a mistake in having this unethical ban against Dorje Shugden religion.

For me, my Guru would be the most compassionate person as he is the one making the effort to teach and guide me on my dharma path whereas the Dalai Lama teaches only masses. How can any of his followers even be sure that he considers them his students? If they need help or further guidance, will the Dalai Lama be there for them? Since the Dalai Lama has broken his samaya with his Guru, H.E. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche, would his teachings hold merits or blessings? Points for them to ponder.

It is through the guru that we are able to learn and benefit from the dharma.

However, the funny thing now is that the Dalai Lama is telling us students to break our samaya and guru devtion towards our guru because of this ban on Dorje Shugden? We should give up our teachers because they practice Dorje Shugden? We should also be breaking all the commitments and promises that we have made to our guru? And only Dalai Lama is our guru?

How is it possible that we should all be following what the Dalai Lama has said when we did not receive any teachings from the Dalai Lama? Would he still be considered as our guru then?

Why is it that only what the Dalai Lama has said is true and correct even though he may have broken his samaya with his own gurus?

Why did he say that only his guru Trijang Rinpoche is able to practice and no one else is able to practice Dorje Shugden practices? Is the Dalai Lama the guru to all Tibetan Buddhists because he is like a public figure for Tibetan Buddhism?

If people have thought through all these questions it makes what the Dalai Lama has said or is saying contradicting. I just do not understand why is there even such a ban when the 14th Dalai Lama has made prayers to Dorje Shugden in his younger days as well.

It is stated often and clearly and by many parties the importance of Guru devotion for progress in Dharma learning, realization and attainment. From the time of Atisha to Lama Tsongkhapa as written in the Lamp on the Path to Enlightenment (which many subsequent Dharma writings are based on) and Lamrim, Guru devotion is the foundation of any spiritual attainment and possibility of advancement towards enlightenment. That is because, even these great beings, perceive their Guru to be one with the Vajradhara. It is purely due to the Guru’s compassion and wisdom that we have connection to the 3 jewels and this will become more so as degeneration intensify in modern society with increased abundance in temptation and distractions.

With the rising intensity of distractions, I have personally experience the difficulty to devote sufficient time and effort to study and practice the Dharma. The obstacles on our Dharma journey is further fueled by our negative karma and lack of merits. In it stated that one of the most fundamental efforts Dharma practitioners must engage in is the accumulation of merits and purification of karma. The Guru is the perfect “doctor” to prescribe the medicine for building up our merit stock and purifying our negative karma because he is right there on our journey with us…our Guru knows our obscuration and is therefore able to give the exact antidote that is most efficient and effective for us.

Lastly, Buddha himself said that in the future, the Buddha will manifest in the form of Gurus due to the collective karma of the people. Therefore, criticizing and abandoning the teachings and blessings of one’s Guru is equal to discrediting the Buddha himself. If this is the case, then why even bother to call oneself a Buddhist?

When the Qinghai earthquake happened all the buildings in that area was flattened except for Denam Gonsa monastery. If we also realise that there is actually no such thing as coincidences then we can have faith that Denma Gonsa in reliance on Dorje Shugden was going the right way. A friend of China is not what determines if a person does dharma or not.
