Wow, what Dalai Lama saying is so…. mind blowing. While he says “All the major religions teach us the practice of love, compassion and forgiveness. So a genuine practitioner among these different religious traditions would not indulge in such violence and bullying of other people.” He shows no compassion to Dorje Shugden practitioners. He knows very well how Dorje Shugden practitioners in the Tibetan community are being bullied and discriminated but yet he is not doing anything about it. He goes around the world to promote good virtues but to his own people, he is not applying what he has been preaching. How credible and reliable is he? I am really disappointed.

OMG.. The Dalai Lama says is “very sad”? What is going on out there? Why HHDL didn’t stop the incident? HHDL gave talk to the world and talk about ” Compassion “, when incident happened HHDL are doing nothing. By the way, I will never ever trust on HHDL, who care about HHDL ban of DS. I’ll just move on and carry on my practice.

What is going on now? Why can’t Dalai Lama just stop being so heartless? If Dalai Lama has no kindness and whatever he did are just for showing the world He is compassionate but He actually not. What is his purpose of reincarnated as Dalai Lama? If He do not represent compassion then who else do? If He do not represent peace then who in the world can do? Why are we here still listening to Him if he is a big lier who ban DS for the sake of his own benefits? Why can’t we just move on without Him?

It is politically correct for the Dalai Lama to offer a word of advise to fellow Buddhists because he is seemingly accepted as the de facto leader of peace and harmony. The question remains, where is Tibet today? Has it gained independence? The fact speaks for itself.

The Dalai Lama need to lift the ban that is creating a lot of difficulties for Tibetans and Dorje Shudgen practitioners all over the world. Charity should begin at home.

So there is no solid grounds for the Dalai Lama to say such words when his backyard his people are suffering. And yes the Dalai lama should ask Tibetans to stop immolating, it is not making any inroads for the Tibetan cause or Freedom.

It is so ironic that HHDL’s well intended advise to Myanmar monks to be compassionate and to resolve the violence against the Rohingya Muslims while at the same time, persecuting his own people for practicing DS. And he expected the Burmese monks to heed his advise? How delusional is that?

Hypocrisy = Beliefs – Actions

The hypocrites has a big difference in their beliefs and actions. Everyone has their own belief system set in them, whether or not it’s related to religions, cultural or even atheist. Each one of the beings in this world has their rights to pursue what they think is right, as long as it’s not harmful. Like how we don’t condemn or despise homosexuals.

With both religious and political power like HHDL, his words are law. It makes his words and actions more “convincing” to those blinded by stupidity or rather ignorance to follow suit. SAd. And I pray for REAL WORLD PEACE to come!

It is consistent that the Dalai Lama preaches compassion, kindness and love in all His public interviews and teachings throughout the world. No news release had ever changed nor distorted His teachings. It is totally agreed by all practising Buddhist that what Dalai Lama teaches is in line with the tenets of Buddhism.

However for those in the Tibetan tradition and under His leadership the questions then arise firstly why has the Dalai Lama not stopped Tibetans conducting violent acts to themselves and to the Chinese Government in their anti China policy and secondly allowing harm and discrimination on Tibetans who practise Dorje Shugden.

There lies the element of high level of hypocrisy. For those who do not tolerate such double standards and hypocrisy, then greater harm will arise, worst of all among the monastic order. As an example the recording by a Famous Burmese Buddhist Monk speaking out against the Dalai Lama’s point of view expressed with regard to the torture of Muslims in Burma.

Hypocrisy creates confusion, distrust, and chaos among people. Kindly stop this practise of hypocrisy and let freedom prevail for the choice of worship especially for the Shugden believers.

This is simply not right, whether you are a Buddhist, a person of different faith or even an atheist. This form of hypocrisy is simply inhuman. As we plunge deep into the degenerate age of our time, it becomes ever more important for world leaders to be the beacons of hope to what is right and good so that all of us can withstand the invasion of darkness. It is very disappointing to see so much evidence of His Holiness’ lack of integrity in dealing with other people’s matters and those of his own. Not only is the Dalai Lama applying doubles standards on what should and should not be done, he is doing it openly. This either means that 1) the Dalai Lama believes he can get away even when caught red handed, which may be a reflection of his self-perception of being above the law or 2) the Dalai Lama has a low level of respect to the world community who cannot see through his hypocrisy.

Regardless of what the Dalai Lama is thinking, it cannot continue and should be challenged until His Holiness and his leaders take responsibility and address the issue through honest, open and transparent communication.
