What will happen once the Dalai Lama enters into clear light? Whatever it is, at the end of the day, the incarnation of the Dalai Lama still has to go through the golden urn draw to identify THE ONE. It is a tradition that has been followed since Qing dynasty. Most importantly, this selection procedure was accepted by the Tibetans.

It makes no sense to have two Dalai Lama, it will make people lose confidence in Gelug lineage, like what is happening in Karma Kagyu tradition now. We are in a generated era now, it is important to do what we can to preserve the lineage. If the CTA really treasure the precious Tibetan Buddhism, they should find ways to come to an agreement with the Chinese government and stop go against them.

I always thought that the recognition of the various tulkus did not rest on any one person but rather to the last incarnation’s clues given and a committee armed with the clues as well as traditionally recognized methods. I thought this was such that their would be no controversy on the recognition. Looks like that was a very erroneous thought.

It starting to look like a free for all. Maybe that’s why the Theravadians do not have tulkus?

All these high Lama recognition suppose to have no any mistake but because of the ban there is always has conflict between the practitioner pro DS and pro Dalai Lama . As we can see there is no unity between the Tibetan so is very difficult for the lineage to grow for the dharma to spread.

The Dalai Lama is dipping his finger in every pie and creating havoc with the creation of duplicate tulkus. His involvement brings about division and dissension in Buddhism and the Tibetan society. Why on earth does Chenrezig wants to flex his muscle in the role that is not called for traditionally?

I believe China will pick its own 15th Dalai Lama when the time comes and I hope that it will not clash with the choice that will be recognised by CTA. This will mean there will be double 15th Dalai Lama and this will be the beginning of another huge issue.

To split and divide, it is an effective way to confuse one’s opponents and to garner support from external parties. People who are unaware of the traditional practices of the Tibetan Buddhist schools will fall for the antics of the laughing, smiling and peace-loving Dalai Lama. His Holiness speaks about modernisation and democracy but by doing so, he is elevating himself to a place of importance when in the past, religious decisions that were duties of the head of each of the four lineages are now conveniently snatched by the Dalai Lama.

Democracy is not a one-man-show even if he is a Buddhist monk in exile that wins a Nobel Peace Prize.

WOW. Now everyone is trying to avoid HH Dalai Lama’s involvement in recognising the reincarnation of a tulku. His Holiness not only created confusion between people but also disharmony is the school. Having two recognised tulkus in the same school will indeed bring many confusion to people outside. Who do we seek guidance? Thank you dorejeshudgen.com for providing us with these informative articles and we have an insight on what’s happening with all these political issues. All of us should be aware of what’s going on out there and what has HH the Dalai Lama created between the schools.

I respect your position on Dorje Shugden, but I think it is insane insulting the Dalai Lama at the expense of the Tibetan people. His Holiness showed only a recommendation to this deity and never suppressed religious freedom.

All these controversies and problems is created by the Dalai Lama. Any man can see that the tulku recognition is thrown into disarray and so many confused
students about who to look to for guidance.

So despite the Dalai Lama being so blatantly being responsible for so much dispute about the who the real reincarnate lamas why does the CTA not stop or advise the Dalai Lama. Are they sheep? Don’t they have a mind of their own.

Surely it is permissible to ask the Dalai Lama’s motivations for creating a rift between practitioners and students.

Interesting yet sad for the Tulku’s reincarnation. Since when political issue has control over enlightened beings? It seems so ridiculous however it is happening right now. I was wondering the “fake” or the incarnation recognized by HHDL is actually another emanation of the real Tulku? I heard enlightened beings can have few emanations namely body, speech and mind. The mind emanation would be the main emanation. Am i correct?

Reading this post reinforces my belief in reincarnations of High Lamas who life after life come back with more wisdom to teach sentient beings towards attainments and enlightenment.

This is illustrated by the intent of the 5 Dalai Lama during whose time was Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen (the previous life of Dorje Shugden) and how his reincarnations are totally erased from the system.

The good thing in my observation is that whatever is happening, Dorje Shugden continue His Holy ways to protect and help those who prays to Him. His conduct and way of His compassion to sentient beings never wavered since the 17th century.

The reincarnated Dalai Lamas since the 5th, all seem to be in favour of worship to Dorje Shugden until the 14th who now restart the conspiracy against Dorje Shugden. A follow through of the 5th Dalai Lama? To me it looks like that.

So what is the moral of this very long history of the BAN, which is not so recent as in the 1980s but planned way ahead in history.

Do we Shugden followers seeing the truth in all the controversies be deterred in our reverence to such a great Protector and Buddha? Personally as I can see the deeper conspiracy, the more I believe we hold fast to our practice and trust and the goodness of Shugden practice will prevail against all odds even to the chaos created by the Dalai Lama of double versions of Karmapas, Great Lamas and so forth.

We must be steadfast for the BAN to be down as there is too much ”wickedness” towards this Great Protector and the light at the end of the tunnel is near.
