It is very undemocratic to segregate and discourage anyone from enrolling in any monastery or temple they wish. It is personal choice and what speaks to their minds and heart. That is why Church and state should never mix. They should be the only thing that is segregated not people or religion.

The Dalai Lama is Chenrezig and cannot be harmed. He has said so recently. So, to claim any thing else is demeaning the Dalai Lama and the Buddhas and the Dharma.

May the ban that is causing so much suffering, both physical and mental to so very many be lifted soon.

His holiness is fore warning the people to come out of ignorance and clarify the issue here. Not like Shugden society trying hard to find poor remote people to come and follow them in joining the bigger number. It sucks to see how you guys are working hard against the wishes of all 6 million Tibetan in particular. His holiness the Dalai Lama is working day and night for our country, what are we doing in return to repay our country and people. You are guys are being used by the Chinese government to increase controversy in our own system to disintegrate our unity and oneness. Wake up you fool..

The CTA has a very strong influence in the Tibetan community because traditionally the Dalai Lama is their king whatever Dalai Lama said people do not really comment they just follow because everyone think he is a Buddha of compassion but time has change because of social media the younger generation more aware about what is their rights so is a good news at least people will aware what is right what is wrong.

Giving advice to parents out there to not send the next generation to Shudgen’s monastery…. Where is the freedom in choosing what the next generation wants to believe in? And also threatening the parents that they would not be able to meet HH Dalai Lama in the future if anyone enroll their children in those monasteries.. It is indeed a serious matter for the Tibetans who highly regard HH Dalai Lama as a reincarnation of a Buddha. They are left with no choice. What happen to the religious freedom? The next generation deserves the right to choose what they want to believe and I’m sure with the advanced technology, everyone can search for themselves and decide what they want. With the pure lineage of Dorje Shudgen and His powerful teachings, the next generation will decide from themselves. However, the good news is that there is still an increasing number of monks joining the monasteries and I’m sure the numbers will rise continuously.

Dalai Lama in the video said student and guru’s relationship is very important. Otherwise it will not only harm the teacher, it will not be good for student as well. But look at Dalai Lama, he abandoned the practice his guru Trijang Rinpoche has given him. Did he not break the relationship with his guru? Is he the right example for us to follow? Since student and guru’s relationship is so important, he should encourage us, the DS practitioners to uphold the practice our guru have given us, not to force us or threaten us to go against our guru’s instructions. How can he destroy our spiritual practice just because he personally don’t like it? We want freedom for Tibet, we also want freedom for religion/belief.

Why double standards for the practice of Dorje Shugden?

This evidence linking the Dalai Lama and the ban, is there for all of us to see.

Restrictions and threats to the Dalai Lama make no sense at all. Dorje Shugden cannot harm a pure monk or a monk for that matter. Many people should really check their facts how can anything evil or harmful, harm a monk? A monk who holds his vows. As more students enroll with Shar gaden, I think the lay Tibetans are beginning to put two and two together.

It’s sad to know that innocent children aspiring to be sangha are now being disallowed from attending monasteries that practice Dorje Shugden. Depriving school children of monastic education just because they and their parents believe in Dorje Shugden is not good at all. Not only did the Dalai enforce the ban on the spiritual practice but also monastic education. What a shame. Fortunately for these children there are several monasteries who are more than willing to provide them the necessary monastic education and groom them to be future dharma teachers.

The younger generation has ample access to information on the internet. Hence it would be rather difficult to “curb” their views, especially if they find no basis to the Ban that is so controversial. HHDL would not be able to stop them from enrolling into Shugden monasteries if they are attracted to the pure teachings in these monasteries.

I look at it that there is nothing new or surprised me that Dalai Lama has given instruction not to send any new generation to the Shudgen monastery. However I feel grateful that so much attempts of discourages, the enrolment to the Shar monastery is still increasing. That shows still a lot of wise people knows what is going on. They know Shugden practice is no harm and instead a pure lineage. They know Shugden is an enlightened being as so many incarnation of highly attained Lama have been coming back such as Trijang Choktrul Rinpoche, Yongyal Rinpoche. We must have faith in our guru and lineage as being a real Buddhism practitioner.
