		<description>&lt;b&gt;Although the Dalai Lama has offered an apology, the Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) still expressed their disappointment over his controversial comment on Nehru, the Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC). Dalai Lama called Nehru self-centred.

The Congress said Dalai Lama being a foreigner should shun and refrain from interfering in the internal as well as external affairs of India.&lt;/b&gt;

Dalai Lama should know that a spiritual leader like him is shouldering great expectation: APCC

disappointment over the recent statement made by Tibetan Spiritual Leader the 14th Dalai Lama in which he called Jawaharlal Nehru, the former Prime Minister of India as “self-centered” and the one responsible for parting India and Pakistan.
“Although Dalai Lama expressed regret over his controversial comment, the APCC is extremely thwarted by it. A Tibetan spiritual leader calling names to an Indian leader who sweated most to keep him and his followers safe from Chinese aggression is simply not acceptable. Today, India is home to lakhs of Tibetan refugees who are living in 37 settlements and 70 scattered communities across different states of India,” APCC vice-president Minkir Lollen said in a statement on Sunday.
“Dalai Lama may have forgotten that India provided a beam of light and hope to Tibetans remaining in Chinese-dominated Tibet and in the neighbouring Chinese provinces politically cut off from the Tibetan heart land. All these happened only because India has great leaders like Gandhi and Nehru who took the responsibility of social burden to shelter thousands of persecuted Tibetans then in 1959,” Lollen added.
Minkir said Dalai Lama should know that a spiritual leader like him is shouldering great expectation, hope and trust of millions on record and the same are watching his contribution towards the mankind.
“In such circumstances, Dalai Lama should abstain from imparting partial and controversial information to the students who are the torch bearer of the nation,” the Congress said.
Further stating that the statement of the spiritual leader could be a politically motivated one and made with an effort to approach Prime Minister Narendra Modi for survival of his continuation in the country, the Congress said Dalai Lama being a foreigner should shun and refrain from interfering in the internal as well as external affairs of India.

		<description>&lt;b&gt;The cracks in Tibetan society are starting to show, and it is now coming to the attention of local Indians who have all but identified the Tibetan leadership as the source of the divisions. According to this author, disunity amongst the Tibetans is now creating problems for Indian law enforcement agencies, and this disunity may culminate in young Tibetans holding silent grudges against their host country. It is incredible that after six decades of generosity from India, Indians are now facing the very real possibility Tibetans can be ungrateful towards India. The Tibetan leadership totally failed to impart positive values upon their exiled community, like gratitude for those kindest to them and the need to repay these kindnesses with real, tangible results. It’s also very unlikely that the Tibetan leadership will now start to do this, after six decades of failing to do so. Indians need to realise this, and see that there is no benefit for their nation to align themselves with the Tibetan leadership, and there never will be.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;q&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:1.4em;color:red&quot;&gt;Tibetan disunity not in India’s interest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

India is home to the Dalai Lama and an estimated 120,000 Tibetan refugees. Though this humanitarian gesture on India’s part comes at the cost of risking New Delhi’s relations with China, India has never wavered in ensuring that Tibetans live with dignity and respect. Notified settlements across the country were made available so that they can live as independently as possible and practice Tibetan religion and culture. They are also allowed to establish centres of higher learning in Tibetan Buddhism. As a result, several reputed Buddhist institutes came up in Karnataka, and in the Indian Himalayan belt. In what may be termed as a gesture well reciprocated, and because of the respect and influence His Holiness the Dalai Lama commands, the Tibetan diaspora also lived as a peaceful community, rarely creating problems for India’s law enforcement agencies.
The situation, however, changed from 2000 onwards when unity amongst Tibetans suffered some setback due to developments like the Karmapa succession controversy and the controversy over worshiping of Dorje Shugden. In a unique case of politics getting the better of religion, two senior monks of the Karma kargyue sect of Tibetan Buddhism, Tai Situ Rinpoche and late Shamar Rinpoche, developed serious differences after the demise of Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, the 16th Karmapa, in 1981. This animosity ultimately led to emergence of two 17th Karmapa candidates in the early nineties. While Tai Situ Rinpoche identified and recognised UghyanThinley Dorje, late Shamar Rinpoche anointed Thinley Thaye Dorje as his Karmapa candidate. Enthronement of their respective protégés at the Rumtek Monastery in Sikkim, the supreme seat of the Karma Kargue linage, being their primary objective, both started indulging in activities monks normally are expected to, and bitterness spewed against each other.
The bitter rivalry assumed a new dimension when UghyenThinley Dorje suddenly appeared in India in January 2000. The competition became fiercer and hectic political lobbying, never known in the history of Tibetan Buddhism on Indian soil, became common place. Apart from pulling strings at their disposal in Sikkim as well as in the power corridors of New Delhi, these senior monks spat against each other with allegations and counter allegations, widening the gaps between their supporters. His Holiness the Dalai Lama, choosing to favour one of the candidates—a decision many Tibet watchers felt was ill-timed—had also limited possible scope of rapprochement. Hence, the Karma Kargyue followers are now vertically divided, while the camps are dragged into a long drawn legal battle.
Another development that unfortunately split the Tibetans is the controversy over Shugden worshipping, which again is an internal matter of the Gelugpa sect, to which the Dalai Lama belongs. It erupted as a result of the Dalai Lama urging Tibetans to refrain from worshiping Dorje Shugden, a deity believed to be a protector, according to Tibetan legend. Shugden practitioners, who felt offended by the call, describe it as an attack on freedom of religion, a right, which Dalai Lama himself tirelessly fought for. On the other hand, die hard Dalai Lama followers perceived the questioning of the decision as one challenging the wisdom of the Dalai Lama and mounted massive pressure on Dorje Shugden practitioners to relent, with some even demolishing the statues of the deity. The rivalry ultimately led to split in two Gelug monasteries in Karnataka, and Serpom and Shar Garden monasteries in Bylakupe and Mundgod respectively came under the control of Shugden followers. The bitterness associated with the split is exemplified by the fact that till today, members of these monasteries are treated as some sort of outcasts by the others. Thus, for the first time, the Tibetan diaspora in India gave birth to sections opposed to the Dalai Lama, with spillover effects in Tibet and elsewhere.
For India, with a fragile internal security profile, a divided Tibetan population on its soil is not good news. It has several long-term implications. It is common knowledge that China considers Dalai Lama as a secessionist, one plotting to divide their country. The latter’s claim of “all that Tibetans were asking for, was a status of genuine autonomy within the Constitution of the Peoples’ Republic of China”, had fallen into deaf ears. China also considers him as someone who plays to the Indian tune to tickle China. Therefore, at a time when China has successfully shrunk the Dalai Lama’s space internationally, India continuing to extend the usual space for him is viewed as complicity. Sharp reaction from China when he was allowed to visit Arunachal Pradesh in April 2017, is a recent example. Such being the delicate nature of India-China relations on matters and issues concerning Tibetans, India can hardly afford to ignore the division within the diaspora. Past experience of dubious elements from Tibet having succeeded in infiltrating the Central Tibetan Administration, including the security wing, should be a warning.
It is also time India understands the reason behind Tibetans seeking Indian passports, despite an existing arrangement for issue of Identity Certificates, which is passport equivalent. Some had even successfully taken recourse to legal remedy on the issue, and left the government of India red-faced. These changing moods should not be viewed as desires by Tibetans to become Indian citizens. They are triggered by the pathetic state of affairs associated with issuing of Identity Certificates, where delays in most cases are anything between six months to one year. Early streamlining of the process will drastically reduce their desire to hold Indian passport. It will also remove the wrongly perceived notion among some educated Tibetan youth, that the cumbersome process was a ploy by India to confine them in this country. While India should not shy from requesting the Dalai Lama to use his good offices to end all differences within the community in the interest of India’s internal security, it will also be necessary to ensure that young Tibetans do not nurse a silent grudge against the very country they called their second home.

		<description>&lt;b&gt;While the government of Nepal has framed a policy to tighten the noose around non-governmental organisations, they have welcomed 30 Chinese NGOs to enter the country. These NGOs will penetrate the country’s social sector at the grassroots level. This is the first time such a large number of Chinese NGOs have entered Nepal at one time. Nepal is increasingly open to Chinese influence, a sign that ties between both countries are strengthening, while India&#039;s influence is being reduced. The time has passed for India’s monopoly to remain uninterrupted in Nepal as opportunities to engage with China are being welcomed.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;q&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:1.4em;color:red&quot;&gt;30 Chinese NGOs all set to work in Nepal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
REWATI SAPKOTA
Kathmandu, July 30
At a time when the government has framed a policy to tighten the noose around non-governmental organisations, 30 Chinese NGOs have entered Nepal to penetrate the country’s social sector and the grassroots.
The Social Welfare Council Nepal and China NGO Network for International Exchanges, an umbrella body of Chinese NGOs, have signed a memorandum of understanding to enable Chinese NGOs to work in Nepal. The agreement was signed yesterday between SWCN Member Secretary Dilli Prasad Bhatt and CNIE General Secretary Zhu Rui in the presence of Minister of Women, Children and Senior Citizen Tham Maya Thapa and Chinese Deputy Minister of External Affairs Wang Yajun.
The agreement has paved the way for the first batch of 30 Chinese NGOs to work in Nepal for a period of three years. Their contract will be extended based on the consent of SWCN and CNIE. Representatives of these 30 Chinese NGOs were also present during yesterday’s signing ceremony. They have agreed to work in partnership with local NGOs to implement their programmes and projects.
The Chinese NGOs are eyeing areas such as livelihood, healthcare, education, skill-based training, community development and disaster management. This is the first time such a large number of Chinese NGOs has entered Nepal at one time. The Chinese assistance so far in Nepal has largely been limited to development of infrastructure projects. But the entry of these NGOs indicates China is keen on making its presence felt in Nepal’s social sector and the grassroots, which, till date, have remained domains of the West and countries such as Japan and India.
The MoU signed between SWCN and CNIE states that Chinese NGOs will be mobilised for ‘the benefit of needy Nepalis and to enhance ties between China and Nepal through people-to-people support programmes’.
“The Chinese NGOs will abide by the law of Nepal in its entirety while carrying out development cooperation in Nepal,” says the MoU, adding, “Chinese NGOs will submit programmes to the SWCN to carry out development activities in partnership with Nepali NGOs and SWCN in line with plans and policies of the government of Nepal.”
The MoU was signed at a time when the government has drafted the National Integrity Policy to limit activities of NGOs and INGOs, as some of them were found ‘trying to break communal harmony and proselytising Nepalis’. There were also concerns that high administrative cost of many NGOs and INGOs was preventing money from reaching the real beneficiaries. The policy clearly states that NGOs and INGOs cannot spend more than specified amount under administrative and consultant headings. They will also be barred from working against Nepal’s interests, culture and communal harmony and conducting activities to promote their religious, social or other agenda, adds the policy.
Around 48,000 NGOs are currently registered in Nepal, of which only 1,600 have been receiving funds from INGOs, as per SWCN. The SWCN has directed INGOs and NGOs to spend 60 per cent of the budget to generate tangible results, while the remaining can be used to cover administrative costs and organise training, meetings and seminars.

They will also be barred from working against Nepal’s interests, culture and communal harmony and conducting activities to promote their religious, social or other agenda, adds the policy.<br />
Around 48,000 NGOs are currently registered in Nepal, of which only 1,600 have been receiving funds from INGOs, as per SWCN. The SWCN has directed INGOs and NGOs to spend 60 per cent of the budget to generate tangible results, while the remaining can be used to cover administrative costs and organise training, meetings and seminars.<br />

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Supreme Court of India &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;JUSTICE Mr. MARKANDEY KATJU (RETD)&lt;/font&gt; writes that Tibet is much better under the Chinese than it was under the lamas who only wanted to make the populace slaves. It was feudal and it will never return to the backwardness again.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;q&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:1.4em;color:red&quot;&gt;Time has come to acknowledge that Tibet has vastly improved under Chinese rule&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
JUSTICE MARKANDEY KATJU (RETD) &#124; 12 August, 2018
From a terribly poor state hinged on a feudal system, Tibet has modernised and grows faster than the rest of China
This article has been prompted by Jyoti Malhotra’s article in ThePrint ‘Tibetan government quietly changed its PM’s designation. India won’t be unhappy about it‘.
China’s annexation of Tibet in 1959, ousting the Dalai Lama, had attracted it worldwide criticism. The Dalai Lama fled and was granted asylum in India, where he set up a government-in-exile with its headquarters in Dharamshala.
The Chinese claim Tibet on the grounds that it has been part of the country since the Yuan dynasty of the 13th century, which is disputed by the government-in-exile. But let us leave this that matter aside.
The more important question is whether Chinese rule has benefited Tibet.
The answer is that it undoubtedly has. As the Reuters’ Ben Blanchard writes: “Today Tibet is richer and more developed than it has ever been, its people healthier, more literate, better dressed and fed”.
Although Ben goes on to argue that this development masks “a deep sense of unhappiness among many Tibetans”, I will disagree. How can anyone be unhappy if s/he is healthier, better fed and better clothed?
Under the rule of the Dalai Lamas (Buddhist priests), the people of Tibet were terribly poor, almost entirely illiterate, and lived like feudal serfs.
Today, Tibet presents a totally different picture. The illiteracy rate in Tibet has gone down from 95 per cent in the 1950s to 42 per cent in 2000. It has modern schools, universities, engineering and medical colleges, modern hospitals, freeways, supermarkets, fast food restaurants, mobile stores and apartment buildings. The capital Lhasa is like any other modern city.
While the economic growth in the rest of China has slowed down to about 7 per cent, Tibet has had a 10 per cent growth rate in the last two decades.
Tibet has huge mineral wealth, which was only awaiting Chinese technology to be tapped. Nowadays, it has numerous hydro and solar power plants and industries running with Chinese help.
Tibetan literature is flourishing, contrary to claims that the Chinese want to crush Tibetan culture.
Of course, now the lamas cannot treat their people as slaves.
The so-called ‘government-in-exile’, of which Lobsang Sangay claims to be the President, is a fake organisation, funded by foreign countries. They only want to restore the feudal Tibet, ruled by the reactionary lamas, something which will never happen.

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Why doesn&#039;t the United States and its allies end Refugee Status for the useless Tibetans? They have been refugees for 60 years now and don&#039;t tell me they still cannot get their lives back in order? 

Tibetans really know how to put on a good show and use people, take their money and do nothing in return.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;q&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:1.4em;color:red&quot;&gt;Trump and Allies Seek End to Refugee Status for Millions of Palestinians&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
In internal emails, Jared Kushner advocated a “sincere effort to disrupt” the U.N.’s relief agency for Palestinians.
BY COLUM LYNCH, ROBBIE GRAMER &#124; AUGUST 3, 2018, 2:12 PM
Jared Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor, has quietly been trying to do away with the U.N. relief agency that has provided food and essential services to millions of Palestinian refugees for decades, according to internal emails obtained by Foreign Policy.
His initiative is part of a broader push by the Trump administration and its allies in Congress to strip these Palestinians of their refugee status in the region and take their issue off the table in negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, according to both American and Palestinian officials. At least two bills now making their way through Congress address the issue.
Kushner, whom Trump has charged with solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, has been reluctant to speak publicly about any aspect of his Middle East diplomacy. A peace plan he’s been working on with other U.S. officials for some 18 months has been one of Washington’s most closely held documents.
But his position on the refugee issue and his animus toward the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is evident in internal emails written by Kushner and others earlier this year.
“It is important to have an honest and sincere effort to disrupt UNRWA,” Kushner wrote about the agency in one of those emails, dated Jan. 11 and addressed to several other senior officials, including Trump’s Middle East peace envoy, Jason Greenblatt.
“This [agency] perpetuates a status quo, is corrupt, inefficient and doesn’t help peace,” he wrote.
The United States has helped fund UNRWA since it was formed in 1949 to provide relief for Palestinians displaced from their homes following the establishment of the State of Israel and ensuing international war. Previous administrations have viewed the agency as a critical contributor to stability in the region.
But many Israel supporters in the United States today see UNRWA as part of an international infrastructure that has artificially kept the refugee issue alive and kindled hopes among the exiled Palestinians that they might someday return home—a possibility Israel flatly rules out.
Critics of the agency point in particular to its policy of granting refugee status not just to those who fled Mandatory Palestine 70 years ago but to their descendants as well—accounting that puts the refugee population at around 5 million, nearly one-third of whom live in camps across Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, and Gaza.
By trying to unwind UNRWA, the Trump administration appears ready to reset the terms of the Palestinian refugee issue in Israel’s favor—as it did on another key issue in December, when Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
In the same January email, Kushner wrote: “Our goal can’t be to keep things stable and as they are. … Sometimes you have to strategically risk breaking things in order to get there.”
Kushner raised the refugee issue with officials in Jordan during a visit to the region in June, along with Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt. According to Palestinian officials, he pressed the Jordan to strip its more than 2 million registered Palestinians of their refugee status so that UNRWA would no longer need to operate there.
“[Kushner said] the resettlement has to take place in the host countries and these governments can do the job that UNRWA was doing,” said Hanan Ashrawi, a member of Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
She said the Trump administration wanted rich Arab Gulf states to cover the costs Jordan might incur in the process.
“They want to take a really irresponsible, dangerous decision and the whole region will suffer,” Ashrawi said.
Saeb Erekat, the Palestinians’ chief negotiator, told reporters in June that Kushner’s delegation had said it was ready to stop funding UNRWA altogether and instead direct the money—$300 million annually—to Jordan and other countries that host Palestinian refugees.
“All this is actually aimed at liquidating the issue of the Palestinian refugees,” hesaid.
The White House declined to comment on the record for this story. A senior executive branch official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said U.S. policy regarding the U.N.’s Palestinian refugee program “has been under frequent evaluation and internal discussion. The administration will announce its policy in due course.”
Jordanian officials in New York and Washington did not respond to queries about the initiative.
Kushner and Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, both proposed ending funding for UNRWA back in January. But the State Department, the Pentagon, and the U.S. intelligence community all opposed the idea, fearing in part that it could fuel violence in the region.
The following week, the State Department announced that that United States would cut the first $125 million installment of its annual payment to UNRWA by more than half, to $60 million.
“UNRWA has been threatening us for six months that if they don’t get a check they will close schools. Nothing has happened,” Kushner wrote in the same email.
State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said at the time that the U.S. had no intention of eliminating funding for Palestinian refugees, and that it was taking time to explore ways to reform UNRWA and to convince other countries to help Washington shoulder the financial burden of aiding the Palestinians.
But the following day, Victoria Coates, a senior advisor to Greenblatt, sent an email to the White House’s national security staff indicating that the White House was mulling a way to eliminate the U.N.’s agency for Palestinian refugees.
“UNRWA should come up with a plan to unwind itself and become part of the UNHCR &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration:underline&quot; class=&quot;bbcode-underline&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; by the time its charter comes up again in 2019,” Coates wrote.
She noted that the proposal was one of a number of “spitball ideas that I’ve had that are also informed by some thoughts I’ve picked up from Jared, Jason and Nikki.”
Other ideas included a suggestion that the U.N. relief agency be asked to operate on a month-to-month budget and devise “a plan to remove all anti-Semitism from educational materials.”
The ideas seemed to track closely with proposals Israel has been making for some time.
“We believe that UNRWA needs to pass from the world as it is an organization that advocates politically against Israel and perpetuates the Palestinian refugee problem,” said Elad Strohmayer, a spokesman for the Israeli Embassy in Washington.
Strohmayer said that Palestinians are the only population that is able to transfer its refugee status down through generations.
The claim, though long advanced by Israel, is not entirely true.
In an internal report from 2015, the State Department noted that the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees “recognizes descendants of refugees as refugees for purposes of their operations.” The report, which was recently declassified, said the descendants of Afghan, Bhutanese, Burmese, Somali, and Tibetan refugees are all recognized by the U.N. as refugees themselves.
Of the roughly 700,000 original Palestinian refugees, only a few tens of thousands are still alive, according to estimates.
The push to deny the status to most Palestinians refugees is also gaining traction in Congress.
Last week, Rep. Doug Lamborn, a Republican from Colorado, introduced a bill that would limit the United States to assisting only the original refugees. Most savings in U.N. contributions would be directed to the U.S. Agency for International Development, the United States’ principal international development agency. But USAID is currently constrained by the Taylor Force Act, which restricts the provision of humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian Authority until it ends a policy of providing aid to families of fallen terrorists.
“Instead of resettling Palestinian refugees displaced as a result of the Arab-Israeli Conflict of 1948, UNRWA provides aid to those they define as Palestinian refugees until there is a solution they deem acceptable to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” Lamborn’s bill states.
“This policy does not help resettle the refugees from 1948 but instead maintains a refugee population in perpetuity.”
A congressional aide familiar with the legislation said its intent isn’t to gut UNRWA funding, but redirect assistance to descendants through USAID.
“The people that are suffering should still get assistance, but through appropriately defined humanitarian channels and aid programs,” the aide said.
Similarly, Sen. James Lankford, (R-Okla.), has drafted legislation that would redirect U.S. funding away from UNRWA and to other local and international agencies.
The bill, which has not yet officially been introduced, would require the U.S. secretary of state certify by 2020 that the United Nations has ended its recognition of Palestinian descendants as refugees.
“The United Nations should provide assistance to the Palestinians in a way that makes clear that the United Nations does not recognize the vast majority of Palestinians currently registered by UNRWA as refugees deserving refugee status,” reads a draft obtained by Foreign Policy.
Previous U.S. administrations have maintained that the vast majority of Palestinian refugees will ultimately have to be absorbed in a new Palestinian state or naturalized in the countries that have hosted them for generations.
But the fate of the refugee issue was expected to be agreed to as part of a comprehensive peace pact that resulted in the establishment of a Palestinian state.
“It’s very clear that the overarching goal here is to eliminate the Palestinian refugees as an issue by defining them out of existence,” said Lara Friedman, the president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace.
“This isn’t going to make peace any easier. It’s going to make it harder.”

		<description>Dear Dalai Lama,

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? &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;Things have become worse and most educated Tibetans can see this.&lt;/font&gt; They don&#039;t speak out not because they don&#039;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. &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;There is no harmony.&lt;/font&gt; 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. &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;There are videos that capture your speech and prove this point.&lt;/font&gt; 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. &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;So many people in the west left Buddhism because of the confusion you created with this ban against Dorje Shugden which is immoral.&lt;/font&gt;

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. &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;Your biggest failure is not getting Tibet back after 57 years in exile.&lt;/font&gt; 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. &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;So many self-immolated for a free Tibet and now you want Tibet to be a part of China with no referendum from Tibetans.&lt;/font&gt; 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.

&lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;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.&lt;/font&gt; 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. &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;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.&lt;/font&gt; 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. &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;How can you insult our gurus whom we respect so much? If they can be wrong, then you can be wrong.&lt;/font&gt; 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.

		<description>&lt;b&gt;What will the all the people around the world and in Tibet do now? Dalai Lama says he is happy that Tibet is a part of China and should remain a part of China. So many Tibetans self-immolated for Tibet to be independent and now Dalai Lama did a 360 degree turn and says he wants to go back to Tibet and China and Tibet should be a part of China. So unbelievable. So many are angry and disappointed.
&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;q&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:1.4em;color:red&quot;&gt;Tibetans ready to be part of China: Dalai Lama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
Organised by the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), the event was a part of &quot;Thank You India - 2018&quot; held by the Tibetan community across India to mark 60 years of its exile in the country.

Tibetans are ready to be a part of China if guaranteed full rights to preserve their culture, the Dalai Lama said on Friday.
&quot;Tibetans are not asking for independence. We are okay with remaining with the People&#039;s Republic of China, provided we have full rights to preserve our culture,&quot; the 83-year-old spiritual leader said at &quot;Thank You Karnataka&quot; event here in the city.
Organised by the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), the event was a part of &quot;Thank You India - 2018&quot; held by the Tibetan community across India to mark 60 years of its exile in the country.
&quot;Several of Chinese citizens practicing Buddhism are keen on Tibetan Buddhism as it is considered scientific,&quot; the Nobel laureate said.
Born in Taktser hamlet in northeastern Tibet, the Dalai Lama was recognized at the age of two as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama, Thubten Gyatso. He fled to India from Tibet after a failed uprising against the Chinese rule in 1959.
China annexed Tibet in 1950, forcing thousands of Tibetans, including monks, to flee the mountain country and settle in India as refugees.
Since then, India has been home to over 100,000 Tibetans majorly settled in Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh among other states.

		<description>&quot;... Tibetan people lost their country because of collective karma ...&quot;

That logic not only says that nazi Germany was bombed because of collective karma but also that jews have lost their lives in concentration camps because of their collective karma.

Is karma a reason to apply violence? No, violence of mind, speech and body causes and effects karma within conciousness and we can only avoid and overcome violence and karma with non-violence/wisdom and compassion and Tibet/tibetan culture was and is about wisdom and compassion. Of course in nation things went/are going wrong, that was and is happening in the past and present. Nobody denies or downtalks something but we should remind that tibet was and is about cultivating wisdom and compassion or non-violence in order to avoid causes of violence and violence. This is not ideology because ignorance/violence/suffering is a part of reality and best way to deal with it is wisdom and compassion/non-violence because of it causes and effects freedom and wellbeing.

What about the collective karma (ignorance/duality/karmic wind/violence) of people (because they didn&#039;t grew up with education about reality/non-duality/non-violence) that became the violence the jews have experienced?

Here we are clear that human beings itself are not the problem at all but ignorance or ignoring that reality is non-duality and creating the illusion of duality is the problem or what becomes a problem for one being itself and also other beings. So here we don&#039;t accuse/blame someone, we are just aware of that education about reality/non-duality/wisdom and compassion helps to avoid and overcome causes of violence/suffering and violence/suffering.

What about the collective merrit of tibetan people and what is blocking their merrit? Tibetan people are not alone on this planet, there are many other nations as well.

It was not the fault/karma of the jews by the way, the fault was that human beings in europe where not educated in non-duality/wisdom and compassion/dignity that is identity and important to cultivate or real culture starts with cultivating once dignity by acclaiming once dignity/wisdom and compassion as identity. European Union is about acclaiming once dignity as identity and to cultivate dignity because of european history.

It was/is not the fault of Tibet/Tibetan people that communism/socialism/violence was/is hostile against wisdom and compassion/non-violence, because Tibetan people have accumulated merrit by dharma study and practice by the way.

For the part with violence against Tibet, the people who accumulated karma/communism/socialism/violence where and are responsible for the violence but not Tibet/Tibetan people. Here we don&#039;t accuse/blame chinese people, we are just aware of that something went wrong within China that was and is harmful for China/Chinese people and we want to apply wisdom and compassion to help China/Chinese people to come out of it for the freedom and wellbeing of China/Chinese people. Here we do care about China/Chinese people, we are not against China/Chinese people. So dharma/wisdom and compassion is not a problem for China/Chinese people at all.

Again here we don&#039;t blame/accuse China/someone at all because we understand the causes and therefore we study and practice wisdom and compassion for China/everyone to avoid and overcome causes of violence/suffering and violence/suffering. So here we offer our understanding and compassion for China/anyone and want to help China/anyone to overcome their problems by non-violence because only non-violence works. So we love China/Chinese people/anyone, we want Chinese people/anyone to live in freedom and wellbeing and support this by wisdom and compassion/non-violence because only this works. Unfortuneately some people don&#039;t realise this and go against HHDL and CTA as well as people who teach and study dharma. We understand why and that&#039;s why we continue to practice wisdom and compassion because only wisdom and compassion will help all of us.

Dharma is talking about our identity/dignity/wisdom and compassion and how to cultivate our dignity, so dharma is not a problem but prevention/protection and solution/regeneration and healing if something went wrong. So people who teach, study and practice dharma are aware of this and only offer their support/understading and compassion for anyone/any nation/mankind.

HHDL and CTA are not hostile against China/Chinese people, they only want to support China/Chinese people with their wisdom and compassion for the freefom and wellbeing of China/Chinese people, that&#039;s all and that&#039;s what they do all the time because they practice wisdom and compassion all the time.

Tibet is not a problem for China but communism/socialism/capitalism/violence is an impermanent problem for China and Tibet that we only can overcome by wisdom and compassion.

Identity of Chinese people/people of any nation is dignity/wisdom and compassion, to cultivate this is real culture and causes and effects freedom and wellbeing for any nation/mankind that has to deal with impermanent ignorance/violence because unfortuneately it is an impermanent part of reality. Any nation has this problem but any nation can deal with it with wisdom and compassion that will cause and effect freedom and wellbeing, to go on with capitalism/communism/socialism/violence will not work but only cause and effect more violence/suffering and a big crash for mankind at the end of the story.

In Tibet they said, because impermanent ignorance and violence is a part of reality that we are all confronted with/facing, we have to deal with it and the best way to deal with it is to cultivate our identity/dignity that is wisdom and compassion because only with wisdom and compassion we can do our best to avoid and overcome causes of violence/suffering and violence/suffering because reality is non-duality/non-violence (When you read international law there is the advice to aknowledge once inherent dignity and to cultivate dignity). So they put a child on the throne, raised and educated this child in wisdom and compassion in order to be a teacher of wisdom and compassion for a nation in order to avoid and overcome causes of violence/suffering and violence/suffering by wisdom and compassion/non-violence because of reality is free of lastingness and non-existence/non-duality/non-violence. That&#039;s intelligent, dharma is talking about intelligence/wisdom and compassion and how to cultivate it! We don&#039;t need to do research to find out, dharma is here and we just need to study and practice dharma. We are fortuneate because of Tibet.

Meanwhile other nations around the world continued to cultivate illusions that caused and effected many problems for themself and many other nations/beings. That&#039;s not intelligent but narcissism/personality dissorder just because of ignoring that reality by itself is non-duality/free of non-existence and lastingness at the same time and missunderstanding reality. Today there is alot of talk about artificial &quot;intelligence&quot;, that is not talking about intelligence/wisdom and compassion at all but why is there no talk about dignity and to cultivate dignity? There is a big hype for artificial &quot;intelligence&quot; that has nothing to do with intelligence but how can mankind overcome causes of violence/suffering and violence/suffering with artificial &quot;intelligence&quot;? Can a robot cause and effect merrit, freedom and wellbeing for us? Like insert one coin, press the button and then nirvana happens to you? Would be nice but that&#039;s not reality.

Here we don&#039;t blame someone but want to cultivate dignity finaly for the freedom and wellbeing for mankind/any nation. So dharma/wisdom and compassion is not a problem at all and it does not mean mankind has to become ordained and to live in caves as well as to paint wall pictures on the walls of the caves. Public hand and economy is mainly concerned about work and jobs but never ever concerned about understanding, motivation and actions. What is the understanding, what is the motivation and what are the actions? About the most important ascpect, because space and conciousness comes first it is the way that wisdom and compassion comes first, education is only about getting information in order to work/function in a treadmill like a hamster with the result of harmful causes and effects to once conciousness, the environemt, nature, animals and human beings/mankind. That&#039;s called civilisation, well that&#039;s a problem. We are not robots that need information in order to function/work in order to produce more impermanent luck that can&#039;t make us happy or cause and effect freedom and wellbeing anyway because our freedom and wellbeing completely depends on our conciousness and state of conciousness.

Some say evolution is a fight and that the most violent/strongest will survive, well that&#039;s not what evolution is that also is in contradiction with the fact than bön is so many thousand years old and this culture of wisdom and compassion/non-violence is still here. Also just take a look into history of mankind as well as the the fact that when you cut your finger regeneration and healing will happen and that is evolution/regeneration and healing or non-violence/non-duality/reality/interdependence/impermanence as well as that violence has failed and fails because it is in contradiction with reality/non-duality/non-violence.

So we don&#039;t need to fight but can and should stop to fight because otherwise we will not survive because evolution will not stop to regenerate and heal. Cycle of elements is running and anything that is harmful/in contradiction has no chance to survive within this reality/non-duality/non-violence. So if we turn around this healing cause and effect, it becomes harmful cause and effect for ourself because we have turned it around, because we have made duality/violence out of non-duality/non-violence. But non-duality stays non-duality, so we can recover, mankind can recover, elements and nature can recover, we just need to stop violence by understanding non-violence/non-duality/reality by becoming aware of it by dharma study and practice.

So we are not hostile against Germany or China or someone/nations but because we understand the importance to avoid and overcome causes of violence and violence, we study and practice dharma/wisdom and compassion for the benefit of Germany/Europe/China/any nation. So please don&#039;t turn against people who teach, study and practice dharma/wisdom and compassion for freedom and wellbeing of mankind.

Mankind/any nation deserves freedom and wellbeing unconditionally, that&#039;s the natural &quot;program/law/dharma/thatagat os&quot; of space/reality/protection/regeneration and healing that is happening/there unconditionally, so any nation/mankind deserves dharma/wisdom and compassion/cultivating dignity because with violence we can&#039;t cause and effect freedom and wellbeing because reality is non-violence/non-duality/protection/regeneration and healing. We can&#039; escape space, so we can&#039;t espace reality/non-violence/non-duality. To create the illusion of duality and to escape from reality into duality/illusion/eternalism and nihilism/dualism/narcissism/capitalism/communism/socialism/ism, will not help but cause and effect many problems. That&#039;s in contradiction with reality but unfortuneately ignorance/violence is a part of reality and the best/only way to deal with it, to avoid worse and to come out of it is wisdom and compassion/dharma/non-violence/non-duality/reality.

Human beings have freedom to practice dignity/wisdom and compassion to avoid and overcome causes of violence/suffering and violence/suffering because they have conciousness because of space. This is for the benifit of all nations/human beings and animals, nature and mankind itself.

Thing with duality is that it is in conflict with another that is that good and evil is in conflict with another as well as that good and evil is in conflct with non-duality/reality/non-violence itself.

Good and bad actions are violence, one party says that good is right and evil is wrong and the other party says that evil is right and good is wrong. Non-duality says that there is no right and wrong but non-duality or non-violence/wisdom of non-duality and compassion that is free of good and evil/right and wrong and this is a problem for good and evil that are in conflict with another and with non-duality/reality/non-violence/wisdom and compassion/dharma.

Non-duality as well as interdependence means that everything is connected, nothing is independent but dynamicly interdependent and therefore everything is impermanent that means life, protection, regeneration and healing or transformation/tantra/liberation/freedom and wellbeing. This is freedom or the only freedom that is available or there is this basic freedom of lastingness and non-existence, there is no other freedom than this basic freedom of lastingness and non-existence but this causes and effects freedom and wellbeing as long we don&#039;t turn it around because then this turning around is what is harmful for ourself.

The illusion of non-existence is where the illusions of evil, devil, death and aversion/bad actions arise from.
The illusion of lastingness is where the illusions of good, god, only this life and attachment/good actions arise from.

Here religions have a problem with dharma because they worship god that blocks them to cause and effect what they actually want to cause and effect. This god and devil duality is an betray system/spirit worship to keep beings into the illusion of duality/samsara. Samsara has a good and bad side and some people think that when they are on the good side that everything is fine but heaven/good/god and hell/bad/devil is not nirvana it&#039;s samsara.

&quot;One Ring (duality/eternalism and nihilism/national law that contains the extremes of eternalism and nihilism) to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness (samsara/duality) bind them&quot;

Hey, we are not hamsters that run in a treadmill of Sauron/Satanism, we are buddhas!

Satan turned away from reality/non-duality/non-violence and created the duality of lasting and non-existent, god and devil, eternalism and nihilism, attachment and aversion, good and bad actions. So to pray to god is also to pray to devil (god and devil duality) or spirit worship and this is keeping up satanism/dualism or to cause and effect an empire/kigdom of satan/dualism/eternalism and nihilism (globalisation one nation/all nations under god/devil satanism/eternalism and nihilism) that is made out of the illusion of duality/god and devil/lasting and non-existence duality.

Satansim has two aspects one good aspect and one evil aspect like one coin is made out of two sides. Satanism/dualism/eternalism and nihilism has the two sides that is god and devil that is together and spirit worship and result is peace and war in the name of, right, god and devil (dualism/satanism/eternalism and nihililsm/just read national law, that&#039;s the stuff/stanism). Yes, States/Republics/Religions with eternalism and nihilism/god and devil are satanic/dualistic cults of fallen angels that are in contradiction with reality/non-duality and that fight against teachers and students of dharma/wisdom and compassion.

Like the hamsters are accusing/blaming the non-hamsters for being a hamster.

Not to practice spirit worship/dualism and to turn away from dualisitc betray systems/satanism by taking refuge into buddha, dharma and sangha is wise and compassionate.

Nirvana is free of peace and war, free of heaven and hell, because reality is free of lastingness and non-existence/duality or reality is non-duality. So reality is free of god and devil. Did Jesus teached dualism, did Johannes teached dualism, did Abraham teached dualism? Did ancient egypt failed because of non-duality or dualism?

Do fallen angels want to create and globalise an empire of satanism/duality/dualism/eternalism and nihilism/violence?

So called exorcism prayers contain good parts and bad parts that is white and black magic (spirit worship and are harmful spells but not dharma) in order to cause good and bad (that of course is not dharma that is about to cause and effect freedom from luck and pain/good and bad by wisdom of non-duality and compassion) to cause and effect hell realms for other beings/enemies (but what you wish for others effects once own conciousness so it effects yourself in a harmful way), of course that&#039;s not loving kindness/wisdom and compassion/dharma. Dharma is about getting all out of heaven and hell and to avoid to cause and effect heaven and hell by wisdom of non-duality and compassion to cause and effect nirvana/wisdom and compassion that is the only freedom and wellbeing that is available.

Within religion/states/republics, there is alot/something in contradiction with reality/non-duality/non-violence/dharma that is talking about that harmful (good and bad) actions have an harmful effect within our conciousness and that with applying wisdom and compassion there is regeneration and healing happening that pills can&#039;t do at all/pills can&#039;t perform wisdom and compassion. Well i have never seen a pill that can practice wisdom and compassion but i have seen that by selling pills they can make alot of money and sideeffects to make money with again.

Remeber the Mask of Guge, that was made out of scriptures (dualism/satanism) that missionary brought to the tibetan region and they said/say that tibetan culture (wisdom and compassion/non-duality/reality/free of lastingness and non-existence) is evil and spirit worship (They accuse others for something they do/narcissism/dualism) and fight against wisdom and compassion/non-duality/reality. The holy ghost that jesus was talking about is the wisdom mind that buddha was talking about and all aspects of conciousness are so called deitites. People from christianity fight against the holy ghost/wisdom mind, that&#039;s satanism/narcissism/personality dissorder and pills won&#039;t help but make money and environment pollution (water) that effects animals as well.

So maybe those people first should study and learn about dharma before projecting something onto dharma that is not there at all. Would help them to avoid creating many problems for themself.

This Mask of Guge is a perfect pice of spiritual art (Mask of Religion/Dualism/Dualistic betray systems/Satanism) and how people deceive themself with duality and try to deceive others with dualism in order to cause and effect that they also start to practice satanism/dualism/their cult with them and also fight against people who teach, study and practice dharma/wisdom and compassion/non-duality/reality and to blame/accuse them for whatever. That&#039;s narcissism/satanism.

Please don&#039;t follow dualistic betray systems/satanism/harmful spirits/dualism. They are deceived and don&#039;t realise it as well as don&#039;t realise what happend with ancient egypt and why and what happend in history because of this dualism that is basis for many states/republics today that also will fail because of this dualism/eternalism and nihilism/satanism.

In The Lord of the Rings, it is Sauron (harmful spirit/view/motivation/action) who works with Saruman (Religion) because he subdues himself to Sauron to take over and control middle earth with the Kings that where manipulated by spells in order to control them and their people/all nations.

HHDL and CTA don&#039;t want that Tibetan people/human beings are the hamsters in treadmills of an dualistic betray system by the way.

States/Republic/Religions are not what it looks like, check the national law for eternalism and nihilism (dualism) and find out about the betray system that is running in order to rule them all, to find them, to bring them all and in the darkness (samsara/duality) bind them with duality/dualistic betray systems that fight against dharma/non-duality/wisdom and compassion and will fail of course.

We know the happy end of the story already, because reality is regeneration and healing, because it is free of lastingness and non-existence/duality. So you will have no chance against a limitless space and it&#039;s wise and compassionate beings here within this realm.

That&#039;s why buddhas say to only take refuge into the light/non-dual conciousness/wisdom and compassion within ourself. Lamas are talking about the inner refuge/deities/aspects of our wisdom and compassion/light within ourself.

Buddha/Lama is Dharmakaya - Sky (Essence/View), Dharma/Yidam is Sambhogakaya - Sun (Nature/Motivation/5 Aspect of Wisdom and Compassion), Sangha/Khandro is Nirmanakaya - Sunrays (Healing Power/Action/6 Paramitas/Enlightnend Activity).

Reality is free of lastingness and non-existence, free of duality like good and evil, god and devil, good and bad, friend and enemy. Reality by itself is non-dual, pure, protection, regeneration, healing (view-dharmakaya-sky) and loving kindness motivation (5 aspects of wisdom and compassion/Bodhichitta-sambhokayaka-sun) and non-violence (6 paramitas/enlightnend activity-nirmanakaya-sunrays).

And these three kayas are our identity/conciousness and our human psychophysical body is an nirmanakaya emanation/expression of non-duality/non-violence/wisdom and compassion. Our body is the seat of all peaceful and wrathful deities/aspects, our body is our pure mandala-house and the environment is the human realm where we perform/study and practice wisdom and compassion for the benifit/freedom and wellbeing of all beings.

When you go to a concentration camp there is a lable that says that work liberates and lobbyism talks about work and jobs but they never talked/talk about wisdom, compassion and 6 paramitas, isn&#039;t it. Work does not liberate and we understand that only wisdom and compassion protects and liberates, so wisdom and compassion first!

To understand Tibet and Tibetan culture a little bit non-dual perception and experience of reality is required. But once you have experienced non-dual perception and experience of reality, even just for a short time, you&#039;ll start to understand Tibet and Tibetan culture or dharma culture much better. Then you will understand Buddha, then you will understand Dharma, then you will understand Sangha, then you will understand Ghandi, then you will understand HHDL and CTA.

Please give non-duality/reality/non-violence a chance.

There is violence/good and bad actions/suffering that is impermanent, that means that violence/good and bad actions/suffering has causes that are impermanent, that means that we can avoid causes of violence/good and bad actions/suffering and violence/good and bad actions/suffering, that means that there is a way to avoid causes of violence/good and bad actions/suffering and violence/good and bad actions/suffering that is dharma/non-violence/non-duality/wisdom and compassion.

Please don&#039;t turn mankind into hamsters that run in a treadmill of an kingdom of hamsters to keep up the kingdom of hamsters until it crashes itself and all hamsters. Human beings are not hamsters they are buddhas (wise and compassionate human beings).

May all dharmapalas protect all teachers and students of dharma with their wisdom of non-duality and compassion. And may Vajrakilaya destroy all harmful powers within all beings that are hostile to wisdom and compassion. May all students of dharma realise their nirmanakaya, sambhogakaya and dharmakaya aspects swiftly, may the blessings of all enlightenend beings support them and may all dakas and dakinis inspire all students of dharma to study and practice dharma.

Love you all.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;&#8230; Tibetan people lost their country because of collective karma &#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>That logic not only says that nazi Germany was bombed because of collective karma but also that jews have lost their lives in concentration camps because of their collective karma.</p>
<p>Is karma a reason to apply violence? No, violence of mind, speech and body causes and effects karma within conciousness and we can only avoid and overcome violence and karma with non-violence/wisdom and compassion and Tibet/tibetan culture was and is about wisdom and compassion. Of course in nation things went/are going wrong, that was and is happening in the past and present. Nobody denies or downtalks something but we should remind that tibet was and is about cultivating wisdom and compassion or non-violence in order to avoid causes of violence and violence. This is not ideology because ignorance/violence/suffering is a part of reality and best way to deal with it is wisdom and compassion/non-violence because of it causes and effects freedom and wellbeing.</p>
<p>What about the collective karma (ignorance/duality/karmic wind/violence) of people (because they didn&#8217;t grew up with education about reality/non-duality/non-violence) that became the violence the jews have experienced?</p>
<p>Here we are clear that human beings itself are not the problem at all but ignorance or ignoring that reality is non-duality and creating the illusion of duality is the problem or what becomes a problem for one being itself and also other beings. So here we don&#8217;t accuse/blame someone, we are just aware of that education about reality/non-duality/wisdom and compassion helps to avoid and overcome causes of violence/suffering and violence/suffering.</p>
<p>What about the collective merrit of tibetan people and what is blocking their merrit? Tibetan people are not alone on this planet, there are many other nations as well.</p>
<p>It was not the fault/karma of the jews by the way, the fault was that human beings in europe where not educated in non-duality/wisdom and compassion/dignity that is identity and important to cultivate or real culture starts with cultivating once dignity by acclaiming once dignity/wisdom and compassion as identity. European Union is about acclaiming once dignity as identity and to cultivate dignity because of european history.</p>
<p>It was/is not the fault of Tibet/Tibetan people that communism/socialism/violence was/is hostile against wisdom and compassion/non-violence, because Tibetan people have accumulated merrit by dharma study and practice by the way.</p>
<p>For the part with violence against Tibet, the people who accumulated karma/communism/socialism/violence where and are responsible for the violence but not Tibet/Tibetan people. Here we don&#8217;t accuse/blame chinese people, we are just aware of that something went wrong within China that was and is harmful for China/Chinese people and we want to apply wisdom and compassion to help China/Chinese people to come out of it for the freedom and wellbeing of China/Chinese people. Here we do care about China/Chinese people, we are not against China/Chinese people. So dharma/wisdom and compassion is not a problem for China/Chinese people at all.</p>
<p>Again here we don&#8217;t blame/accuse China/someone at all because we understand the causes and therefore we study and practice wisdom and compassion for China/everyone to avoid and overcome causes of violence/suffering and violence/suffering. So here we offer our understanding and compassion for China/anyone and want to help China/anyone to overcome their problems by non-violence because only non-violence works. So we love China/Chinese people/anyone, we want Chinese people/anyone to live in freedom and wellbeing and support this by wisdom and compassion/non-violence because only this works. Unfortuneately some people don&#8217;t realise this and go against HHDL and CTA as well as people who teach and study dharma. We understand why and that&#8217;s why we continue to practice wisdom and compassion because only wisdom and compassion will help all of us.</p>
<p>Dharma is talking about our identity/dignity/wisdom and compassion and how to cultivate our dignity, so dharma is not a problem but prevention/protection and solution/regeneration and healing if something went wrong. So people who teach, study and practice dharma are aware of this and only offer their support/understading and compassion for anyone/any nation/mankind.</p>
<p>HHDL and CTA are not hostile against China/Chinese people, they only want to support China/Chinese people with their wisdom and compassion for the freefom and wellbeing of China/Chinese people, that&#8217;s all and that&#8217;s what they do all the time because they practice wisdom and compassion all the time.</p>
<p>Tibet is not a problem for China but communism/socialism/capitalism/violence is an impermanent problem for China and Tibet that we only can overcome by wisdom and compassion.</p>
<p>Identity of Chinese people/people of any nation is dignity/wisdom and compassion, to cultivate this is real culture and causes and effects freedom and wellbeing for any nation/mankind that has to deal with impermanent ignorance/violence because unfortuneately it is an impermanent part of reality. Any nation has this problem but any nation can deal with it with wisdom and compassion that will cause and effect freedom and wellbeing, to go on with capitalism/communism/socialism/violence will not work but only cause and effect more violence/suffering and a big crash for mankind at the end of the story.</p>
<p>In Tibet they said, because impermanent ignorance and violence is a part of reality that we are all confronted with/facing, we have to deal with it and the best way to deal with it is to cultivate our identity/dignity that is wisdom and compassion because only with wisdom and compassion we can do our best to avoid and overcome causes of violence/suffering and violence/suffering because reality is non-duality/non-violence (When you read international law there is the advice to aknowledge once inherent dignity and to cultivate dignity). So they put a child on the throne, raised and educated this child in wisdom and compassion in order to be a teacher of wisdom and compassion for a nation in order to avoid and overcome causes of violence/suffering and violence/suffering by wisdom and compassion/non-violence because of reality is free of lastingness and non-existence/non-duality/non-violence. That&#8217;s intelligent, dharma is talking about intelligence/wisdom and compassion and how to cultivate it! We don&#8217;t need to do research to find out, dharma is here and we just need to study and practice dharma. We are fortuneate because of Tibet.</p>
<p>Meanwhile other nations around the world continued to cultivate illusions that caused and effected many problems for themself and many other nations/beings. That&#8217;s not intelligent but narcissism/personality dissorder just because of ignoring that reality by itself is non-duality/free of non-existence and lastingness at the same time and missunderstanding reality. Today there is alot of talk about artificial &#8220;intelligence&#8221;, that is not talking about intelligence/wisdom and compassion at all but why is there no talk about dignity and to cultivate dignity? There is a big hype for artificial &#8220;intelligence&#8221; that has nothing to do with intelligence but how can mankind overcome causes of violence/suffering and violence/suffering with artificial &#8220;intelligence&#8221;? Can a robot cause and effect merrit, freedom and wellbeing for us? Like insert one coin, press the button and then nirvana happens to you? Would be nice but that&#8217;s not reality.</p>
<p>Here we don&#8217;t blame someone but want to cultivate dignity finaly for the freedom and wellbeing for mankind/any nation. So dharma/wisdom and compassion is not a problem at all and it does not mean mankind has to become ordained and to live in caves as well as to paint wall pictures on the walls of the caves. Public hand and economy is mainly concerned about work and jobs but never ever concerned about understanding, motivation and actions. What is the understanding, what is the motivation and what are the actions? About the most important ascpect, because space and conciousness comes first it is the way that wisdom and compassion comes first, education is only about getting information in order to work/function in a treadmill like a hamster with the result of harmful causes and effects to once conciousness, the environemt, nature, animals and human beings/mankind. That&#8217;s called civilisation, well that&#8217;s a problem. We are not robots that need information in order to function/work in order to produce more impermanent luck that can&#8217;t make us happy or cause and effect freedom and wellbeing anyway because our freedom and wellbeing completely depends on our conciousness and state of conciousness.</p>
<p>Some say evolution is a fight and that the most violent/strongest will survive, well that&#8217;s not what evolution is that also is in contradiction with the fact than bön is so many thousand years old and this culture of wisdom and compassion/non-violence is still here. Also just take a look into history of mankind as well as the the fact that when you cut your finger regeneration and healing will happen and that is evolution/regeneration and healing or non-violence/non-duality/reality/interdependence/impermanence as well as that violence has failed and fails because it is in contradiction with reality/non-duality/non-violence.</p>
<p>So we don&#8217;t need to fight but can and should stop to fight because otherwise we will not survive because evolution will not stop to regenerate and heal. Cycle of elements is running and anything that is harmful/in contradiction has no chance to survive within this reality/non-duality/non-violence. So if we turn around this healing cause and effect, it becomes harmful cause and effect for ourself because we have turned it around, because we have made duality/violence out of non-duality/non-violence. But non-duality stays non-duality, so we can recover, mankind can recover, elements and nature can recover, we just need to stop violence by understanding non-violence/non-duality/reality by becoming aware of it by dharma study and practice.</p>
<p>So we are not hostile against Germany or China or someone/nations but because we understand the importance to avoid and overcome causes of violence and violence, we study and practice dharma/wisdom and compassion for the benefit of Germany/Europe/China/any nation. So please don&#8217;t turn against people who teach, study and practice dharma/wisdom and compassion for freedom and wellbeing of mankind.</p>
<p>Mankind/any nation deserves freedom and wellbeing unconditionally, that&#8217;s the natural &#8220;program/law/dharma/thatagat os&#8221; of space/reality/protection/regeneration and healing that is happening/there unconditionally, so any nation/mankind deserves dharma/wisdom and compassion/cultivating dignity because with violence we can&#8217;t cause and effect freedom and wellbeing because reality is non-violence/non-duality/protection/regeneration and healing. We can&#8217; escape space, so we can&#8217;t espace reality/non-violence/non-duality. To create the illusion of duality and to escape from reality into duality/illusion/eternalism and nihilism/dualism/narcissism/capitalism/communism/socialism/ism, will not help but cause and effect many problems. That&#8217;s in contradiction with reality but unfortuneately ignorance/violence is a part of reality and the best/only way to deal with it, to avoid worse and to come out of it is wisdom and compassion/dharma/non-violence/non-duality/reality.</p>
<p>Human beings have freedom to practice dignity/wisdom and compassion to avoid and overcome causes of violence/suffering and violence/suffering because they have conciousness because of space. This is for the benifit of all nations/human beings and animals, nature and mankind itself.</p>
<p>Thing with duality is that it is in conflict with another that is that good and evil is in conflict with another as well as that good and evil is in conflct with non-duality/reality/non-violence itself.</p>
<p>Good and bad actions are violence, one party says that good is right and evil is wrong and the other party says that evil is right and good is wrong. Non-duality says that there is no right and wrong but non-duality or non-violence/wisdom of non-duality and compassion that is free of good and evil/right and wrong and this is a problem for good and evil that are in conflict with another and with non-duality/reality/non-violence/wisdom and compassion/dharma.</p>
<p>Non-duality as well as interdependence means that everything is connected, nothing is independent but dynamicly interdependent and therefore everything is impermanent that means life, protection, regeneration and healing or transformation/tantra/liberation/freedom and wellbeing. This is freedom or the only freedom that is available or there is this basic freedom of lastingness and non-existence, there is no other freedom than this basic freedom of lastingness and non-existence but this causes and effects freedom and wellbeing as long we don&#8217;t turn it around because then this turning around is what is harmful for ourself.</p>
<p>The illusion of non-existence is where the illusions of evil, devil, death and aversion/bad actions arise from.<br />
The illusion of lastingness is where the illusions of good, god, only this life and attachment/good actions arise from.</p>
<p>Here religions have a problem with dharma because they worship god that blocks them to cause and effect what they actually want to cause and effect. This god and devil duality is an betray system/spirit worship to keep beings into the illusion of duality/samsara. Samsara has a good and bad side and some people think that when they are on the good side that everything is fine but heaven/good/god and hell/bad/devil is not nirvana it&#8217;s samsara.</p>
<p>&#8220;One Ring (duality/eternalism and nihilism/national law that contains the extremes of eternalism and nihilism) to rule them all, One Ring to find them,<br />
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness (samsara/duality) bind them&#8221;</p>
<p>Hey, we are not hamsters that run in a treadmill of Sauron/Satanism, we are buddhas!</p>
<p>Satan turned away from reality/non-duality/non-violence and created the duality of lasting and non-existent, god and devil, eternalism and nihilism, attachment and aversion, good and bad actions. So to pray to god is also to pray to devil (god and devil duality) or spirit worship and this is keeping up satanism/dualism or to cause and effect an empire/kigdom of satan/dualism/eternalism and nihilism (globalisation one nation/all nations under god/devil satanism/eternalism and nihilism) that is made out of the illusion of duality/god and devil/lasting and non-existence duality.</p>
<p>Satansim has two aspects one good aspect and one evil aspect like one coin is made out of two sides. Satanism/dualism/eternalism and nihilism has the two sides that is god and devil that is together and spirit worship and result is peace and war in the name of, right, god and devil (dualism/satanism/eternalism and nihililsm/just read national law, that&#8217;s the stuff/stanism). Yes, States/Republics/Religions with eternalism and nihilism/god and devil are satanic/dualistic cults of fallen angels that are in contradiction with reality/non-duality and that fight against teachers and students of dharma/wisdom and compassion.</p>
<p>Like the hamsters are accusing/blaming the non-hamsters for being a hamster.</p>
<p>Not to practice spirit worship/dualism and to turn away from dualisitc betray systems/satanism by taking refuge into buddha, dharma and sangha is wise and compassionate.</p>
<p>Nirvana is free of peace and war, free of heaven and hell, because reality is free of lastingness and non-existence/duality or reality is non-duality. So reality is free of god and devil. Did Jesus teached dualism, did Johannes teached dualism, did Abraham teached dualism? Did ancient egypt failed because of non-duality or dualism?</p>
<p>Do fallen angels want to create and globalise an empire of satanism/duality/dualism/eternalism and nihilism/violence?</p>
<p>So called exorcism prayers contain good parts and bad parts that is white and black magic (spirit worship and are harmful spells but not dharma) in order to cause good and bad (that of course is not dharma that is about to cause and effect freedom from luck and pain/good and bad by wisdom of non-duality and compassion) to cause and effect hell realms for other beings/enemies (but what you wish for others effects once own conciousness so it effects yourself in a harmful way), of course that&#8217;s not loving kindness/wisdom and compassion/dharma. Dharma is about getting all out of heaven and hell and to avoid to cause and effect heaven and hell by wisdom of non-duality and compassion to cause and effect nirvana/wisdom and compassion that is the only freedom and wellbeing that is available.</p>
<p>Within religion/states/republics, there is alot/something in contradiction with reality/non-duality/non-violence/dharma that is talking about that harmful (good and bad) actions have an harmful effect within our conciousness and that with applying wisdom and compassion there is regeneration and healing happening that pills can&#8217;t do at all/pills can&#8217;t perform wisdom and compassion. Well i have never seen a pill that can practice wisdom and compassion but i have seen that by selling pills they can make alot of money and sideeffects to make money with again.</p>

<p>Reality is free of lastingness and non-existence, free of duality like good and evil, god and devil, good and bad, friend and enemy.

Our body is the seat of all peaceful and wrathful deities/aspects, our body is our pure mandala-house and the environment is the human realm where we perform/study and practice wisdom and compassion for the benifit/freedom and wellbeing of all beings.</p>
<p>When you go to a concentration camp there is a lable that says that work liberates and lobbyism talks about work and jobs but they never talked/talk about wisdom, compassion and 6 paramitas, isn&#8217;t it. Work does not liberate and we understand that only wisdom and compassion protects and liberates, so wisdom and compassion first!</p>
<p>To understand Tibet and Tibetan culture a little bit non-dual perception and experience of reality is required. But once you have experienced non-dual perception and experience of reality, even just for a short time, you&#8217;ll start to understand Tibet and Tibetan culture or dharma culture much better. Then you will understand Buddha, then you will understand Dharma, then you will understand Sangha, then you will understand Ghandi, then you will understand HHDL and CTA.</p>
<p>Please give non-duality/reality/non-violence a chance.</p>
<p>There is violence/good and bad actions/suffering that is impermanent, that means that violence/good and bad actions/suffering has causes that are impermanent, that means that we can avoid causes of violence/good and bad actions/suffering and violence/good and bad actions/suffering, that means that there is a way to avoid causes of violence/good and bad actions/suffering and violence/good and bad actions/suffering that is dharma/non-violence/non-duality/wisdom and compassion.</p>
<p>Please don&#8217;t turn mankind into hamsters that run in a treadmill of an kingdom of hamsters to keep up the kingdom of hamsters until it crashes itself and all hamsters. Human beings are not hamsters they are buddhas (wise and compassionate human beings).</p>
<p>May all dharmapalas protect all teachers and students of dharma with their wisdom of non-duality and compassion. And may Vajrakilaya destroy all harmful powers within all beings that are hostile to wisdom and compassion. May all students of dharma realise their nirmanakaya, sambhogakaya and dharmakaya aspects swiftly, may the blessings of all enlightenend beings support them and may all dakas and dakinis inspire all students of dharma to study and practice dharma.</p>
<p>Love you all.</p>
<p>Namo Nepal/Shakyamuni<br />
Namo Buddha<br />
Namo Dharma<br />
Namo Sangha</p>

		<description>Promise #1: Give up Dorje Shugden because it will help the Tibetan cause - It was the Dalai Lama and his advisors who went the Umaylam way, and due to the ineptness of CTA there is no more dialogue with the Chinese Government. 
Promise #2: Give up Dorje Shugden because it will protect the Dalai Lama and extend his life - The 14th Dalai Lama is one of the longest living Dalai Lama of all times, and there are even much more Dorje Shudgen people in the world than before Tibet met the rest of the world.
Promise #3: Give up Dorje Shugden so the Chinese stop spying on us - 
Many Anti Dorje Shudgen people have accused of China giving out funds to us so we can weaken Tibetan society and cause, does the Chinese Government have my name to pass money via Western Union. NOT!
PROMISE #4: Giving up Dorje Shugden will lead to a harmonious Tibetan society 
The Dorje Shugden issue was the beginning of chaos within Tibetan community and society, and more have creeped in like the two Karmapa issue, Drukpa Kagyu monasteries being forcibly converted to Karma Kagyu ones, seizing Domo Geshe property, people are using Dorje Shudgen issue to fatten their pockets, fights broke up between parliamentarians and Jonang monks, more drama than dharma!</description>
