		<description>Understand that in actuality someone like Lama Yeshe who had passed away did not need pujas or prayers performed for his fortunate rebirth as he was highly attained and can control both his death and rebirth. Instead, the pujas were performed more so for the students, in order to collect tremendous amounts of merit, to ensure that they will be able to reconnect again with their Lama in his next incarnation. Unfortunately, it doesn’t happen as we can see Lama Osel return in a perfect form but the students have no merits to retain him or make him return to continue his legacy. It makes sense because FPMT renounce Lama Yeshe which is Shugden practitioners but FPMT would rather be political right to go along with Dalai Lama to ostracise Shugden practitioners. As long as they don’t amend their samaya I doubt anything will happen between FPMT and Lama Osel.</description>

		<description>It is such a pity that Lama Yeshe passed away so young. He was a highly attained lama, if he did not pass away, I think FPMT will be even bigger than what it is now. His relationship with his lama, Zong Rinpoche was so closed that Zong Rinpoche even went to perform the last rite for him. 

It is said that Lama Yeshe actually didn&#039;t need Zong Rinpoche to do his last rite as he was a highly attained lama himself. It is more for the students to collect merits so they can find the reincarnation of Lama Yeshe and have him turn the wheel of Dharma again. The students did find the reincarnation of Lama Yeshe (Lama Osel) who took rebirth in a Spanish family.  But turning the wheel of Dharma, it is not the case.

Lama Osel was enthroned and received his monastic education at a very young age. Unfortunately, he decided to disrobe and live the life of a layperson when he was older, he did not do much Dharma activity in this life. The students have the merits to find Lama Yeshe&#039;s reincarnation but they don&#039;t have the merits to have their lama to continue his Dharma work in FPMT.

How Lama Osel manifests in this life is mainly determined by the Samaya of the students with him and also the merits of the students. By FPMT giving up Dorje Shugden practice, they have already broken their Samaya with the teacher. Not only that, but FPMT also criticises and discriminates the Dorje Shugden practitioners, they should know Dorje Shugden is a practice Lama Yeshe held to his heart very closely, how can they treat this sacred practice of the guru so badly? All of these actions are the causes for Lama Osel not to come back to FPMT. If FPMT wants their lama to come back, they have a lot of purification practices to do.</description>

		<description>&lt;font color=#1155Cc class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;Too bad - Lama Osel disrobed, never finished his studies, achieved nothing much in his secular life, just running around with his girlfriend and clubbing in Ibizia, Spain.&lt;/font&gt; His previous life accomplished so much with the help of his determination, hard work and Dorje Shugden. Lama Yeshe credited much of his success to the help he was bestowed by Dorje Shugden. By FPMT abanding Dorje Shugden, they broke their samaya with their lineage gurus such as Trijang Rinpoche and Zong Rinpoche from whom they received the Dorje Shugden sogtae commitment practice. Also it was with Lama Yeshe’s permission they received sogtae from these great masters. By abandoning the practice, they broke their spiritual bond (samaya) which is sacred in tantra with Lama Yeshe and lineage lamas. So it is no surprise Lama Yeshe came back in this incarnation unable to manifest being a great dharma teacher like his previous life. It is a shame and embarrassment to FPMT that Lama Osel ended up not doing much. It is a testimony to their failure in keeping their samaya to their guru and lineage lamas. FPMT wanted fame and rub shoulders with the famous and in return, they lost Lama Yeshe. &lt;font color=#1155Cc class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;After Lama Zopa passes away, FPMT will just go down for sure. &lt;/font&gt;No one can take over. Breaking their samaya was the wrong thing to do. 

So many more pictures and information to read here: http://www.dorjeshugden.com/forum/index.php?topic=6197.0</description>

		<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>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.

You separate the Shugden Buddhists from the others in Tibetan society.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Dorje Shugden will spread and further grow, but you will be no more as you are a human. <font color=#cc4125 class="bbcode-color">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.</font> 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.</p>
<p>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. <font color=#cc4125 class="bbcode-color">How can you insult our gurus whom we respect so much? If they can be wrong, then you can be wrong.</font> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

		<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>11 very salient points in this article, thanks. The question that has always troubled me the most is that of Lama Yeshe&#039;s continued presence on the altars of FPMT students. If Shugden practitioners are so evil and engage in spirit worship then why do FPMT students continue to prostrate and take refuge with the &#039;spirit worshipper&#039; that is Lama Yeshe who did not give up the practice prior to his passing? Riddle me this! Hey FPMT, wake up. The stench of your hypocrisy is overwhelming.</description>

		<description>Thank you for this amazing article. 

After reading this article I feel that the students of the organization are very unfortunate. At the same time, this article also reminds me not to break my samaya with my Guru, because lack of merits from the side of students will cause the Guru to &#039;leave&#039; their body, manifesting sickness and worst of all, death. 
I hope, FPMT can restructure their organization&#039;s direction and hope Lama Ösel to be able to manifest and continue with his enlightened activities.</description>

		<description>It sad to note that good, clean samaya for the Guru is a rarity nowadays. It seems that it is practiced by the older monks and no longer is held in importance by the younger generation monks.

The broken samaya will only bring about decay in lineage as the teachings will not be held tightly but being subject to the forces of politics. Very sad, indeed.</description>

		<description>I do not think FPMT can ever address or it will be able to address issue and the points that was brought up above. It is so sad that FPMT would choose fame, and being politically correct to maintaining their Samaya to their Gurus and teachers that have graced their doors. 

I think eventually FPMT decline will be directly linked to them having given up the Dorje Shudgen practices. So much potential built up by Lama Yeshe and Dorje Shugden into this organisation and now there is no much more hope for them, if they maintain their broken samaya with their founder and Dorje Shudgen.</description>
