Well done ISC!! It is so heart warming to see this! Yes, we must have religious freedom! Turning people away just because the Dalai Lama doesn’t agree / approve on their practice??? In Tibet, yes, he is their spiritual leader. He said 1, nobody dare to say 2. But this is the world! He is facing the world! People around the world are watching his show! Hopefully he makes a good show. It seems now he pushed everything back to 5th Dalai Lama. That was, 400 years ago? Really, I feel like, Chinese saying “he said it all!” That means, suddenly like this, suddenly like that. Sometimes he says this is true, sometimes he says this is not true. No fix statement. However, this protest really indeed is a good news to all the Dorje Shugden practitioners out there. Let’s hope that the Dorje Shugden ban will be lifted soon.

Wow! This is good news for Dorje Shugden practitioners. Everyone should be given the freedom to protest and to voice out their thoughts. And when a protest happens, it should be in a peaceful manner whereby no attacks should happen. Peaceful protest is the way to be. If someone uses forceful manner, what outcome will you get? Thinking from other point, if you hurt someone during the protest, what karma will you accumulate? 700 people turned up for a protest is no joke. The people have make the effort to be there and to show Dalai Lama that his ban should be lifted soon. I pray that this Shugden ban be lifted soon.

Very well done Washington!

We must make our voice heard, exposure the injustice behavior of CTA imposing the ban on Dorje Shugden practitioner.

I must congratulate the two ISC members who asked the Dalai Lama if Trijang Rinpoche and Ling Rinpoche were wrong about Dorje Shugden. The Dalai Lama could not answer their second question. There is no room for lying or manipulation at all, as the whole wide world already knew that CTA and HHDL are behind the ban, there are just too many evidence and witness to testified against CTA and their cronies.

We must be brave, have courage and don’t simply give up any work we are doing now to bring down this injustice ban, in fact, we need more people to joint forces with dorjeshugden.com to bring down the ban. We need to get all information and facts stated inside dorjeshugden.com spread out to lots more people, put on Facebook and twitter whenever we can, spread the words out! We need to be heard and we want more people to help doing this.

We need more people who has the same courage like the ISC members that confront CTA and HHDL directly asking why are they doing this? No one can fool the public anyone cos we all know Dorje Shugden is Manjushri and he is a Buddha.

This quote from International Shugden Society representative Len Foley makes a powerful point; “One unacceptable aspect of the Dalai Lama’s discrimination right here in the US, is that he has openly banned people of this faith [Shugden faith] from attending his talk at the National Cathedral this week. This means that thousands of Americans who rely upon the practice of Dorje Shugden are not welcome to attend. To our knowledge this is the first time in the history of the National Cathedral that people have been turned away from this illustrious National monument on grounds of their religious belief.”

It is heartwarming to see so many devoted practitioners near and afar gathered together for a peaceful protest to have the rights to religious freedom. What DS practitioners are asking for is to practice without being ostracized and treated like criminals. Not only are DS practitioners deprived of religious freedom, they are also deprive to freedom of speech. When two braved protestors managed to question the Dalai Lama; they were escorted out from the National Cathedral. http://www.dorjeshugden.com/forum/index.php?topic=4713.0. What is baffling is that the Dalai Lama speaks of peace, harmony and compassion yet when it comes to Dorje Shugden practitioners it is the contrary.

May the ban be lifted soon as it has already caused so much pain and sufferings.

They were total 700 people stand up to voice out give religious freedom and Dalai Lama stop lying. I feel very touch that they are a group of people really care and dare to defence for their lineage, fight for religious freedom. Now is the time to make known to the public how unreasonable for the ban. The ISC members really done a very good job by having such peaceful rally. I believe more and more people will come in to tell Dalai Lama stop lying, lift the ban. By the time for those supporters of the ban will realise how innocent they follow blindly without any query on the ban. Please give religious freedom.

Very good! Very good! Its wonderful to see such a huge turn up to protest peacefully in the freezing cold. They all have such good guru devotion to be standing there and have raised their own funds to make sure they make it in time to protest. Everything was so organised and peaceful. Their voices are definitely heard all over the world.

Many people around the world practicing Dorje Shugden has been suppressed by so many anti-ds it is good that these beautiful people are speaking up for them, being the voice for them.

It’s being taken notice by the CTA, its being taken notice by H.H.D.L, its being taken notice by the anti-ds, but most importantly its being taken notice by the public and they will learn more about the ban and they will learn more why it is wrong.

Lesly and Celine, we cannot put H.H.D.L down because through how much His Holiness has spread Dharma throughout the west we cannot stop His Holiness and ruin his reputation because there are still many hundred thousands possibly millions that has benefited from Buddhism or could benefit from it.

All we should focus on is to peacefully focus on removing the ban and give us the religious freedom to practice Dorje Shugden and by doing so bringing more awareness to the public and the anti-ds community that what is going on is wrong.

The name “His Holiness” is fast going down the drain with the ban.

“His Holiness” either needs to change his name, or start living up to it.

The ban is shaking! It is weakening! The more the suppression the more the protest. Don’t dodge Dalai Lama. Give religious freedom.
