		<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>Geshe Kelsang Gyatso is a tireless propounded of the teachings of Je Tsongkapa and the Dorje Shugden practise. He is such an inspiration and example of Guru Devotion as he stood firm to his practise of enlightened Dorje Shugden during the ban by the Dalai Lama and CTA. In keeping his samaya pure with his Guru, his dharmic deeds spread far and wide successfully. How blessed the monks are to receive his book, The Oral Instructions of Mahamudra’. Thank you dorjeshugden.com for bringing to us Geshe Kelsang Gyatso&#039;s enlightened activities.</description>

		<description>It is just great that the monks of Shar Ganden could receive books from Geshela. It is great that Geshela&#039;s book are out in public for all to read as well. It is just such a great piece of news that the monks are receiving books so that they will be able to improve their knowledge and also have more items to study and read. 

Thank you Geshela for making this available for the monks, and thank you DS.com administrators for sharing with us such great news. 

Buddhists are people who share and care for others around us, not putting anyone down. Through the act of Geshela, it has clearly showed the kind of kindness that Geshela has.</description>

		<description>Shar Gaden requested for the books, it must be an indication that the books written by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso are faultless. There are people who said Geshe-la&#039;s books deviate from the original meaning of the scriptures, now they are proven wrong. If Geshe-la&#039;s books do not reflect the real meaning, the monastery will not request for his books at all. 

No matter how people criticise Geshe-la or isolate him, he still continue to turn the wheel of Dharma and did not give up. Look at how big his organisation is. I rejoice for Geshe-la&#039;s works and wish Geshe-la long life and remain with us for a very long time.</description>

		<description>Geshela is very kind to offer this book to the monks of Shar Gaden. Due to the Dorje Sugden ban geshela was excommunicated from his mother monastery yet he held no grudge and supports the Gaden tradition whole heartedly and this shows his true nature that despite problems and difficulty Geshela faces them with much courage.</description>

		<description>I rejoice at this most gracious gift of 500 copies of the &quot;Oral Instruction of Mahamudra&quot; to the monks of Shar Gaden, upon their request, by its author the unexcelled Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. Such unsurpassed instructions on the Mahamudra - the Main Path of Attainment of the Conqueror Buddha -must have been received with great joy by the Shar Gaden monks.

It was most uncalled for to even suggest that the books had been given to Shar Gaden because they could not be sold!</description>
