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? Things have become worse and most educated Tibetans can see this. They don’t speak out not because they don’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. There is no harmony. 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. There are videos that capture your speech and prove this point. 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. So many people in the west left Buddhism because of the confusion you created with this ban against Dorje Shugden which is immoral.

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. Your biggest failure is not getting Tibet back after 57 years in exile. 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. So many self-immolated for a free Tibet and now you want Tibet to be a part of China with no referendum from Tibetans. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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. How can you insult our gurus whom we respect so much? If they can be wrong, then you can be wrong. 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.

President Obama is a politician and has to walk a very fine line when it comes to economic and political decisions. Tibet is but a pawn in the balance of powers globally. The US will have to recognize China more than Tibet.

2 years down the road from this article, the Dalai Lama has softened his stance against the Dorje Shugden practice. Can he be trusted? either way?

In US, even the devil worshippers have the rights to freedom of religion and their practises unless they harm others. So why the Shugden practitioners have to practise under abuse, persecution, segregation, denial of necessities, education and financial aid (from the millions donated by countries and individuals to help them), etc. It is clear that the Dalai Lama and CTA are but a pawn in the USA’s political game against China. After all the Dalai Lama and CTA are on the CIA’s payroll and for what purpose may one ask?

I personally think that the Dalai Lama and CTA are in the wrong camp. US will never be able to help them with independence or autonomy of Tibet. Why? Because China is a economic and political force to be recon with as they are holding much of US’s economic debt in their hands. A recall and US will be bankrupt. So if the Dalai Lama wants autonomy, then stop all the subterfuge against China and control CTA into the same line of thoughts. Stop using enlightened Dorje Shugden as your pawn and unite your people into the same voice. With China, you may at least get back into Tibet, whereas with US, you will always remain a lackey.

On the other hand, Tibet under China has been showing a lot of progress, the Tibetan in Tibet has enjoy the benefits of both economy & spirituality growth in Tibet. There are much peace & joy among most Tibetan people in Tibet nowadays.

If the CTA are truly working towards the benefits of all Tibetan people, instead of demanding Independence from China they should improve their bilateral tie with the Chinese authorities for the sake of all Tibetan. How far can Tibet growth if it is left alone without the influence & connection to China? Even the most powerful nations in the West are maintaining very close tie with China for the very same reason.

Why should the CTA and HHDL Ban the Dorje Shugden practice and discriminate the practitioners ? I am not going to go into the reasons stated by the CTA or HHDL to propagate this Ban, as we all know it does not make much sense and all are refutable.

Now if the Dalai Lama had not become associated with various issues (Dorje Shugden, Karmapa, etc), perhaps Obama would be more open to meeting him. Why? Because if the Dalai Lama were just a religious leader, then Obama can always say he is meeting someone who teaches the truth. But now Obama cannot say that because the Dalai Lama has become inextricably linked with Free Tibet and politics. In this way, the failing of the Tibetan leadership is that they politicised the Dalai Lama’s image, which makes it very hard for His Holiness to meet with anyone who is happier courting China.

Thus, if anything, the fact leaders do not wish to associate with His Holiness anymore is entirely of his own doing and that of his people. After 55 years, you would think that the Dalai Lama’s star continues to rise if what he teaches is truth and hope. Yet leaders like Obama are increasingly reluctant to appear next to the Dalai Lama because where his image once stood for truth, due to the recent actions of his people, it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to overlook the failings of the Tibetan administration to which the Dalai Lama’s image is linked.
