Yet. the Dalai Lama and those lamas supporting the ban are going around teaching loving compassion and kindness, and CTA officials making public statements wrongly portraying themselves as peace loving people. And these people want Tibetans and other foreign governments to support them for an independent or autonomous Tibet? For what? So that the CTA can continue putting down their people just because of their religious beliefs and rights? CTA is just interested in one thing, power. The power to rule the people and with that, the financial wealth they hope to accrue for their own families. And with power and wealth, they further cling on to pride.

Milarepa was a mass murderer who dedicated his early days to the dark arts and killed an entire village for revenge. After relaizing his mistake, Milarepa was given the chance to practice pure Dharma by his Guru, Marpa, and gained liberation within the very lifetime. The story of Milarepa is a clear illustration of the level of compassion of the Dharma. If a mass murderer who used demonic practice to murder is welcomed to the Dharma, why not Dorje Shguden practitioners? In fact, if it is true that Dorje Shugden is evil and all, then those who uphold His practice should be even closer to the pure Dharma. I understand that there is not contradiction in authentic Dharma teaching and practice. Therefore, the glaring and repetitive contradiction in the stance taken against Dorje Shugden and His practitioners is a good sign to everyone that there is something very fishy about this ban.
