		<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>&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>There are so many evidence supporting the mismanagement of funds by the CTA. But no one wants to be the bad guy to start digging into the finances. But lately people like Congressman Dana Rohrabacher raised questions about it. 

http://www.dorjeshugden.com/all-articles/news/congressman-dana-rohrabachers-warning-over-unethical-tibetan-elections/

Are there enough people out there, people of influence who can and will do the thing, speak up? Doubt so. Which is why the CTA is so blatant  about not keeping proper accounts of their financial standing. Anyway, who is there to audit them and penalize them  should there be fraud? 

Are the Buddhist going to say, &#039;oh..let them be....karma will bite back at them..&#039;. In the meantime, the Tibetans in exile are in double jeopardy. They are stateless with no future. They are divided and oppressed. So are they better than slaves? don&#039;t think so. They have to do as the CTA says. 

Which leads to another question.&#039;are the Tibetans so vulgar and violent because the CTA are holding them ransom?&#039;

So, the most compassionate thing the holder of the Nobel Peace Prize can do is to unite the Tibetans. That&#039;s not even going into spirituality and the true teachings of the Buddha yet. Just a mundane view.

My apologies to the admin, for dragging mundane views here. It is very difficult being spiritual when you see that the basic tenets are not adhered to - be mindful and aware. The refuge vows of :-

To refrain from harming living creatures (killing).
To refrain from taking that which is not given (stealing).
To refrain from sexual misconduct.
To refrain from false speech.
To refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refuge_(Buddhism)#Precepts


They probably will interpret it to their samsaric views. Sad, really.</description>

		<description>CTA is just doomed! They rely on the Dalai Lama to court with the West in order to bring home donations and sponsorship. Then, they take this money and use it to fund the many programs to enforce the Dorje Shugden ban. How unfortunate! Once the Dalai Lama is not around anymore, most Tibetans would immediate fled to the West or naturalize as India citizens. By then, the Tibetan society as we know it.</description>

		<description>Thanks for sharing this article. Big shame to the Tibetan government for not doing anything for the people and let them continue to suffer despite financial helps pouring from various countries. Hope more people are aware of this unfair treatment and action to be taken soon to help the people.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s funny that even though there are so much evidence of the leadership&#039;s corruption floating around the internet, there&#039;s not a single person from the states who speaks up against it. Yet that they are the biggest donor to the Tibetan cause, supposedly donating to the betterment of Tibet. 

Obviously the leadership has not done anything pleasant/ substantial with the funds they have received. They did not build more schools nor hospitals, they did not build houses for the poor, and instead they encourages violence against Dorje Shugden practitioners, funding some people to take out Dorje Shugden practitioners. Such a great shame to the leadership.</description>

		<description>Shame on the Tibetan leadership for betraying the world by using and portraying an ideal civilisation based on the Buddhist ideals of love and compassion. I was asking around and it seems that the ancient Indians actually considered the Tibetans to be barbarians. That was why the Indian pandits and mahasiddhas were so helpful in spreading the Dharma there. It was because they had compassion that they wanted to see their Tibetan brothers and sisters benefit from the Dharma.

But woe, this is no longer the case. The previous masters both Indian AND Tibetan would be so disapointed with the current corrupt state of affairs.</description>

		<description>Yes, wake up. Wake up donors, Tibetans, world - see for yourself what exactly has the CTA achieved apart from suppressing its own Tibetan people and create disharmony and segregation while ignoring their needs for a status and a stable place they can safely call home. What has the CTA done with the donations and claimed to do? These are valid questions the donors can and should ask so to make sure the sum is being put to good use.

It is so obvious there are no results from the CTA and the self-immolation are a waste of precious lives towards nothing. How pitiful that people are sacrificing for nothing and contribute to nothing. It is so depressing just by the thought of it. 

The CTA has to be transparent with their spending and proof to people where the sum has been allocated and for what. This is a smart way to garner even more donations as people are generally kind and they are more than happy to give seeing the impact and result of their donations. I suppose the CTA will not do so for the group is formed by selfish politicians who are short-sighted and couldn&#039;t care less about the benefits of their own people. Why would this kind of government deserves any respect and support to say the least?</description>
