Syvia Wong writes in Karmapa Prophecies, a book written under the gudance of Shamarpa (pg. 44):

Dorje Shugden is a deity force
“Dorje Shugden tried to
harm Sharnarpa. In response, Sharmarpa immediately meditated in the wrathful form of Guru Padmasarnbhava and subdued the evil.”

Shamarpa is said to be the red hat Karmapa. Other accounts were given that 16th Karmapa rejected Sugden strongly when he saw a Shugden Statue in a tibetan center in Lyaon France in 1974.

I agree that how un-Buddhist to do such things. As a Buddhist, we practice compassion and acceptance. We should not belittle and be disrespectful to anyone nor any religious beliefs and etc. If anyone think that the Shugden practice is not good, then prove it and show compassion and patience and practice what you preached as a Buddhist instead of creating disharmony and conflicts.

“The two posts above (by padam and Anonymous) are a sad testimonial of the rampant anti-Shugden irrational fanaticism and sectarian hatred.” couldnt have said it better meself.

@ padam, why doesnt the title match? The Karmapa did ask for the statue to be removed; that depiction of Guru Dragpo was derogatory of Dorje Shugden and the Karmapa said to remove it.

Since you bring up Kopan, why dont you ask those in the know in Kopan what it is they did to Pabongka Rinpoche? How they backstabbed the lama who gave all of us the lamrim lineage by causing schism with his sponsors?

Since you bring up Kopan, why dont you ask them why is it Lama Zopa has manifested a stroke and no longer teaches? Why is it Lama Osel refuses to be directly involved as the head of FPMT? Now that the students have broken their samaya, who will take over Kopan when H.E. Zopa Rinpoche unfortunately manifests clear light?

@ Anonymous, nothing else to say other than have some balls and use your name

Great article, thanks for re-posting it.

The two posts above (by padam and Anonymous) are a sad testimonial of the rampant anti-Shugden irrational fanaticism and sectarian hatred.

I heard in India from a pro-Dalai Lama Gelugpa monk that is well known that Nyingmapas would refuse to offer long life puja to the Dalai Lama unless he banned the practice of Dorje Shugden.

This account fits the description above, of an image where Dorje Shugden was trampled by a Nyingma protector, in a Nyingma-oriented monastery (the so-called Ka-Nying monastery)

There are very compelling researches suggesting that the murdering of Drakpa Gyaltsen was perpetrated by a Nyingmapa from Bhutan (with the accomplicity of the 5th Dalai Lama’s regent and likely son).

I think there is a need for scrutinizing and exposing rampant sectarian hatred within some Nyingma quarters, completely unfitting with the sublime example of real teachers such as Dilgo Khyentse and Penor Rinpoches.

The late Nyingma head Dudjom himself proudly boasts of the gruesome episode where his “protector” decapitated a dissatisfied creditor and offered his head in a tray. These seem to be the same kind of folks behind the sectarian gangsterism against Dorje Shugden practitioners.

” I could be wrong, but perhaps this is just plain politics, especially in Nepal where all schools of Buddhism and monasteries are out there to compete for survival, earning tourist bucks and the support of local community is more important than real Buddhadharma? However, this does not justify the derogatory portrayal of another lineage’s protector, definitely un-Buddhist? :-[ I hope the time that Karmapa’s prophecised will come soon “…………….

Writer may watch his words.First Go nepal study Nepal s Monastery Then Write Artical. Kopan Monastery , Mahayana Buddhist Society are examples of great Monastery where you cant point as Tourist hub……Most Important Thing is Your Title of Artical Named ” Karmapa asked anti-Shugden statue to be removed ” didnt match with Your words jerk
