When one already has a guru, it is best not to request for teachings from gurus from another tradition. It has nothing to do with religious freedom, which is a foreign concept and does not take into consideration one's vows to one's teacher. One should be clear about this and know the difference between guru devotion and religious freedom. I agree with what Arisa said above about the importance of guru devotion.

Ling Rinpoche may hav e skilfully say that if you take Secret Essence Tantra Dhogyal would be angry and harm. But Dhogyal being an Enlightened Being will not harm. I think Ling Rinpoche would have accessed the situation and think that since you are already into one practice. You don't have to have another. If Ling Rinpoche is your Guru you don't have to take another practice from another Guru. He knows best what is good for you and he has not violated your choice of Religious freedom. If he stops you there must be a reason. Guru Devotion is more important than practicing Tantra without Guru Devotion.
