History has shown the amongst many things that any disagreement can bring are quarrel & fighting for ones believe that can lead to disharmony & eventually suffering for both sides. What is happening in the Gaza war although no in the same intensity or scale had also happened or is happening in the Tibetan community among the Pro & Anti DS practitioners. Causing family members to choose side & separated, turn friends into foes, monks & nuns to be expelled from their monasteries, violence & even death to some who propitiate the protector practices. If this is unchecked, it will only bring more disharmony among the Tibetan people & it is totally unproductive to both sides as the 2 factions would become more separated instead of unity which will not do any good to the Tibetan cause. I sincerely hope that the pro Dalai Lama people would consider this eventuality & stop all theses nuisance by urging Dalai Lama to lifted the ban and hence restoring the conditions & causes for the real Tibetan cause.

The Dalai Lama always make such compassionate statements but none of that carry water due to the Dorje Shugden ban and his failure to issue statements to condemn self immolation. Its just too sad because he is such a powerful Buddhist figure and if only he would abolish the Dorje Shugden ban. This is all we ask of His Holiness. It is time for reconciliation between Shugden and non-Shugden practitioners. This is just so sad.

The Jews and Arabs were cousins yet now they are at each other's throats for the past 50 years. Though the rivalry between the Jews and Arabs simmered throughout the ages, now it is clear and distinct and direct confrontation. It is wrong and unjust to ban, stop, harass others to give up their life's practice, under any kind of law. The ban must come down. Religious conflicts or disputes often do not lead to good endings.

Inviting the Dalai Lama to speak about it is a journalistic gimmick to create headlines. I would like to take a step away from undoing the Dalai Lama for imposing the Dorje Shugden ban and look at how desperate the world is in clinging on to an epitome of Peace. Would they kill the image of the Dalai Lama? I repeat, it is an image of the Dalai Lama that has been projected by the media and the western world that was initially used by the US to attack China. About 50 years had passed since the deployment of the Tibet movement to tarnish China's reputation. Well, it is a fact and an accepted fact that China does not give a sh*t about world pressure and continues its unwanted stay in Tibet. The Tibetans-in-exile are probably more Indian than the natives of mother India. So, today as it stands, what does independence mean for Tibet? What role then does the Dalai Lama have to play but one that becomes an iconic Buddhist monk for Hollywood stars? The Gaza war is indeed sad and inhumane.
