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? Things have become worse and most educated Tibetans can see this. They don’t speak out not because they don’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. There is no harmony. 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. There are videos that capture your speech and prove this point. 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. So many people in the west left Buddhism because of the confusion you created with this ban against Dorje Shugden which is immoral.

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. Your biggest failure is not getting Tibet back after 57 years in exile. 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. So many self-immolated for a free Tibet and now you want Tibet to be a part of China with no referendum from Tibetans. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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. How can you insult our gurus whom we respect so much? If they can be wrong, then you can be wrong. 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.

This ban is beyond spiritual as it transgresses one’s right to basic human rights of freedom of choice. The basic freedom to choice their religion. Denying this right, implies the lack of democracy in the system however much you shout that there is freedom and democracy. It’s all talk and talk is cheap.

May the CTA come to a neutral stand and give this freedom back to the Tibetans in exile.

First of all, the practise of Dorje Shugden came from the same Master who brought the high tantric practises that the Dalai Lama teaches on and gives initiations on. Tagpu Pemavajra astral travelled to Tushita to receive the complete practise on Dorje Shugden. He also gave us the complete practise of Cittamani Tara and Vajrayogini. Can this Master be right about Cittamani Tara and wrong about Dorje Shugden? Once you are attained, you ARE attained. There is no “yes” and “no” about it. So if the Dalai Lama says Dorje Shugden is spirit and then keeps giving Cittamani Tara practise to everyone, what is he espousing?

Secondly, it is very easy to say just do your practise and don’t make the ban an issue, especially when you live in your comfortable life where you have freedom to go anywhere you like, eat anything you like, buy anything you like and practise anything you like. Well, maybe you should do more research on how much suffering the people in “refugee” camps in India are going through for their religious belief. Denied access to shop for even basic necessities and food, denied access to medical treatments, denied access to their own temples sponsored and built by them, threaten & beaten all the time, their home and place of worship invaded and smashed up, denied access to identity documents, denied voting rights….in other words denied of existence other than to be blamed for all the unfulfilled promises of the Dalai Lama and CTA. Yes, sit in your comfortable sofa, watch your TV and be ignorant of the real sufferings that are going on. After all, it doesn’t affect you right!

May the Dalai Lama swiftly manifest his true wisdom and compassion to lift the Ban for the sake of sentient beings.

His advise is purely based on teacher disciple relationship. He has mentioned in his teachings to his students that worshiping Shugden may be detrimental to the harmony of the Tibetan people. He has mentioned time and time again, that you can practice what ever faith you wish, after all we all live in a free world and no one could dictate what you wish to worship.

I think those practicing Dorje Shugden should simply practice and not make it an issue, unless you are looking to make it an issue and amass membership for your for your financial gains.

Also, I understand that this group and especially its leaders are largely funded by and is under good graces of the Peoples Republic of Communist China.

I believe the goal of this group is to distract attention from the real on-going religious, environmental, and human rights abuses taking place in Tibet under the repressive PRC policies.

This ban on Dorje Shugden would also be (in my opinion) ridiculous. Reason being that there is no reason for this ban at all. The Dalai Lama is Chenrezig, how is it possible that as an enlightened being you are not able to tell that the practice is negative in your younger days and in previous incarnations? It is only now that you suddenly realised that the practice is bad, and people are not suppose to practice as it would harm you? With the fact that the Dalai Lama is Chenrezig, it shows that there is nothing negative that would be able to hurt the Dalai Lama as the Dalai Lama is an enlightened being that is free from Karma. With that being said, the Dalai Lama should not be experiencing any negative effects.

Have people ever wondered why did the Dalai Lama ban the practice but only allowed his teacher Trijang Rinpoche to practice Dorje Shugden? If the practice is really bad and negative, shouldn’t everyone stop this practice? Why are there exceptions to [the ban of Dorje Shugden?

At the same time, if this practice is really bad and negative, then why would high lamas and monks that practice Dorje Shugden to their last breath would still reincarnate into this world benefiting more sentient beings in their present incarnation? Shouldn’t these lamas that practice Dorje Shugden till their last breath reincarnate into the lower realm as they are practicing a demonic practice?

Thus, I say that this ban to Dorje Shugden practice is really not necessary as there is no main reason for the ban at all. The only reason that is given is that it would harm the Dalai Lama’s life. However, like what I said before, there is no reason for that to happen as if Dorje Shugden is unenlightened, how is he able to be harming someone that is enlightened?
