50,000 and no monk??

[DharmaDefender]

Just a friendly reminder of the help that Dorje Shugden has previously given His Holiness...

50,000 troops and they STILL couldnt find His Holiness when he was fleeing Tibet? Had to have been Shugden.

The Chinese were yesterday using planes and some fifty thousand troops, including paratroops, to search the Tibetan mountain passes for the Dalai Lama. But according to reports from Kalimpong, in North-east India, the Tibetan religious leader, moving only by night, was expected to cross the frontier within a few days.

Meanwhile in New Delhi, Mr Silun Lukhangwa, a former Tibetan Premier, said it was hoped to send a delegation to the United Nations to protest against Chinese action in his country. He was speaking after two Tibetan groups had appealed for Indian aid in the crisis in an interview with Mr Nehru. An Indian official press release merely said: "Mr Nehru spoke to them briefly, expressing the hope that the present difficulties in Tibet would end peacefully. He made it clear that India was not in a position to intervene and in fact would not like to take any steps which might aggravate the situation there."

The Dalai Lama is accompanied on his flight by his mother and sisters, as well as most members of the Tibetan Cabinet, it was learned yesterday. His progress on the 200-mile trek to safety is slow, but it was believed in Kalimpong yesterday that reports that he had been injured in a fall were incorrect. The territory through which he is believed to be moving is the roadless mountainous region of the Tibetan plateau, south-east of Lhasa, bordering Bhutan and the Indian North-east Frontier Agency. The Indian north-east frontier region has been closed to anyone without a permit, and it was stated in New Delhi that no permits could be issued at present.

Reports said the Chinese were dropping paratroopers in an effort to intercept the Dalai Lama. Other troops were going from village to village and monastery to monastery "harassing" inhabitants and monks to try to extort information about him. Strong cordons of Chinese soldiers were being thrown round many monasteries, including the one at Rongbuk, near Mount Everest.

The Tibetan delegation gave Mr Nehru a memorandum asking him:

1. To lend his active support in securing the personal safety of the Dalai Lama.

2. To send immediately a mercy mission to Tibet with medical supplies.

3. To sponsor the Tibetan cause before the United Nations.

4. To permit Tibetan refugees to cross over freely into India.

It was thought in New Delhi that Mr Nehru might well pass on the memorandum to the Chinese for their information. The Tibetan groups' leader, Mr Lukhangwa, told reporters: "The Dalai Lama's wishes are the wishes of the people of Tibet. Whatever he says, we will follow him."

 Yes very amazing stuff to protect the holy body of HH the Dalai Lama! 

[Vajraprotector]

Wow, that really blew my mind. Looks like Dorje Shugden really did a great job in ensuring the teachings of Tsongkhapa reaches many - through His Holiness the Dalai Lama's escape, His Holiness was able to bring Tibetan Buddhism to the forefront and make it a global phenomena.

If His Holiness did not escape and remain in exile, we would have heard very little or had the chance to practice Tibetan Buddhism, let alone Shugden today!

Very simple, without Dorje Shugden's definitive help, His Holiness Dalai Lama would not have escaped Tibet.

I am glad HH did escape. He brought Tibetan Buddhism to a global level, no one else could have done. All the other lamas who are compassionately teaching all around the world escaped because of HH in one way or another.

HH has done many wonderful things as well as some things we don't agree. I guess on this earth, whatever is done will benefit someone and hurt someone. Just have to look at the benefits and if it's more.

It's hard to not judge, but I do realize to judge is to be judged.

Dorje Shugden was pivotal in HH Dalai Lama's escape from China. Through oracle, Dorje Shugden gave the precise and exact route which HH Dalai Lama had to take in order to reach India safely. Whereas Nechung gave another route.

Dalai Lama was aware of this. So even the Chinese send 50,000 troops, Dalai Lama was unhurt and because of this, we are able to receive all the sacred teachings including Dorje Shughden practice now.

I agree with TK, Dalai Lama has done so much in spreading the dharma in all directions around the world. And as the situation is today, looks like Dorje Shugden's practice will also be spreading around the world becasue of the ban and the controversy, DS practice is particularly strong in China also.
