Alleluia!!!
The UticaOD news reports something meaningful, congratulations to the reporter:
In the other protest, hundreds of Buddhist monks, nuns and other practitioners of Dorje Shugden called for the 72-year-old monk to stop discrimination against the Shugden believers and allow for the freedom of worship.
In 1996, the Dalai Lama said the worship of Dorje Shugden was banned because the deity was a threat to the future of Tibet.
But for the protestors, the ban is unfounded and oppressive, they said.
Ah Dhar, a Tibetan and a believer in Shugden, said the Dalai Lama is tearing the Buddhist religion into many pieces by banning the sect.
There is too much suffering among the Tibetan people because of it, he said.
“He says peace but doesn’t give us religious freedom,” said Dhar, who arrived from Tibet to participate in the protest.
These bits of good reporting work are extremely important. Even for this little piece of printed news the demo can be considered a success. Congratulations! It's important too that every time a demo takes place we send our material again and again to the desks of news media and other people. This is going to be a work of perseverance. One day a critical mass of readers will have conceived a healthy doubt and just that would be a great victory. Sorry to remind myself and others again and again. We are doing this to end the painful persecution to innocent people in the present time, and for the future, to rescue the good name of our Lamas, sacrilegeously branded evil-spirit-worshippers by the Dalai Lama. Even though our Lamas do not need our defense, sentient beings need their good name intact, if they are going to receive benefit from their teachings in the future.
