Hi

It is not just Dorje Shugden practitioners who come in for rough treatment on eSangha:

Here's a new online forum which I hope will turn out to be more tolerant:

Dearest friends,

It's already a very difficult task to maintain our practice pure while we battle the problem that the Dalai Lama created for our lineage.
The fact that our endeavors are justified and have a good motivation does not guarantee that all our actions are going to be pure. We are constantly in danger of breaking our vows, through anger, through idle or harsh speech, in many ways. This danger is with us constantly until we have the direct view of the nature of things.
This battle for the human rights of Dorje Shugden practitioners and for establishing the truth about our Lamas, our Protector, our lineage, is indeed very pure as far as we stay all the time aware of this pure motivation. But as you know now through experience, it's a difficult thing to do.

I strongly suggest that we leave other people's battles alone and concentrate in what we are doing. We have enough in our plate.
And this battle does not justify that we neglect our practice, so the more time we spend looking into what is not our business, still less time we have for our practice.

AGAIN, HAPPY ENLIGHTENMENT MONTH FOR ALL OF US. TODAY SECOND DAY ALREADY.
