Thank you, WB for the photos and updates from Shar Gaden.
It is so beautiful that the monks can continue to do their prayers, learning and practice.
Shar Gaden and Serpom Monastery's existence is proof that nothing can stop us from practising Dorje Shugden, if we really believe in HIM and go all the way.
Also, if HHDL really wanted to - he can also easily allow the TGIE to close down these monasteries. If HHDL really wanted to, HH can do so much more to completely end the practice of Dorje Shugden.
But till today, Shar Gaden continues to exist, and so does Serpom.
In fact, I would not be surprised to see more and more DS monasteries will rise, or existing DS monasteries grow and expand at such light speeds.
This is all about finding new and creative ways to continue what we truly believe in and not just give up or be embroiled in negativities.
Things do not always have to be easy and rosy. I guess, when things are least rosy and easy - that is when one can feel and experience the power of one's practice. How we rise above each challenge is a testament to how powerful Dorje Shugden really is.
The KING is GREAT and MIGHTY!
May we all embody his qualities through and through!
