“If you wish me to be your Guru, do not look upon my person as the Guru, because every human personality has its shortcomings, and so long as we are engaged in observing the imperfections of others we deprive ourselves of the opportunities of learning from them. Remember that every being carries within itself the spark of Buddahood (bodhicitta), but as long as we concentrate on other people’s faults we deprive ourselves of the light that in various degrees shines out from our fellow-beings ….The greatest among men were those who recognized the divine qualities in their fellow-beings and were always ready to respect even the lowliest among them.

As long as we regard ourselves superior to other or look down upon the world, we cannot make any real progress. As soon, however, as we understand that we live in exactly that world which we deserve, we shall recognize the faults of others as our own —though they may appear in different form. It is our own karma that we live in this “imperfect” world, which in the ultimate sense is our own creation. This is the only attitude which can help us to overcome our difficulties, because it replaces fruitless negation by an impulse towards self-perfection, which not only makes us worthy of a better world but partners in its creation.”

Very aptly pronouncing the mindset of mundane beings, i.e. people like me. It reminds me of the 8 verses of mind transformation originally written by Shantideva who then passed down through a line of traceable lineage masters.

Eight Verses of Thought Transformation
With the thought of attaining Enlightenment
For the welfare of all beings,
Who are more precious than a wish–fulfilling jewel,
I will constantly practise holding them dear.

Whenever I am with others,
I will practise seeing myself as the lowest of all,
And from the very depths of my heart
I will respectfully hold others as supreme.

In all actions I will examine my mind
And the moment a disturbing attitude arises,
Endangering myself or others,
I will firmly confront and avert it.

Whenever I meet a person of bad nature,
Overwhelmed by negative energy and intense suffering,
I will hold such a rare one dear
As if I’ve found a precious treasure.

When others out of jealousy,
Mistreat me with abuse, slander and so on,
I will practise accepting defeat
And offering the victory to them.

When someone I have benefited and in whom
I have placed great trust hurts me very badly,
I will practise seeing that person
As my supreme teacher.

In short, I will offer directly and indirectly
Every benefit and happiness to all beings, my mothers.
I will practise in secret taking upon myself
All their harmful actions and sufferings.

Without these practices being defiled
By the stains of the eight worldly concerns,
By perceiving all phenomena as illusory,
I will practise without grasping to release all beings
From the bondage of the disturbing unsubdued mind and karma.

As such, Domo Geshe Rinpoche’s attainments and enlightenment are indisputable. Therefore whatever he had been practising should not also be disputed as with his enlightened mind, he would know if the practise is beneficial or not. Then it goes to say that the practise of Protector Dorje Shugden which he propitiates should be undisputed as an enlightened Protector and beneficial to practitioners. Could his enlightened mind be “tricked” by Dorje Shugden, claimed by the 14th Dalai Lama and CTA as an “evil spirit”? I definitely think not. Besides, Domo Geshe Rinpoche has been reincarnated and not have to “go to Hell” as claimed will befall all Dorje Shugden practitioners. Such utter nonsense that can so easily be disputed.

It is amazing and inspiring to read of the greatness of all attained Gurus and how their activities only bring the dharma to the people wherever to go. In their compassion, they work so tirelessly to bring people the blessings of Buddha. May more great Lamas arise to lift us out of our ignorance.

I am certainly thrilled that his young incarnation is presently studying at Shar Gaden Monastery to carry on the lineage.

Amazing!

Miracle around Domo Geshe Rinpoche

As long as we regard ourselves superior to other or look down upon the world, we cannot make any real progress. As soon, however, as we understand that we live in exactly that world which we deserve, we shall recognize the faults of others as our own —though they may appear in different form. It is our own karma that we live in this “imperfect” world, which in the ultimate sense is our own creation. This is the only attitude which can help us to overcome our difficulties, because it replaces fruitless negation by an impulse towards self-perfection, which not only makes us worthy of a better world but partners in its creation.”

This quote is what stuck our for me from this whole tribute. It is such a deep and profound teaching that should everyone practice such, irregardless of religion, culture and race, much if not all suffering will vanish. There will be true peace and happiness in this world. However it is sad that many cannot practice non-judgement and indulge in being right or carelessness with people. It is no wonder that we still have suffering which is all man-made.

After reading this tribute, I am AGAIN convinced that if such Great Masters practiced Dorje Shugden, how could it be wrong and further negates the Ban. The 14th HHDL even spent time in Dome Yeshe Rinpoche’s monastery! Basically, if such great masters practiced, then it does not take a brilliant scientist to recognise how illogical is the Ban. The Ban is completely a farce.
