This is especially so when the street sentiments of Anti-Shugden were to ostracised the Shugden practitioners and many are siding the 14th Dalai Lama for the glamour, favour, fame, etc. He is indeed a true practitioner of compassion for all sentient beings and puts his practise above political influence. From his biography, we are able to learn the greatness of H.H. the 3rd Kyabje Penor Rinpoche and to be inspired by his achievements. At a young age, Rinpoche was approached by an old man insisting Rinpoche practices Phowa for him, which he complied. Rinpoche was shocked that the Phowa worked and the old man had passed away. Immediately he started to practice again and revived the corpse lying in front of him. Without thanking Rinpoche, the old man shouted, “For heaven’s sake, why did you bring me back? I was already in the Pure Land of the Buddha Amitabha!” It was a funny incident but the effect of this miracle is not lost. May the new incarnate H.H 4th Kyabje Drubwang Penor Rinpoche Yangsi swiftly reach his teaching age to continue turning the Wheel of Dharma and inspire great faith in his followers in the Buddhadharma.

Will you do it and follow the book. OR Follow the Yellow book by Trijiang. @ Gaz: As per the Pabonga, he tells taliban minded people like you to go and destroy Nyingma monastery and Guru Rinpoche statues.

How can Trijang Rinpoche teach the Lamrim, and make a mistake like this? How can he be enlightened enough to teach the Dalai Lama, but not enlightened enough to judge what is a spirit? In school, you are encouraged to correct a teachers mistake because that is school teaching you something that does not bring you liberation. But in the Gelug tradition, guru devotion and upholding the practices that your teacher gives you is the key to the higher practices. Go and read Yonten Shi-Gyurma: "The basis of achieving the two powerful attainments is the PURE VOWS AND COMMITMENTS that I have pledged. Having found true understanding of this, may I keep them even at the cost of my life - inspire me thus! Having realised the significance of the two stages which are the essence of the tantric path, may I steadfastly practice without laziness the four sessions of yoga, and realise what the HOLY BEINGS HAVE TAUGHT - inspire me thus!" It doesnt say: "...what the holy beings have taught, which I can judge to be right or wrong, according to my deluded views" If you want proof, here is proof and a little logic: 1) if the Dalai Lama and all the high lamas are enlightened (which I do believe them to be), how come they havent suppressed Dorje Shugden if he is just a spirit? How come Padmasambhava was powerful enough to subdue Pehar, but the Dalai Lama cannot subdue Dorje Shugden? Is a spirit more powerful than a Buddha? 2) so either the Dalai Lama isnt a Buddha, or Dorje Shugden isnt a spirit. 3) if Dorje Shugden cannot be subdued, it is because he does not have the karma to be subdued. The only beings that lack karma to be subdued are Buddhas. Ergo, Dorje Shugden is a Buddha. @Jhonny: if people have more freedom, why does the Dalai Lama still uphold archaic religious bans?

Religious leader and religion must tune according to time and tide. People have more freedom hence can judge what is wrong and right. Some Sakya enlightened masters teachings and some Geluks enlightened masters teachings in the past must have been valid according to those time and tide. But that does not mean they are right now. So they need to get rid of the unwanted vegetables and save the others. SIMPLE, I, like many have high respect for Trijiang Rinpoche but he was wrong as per dorjee shugden issue. As per HH Dalai Lama after much investigation he stopped the shugden practice as he knew this would disintergrated Tibetan buddhism and Tibetan Unity. I hope the new Trijiang as he lives in a multi-racial and multireligious country learn to regard and accommodate other sects and religions for Geluks and HH Dalai Lamas sake. In school, we were encouraged to correct a teachers mistakes if they were wrong with proof offcourse. @Gaz,

So in the past, the enlightened Sakyas masters made mistakes with their practice? How can an enlightened master make a mistake like that? Does that mean all of their practices now are invalid, because they made a mistake and theres a blip in their lineage? Come on, use a little logic please. So...Trijang Rinpoche was wrong for the Yellow Book. But since he taught the Dalai Lama...does that mean the Dalai Lama has learnt wrong knowledge too? Your labelling a whole bunch of lamas are wrong and incorrect, and making incesssant mistakes with their practice and knowledge. Where does it stop and wheres your respect for them, and who made you the judge and jury? That was history? So in the past, the enlightened Sakyas masters made mistakes with their practice?

The kindness of opening up His Namdroling Nyingma Monastery to Shugden practitioners to purchase supplies was simply because H.H. Penor Rinpoche understood the difficulties they were facing and acknowledged their need for the most basic necessities. And HH Kyabje Penor Rinpoche, was a Lama who practiced His own lineage perfectly without getting involved with politics. May HH Kyabje Penor Rinpoche's incarnation returns soon and continue to spreads the light of BuddhaDharma.

That was history, I doubt these days I would find a living Sakyapa who would be willing to say on record that they rely on Dorje Shugden as an enlightened protector. Sad times. In this 21st century who would want to be sectarian. If Zemay Rinphoche and Trijiang Rinpoche had not brought out this Yellow Book and publicised it at this modern age. This curse would have died with the older generation. I symathise HH the Dalai Lama who for the Unity of Majority of Tibetans had to speak out. So DS followers.who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Gaz.

Dorje Shugden was / is a Sakya practice, and Dorje Shugden himself protects the Dharma so what would our practitioners gain out of attacking practitioners of other faiths? You seem to be highly misinformed as well, talking about the cause of the problem being Zemey Rinpoches Yellow Book. The source of the problem is THE BAN. If there was no ban, there wouldnt be a problem! Ive got nowt to say to Ram Kumar. First off, how is this spreading another ideology? This article is thanking someone who was kind to Dorje Shugden practitioners. Thanking others is not ass-kissing. Clearly you havent been taught how to express gratitude and for that, I pity you and your angersome self. Fools.
