		<description>Dear Dalai Lama,

Since you started the cruel ban against the 350 year Dorje Shugden practice, how has it benefit your Tibetan society and Buddhism in the world? &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;Things have become worse and most educated Tibetans can see this.&lt;/font&gt; They don&#039;t speak out not because they don&#039;t see your ban as wrong, but you instill fear in them and not respect. It is like fear of a dictator. I am sorry to say so. Everyone is divided. &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;There is no harmony.&lt;/font&gt; Before your ban there was more harmony and unity.

By enacting the ban, you split the monasteries, split so many families, split regions in Tibet apart, split your disciples from you, split your own gurus from you, split Tibetan Buddhism apart. You have created so much disharmony.

It is not democratic what you have done to ban a religion within your community. You always talk of tolerance and acceptance and democracy and yet you do not accept and tolerate something different from your beliefs. When people practice Dorje Shugden you ostracize them, ban them from seeing you, ban them from using Tibetan facilities. You know you have done that. &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;There are videos that capture your speech and prove this point.&lt;/font&gt; You even had people expelled from monasteries just because they practice Dorje Shugden. Some of the monks you expelled have been in the monastery for over 40 years. Many older monks shed tears because of this.

Many young educated Tibetans lost confidence in you as they saw the damage the Dorje Shugden ban created and they lose hope. Many have become free thinkers. They reject what you have done. &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;So many people in the west left Buddhism because of the confusion you created with this ban against Dorje Shugden which is immoral.&lt;/font&gt;

You could of had millions of people who practice Dorje Shugden to support, love and follow you, but you scared them away. They are hurt and very disappointed. They loved you and respected you deeply before the ban. It has been 60 years and you have failed to get Tibet back. &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;Your biggest failure is not getting Tibet back after 57 years in exile.&lt;/font&gt; Now you are begging China to allow you to return to Tibet to the disappointment of thousands of people who fought for a free Tibet believing in you. &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;So many self-immolated for a free Tibet and now you want Tibet to be a part of China with no referendum from Tibetans.&lt;/font&gt; Just like a dictator, you decide on your own.  It was your government and you that lost Tibet in the first place. Your policies and style of doing things do not benefit Tibet and Buddhism. You have been the sole ruler of Tibet your whole life and you still have not gotten our country of Tibet back for us. Our families and us are separated. Yet you create more pain by creating a ban to further divide people. Please have compassion.

No other Buddhist leader has banned or condemned any religion except for you. It looks very bad. You are a Nobel laureate and this is not fitting of a laureate. You should unite people and not separate them by religious differences.

&lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;You said Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi did not do right to the Rohingya people in Myanmar due to religious differences, but you are doing the same thing to the Shugden Buddhists within your own society.&lt;/font&gt; There is a parallel in this. You separate the Shugden Buddhists from the others in Tibetan society.

You have lost so many people who would have loved and supported you. You have lost so much support around the world. The Shugden Buddhists who love you number in the millions. When you are fast losing support from governments and private people, it will not do you well to lose more.

After you are passed away in the future, the rift you created between the Dorje Shugden and non-Dorje Shugden people will remain for a while and that will be your legacy. Disharmony. You will be remembered for this. Not as a hero but a disharmony creator.

Dorje Shugden will spread and further grow, but you will be no more as you are a human. &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;No one wishes you bad and in fact we hope you have a long and healthy life, but we have lost so much hope and have so much despair because of you.&lt;/font&gt; All the hundreds of Dorje Shugden lamas, tulkus and geshes are maturing and there are hundreds of Dorje Shugden monasteries in Tibet who will not give up Dorje Shugden. You have made a mistake. These hundreds of teachers and teachers to be will spread Dorje Shugden further in the future.

The gurus that gave us Dorje Shugden as a spiritual practice and you have called these holy gurus wrong and they are mistaken in giving us Dorje Shugden. &lt;font color=#cc4125 class=&quot;bbcode-color&quot;&gt;How can you insult our gurus whom we respect so much? If they can be wrong, then you can be wrong.&lt;/font&gt; Then all gurus can be wrong. So no one needs to listen to any guru? You have created this trend. It is not healthy. Your own gurus practiced Dorje Shugden their whole lives. Your own gurus were exemplary and highly learned.

Dalai Lama you have created so much pain with this ban against so many people due to religion. You are ageing fast. Are you going to do anything about it or stay stubborn, hard and un-moving. You show a smile and preach peace and harmony wherever you go. But will you do the same to your own people? Please rectify the wrong you have done. Please before it is too late. You can create harmony again or you can pass away in the future with this legacy of peace. May you live long and think carefully and admit what was a mistake in having this unethical ban against Dorje Shugden religion.

		<description>Nice to read this article. it has lots of very interesting story inside. I hope we would have more of this kind of sharing. It opened my eye to what these great lama like Trijang Rinpoche and Ling Rinpoche did for the protector. They respect and take care of the protector Dorje Shugden and at the same time the protector never fail to be there whenever they needed him.</description>

		<description>I especially love the bit on Dorje Shugden oracles. They are so precious and I think we forget how rare they are. Additionally, we often mistake them for &quot;fortune tellers&quot; asking them to bless us for secular things. 

Oracles of enlightened Buddhas are vessels through which we can connect or have contact with the Buddhas. An extra plus for the Dorje Shugden oracles is: they can give teachings!!!! Imagine to have the merits to receive teachings directly from the Buddhas. 

The oracles are simply awesome!!! However, it is important to point out that the oracles respect and serve high lamas who dedicate their lives to turning the wheel of Dharma. Therefore, for those of us who have our teachers with us, never take them for granted and always realize and remember how fortunate we are to have a Guru to prescribe the perfect medicine to treat our delusions. 

Thank you for this interesting sharing of dharma tidbits.</description>

		<description>From the articles we can see how strong the devotion of the shugden lamas. For example Samdong Rinpoche who has been place in such a difficult position but his motivation has never shake towards his guru instruction.  

I’m quite surprise on the Nechung answers on Ling Rinpoche illness. How can a dharma protector work in such disrespectful. 

In a nut shell from the above articles we can see that devotion is one of the most important key for our practice. Nothing we can achieve if we have a broken samaya. Propitiating enlightened protector is important as their holy advice will bring us a long term benefits.</description>

		<description>What an interesting article. And it is reliable because it is from Panglung Kuten himself. Looking forward to more concise stories like these .  We are so fortunate that at this degenerate era, we can still meet these Lamas and hear their name.</description>

		<description>These stories are eyes-opener ! Thank you Admin for posting them.

The story of H.H. the 11th Panchen Lama Gyancain Norbu&#039;s recognition is really important to set the record straight on this controversy. Many Buddhists were being fooled by HH Dalai Lama&#039;s camp to question his recognition as the correct incarnation. With the explanation of its process that involving extensive pujas and the using of the golden urn, this will restore the trust people have in this high Lama.</description>

		<description>I really like &#039;tidbits&#039;! So many interesting stories and information. Thank you Panglung Kuten and DS website!

I especially like the stories of Kyabje Zong Rinpoche manifesting as a tailor and personally did the oracle&#039;s clothes. Nurturing and preparing the oracle! How blessed!</description>

		<description>This is a very interesting article covering such a wide range of information shared kindly by the great Panglung Kuten. It would be valuable for readers here if Panglung Kuten could share more of what he knows. I have gained much knowledge from reading this article and I believe what Panglung Kuten said.</description>

		<description>Thank you Admin for sharing Panglung Kuten&#039;s very concise &amp; informative stories on the High lamas &amp; Protector Dorje Shugden.
