		<description>It is indeed sad to hear of sponsors stopping their support towards DS monasteries making life more difficult for the monks. I&#039;ve visited this monastery during a pilgrimage some years back and met some of the very old monks who escaped and carried those holy items mentioned from Tibet. Despite all the hardship and having to deal with the ban, they looked peaceful and serene.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s really appalling to learn that Dharamsala officials went all the way to threaten the sangha community. It must have been hard for the sangha to solicit funds from sponsors. Yes, Phelgyeling Monastery needs our sponsorship.</description>

		<description>Everything in this monastery, now in Nepal, has been preserved as per original. I was told that the monks carried everything from Tibet. Imagine how they did it? For many of us we would have just left everything behind. But not these monks at Phelgyeling Monastery. By sure dedication and devotion they carried them from Tibet. It was a privilege to see the geshes there and hear their stories. They show you no hardship nor complaint. One can only imagine what they went through to keep their practice of Dorje Shugden. Many of us in this time and age would never go through what these monks went through. It is truly a gift to be a monk - so pure so simple. We should all sponsor these monasteries so that all their suffering is not in vain!</description>

		<description>It is rather contradictory that the current conflict between the Pro Dalai Lama camp and the Pro Shugden camp should have its genesis in the time of the Fifth Dalai Lama who had purportedly discouraged and maybe, even condemned the practice of Dharmapala Dorje Shugden. 

Here, in this Ganden Pelgyeling Monastery in Kathmandu, the holy statue of Dorje Shugden, made by the Fifth Dalai Lama himself and offered to the original Phlgyeling monastery in Tibet(this historically famous statue of Dorje Shugden) has been re-installed in the Protector Chapel. What greater evidence can there be that, contrary to alleged report, the Fifth Dalai Lama is a great supporter and practitioner of Dharmapala Dorje Shugden?  

Another point to note here is that this monastery in Tibet was originally a Kagyu monastery, with Dorje Shugden as their Dharmapala. The Fifth Dalai converted it into a Gelugpa monastery. Whether Gelugpa or Shakya, both regard Dorje Shugden as their Dharmapala. So Dorje Shugden does not practice sectarianism as a Dharma Protector. Even in modern times there are practitioners of other lineages who turn to Dorje Shugden as their Protector too.

The abbot and monks of this monastery in Nepal are amazingly courageous people who continue to practice Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden even in the face of much harassment by officials from the Tibetan government and other anti-Shugden supporters. They do this simply because great masters like Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche and Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche practiced and heavily relied upon Dorje Shugden to preserve and spread the Gelugpa Lineage teachings. 

The fact that Je Tsongkhapa’s and the Gelugpa lineage teachings have spread to the far-flung corners of the world is testimony to why Dorje Shugden practice is an unmistakable practice, to benefit all beings. These great Masters have always been right to place their unwavering faith and trust in Dharmapala Dorje Shugden.</description>

		<description>Phelgyeling Monastery was a Kagyu Monastery located in Tibet near the Nepali border . The Monastery of the Kagyu Lineage was converted into the Gelug Lineage by the 5th Dalal Lama. 5th Dalal Lama also gave a statue of Dorje shugden at that time when the Kagyu Lineage was there.  This shows that Kagyu Lineage had also been practicing Dorje Shugden. This statue had been salvaged and reinstated in the present Gaden Phelgyeling Monastery Nepal, when they escape from Tibet to Nepal in 1959. After the reinstallation of the Dorje Shugden statue in Nepal many pilgrims came and pray and got their wishes granted. In Phelgyeling Monastery there was also a Tara Statue that spoke. Geshe Thardo was the Abbot of Phelgyeling Monastery.</description>

		<description>The Pelyeling Monastery is very special because of its lineage that comes directly from the Fifth Dalai Lama. It still preserves the statue made by the Great Fifth which dates from the 17th century. The monastery has many beautiful statues and even a Tara statue that spoke! The two famous statues must be the monastery&#039;s main attractions! I like this video because it is accompanied by a write-up on the history, its relocation from Tibet and its present problems due to the ban on the Dorje Shugden practice. It is  interesting to note that in Nyanang, the Kagyu and Nyingma monasteries also practised Dorje Shugden.</description>
