		<description>I have symphaty for monastaries that got banned because of Shugden issue. But a question arise. If (one of the benefit of) shugden practice can help financial problems, why shugden monasteries are (seems) quite poor? Thx...</description>

		<description>It&#039;s so sad to see the black and white photos of the old Segyu Phodrang Monastery in Tibet and the subsequent destruction. 

I have mixed feeling when looking at the photos of the Segyu Monasteries in Kalimpang and Kathmandu. Such a vast difference even though are from the same lineage. The sangha at Segyu Monastery in Kathmandu have a lot of followers and practitioners but lack the financial support for it to grow. This is a very spiritual matter and the powers that be are penalizing the monks for holding to their vows, empowerment, entrustment, commitments and samaya. This is not a very Buddhist act. 

And, the lineage that it is keeping is so very precious to the Gelugs - the tantra of Lama Tsongkhapa. 

May Segyu Phodrang Monastery, Kathmandu grow and flourish to bring the pure teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa to benefit many people.</description>

		<description>Due to the ban, Shar Gaden and Serpom Monasteries are no longer permitted to enroll for tantra studies and either Gyuto or Gyume. The idea behind this prayer hall project is to create the space needed for Segyu Monastery to host post-geshe tantra studies for these monks of our lineage who are not able to receive a tantra education at the other monasteries mentioned above. 
Meetings have taken place and the plan is already moving forward. 
Dorje Shugden was consulted via the oracle concerning the new prayer hall project. The abbot of Segyu realized that this was a huge project and wanted advice if the size of the project should be scaled back or not. Dorje Shugden told the abbot that the current plan was a good one and not to scale back. Dorje Shugden fully supports this plan and Segyu Monastery and knowing that, I have no doubt this monastery will once again be restored to its former glory as the principal holder of the tantra lineages of our precious lineage.</description>

		<description>Admin,

I would just like to add further to my comment above...that the monks of Segyu Monastery (actually any monastery within our DS lineage) are very deserving of our help from those who hold DS as their heart practice, we receive so much in return and this is a beautiful way to repay that kindness in return.

What better way to create merit for many lifetimes...why because you are helping to support a Monastery where eruldite scholars, potential Buddha&#039;s to be will pray, study, meditate and disseminate the holy Dharma unbroken from HH Lama Tsongkhapa to us now.

Does your offering have to be big money not necessarily any amount no matter how small is suitable as an offering, how many stories do we read of lay persons offering what seems like items of no / or small value to the Buddha creating the causes for many lifetimes down the track.

Do you need to offer ONLY monetary value certainly NOT based on your own circumstances if you can please help, contact Lama Palden either directly or via Facebook in my little experience he is genuine and helpful with my Q&amp;As. 

Other ideas an Offering can be as little or big as your imagination / creativity can determine for your own situation? Making a comment is an offering, education and awareness about Segyu is an offering.

Support for the education programme is an offering, anything to connect you with Segyu Monastery we let ourselves win and not the ban in my humble opinion.

My personal preference is to use PayPal as a method to support causes and people I like after checking out of course. This is great because I live a world-away on the other side of the planet.

It only takes seconds to donate an amount via Segyu Monastery Pay Pal details below.

Thank you again Admin, &amp; Lama Palden / Segyu Monastery.

For creating this opportunity for us to create Merit

Much Love

		<description>This is yet another example of how Dorje Shugden monasteries and monks are being discriminated for practicing their lineage teachings. The history is so clear that the founder of this monastery Jetsun Sherab Sengge is a direct disciple of Lama Tsongkapa and that he holds the vows and teachings for this lineage&#039;s Tantra practice. Yet, his students and followers in this generation is being discriminated and is suffering from insufficient resources etc. Really sad to see such unethical practice and worse of all in the world of Buddhism !</description>

		<description>Thank you Admin,

For opening our eyes to this gem in our lineage upholding its holy practices unbroken from HH Lama Tsongkhapa. 
How inspiring, I will certainly support in any way I can and humbly request others also help. How wonderful that we have an opportunity to create merit for dharma to grow in these difficult times. 
I am thankful for the ban because I know more people will come to know who we are? what we stand for and importantly that we have human rights like everyone else.

Thank you Again.
