The world is all biased and I don’t believed the D. Lama is a good buddhist.

As an outsider with a casual interest in Tibet, it’s people and culture: it seems to me that given the facts, the worship of Dorje Shugden does not stem from the deeper tradition of the Gelug sect as his inclusion began in the 1930′s because of Pabongkhapa Déchen Nyingpo.

Obviously, the preference for Dorje Shugden (who was considered vengeful) to any Gelug practitioner dabbling with teachings outside of the school was an authoritarian fear tactic to keep some in line.

In the defense of the current the Dalai Lama, I could understand why he would not be thrilled about a relatively new protector that uses violence as a tool. (Very unusual for a Buddhist concept.)

I believe he meant well. However, as some time has passed and he is probably near his end, he has realized that the hurt he has given to those who invoke Dorje Shugden will never go away.

So… better to let them have their way as it is less divisive. It was probably a hard decision, but a wise one. My prayers to all and hope that Tibet can one day return home as one.

Why a secular government takes interest in protector practice? What will Dorje Shugden do to affect the government? We believe Dalai Lama is the emanation of Chenrezig and Dalai Lama should be abe to protect the people right and should also able to subdue Dorje Shugden (if he is real spirit) to eliminate this problem once and for all instead of discriminate the practitioners. Get rid the root of the problem and be compassionate with the people. That should be the right way as we learn to be compassionate from the Buddha teaching. Right?

But why here Dalai Lama encourages monastery to expel Shugden practitioners and all Shugden practitioners are not allowed to get the facilities and resources. Why torture your own Tibetan instead?

Why Kiabje Trijang Rinpoche has originated at least three different lineages, such as GMT (LAMA Yeshe), NKT (Kelsang Gyatso) and Ngalso (LAMA Ganchen). What is the difference between them? And why they focus on different aspects?

All these while the Tibetan Leaders said there is no ban, only advice. Really? What kind of advice that will instigate their followers to forbid DS practitioners from entering their shop to get their daily needs? Its 37 out of 40 shops which is like 92.5%. Then those letter of government agencies denying work to DS practitioners. Even the hospital disallowed DS practitioners on their payroll. The pain and sufferings that the DS practitioners had gone through must have been tremendous. Cutting them off from income and daily necessities. What more, ostracising them from their families, friends and communities. Terrible how the monks were treated. Having stayed in the monastery for most of their lives, the forced eviction, very physical eviction I might add, must have been so painful and confusing to them. Old monks were not spared either. Neither were they spared physical abuses too. Having escape to what was to be a better life, instead it became a hell-hole. Tibetan Leaders lied and lied so many many times and no other country dare say a word? Yet they are so vocal about China, Middles East and the many they think had done wrong. Such hypocrites! 20 years and Dalai Lama should really lift the ban already. China will not tolerate religious discrimination. LIFT THE BAN!!!

Tibetan leadership keep claiming that they are democracy but how could a democracy governance discriminate their own people choice of spiritual belief?

Why Tibet an leadership already lost their country but still enthusiasts to separate their Tibetans just because their people have difference preferences of sporotual practice?

What happened to the sponsored money that people generously donated for Tibetan leadership to take care of the Tibetan people’s welfare but end up seeing how the Tibetan leadership produce books and promotional materials to discriminate Shugden practitioners which has nothing to do with the lost of Tibet?

There is a lot of fog around this issue for tibetan buddhists this doesnt directly affect. It is so taboo that lamas and students wont discuss it. Concrete information is appreciated. It seems to me important not to shun the topic, but for kagyus and nyingmas to have a general idea of the actual situation. Shrouding it in mistique has not accomplished even your opppnents aims
