The Dalai Lama has imposed a ban on the worship of the 500 year old deity Shugden. This has created divisions among the Tibetans living in India, where Shugden worshippers are being ostracized from their community in the name of the Dalai Lama.

DL is nothing but a politician who uses religion as coverup for his own political gains. He is not promoting democratic but selfish man.

Absolutly, I agree with you.
Buddha said there’s no difference bewteen animals and humans. Both do the same thing, but the king of selfishnes is human thinking is far superior than other species. Because of this we’ve destroyed the planet, animals, each others, etc.
Why? Since quite a long time ago we’ve tried to satisfy our personal wishes and by doing so, we’ve damaged others and created suffering causes.
It’s simple, its the law of karma where Buddhism relies upon its beliefe.

I don’t know much about Buddhists, but you have to admire their compassion for animals.
I see no reason to believe we are the smartest animal. Dolphins could be much smarter than us. Its just that humans have hands to make things with. We make weapons and can kill anything we want. And we think we are the smartest. Laughable when we are over running and wrecking the planet.
Other animals can do all sorts of things we can’t. We are probably pathetic compared with Emperor Penguins for instance.

After 3 months I do know little more about Buddhism, reading and studiyng it.
And you know something? I love it, this is what I was looking for in my life. My formation was nihilistic and atheist from philosophers such as Nietzsche, Marcusse, etc.
I agree with Einstein when he said: Buddhism will be the religion of the future.

… most of hose traditions, keep in their practices the offerings to Dharma protectors, such as Dorje Shugden.
DL is triying to break a lineage of over 500 years of tradition. If he likes to do it its fine but yet, in the understanding he is not budhist leader (like the pope for catholics), he has no right to laugh and ban of someone else’s’ beliefs.
It is not necesary to get to brutal abuses because of this, the simple act of banning a belief will cause racism, fanatism and segregation.

DL has a great reputation among his followers, society, politics, etc. If he claims something, he will be followed by his fans in consecuence.
DL is like the principal of an Univertity, but among its community, you will find scholars, gueshes, spiritual guides, with more profound budhist knowledge and practice and people doesn’t really understand this. This spirityal guides are just doing his job to spread the Dharma according to each tradition, which on the other hand….

Amnesty …
Amnesty International (AI) has received and studied a large amount of material alleging human rights abuses against worshippers of the Tibetan Buddhist deity Dorje Shugden
None of the material AI has received contains evidence of abuses which fall within Al’s mandate for action — such as grave violations of fundamental human rights including torture, the death penalty, extra-judicial executions, arbitrary detention or imprisonment, or unfair trials.
FREE Tibet, Burma, Iran, Sudan and China

DL was in fact a Dorje Shugden practicioner for all his life, under the sect geluk where DL belonged, this is a very common pratice.
All of a sudden, after years and years of practicing and whorshiping this deity, DL realizes it’s an evil deity and for that reason Tibet is under China yugo.
A spiritual leader who “percecutes and bans” others for their free spiritual practice can’t be a true and authentic leader.
A true spiritual leader leaves others to practice whatever they want.

You mean the photo that Apple used of him in their ads? Does that mean that Martin Luther King also sold out and “did” an advert for Apple too? If a man who is near to the spirits has discovered a danger amongst them and decides to warn others who do not have the ability to know this, how does it make him a tyrant?
On nepotism, Ananda, Yoshidara (wife), and Maya (mother) were all related to Him.
If Muhammed asked u to follow Jesus, would you label him an infidel?

The Dalai Lama …
The Dalai Lama himself was a devoted Dorje Shugden practitioner for half of his life…. funny how he has changed his mind so suddenly. Maybe he will change it back and say that Dorje Shugden is a good practice… then he will be in accordance with the lineage gurus of his tradition, as well as ALL of his spiritual teachers.

The Dalai Lama …
The Dalai Lama demands religious freedom. Yet he persecutes a Buddhist sect that worships a deity called Dorje Shugden He poses as quirky, giggly, modern monk who once auctioned his Land Rover on eBay for $80,000 and has even done an advert for Apple . DLhas been remarkably nepotistic, appointing members of his family to many positions of prominence. In recent years, 3 of the 6 members of Kashag, the highest executive branch of Tibetan govt-in-exile, have been close relatives of Dalai Lama.

Why is the Dalai …
Why is the Dalai Lama so popular? He doesn’t say anything clever. He hates gays. He commits ethnic cleansing. He claims that natural disasters in China are karmic. He represents a brutal, feudal order.
What is there to like?

Look at Bhutan. The …
Look at Bhutan. The buddhist majority of Bhutan revere the Dalai Lama. Since 1988, they have ethnically cleased 1/6th of it’s population .. 100,000 people. Last year, 60,000 bhutanese refugees came to the US.
The Dalai Lama has never condemned ethnic cleansing by his followers. The Dalai Lama represents a type of cultural fascism. PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!!

India has a long tradition of religious diveristy and tolerance. They even tolerate the Dalai Lama.
Tibet has a long tradition of religious intolerance and oppression of minorities (due to the Dalai Lamas).
Those are the facts.

Hello Tibetans – Let me find out from my community people in Kushal Nagar to work out how to handle these Dorje Shudans followers in that refugee camp. Are there many people?

Part5:
Then why all thes drama like ex-communicate from this & that.
Dalai Lama is a leader of more than 97% Tibetans in India (else where also) and these 1-2% jokers doesn’t matter. Since they oppose the majority Indian Tibetans cause, they contradict the idea of Tibetan refugee status in India & they should leave India. Indian Gov. should throw Dorje Shudans out of India.
I am really disappoited at Dalai Lama’s appointed officials not able to defend & articulate their cause properly.

Part4:
Why don’t these Dorje Shudans followers go out and live without bothering other Tibetans in other places in India. They can worship whatever they want and nobody will even bother about them. If these Dorje Shudan people believe theirs is a true Budha’s way and teaching, then go out and practice in vast India and live other Tibetans alone. Why they need to keep going to these Tibetans shops with evil TV channels to humiliate and embarass larger Tibetans cause? Did India Gov ban you? no.

Part3:
Tibetans being small community against huge genocidal enemy China, few Dorje Shudan’s idiots can totally undermine Tibetans cause. That is why Tibetans are very nervous and want to totally avoid these idiots. Whatever Dalai Lama’s Tibetans are doing is totally legal and justified.
India is a big country and Tibetans refugees are just 100,000 in number and live in a very tiny pockets. Just like finding a black man in American neighbhorhood.
