It is really horrible to even to think of the situation hanging like this if this ban is not lifted by then. Many would suffer even more due to this political motivation behind this ban of the true Gelug lineage. I believed many of us becoming a Buddhists is because a simple reason which is to be able to gain realisation thru practices which was past down from a Guru to another Guru for generations.
A simple monk is not that simple after all. Sad
