Dalai Lama Lament with Lyrics

[icy]

The International Shugden Community has come out with a song to highlight the protest on the persecution.  What a creative and brilliant way.

In this degenerate times the Buddhas manifest as anything so just to benefit others. It is incredibly profound and from our deluded side it also can sad what the Dalai Lama is doing. The ISC is doing their job. This website is doing its job and I guess each and everyone in this forum are also doing their job. In this chaos, somehow each is practicing the Dharma. The key is the motivation of the actions. We should not need things to be totally black or white. This are normally grey ie not perfect.
For me this is a Dharma drama 350 years in the making. We just need to do our part with the correct motivation.

It is HH Dalai Lama who had popularized Tibetan Buddhism and made it mainstream around the world. And it is also HH Dalai Lama who is causing a disrepute to the Lama Tsongkhapa lineage through His ban on Dorje Shugden practice.  The real enemy had manifested from within the Gelug lineage!
 
This music video reflects the sentiments of all Shugden followers.
 
"HH Dalai Lama, why had you enforced the ban on Dorje Shugden? Please have compassion for Dorje Shugden followers! Please lift the ban and stop the persecutions on Dorje Shugden followers! We beg you the Buddha of Compassion to have mercy on the Shugden followers. Om Mani Padme Hum."

Here's the actual video for the song.  It would be great if we could share it as it can help explain the situation.

In Liverno, the police chief requested that we sing it to them at the end of the demo.  It moved them to tears.  They could feel our faith and devotion in our LOUD protests.  It's inspiring to see how the police change their whole approach towards us when they realize the continuous warnings about us as being rough and violent are nothing but lies!

I guess a song makes it easier for most people to understand the problem with the Dalai Lama's ban on Dorje Shugden. Frankly, I am not really a fan of such a delivery. I still think good old styled article or documentary would do the job much better. But then again, different strokes for different folks. Its not about me and my preference but what brings the message across. The message is pretty clear, there's no place for a medieval religious ban and no matter how it is justified, the Dorje Shugden ban is wrong and it should come down. It doesn't make sense religiously, socially nor even politically. Since, it brings benefit in none of these areas, we must let me people know the truth.

Not what I would do, but it is quite easy to remember and probably would stick in any person new to buddhism.

On another note  the recent Indonesian Election they have used Musicians, Social Media and Games. I wonder would there be a game coming up that highlights the ban and all the players in the ban, it can be quite viral if it gets on the Android platform.
