If Dorje Shugden were to actually play a part in shortening H.H. Dalai Lama's life why would Dorje Shugden have even bothered to help guide HHDL into a safe escape out of Tibet. Kyabje Ling Rinpoche and Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche were both junior tutors of HHDL, whom many times have consulted Dorje Shugden directly for advice. For many lifetimes after 400 years of practicing Dorje Shugden if it were so called an 'Evil Spirit" how can these great masters keep reincarnating back into this world? How can HHDL whom also has been practicing for so many life times reincarnate back and suddenly deem Dorje Shugden as an 'Evil Spirit".
The seed to compassion stems from gratitude, after having consulted directly, going through a line of great geshes and lamas to request the great Panglung Oracle to take trance to seek advice from Dorje Shugden himself on HHDL's safe escape route, how can HHDL now impose a ban on Dorje Shugden practice? What happened to the pure principles of Buddhism. Where is the compassion? Where is there gratitude?
Why lie and hide the fact that HHDL had indeed been saved because of Dorje Shugden and many have been a key witness in this event, even his own teacher! His whole escape entourage believed in Dorje Shugden and were protected by Dorje Shugden. The leader of the group even carried a sword belonging to Dorje Shugden to guide them to safety. Even HHDL carried a Dorje Shugden thangka from his teacher Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche. Why continue to hide the truth!
Speaking of preserving age old culture and tradition, preaching about how he survived the escape of tibet, yet unable to show gratitude to whom had saved him.
