I find the whole anti Shugden movement hilarious.
1) if you dont want people to know about him, STOP MENTIONING HIS NAME
2) if you dont want people to talk about him, STOP DISCUSSING HIM
3) if you dont want people to see him, stop putting his images everywhere! Whether or not hes got a red Stop sign in front of him is irrelevant...if you can still see his face, you can still make a connection
DOH!
Then again, their stupidity makes our life much easier in spreading Dorje Shugden hahaha
That is another interesting point, really. HHDL talks aout Dorje Shugden non stop and a lot whenever he gives teachings and ask people not to practice him when the other traditions who want to get rid of Dorje Shugden, dont even want to mention his name and even went to the extent of saying that it brings bad luck to even say Dorje Shugden's name! How funny! but they just want the practice dead.
The sakyas have really taken it to the extremes with the ban. They immediately erased all references to Dorje Shugden, even to the extent of omitting bebums of masters of the Sakya lineage that was either an incarnation of Shudgen or have taught extensively about Dorje Shugden and their works were either destroyed or obscured, then tell everyone that Dorje Shugden was minor and unenlightened.
The kagyus and nyingmas follows HHDL's words on Dorje Shugden, that he is a ghost and that even mentioning his name brings bad luck and therefore nobody should even read or even speak of him. Interesting strategy to curb Dorje Shugden and his practice and imprints from the people! By means of superstition and faith, Dorje Shugden is suppressed and somewhat erased from their traditions.
But there are many not so smart people in this world who think that the safe route is to follow the highest lama in the land and they will be safe but refuse to do much investigations on them. And, the strategy of the other 3 traditions with regards to Dorje Shugden is very different as compared to the way the Dalai Lama is doing it. They really are genuinely against, while the Dalai Lama is just a farce when it comes to the ban.
