Why Sabotage Your Own Country And People

[vajrastorm]

Here is an interesting article by Wong Kim Seng (on this website) on the latest Chinese official stance regarding the Shugden conflict:

"In February 2014, the Tibet Autonomous Region Party Committee Office made an official statement about the Dorje Shugden conflict that the Central Tibetan Administration’s (CTA) unpopular ban created. As the Chinese government clearly identified, the anti-Shugden campaign is actually an attack against Chinese unity, causing divisions amongst Tibetans in the autonomous region which is a big problem for the Chinese government. Since then, the Shugden issue has split Tibetan Buddhists in India, China, America, Europe and everywhere it is being played out.

The Chinese government is taking these attacks seriously and have made the move to officially warn against those who use this religious conflict to create disharmony within their own country. And as it turns out, the Chinese government is right to be worried. On April 7, 2015, the ‘International Campaign for Tibet’ which is controlled by the CTA translated the Chinese statement and twisted it into yet another piece of anti-China propaganda, using the Shugden ban to keep anti-China sentiment high. (View the International Campaign for Tibet’s statement here).

The CTA’s strike would not be effective outside their immediate circle, so they have to use ‘agents’ to carry out the CTA’s smear campaigns. These agents bring the CTA’s campaign against China into their own countries and communities, and try to get bystanders to pick sides and in that way, draw numbers into supporting the CTA. Those who are unaware are tricked by these agents who tell them that if they are good dharma practitioners, then they must oppose Dorje Shugden, which also means that they oppose China since China is accused of promoting Dorje Shugden. By this method, Tibetan Buddhist practitioners around the world are drawn into CTA’s fight with China and they become unknowing participants and supporters, at the heavy cost of their own country’s social unity.

Recently, this conflict has been brought into the peaceful countries of Singapore and Malaysia. Both Malaysia and Singapore are countries whose citizens comprise of multiple races and religions, and it is very important for them to maintain peace amongst all religious and ethnic groups. ......"

In many ancient civilizations, many cultures or countries had used "religion" to go against governments and "politicize" religion to take over, manipulate, govern and eventually control. All these were achieved by certain higher authorities to incite mind psychology over their population into certain beliefs, hence overturn previous ruler. If a belief is vast and strong enough to infiltrate into these "ignorant" or "politically motivated" people, chaos will surface and a new revolution will be caused.

History has repeated this cycle over and over again. But we need to look into the "motivation" of such insurgence of revolution. Were the motivations to benefit many others and future generations for betterment or was it to benefit selfish gains for influential political negative power to conquer and steal from the natural resources of the population? In the case of Tibetans and Tibet, what do you think was the most valuable natural "resource" available to steal and gain influence in?

Like the Chinese government had said, they want to control the next rebirth of the next Dalai Lama. Why is that?

As a good citizen of a country, one must respect the law and the ruling government. The peaceful and harmonious country that we are living in is due to the effort of the government to keep a balanced environment which comprised of many races and religions. As we are accorded the freedom to practice the religion of our choice, we must return this privilege by respecting other religions by not belittling the practitioners and saying negative remarks about their believe.
To the citizens of Singapore and Malaysia, you all are so fortunate to have freedom to practice your chosen religion. Even if you are practicing Tibetan Buddhism, you do not have to obey to the ruling of the CTA since they do not govern your country.

With all the unrest in the world, and many of the citizen are trying to overturn the government using the "alternative" ways such as protest etc, it is not surprise that governments are clamping down on people who try to stir up the hate sentiment.

I know this article is about Malaysia and Singapore, but IMHO, this is a good reminder for the Tibetans. If CTA want to "reclaim" their region, they need to know their game. I am saying this not because I am supporting China and what they do, but CTA needs to know their game.
