I think by now many people should have already discovered that dorje shugden is an authentic buddhist practice given so many logical reasoning behind. I even saw tsem tulku rinpoche saying dalai lama has approved the practice of shugden, but it still lack of official, concrete open announcement of this.
Is Dalai lama or CTA afraid of something that will arise once the ban is lifted.
Personally I think that if they lift the ban, following will happen:
Dalai lama reputation will be affected. How can a high lama made such mistake? Is he real and so on..
Public will start to have doubt on vajrayana path. There are already many controversy in many lineage, yet the officially highest leader again made mistake. Is this path worth to follow?
Not to mention the impact to the CTA etc.
But then even if there 10 reasons not to lift the ban, I am sure there are also sufficient reasons to lift the ban.
Just the heavy bad karma to criticize buddha, chase monk out of monastery, create disharmony in the lineage, these alone is enough for a person to suffer very severely.
So my questions is there any method or even excuse that DL or CTA can use to lift the ban while minimizing the impact to vajrayana. Some reasons that I can think of is:
1) Dorje shugden was a powerful spirit, and was subdued by some high lama few years ago, and take the oath to protect the dharma.
2) Some minions of dorje shugden is unenlighetened and due to some mistake and improper practice, they are offended and created some disharmony and evolve to be some misunderstanding.
3) Some other worldly deity that look like shugden appear either in dream or in real, and DL misunderstood and think shugden is harming him.
Any idea our shugden practitioners here can think of, please kindly share.
Even if it is not convincing enough at least better than nothing, rather than let millions of buddhist criticizing a buddha. I really pity for their karma.
