I have a question: how do we know that we do not become like them? these are also the most likely candidates to actually become one of those people who dismiss and accept things out of superstition? They may look silly now, but it could be us if we do not do enough investigation, study, learning and knowledge. This post is also a reminder of how silly we are if we do not develop our understanding, logic and knowledge base. That is how I see it and that is how I do not want to represent our protector.
You know you are not them if you have taken the time to check out your teacher, the teachings, and understood the basis of your practice, especially of the protector Dorje Shugden.
If you are not out there chasing after famous lamas, hoping to get initiations and blessings as quick fix for your miserable life problems, or blind faith because His Holiness is God, then be rest assured you won't turn out like them any time soon.
We live in the age of information, it's so easy to get info about who Dorje Shugden is online, books are also out, the controversy has appeared in numerous magazines, as well as news on TV, but people choose to believe propoganda or hear say because then they do need to put in effort to investigate. I can understand if they are Tibetan refugees who are uneducated and unexposed, living in Tibetan settlements. But Singaporeans? Wow, what a shame.
Anyway, may be I should go check out these centres and see if they will give me a Shugden statue as images of holy protectors are rare
