I do not know whether it is a good idea to secretly plant DS materials at the places where these folks do not welcome and if discovered by them. These materials will most probably end up in the bin and these HHDL folks are very entrenched and staunch.
Again I feel that the impact of implanting materials would not be significant enough and waste of resources, unless someone who is extremely eloquent who is willing to explain the controversy of DS by bringing the light though the media.
When a vessel is filled and contaminated. It takes very strong detergent to clean the vessel and to be re-contained with clean water.
We were informed, many visitors took the brochures and comics before they can be discarded. Someone observed and wrote to us and informed us of this information along with the pictures we posted.
We rejoice.
The visitors who took the brochures/ds comics didn't know heads or tails and took the items home to read. They were new to Buddhism. They just grabbed the free brochures.
We were informed many visitors took the items home and none were discarded. They served their purpose.
Mana
I am glad to hear this good news and at least, the "implatation" served its purpose.
Dear Lightning,
I understand your thinking in this but I would like to let you know a few things regarding the nature of spreading our lord protector Dorje Shugden.
As you've mentioned many times that there were a bunch of 'talibans' outside a DS centre or exhibition in Singapore furiouslly spreading the misconception of Dorje Shugden to people causing a great impact on the centre. Are you going to let that happen again by accepting that this 'talibans' win? Are you gonna rest or are you gonna work tirelessly in correcting the misconception of your lord Protector?
We should find means and ways regardless. Let our means be peaceful! Like in this case, sincere devotees went into the crowd n slit in these wonderful brochures. Most of the volunteers there do not belong to the centre, they were recruited last minute (I know this for a fact most of them don't even know what's going on there and then, they're just on the bandwagon for fun!). So it is okay to do so. We didn't furnish ourselves as Shugden Talibans and raided the Jade Buddha expo, did we? LOL
Here you have:
PRO HHDL people (who are in the minor majority)
PRO SHUGDEN people (who are in the minority)
People who are not in the know (who are the greater minority)
Why deprive the people who are not in the know from the blessings of Dorje Shugden?
Of course I do not want the "Talibans" to win and they have been using scaring tactics to ward off people from the exhibitions and Buddhist ceremony. Whereby we and these Buddhists group are more concerned of spreading Buddhism to reach sentient beings.
I do not know whether it is a good idea, as it is sneaky,(I do not want to elaborate further...)
But to spread correct information by educating the public about Buddhism, is considered a good cause.
What I am concerned about that will this give them the reasons to start their "Taliban operations" again?
Some of us who are not involved will get caught in such crossfire.
The ideal thing to do is that you sell your products and I sell mine, let's not cross each other line.
Same like you guys, I also hope that the authentic Lord Atisha Teachings, Lord Je Tsong Kha teachings and Gelug Protector Dorje Shugden will flourish, reach and benefiting the sentient beings. _/|\_
