I have heard that the current incarnation has faced tremendous opposition and obstacles from the anti-shugden camps. The young Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche, when he was still a child, was even faced with attackers who came charging into his Ladrang in Gaden, wanting to physically harm the boy. The monks of his Ladrang had to literally stand guard around the ladrang, taking shifts to protect the young boy. He eventually had to flee to America where it would be safer for him.
The point in saying this is to illustrate how such highly attained Lamas - even their young incarnations who haven't even really begun teaching yet - are being attacked because of this current ban. This is what the ban has led to - turning people into monsters who think it is perfectly find to physically hurt not just another practitioner, but a high Lama - and in the name of religion!
It is incredible that this is how practice in this world has degenerated - that all the great accomplishments of a Lama, everything he has contributed to the growth of Dharma in the world, can be erased by a single practice. How is this logical?
It is because of Trijang Rinpoche, as most of you will well know, that we have received almost all the lineages we have now. So much of the Gelugpa lineage in the world today stems from him, and the teachings he brought out from Tibet (mainly from his Guru, Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche.) In denying the practice and lineage of Shugden which he has passed down to us, we inevitably deny and reject all the other practices he has given us - saying that he is "wrong" in one practice opens the possibility for every other practice to also be wrong, or bad, or harmful. How is this logical? That is saying the whole lineage is subject to being flawed, that even the practices the Dalai Lama are engaged in - as a direct disciple of Trijang Rinpoche - are also wrong. Then it never ends. The attacks will be endless.
Is this what we are causing for our lineage?
