Thank you Bhuyakpo,
This is our request here as well, and even those who personally dislike His Holiness - it would be nice to look deeper before making derogatory statements like 'angry old man'. If you and i, Kelsang, got on TV as much as the Dalai Lama - i don't think we would be world-famous as humanitarians and spiritual leaders.
How the stage has been set by great Dorje Shugden practitioners chosen by His Holiness himself, we have described here. How politics and un-holy advisers create huge obstacles and broken samaya i think is evident wherever we look. To follow oracles who say the sky is blue...the sky is green... the sky has no color... the sky is blood red... the sky kills... seems definitely problematic, especially when trying to convince non-Tibetans. And that it all takes on a bizarre look as the 'problem' didn't just go away after a few inflammatory remarks is undisputed. And yes, i don't think what is being said about Dorje Shugden and us practitioners is skillful, but does that mean i have to adopt the same methods? If i want to win this debate based on my opinions, will it be enough to make categorical remarks? Then the 'power' of these would have to be based on my reputation, and i have none (and wish for none).
So, again and again - what is it that we wish to achieve? To express our feelings? There's plenty of forums for that. Or be of help to all including ourselves? Then we have to practice Dharma mind, Dharma speech and action now more than ever.
It seems one of the big unspoken problems from which Dorje Shugden is a welcome distraction is that there is no such thing as 'the Tibetan cause for freedom of the country' anymore. I remember well how dismayed and angry many younger Tibetans were when that cause was relinquished in Strasbourg, and i wonder what they felt when later the state oracle suddenly announced that Tibet would be free by the year 2000, and the year of 2000 came and went...
Wisdombuddha, to tell the Dalai Lama to stop lying is going to convince no one of anything except that you are some fanatic, CAN'T YOU SEE IT?
EVERYONE, IF YOU WISH TO HELP IT'S GOING TO INVOLVE SKILLFUL WORK AND REAL COMMITMENT.
ONE POST BY TRINLEY KALSANG HAS MORE LONG TERM BENEFICIAL POWER THAN A MILLION "WHY", "YOU SHOULD", "IF THEY HADN'T..", "HE IS.."
LET THE TRUTH BE KNOWN IN A WAY THE WORLD CAN RECOGNIZE IT - FACTUAL, PRECISE, POLITE.
AND IF WRITING SKILFULLY IS NOT OUR STRENGTH, THEN LET'S FUNDRAISE FOR TRINLEY KALSANG AND DECLARE HIM HEAD OF THE RESEARCH DEPARTMENT OF THE VIRTUAL JE TSONGKHAPA UNIVERSITY!
