Three Pots is saying: I think it is of utmost importance that we back up whatever we can with facts... credibility is of the essence
Dearest friend Tripitaka, and TK and Clayton and all.
There is something I want to say but I'm not sure to be able to say it right.
Ok. Let's go back to the beginning.
As we said many times, neither our Lamas nor our Dharmapala need to be protected. Sentient beings are the ones who need that we protect our Lama's reputation, Je Tsongkapa's lineage reputation, and of course our Dharmapala's. Sentient beings need that their reputation be recovered from the mud where the Dalai Lama has thrown it, because otherwise, how can they benefit from this pure lineage, these pure Lamas, this glorious Protector, described as the lineage protected by an evil spirit, and upheld by devil-worshippers? So this is clear I hope, this is our motivation. As the ContentedKadampa wrote: You are protecting this lineage of teachings for future generations who will come to love -- and benefit from -- the profound practice of Dorje Shugden... and, I would say, the whole of the practices of this peerless lineage of Je Rinpoche's.
How to do this?
Well, this is the part difficult to express. I just hate to discuss our lineage and our Lamas and our Protector with those who are not suitable. There are rules for debate, and I do not wish to debate religious points with people that are not my fellow practitioners. The "Dharamsala side" is not suitable: not only the Dalai Lama refuses debate, he uses also false speech as easily as a kid eats candy. Journalists in general are not suitable: this is a tantric practice after all and to try to explain it is quite risky from the vows point of view, and besides, what would they understand? Nothing. Even historical facts about our most holy Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen: to the public, they are so distorted already by biased parties, and they are purposely mudded in such a way that in the end who can definitely claim this or that in the ordinary level? Even documents can be said to be false when you want to remain in denial of truth. People barely know their own history, who is going to follow these mystical fogs where even our general Dharmapalas are considered "Demons of Tibet" ... as the famous exhibit called them 35 years ago in Paris.
If you need to give facts, it's today's facts that count, that don't have to be proved, they are happening as we talk. We don't need credibility when you can have the victims talking today. We have to show the world today that the Dalai Lama is coldly attacking today the human rights of so many of his own people while preaching today world peace and demanding respect for the human rights of Tibetans in Tibet. It's by showing this daring duplicity that the world might understand that what he did and said against the Protector and our Lamas is totally untrue, a red herring to distract from his unlawful actions, and the Protector, a scapegoat for the rage of Tibetans deprived even of the dream of independence by a single man, without ever having themselves been asked their opinion.
So the urgency of getting the information out comes from this, that the facts are happening right now and we don't need to work on backing up anything. Also of course, that anything connected to the Dalai Lama in the next days, until the Olympic Games, makes news titles. After that the attention to anything connected to him is going to die for a long time, precisely because of the intensity of the attention given to him today.
Trinley Kelsang: just before posting this, your new, terribly moving message arrived. Friend, I'm unable to say anything about it, I just wish you were here to give you a hug.
