My point was, the monk left his monastery because it was a Shugden practising monastery. By turning his back on Dorje Shugden, perhaps he lost his protection and as a result, had to suffer terribly. Perhaps if he had maintained his faith in Dorje Shugden, none of this would have happened.
Perhaps.. though i do believe that everything that happens to us is a result of our karma so whatever beating he took, it is the result of negative karma. I guess he had guru devotion to Dalai Lama which is what made him stick to his guns regardless of the consequences. Though i of course completely disagree with his animosity to Dorje Shugden, I do respect him for having stuck to his principles. He could have easily just said he would accept Dorje Shugden in order for self-preservation, but he did not. Regardless of whether the Dalai Lama is a Buddha or not, I guess Kardo believes that he is, and that belief alone should bring him to a decent rebirth. I hope so anyway.
That's an aspect that I did not see, that he was too, holding on to his Guru devotion to the Dalai Lama on the Dorje Shugden ban. But what was unfortunate was how he would regard the Dalai Lama whom he has never met before to be more close than him compared to the Lamas that he sees everyday in his monastery and allows the Dalai Lama to overwrite the instructions of his own lamas that he sees everyday. I dont think that this sort of behaviour is something commendable at all.
There can't be many of the Dalai Lama's students left in Tibet.
How could a young monk residing in China claim devotion for a lama (the Dalai Lama) that he has never met while showing doubt and breaking his samaya with the teachers that directly take care of him?
I do not understand...
There soon will be, in China, no more of those that can claim to have the Dalai Lama as their guru seriously.
Very soon, with the passing of the Dalai Lama, we will not hear of Tibetan independence much more ever.
Tibet will blossom together with China and with Dorje Shugden as a spiritual ally.
Dorje Shugden is not against the CTA nor the Dalai Lama, neither is he supporting them, because this is mere politic, nothing to do with Dorje Shugden at all, nothing to do with Buddhist practice.
After the slow disappearance of the independence dream of some nostalgic Tibetans, Buddhism will flourish even more in China, free from politic, free from power games, free from controversial issues within the Tibetan community and also the Sangha community.
This is a simple matter of facts and logic.
Perhaps this is how Dorje Shugden assists us in propitiating Buddhism, by freeing it from politics and getting support from the most powerful rising power in the world: China.
