I think it is not right to degrade the Dalai Lama in spite of how you may perceive him to be.
Agreed. But this you have to tell to the evil dalai, the only one who is degrading himself through his disgraceful behavior, no matter how he may perceive himself.
If he is a real Bodhisattva / Mahasiddha engaging in higher acts that we may not understand, you are creating negative karma.
But since the acts of the evil dalai are clearly understandable as the acts of a perfidious criminal, it is only the evil dalai creating negative karma, not those understanding such acts.
Besides, those such as you, justifying, legitimizing, and even sanctifying such criminal acts, under the cover of their perpetrator being a ”bodhisattva” or a ”mahasiddha”, are surely sharing such negative karma.
If he is just an ordinary practitioner who has committed grave sins, we should not berate him either especially if we hold Bodhisattva vows.
Understanding the evil nature of the actions of the evil dalai, and of those justifying, legitimizing, and even sanctifying them, is no berating.
However, justifying, legitimizing, and even sanctifying evil actions, under the cover of their being perpetrated by a ”bodhisattva” or a ”mahasiddha”, is surely breaking not only root bodhisattva vows, such as forsaking the holy Dharma, but also the refuge vows, the very root of the Buddhist path, such as taking refuge in the Dharma.
In the Bodhisattva vows, we have a vow (in the secondary vows) that prohibits us from insulting those who have committed heinous crimes.
Forget about ”insulting”, ”berating”, and so forth. Such things are only in your imagination. Here we are just investigating, analyzing, and understanding the acts of the evil dalai, together with his twisted, schizophrenic character, on the basis of facts and logic.
Your insistence on claiming that those who are just investigating, analyzing, and understanding the acts of the evil dalai are ”insulting” or ”berating” the pernicious criminal suggests that your actual intent is just to cover those acts with baseless accusations, probably out of some deep seated accomplicity with such acts.
Even if we do not hold Bodhisattva vows, we should aspire to act accordingly.
What are you waiting then? Instead of pompously judging of the behavior of others, why don't you look at your own behavior, and ask yourself why are you trying to cover a criminal?
I know the Dalai Lama's ban on Dorje Shugden angers you
It's the other way round. Investigating, analyzing, and understanding the evil actions, and the twisted character, of the evil dalai, is a source of immense peace of mind. Anger is only the result of lack of understanding, which by the way might explain your own uncontrolled anger against my serene, logical analysis.
and that is understandable
Understanding what does exist is a foolish pastime. Try to understand your own anger.
but it would better to attack his view and ban versus him as a person.
One cannot dissociate a criminal behavior from the personality of the criminal. They must be understood together, or they are not understood at all. Behavior itself is part of the personality, that which they call ”compositional factors”, itself directly related to the other four aggregates. There is no ”personality” beyond just that.
But since you see a ”personality” outside behavior and so forth, it is clear that your own accomplicity with the crimes of the evil dalai, and thus your anger at my logical analyses, is the direct outcome of your own view of a personality beyond the aggregates, the so-called ”view of the transitory collection”, the root and thus the most harmful among the so-called ”five wrong views”.
There is no evil dalai beyond his evil actions and his other four evil aggregates.
That's how I would direct it and I am sure Dorje Shugden and our Lama, would want us to act.
Then you are surely wrong, as both Dorje Shugden and our Lamas want us to act in accordance with the Dharma.
