Matibhadra, you should not be defending Peljor at all
Of course I should. Peljor, just like anyone else, deserves to be defended when attacked for the wrong reasons.
And those who criticize Peljor for the wrong reasons manage to be even worse than Peljor.
But you are worse than both Peljor and his wrong critics, because you assert that there are people that cannot be defended at all, even when they are unjustly attacked. Therefore, you are no Buddhist at all.
In case, Peljor is criticized from the start of this thread for supposedly “defending sexual abuse”. However, no one has produced even one comma of evidence showing this to be the case.
Rather, just what we see here are complaints like yours, that Peljor attacks lama A or B, but no evidence at all that he “defends sexual abuse”.
What happens is that Peljor (unjustly) attacks Tsem Tulku, as he also (with good reasons) attacks the infamous playboy Sogyal. However, their respective fanboys and fangirls, instead of defending their teachers, resort to cheap slander, ascribing to Peljor what he did not do, to wit, to defend sexual abuse.
Even worse, such fanboys and fangirls even go to the extreme of defending the infamous playboy Sogyal, and therefore incur the very fault they ascribe to Peljor, to wit, to defend sexual abuse.
But you manage to be shamefully even worse than all of them together, because you want people condemned for the wrong reasons, and without the mere possibility of defense, as when you arrogantly belch
“Matibhadra, you should not be defending Peljor at all”.
if you really holds him in high regards,
How I personally hold Peljor is immaterial, because what is at stake are his actions, not his personality.
And, since no evidence has been produced that Peljor defends sexual abuse, who deserves condemnation are only those who unjustly attack him on this basis, including you.
a real monk should not be doing all those things that Peljor is doing.
Whatever Peljor is doing, he cannot be condemned for that which he is not doing, such as “defending sexual abuse”.
Now, whether a monk or not, the fact remains that you are attacking someone without evidence, and even trying to prevent anyone from defending your victim, which is a measure of your irrationality and fanaticism.
The fact that you are defending Peljor shows that you do not understand the true essence of becoming a sangha and hold vows.
Which means that, according to your own idiotic version, the “true essence of becoming a Sangha and holding vows” is to slander others without evidence, right? From which guru did you learn it?
You are encouraging Peljor's action of playing politics and not studying and practicing the Dharma.
Then according to you falsely accusing others without any evidence is an “encouragement to study and practice Dharma”, right?
However, why would you and Tsem Tulku's fanboys and fangirls behave so shamefully?
The only possible answer is your and their dirty wish to make politics, whence the defense of the infamous playboy Sogyal, just because he too was attacked by Peljor, and on the basis of very sound reasons by the way.
Peljor is a shame of sangha
Maybe, but not for the slanderous accusation of “defending sexual abuse”, and not worse than slanderers like you anyway.
and you are encouraging it,
Actually I'm not encouraging Peljor to do anything; rather, I'm just encouraging his slanderers such as you not be be even worse than him.
that says a lot about you as well.
Of course. It says that I'm teaching you what you should have learned from your teachers, if they are worth this name anyway.
