I have another question regarding the Kalachakra lineage itself. Correct me if I am wrong, but Kalachakra was not one of the main yidams that Lama Tsongkhapa relied on, and the current lineage of Kalachakra that we have now comes from Taranatha who also started the Jonang School. If Tarantha is declared as a heretic and his subsequent incarnations banned in Tibet, would that not also mean that all of his teachings are invalid? Jonang was banned for one reason and one reason alone: because they supported the wrong faction, the faction that went against the CTA at that time. It is good that the current Dalai Lama finally admitted to this fact, as it will be the start of a repair of samaya.The sad excuse that CTA gave for the banning of the Jonangs is that they spread the incorrect view of emptiness, known as shentong and therefore, Jonang is a heretical school and must be banned. By declaring a school heretical, they damage the samaya of thousands of people who subscribe to this school. Fortunately, Jonang survived till today with secret monasteries around, and Taranatha just came back as Jetsun Khalka, the Dhamaraja of Mongolia.
My question here is this: If the current CTA still bans Taranatha from reincarnating, but he is the origin of today's Kalachakra cycle of teachings, so if the CTA still sees him as a heretic and bans him and his teachings and his school (note that until today, Jonang is not officially accepted as a tradition in itself, although the Dalai Lama has pushed very hard for it to be accepted), would it not be breaking samaya to criticize a lineage Guru? Taranatha passed the lineage to the Gelugpas, so he is a lineage Guru. His reincarnation has not been unbanned yet, so why practice the teaching but hate the teacher?
Its just something i have been wondering anyway, after thinking about it...how can a practice be okay and authentic when we criticize the teacher who passed down the practice to us?
