Lama Thubten Phurbu, a prominent Gelug lama, is at the forefront of spreading Je Tsongkhapa’s tradition inside Tibet. He recently visited Shar Gaden Monastery and the following are video recordings of his visit.
Lama Thubten Phurbu’s visit is an indication of the close ties between Dorje Shugden lamas within Tibet and those outside of Tibet. Such harmony and good relations between these eminent Shugden lamas provide an effective network by which many spiritual and worldly endeavors can be accomplished.
The Chinese authorities are very strict with whom they allow to travel into and out of Tibet due to perceived security risks as the result of the unresolved Sino-Tibetan conflict. That Lama Thubten Phurbu can travel in and out of Tibet unrestricted is a reflection of his standing with the Chinese government and the confidence he has earned from them.
While the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) may be amazed and even suspicious at the Chinese government’s trust of Lama Thubten Phurbu, no one can accuse him to have betrayed the Tibetan cause as he did not leave Tibet for the exiled Tibetan community but remained behind to work for the benefit of his fellow countrymen under very strenuous conditions. In fact, monks like Lama Thubten Phurbu have done much more for the Tibetan people than the CTA have.
Such ability and opportunity to collaborate and cooperate between the lamas in Tibet and those in exile can yield tremendous benefits for the welfare of the Tibetan people and indeed, the Tibetan cause. This is yet another advantage Dorje Shugden lamas have, which is an asset to the CTA. But at the moment, with the Dorje Shugden ban still in effect, the Tibetans in exile are prohibited from benefitting from this ready bridge to overcome the Sino-Tibetan impasse.
This is yet another reason to lift the ban if the Tibetans are serious about getting back their country. Thus far, the CTA has created more rifts than solutions with the Chinese and even amongst the Tibetans. In contrast, Dorje Shugden lamas have been repairing the damage and fostering harmony amongst Tibetans.

How the Shugden Lamas Are Bringing Tibetans Back to Tibet
While the CTA is antagonizing the Chinese and creating mistrust, Shugden monks like Lama Thubten Phurbu are building trust with the Chinese government while at the same time upholding the greater welfare of all Tibetans.

Lama Thubten Phurbu Spreading Dorje Shugden in Chamdo, Tibet
Dorje Shugden practice is inseparable from Je Tsongkapa’s teachings and Dharma. Shugden monks are spreading the Dharma, Dorje Shugden originated from Tibet, was practiced by Tibetans for centuries. But now the CTA says this Protector practice is wrong?

Dorje Shugden oracle takes trance while Lama Thubten Phurbu is giving Dharma talk
Dorje Shugden is pleased with Lama Thubten Phurbu’s works of spreading the Dharma and showed it by taking impromptu trance of an oracle. It appears that Lama Thubten Phurbu is training an oracle to take trances. Only the cream of the crop within the Sangha can be trained as oracles of Dorje Shugden, and only the highest lamas are able to provide such training.

Shugden Lamas have persevered and continued with a practice that possibly brought much persecution upon themselves. With the right motivation, they are benefiting not only the Tibetans but all practitioners of Je Tsongkhapa world wide.

It is so heart warming to read this article. It is certainly true that the Chinese has high regard and trust of Lama Thubten Phurbu to enable him to travel to and forth India which is a restricted zone for Tibetans. This is clearly an example of what a world peace protector Shugden can do to forge goodwill and harmony in the face of conflicts.
As can be seen Lama Thubten Phurbu and other Shugden lamas have done a great job providing a more conducive environment and condition for Tibetans to practise as well as preserving the religion and culture. Yes, what has CTA done for their country men?
CTA lift the ban and pull up your socks. Your country men do not need the ban. Lift the ban and unite all Tibetans and the victory to the cause will be won.

May all the great Dorje Shugden lamas live long to teach and continue to spread the teachings to push for the ban to come down.
