Dear friends, The peaceful removal of the undemocratic ban that infringes on religious freedom of worship of Dorje Shugden is a concern for everyone. We therefore encourage the kind assistance of everyone towards the International Shugden Community (ISC) who are determined to remove the ban through peaceful means bringing no harm to His Holiness the Dalai Lama or anyone.
Sincerely,

Dear Kelsang,
On February 25, we had sent a messenger to your spokesperson during the demonstrations at the Forum (Los Angeles), with a letter to ask how we can make a donation towards the upcoming Washington, D.C. March 7, 2014 demonstrations, to sponsor snacks, drinks and / or however you would like to use the money for the volunteers. We did not have any information so we included our email ([email protected]) in order for him to please let us know how we could make a donation. He did not reply, most likely being very busy with logistics. He is a great spokesperson and we were very happy to see his summarization of the ban on YouTube and to the media.
We would like to make a payment via PayPal of US$1,000, as a donation towards the demonstrations. Please take these codes and load them into your PayPal account. Being unique codes, they will only work with one PayPal account and you will be able to receive the money instantly. For security reasons we will send you the PayPal codes and instructions on how to receive the donation separately and directly after this letter.
We at www.dorjeshugden.com are in full support of removing the undemocratic ban. Although our methods differ to that of the International Shugden Community’s (ISC), our motivation is the same. We at www.dorjeshugden.com find His Eminence Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche a tremendous inspiration as his knowledge of sutra and tantra are undisputed and he has disseminated Dharma throughout the world. His guru devotion and commitment to our holy lineage is unbiased and firm. We wish him to live 1,000 years.
We offer all of you our prayers in your works to remove the ban and we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you are doing towards the pure tradition of Je Tsongkapa to reach many more unimpeded. All of us Dorje Shugden practitioners wish no harm towards His Holiness the Dalai Lama or anyone. The recent attack on a senior monk by the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) (http://www.dorjeshugden.com/all-articles/the-controversy/cta-creates-violence-again/) shows how violent and dangerous the pro-ban (Dalai Lama) supporters can be. We wish all of you going for a peaceful protest to be alert and free of any physical danger. Please take care. We will always be peaceful and use peaceful methods.
Please acknowledge when you have received our humble donation and we look forward to the updates for the upcoming Washington event.
Sincerely and with prayers,

Dear http://www.dorjeshugden.com,
You guys are amazing, hardworking and generous.
You create this powerful website to keep us all updated on every facet of Dorje Shugden both spiritual and secular. Now you donate to another organization (International Shugden Community) to release the ban. You guys really do not work for name, fame or gain but strictly to bring knowledge about Dorje Shugden and dispel ignorance.
I am sure ISC and Kadampa organization will feel kinship and appreciation towards you all. Kudos and thank you for all your generosity.

Dear http://www.dorjeshugden.com,
Thank you for your very generous donation towards the ISC’s efforts in peaceful demonstrations against the Dalai Lama’s unlawful ban and discrimination towards Shugden practitioners.
May the ISC and http://www.dorjeshugden.com continue its partnership until the Dalai Lama removes this ban and Shugden practitioners worldwide can once again have the freedom to practice in the way instructed by our precious Spiritual Guides.
Thank you once again.
With love, friendship and gratitude,

This is wonderful news to be able to connect the worldwide web of DS practitioners and various dharma organisations that may follow different paths but have 1 goal in mind – to end the DS Ban and all the negative actions that result.
Thank you Admin for highlighting additional means for us to connect and support other DS practitioners working hard to voice our concerns on a world stage.
I checked out the website today but unfortunately making donations was closed but wondered if it is still possible to contribute to getting feet on ground at other places where HHDL may be teaching? to keep the momentum and awareness building in the mind of the general public?
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Admin as always my DS beacon of all things we should be aware of.

I am so heartened by your post. As a student of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s, thank you so very much.
“Although our methods differ to that of the International Shugden Community’s (ISC), our motivation is the same.”
Exactly. May all of our various peaceful, compassionate actions together end this ban once and for all and may all living beings be completely free from religious persecution.

@ JAK Thank you for being here at DS.COM I love that also…
I am not a student of GKG but I respect him immensely as do others on this website and my friends in India and Nepal.
I also feel that for our organisations to work harmoniously together we do indeed need to focus on a common goal instead of our differences in our respective lineages / paths.
In my mind this is irrelevant because even though we may have diverged into different paths because of the teachers we follow? due to our individual karma and merit…
We are all still from the same Dharma Tree and have always had a close relationship (I don’t see any reason that we should not continue offering support to each other if we can).
Just as I cannot let go of my own practice and relationship with DS Lamas, GKG and his students will always be in my thoughts and prayers also and I believe with all my heart that all DS practitioners and their dharma organisations have a role to play in some shape or form.
TIL that we can create the karma of harmony between our diverse organisations. The protector has given advice that the ban will be lifted faster when all DS practitioners work together harmoniously towards a common goal.
Any method or opportunity to bring us closer together is great IMHO.
Thank you JAK.
