Suppression Stories
SUPRESSION STORIES OR HOW THE TIBETAN GOVERNMENT USES HIS HOLINESS AND HISTORY TO SUPRESS DORJE SHUGDEN IN THE NAME OF FREE TIBET AND NON-SECTARIANISM Most governments use distorted history and falsified ‘facts’ to remain where they are – in power and looking smart. Why should the Tibetan one be different? Here follows a study of…
Sanctified Sectarianism
When was the last time you heard Gelukpas telling other lineages which practices were appropriate for them? As if they knew the other schools better than them? As if they had thoroughly studied and practiced them? As if each lineage, although interdependent spiritually, wasn’t a completely independent body of transmissions, methods and customs? When Geluk…
Letter of The Day
Reading from Gary’s deep insight and writing, I was thinking that it wouldn’t make any sense that great lamas just gave up a lifetime of practice and commitment to Dorje Shugden because the Dalai Lama said to. It doesn’t make sense. Because: 1. That would mean that all these great omniscient lamas weren’t omniscient after…

Supramundane or enlightened protectors Supramundane protectors are emanations of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who have taken on this role to avert inner and outer obstacles to the practice of Dharma. In Vajrayana practice, along with the “Three Jewels” (Buddha, Dharma and Sangha), there are the “Three Roots” – Guru, Yidam, and protector. The Guru gives blessing,…
Purposes of the Controversy – Spreading Dharma Without and Within
The trap of taking sides – only a Buddha can know As Buddha Shakyamuni did with his “evil” cousin Devadatta, to subdue the dualistic minds of their students and to strengthen the Buddhadharma’s roots in this world, enlightened masters have always enacted dramas of “good versus evil”, acted as if insane, and appeared in any…
The Dalai Lama’s and Tibetan Buddhism’s Way into Our World
Quite literally, His Holiness’ way from isolated Tibet onto the stage of the world at large was paved by Gyalchen Dorje Shugden. In 1959, in Tibet ’s besieged capitol, Lhasa , as HH Trijang Rinpoche writes in his autobiography, he was increasingly worried about His Holiness’ safety. The state oracle’s advice having not been clear…
Contemplate This
CONTEMPLATE THIS…Instead of turning away people who practise Dorje Shugden, we should be kind to them. Invite them, teach them, slowly and give them logic and wisdom without fear, then in time they give up the practice assuming it is ‘wrong’. Wouldn’t that be a Buddhistic approach to all ‘wrong-doers’? Actually Dorje Shugden practitioners are…
