.…Instead of turning away people who practise Dorje Shugden, we should be kind to them. Give them logic and wisdom without fear, then in time they give up the ‘wrong’ practice. Actually Shugden practitioners are not doing anything wrong. But hypothetically, if they are, wouldn’t it be more Buddhistic to be accepting? So those who have views against Dorje Shugden should contemplate this. Those practicing Dorje Shugden should forbear with extreme patience, fortitude and keep your commitments. The time will come as predicted that Dorje Shugden’s practice and it’s terrific quick benefits will be embraced by the world and it will be a practice of many beings.

As I knew HH Dalai Lama is so compassionate to all the beings wherever he went, however I felt very sad when reading this “open letter” which they were so many “unbuddhist”incidents due to his ban on Dorje Shugden’s practice. Buddha taught us be tolerant, compassionate, care and love to ALL the sentient beings every time every where regardless their form, colour, language, culture and belief. How could some Buddhists behave so unethically destroying holy statues, stepping on mantra and other holy items??? Perhaps… perhaps these group of nuns were not act on behalf of HH Dalai Lama. I really hope so.
Does any of the Dorje Shugden’s practitioners destroyed Avalokiteshvara’s status after the ban being announced? Obviously no, so proudly to say all the DS’s practitioners are peaceful and real Buddhists.
Please stop discriminating anyone from now on!!!

What we have here is obviously a brand of religious fanaticism carried out but zealots who believe that they are carrying out their guru’s instructions. If this is not blind faith i dunno what is. It is truly disturbing to see this sangha members behaving in such barbaric manner.
I sincerely hope that the Dalai Lama would at least stop such disgraceful acts, at least in the interim prior to totally lifting this ban.
