FPMT these days seldom talk about or mention Lama Osel. It must be a great embarrassment for them.
FPMT centres around the world are famous for their 'witch hunts' against other centres that do dorje shugden or suspected of upkeeping the practice. They think of themselves as some kind of spiritual police for the Dalai Lama. But the real motivation behind them pointing fingers at others is abundantly clear and it is not for spiritual purposes. No witch hunts can be be motivated by spiritual good intentions. They want to look good for the Dalai Lama/Tibetan Govt in Exile, so they get their support. With more support, more members and MORE MONEY to do their projects. Which in itself is not bad, but to point fingers at other centres and make other centres look bad does not justify the means as an end to the results. Their methods are wrong.
FPMT gave up shugden, but they should remain quiet about it. They should just do their dharma practice and be still and don't need to make a fanfare about it. Instead you can hear of their attacks on other centres quite often. They want to look so good, that even in their centres they have signs posted up that if you do Shugden, you are not welcome. How strange. How fanatical. So if Lama Yeshe, Trijang Rinpoche, Zong Rinpoche showed up, they wouldn't be allowed in??
What they don't realize is that Lama Zopa is advanced in age and if he passes away, then what happens? They don't have any one to pass the torch to. Lama Osel should have been the one.
FPMT has created many people within their own organization and other organization to doubt, lose faith, question and have negative thoughts against their gurus for practicing Dorje Shugden. In that way, they have caused many to break their samayas with their gurus. That broken samaya comes back to them by way of Lama Osel, who is not able to manifest and 'continue' his dharma works as so much hoped by FPMT. So doesn't Lama Yeshe have attainments? If so, what happened. It leads us to believe that Lama Yeshe cannot manifest his dharma works due to the heavy broken samayas of his wayward students. That is works are delayed due to the karma of his students.
FPMT should repair their samaya with Lama Yeshe by doing their Dorje Shugden practices. Then their organization can continue even after the Dalai lama has passed away. By criticizing dorje shugden practitoners to get on the Dalai Lama's good side, they abandon their own lineage lama (Lama Yeshe).
But by abandoning their lineage lama, they slowly create the causes for their own centres/organization to go down, down and finally flat in the future. By following their lineage lama, they can make their organization succeed well into the future. In the future, whatever the Dalai Lama has said will be forgotten. All thirteen of the previous Dalai Lamas' words are unknown or forgotten to most dharma practitioners. Hardly anyone cares what the previous Dalai Lamas has said. No doubt they were great teachers, but truth be told, it is past already.
So by FPMT making the current Dalai Lama 'happy', they lose themselves. It is better to continue up their Dorje Shugden practices quietly and stop criticizing other practitioners in order to please the Dlalai Lama, because when this current Dalai Lama passes away, then they will have nothing left. No Dalai lama to win favour with and no blessings of the lineage lama and no reincarnation of Lama Osel doing dharma work and Lama Zopa will have passed away. FPMT should think carefully.
Lama Osel cannot manifest his dharma work because they have broken their samaya with Lama Yeshe by abandoning Dorje Shugden's practice. Also by disparaging others who continue to practice Dorje Shugden under so much duress which shows you their strength of mind.
Many of the senior FPMT students have met Lama Yeshe first and accepted him as their guru before they have ever met the Dalai Lama. So they should hold what Lama Yeshe held close to his heart, which is Dorje Shugden and practices.
Lama Yeshe has mentioned many times during his talks that FPMT grew and was successful due to the blessings of his dharma protector Dorje Shugden. Who bide a way was the one who also officially recognized Lama Zopa's current incarnation (see book 'The Lawudo Lama' by Jamyang Wangmo. Vajra Publications pges 171-180)
So outwardly, FPMT may look rosy from the outside now, but definitely not in the near and distant future. Cause and effects does exist unless the Buddha was mistaken.
I do not wish for FPMT to fall, nor do I wish ill of the Dalai lama, but I do wish people would follow the teachings and practices of their teachers without being swayed by the political winds.
