Sign on the gate of the Bylakuppe Settlement residence of HH the Dalai Lama

[WisdomBeing]

This is a sign on the gate of the Bylakuppe Settlement residence of HH the Dalai Lama in India which apparently forbids the entry of Dorje Shugden practitioners! So much for the Dalai Lama saying there is no ban on the practice?! Can anyone please provide a translation of the Tibetan?

Pure discrimination in display at HH the Dalai Lama's residence.  It says: " Anyone man or woman who worships Dholgyal or has connection with devotees of Dholgyal: please do not contact the settlement palace of His Holiness (dated June 1, 2013)"

Thanks Icy... where did you get that image from. The inherent contradiction on HH the Dalai Lama's words and actions are so obvious for all to see, yet there is still so much bluster from the CTA and the Dalai Lama regarding this issue. The CTA and the Dalai Lama contend that there is no discrimination or ban on Dorje Shugden practice while this sign blatantly proves otherwise. If the Dalai Lama and the CTA welcome dialogue with Dorje Shugden practitioners, how can dialogue happen if they are not permitted to even contact the Dalai Lama's residence?

Why the double standards indeed?

If there is no real difference Dorje Shugden practitioners and non DS practitioners why should there be a special sign to discourage Dorje Shugden people from entering?

There is really no difference between both DS practitioners and non DS practitioners. The only difference here is the "words" written on the sign which is a label to make this the "difference" by a group of pro Dalai Lama.

In term of mindset, Dorje Shugden is an enlightened Buddha and Manjushri. The difference made here is whether we are a loyal pro Dalai Lama who supports this "private" belief or not.

Ironically, satan worshippers or religious extremists or racists or criminals (not that they are the same, she hastens to add) would be technically allowed to enter the Dalai Lama's residence and attend his teachings since the ONLY people excluded are Dorje Shugden practitioners. Everyone else is welcome!! Sorry but I really don't get that.
