Dear sir,
My name is (YOUR NAME). I am from Singapore where we got a lot of Buddhist centre. I just join one temple there. Is quite nice, very colourful but first time I go to this centre, I see they got one sign that say not to practice Dorje Shugden. I just join Buddhism so I don’t know what this is about, so I check the Internet for more information.
One of the site I check is Dalai Lama website. I thought because he is leader of Tibetan Buddhist he is very knowledgeable. I have already seen many of his teaching on YouTube. I think he is very compassion because he always teach about kindness and harmony and peace. Also he is Nobel Prize winner.
But to me is quite weird, because Dalai Lama is a monk but his website got section against Dorje Shugden. I think even if Dalai Lama staff don’t agree with Dorje Shugden, they shouldn’t put a section like this on Dalai Lama’s website. I check the Pope website and also some other people like Sai Baba, Gandhi, Desmond Tutu, and they don’t have section like this on their website where they talk bad about other people or other practice.
I just think if my parents is not Buddhist then maybe I become Christian already because I don’t like my religious leader talk bad about other people. He is suppose to teach me to not talk bad about other people, so why he talk bad? But then I think for a little while and after that I think maybe is not Dalai Lama who do this website because he is very busy. I think maybe is his workers and students who make this website. That is why I write to you.
I like Dalai Lama a lot and I also wish him long life. He is very kind to everyone to give us teaching so we can become happy and pray for ourself. So I hope you will take down this section because it make Dalai Lama look very bad.
Thanks,
(YOUR NAME)

Don’t worry about what others say about dojre shuden but just believes in Buddha.
I don’t respect the Dalai lama because he play political and says bad about others.
So what he is a reglious leader?.
He is not a real Buddha follower, with his bad attitudes towards other religion and doesn’t right speech, one of the eight noble path preaches by The Buddha…

Yes it is really confusing when the Dalai Lama preaches compassion and love for all sentients beings but when it comes to the Dorje Shugden practitioners, its a different tune entirely. He had been recorded on camera to instruct fellow monks to use force to evict DS Lamas from monastery. How callous is that? And this coming from the hightest echelon of Tibetan Buddhism? Really shocked me when I first watched it. It still shocks me cause I had always admired the Dalai Lama and never had expected him to be this cruel. Those DS Lamas grew up all their lives in the monastery and to throw them out like that without a care… it is really really really bad. Of course, not to mentioned creating evil out of nothing. Dorje Shugden had been and still is an authentic beneficial protector practice that had helped countless people in their problems. His miracles are proven facts and many holy Lamas (including the 5th Dalai Lama) had propitiated him and wrote praises to him. They had reincarnated life after life, so definitely no harm there. I do pray that the Dalai Lama swiftly lift the ban and reunite all his people again.
