Relationship with China

Dear ministers and representatives of the Central Tibetan Administration,

I am writing to you with great concern over a very urgent matter. I request you to please pay attention to this, because it is affecting Tibetan people’s relationship with China and the potential problems that can arise.

For many years, the Tibetan government, people and the Dalai Lama himself have been trying to impose a ban on the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden. The reasons given for this ban is that (1) Dorje Shugden harms the Dalai Lama’s life and (2) Dorje Shugden threatens the cause for Tibetan independence. (3) You also make accusations that Dorje Shugden practitioners are spies of the Chinese government.

We all know that these statements are untrue. It is not possible for Chenrezig Dalai Lama to be harmed by any being, especially not an enlightened Dharma Protector like Dorje Shugden. Also, you have never produced any solid proof that Shugden practitioners are really Chinese spies or being financially supported by the Chinese. The claims you have made are completely false. They become very negative and harmful rumors.

By openly making claims like this, you are giving China the tools and fuel to use against the Tibetans. This also creates instability in India and for the Indians who have been extremely kind to host the Tibetan community. Should any conflict arise between nations, YOU would be directly responsible for it, by making such negative comments against the Chinese.

This puts your own Tibetan people and your fellow Indian compatriots in a politically harmful situation, as you are directly creating cause for misunderstanding and confusion between people, nations and cultures.

When you speak like this about such unfounded things, it also reflects very badly on you, as a modern and democratic secular government. You show yourself to be very petty and that you have no integrity, because you are simply making up statements and accusations against your own people (Tibetans) and other powerful nations (China) without any proof.

I am writing to request you, with great concern, to put an immediate stop to spreading such rumors and making these kinds of statements. It will be very harmful for your own government and people, and international relations.

All of us around the world look forward to seeing that the CTA stop talking this damaging and insulting ways. Instead, I hope you will create more positive actions and speak in more correct and beneficial ways.

Yours sincerely,

[YOUR NAME]
