Washington Post: U.S. Delays Obama/Dalai Lama Meeting

Because the Dalai Lama is mixing Buddhism with politics, he has not achieved anything positive at all for his people in more than 50 years! There is now deeper division, more blaming, more hatred, lying, isolation, degeneration, etc. than ever before. How very sad! He abuses the pure teachings of the Buddha for his short sighted political aims, causing havoc in the monastries and in his own refugee community worldwide. At the same time he is deceiving the whole world, making them believe that he is such a holy monk. How very sad! If he had stayed on the pure spiritual path that was transmitted to him by his Root Guru Trijiang Rinpoche, he would have achieved peace and harmony, and a united and proporous Tibet. But sadly he decided that he was cleverer and holier than his Holy Spiritual Guide. The result everyone can see, just chaos, problems, division, deception, and hatred. How very sad!

But anyone who is questioning the Dalai Lama and his actions is immediately categorized by his followers as Chinese agents etc.. Waves of anger and abuse, follow any critical views that someone might raise. What is the benefit of that? I pray that people start questioning with a virtuous intention, and try to improve the situation, for the benfit of all.

Religion and politics do not reconcile, never, - just allow history to teach you this lesson. This is irrefutable. Just look at the terrible results everywhere... How very sad!

Please Barack Obama do not support this trend. Let politics be politics, and let religion be religion. Tell the Dalai Lama that he should get back to his roots and again follow the pure spiritual path, he should humbly ask for forgiveness from his Root Guru and his lineage Gurus. That would definitely bring peace, happiness, and harmony to all. How wonderful!

We've come a long way in such a short time. It's true after all that the darker moment of night is just before dawn. When I think of the nightmare of the persecution unleashed only a couple of winters ago, the fear those poor monks had to go through, the fear in the lay communities of those unfortunate Tibetans, the false Schism in the Sangha forcibly fabricated by the political power of the TGIE ... what a dark, dark moment! And now look, such glorious morning.

So it's great to recall the efforts of those who were able to stop at least the gross abuse, that wonderful union between the Western Shugden Society and the Tibetan monks during the demonstrations, and all the efforts, secret and open, of all those who helped during that terrible moment. I think we writers and bloggers and webmasters can be quite happy and rejoice in our efforts.

No doubt we have to remain vigilant, and also to forgive without forgetting. No forgetting in order not to repeat errors of the past, mainly the mixing of religion and politics.

May we now concentrate in our practice and all Dharma endeavors.

Thank you Wisdombuddha.

May the precious teachings of Lord Buddha and of Lord Tsonkapa's lineage proliferate, may we practitioners of this most fortunate and pure lineage quickly become omniscient Buddhas to benefit all our mothers without exception. May all goodness expand to the end of space.

There's nothing that the Dalai Lama or the Tibetan Government in Exile can do to eradicate the practice of Protector Dorje Shugden because it's not within their power to do so, any more than it is within their power to stop the sun from rising every morning. Because he is a Wisdom Buddha, all beings will continue receive his care and protection and his practice will spread throughout the world, like the beneficial rays of the sun.
