Having studied Buddhism in depth for 15 years under the kind guidance of my teacher, i understood and generate great peace of mind by learning entire systematic path leading from current ordinary state of mind toward buddha hood. That is the greatest beauty of Buddhism.

[@2000naidster]

Thank you for sharing this, what a most revered man the Dalai Lama is and the world is a better place because of him

[@indumatisouthern7780]

I Love Dalai Lama and the Teachings of Buddhism very much! My own Spiritual Teachings also share Love for Humanity, Global Peace, Compassion, Generosity, Giving, Forgiveness, Kindness, Gentle Actions or Demeanor, Non-violence, Non-attatchment, Ahimsa (Non-violence to Any Living Creature) etc, same lifestyle principles, if that is the right word. But I consider Dalai Lama as my Buddhist monk, and I love him dearly, have total respect for him, and follow him! Thank you Dear Dalai Lama with all my heart! ♡

[@lightsrallon907]

+Indumati Southern Sorry to burst your bubble but this Dalai Lama eats veal and whatever meat he can hold of... which, as you know, is the tortured flesh of a baby calf stolen from his mother. He has no qualms but plenty of excuses about being a hypocrite. Here is the article with other sources: eriklumberjack.blogspot.com/2010/06/my-question-to-dalai-lama.html He also thinks he's superior as evidenced by his "Dalai Lama protocol, which is: Never turn your back on him. Don't touch him. Don't speak to him unless he speaks to you."

[@jahbless1505]

...yes and one excuse he uses is that in Tibet it is hard to grow vegetables, however, he lives in India a mainly vegetarian country. (!)

[@eternalricemuncher]

Except people who practice Shugden...ie except his own teachers & fellow monks who he shouts at hysterically...but in Tibetan so western people don't know about that

[@vaska1999]

eternalricemuncher I can well believe that the current Dalai Lama is at times quite irascible in private. His levels of testosterone are very high (just listen to the bass tones in his voice), and that can lead to exacerbated, sudden, explosive bits of anger. He refers to his anger often and freely, so that's no news. As for his supposed suppression of freedom of religion (of Shugden worship) you accuse him of: yes, you're right. Now that I've heard this talk and found a little about this Shugden business, I would also ban those particular practices myself. There are things and forces we most definitely shouldn't and mustn't encourage or give a free rein to. The Dalai Lama knows what he's doing in taking the position he has, and I support him in that fully.

“The great master Pabongka was in the first half of the twentieth century the pivotal or key lineage holder of the Oral Geden Tradition. Many other teachers before him mastered certain aspects of the tradition’s teachings, but it was Pabongka Rinpoche’s particular merit to locate and find all these partial transmissions, to learn and realize them, and bring them together once again to pass them on through a single person. In his lifetime there was hardly a significant figure of the Geden tradition who had not been Pabongka Rinpoche’s disciple. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche was the one capable of receiving and passing on the entirety of the Oral Geden Tradition once again. The Dorje Shugden practice is an integral part of that tradition.”

The Buddha showed the path to liberation and empowered people under gods and priests to the reality that each of us are the master of our own destiny. An inescapable question is why so many Buddhist lands and people fell the invasion and destruction of non-Buddhist emerging powers. I do not know why Buddhism fell in India, Afghanistan or Sumatra. In Tibet there was a great national and individual aspiration to follow the Buddha's path. But there has been an element of stiffling piety of priestly religioustiy by the priestly class: Sangha has been understood to mean Buddhist monks but also the Community of the Presence of Virtue. For many decades the Dalai Lama has tried to revive the notion that the Sangha must be committed to the Presence of Virtue--that while monks deserve all respects they must also serve their community.

LOGICAL REASONING SYLLOGISM: Whenever we realize something by means of a conclusive reason we use a special form of logical reasoning known as a syllogism. A syllogism has three parts: subject, predicate and a reason. The combination of the subject and the predicate is called “probandum” in the example below the “probandum” is “The Dalai Lama is not an emanation of Avalokiteshvara” and is this we realize in dependence upon the reason. A conclusive reason is a reason that is able to establish a probandum incontrovertibly. The definition of a conclusive reason is a reason that is qualified by the three modes. The three modes are: the property of the subject, the forward pervasion, and the reverse pervasion; and any conclusive reason will be qualified by all three. We can understand these three modes by considering the syllogism stated below: The Dalai Lama is not an emanation of Avalokiteshvara because all his actions do not correspond with that of the Buddha of compassion. The first mode is called the property of the subject because for a reason to be conclusive it must apply to, or be a property of the subject. In this case, the reason is a property of the subject because all his actions do not correspond with that of the Buddha of compassion (reason) refers to The Dalai Lama (subject). The second mode is called the “forward pervasion “because for a reason to be a conclusive reason it must be pervaded by the predicate. In this case, the reason is qualified by the second mode because if all his actions do not correspond with that of the Buddha of compassion (reason) cannot be an emanation of Avalokiteshvara (predicate). The third mode is called the “reverse pervasion” because if the predicate does not apply the reason must also not apply. In this case, the reason is qualified by the third mode because if he was an emanation of Avalokiteshvara all his actions would correspond with that of the Buddha of compassion. If a reason lacks any of the three modes it is not a conclusive reason. In this case the reason is qualified by the three modes and we can say that it is a syllogism based on a conclusive reason. Maybe sometimes we are not sure about one of the parts of the syllogism, then we have to state another one per example maybe you are not sure about the reason established here ,that is, all his actions does not correspond with that of the Buddha of compassion. Then we can establish another syllogism to prove the reason: All Dalai Lama actions do not correspond with that of the Buddha of compassion because he did not condemn Iraq war; he has brought enormous suffering to many people by banning Dorje Shugden practice and he does not recognize his Spiritual Guide. Recall that even Avalokiteshvara is an enlightened being he has his Spiritual Guide at his crown (Buddha Amithaba) out of respect. For the rest you already know how to check if this is a syllogism based on a valid reason. www.westernshugdensociety.org/video/dalai-lama-expelling-monks/ www.westernshugdensociety.org/video/speeches-enforcing-the-ban/ www.westernshugdensociety.org/video/dalai-lama-iraq-war/

[@vajrayoga]

This is mind blowing in light of his ban and persecution against another (his own past) Buddhist tradition. Beautiful words. Unfortunately his actions completely contradict them. There is so much evidence of the ban that he says doesn't exist - videos of him enforcing it - scolding those not doing more to enforce it - praising those that do - and encouraging harm to those who to disagree with him. Unbelievable hypocrisy.

[@davidbonilla8561]

He has not banned the practice, simply recommended that others do not practice it, because it is the adoration of a "lesser deity" of tibetan buddhism. The dalai lama has said that anyone is free to practice anything, but if you ask him, he would advise not centering your entire spiritual practice around this one thing. Turns out the people following that one thing have a bone to pick with HH. Nobody is banned from doing anything in his eyes. That is a misrepresentation of his words, beliefs and actions and you would do well upon yourself to further clarify your understanding before spouting off on youtube comment boards about this sort of thing. Actually they " shugden cult" are the one who is seriously attacking religious freedom because if you follow them you cannot follow other schools of tibetan bhuddism.

[@vajrayoga]

now he's taken it a step further and issued a proclamation criminalizing the practice. he contradicts himself all the time about the ban. there is irrefutable evidence that he instigated and has strictly enforced the ban. check your facts david

Refuting the believe that the Dalai Lama is a tolerant person using an analogy: THE VOICE OF THE DALAI LAMA If I had to find some fictional character to illustrate what the word tyranny means. I would choose “Saruman the White”. Tolkien describes very precisely what kind of motivation lies behind this word. Saruman is the chief of a saga of wizards in the novel. A priori, he is a positive character. Then later on he is tempted by the lust of power. In the novel we are told that first he studied the arts of the enemy to fight them, but eventually gave in to those same arts. Saruman is tempted by the ring of power, which can subdue the whole “Middle-earth”. Saruman wants all the power for himself and from that very moment begins the corruption of his mind. First, by betraying his own kind, remember when Gandalf visits him Saruman tempts him with the possibility to help him to get the ring of power and dominate in this way “Middle-earth”. Gandalf refuses of course and then Saruman make him his prisoner. After that Saruman mobilizes all his forces to get the ring of power. In order, to achieve this he lies, cheats, and manipulates his own people as a real tyrant. It is important to remember that he is a being with powers and uses them to achieve his own distorted purposes. You only need to read the chapter “The voice of Saruman” to realize how he is able to manipulate and confuse people only with the friendly and seductive tone of his speech. Recall that in this chapter Saruman has already been defeated and cornered in his tower, but still he has the power of his voice that like the song of the sirens may tempt the unwary sailor. Luckily there is Gandalf to dismount all his lies. Tolkien makes an excellent analysis of this character in this chapter.It is so good that one fear that Saruman will convince everyone of his goodness. It requires all the skill and integrity of Gandalf to defeat him. This is a magnificent work to analyse power and its manipulations, how power changes the mind and the dangers of being tempted by power. Unfortunately, it is not very difficult to find in this world examples that fit perfectly with Tolkien’s descriptions of Saruman. I think that the most remarkable is that of the Dalai Lama as a symbol of Buddhism worldwide, Nobel peace prize, supported by Hollywood and the media, as well as being the representative in this world of the words tolerance, compassion and goodness, actually he has deceive the whole world. The Dalai Lama voice resembles that of Saruman. His words in the west are cordial and tolerant but what really lies behind his seductive voice is the word tyranny. Tyranny towards his own people as religious discrimination (chasing mercilessly Dorje Shugden practitioners) Since the Dalai Lama arrived to India his real motivation has been to destroy the four traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, thus creating a new tradition of which he would be the head. Then he would be the absolute leader of his people, political, material and spiritual. Is not this a description of absolutism? Finally, I would only make a recommendation to all those under the influence of the Dalai Lama, check what is behind the voice of "HH" the Dalai Lama because his music although seductive resembles that of its counterpart in fiction.

Lesly I have to say I support Kalsang on this matter and I believe you are a little misguided on the Shugden issue. His Holiness and all committed Buddhists welcome freedom of thought speech and in general free will. His Holiness has only highlighted the seperatism that exists in the Dorjee Shugden group of Buddhists. The 4 schools of Buddhists Kagyu Sakya Gelug & Nyingma all embrace each other and although there are subtle differences in the way they practice, there is no worship of one particular deity or God because all are inreconnected. The Dorjee Shugden supporters have moved away from this and so they cannot be accepted in the traditional Tibetan way. His Holiness has made clear that he does not advocate for Shugden practice but the Shugden supporters have murdered people in revenge so we have to look at this on a more balanced perspective.

Actually he is called as "Hungry Ghost", there was an old small Skaya monastery in Bhutan where it had the statue of this ghost but there is no history that Bhutanese worshiped this protector. Some times in the past decade HH Je Khenpo of Bhutan directed to the ghost in a compassionate manner to leave the country as it is not the right country for him. Performing rituals his statue was placed on the river, however, it refused to leave. Then HH Je Khenpo commanded in wrathful way and the statue was immediately washed downwards to India as directed. IN addition the protectors and protectress in Bhutan chased this hell out of Bhutan. However, no Bhutanese is aware of this since nobody give shit to it. He was subdued by High Nyingma Lama called Minling Terchen whose line at present is late HH Minling Trichen.

It will grow only worse for them. - The 14th Dalai Lama to Gen Chonze of Trijang Labrang (Gaden Shartse Monastery, South India, January 1999) you can see it on video if you need further proof niznet tell me if you need the link and i'll find it for you but this OLD news - he issued a new proclamation last week criminalizing the practice - have you seen it - its a public document. you can't make this shit up.

Refuting the believe that the Dalai Lama is a sincere and pure buddhist practitioner and teacher by using his words and comparing it with Buddhas wisdom: ANGER SOLVES NOTHING We must admit that sometimes the Dalai Lama tells the truth. Some days ago a friend of mine showed me a magazine with a Dalai Lama interview, in it the Dalai Lama says the following and I quote: There is no much sense in me speaking about myself. It is better that other people do it. What I know is that when I was a child I was a character, but I have changed. Nowadays, I get angry from time to time, like for example not long ago in Madrid. It was in the hotel waiting for my luggage to arrive to the hotel, and it was not arriving. No one knew anything about it. How silly! It should be somewhere. So I lost my temper. But it was for a good reason: in my luggage there was my Tibetan medicine and I have stomach pain, so I need it. In general I think that emotions and intelligence come together. The emotions are part of our life but intelligence must control them. In my case, when emotions come out my wisdom and experience help me. However sometimes they appear in my dreams. I see myself fighting with people. I hold something in my hand and I try to hit them, but then I remember in my dream that I am a monk and I should not fight. Sometimes I also dream with women. Yes attractive women… The Dalai Lama laughs and speaks in Tibetan that Thetong translates: . The Dalai Lama keeps laughing:

Just look at you,two or three learned knowledge,you are ATTACKING HIs Holiness,thats the difference. Do you really know what Buddhism,its core value and meaning,or have ever heard about His Holiness teachings.His Holiness time and again said,"If you dont agree or think, my teaching doesn't make sense,dont listen or bother, you dont need to" never said, I am the best, My religion is the best and follow my views and opinions" .

Believe or not His Holiness trying to save people from wrong path or teacher in case of Shugden. However, he has given an option to every individual whether believe him or not and find your own path. Shugden people misinformed outside world accompanying with some Westerners and tried to convinced others. But third person must always search the history of Shugden himself from all the reliable accounts Written by numerous Tibetan scholars from time to time. The fact about Shugden Association in India, how these Shugden monks murders non-shugden Buddhist monks in India, how they abuse non-Shugdhen believers, how these shugden monks came with knives to kill exile representative in South India, how they brutally beaten monks, lay persons and leaders who spoke against Shugden should study by someone to find the fact.
