I don't know if someone reading this blog saw the demonstration against the Dalai Lama at Lehigh or other places. Three hundred monks and nuns protesting against the Dalai Lama. These people are saying that the Dalai Lama is not doing what he preaches.
   Most unfortunately what they are saying is true. It's time that the world realizes that the success of the Dalai Lama, beyond his charismatic presence and gestures, comes originally from the teachings about universal love and compassion that he learned from his Gurus. And not only is he doing the opposite of what these sublime teachings teach, he is also persecuting precisely the people who remained faithful to their Gurus, who are the same as the Dalai Lama's.
   And not only the Dalai Lama is doing the opposite of the teachings and betraying his Gurus, he is unceasingly persecuting the practitioners of the Protector of their lineage, whose veneration and practice he received from his Gurus.
   His religious persecution is quite painful for Western practitioners, in ways easy to understand if you ask yourself the question: would I like to have my family, my colleagues, my neighbors, receive calls or emails where I am accused of being a malignant spirit worshipper? This is the type of slander that the Western followers of the Dalai Lama are propagating induced by his long, insistent campaign against the Protector Dorje Shugden.
   But we Westerners are nevertheless in countries where there is a limit to the abuse you can inflict to people. What the world should wake up to, is to the fact that the Dalai Lama is persecuting helpless monks and nuns and lay people in India, where they have become like outcasts amidst their own people, where they have been thrown out of their monasteries, out of their jobs, out of their schools being children of practitioners, where the rest of Tibetans had to swear in front of other deities that they are never going to have any human contact with them any more. This unbelievable segregation was ordered by the Dalai Lama himself, in January of this year, because, he said repeatedly, he had the right to finish what he had started -meaning the ban on Dorje Shugden in 1996.
   The suffering of those Tibetans is heartbreaking. And it's being ignored due to a reason most bizarre: because it seems outlandish, incredible, that the one who preaches religious tolerance to others is doing the opposite of what he preaches.  A cruel vicious circle. But no matter how strange it might seem, it is the truth. The Dalai Lama is transgressing the laws of all civilized countries and he is getting away with it, because he has on his side charisma, the precious teachings he proclaims without following, his celebrity status, his Nobel Peace Prize.
   The world should open its eyes and stop the wrong actions of the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama is not stopping them because the world has decided to close its eyes in his case.
   We who adhere to our Western values of human rights should not allow this to happen any more.
   Please do not believe only my words, investigate. Go to YouTube, to websites like the Shugdensociety.info/home, like Wisdombuddhadorjeshugden.org, and others, to find the truth.
Best to all, your
