（译文请往下看） Dear friends around the world, On November 24, 2018, a grand Dorje Shugden puja was conducted at Malacca’s Dorje Shugden Chapel to commemorate the chapel’s 3rd anniversary. Three years ago, some of my devoted students heard that I had the wish of having a chapel to Dorje Shugden in Malacca. I have visited Malacca many times and some of my oldest students live there. They made my wish come true on October 10, 2015. These students, wanting others to benefit from the practice of Dorje Shugden just like they had, found the place, had it re...

Recently, one of my students drew my attention to a letter written by a Karma Kagyu Lama, His Eminence Lodreu Rabsel Rinpoche. It was addressed to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the letter is honest, straight forward, eloquent, accusational, shocking and as if they have reached their wits end. It touches on a...
