路透社刊登我对亚洲多国达致和谐关系的祝愿
异中求同是为世界带来真正的和谐之道。身处今日这个时代,我们背负过去历史中的种种分歧和问题,也正为这一切寻求解决方案。不管怎样,今时今日我们采取什么方式解决那些分歧和问题将能给世界带来最深远的影响,因为我们的后代将拥有更美好的未来,而我们也将为他们留下光明的前程。我们必须谨记一点:我们的人性超越一切关于你和我、我们和他们的概念,以及种族、宗教、背景、年龄、身处的地域和其他我们认为将人跟人隔阂的标签。若我们谨记这一点,我们就能开始修补我们之间的嫌隙,开创和平、祥和的景象。这样的人道精神及和解的景象开始于上个月(四月份)在亚洲兴盛起来。我衷心希望,也祈愿这样的美事能持续不断,一切众生因此受益。
2018年4月27日,南北韩领袖的会面给世界丢了一颗震撼弹。自南北韩在1953年休战后,两国关系一直动荡——按照理论,两国在过去的65年中一直维持战争状态,因为两国从未签署和平协议,有的仅是休战协议。于是,南北韩领袖的会面是世人始料未及之事,但它发生了。两国领袖有意修补嫌隙、搭建建交的桥梁,使两国国人不再有所隔阂。南北韩两国领袖克服重重障碍落实了历史性的会面,此举意义深远。
同样的,亚洲的另外两个国家——印度和中国也在彼此维持了数十年后的僵硬关系后开始向彼此展现友好姿态。如今,两国为国民福祉而决心改善关系。近来,我们看见印度总理莫迪到武汉同中国国家主席习近平举行非正式会晤,开启和解的过程。印度总理莫迪对会晤中国国家主席习近平表现热切,他将先前计划好去北京的行程提前了。同样的,这也是人人始料未及之举,但这两国领袖正放眼未来。中国和印度都是亚洲列国中的经济和政治强国,两国人口的总数占世界人口的百分之三十五。两国若保持对立关系,这不仅对两国无益,对周边国家也是无益。和解及合作才能实现互惠互利。
我们明白冰冻三尺非一曰之寒,不管是中印关系或是南北韩关系的和谐,并不会是朝夕之事,而是一步一脚印,往正确方向行走方能促成。没有任何一个人愿意生活在恐惧、纷争、猜疑和绝望之中。以上所述的例子展现出世界正发生正面改变的开端,我衷心希望此景将延续下去。
在相同的脉络下,第十四世达赖尊者也开始修补藏人社群中的嫌隙。他在2018年4月25日的声明中间接承认中国政府认证的班禅喇嘛。此举可说是向中国政府伸出和平及和解的橄榄枝,是修复流亡藏人与中国政府之间的裂痕的必要举动。达赖尊者以蒋阳钦哲旺波同时出现五个转世的例子,暗指两位十世班禅的转世都是真实无误的转世。达赖尊者称中国政府认证的班禅喇嘛为“官方班禅喇嘛”,至于他认证的那一位,他表示该名灵童如今仍在人世,且生活安好,正接受良好教育。达赖尊者的言论正好回应并终结了部分藏人对中国政府长达22年的控诉——后者虐待该名灵童的控诉。

诸如此类的新闻证明了放下分歧是有可能办得到的一件事,我们需要做的,只是为自己和他人盘算如何打造一个更美好的未来。今日我们看到各国领袖能为开创新格局而决意克服重重困难、放下分歧,相比之下,像是多杰雄登的议题是更容易解决的问题。二十年年来,多杰雄登信众饱受排挤和歧视,更被放逐到流亡藏人社群之外。若达赖尊者能发表关于班禅喇嘛的声明,那么若是尊者有意发表声明终结多杰雄登的禁令,那也是相等容易之事。正如我在我的请愿信函中略述的,这么做能终结另一个经已在四分五裂的流亡藏人社群中滋生的痛苦。
共创和平能保障我们的未来,分歧和纷争只会使人痛心。人们的福祉唯有在前者存在的情况下才能存在,这是我的祈愿,祈愿它将继续发生。感谢路透社刊登我对近日时事进展的心得,我也借此机会请求藏人行政中央、世界各国政府及每一个人,请大家放下分歧,拥抱更崇高的价值、团结与和平。分歧从未结出善果,但爱、慈悲、智慧及从冲突中和解,使我们的世界变得更美好。每当出现和解的美事,我们一定要支持并加以鼓励,使这样的美事不断。我不仅对亚洲有如此的祝愿,我对整个世界都怀抱相同的祝愿。
我衷心祝愿国与国、人与人之间能达致和解、和平并且维持这种状态,无谓的痛苦,不管是哪一种形式的痛苦,皆能划上句点。让我们拥抱人性中的真善美,超越隔阂我们的其他东西。
詹杜固仁波切双掌合十启

尊贵的第廿五世詹杜固仁波切为亚洲多国间的和谐关系献上祝愿
在达赖尊者发表与中国政府认证的十一世班禅喇嘛相关的善意言论后,尊贵的第廿五世詹杜固仁波切为藏人间的友爱互助献上他最诚挚的祝愿。
马来西亚八打灵再也,2018年5月3日
“过去的一个月,亚洲各国过去的紧张局势出现历史性的缓和之象”,藏传佛教格鲁派高僧、马来西亚克切拉佛教团体精神导师——尊贵的第廿五世詹杜固仁波切如是表示。印度总理莫迪同中国国家主席习近平举行非正式会晤,重置两国关系;南北韩领袖金正恩及文在寅对彼此的共同血统和文化相知相惜,更进一步发表和平宣言,落实朝鲜半岛“无核化”;金正恩更将在不
久的将来会见美国总统特朗普。
相同的一个月份里,最近的某日是达赖尊者所认证的那位十世班禅转世灵童(也是消失无踪的那位转世灵童之人选)的29岁生日。就在那一日,达赖尊者借机向世界宣布:根据可靠消息。他所认证的灵童人选根敦确吉尼玛仍然在世,且生活安好。
除此,达赖尊者也发表令人震惊的话:官方班禅喇嘛(获中国政府认证的第十一世班禅喇嘛坚赞诺布)正在一名具格的上师的座下学习。这句话暗示这位过去遭达赖尊者否认、获中国政府支持的十一世班禅喇嘛正在崛起成为一位具正面影响的佛教大师,一位能护持藏传佛教格鲁传承的上师。在藏语的语境中,这是对这一位十一世班禅喇嘛的认可。
当时在尊者两侧的还有藏人行政中央的领袖洛桑森格及藏人行政中央人民议会议员堪布索南丹培。达赖尊者接着提出著名藏传佛教大师蒋阳钦哲旺波转世传承的例子,为两位十世班禅转世灵童人选均属实的可能性佐证。尊者清楚的暗示中国政府认证的那位班禅喇嘛多半是真实无误的转世。
从2018年4月初开始,眼看世界迎来接二连三的正面发展,尊贵的第廿五世詹杜固仁波切就在马来西亚八打灵再也进行一系列的特殊酬谢法会。
根据尊贵的第廿五世詹杜固仁波切,四月份是大和解的美好月份——达赖尊者针对班禅“闹双胞”之事给了清晰的解释:其中一位班禅获传承大师及中国政府独立的认证;另一位则获得达赖尊者的认证。对这一说明,我心怀感激,也值得随喜。
过去二十多年来,藏人行政中央始终坚持中国认证的班禅喇嘛是不“合法”的。因此,在很长的一段时间里,大家都无法理性地讨论这件事情。然而,现在随着达赖尊者出面澄清或许存在着几个班禅喇嘛的可能性,这件事情有望展开和解。
尊贵的第廿五世詹杜固仁波切诚心祈愿藏族同胞之间能够冰释前嫌,也祈愿各国之间的关系能够更加密切。仁波切希望各种形式的歧视,以及针对信仰、宗教和灵修所展开的攻击行为都能告一段落,取而代之的是谅解和宽容对待各种信仰的人群,让大家都能自由选择个人的信仰。此外,仁波切也衷心祈求达赖尊者和善解决因多杰雄登信仰所引发的分歧,毕竟这也是十一世班禅喇嘛的信仰。尊贵的第廿五世詹杜固仁波切表示:现在已经是手足同胞们携手并进的时候了。
达赖尊者做出了慈悲和伟大的努力,向中国展示善意,全球的藏族同胞都必须支持尊者的意愿。尊贵的第廿五世詹杜固仁波切至诚祈愿达赖尊者和两位班禅喇嘛都能长寿,同时也祈愿中国、西藏,乃至全世界都能享有和平与繁荣。

附录
藏人行政中央网站
以下为西藏领导层的网站Tibet.net的屏幕截图。 其中,他们特别设立了一个提供多杰雄登“信息”的栏目,旨在鼓吹人们对多杰雄登修持者的仇恨、负面情绪和劣行。究竟是什么样的民主领导才会在他们的网站上特别设立一个专用来针对宗教团体的栏目? 不难想象,如果美国人或加拿大人,或任何一个民主政府在他们的网站上特别设立一个这样的栏目,势必引起轩然大波!
达赖尊者官方网站
这是达赖尊者官方网站DalaiLama.com的屏幕截图。尊者的网站上设有这一个栏目,其实就等于是鼓励藏人歧视和隔离多杰雄登修持者。这栏目的存在可说是达赖尊者为这种行为“背书”;当反雄登者看到这一点时,他们自然就会认为这种隔离的做法是可行的,“因为达赖尊者这样说”。 我不认为达赖尊者会认同这种做法,但其官网背后的网站管理员和代笔实在不应该在尊者的官网上设立这么一个反多杰雄登的栏目,鼓吹基于宗教信仰而歧视一个团体的做法。 在21世纪的今天,这种做法跟达赖尊者这位伟大精神领袖的形象并不契合。不要歧视,宽容才是正道。
如果说禁止多杰雄登修持只是一个忠告而非禁令,又何须在任何一个网站上设立这样的栏目?
西藏流亡议会决议声明政府雇员不应该依止多杰雄登
1996年,西藏领导层通过了一项决议,声明所有部门(和员工)都不应该依止多杰雄登(第8条)。该决议还指出,供奉(多杰雄登)者将对达赖尊者的生命和所谓的西藏事业构成伤害。既然供奉多杰雄登已被广泛标记为反达赖尊者、反藏人行政中央和不忠,藏人聚居地和政府内部的成员又怎能公开参与多杰雄登修持呢?决议公布后,公开修持多杰雄登只会给他们带来批评、贬损、骚扰和歧视,正如多杰雄登修持者在过去的20年中所经历的一样。 因此,他们只有三个选择:放弃修持(许多人不会这样做)、私下修持或放弃工作。
西藏流亡议会决议将多杰雄登修持者命名为历史罪犯
这是藏人行政中央官网tibet.net的屏幕截图,显示西藏流亡议会于2014年3月17日一致通过决议,将多杰雄登修持者命名为历史罪犯(第三条第二段)
视频:达赖尊者禁止多杰雄登修持兼驱逐僧人
视频显示达赖尊者2008年在哲蚌寺清楚声明,拒绝放弃多杰雄登修持者应被驱逐出寺院。尊者甚至说,若有些人觉得很难完成这项指示,应该说明是达赖尊者指示他们将多杰雄登修持者驱逐出寺。
我的问题是:如果放弃多杰雄登修持只是一项建议,而我们也可以根据个人意愿选择想要依止的对象,那么为什么选择继续修持多杰雄登者会遭受如此严厉的对付?尊者说了这一番话,结果就是成千上万名雄登僧人被驱逐出寺,被迫建立自己的寺院,以便能继续修持多杰雄登。
视频:甘丹寺遭攻击
藏人行政中央自20年前颁布多杰雄登禁令以来,就持续展开一系列反多杰雄登修持者的仇恨运动。西藏领导层这么做已经违背了达赖尊者慈悲和宽容的核心教诲,还误导世界这些运动的本质。西藏领导层以运营为由,从西方国家获取大量的赞助和财政援助,但他们实际上却将这些资金用在通过各种手段打压藏人社区信仰自由的运动上,煽动人们对多杰雄登修持者进行暴力镇压。
这段录像清楚显示多杰雄登修持者过去20年来因多杰雄登禁令而活在恐惧中。尽管西藏领导层和他们的支持者持续使用各种暴力和不道德手段来隔离和歧视多杰雄登修持者,但雄登修持者并没有反击。相反地,他们继续和平地坚守对多杰雄登传承上师的依止,尤其是与护法相关的修持和教诲。 视频的主要部分摄于2000年,显示3000名藏族僧俗群众正朝南印度甘丹萨济寺前进,准备对一群多杰雄登修持者发动暴乱。

视频:多杰雄登修持者遭甘丹萨济寺招待所拒于门外
一名多杰雄登修持者前往德里西藏村的甘丹萨济寺招待所询问房间价格,却遭服务人员拒绝,还被要求离开。
视频:法国24电视台报道多杰雄登问题
法国24(France 24)电视台是法国知名的新闻网络,向以客观的报道而闻名。他们广泛报道了多杰雄登问题,播放时间之长足以反映问题的严重性。在他们的视频中,法国24电视台成功捕获了多杰雄登僧人遭歧视的画面。
视频:半岛电视台报道多杰雄登问题
总部设于中东的半岛电视台,是一家在西方文化影响下诞生的媒体。他们素以报道其他新闻机构或不愿报道的争议性课题而闻名,并常针对时事做出客观、尖锐的报道。
禁令的证据
这些年来,我的学生们收集了不少多杰雄登禁令存在的证据。就我个人而言,我对此感到失望和难过,毕竟他们能够收集到如此多的证据,就证明了这个禁令已广泛存在。正如你下方所看到的,在藏人聚居地随处都可见到禁止多杰雄登修持者的告示。多杰雄登修持者无论是试图获得医疗服务、进入餐厅,或到商店购物,都遭受拒绝。一个“忠告”怎么可能在西藏群体和藏人聚居地引起那么强烈的反雄登行为呢?

Dear friends,
Tibet has produced many powerful meditations, rituals and guidelines to help us gain spiritual protection, gain wisdom and higher states of consciousness. In general Tibet has produced many powerful methods for the growth of our spiritual evolution. Dorje Shugden is an angel, a saint, a powerful spiritual protector-warrior who originated 350 years ago when a highly awakened Tibetan Lama fulfilled his vows to become a special being to grant protection, wisdom, material needs, safety when travelling (normal and astral travel) and spiritual awakening. Both the Great 5th Dalai Lama and the current His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama composed short yet effective prayers to invoke upon the power and blessings of this special saint and protector. One can recite either one of the prayers that you feel suits you, anytime or even daily. When you feel a special need for help, you can recite either prayer anytime. When you are feeling down, afraid or just need a blessing, you can recite them. After reciting either invocation, it is good to chant the mantra of Dorje Shugden: Om Benza Wiki Bitana Soha.
You do not have to be a Buddhist or practitioner of any religion to invoke upon the blessings and protection of this special enlightened and awakened angel Dorje Shugden. He helps all without discrimination or bias as he is filled with compassion and love. Divinity has no boundaries, they help all who call upon them.
Enclosed are the prayers in English, Chinese and Tibetan.
May you be safe, protected and blessed.

Divination (‘mo’) Text by Dorje Shugden
This is an important divination (‘mo’) text composed by Dorje Shugden himself. Dorje Shugden took trance of the Choyang Dulzin oracle lama, the senior oracle of Gaden Shartse Monastery, and instantly on the spot composed this text within two hours.
The divination text contains information on how to use dice to do divination for the future and is known to be highly accurate. When practitioners use this text, they will be in direct contact with Dorje Shugden to get answers to questions about the future. It is for those who have good samaya with Dorje Shugden and are free of the eight worldly dharmas to be of benefit to others in divining the future.

COMPASSION at its best: His Holiness the Dalai Lama explained in Ladakh, 31 July 2018:
“Usually at the beginning of an empowerment there is a ritual to drive away interferences. But I no longer feel it’s consistent to regard some beings as evil forces. At the start of each day I cultivate altruism, but in the evening we say, ‘May the evil forces be driven away.’ There seems to be a contradiction here that I’m no longer keen to comply with. I’m not highly realized, but I have great confidence in the power of Bodhichitta.”

———————————————-
This latest statement by His Holiness the Dalai Lama is excellent. I fully believe in his compassion and I hope he will fully implement it.
All negative beings take rebirth with negative minds due to deep attachments. The attachments result in negative states of rebirth and angry minds that carry out harmful actions, like spirits or hungry ghosts who can be very bothersome because they are very angry as they died in the state of attachment in their former rebirths.
Indeed we need to generate compassion towards these beings, especially the formless type, as it would be the best remedy to stop their harm. We can recite mantras with love and bless them with it. While reciting prayers, we can meditate on them being at peace. When we generate compassion towards these harmful interferences of the formless type, many of them will calm down and stop their harm and even go away. Some of them, you can talk to them and subdue their harm and they will stop harming completely if they feel your love. That is how you can help them.
Many high masters of India and Tibet generated great compassion towards certain ghosts, spirits or interferers and subdued them in this manner and even made them into protectors of regions. I’ve witnessed this with one of my lamas where he subdued a female spirit that crossed over the Himalayas. After making the spirit promise it will not harm others, my lama gave the spirit a drink to seal the promise.
Since the Dalai Lama has manifested saying Dorje Shugden is negative (although many high lamas disagree), then he can apply this method to Dorje Shugden. He can ‘subdue’ Dorje Shugden by generating tremendous love, prayers and talking nice to Dorje Shugden who will be ‘subdued’. Then people are henceforth ‘free’ to practice Dorje Shugden without more discrimination, segregation and being called degrading names for practicing this protector.
Give peace a chance. His Holiness the Dalai Lama can generate great love towards Dorje Shugden and all the hundreds of thousands of Dorje Shugden practitioners that love the Dalai Lama and miss him like I do. May His Holiness the Dalai Lama bring peace and heal the rift with Dorje Shugden practitioners.
May His Holiness live very long and always be healthy,

For the first time available, Dorje Shugden and his entourage of 32 asssistants of his mandala.
Dorje Shugden is a powerful protector deity who is also an emanation of Manjushri, a wisdom bestowing Buddha. Therefore, he has great ability to help us to progress further on the spiritual path. He does this by helping us to overcome obstacles and problems for the modern individual.
Due to his enlightened nature, Dorje Shugden is able to manifest 32 deities and within the same abode resides Setrap and Kache Marpo:-
1. 5 Dorje Shugden families or emanations. They consists of the following:-
– Dulzin Dorje Shugden, which performs activities to eliminate inner and outer obstacles.
– Shize, which performs activities to pacify all illnesses and disease.
– Gyenze, which performs activities to increase all desirable material and spiritual wealth.
– Wangze, which performs activities to control difficult people and circumstances.
– Trakze, which performs activities to wrathfully eliminate all insurmountable obstacles and life-threatening situations.
2. 9 Mothers. They represent protection of the five senses and developing control of the four elements. These are all attributes that signify their ability to assist tantric practitioners with their higher meditations.
3. 8 Guiding Monks. They represent the Eight Great Bodhisattvas (Avalokitesvara, Manjushri, Vajrapani, Samantabhadra, Maitreya, Kshitigarbha, Akashagarbha, Sarva-nivarana-viskambini) and they bring about the growth of the Dharma, through the Sangha, Dharma practitioners and Dharma establishments.
4. 10 Youthful & Wrathful Attendants. They represent the ten wrathful attendants to avert inner and outer obstacles. They are beings who are from Mongolia, China, Kashmir, India, Bengali, etc.
5. Setrap. He is a senior Dharma Protector from India and an emanation of Amitabha Buddha. He had enthroned Dorje Shugden as an authentic Dharma Protector. Therefore, he also resides within the same mandala of Dorje Shugden.
6. Kache Marpo. He is not an emanation of Dorje Shugden but he is still an enlightened Dharma Protector in his own right. He was originally known as Tsiu Marpo of Samye Monastery. However, he has placed himself under the service of Dorje Shugden as his chief minister, performing many activities in order to protect and benefit practitioners. Therefore, he stands guard at the main entrance of Dorje Shugden’s mandala. He often takes trance of qualified mediums to speak.
7. Namkar Barzin. He is the reincarnation of an old Mongolian monk and when he passed away in Phari area of Tibet, his spirit was placed as a powerful assistant of Dorje Shugden. He guards and protects buildings and great institutions especially those that benefit others. He rides on a mythical Gyaling animal that resembles a goat but with scales.
These sacred images are available on *Vajrasecrets. They are made of high quality alloy and are one of a kind. They are based on the lineage of His Holiness Panchen Rinpoche’s monastery, Tashilhunpo in Shigatse, Tibet. In fact, the iconography of these statues are based on detailed photographs taken by H. E. Tsem Rinpoche during a trip to Tashilhunpo’s protector chapel. These are based exactly as the 10th Panchen Lama’s personal collection.

His Holiness the 10th Panchen Lama
Tibetans commonly refer to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and His Holiness 10th Panchen Lama as the “sun and moon” of Tibetan Buddhism. They are the center of Tibetan Buddhist civilization, which draws to its sphere of influence millions of non-Tibetan practitioners. The Panchen Lama’s incarnation line began with the 16th abbot of Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, Lobsang Chokyi Gyeltsen (1570 – 1662). He was bestowed the title of Panchen Lama by His Holiness the 5th Dalai Lama after being declared as an emanation of Amitabha.
After being given the title, his three previous incarnations were posthumously also bestowed the title, making Lobsang Chokyi Gyeltsen the 4th Panchen Lama. He became a teacher to many Tibetans, Bhutanese and Mongolian religious figures, including His Holiness the 4th and 5th Dalai Lamas, and the 1st Jetsun Dampa of Mongolia. A prolific author, Chokyi Gyeltsen is credited with over a hundred compositions, including a number of commentaries and ritual texts that remain central in the Gelukpa tradition today. Along with his role as a teacher of the Dharma, the Panchen Lamas are usually responsible for the recognition of the rebirths of the Dalai Lamas, and vice versa.
The 10th Panchen Lama, Lobsang Trinley Lhundrub Chokyi Gyeltsen (19 February 1938 – 28 January 1989) continued both the spiritual and political roles of his predecessors. His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, his contemporary, was even heard to say and echo the Panchen Lama’s own words that the Dalai Lama would safeguard Tibet from the outside while the Panchen Lama would safeguard Tibet from the inside, as he never left Tibet after the political troubles of 1959. He was truly loved by the Tibetans, all the way until his passing. When he taught, thousands of people would attend, not only from his own Gelug lineage, but masters and practitioners from all traditions of Tibetan Buddhism.
At his sprawling monastery of Tashi Lhunpo, he has a special chapel specifically dedicated to Dorje Shugden, where prayers and rituals are performed on a daily basis. In his great omniscience the Panchen Lama held Dorje Shugden as the principal Dharma protector of the monastery. He also personally propitiated Dorje Shugden among other Dharma protectors, and even wrote extensive prayers and rituals to Dorje Shugden. These rituals and prayers are contained within his ‘sung bum’ or collected works, which are provided here. As such a great lama, with an erudite and clear understanding of the Buddhist scriptures, a teacher to millions in both Tibet and China, from an established incarnation line and an emanation of the Buddha Amitabha, he could not be mistaken about his practice of Dorje Shugden.
His Holiness 10th Panchen Lama is known for his composition of commentaries and practice texts that are still in use by contemporary Buddhist practitioners both in Tibet and across the world. One of these is a powerful ritual composition propitiating the compassionate Dorje Shugden.
Upon the request by Acharya Lobsang Jangchub to compose a shorter version of the prayer (sadhana) for the exhortation of activities of Dorje Shugden, Panchen Lama immediately composed an abbreviate form of Dorje Shugden’s Kangsol. This text is entitled “Manjunatha’s (Tsongkapa) Lineage protector Dorje Shugden and five forms wrathful propitiations and confessional prayers and fulfilment of activities rites” or “Melodious sound of Accomplishment of the Four Activities” for short. Once the prayers were completed, he had signs and strong feelings that Dorje Shugden has been working hard to protect the Buddhadharma in general and the lineage of Lama Tsongkhapa specifically.
Mirroring the abilities of one of his earlier incarnations, Khedrub Je, a disciple of Lama Tsongkhapa and master of both sutra and tantra, the Panchen Lama used his compositional skill and poetic prowess to create a masterful sadhana. Worthy of note is a praise in which the first letter of each verse is a Tibetan vowel. Such compositions are rarely seen, and have historically only been used when propitiating senior Dharma protectors such as Palden Lhamo and Kalarupa.
The Panchen Lama also stated that while composing the Dorje Shugden sadhana (prayers) he was filled with a sense of happiness and bliss. He ends the composition with not only his official title but his ordination name, Tenzin Trinley Jigme Choje Wangchuk, endorsing the validity of his work. He composed the sadhana in his own Tashi Lhunpo monastery while in the Hall of Clear Light and Bliss.

Dear Kecharians and friends,
Last night, I gave a teaching to a group of people who were in Kechara Forest Retreat. I shared with them the correct way to pray for our loved ones and why we shouldn’t “demand” Dorje Shugden with fulfilling our wishes but let Dorje Shugden decide what is the best outcome. He has infinite Manjushri wisdom beyond our own and we should trust this wisdom. Sometimes what we pray for is not what should be fulfilled. Sometimes what we don’t want turns out to be the better result in the future.
I also shared with them about a beautiful monk, Tsawa Pulthok Rinpoche, who was jailed and badly tortured by the soldiers for 19 years, starting back in 1959 in Lhasa, and yet he has no anger towards his torturers. He was released and had resettled in Nepal where I met him. For the remainder of his life, he spent his time in meditation, retreats and pujas for the public until he passed. He was glowing, happy and very proud of the fact he was a student of His Holiness Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche, which he told me when we met. He did full meditations on Vajra Yogini and short puja to Dorje Shugden daily in his small room in Kathmandu, Nepal where I had to honor to join in his prayers. He told me he was very happy to have his room to do his meditations, pujas and prayers openly. Whatever happened to him, he accepted as part of his karma and he spent much time in prison meditating and quietly teaching dharma to his other cellmates. He was very much respected in prison in Lhasa because he never showed anger, always meditated and consoled others, giving them great strength. He endured much hardship, torture and beatings but he never lost his monk vows. His full understanding of karma helped him not feel any anger or bitterness towards the soldiers. He told me that daily, he would meditate that the karma of others in prison would come to him. That all the torture and abuse he received was so others in prison did not have to suffer this. He said suffering for others was what kept him going and made him be able to endure the pain.
We are not bound by our experiences. We are bound by our choice. I also reminded those were present about the good person inside each and every one of us, and how we should not “bury” this good person with our excuses because the more excuses we give, the deeper this good person is buried and soon the layers of excuses will make it very difficult for us to find this good person. We are all beautiful good people and we should not let it get lost by lying, laziness, lack of integrity and procrastination. We all have a choice. If we have to make excuses, we should choose to make excuses to be a winner. When we win, we make ourselves happy and those around us happy.
The teaching session went well and it was spontaneous, and I requested the people who live and work in and around Kechara Forest Retreat for the talk. We had some good laughs to during the talk.
Thank you,
Tsem Rinpoche

“If the Dalai Lama, if His Holiness the Dalai Lama can be harmed by Dorje Shugden, then we might as well not practice Buddhism anymore. If His Holiness the Dalai Lama can have his life shortened by a so-called evil spirit, any evil spirit, then can he be Avalokiteshvara? So on one hand you say, we say, I say, everybody says, he is Avalokiteshvara; on the other hand you’re saying that he can be harmed by an evil spirit… Which one is it? Can he be harmed by an evil spirit or is he Avalokiteshvara? Do you think Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri, Vajrapani, Tara all take refuge in something else to protect themselves from Dorje Shugden? How illogical is that? How illogical of people to say His Holiness the Dalai Lama can be harmed by an evil spirit, any evil spirit or “Dorje Shugden” evil spirit. How is that possible?” – Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

Listening to the chanting of sacred words, melodies, mantras, sutras and prayers has a very powerful healing effect on our outer and inner environments. It clears the chakras, spiritual toxins, the paths where our ‘chi’ travels within our bodies for health as well as for clearing the mind. It is soothing and relaxing but at the same time invigorates us with positive energy. The sacred sounds invite positive beings to inhabit our environment, expels negative beings and brings the sound of growth to the land, animals, water and plants. Sacred chants bless all living beings on our land as well as inanimate objects. Do download and play while in traffic to relax, when you are about to sleep, during meditation, during stress or just anytime. Great to play for animals and children. Share with friends the blessing of a full Dorje Shugden puja performed at Kechara Forest Retreat by our puja department for the benefit of others. Tsem Rinpoche

Antique Pelden Lhamo thangka with sacred Dorje Shugden at the bottom right. Can see Tsongkapa and Guru Rinpoche on the top also. Beautiful and holy.
How can a nun curse someone they do not even know and wish the person to die quickly and be born in hell? What kind of nun is this? Shocking! What more she’s cursing a Buddhist teacher and a monk?! Is this the face of Bhutanese Buddhist?
This is so shameful for her as a nun, her teacher, her monastery, her country and her King. A sangha should not behave in such a manner. A Sangha should carry enlightened Buddha’s teachings of compassion and wisdom to benefit all sentient beings.
A Sangha is not supposed to promote hatred and certainly should not be cursing or wishing another person to die. That wish itself is already breaking one of the vows.
A Sangha is one of the 3 Jewels, an object of refuge. They should not behave like an uncivilized person with so much hate. This is how bad the Tibetan Leadership has spread their lies and hate about Dorje Shugden and Shugden Buddhist practitioners.
