The press and politicians and celebrities seem to think that to show a charismatic smile and utter nice words to please everybody justifies any actions.

Anyway, the victims of the Dalai Lama mostly are Tibetans, but they are not the correct Tibetans, the ones from Shangrila, the dream land of our fathers, they are just Tibetans in exile, nothing interesting.

So it’s ok that the Dalai Lama ostracizes them, puts them to the torment of being hated by their fellow Tibetans, because the he declared in 1996 that their prayers to the Buddha of Wisdom, DorjeShugden, harms the health of the Dalai Lama and the cause of Tibet.

The suffering of these people breaks the heart of decent human beings. Not the hearts of the members of the biggest cult of our times, the cult of the Dalai Lama.
For these people it doesn’t matter the suffering of the Dorje Shugden practitioners. If the Dalai Lama says they are bad, then their suffering is deserved.

So much for the precious values of our Western culture, the respect of human rights, that took us centuries to recognize and establish.

Nowadays, the Dalai Lama is spreading in the Western Dharma Centers the “taking of the oath”, where people swear two things: that they don’t worship Dorje Shugden and they do not have nor are never going to have any relationship with the practitioners.

I have personally seen friends break apart from friends, old students abandon their teachers … only because of the “suggestions” of the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama who dares say that he wants to protect Buddhism.

These are dark times for Dharma and also for just plain truth and human decency. May true Buddhas manifest again among us to teach us great compassion, not niceties that sound pleasant to large audiences.

May all beings be happy and reach true liberation.
