Dalai Lama: Religious Harmony or Hypocrisy?

western_shugden_society@live.com (Western Shugden Society) — 2010-03-20T21:02:44+00:00

The Dalai Lama claims that creating religious harmony is one of the three main goals of his life. He spouts sound-bites and platitudes on the topic wherever he goes. This interview with him reveals that he harbours the sorts of prejudices that make harmony between the major faiths an impossibility. Another example of how he is a hypocrite and unfit to be the face of Buddhism in this world. Watch for yourself.

The Dalai Lama: Front Man for a Feudal Clique, Darling of Wealthy Mystics and Cold Warriors

Historian Webster G. Tarpley presents some uncontested facts about the Dalai Lama as a counter-point to media hype surrounding the Dalai Lama's recent meeting with US President Barack Obama. He refers to the Dalai Lama's feudal rule over Tibet; how just 200 families controlled 93% of the wealth of Tibet; how the "people's uprising" in 1959 failed because the masses did not join the wealthy aristocrats' plots to overthrow the Chinese; how the CIA underwrote the Dalai Lama's activities in exile, including giving him a personal stipend of $185,000 per annum; and how the US tax payer continues to contribute $2 million per year to the Dalai Lama and his associates. He questions why the US is supporting the Dalai Lama's feudalism, a throw-back to the dark ages of medieval Europe. He finds nothing spiritual about the torture and oppression the Dalai Lama inflicted on Tibet - rather than Shangri-La, he thinks of Tibet under the Dalai Lama as 'a hell on earth'.

Tibet Sun newspaper highlights Dalai Lama’s discrimination against Shugden Practitioners

The Tibet Sun newspaper has highlighted the Dalai Lama's discrimination against Shugden practitioners and how he transgresses the Indian laws against Deity discrimination and the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.

The article describes the Dalai Lama's recent public teachings in Bodh Gaya. People of all faiths - christians, hindus, jews - were welcomed... with one notable exception. As the Tibet Sun indicates, Shugden Practitioners are not allowed at the teachings. By publicly discriminating against this one group of people, the Dalai Lama has ostracized them and made them pariahs within their own communities. Encouraged by the Dalai Lama's repeated public attacks on them, the Tibetan government and other Tibetan organisations have denied Shugden practitioners travel documents, access to medicines, places of worship and other basic human rights.

What is the heinous actions these Shugden practitioners have engaged in? Only that they believe in their deity and teachers and do not wish to abandon their faith.

Article 25 of the Indian Constitution, governing 'freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion' demands that 'all persons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practice and propagate religion.'

Being barred from the Dalai Lama's public talks and blessings is just one manifestation of the Dalai Lama's discrimination. For Shugden practitioners the consequence of freely professing, practicing and propagating their faith is that they are excluded from the exile Tibetan society and lose their livelihood. They are shunned by their neighbours and barred from any public office within the exile community.

Article 2 of the United Nations Declaration On The Elimination Of All Forms Of Intolerance And Of Discrimination Based On Religion Or Belief adopted by the General Assembly in 1981 says: 'No one shall be subject to discrimination by any State, institution, group of persons, or person on the grounds of religion or other belief.'

Over a thirty year campaign the Dalai Lama has completely taken away Shugden practitioners' basic human right of religious freedom. He has instigated a systematic discrimination against this group entirely on the grounds of their beliefs.

What is most shocking about this news is how brazen the Dalai Lama has become in enforcing his discrimination. Bodh Gaya is the place of Buddha's enlightenment, a spiritual heart of India - a nation devoted to religious tolerance and harmony. In such a sacred place, in complete defiance of the laws and principles of the land that has sheltered him for six decades, the Dalai Lama continues his crusade to remove Shugden worshippers from the world.

The Western Shugden Society asks the world to take note of the Dalai Lama flagrantly discriminating against one group solely on the basis of their religion.

The Dalai Lama: A Buddhist master or a Showman in Robes?

The Dalai Lama smiles and laughs and his audience smile and laugh with him. He displays the manner of making profound revelations, but is there really any substance to him at all? Is he really a Buddhist master, or is he just a showman in robes?

On the basis of this video we can add spiritual incompetence to the very long list of his other failings. How sad that this man is the most famous Buddhist teacher alive.

Why won’t the Dalai Lama speak out against the War in Iraq?

western_shugden_society@live.com (Western Shugden Society) — 2009-12-26T12:54:52+00:00

Why won't the Dalai Lama condemn the war in Iraq?

The war in Iraq had no popular mandate from any nation and no legal mandate from the international community. Since the invasion there have been several hundred thousand civilian casualities and nearly 5,000 Coalition soldiers have died. If ever there was a war that could be definitively condemned it is this one. But the Dalai Lama won't condemn this war. He says it's too early to tell.

As Colman McCarthy Said: The Dalai Lama 'one more religious leader who is a pacifist between wars, akin to being a vegetarian between meals'.

The Dalai Lama’s Oracles

western_shugden_society@live.com (Western Shugden Society) — 2009-12-26T04:00:38+00:00

What do we learn from this France 24 report?

- The Dalai Lama is telling a 6-year old Indian girl that she is a saint (mainly, it seems, because she wants to see him), and she is telling him Tibet will be free in 2012 and that by 2016 all the exile Tibetans will be back in Tibet!

- 'The Dalai Lama takes no political or spiritual decisions without first consulting his 3 oracles'!

- The State Oracle, Nechung, is predicting that the Dalai Lama will soon teach in China, convert all the Chinese to Buddhism, and that all the Tibetans' problems will be solved. Apparently the Dalai Lama believes all this nonsense.

It all reminds me of Jamyang Norbu's comment regarding similar predictions throughout the 1970s: 'What is mind-boggling in retrospect is the absolute faith of the public and even the Dalai Lama in these predictions that never even came remotely close to being realised.'

If any western political leader conducted their affairs in such a blatantly superstitious and irresponsible way, there is no doubt they would be the laughing stock of the political world.

The Dalai Lama and Shoko Asahara

western_shugden_society@live.com (Western Shugden Society) — 2009-12-25T05:38:27+00:00

The Dalai Lama befriended and endorsed Shoko Asahara and his deadly Aum Cult. Thanks to the Dalai Lama's support Shoko Asahara was able to gain a legitimacy that helped him avoid the scrutiny of the police, and a tax-exempt status that allowed him to plough millions into producing the deadly Sarin gas that he later used on the innocent people of Tokyo. Read all about the Dalai Lama's relationship with Shoko Asahara in Focus Magazine and in the Sydney Morning Herald.

Evidence of the Ban

The Dalai Lama claims to the western media not to have banned the practise of Dorje Shugden but merely suggested people stop practising it. The following videos and documents prove that this is a terrible lie.

Unholy Guarantee

Most likely the half blind guru... would never have been able to build up his cult empire without the Dalai Lama's support. What is certain is that his rapid rise from charlatan and petty criminal to Japanese Uber-Guru in so few years would not have happened nearly so hassle-free.

In total, Asahara and the Dalai Lama met five times, first in February 1987 in India. Thereafter the Tibetan Godking sent him two - now highly embarrassing - recommendation letters....

With these references, in August 1989, the Cult leader gained Charity status from the Tokyo authorities. Asahara had been trying without success to achieve this for years, but with the help of the recommendation letters from His Holiness - who was highly respected in Japan - he accomplished it in only nine weeks. The result: Shoko Asahara no longer needed to pay taxes and could channel all his resources into the production of posion gases.
