Dorje Shugden practitioners have never told people what political view others should have. Dorje Shugden practitioners do not want to use religion to suppress political view of others.<BR/>Some Dorje Shugden supporters meeting with Chinese officials are their personal decision and it is a personal political right. <BR/><BR/>Dorje Shugden practitioners are working for the Chinese; it is also a political thing. Dorje Shugden practitioners can work for any political parties as the example mentioned above.<BR/><BR/>During the Cultural Revolution, Mao was always declared those who have opposite political thinking a Nationalist Spy and most of them were executed. Dalai Lama is doing the same thing to persecute Dorje Shugden practitioners but not being shot, instead making them suffer for not having shelter, food or work.<BR/><BR/>I am proud of HH Kundaling Rinpoche who is not afraid of being killed by his opponent, to openly speaking out his own political view.<BR/>Politically, I do not see him as pro-Chinese or unity of China but an individual speaking out his political view, hopefully others will do the same, careless whatever an individual pro-Beijing, Taliban, pro-west, pro-Russia, Iran etc. What I want to say is all of us should freely express our political view without fear of being persecuted especially our friends, Tibetan Buddhist in India.<BR/><BR/>In the future there will be more and more Tibetan Dorje Shugden practitioners evaluate between Dalai Lama and his followers, and the Beijing government to see which one gives more benefit to Tibet both politically and religiously.<BR/>Politically, I do not care what Tibetan cause Dalai Lama and his followers are talking about; I just want to have a pure religious place to worship. I do not want to have someone using his political authority to tell me what I should do with my religion. In other words I am not a political fan, but I will defend religious freedom and human rights.<BR/><BR/>Dalai Lama and his followers were, are and will be using political accusations to those not following their religious view. That is what they are capable of doing. As for religion they just want to use it as a tool to group everyone together for political purpose only. Wish all Dorje Shugden practitioners are not going to fall into this political trap. We should always pull their political accusations back into religious discussion.<BR/><BR/>The producers and reporters of France 24 was doing a good job for reporting what Dalai Lama practices at home and what he preaches abroad.<BR/>Hopefully in the near future, producers and reporters of France 24 will go to Tibet and other parts of China to interview former slaves before they pass away, to have the living prove of what the great 13th and 14th had done to Tibet before 1951. If anyone in Western Shugden Society knows France 24 personnel, please ask them to do so. <BR/><BR/>ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2702208051358761238.post-64794019948454349292008-09-18T15:49:00.000-04:002008-09-18T15:49:00.000-04:00Dear Shugdenpa,I spoke to someone who worked in th...Dear Shugdenpa,<BR/><BR/>I spoke to someone who worked in the BBC for 14 years a couple of months ago. He said that he was personally doubtful that we would be able to attract the attention of the documentary makers as he didn't think it would be considered to be of sufficient "public interest." He said that he thought the most likely place where our voice might be heard would be within religious affairs programmes, including those on Radio stations such as Radio 4.<BR/><BR/>I passed on this advice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2702208051358761238.post-52163395098405743432008-09-17T17:00:00.000-04:002008-09-17T17:00:00.000-04:00You may want to read this article which is related...You may want to read this article which is related to your blog:<BR/>http://citybeat.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A146102<BR/>Regards<BR/>Go_H_DiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2702208051358761238.post-51069012876912738492008-09-17T16:57:00.000-04:002008-09-17T16:57:00.000-04:00Thank you to the author of this write-up.Key to al...Thank you to the author of this write-up.<BR/><BR/>Key to all these debates is the presence or absence of evidence.<BR/><BR/>Oft-repeated lies do become a kind of evidence for people without other means of finding out what is true and what is not true - and media are no exceptions to this.<BR/><BR/>What is required is for the large independent companies like BBC - the most respected (still in this internet age) - to do the investigations.<BR/><BR/>Where is the TV producer/director with the persuasive power to get the funds to do this?<BR/><BR/>Are we in the WSS doing anything directly to draw their attention to this now that the demonstrations are temporarily halted?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
