Why He Was Not Allowed To Enter The Gate Of Tashi Lhunpo Cave?
Shugden followers assert that he is a Dharma protector who appeared for the sole purpose of protecting Gelug doctrine. He has the blessing and the recommendation of Tsongkapa. If that is true, why was he not allowed to enter the gate of Tashi Lhunpo monastery? Secondly, he speaks through a human medium. He said to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama at Dromo Dhungkar Monastery in 1951 he came directly from the pure land of Lama Tsonkapa. Kyabje Pabongka also wrote it in the Life entrustment ritual that he is the one who comes from the pure land of Je Tsonkapa. If it is so easy for him to go directly to the heavenly abode of Lama Tsonkapa as he pleases, then how come that he could not enter Tashi Lhunpo monastery where there is no restriction …show more content…
They say that Gelukpa can only practise the teaching of Gelukpa School. Doegyal will punish any Gelukpa, who is interested in Nyingma teaching. Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche used to practise Nyingma teaching in the early part of his life. One day, while he was taking the initiation called “Excellent Vase fulfilling wishes” (Doejoe bum sang), he saw a terrifying big red hand sticking in towards him from the window of his residence. It shocked him to such an extent that he immediately stopped showing interest in Nyingma teaching. In Trijang Rinpoche´s “Music Delighting the Ocean of protectors” he wrote, “ whether they were lords of Tibet, great lamas who held the political power of the throne, lamas and tulkus, great or small, with illustrious lines of incarnation, holy beings rich in scriptural and realized qualities, high lords of vast lands and works, those haughty with pride of family lineage, dominion and wealth, any who hypocritically claimed to be followers of Protector Manjusri Tsongkhapa’s Teachings while remaining unsatisfied with Je Lama’s precious Teachings of Sutra and Tantra which, in terms of view, meditation, and action, need not crave more from any other tradition, and, instead, mixed, polluted, or confused them with other modes of view and practice, whether lay or ordained, regardless of status, there have been many who have met with unpleasant wrathful punishments, such as …show more content…
It proves beyond doubt that Shugden is a fierce vengeful spirit. Why target only the famous gelugpa lamas and Officials who practised Nyingma teaching? Why he holds such a strong grudge against Nyingma teaching? Is it directly related to the performance of the extensive Fire ritual in

    "You know, my friend, that even as a young man, when we lived with the ascetics in the forest, I came to distrust doctrines and teachers and to turn my back to them. I am still of the same turn of mind, although I have, since that time, had many teachers. A beautiful courtesan was my teacher for a long time, and a rich merchant and a dice player. On one occasion, one of the Buddha’s wandering monks was my teacher. He halted in his pilgrimage to sit beside me when I fell asleep in the forest. I also learned something from him and I am grateful to him, very grateful. But most of all, I have learned from this river and from my predecessor, Vasudeva. He was a simple man; he was not a thinker, but he realized the essential as well as Gotama, he was a holy man, a saint" (141).…

    Although Buddhism was responded with disapproval by chinese scholars , Emperors such as Emperor Wu also contribute toward the negative responses of Buddhism. Emperor Wu defense of Buddhism reflects the abolishment of Buddhism as it was foreign and destroyed families. (Doc 6) However, Emperor Wu’s implication that Buddhism outshine the imperial palace suggests that he was jealous of Buddhism gaining wealth, converts, and the possibility that Buddhism can outshine his own palace.( Doc 6)…

    The pro-Shugden organized many manifestations against His Holiness the Dalai Lama with the sole purpose of harassing and defaming him. Such attempt will not serve their purpose, no matter how hard they try. It is like banging their heads against a brick wall. They openly show their deep dissatisfaction, venting their feelings of hatred and anger on the streets of the big cities in Europe and USA. They shout at the peak of their voice, “Fake Dalai Lama, we want religious freedom.” They don't care even though their reputation is on the line. So unrealistic and crazy are they that they even don't realise the right and the privilege they enjoy. When they return to their respective centres, they perform the Shugden practise at will. Isn't it a religious freedom? If not, what is it? Their attitudes and behaviours during various demonstrations make the hair stand on end.…

    It was here in Dalhousie India that Tenzin Palmo had her first, first hand experience of gender inequality or here she witnessed the sexiest views present in Buddhism. Women were not given access to the same teachings as monks, nuns where seen as a distraction for the monks path to Enlightenment. It was believed in Buddhism that you could not reach Enlightenment in female form. One of Tenzin Palmo’s main contribution to Buddhism was the increased awareness of gender discrimination present in Buddhism at the time. she established the Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery and through her dharma circuit to raise money for this investment. This nunnery reestablished a lost line of Tibetan Buddhism but also gave Tibetan nuns a place of refuge and sanctuary of equality that allowed the Buddhist nuns to follow there spiritual path. This Buddhist nunnery has allowed Buddhist nuns to access teachings of the Drukpa Kagyu tradition. Tenzin Palmo stated at the “Happiness and its causes” conference in Sydney that her nunnery has been responsible in “raising awareness and self esteem of young nuns as well as educating them to become better practitioners”. Tenzin Palmo was also heavily involved in the congress movement on Buddhist Women’s…

    During his journey with the samanas, he learned to follow many paths that took him away from his self-centered ego. By following and voluntarily suffering through, and eventually overcoming things such as pain, hunger, thirst and fatigue, he was getting closer to what the samanas thought was pure and good. Although he would leave his ego, behind when enduring those scenarios he always came back to his ego, what he and Govinda were working for had only been a lesson in the many teachings and sets of goals they must accomplish to reach the ultimate goal they wanted; redemption (Hesse 14-17).…

    Buddhism is a religion that encompasses a variety of traditions, practicing teachings largely based on those of Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha, meaning ‘the awakened one’. The Buddha lived and taught in the eastern part of India between 6th and 4th centuries BCE. His journey to enlightenment has inspired 300 million people to follow his way of life, thus some Buddhists believe that it is a prerequisite to learn about the Buddha’s life to be a dedicated Buddhist.…

    Gautama Buddha was born in 480 BCE to parents Suddhodana and Maya. His mother Maya gave birth to him in forest and ended up dying. After her death his aunt became his stepmother. He was born and raised a Hindu. His father the king kept him sheltered in the house. His father was told that Gautama had two options in life. He was going to be Sanyasi and leave the world or follow in his dad’s footsteps. When Guatama was older he experienced the four passing sights. He would ask his father permission to go the pleasure gardens. Even time he tried to go to pleasure gardens he would be exposed to part of life that he did not know existed. The four passing sights he saw were an old person, disease, death and ascetic sanyasi. After being open to the real world he left family behind to embark on a journey of enlightenment. He sat by a tree and mediated for thirty-five days becoming the enlightened one. After he became enlightened he officially became the Buddha. What a non-Buddhist can learn from this story is that no matter how much you try to shelter your kids they will always find out about what really goes on in the world. The second lesson would be sheltering your kinds your making them ignorant about their surroundings. The final lesson would be that you cannot change fate. If it is meant to happen it will happen no matter how much you try to change it. Buddha’s dad tried to shelter him to stop him from leaving and he failed. The king was not more powerful than…

    Sutta Nipata 705 quote refers to the equality of all people as it states “Just as I am so are they, just as they are so am I,” This equality therefore assess the harming of other people and self-harming as it states “he should neither kill”. Buddhists must treat other people the same as how they would treat themselves. Therefore, they must not harm others or themselves. Buddhist ethical teachings have a strong and positive impact on the expression of Buddhism as a living religious tradition. This is because it provides solutions to different types of ethical…

    Buddhism is one of the most popular religions in the world. It can be traced back to 563 B.C.E. with the birth of Siddhartha Gautama. He is more commonly known as the Buddha, meaning the “Awakened One”. Buddhism spread quickly throughout Asia and other regions of the world but it remained virtually unknown in the West until the last fifty years. The teachings and practices of Buddhism were spread through three main channels: “Western scholars; the work of philosophers, writers and artists; and the arrival of Asian immigrants who have brought various forms of Buddhism with them to Europe, North America and Australia” (BuddhaNet.net, 2008). My mother, Nguyen Thi Lien Kirk (Lien), and her two close friends, Nhu Lan Nguyen (Lan) and Cuc Pigeon (Cuc), are three examples of immigrants from Vietnam who brought the ideals of Buddhism to the United States following the Vietnam War.…

    The best example of Shi Huangdi’s brutality was the number of people he killed. When taking over the warring states into his own empire, he killed two thirds of the other states population. He had a dream of building a great wall. To build it he needed a constant flow of peasant workers who almost always died building the wall from malnutrition or exposure. Then they simply threw the dead bodies into the wall to use as building material. Also, Shi Huangdi wanted all history to begin with him. Therefore he burned all books having to do with history and literature as well as Confucius’s 9 analects. He gathered up around 460 scholars and made the dig a 15 foot deep hole. The next day they scholars were forced to jump into the hole and then were buried alive. During this event, Shi Huangdi’s oldest son questioned why his father was doing this. Shi Huangdi then sent his own son to northern China. All these things Shi Huangdi did prove how horrible of a ruler he was.…

    Although Sinuhe became a man enshrouded in glory and reward, he still perceived himself to be a fugitive in a foreign land, he wished to return home to Egypt. He wrote to Sesostris, claiming in the letter that a divine presence influenced his actions to flee, arguing that he is not an insurgent and not against the King. Sesotris then replied to Sinuhe in his own letter, rejecting Sinuhe’s explanation of a divine intervention and citing him as solely responsible for his actions “the counsel of your very own heart.” It is evident that the King is criticizing Sinuhe not for his desertion but more so for his thoughtlessness, he seems to empathize with Sinue and understands that he is an administrator and not a warrior, thus it is a reasonable reaction for him to panic and flee for his life. The letters glorify the King’s mercy and compassion, if he wished he could have punished Sinuhe, but instead Sinuhe was forgiven immediately and was granted to return to his homeland, restoring him to his former status.…
