His Holiness the Dalai Lama has been kind to deliver his second day teaching at

Varanasi.

14-01-2011

When I engage spiritually with Chinese Dharma friends, I say that we, as junior students,

do pay respect. Likewise, if there are Dholgya (Shugden) worshipers among the public,

please don’t come to [my] empowerment. Whether it is in Tibet, or in exile, or in Himalayan

regions, all the heads of Tibetan has corrected advantage and disadvantage; and found

reasons in my suggestions on top of their own thought. Most are very good, and it is not

necessary for me to speak particularly. Therefore, although it is not necessary always to

speak, some say that the Dalai Lama said nothing about Dholgyal although I met him, and

that perhaps it might be rumors.

I worshiped Gyalpo Shugden. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche and Kyabje Pabhongkha have

worshiped. Under this influence I worshiped too. At the beginning of 1970 I felt ambivalent

towards it. Later when I examined from all angels, this proved to be wrong. I then gave up

the worship. Being thoroughly researched, [I found that] the biography of the fifth Dalai

Lama has written about Gyalpo Shugden. The reason of the ban I imposed on it is that I

found reasons and significant in the course of my examination.

Since I, as an ordinary body of Amdho, got the name of fourteen Dalai Lama, I ought to

follow the steps of my predecessors. It is my responsibility to serve the Rigme teachings of

Tibet. You must fully know the matter. If you, by knowing it, turn back, it is your freedom.

If with one sided information you wonder how the Dalai Lama is, it is not right if I don’t

prove once. Examine the history. Although many monasteries in Tibet have never

worshipped Dholgyal before, they embraced the worship, and result into developments of

misfortune.

Most important, you, who came from Tibet, understood these matters! Meanwhile after I

imposed ban on it, many Tibetans in Tibet followed properly. As a result, all different

monasteries and sects are in harmony and law-abiding, and the monasteries begun to have

harmony with their patrons – many has told me. Therefore all of you here must bear in

mind and be careful.
