We are fortunate beings to have precious teachers like Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche who purely transmits Kadam Dharma with precisely the exact teachings as passed down from the beloved Dorjechang Trijiang Rinpoche, and the very holy Je Phabongkhapa, Je Tsongkhapa, and Atisha. Thank you Geshe Tashi, you proved that Geshe Kelsang Gyatso has been pure in his intentions, and correct in his transmissions. With heart felt compassion, I pray to the Kadampa deities that all sentient beings will all be happy, be freed from suffering, never be separated from their happiness, and that everyone may have equanimity, free from hatred and attachment. For those dear Dharma practitioners, who have suffered deeply in their hearts from anguish of unholy schism and the attacks against this most holy, most gentle, most kindhearted, and most pure teacher of the New Kadampa Tradition, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, I pray that you can see clearly the light of truth, and with a peaceful, loving, and compassionate heart, pray that all sentient beings will achieve lasting happiness and liberation.
+Gongo Xin Thank you for your homage to GKG. I also believe the NKT people have the right to read Tsongkhapa's own words, not just GKG's interpretation. But more than that they also should be allowed to read from all kind of teachers outside the NKT, not only read but allowed to listen and meet. If the NKT is so right than why don't they check it out with other traditions to really know? Quote: O monks and wise men, just as a goldsmith would test his gold by burning, cutting and rubbing it, so must you examine my words and accept them, not merely out of reverence for me. Buddha
+Peter Terpstra - yes absolutely good to read from many different writers and authors. There is no restriction. But old Tibetan scriptures only say to follow one spiritual guide (show devotion to your Guru). I read and enjoy many texts from different authors and scholars for the purpose of study and knowledge. I do not attack their writing simply because someone else has decided for political reasons. But we are taught everyone is our teacher. Everything is a Dharma lesson, even those than criticize are precious teachers, because they remind us of the suffering of Samsara, and lead us towards renunciation. Thank you for this.
+Gongo Xin I don't believe that Buddha said that everyone is our teacher, because we have to find transcendental insight first before we can see in which way everyone is our teacher. So we first need to be able to recognize our root teacher, which is not an easy task in the world so full of confusion. But what will people think if they see those loud and obnoxious demonstrations against HH the Dalai Lama? People will do research and will find lots of information about the disinformation by the NKT and how this benefits China's political aims. Shugden has been political from the very beginning and has showed lots of sectarian violence in the past, till today. The Tibetans that are involved with the NKT are open about there contacts with the Chinese government and get freedom and money in return from China. There are no scholars supporting the claims of the NKT or Tsem Tulku. Also HRW and Amnesty international have found zero evidence of the NKT claims. Only China confirms. I would like to advise you to do thoroughly unbiased research, you could start with the ex-NKT or "NKT survivors" people, found all over internet. What would Buddha say if he heard about the NKT or Tsem Tulku? Maybe nothing, because we all have are own responsibility. May you find peace, happiness and liberation!
+Peter, Dalai Lama's ban against Protector Shugdan is wrong. Done for political reasons to unite the main Tibetan schools. Preparations for when the Dalai Lama dies, in order to preserve continuity. Diminishing the Gelugpa school Protector helps unify the other schools. May the Dalai Lama live for countless eons, and I pray for unity. This should'nt be done by discrediting the NKT simply because they maintain the teachings of their precious Gurus, such as Song Rinpoche, Lama Yeshe, Trijiang Rinpoche, and Pabongkha Rinpoche. China government has kidnapped the Panchen Lama, and hijacked the process of selecting the next Dalai Lama. A horrible political mess. Sichuan Sangha self immolate committing suicide to protest against their religious persecutors, the China government. Heartbreaking many monks,nuns lost their lives. In West, NKT protestors are loud but peaceful. Do you prefer self immolation? Call Mohamed or Virgin Mary an evil spirit, won't be so peaceful. STOP please.
+Gongo Xin If you respect His Holiness the Dalai Lama than please read what he has said, this is very different than the NKT claim. Please try to find any source outside the NKT information that would confirm this ban! Many scholars have written on this issue non of therm have confirmed the NKT claim of the ban or HR abuses.| HH has no power to enforce any kind of ban and as no wish to do so either. If yo are concerned about Tibet than investigate how China uses DS to create division among the Tibetan people. Please investigate, investigate and investigate with reliable information! Does the NKT or Tsem Tulku give you reliable information??? (that is the main point i think) May you be well!

There is a Buddhist prophecy that teaches that the Kali age will only be overcome when the teaching of tantra is widely taught. I'm sorry to say, but only Geshe La is doing it systematically in the West. In my language, Portuguese, only the books of Geshe There speak of the Tantra of Heruka and Vajrayogini. We should not criticize so much who is working. Geshe La has the compassion to share the Dharma. I would have much trouble reading everything in English. In this text I am using translator. It makes it different from other Lamas who only teach the smaller vehicles. I am very sad for all this war, because this has nothing to do with Buddhism.
I have had only beautifull teachings, happiness and inspiration from Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. He has inspired me and encouraged me to try and be like him. I can feel his inspiration as I write this. I can see him smiling now!🙏He always smiled when I saw him, on screen or in person. The word “distort” is the last word I would use while mentioning Geshe La. Thankyou Geshe La😊
That's the problem: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. There never was a ban on Shugden propitiation by His Holiness. The spirit Shugden is not an enlightened being, just a vicious sectarian entity and not a dharma protector. Kelsang Gyatso is a false teacher and the founder of a mind controlling cult which includes fake ordinations and abuse of followers. There are these fake "masters" sleeping with the "nuns" and claiming they're giving them "tantric" empowerments. NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
@@Master_Blackthorne You guys never find anything against Geshela so you have to blame him for others mistakes.The people who do those irresponsable things some do it becouse of pride others becouse of attachment etc. in every community there are people like that.Its sad but is true.
@@juaneter8362 The same Shugden that his root guru and ‘secondary’ guru propitiated. The same Shugden that the Dalai Lama himself sought counsel and extolled in his writings. And suddenly??? Think and stop blindly following the dictates of others no matter how elevated they are. Case in point: the Pope has canonical authority over Catholics; will they all disavow the Virgin Mary if one day he so orders? No. In the same way all monks and Buddhist practitioners are not sold on Shugden’s vilification.
There is a really Great Book out now about this Cult, with ( Many Survivors Testimony's ) Called: 'Polluting Buddhism' The politics, envy, and greed of Kelsang Gyatso and NKT (Lies have consequences) By Thomas N. Tiedt (Search)
I just find it sad this critizising, I have been to kadampas and they are beautiful, I do not think that they are all involved whether dorje shugden is this or that, just be better human beings and that is what we are trying to be, this is just waste of time, as if starting a war ,are we not fed up with that???

Dear Geshe Tashi, I just want to say a few points on this talk. I don't know about Tibetan debate but personality bashing isn't the most conducive form for me personally. It is good to talk and analyse and have a spirit of truth seeking? On that note. 1 How can GKG steal the term 'New Kadampa Tradition' from Je Tsongkhapa when he himself explains that that is the term Je Tsongkhapa used, and as you say he is a follower and purported upholder of that tradition. Would it not have been weird to have used a different name for the tradition he came from? 2 Kadampas span many generations and through that time span there is a different emphasis on dharma protectors, so great masters like Trijang practised Dorje Shugdan. This is obviously why he emphasised the function rather than the form. 3 It doesn't take much detective work that the same author, in the same book, says wisdom dharma protector and then later on tells us who that wisdom dharma protector is by means of a drawing. 4 Going back to the old kadampas does not negate the new kadampas such as Trijang who practised Dorje Shugdan, therefore it is not 'pure distortion', but we can say and as is seen in the events today, at least open to debate. 5 You say Dorje Shugdan is an evil/harmful spirit. Yet the Dalai Lama practised his sadhana for round about 20 years. WOW! He's not a very effective harmful spirit. In my encounters with many many people and personal experience one can recognise an evil spirit instantly. Not only that, the Dalai Lama's life has flourished, he's lived a healthy long life. Possibly the most ineffective evil of all time? All the people I've met who worship this 'evil spirit' are kind and loving. The evidence suggests that people have been told he's a harmful spirit and they simply believe what they are told. But I put it to you, if the Dalai Lama couldn't recognise after many years that he was worshipping evil how wise is he? He had to read a book that told him Shugdan was harmful. Personally, like Buddha advised I'm listening to my own experience and my experience is GKG is a being with a very very very loving heart. How can someone who worships evil be more loving than the majority of the people on the planet? 6 'If he has guts he should say Shugdan' this made me laugh GKG is one of the very few people who have stood up to the autocratic voice of the Dalai Lama, he is now famous for his stance on Shugdan. That is just a personal cheap shot that has no basis in truth at all. As I say he refers to the dharma protector as Shugdan later on in the same book, even a child could figure out who he is saying is the dharma protector. 7 When he is talking about the Tibetan tradition degenerated he is talking in general. Comparing the golden age of Marpa, Milarepa, Gampopa and the later beautiful flourishing of Je Tsongkhapa with the overall practice of a nation. He's not talking about the realised yogis and the pure lineages that still survive. He's talking about people attaining degrees in philosophy and attaining awards like Geshe but still having an ego. Very simple. 8 If he is a realised being, and he gives ordination then necessarily it is pure. Rather like Je Tsongkhapa he is keeping the elements that work and presenting his unique interpretation. Just like Je Tsongkhapa did with the 6 yogas of Naropa. Tsongkhapa was very critical of the traditions of the time, he picked the best bits and presented the teachings his way, and created a brand new tradition who practised according to how right he thought he was, the gelugpas. 9 Je Tsongkhapa himself referred to his own work. I'm guessing he didn't have an editorial team at the time? So when, just like Tsongkhapa says 'I have written about this extensively elsewhere' the editorial team puts in the name of their lamrim text. 10 saying 'this is the kind of man he is' is just a futile personal attack that is not true. GKG from my experience makes no personal claim to his work but entirely praises Tsongkhapa for their elucidations. But, and I'm hoping you will know this, one has to experience the presence of someone without an ego to understand the true humility of it. 11 I agree just approaching the teachings from one source is not a good idea. Tsongkhapa used every tradition and Marpa made the 6 yogas from his 3 different gurus. Going directly to Tsongkhapa's words is a good idea. But some translations are not so good, although these days it is easy to find good ones.
And also, if the Dalai Lama is the same mental continuum of Avalokiteshvara, how could he have been threatened of harmed by an evil spirit like Shugden? Otherwise he is not a true dalai lama
Achala, which is Miyowa, is a wisdom Dharma protector and so is Dorje Shugden (a wrathful wisdom protector who is the same nature as Manjushri) so actually there is no mistake. There is no problem to refer to Dorje Shugden as the 'Wisdom Dharma Protector' in the four Kadampa Deities as both he and Achala perform the same function. Dorje Shugden is, however, more appropriate for modern Kadampa practitioners so there is no error. A similar thing happened as Kalarupa was originally the main Dharma Protector of Je Tsongkhapa's tradition, but later it was felt by high Lamas that Dorje Shugden now held that position. Again, there is no problem because both Kalarupa and Dorje Shugden have the same nature.
You are a Geshe? I don't understand why you are looking so carefully to find faults. If you look for faults you can always find them. Perhaps you would be better served teaching Pure Lam Rim alone and posting that online rather than posting something that may interfere with peoples faith? Shame. Maybe this kind of political ordinary samsaric activity is why the Wheel of Dharma left Tibet and is now flourishing in the West ?

@@Christina-ku3nh BE WARNED - There are indeed disgruntled people who did not have a good time in the NKT who spend a lot of time trying to convince other people online (which ironically is much stranger and dangerous behaviour than anything the NKT supposedly does!) as someone who has been a member of the NKT for over 25 years, in other words someone with actual experience I would simply say, go along to your local centre with an open mind and judge for yourself. Ask questions. Make your own mind up using a wise rational, well reasoned observance. As they say - 'Empty vessels make the most noise' - Only reading some nonsense online is hardly a balanced view upon which to make a conclusion
@@Karen-fl5xe Thanks Karen - How many years were you with the NKT, Who were your teachers. In what ways is the NKT rubbish? Would love to hear about your time served insightful comments on what you think needed to be improved upon
woah woah woah back up the truck! This is politics, Buddhist politics(and something it should be ashamed of). I am greatly sorry but no one has the right to tell someone in the West(not Tibet, not India) what tradition they will choose to follow. We have a little thing called religious freedom here. Smearing a Buddhist teacher is never a good policy, especially when it is because of politics. His Holiness has every right to run the politics in Tibet or India as he sees fit, but not here in the West. But unless i am mistaken he is the leader of every Buddhist in the world. I have never felt one moment of anger or disrespect towards HHDL, and i have been an NKT practitioner for 30 years. Before it actually was called NKT. But DS practitioners in India beseeched Kelsang Gyatso to intervene on their behalf because of religious persecution that was going on in India. All this Geshela Kelsang is not a true certified Buddhist teacher, his minions will latch onto your soul garbage is just that...garbage. All this hoohaw about DS being an earthly harmful spirit is just politics people, HH wanted to centralize all the Buddhist schools, and Yellow Hat DS "worshipers" would not let go of their beliefs. Those of you from the west that have no understanding of what "worship" means in Buddhism should get a clue because prostration and worship in Buddhism are part of the path to selflessness. For countless lives we have proven over and over again that self grasping fails us to reach the goal of true happiness, so we must learn to defeat self grasping and gain no self...this is worship Buddhist style. Buddha is not some God we pray to, he was a human being like all the rest of us, that attained full enlightenment...he is not a God as Westerners would see it. But for us to attain selflessness(and then full enlightenment) we need to first defeat the idea of our deluded idea of self. I sat in a living room floor in Dallas and heard Kelsang Gyatso say, pure Buddhism is dying in Tibet, my heart teachers told me to bring it to the West so that these "pure" lineage teachings may survive. That is all that Kelsang Gyatso is trying to do(in this respect) because in Buddhism it is critical to trace the exact lineage of the teachings that are handed down from teacher to pupil and so Gesehla maintains this pure lineage as he was taught and he expects that his students will also maintain it...end of story. No one in NKT will demand that you never read any other teachings, but they will caution you against muddying the water of what you are being taught. A little Buddhism from this and that..and you have no Buddhism. If HH had been open about what was going on in India when people were literally being hunted down and killed for continuing their lineage teachings of DS and acknowledged that some wrongs were being done and rectified it then...none of this would be going on at all. But he didn't he ignored the whole issue and that spun up into a protest against religious persecution, no one believes HH is some scheming monster, but people under him have seen fit to inact his political policy with extreme force, which has caused more protest, which has caused all this smear campaign against Kelsang Gyatso. A small mountain of compassion of a man, who keeps berating his followers that they are wasting time they should be practicing/learning the only medicine that can cure us of suffering, instead of protesting. This crap about Geshela being a puppet of China... please people look at how China twists the truth to suit their ends at every turn, no one in NKT has anything but compassion for the delusions that drive the idiocy that is China's politics. I would end this statement with a little Buddhist teaching about the mother's young son that goes off to the monastery to become a monk. He learns after some time that his home area is suffering a terrible drought and that many are starving to death there. He runs home to find his old mother looking healthy, and asks her how she has survived. She replies that a traveling monk taught her a mantra to turn stones into potatoes and that she has survived on them. The son says oh wonderful let me hear the mantra, the mother repeats it for the son and he frowns. Mother you are saying it wrong, it should be said like this. She learns the new way of saying it and her son goes back to the monastery. His mother dies of starvation because the new correct way of saying the mantra does not work for her.
Don't get yourself into serious debt because of the NKT Cult. Whether Monetary, Savings, Loans, Credit Cards, Finance or Underwriting. You're being deliberately taken advantage of and scammed.
…it’s very sad watching this…rather than finding faults how about promoting and bringing Dharma into the lives of everyone…like them or hate them the NKT has been the only Buddhist group to bring Dharma mainstream and try and give access to everyone…the book he’s quoting is even free for anyone to download…I have had nothing but positive experiences with the NKT and they have enabled me to transform my life for the better and make Dharma part of my life…no other Buddhist group in the UK has put in as much effort to bring Buddhist teachings into society…

What about the distortion you people have done in india and tibet in monasteries? Isn't it that a distortion to see fault on your own root gurus..like Trijang, Ling, Phabonkha, Shong Rinpoches? Shame! What about the separation you people have done to great spiritual gurus and students? What about the distortion of Buddhism you have done in the name of a deity? What about the distortion in family and friends? You people have given away tibet to china.. what about that distortion.. You people are disgrace in the name of buddhism in the eye of the world. Hope you will realise soon. By the way people don't have the time to listen to your 15 minutes long propaganda. The first word only made us feel enough. At least be a good monk.
"Miyowa' ( Tibetan ) refers to Acala Vidya Raja ( Sanskrit ). In Japanese he is known as Myo-o. Acala Vidya Raja has nothing whatever to do with Shugden. The Japanese Buddhists have had Acala for over one thousand years. They never heard of Shugden. It is that simple. We have practice texts for Acala in the Tibetan and Tibetan traditions. I have several Acala initiations. Kelsang Gyatso clearly got this all wrong. Lama Tsongkhapa never heard of Shugden. The word is out. New Kadampa "tradition" is finished.
Thank you, Geshe Tashi, for your explanation! Geshe Kelsang Gyatso encourages his followers to reason and follow what makes sense to them. He never encouraged people to blindly follow him, so it is good that other people can explane Je Tsongkhapa's teachings. Thanks for making us think, bringing the texts of Je Tsongkhapa, but the details of the explanation about Dorje Shugden are in another book. In his book "Heart Jewel" Geshe Kelsang explains the origin of Dorje Shugden, who was an emanation of Je Tsongkhapa and Manjushri. Shugden came after Je Tsongkhapa's death, so it does not appear in ancient texts. Also, the dharma protector changes from time to time according to the practitioners' karma. In our time, the protector is Dorje Shugden, who was not the protector at the time of Je Tsogkhapa, 900 years ago.

I would like to ask the Geshe if Kelsang Gyatso is the only teacher to recognise Wisdom Dharma Protector, or do other teachers say this as well? I don't believe that Kelsang Gyatso ever said that Tibetan Buddhism is completely degenerate. But Buddha himself said that in the future Buddhism itself would degenerate until one day it would disappear from this World. Therefore we do have to be careful what we believe.
Thank you geshe la for clarification this NKT sects are very dangerous and not Representing the true shugden practitioner they demolize us they made the situation worst we the shugden practitioners we do not follow in anyway geshe kelsang sectarian views and fully respect the dalaï lama

Thank you, Geshe Tashi. Having recently started attending a NK centre I really appreciated your videos. Could you recommend any original texts? Many thanks.
This kind of monk are to be avoid.. they have a great ability to bring controversy whatever their eye got on.. that's why tibet is lost. Monasteries not in peaceful. People of tibet in problems.
When I was there, they clearly stated that the teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa were the New Kadampa teachings. Not different from Atisha, but just re-establishing that which degenerated. And I never heard anyone say that Shugden was anything but an emanation of Manjushri, the wisdom Buddha. I never followed the Shugden practice. There is no need and no requirement to do so. All the teachers he states here were mentioned and quoted. Not sure why he is having an issue.
calling others stupid won't make me any wiser - how is anyone to ever know what realizations others might have or not? I can only speak of my own or the lack of them, may you have every happiness and all its sources, may you be free from all sufferings and their sources, _/\_ (my hands clasped together in Namaste/gassho/wai towards you)
Something outsiders of the NKT doesn’t know is that Kelsang Gyatso see’s himself as the reincarnation of Je Tsongkhapa. He came back to correct the Dharma that has been corrupted by the Tibetans and revive the pure tradition. That’s something every teachers in the NKT is deeply convinced of. The guy is completely delusional. Probably gone mad from worshipping Shugden.
Can you please show even one time he claimed he is the reincarnation of Je Tsongkhapa.And also If the guy is delusional and crazy from worshipping Shugden that means all his teachers were crazy.Just words are not enough my friend.

There is a Buddhist prophecy that teaches that the Kali age will only be overcome when the teaching of tantra is widely taught. I'm sorry to say, but only Geshe La is doing it systematically in the West. In my language, Portuguese, only the books of Geshe There speak of the Tantra of Heruka and Vajrayogini. We should not criticize so much who is working. Geshe La has the compassion to share the Dharma. I would have much trouble reading everything in English. In this text I am using translator. It makes it different from other Lamas who only teach the smaller vehicles. I am very sad for all this war, because this has nothing to do with Buddhism.
I have had only beautifull teachings, happiness and inspiration from Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. He has inspired me and encouraged me to try and be like him. I can feel his inspiration as I write this. I can see him smiling now!🙏He always smiled when I saw him, on screen or in person. The word “distort” is the last word I would use while mentioning Geshe La. Thankyou Geshe La😊
I don’t undestant why shugden is harmful ? I think the ban from Dalai Lama make much more suffering than dorge shugden
That's the problem: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. There never was a ban on Shugden propitiation by His Holiness. The spirit Shugden is not an enlightened being, just a vicious sectarian entity and not a dharma protector. Kelsang Gyatso is a false teacher and the founder of a mind controlling cult which includes fake ordinations and abuse of followers. There are these fake "masters" sleeping with the "nuns" and claiming they're giving them "tantric" empowerments.
NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
@@Master_Blackthorne You guys never find anything against Geshela so you have to blame him for others mistakes.The people who do those irresponsable things some do it becouse of pride others becouse of attachment etc. in every community there are people like that.Its sad but is true.
@@juaneter8362 The same Shugden that his root guru and ‘secondary’ guru propitiated. The same Shugden that the Dalai Lama himself sought counsel and extolled in his writings. And suddenly???
Think and stop blindly following the dictates of others no matter how elevated they are. Case in point: the Pope has canonical authority over Catholics; will they all disavow the Virgin Mary if one day he so orders? No. In the same way all monks and Buddhist practitioners are not sold on Shugden’s vilification.

I just find it sad this critizising, I have been to kadampas and they are beautiful, I do not think that they are all involved whether dorje shugden is this or that, just be better human beings and that is what we are trying to be, this is just waste of time, as if starting a war ,are we not fed up with that???

Dear Geshe Tashi, I just want to say a
few points on this talk. I don't know about Tibetan debate but
personality bashing isn't the most conducive form for me personally.
It is good to talk and analyse and have a spirit of truth seeking? On
that note.
1 How can GKG steal the term 'New
Kadampa Tradition' from Je Tsongkhapa when he himself explains that
that is the term Je Tsongkhapa used, and as you say he is a follower
and purported upholder of that tradition. Would it not have been
weird to have used a different name for the tradition he came from?
2 Kadampas span many generations and
through that time span there is a different emphasis on dharma
protectors, so great masters like Trijang practised Dorje Shugdan.
This is obviously why he emphasised the function rather than the
form.
3 It doesn't take much detective work
that the same author, in the same book, says wisdom dharma protector
and then later on tells us who that wisdom dharma protector is by
means of a drawing.
4 Going back to the old kadampas does
not negate the new kadampas such as Trijang who practised Dorje
Shugdan, therefore it is not 'pure distortion', but we can say and as
is seen in the events today, at least open to debate.
5 You say Dorje Shugdan is an
evil/harmful spirit. Yet the Dalai Lama practised his sadhana for
round about 20 years. WOW! He's not a very effective harmful spirit.
In my encounters with many many people and personal experience one
can recognise an evil spirit instantly. Not only that, the Dalai
Lama's life has flourished, he's lived a healthy long life. Possibly
the most ineffective evil of all time? All the people I've met who
worship this 'evil spirit' are kind and loving. The evidence suggests
that people have been told he's a harmful spirit and they simply
believe what they are told. But I put it to you, if the Dalai Lama
couldn't recognise after many years that he was worshipping evil how
wise is he? He had to read a book that told him Shugdan was harmful.
Personally, like Buddha advised I'm listening to my own experience
and my experience is GKG is a being with a very very very loving
heart. How can someone who worships evil be more loving than the
majority of the people on the planet?
6 'If he has guts he should say
Shugdan' this made me laugh GKG is one of the very few people who
have stood up to the autocratic voice of the Dalai Lama, he is now
famous for his stance on Shugdan. That is just a personal cheap shot
that has no basis in truth at all. As I say he refers to the dharma
protector as Shugdan later on in the same book, even a child could
figure out who he is saying is the dharma protector.
7 When he is talking about the Tibetan
tradition degenerated he is talking in general. Comparing the golden
age of Marpa, Milarepa, Gampopa and the later beautiful flourishing
of Je Tsongkhapa with the overall practice of a nation. He's not
talking about the realised yogis and the pure lineages that still
survive. He's talking about people attaining degrees in philosophy
and attaining awards like Geshe but still having an ego. Very simple.
8 If he is a realised being, and he
gives ordination then necessarily it is pure. Rather like Je
Tsongkhapa he is keeping the elements that work and presenting his
unique interpretation. Just like Je Tsongkhapa did with the 6 yogas
of Naropa. Tsongkhapa was very critical of the traditions of the
time, he picked the best bits and presented the teachings his way,
and created a brand new tradition who practised according to how
right he thought he was, the gelugpas.
9 Je Tsongkhapa himself referred to his
own work. I'm guessing he didn't have an editorial team at the time?
So when, just like Tsongkhapa says 'I have written about this
extensively elsewhere' the editorial team puts in the name of their
lamrim text.
10 saying 'this is the kind of man he
is' is just a futile personal attack that is not true. GKG from my
experience makes no personal claim to his work but entirely praises
Tsongkhapa for their elucidations. But, and I'm hoping you will know
this, one has to experience the presence of someone without an ego to
understand the true humility of it.
11 I agree just approaching the
teachings from one source is not a good idea. Tsongkhapa used every
tradition and Marpa made the 6 yogas from his 3 different gurus.
Going directly to Tsongkhapa's words is a good idea. But some
translations are not so good, although these days it is easy to find
good ones.
And also, if the Dalai Lama is the same mental continuum of Avalokiteshvara, how could he have been threatened of harmed by an evil spirit like Shugden? Otherwise he is not a true dalai lama
Achala, which is Miyowa, is a wisdom Dharma protector and so is Dorje Shugden (a wrathful wisdom protector who is the same nature as Manjushri) so actually there is no mistake. There is no problem to refer to Dorje Shugden as the 'Wisdom Dharma Protector' in the four Kadampa Deities as both he and Achala perform the same function. Dorje Shugden is, however, more appropriate for modern Kadampa practitioners so there is no error. A similar thing happened as Kalarupa was originally the main Dharma Protector of Je Tsongkhapa's tradition, but later it was felt by high Lamas that Dorje Shugden now held that position. Again, there is no problem because both Kalarupa and Dorje Shugden have the same nature.

You are a Geshe? I don't understand why you are looking so carefully to find faults. If you look for faults you can always find them. Perhaps you would be better served teaching Pure Lam Rim alone and posting that online rather than posting something that may interfere with peoples faith? Shame. Maybe this kind of political ordinary samsaric activity is why the Wheel of Dharma left Tibet and is now flourishing in the West ?

@@jopar3292 Nkt is RUBBISH.
@@Karen-fl5xe Thanks Karen - How many years were you with the NKT, Who were your teachers. In what ways is the NKT rubbish? Would love to hear about your time served insightful comments on what you think needed to be improved upon
woah woah woah back up the truck! This is politics, Buddhist politics(and something it should be ashamed of). I am greatly sorry but no one has the right to tell someone in the West(not Tibet, not India) what tradition they will choose to follow. We have a little thing called religious freedom here. Smearing a Buddhist teacher is never a good policy, especially when it is because of politics. His Holiness has every right to run the politics in Tibet or India as he sees fit, but not here in the West. But unless i am mistaken he is the leader of every Buddhist in the world. I have never felt one moment of anger or disrespect towards HHDL, and i have been an NKT practitioner for 30 years. Before it actually was called NKT.
But DS practitioners in India beseeched Kelsang Gyatso to intervene on their behalf because of religious persecution that was going on in India. All this Geshela Kelsang is not a true certified Buddhist teacher, his minions will latch onto your soul garbage is just that...garbage. All this hoohaw about DS being an earthly harmful spirit is just politics people, HH wanted to centralize all the Buddhist schools, and Yellow Hat DS "worshipers" would not let go of their beliefs. Those of you from the west that have no understanding of what "worship" means in Buddhism should get a clue because prostration and worship in Buddhism are part of the path to selflessness. For countless lives we have proven over and over again that self grasping fails us to reach the goal of true happiness, so we must learn to defeat self grasping and gain no self...this is worship Buddhist style. Buddha is not some God we pray to, he was a human being like all the rest of us, that attained full enlightenment...he is not a God as Westerners would see it. But for us to attain selflessness(and then full enlightenment) we need to first defeat the idea of our deluded idea of self.
I sat in a living room floor in Dallas and heard Kelsang Gyatso say, pure Buddhism is dying in Tibet, my heart teachers told me to bring it to the West so that these "pure" lineage teachings may survive. That is all that Kelsang Gyatso is trying to do(in this respect) because in Buddhism it is critical to trace the exact lineage of the teachings that are handed down from teacher to pupil and so Gesehla maintains this pure lineage as he was taught and he expects that his students will also maintain it...end of story.
No one in NKT will demand that you never read any other teachings, but they will caution you against muddying the water of what you are being taught. A little Buddhism from this and that..and you have no Buddhism.
If HH had been open about what was going on in India when people were literally being hunted down and killed for continuing their lineage teachings of DS and acknowledged that some wrongs were being done and rectified it then...none of this would be going on at all. But he didn't he ignored the whole issue and that spun up into a protest against religious persecution, no one believes HH is some scheming monster, but people under him have seen fit to inact his political policy with extreme force, which has caused more protest, which has caused all this smear campaign against Kelsang Gyatso. A small mountain of compassion of a man, who keeps berating his followers that they are wasting time they should be practicing/learning the only medicine that can cure us of suffering, instead of protesting. This crap about Geshela being a puppet of China... please people look at how China twists the truth to suit their ends at every turn, no one in NKT has anything but compassion for the delusions that drive the idiocy that is China's politics. I would end this statement with a little Buddhist teaching about the mother's young son that goes off to the monastery to become a monk. He learns after some time that his home area is suffering a terrible drought and that many are starving to death there. He runs home to find his old mother looking healthy, and asks her how she has survived. She replies that a traveling monk taught her a mantra to turn stones into potatoes and that she has survived on them. The son says oh wonderful let me hear the mantra, the mother repeats it for the son and he frowns. Mother you are saying it wrong, it should be said like this. She learns the new way of saying it and her son goes back to the monastery. His mother dies of starvation because the new correct way of saying the mantra does not work for her.
Nothing but rambling claptrap from a cultist.

Interesting. Did Trijang Rinpoche do Shugden practice?
…it’s very sad watching this…rather than finding faults how about promoting and bringing Dharma into the lives of everyone…like them or hate them the NKT has been the only Buddhist group to bring Dharma mainstream and try and give access to everyone…the book he’s quoting is even free for anyone to download…I have had nothing but positive experiences with the NKT and they have enabled me to transform my life for the better and make Dharma part of my life…no other Buddhist group in the UK has put in as much effort to bring Buddhist teachings into society…

What about the distortion you people have done in india and tibet in monasteries?
Isn't it that a distortion to see fault on your own root gurus..like Trijang, Ling, Phabonkha, Shong Rinpoches? Shame!
What about the separation you people have done to great spiritual gurus and students?
What about the distortion of Buddhism you have done in the name of a deity?
What about the distortion in family and friends?
You people have given away tibet to china.. what about that distortion..
You people are disgrace in the name of buddhism in the eye of the world. Hope you will realise soon.
By the way people don't have the time to listen to your 15 minutes long propaganda. The first word only made us feel enough. At least be a good monk.
Thank you for writing all this against NKT. Of course they have no answer but only lies that CCP taught them.
"Miyowa' ( Tibetan ) refers to Acala Vidya Raja ( Sanskrit ).
In Japanese he is known as Myo-o.
Acala Vidya Raja has nothing whatever to do with Shugden.
The Japanese Buddhists have had Acala for over one thousand years. They never heard of Shugden.
It is that simple.
We have practice texts for Acala in the Tibetan and Tibetan traditions. I have several Acala initiations.
Kelsang Gyatso clearly got this all wrong.
Lama Tsongkhapa never heard of Shugden.
The word is out. New Kadampa "tradition" is finished.
"The word is out. New Kadampa "tradition" is finished.
"
Right. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Thank you, Geshe Tashi, for your explanation! Geshe Kelsang Gyatso encourages his followers to reason and follow what makes sense to them. He never encouraged people to blindly follow him, so it is good that other people can explane Je Tsongkhapa's teachings.
Thanks for making us think, bringing the texts of Je Tsongkhapa, but the details of the explanation about Dorje Shugden are in another book. In his book "Heart Jewel" Geshe Kelsang explains the origin of Dorje Shugden, who was an emanation of Je Tsongkhapa and Manjushri.
Shugden came after Je Tsongkhapa's death, so it does not appear in ancient texts.
Also, the dharma protector changes from time to time according to the practitioners' karma.
In our time, the protector is Dorje Shugden, who was not the protector at the time of Je Tsogkhapa, 900 years ago.

Don't Go To This NKT Cult.
Kelsang Gyatso Expelled Monk, Fake Geshe, Fraudster & Conman.
I would like to ask the Geshe if Kelsang Gyatso is the only teacher to recognise Wisdom Dharma Protector, or do other teachers say this as well? I don't believe that Kelsang Gyatso ever said that Tibetan Buddhism is completely degenerate. But Buddha himself said that in the future Buddhism itself would degenerate until one day it would disappear from this World. Therefore we do have to be careful what we believe.

Thank you so much dear Geshe la for this insightful explanation.
Thank you, Geshe Tashi. Having recently started attending a NK centre I really appreciated your videos. Could you recommend any original texts? Many thanks.
This kind of monk are to be avoid.. they have a great ability to bring controversy whatever their eye got on.. that's why tibet is lost. Monasteries not in peaceful. People of tibet in problems.
As their robes not legitimate , perhaps we should call them The New Pyjamas Tradition
When I was there, they clearly stated that the teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa were the New Kadampa teachings. Not different from Atisha, but just re-establishing that which degenerated. And I never heard anyone say that Shugden was anything but an emanation of Manjushri, the wisdom Buddha. I never followed the Shugden practice. There is no need and no requirement to do so. All the teachers he states here were mentioned and quoted. Not sure why he is having an issue.
They say one thing, but do another. NKT is a cult.
Nobody practices Achala anymore! What is the point of this? This is clearly negative speech. This monk has no credibility and no realizations.
calling others stupid won't make me any wiser - how is anyone to ever know what realizations others might have or not? I can only speak of my own or the lack of them, may you have every happiness and all its sources, may you be free from all sufferings and their sources, _/\_ (my hands clasped together in Namaste/gassho/wai towards you)
Wade Cleveland Um achala is practiced Secretly
Something outsiders of the NKT doesn’t know is that Kelsang Gyatso see’s himself as the reincarnation of Je Tsongkhapa. He came back to correct the Dharma that has been corrupted by the Tibetans and revive the pure tradition. That’s something every teachers in the NKT is deeply convinced of. The guy is completely delusional. Probably gone mad from worshipping Shugden.
Can you please show even one time he claimed he is the reincarnation of Je Tsongkhapa.And also If the guy is delusional and crazy from worshipping Shugden that means all his teachers were crazy.Just words are not enough my friend.
