The Dalai Lama

Letter sent to HE the Chief Minister of Bihar by email 11-12-10

May it please Your gracious Excellency,

By the blessings of the Divine we pray this finds YE in excellent health and spirits in the service of our state and thereby the nation.

This is to draw YE’s gracious attention to my website www.lamashree.org concerning which the IB is bound to be familiar with. This is basically a collection of various writings of mine on the Dalai Lama, the Karmapa Controversy and so on. May I urge YE to browse through this site personally to develop an idea of what it might contain in the national interest.

This is to draw YE’s gracious attention to the anomalous phenomenon known as Root Inst based in Bodh Gaya under the patronage of the DL. It forms part of an organisation grandiosely called Foundation for the Preservation of Mahayana Teachings or FPMT.

Notably Feb 24, 2007, Ashley Carney 24, of the US had been found dead at the Root Inst. Its organisers claimed it to be a case of suicide by jumping off the first floor. The manner in which the body lay on the ground told a different story of it being actually a murder. In any case, the viscera of the deceased had been sent to Nagpur for a forensic test then and the case has been silenced, with the police and the administration having been paid off to keep shut. Moreover pressure from the DL ensured that the matter was relegated into the limbo.

YE is urged to have this incident fully investigated in the national interest and the culprit nabbed and prosecuted.

Another issue concerns the Gelugpa sect of the Dalai Lama. At best the whole lot of them is dicey particularly his elder brother Gyalo Thondup.

Notably elder monks regularly sodomise young novices age 8 onwards at these monasteries. This child abuse is rampant in Gelugpa monasteries specifically. YE could read the article ‘Sexual abuse of children in monasteries of the Dalai Lama’ posted many years ago on my website. It is my humble request that swift action be taken against these monasteries and that the DL be told in no uncertain terms that such behaviour, besides being a direct infringement of the Vinaya, is unacceptable in modern Bihar and throughout India.

YE may also be aware of the real reason as to why the grandiose Maitreya Project was not given the green signal. It had been planned by international agencies to use this as a financial and logistical conduit to train and arm Naxalites! And the DL was a direct accomplice in this sordid venture!

I have gone to the extent of stating that circumstantial evidence proves beyond doubt that the DL was directly involved not only in the purported FLIGHT of Urgen Trinlay Dorje from Tibet, in cohoots with the PRC, from day one, he was also fully aware of the Khandahar hijacking plot and had assisted the PRC, the CIA and Pakistan to obtain the release of the three dreaded terrorists through directly influencing decision taking at the centre.

Given such a dubious track record, concerning which the GOI is fully aware, but somehow finds itself powerless to do anything about it, YE is urged to be extremely cautious of anything to do with the DL and his Gelugpa sect as also his protege the purported 17th Karmapa Ugen Trinlay Dorje who is certainly physically at least ten years older than his purported age of 25! UTD has the entire weight of the Central Tibetan Administration behind him and thus has the media chasing after him head over heels! This too needs to be curbed!

It may be appropriate to mention that the NDA govt at the centre had treated the DL as the Rajaguru of India besides making him the uncrowned emperor of the republic. It is prayed that such a situation never ever arises again! Fortunately for us, he has since been defanged with the NATO tilt towards India and the PRC having shown the DL the door shortly after the conclusion of the Beijing Olympics.

His capacity to create mischief has thus been curbed, but he continues a potential threat in any case with all his sweet talk and sermons and activities incongruous with his beguiling statements and divisive politics religious and otherwise!!

Above all it is necessary for YE to understand the great historical divide between Sanatana Dharma and Buddhism and the manner in which the former had physically and directly persecuted the latter 2nd century BCE onwards sporadically then. The advent of Adi Shankara 7th c. CE, had formalised this process making it pan Indian, as history itself is witness, leading to its final fall at the hands of Muslim invaders. As a Buddhist I must therefore urge YE to cultivate an awareness of the forces which have shaped the history of ancient India.

I remain humbly, a patriot,
Lama Shree
