My response number number 17 above is the answer. Sometimes it is better to wait and watch.

But I keep coming back to salute true patriots here. I post here for the audience of two. One, hoping that JN will write and other hoping Gaden Podrang cronies will come here looking what JN has written and then take notes of what is being said and hopefully will inform Holy father of how the public feel.

Tsepak Rigzin la, why do you advise people from writing and then yourself come out here and wail? This question is with reference to your post where you write that ” I have personally requested some to show restraint ” Why?

May be the topic of research for the next Science and Mind should the psychological reason behind fondness of the Buddhas in Gaden Podrang for morally depraved person like winner of who wants to be millionaire monk Lama Dhonden and Dralok Kalden Lodroe now enthroned as Director of RFA?

Whole reason of putting Dralok Kalden is to defang Tibetan media from snooping and talking too much. Media may be castrated but in this day and age who has castrated Tibetan scholars? At least, I appreciate your calling wolf! We are in a slippery slope position now. I have one word: Damn with such དད་སྣང་། Jamyang la has a better word, it is called ” Reality and Illusion” !
Chenrizi should have a reality check! HE is always ending up trusting the wrong people, be it Juchen or LS or two worthless thuk-sey named above.

Truth takes it’s own time of maturation. I respect your concerns and sensibility though. Words of Oscar Wilde synchronizes perfectly with this issue, “The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”

Then, please tell the poor, wretched, misguided folks like us whose faith is shaken like the butter lamp in a storm, how do you,”uphold your དག་སྣང་ for Gaden Phodrang,” that most of us all agree is infested with ” the cronies, (S)cychophants, and crooks” ?
We all agree what Sogyal Rinpoche did is wrong. We are all grateful to His Holiness the Dalai Lama for berating the deeds of Sogyal Rinpoche. But when it comes to Kalden Lodoe and Temzin Dhonden, why the standard is so different?

It will be very helpful if you do a YouTube video on this difficult but important issue for us faithful or wanting to be faithful to keep our དག་སྣང་ ? I think Scholars like Geshe Thupten Jinpa and you owe us some explanation for all the གུས་ཕྱག་we bestow for your scholarship.

I wasn’t questioning Gaden Phodrang at all. I was hitting at the cronies, cychophants, crooks surrounding His Holiness the Dalai Lama. They are the apples – can be good or bad. Pl. don’t get me wrong. Secondly, your question – Why Gaden Phodrang likes bad apples so much? Ask me not this, rather, ask yourself or ask Gaden Phodrang. It is your question and way of thinking not mine. I uphold my དག་སྣང་ for Gaden Phodrang, and fundamentally, དག་སྣང་ is a sacred private and personal outlook. It’s a deeply religious conviction not even a religiosity on an individual level.

“By the way not all apples are always good. some apples can be bad. One bad apple is good enough to ruin all apples in the bag.”

I have a question for you. Why is it that Gaden Prodang likes bad apples so much? Why is Gaden Prodang allergic to good apples? May be people like you with དག་སྣང་can better explain this? All your words. Not mine.

I might have got it right. Are you sure you got it too? Like the professor said in the opening remarks of beautiful YouTube you posted, your/our/ Tibetan yak herders faith towards His Holiness may remain unshaken, but has the answer to your faith remained the same?

Who are the losers here: morals, truth, honesty, TIBET, TIBETAN people, -the real Tibetan people. གསུང་རྒྱུ་བླ་མས་གསུངས་ཡོང་། མཛད་རྒྱུ་བླ་མས་མཛད་ཡོང་།

My thinking on this issue is totally different from you, Jamyang la do not need to change the spot of his tiger skin. His will shine bright in the annals of Tibetan struggle, irrespective fake and false posturing of our witless community now. His children and all those who get to associate with him will forever be proud of their father/friend or mentor.

But will the crooked emissaries of His Holiness let His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s legacy survive the moment of light, once He is gone?

Won’t the shallowness, greed and people who symbolizes the exact opposite of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s life-time of teaching not betray the hypocrisy?

Isn’t this the whole reason of your first post to begin with? Also, isn’t it the core teaching of His Holiness the Dalai Lama that disciples should not close their eyes and follow their lamas blindly, but investigate the wheeling and dealings of his or her Lamas?

If we apply the same standard to His Holiness, does His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s embrace of these two shadowy crooks as His thuk-sey pass the smell test ?

JN will testify to the fact that His Holiness the great 13 Dalai Lama did yoemen service for the future of our nation, but the moment He passed away, thanks to crooks and chamchas that surrounded him, it evaporated within a span of few years. They say, history not only repeat itself but also rhymes. I fear we are witnessing the same here, if Gaden Prodhang does not wake up from this death-embrace by dralok Kalden Lodroe and Lama Dhondhen. I shed tears as I write this from Kathmandu, Nepal. It is a wail of my weak, feeble heart, not of a snake hibernating! I wish patriot in JN could take a 10th March pledge here to do this house cleaning for our nation.

By the way not all apples are always good. some apples can be bad. One bad apple is good enough to ruin all apples in the bag. Thank you!
