Dorje Shugden

Support from Indian police

 

April 3, 2008          

The meeting was convened by the Indian Deputy Commissioner, Additional Commissioner and so on in Sera monastery, South India. The meeting was attended by abbots, administrators, representatives of Pomra, representative of the Dalai Lama in Tibetan settlement,

 

The deputy commissioner gave three demands:

 

1   You had better hold spiritual activities together, as you used to.

2    If it is not possible, then one party should hold prayers and so on first, and other party do so next.

3     Even these two demands could not be met, then the case will be filed to close the monastery.

 

The attended Sera-Jay monks suggested expelling and putting Shugden monks in other place. The police said: "According to your point view, we should single out Muslim from Hindu community and Hindu from Muslim community. This is not possible. The so-called referendum is nonsense. You are saying they have only 200 monks. If they have 200, or 500, or 10, Indian government supports those who have truth."

 

The high-leveled polices gave 24 hours to make a decision. The dateline expires at 3 pm, April 4, 2008.
