Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche - Alliance in United States of America

Alliance in United States of America

The Dalai Lama and Chocktrul Rinpoche have met at least once since then, in Northampton, Massachusetts in 2007 when they promoted an alliance: H.H. the 14º Dalai Lama granted a permission to H.H. the 18º Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche that he would practice Dorje Shugden, in exchange for the great and loving friendship that always existed between them in previous lives. Chocktrul Rinpoche now concentrates on his own Dharma studies and practices as a private citizen in the USA where he is free to continue his practice of Dorje Shugden as in his previous lives. In his Trijang Buddhist Institute’s web site, Chocktrul lovingly shows a photo of H.H. Dalai Lama with a dedication that reads:


His Holiness Dalai Lama's Dedication


This object of veneration is offered to Trijang Buddhist Institute with the prayer that the Buddha’s teaching flourish, that all sentient beings may obtain the treasure of the Dharma, and that they may live in happiness and virtue.


Signed,


Dalai Lama, Buddhist Monk - May 9, 2007

Famous quotes containing the words alliance, united, states and/or america:

    Racism as a form of skin worship, and as a sickness and a pathological anxiety for America, is so great, until the poor whites—rather than fighting for jobs or education—fight to remain pink and fight to remain white. And therefore they cannot see an alliance with people that they feel to be inherently inferior.
    Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)

    In the United States the whites speak well of the Blacks but think bad about them, whereas the Blacks talk bad and think bad about the whites. Whites fear Blacks, because they have a bad conscience, and Blacks hate whites because they need not have a bad conscience.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    [N]o combination of dictator countries of Europe and Asia will halt us in the path we see ahead for ourselves and for democracy.... The people of the United States ... reject the doctrine of appeasement.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    In America there are two classes of travel—first class, and with children. Travelling with children corresponds roughly to travelling third-class in Bulgaria. They tell me there is nothing lower in the world than third-class Bulgarian travel.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
