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
