Kritik am Buch „The Shadow Of The Dalai Lama ... - Neues von Shi De

her visit to Dharamsala she was so completely entranced by the Kundun’s charm and humane political
mask that the issue of Tibet became for her the quintessential “moral touchstone of international
politics” (Tibetan Review, July 1993, p. 19). In concrete terms, that meant the politicians our world
stood at a threshold: if they supported the Dalai Lama they would be following the path of morality
and virtue; if they turned against the Kundun or simply remained passive, then they would be steering
down the road to immorality!
The green politician Petra Kelly completely failed to perceive the religiously motivated power politics
and the tantric occultism of Dharamsala. Like many other women she became a female chess piece (a
queen) in the Kundun’s game of strategy, one who opened doors to the German parliament and the
upper political ranks for him.
The illusory world of interreligious dialog and the ecumenical movement
Although dominated by culturally fixed images and rituals like every other religion, Tibetan
Buddhism initially presents itself as a tradition that is tied to neither a culture, a society, nor a race.
We hear from every lama that the teachings of the Shakyamuni Buddha consist exclusively in the
experiences of each individual. Anybody can test their credibility in his or her own religious practices.
Being of another non-Buddhist confession is no obstacle to such sacred exercises.
This, in the light of the tantric ritual system and the “baroque” Tibetan pantheon feigned, purist and
liberal basic attitude allows His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama to present himself as being so
tolerant and open minded that he has been celebrated for years as the “most open minded and liberal
ecclesiastical dignitary” on the planet. His readiness to engage in dialog has all but become a
catchphrase.
In now presenting the Kundun’s interreligious activities, we always have clearly in mind an awareness
that at heart the entire Lamaist system is and wants to be incompatible with other faiths. Let us review
the reasons for this once more, summarized in seven points. Tantric Buddhism, especially the
Kalachakra Tantra and the associated Shambhala myth, includes:
1. The extermination of those of other faiths
2. A warlike philosophy of violence
3. Foundations for a neofascist ideology
4. Contempt for the person, the individual (in favor of the gods), and especially for women
(in favor of the tantra masters)
5. The linking of religious and state power
6. World conquest and the establishment of a global Buddhocracy via manipulative and
warlike means
In the face of these points the Kundun’s ecumenical activity remains a lie for as long as he continues
to abide by the principles of the tantric ritual system and the ideological/political fundamentals of the
Shambhala myth (and the associated grasp for the world throne). It is nonetheless of important tactical
significance for him and has proved to be an excellent means of spreading the ideas of Lamaism all
over the world without objection.
This indirect missionary method has a long tradition in Tibetan history. As Padmasambhava (Guru
Rinpoche) won the Land of Snows over to Tantrism in the 8 th century, he never went on a direct
