Since learning about Kelsang Gyatso and what the NKT is doing I am finding [View all]

that I don't want to go to the NKT center by me, (I've been away for a couple weeks and the last time before that it was a conflict also.)

I have friends there. I have not met the new resident monk or nun but I know that one of the teachers understands why it is upsetting to me that no Dalai Lama pictures are allowed and how I feel the protesters are wrong in their actions. The other one knows too but she says the propaganda that the Gyatso spreads. She is very nice though and I like her and everyone there.

But the thought occurred to me about the money I give them and whether or not I am supporting something that is harmful to many people.

I have tried to communicate with these people who are actively trying to bring His holiness The Dalai Lama down and they are obviously completely brainwashed.

But the teachings they give on nights when anyone can come are always very good and I love meditating with people around and feeling the increased energy.

Just wanted to share that.
