Ven Samdhong Rinpoche is coming to the end of his term as Kalon Tripa (Prime Minister of the Tibetan Government in Exile) and makes a surprising speech. His speech makes you think much more of who he really is and where his devotions are.
1. He has not done his work for the Tibetan nation, people, government, politics or patriotism. He says he has none of those feelings.
2. He did not do the work for himself or anyone else (inferring subtlely to the Dalai Lama).
3. He worked for the Tibetan Govt, for the Dalai Lama and for the Tibetan people in order to FULFILL THE COMMAND OF HIS ROOT GURU H.H. KYABJE TRIJANG RINPOCHE.
Trijang Rinpoche had advised Samdhong Rinpoche to give up everything and serve the Dalai Lama. Trijang Rinpoche advised him to sacrifice his personal wishes and just serve the Dalai Lama. It is to fulfill the wishes of his late guru he has done what he has done. He says in Tibetan, "You may think I do not deserve this award after hearing what I have to say" because he did not serve the Tibetan people/nation out of patriotism. But he wants to tell the truth anyway.
Samdhong Rinpoche also said:
1. A person who has entered the Mahayana must serve the guru by body speech and mind according to the 9 attitudes of Guru Devotion. One has offered one's body, speech and mind to the guru, so one must fulfill the instructions of one's lama all the way. You do not 'own' your body, speech and mind anymore.
2. Also never say you cannot do it before you even started the work; instead, you should do it and complete the job well and then say you cannot do it. The point? Just do what you have been instructed by the teacher.
What Samdhong Rinpoche says here infers clearly he is not doing any work for the Dalai Lama in actuality but only to fulfill the orders of his root guru Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche. Powerful guru devotion.
It makes sense. If Samdhong Rinpoche 'was' a great practitioner of Shugden and he gave up Shugden to work for the Dalai Lama, then he IS following the instructions of his lama, contrary to popular criticisms.
During the opening of Shar Gaden Monastery in South India in 2010, a senior monk Geshe Konchok Gyeltsen mentioned clearly that the previous Trijang Rinpoche had openly and decisively confirmed that Samdhong Rinpoche is an incarnation of Dorje Shugden. His Eminence Gangchen Rinpoche further confirms this.
This video shows clearly where Samdhong Rinpoche's loyalties lie.
