Dear Your Eminence Minling Khenchen Rinpoche
We have considered necessary to inform you about next information. Dorje Zhambo, the person who was invited Khenpo Tsewang Gyatso from Mindrolling monastery to Ukraine has mixed reputation. Authenticity of the monastery headed by him, his lineage, monastic vows of gelongpa level, curriculum (education program) of his monastery, and also his competence in Dharma Teachings and Tibetan medicine is a subject of hot discussions for a long time and raise the many doubts because of many contradictions and omissions from his hand.
So, for example, from the Dorje Zhambo's brief biography which represented on official web page of his organization follows that he has accepted gelongpa monastic vows from the Choychen Dorje Chabchenba Lama (whose existence was not possible to prove up till nowadays, despite several formal requests) in 1989, thus, he has met him only for two years before 1989 in Buratiya, and then, in 1991 he was returned to Ukraine where he has registered the Buddhist organization, and in 1993 he creates the monastery. It is necessary to notice that is absolutely not clear how it was possible to accept gelongpa monastic vows and to create a monastery without sangha which arises only in availability of four experienced gelongpas according to Vinaya and necessary permission, and also, it is absolutely not clear in what language he received the teachings from the Choychen Dorje Chabchenba Lama. Also, It is necessary to notice that now Dorje Zhambo continue single-handedly devotes his students in the gelongpa monastic level in his Sheychen Ling monastery. Now, according to the words of his students, Dorje Zhambo declares his strong intention to visit Mindrolling for re-acceptance of gelongpa vows from Your Eminence, according to alleged special traditional ceremony, which seems strange enough.
As interesting fact that earlier Dorje Zhambo has positioned himself as belonging to the line of the Nyingma, which was originated in Tibet in the fifth century and established by Guru named Sahasvara before the Shantarakshita and Guru Rinpoche were reached Tibet. Later this information has been canceled. Also it is necessary to mention that in spite of the fact that in 1991 Dorje Zhambo has received in Buratiya one of the tantric teaching from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, he and his students allow themselves to openly criticize the activities of His Holiness as a political and spiritual leader of Tibet.
In Separate item it is necessary to note some suspicious practice named "Mag Tzal", which positioned by Dorje Zhambo as traditional Tibetan martial art, and that he teach in the walls of Sheychen Ling monastery. Would like to note that despite the many questions asking of the high Tibetan lamas about “Mag Tzal”, none of them are not only didn’t confirmed the existence of the last, but even did not hear about something like that. Besides the spiritual activity Dorje Zhambo also participates in one of the Ukrainian nationalist organizations and conducts some lectures-psycho trainings as a layman.
Also, in Sheychen Ling produced some medicaments with Tibetan names, which also positioned by Dorje Zhambo as traditional Tibetan.
Dear Rinpoche-la, as you understand, the given information seems so strange even for the people who have only superficial knowledge about Tibetan Buddhism, but Dorje Zhambo does not hurry to clear up a number of existing disputable situations, explaining it the way that no one from the opponents who is not a monk, who has no experience of three years retreats, and who has no knowledge of the canonical languages are not serious practitioners of Buddhism and therefore not worthy of any clear explanation for this issues.
Nevertheless, recently Dorje Zhambo and his students openly point to Your Eminence, as the head guarantor of their authenticity. They publicly declare that Your Eminence and Khenpo Tsewang Gyatso are already absolutely confirms the authenticity of Dorje Zhambo as gelongpa (who has the right to single-handedly devote the students in the gelongpa monastic level) and as experienced lama and prior of the Sheychen Ling monastery which belongs to the pure Nyingma tradition, confirms Dorje Zhambo's competence in Vinaya, and approved the curriculum (education program) of the Sheychen Ling monastery as one that completely corresponds to the pure Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Also they declares that Khenpo Tsewang Gyatso was confirming the existence of “Mag Tzal” as traditional Tibetan martial art, and that Khenpo Tsewang Gyatso personally heard about some of Tibetan monasteries in Nepal where it practice.
We are sincerely asking you to confirm or refute the veracity of the information above for the termination of all existing disputes about this issues, because for a long time it directly conjugated with a number of negative manifestations of speech and mind of many people against each other, and also because the well-being and safeness of many people who are interested in the Buddhism depends on it.
Sincerely yours, Participants of Buddhist online community "Dharma"
