I agree with Didier's comment, 27 May 2006 above. Please, people, spend the effort and time to meditate and free yourself of suffering and misery, instead of wasting your engery and time wondering if Palden Dorje is real or fake. If you are familiar with Buddhism and meditation, you will realise that Palden Dorje is on a personal mission to reach enlightenment.
Bear in mind, Palden Dorje did not make any claims of superiority or supernatural powers over anybody. I sincerely believe that he is not even aware that he has been accused of being a fake!! Palden Dorje's sole aim is to go on a mission to achieve enlightenment and by such a time. Note this, he did this by quietly leaving home in the middle of the night without telling his family, no fanfare. It is only later that the "circus" and "clowns" invited themselves over to his meditation site. He didn't invite the "circus" and "clowns" to make themselves part of his personal mission, but they came from all over the world, UNINVITED!!. They are in fact intruding into his personal space!! And behaving as if they are the masters of the centuries old craft of a certain type of meditation and Budhhism, raving and ranting about how this is possible and that is not possible. Such behaviour gives one the impression of how ignorant the "circus" and "clowns" are. What a joke! Take note, whatever unsavoury and negative comments have been passed on about Palden Dorje, they were solely made by an ignorant public (the supposedly learned "circus" and "clowns"). Here in this case, the ignorant public can say whatever they like and judge however they like!! How so? It is because the public is utterly ignorant, that is why, though one likes to think that just because one has read more books one is more intelligent or smarter than another but actually one can be an utter ignorant fool if one wants to behave like one. A gardener is a master of the garden, a toilet cleaner a master in keeping the tiolets clean, a brain surgeon a master in saving lives. It means that a brain surgeon cannot be a master in toilet cleaning as a toilet cleaner can, as each is a master of their own skill. This means one must respect each individual's speciality and do not judge through one's very own ignorance. Therefore the ignorant public should respect and accept Palden Dorje's decision to meditate in his own way, the way he knows best and the way he knows he will be able to sustain himself in the long haul. The ignorant public should also learn more about Budhhism and the many forms of meditation there are, before commenting. Then at least they know what they are ranting and raving about. And at least they will come to understand and accept Palden Dorje and his mission, and if he fails at it, then it is his freedom of choice. Remember - freedom. It is important in one'life.
These ignorant public should be grateful that now they get to witness confirmations of certain manifestations of a certain type of meditation being undertaken by Palden Dorje, otherwise one will not get to witness it because it would be kept out of public view. Note, this is possibble because we the ignorant public, intruded uninvited into Palden Dorje's meditation site. We aught to be prosecuted! This same skeptical and ignorant public should also be grateful that they have learnt a lot about life from Palden Dorje, a courageous teenager. If only all of us can be a spectator of our own lives!!
So people, shall we all leave Palden Dorje in peace to go on his personal mission, and do not make uncalled for comments or judgements as if we are the masters of the art of meditation and Buddhism.
Instead give Palden Dorje some encouragement and respect, eh ?
