Theos-Talk Archives (November 2008 Message tt00508)

Here is a link with a detailed article written and describing all the controversy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorje_Shugden_controversy

Personally I prefer to focus on the cause of the Tibetan people than on religious divisions. Of course we know a great harm maybe caused to the Gelukpas with the action of the Dalai Lama. Also all this controversy  between Tibetans gave even more strenght to China, as the result was conflicts between Tibetans and divisions. I think was a great mistake of the Dalai Lama to do that.

Subject: Theos-World The 14th Dalai Lama Vs. The Gelugpa Order?


What does everyone think about the forced ban of the Dharma Protector 
Dorje Shugden?
It is written that:
To enhance his authority, the Dalai Lama has sought to merge the four 
traditions into one and place himself at its head. But Dorje Shugden 
presents a roadblock. One aspect of Shugden is to Protect the Gelugpa 
tradition from adulteration, particularly by the Nyingma. 

Did the Dalai Lama get trapped in the Rime Movement and fully sold out 
to the dugpas?
Broke his Guru commitments, turned against Shugden and sacrficed the 
Gelgupa order for the hope of Tibet?
