Documentary: In the late 1990s, the Dalai Lama led a crackdown on the Dorje Shugden, accusing its worshippers of being an 'evil cult'. Dorje Shugden, an enlighted protection deity, has been worshipped in Tibet for thousands of years without conflict. Among the worshippers of the Dorje Shugden are the late teachers of the Dalai Lama himself.

Initially, refugees tried to flee to Tibet, but were refused at the Chinese border for their association with the Dalai Lama. Some have returned to India, practicing their religion in secret, while others have moved to Western Europe and North America.

This persecution has become progressively more virulent, and in January 2008, the Dalai Lama issued a new proclamation requiring all Tibetans to sign a declaration forsaking the practice forever and promising not to associate in any way -- spiritually, financially, socially or materially -- with anyone who does not sign.

  • Idon't really understand why you have linked this to the genocide olympics being held by the CCP. I don't get the link between the violence that the chinese government is perpetuating at home and in the world and this video.

  • PLA internet commentators made this video but they wont succeed!Truth always prevails

  • Please stop degenerating Buddhism w/ the spirit worshiip. If worshiping spirit is more important than profound teachings of Buddha then you should call yourself spirit worshiper rather than a buddhism.

  • ..Were mistaken. In the 90s there were acts of violence against Shugden practitioners, they were all mistaken in their understanding of what His Holiness was teaching, they have since stopped and it is no longer a problem. The problem is that the Shugden practitioners continue to break the law, even if they are only asked to refrain from attending His Holiness's teachings, what is the problem? Why not just give it up?

  • Members of the Shugden Association murdered three monks, is it not clear that this is not just an innocent off-shoot but a cult? There have been many off-shoots of Tibetan Buddhism recently, Shambalah, Rime, FPMT, all of which are welcomed by the Dalai Lama because they do not pose any harm to the community. If all he asks is that Shugden Practioners do not attend his teachings, then what is the problem? All reincarnations of Shugden practitioners have stopped practicing because they know they..

  • I know four people who have gone to the New Kadampa Tradition and left, they had been physically, sexually and financially abused. They are claiming to teach Buddhism, but they instead teach only a spirit worship. Buddhism is a rich philosophical system, defined by the teachings of the Sutras and the discipline of the Vinaya, the monastic code. If these centers are claiming to be Buddhists, but do not follow the Sutras and Vinaya, then they are 1.Not Buddhist and 2.Exploiting people.

  • Nope- aside from the world peace and free expression of opinion which i totally agree with, I don't get your point.
