Shugden's Holiness The Dalai Lama In Tibetan Buddhism

The pro-Shugden organized many manifestations against His Holiness the Dalai Lama with the sole purpose of harassing and defaming him. Such attempt will not serve their purpose, no matter how hard they try. It is like banging their heads against a brick wall. They openly show their deep dissatisfaction, venting their feelings of hatred and anger on the streets of the big cities in Europe and USA. They shout at the peak of their voice, “Fake Dalai Lama, we want religious freedom.” They don't care even though their reputation is on the line. So unrealistic and crazy are they that they even don't realise the right and the privilege they enjoy. When they return to their respective centres, they perform the Shugden practise at will. Isn't it a religious freedom? If not, what is it? Their attitudes and behaviours during various demonstrations make the hair stand on end.

His Holiness could have avoided this highly sensitive controversy because
His Holiness the Dalai Lama´s advice proves very beneficial for Tibetan Buddhism as a whole. At present, we enjoy the harmonious co-existence of the Buddhist followers of all four traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. It is universally known that religious fundamentalism breeds antagonism, recrimination, confrontation and factionalism among the religious people. We Tibetan should learn from our political history how religious fundamentalism triggered the proxy war in the late 15th century and the early 16tth century. The mainstream Tibetan Buddhism has made it very clear that Shugden practice is not a part of it from now on. We owe lots of gratitude to His Holiness for his incredible work. Any other person in his place would have easily succumbed to the pressure. His consistent work to promote peace and harmony in this world has earned him respect and love from people around the world. He will be remembered in Tibetan history as the greatest political and religious leader
