Following the false Dalai Lama’s lies a group called the ‘Shugden Research Group Dhomed’ have produced a book in Chinese called Protector vs . Evil Spirit. The Western Shugden Society has checked this book and found that it is full of lies. It gives false information about Je Phabongkhapa, who is a living Buddha Heruka, about Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche, who is the lineage holder of the Gelug Tradition, and about Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, who is the founder of nearly 1,200 Buddhist centres and groups throughout the world, as well as the author of twenty-one highly acclaimed and qualified books on Buddhism. The following are a few of the examples of lies and false information being spread by this group.
During Je Phabongkhapa’s time, not only his disciples but many famous scholars and realized Teachers from both the Sakya and Gelug traditions sincerely relied upon Dorje Shugden. Because of this, out of jealousy, the oracle of the spirit called Nechung continually lied to the Thirteenth Dalai Lama, saying that Dorje Shugden was harming the Tibetan government and the Dalai Lama’s health. Believing what the Nechung oracle told him, the Thirteenth Dalai Lama used his political power to ban the practice of Dorje Shugden. In this way, he restricted the religious freedom of Shugden practitioners. This was the real situation. Through this we can understand that the source of this problem was the Nechung oracle. However, the Shugden Research Group Dhomed in their book Protector vs . Evil Spiritfalsely blame Je Phabongkhapa and Trijang Rinpoche for these problems, and have spread false information about these precious spiritual Teachers.
Also, in this book the Shugden Research Group Dhomed writes: ‘For example, when Kelsang Gyatso, who is now living in England, returned to the UK from China, he did not allow the portrait of the Dalai Lama to be displayed in his organizations.’ As it is a proven fact that Geshe Kelsang Gyatso has never visited China, this is clearly a lie.
Furthermore, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso has never once said that he is the Third Buddha. There are thousands of witnesses to this, but in their book, this Group writes: ‘On the one hand Kelsang Gyatso used intemperate words and gossip to smear the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan people, and on the other hand he alleges that he is “the Third Buddha” in Western society.’ This is also a lie.
We, the Western Shugden Society, have the intention to write a more detailed clarification of these matters.
