Hello friends! My name is Paul, and I live in Spain. I am a practisioner of the kadampa school (NKT-IKBU). I am really impressed by this website, and I would like to know what school built it.
Recently, I was sent off from a guelug website and from a kagyu monastery just because I am a Dorje Shugden follower. I also would like to know if all guelugpas and all kagyupas agree this.
Thanks a lot

Paul,
WEBSITE
I can't say who built this website, but it sure is well done and serves a great purpose.
My gratitude to all those that are behind it. Bravo!
If more DS practitioners would do as much to make known the qualities of DS and let the truth prevail, I am sure the ban would be lifted sooner.
GELUG
As a practitioner who relies on Dorje Shugden, I am within the lineage of Losang Drakpa (Lama Tsongkhapa), the lineage of Atisha, the combined lineage of Manjushri and Maitreya, the same lineage as the Dalai Lama or Kelsang Gyatso.
Dorje Shugden is the protector of Nagarjuna's teachings as explained clearly by Lama Tsongkhapa, and as such he is the protector of the Gelug lineage.
Even if some monks have officially been expelled from the gelug monsateries of Ganden and Sera, they are still Gelug in their practice. Even NKT is Gelug in their lineage, in their practice, in their reference teachings... NKT teaches the Lamrim.
Do all the gelugpas agree with the monks being expelled?
I don't know.
I don't agree with it, but I must also respect the Dalai Lama and look for the reasons why this is being done, why the Dalai Lama seem to have contradicted himself so many times on the subject...
All I see as a result is that many people suffer from the ban but then it also makes many more people develop faith and reliance into Dorje Shugden, maybe at the expenses of the Dalai Lama, but what a selfless sacrifice that is!
Look for more on this website, there is a lot of information that has helped me get a better understanding of the situation.
