Thank you, Losang Tenpa, for introducing us to this new website of Gaden Trisur. As can be seen from this quite recent video, His Holiness Gaden Trisur continues to be a highly respected personage.
I totally agree with Beggar that Gaden Trisur, in declaring his intention to practice Shugden upon his retirement as the 101 Gaden Tripa, is not showing disrespect of the Dalai Lama nor standing up against Him. Rather his courage is to stand up for what he believes in, and that is that Dorje Shugden is the enlightened Protector who arose to protect the teachings of Je Tsongkapa and the Gelug lineage
If we read and study His answer to the Question -"How will Your Holiness describe Your Relationship with HH the Dalai Lama(in an interview during His 2003 visit to S'pore as Gaden Tripa)?" - we can see how much of love and respect He has for the Dalai Lama. He said that the Dalai Lama "is one of my precious Root Teachers"(who had taken such great care of Him all the way from the time when He had been just a newly ordained monk). He also said that He had taken a photograph with Dalai Lama recently and that "(t)hat there is nothing in the world that I cherish more".
There is so much dignity in this great personage who refused to be drawn into the politics and continues throughout to maintain His love and devotion for all His Root Gurus.
