Hello
Has the Dalai Lama claimed that he has subdued (destroyed) Dorje Shugden?
This is a link to a speech he made about Dorje Shugden.
It was put on youtube by Tsem Tulku.

Dalai Lama says Dorje Shugden DOES NOT Harm
Tsem Rinpoche
Published on Sep 13, 2016
TRANSLATION:
"God is harming! Naga is harming!
For example, Gyalpo Shugden. I have put him [Dorje Shugden] in a position where he is a recipient of my compassion. Besides, I do not nor have I ever had any feeling that Gyalpo Shugden will harm me. Do you understand?
No matter how pitiful or wretched we are, however if we practise the Bodhicitta, love and compassion, no god or ghost can harm us."

Remember this key sentence by the Dalai Lama,
"FOR EXAMPLE, GYALPO SHUGDEN. I HAVE PUT HIM (DORJE SHUGEN) IN A POSITION WHERE HE IS A RECIPIENT OF MY COMPASSION".
Does the Dalai Lama version of "compassion" mean "Wrathful Compassion", i.e. a FIRE PUJA???
Remember it is an act of "compassion" for a Lama to subdue (destroy) a ghost, demon, spirit, GYALPO etc and send them to a "Pure Land".
Tsem Tulku has done a youtube video about how many High Lamas for hundreds of years have not be able to subdue Dorje Shugden at the request of the previous and present Dalai Lamas.
What does the DL mean when he stated "no god or ghost (gyalpo) can harm us"?
Does he really mean that the "Gyalpo" Dorje Shugden can no longer harm us (or does he mean the DL)?
DOES HE MEAN THAT DORJE SHUGDEN HAS BEEN SUBDUED (DESTROYED) AND "CAN NO LONGER HARM US" (THE DL AND HIS FOLLOWERS).
Everyone thought that the Dalai Lama was lifting his ban on Dorje Shugden with the above statement.
I believe that in fact he was really saying was he has DESTROYED Dorje Shugden.
In his statement he calls Dorje Shugden, "GYAPLO" SHUGDEN.
He uses "GYAPLO" not to praise Dorje Shugden put to INSULT him.
So has the Dalai Lama now SUBDUED or DESTROYED the "GYALPO SHUGDEN"?
