Below is what The Dalai Lama quoted in his teachings in Amaravati, India in 2005:
If one were to summarize the Buddha’s teaching in one word, we would have to say that it is universal interdependence, of which nonviolence is a natural consequence. Since we are all dependent on each other and all other beings want to be happy and not suffer, just as I do, my personal happiness and suffering are inextricably linked with those of others. This nonviolence does not mean weakness or passivity. It is the deliberate choice of altruism in all our thoughts and actions, so that it becomes inconceivable to knowingly harm others.
My question to The Dalai Lama , with respect: why is it that in two years after that, you back out on your words and till today allowed violence to be inflicted to Dorje Shugden practitioners? Are you also telling non Buddhists that all the violence and segregation is within the context of Buddhism because you as the head is allowing that to continue?
