The Dalai Lama claims that Dorje Shugden practitioners will be disruptive in their efforts in achieving the Tibetan cause, which is to gain self-autonomy, but in actual fact, Dorje Shugden practitioners are not to be blamed as explained in the article, Shugden lamas maintain strong ties with the Chinese which could be a bridge for the CTA to regain self-autonomy. In fact, it is the ban on Dorje Shugden by the CTA and Dalai Lama that contributes to them not achieving what they want for Tibet. All the reasons that the Dalai lama stated will result from practising Dorje Shugden, is actually a result of enforcing the illegal ban to religious freedom. Shortening the Dalai lama's life, created by the violence and disharmony between Tibetans and Gelug Buddhist practitioners as well as disparaging of gurus and breaking samaya, Disruption to the cause of Tibet, is because China is weary of the disharmony CTA has managed to bring about within their people and also the protests and riots, which China would very much like to avoid. All these reasons stated by the Dalai Lama is not valid, for practising Dorje Shugden does not contribute to it. Illegally enforcing the ban on Shugden practise does.
