I watched a lot of the demonstration videos, calling His Holiness a liar or lying, from a person who does not know tibetan buddhism the manner in which the demonstration was conducted peaceful though it was, it does not paint a good image for all parties concerned. And such tactics I think most outsiders will not take the demonstration seriously.
Putting something down so that we can be right, or so our view gets to the top, has limited success IMHO.
How many people have started doing Dorje Shugden as a direct result of the demonstrations, that they feel in awe that justice is being served? Is buddhism about being right? It would be interesting to know if such information exists.
@tenzin sungrab are you also heartspoon?
Anyways I think if a method does work we should point it out. The lamas like Gangchen Rinpoche and Gaden trisur has results why stay on the same method over and over again. The DS website has results, they have come up with different strategies video, graphic novel, pendants..... You cant do the same thing and expect different results that is madness, unless the new demos uses different words or tactics, or even focus groups. All I am saying demonstration won't get you new symphatizers or new people who will endear you to the cause.
