It is not so much the 8 worldly concerns that motivated the monks to expel Gyurme Kensur. It was total fear. Fear of the Dalai Lama. Dalai Lama would not say expel this person or that person these days as he has been highly criticized for that in the past. So he will drop hints. If the hints are not taken he will not be pleased with Gaden Jangtze. One word that he is displeased with Gaden Jangtze or any Gelug Monastery would bring heaps of trouble and bad reputation for them. So when he mentioned Gyurme Kensur doesn't come to see him anymore or attend his teachings, the inference is Gyurme Kensur MUST HAVE DEFECTED TO THE SHUGDEN CAMP. So therefore he doesn't attend the Dalai Lama's events. From this hint and this hint alone, the Abbot of Gaden Jangtze went into a tailspin and expelled Gyurme Kensur. Sadness, politics, fear, undemocratic policies and religious persecution rules the Gelug Monasteries these days.
I can't even imagine what it's like in the monasteries. Living in fear - just because I wish to continue a Dharma Protector practice which was given to me by my Guru and which out of Guru Devotion, I would never give up.
The TGIE talk about democracy but this expulsion of the Gyurme Kensur which is based on zero evidence, except for a passing word from His Holiness, is far from democratic! Truly frightening but very real.
I agree with what Triesa said about the High Lamas of Gaden moving to Dorje Shugden monasteries. When Shar Gaden and Ser Pom monasteries flourish as they already are, and with great masters in these monasteries, such as HH Trijang Rinpoche, and HH Gaden Trisur, HE Zemey Rinpoche, Dorje Shugden practice will become stronger and prevail over the petty politics. It is possible that these Shugden monasteries will become mainstream in the end. Everything is impermanent after all.
