This video is in response to the recent teachings by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Sera on Lam Rim (December 24, 2013-January 4, 2014) where the ban against Shugden is mentioned again for 27 minutes. It seems at every teaching and public gathering the Shugden ban and the witch-hunt against practitioners are repeated. After teachings we should have a peaceful state of mind conducive for gaining higher states of consciousness but instead we are given information to stoke the fires to take action actions against Shugden practitioners. The tone or method of delivery against Shugden practitioners by Tibetan leadership is one of conciliation and religious freedom. But to repeat the ban at every public opportunity is to elicit actions indirectly by the Tibetan public against Shugden practitioners. The lack of religious freedom is underlying in every message by the leadership. If there was religious freedom then there would be no talk against Shugden, any god, religion or worship whatsoever by Tibetan leadership at all public events and gatherings. There will be no constitution laws against the practitioners of Shugden as there are within the CTA of Dharamsala, the so called had of Tibetans in exile.
This statement by Kungo Sonam Rinchen is powerful. It is in Tibetan for Tibetan listeners. We urge the many Tibetans that visit this site to listen to Mr. Sonam Rinpoche logical and impassioned explanation about the unfair ban against Shugden and practitioners.

As I always said the CTA is always trying to denial that there is no ban if there is no ban or violents again the Tibethan DS practitioner then why bother to enforce it during all these public teaching what’s more the teaching is about Dharma. By right after the teaching everyone should feel in peace and at least for that moment we do something virtue like holding on our refuge vows .
