This is a brave attempt at explaining the Dorje Shugden controversy to a certain target audience, that is, the Christian US American community, who, I think would find it hard to understand the issues. I do agree with the author that Westerners may have a hard time believing that such a schism is even happening in Buddhism in this day and age. I admire his understanding of the issues and his willingness to seek “attitude changes”.
