Also, "Although it is not stated in the biography of the Fifth Dalai Lama, according to common tradition, it is believed that Dakpa Gyaltsen was killed by stuffing his mouth with scarves." Fourteenth Dalai Lama in a talk, July 13th, 1978.
Buddhist ontology distinguishes between different levels of existence, between gross and subtle material bodies. While human beings and most animals have gross material form, the majority of beings have subtle energy bodies invisible to common perception of the material senses. All Buddhist protectors and most other helpful beings in the Buddhist pantheon are believed to have such subtle mental energy bodies invisible to the physical eye. Dorje Shugden is one of those materially invisible forces believed by those who rely on him to be in the same continuity as Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen, the accomplished master whose actions were considered beyond evil intent.
See for example the Fourteenth Dalai Lama's statement,
"It is my view that Tulku Dakpa Gyaltsen's instinctive
behaviour and ways of thinking were good. I have looked at his Collected Works which also contain his secret biography. He seems to have been
good in
his studies and to have a gentle subdued mind. In his biography there are a few Guru Yoga texts, one of
which has Buddha Shakyamuni in the center and around him: Guru Rinpoche [Padmasambhava] (9th century)
surrounded by the Guru lineage of the Nyingma Order, Sachen Kunga Nyingpo (1092-1158) surrounded by the
Guru lineage of the Sakya order; Marpa (1012-1097), Mila (1052-1135) and Dwagpo (1079-1161) surrounded
by the Guru Lineage of Kagyud order; Je-Rinpoche [Tsong Khapa] (1375-419) and his two spiritual sons
surrounded by the Gurus of Gelug order;.... teachings of past Sakya, Gelug, Kagyud and Nyingma masters are
summarized and it is explained that one should pay homage and recite eulogies through recollecting their
qualities. At the conclusion, he explains that a boundless crime based on contemporary sectarianism produces
causes to be thrown into bad realms and that he had written this Guru Yoga deliberately to avoid such
negative results. Having seen that, I thought it was good. Usually, Gyalchen [Dorje Shugden] is considered a
biased deity, since there was this account in the Collected Works of Dakpa Gyaltsen, I thought it was good."
From the Fourteenth Dalai Lama's talk on July 13th, 1978.

The above was extracted from:
http://www.shugdensociety.info/Bernis2EN.htmlIt shows clearly from Tulku Dakpa Gyeltsen's writings that he is not sectarian or biased in anyway. He has written guru yogas for all four traditions. The 14th Dalai Lama himself mentions that Tulku Dakpa Gyeltsen has good instinctive behaviour, well studied, gentle in the mind and good ways of thinking.
Since Tulku Dakpa Gyeltsen from his writings and secret biograpahy, we can see he is a great being, how can his successor, the incarnate emanation (Dorje Shugden) become the opposite of his previous mindstream. That would oppose the law of cause and effect and also mind. A negative mind cannot spring from a positive mind.
It is very interesting to see when we study deeper the contradictions that the Dorje Shugden ban is based on.
