The Dalai Lama Respects Terrorists But Not Shugden Buddhists
The Dalai Lama said in an interview reported by the Italian daily, La Stampa, that the proper response to ISIS’s atrocities which have included beheadings, bombings and tortures is to try to respect them and try to understand them.

Testimony of a Victim of the Shugden Persecutions
This is the testimony of Kalsang Dolma, who was dragged into the controversy in 1996 when she was merely a young girl.

Looking at the benefits that have arisen from the ban, perhaps, just perhaps, the ban can even be viewed as one of Dorje Shugden’s enlightened activities, one that allows him to correct the degeneration of Lama Tsongkapa’s lineage and protect this precious doctrine for future generations, just as he swore to do many centuries ago as Duldzin Drakpa Gyeltsen. And, as ironic as it may sound, all this is thanks to the Dalai Lama…

Don’t Enroll Your Children in Shugden Monasteries
