The 27 minute speech by Dalai Lama on Dorje Shugden (Tibetan)

During the recent Jangchub Lamrim teachings at Sera Monastery (December 25, 2013 to January 3, 2014) in Bylakuppe, the Dalai Lama spoke again on the issue of his banning the practice of Dorje Shugden that he initiated in 1996. It has been over 17 years since the Dalai Lama first shocked the Tibetan Buddhist world by declaring, quite out of the blue, that the ancient deity Dorje Shugden who for over three centuries has been worshipped by a large proportion of the Tibetan population as the wrathful emanation of the Buddha of Wisdom, was henceforth a demon and not to be worshipped anymore. It was the first time in modern history that a religion has been banned and the perpetrator awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. And in the years since the illegal ban was enforced, there have been tremendous upheavals within the Tibetan and Gelug community. Even as the Tibetan people were struggling to establish a life in exile, they now had to contend with either abandoning their faith which for many was all they had, or run afoul of a man who was definitely not to be crossed. Many lives were destroyed which is understandable especially when one takes into account that for most Tibetans, religion is the foundation of their life's purpose. This is especially true of monks and to ban their Buddha is to remove, with a fell swoop, their purpose for living. For years, the ban ravaged the fabric of Tibetan Buddhism that was very much defined by the devotion of a student for his teacher. And so, when the Dalai Lama proclaimed last year that he would thereafter no longer speak in public and condemn Dorje Shugden and its practitioners, many Tibetans thought that perhaps it was time to allow themselves to hope again. It is understandably extremely disappointing that the Dalai Lama should so blatantly go back on the promise he made in December last year and resume his assault on the worshippers of Dorje Shugden, setting an unfortunate example that it is acceptable for a monk not only to create disharmony within the community but also to not keep to his word given to others. To add insult to an already serious injury inflicted on the average Tibetan, the substance of what the Dalai Lama said in his most recent diatribe was recognized to be patently untrue. And for the Dalai Lama to commit such an atrocity against the Dharma during the occasion of the teachings of the Jangchup Lamrim, turning a monastery into the site of another witch-hunt, was just obscene...
