Bethlehem, PA, Day 1 - Western Shugden Society Demonstration Against Dalai Lama's Ban

Western Shugden Society

Today, in Bethlehem, 325 Tibetan and western Buddhist monks, nuns and other practitioners gathered together once again as the Western Shugden Society to stage an impassioned peaceful protest against the Dalai Lama. Protest was regarding Dalai Lama's ban of Dorje Shugden practice. This ban instigated by the Dalai Lama is causing ostracism, suffering, and disharmony. The Dalai Lama is denying religious freedom and advocating and practicing intolerance towards his own people in the Tibetan exiled communities and all Dorje Shugden practitioners in the world.
