Dalai Lama Protests
Why we're protesting
The Western Shugden Society is protesting against the Dalai lama’s violations of religious freedom in banning the practice of Dorje Shugden and orchestrating a campaign of intimidation, humiliation, and ostracism on those who do not observe the ban.
Over the years Shugden practitioners in both the East and the West have sent many letters and petitions to the Dalai Lama requesting him to completely stop these actions of discrimination, but, giving invalid reasons, he has refused to accept our requests.
He refuses even to enter into meaningful dialog with Shugden practitioners.
Deprived of any other forum we are left with no option but to protest publicly in the hope of drawing the world’s attention to this intolerable situation.
In protesting we are exercising a democratic freedom that the Dalai Lama denies his own people. Our demonstrations are praised by the police for being well organized, peaceful, and entirely law abiding.
