Some footage of the 1996 Demo's for religious freedom against the Dalai Lama. Despite these demo's and many requests for a dialogue on the matter, the Dalai Lama has continued to demonize practitioners of wisdom Buddha Dorje Shugden, he has openly encouraged ostracism and discrimination resulting in an apartheid within the Tibetan community and a split in the Buddhist community worldwide

Dorje Shugden practitioners then demonstrated peacefully,  so they demonstrated against this ban peacefully in the beginning, in the middle and now across Europe and the US, despite CTA saying the demonstrations are dangerous during Dalai Lama's tour of Italy, in the end the italian police discovered the ISC demonstrated not like hooligans but as Buddhists.

We have no recourse for a formal dialogue with CTA or the Dalai Lama hence demonstration is the only thing the ISC can do. No one wants to spend so much time demonstrating, if there is a way to resolve this issue amicably. The CTA would have a dialogue with CHINA who have killed their people, destroying Tibetan environment, culture, tortured the sons and daughters of Tibet.

What has Dorje Shugden done, people claim we murdered 3 monks, that is hardly anywhere close or significant to what China did when they took over Tibet, not even close. Yet they deny us to have a dialogue. The murdered 3 monks there is no substantial evidence to pin it to Dorje Shugden activities or lamas or practitioners.

Since years back till now, Dorje Shugden practitioners held peaceful protests to voice their displeasure over the lack of religious freedom. Never once did they show violence yet they were condemned by the CTA to be dangerous.

The Dalai Lama is a man of peace, spreading loving compassion to all sentient being, yet his refusal to lift the ban has caused a lot of pain and sufferings for DS practitioners. Are DS practitioners not sentient beings too?  If he has the power to enforce the ban, he has the power to lift the ban!!!!
