The 5th Dalai Lama tried to subdue the spirit but failed after a number of attempts. That was when The Great Fifth realised and praised Dorje Shugden as a Buddha. Let's fast forward to the 21st century... I have not come across at any attempts by the 14th Dalai Lama to subdue this spirit again but much has happened and is still ongoing to suppress Dorje Shugden and ban his practice. The reason for this is not that different from the time of The Great 5th. It is not rivalry, but a threat instead to the 14th Dalai Lama's life and success of his GOVERNMENT to gain back a lost nation. Now, The 14th Dalai Lama has been suppressing Dorje Shugden but his practice has been growing instead. Now, will we receive any change of proclamation from the 14th Dalai Lama regarding Dorje Shugden just like how the Great 5th changed his proclamation? The way I see it, either Dalai Lama is going to officially make a statement or nor about Dorje Shugden, this practice is still growing and benefitting so many throughout the world.

The practice of Dorje Shugden was originated in th 17th Century. The 5th Dalal Lama has recognised Dorje Shugden as an enlightened being and has praised this Protector as a Buddha. Dorje Shugden has been the Guardian of the Gelugpa Lineage since. The Sakya Lineage also has recognised Dorje Shugden as their Guardian too. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso is the main person and his followers have very strongly believed and hold the views that Dorje Shugden is an enlightened being and a Buddha as well as the Gelugpa Lineage Dharma Protector.

I understand Vajaryogini is also another form of Dorje Shugden. Dharma Protectors also have the same qualities as each other to suit people's affinity in different forms with Compassion, Wisdom and Power like Four faced Mahakala, Kalaruppa and Dorje Shugden who are emanations of Manjushri. The person who went all out to propagate the practice of Dorje Shugden is Trijang Rinpoche. And he is manifestation of Vajrayogini. Since Trijang Rinpoche is also our Lineage master in the Gelupa Tradition we should keep up with the practice of Dorje Sbhugden to keep with the flow of the Lineage so that it will not be broken and degenerate.

Dorje Shugden is a Buddha who has the nature of the qualities of Compassion, Wisdom and Power as percieved by Spiritual masters in the Gelug Tradition. And Dalal Lama although he seems to be against the practice is also using the same wisdom, compassion and power he apply to show his dislike to the people so as not to cause unhappiness and disruption in his Government as he is also the Leader of the country. And since Dalal Lama is also the manisfestation of Chenresig. With compassion he has sacrificed and absorb all bad karma in the process.
