Lopez Jr. interviewed Geshe Kelsang Gyatso to confirm whether Dorje Shugden is a spirit and the practice is a Cult. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso said both are not. And there are no mention of Dorje Shugden practice as a cult in the History of Tibetan Buddhism. The murder of Geshe Lobsang Gyatso and two young monks by Dorje Shugden followers has been named as culprits in the murder. If Dorje Shugden practice is a cult it would not have survived until now. Like there are so many cults that has been formed, they will slowly disappear and never heard of again. But because Dorje Shugden is powerful and as a Buddha he will not abandon Sentient Beings but will stay on to help them as a Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden and fulfil his promise to Dzulzin in his previous life.
