RIP Adam Yauch

Wonder what hed have thought of the whole Tibetan movement, had he known the very people he was supporting were actually suppressing their own kind. It doesnt make sense that a person can be so for freedom of expression in their music, and revolutionising an entire genre... and then lending their fame and image to a movement that discriminates against others. I often wonder if these celebs know about the DS issue but choose to ignore, because Free Tibet is so de rigeur and DS is a "Tibetan" thing that they shouldnt meddle with.

Many around the Globe think 'Free Tibet' is a humantarian issue and is worthy and trendy if they were to participate in the cause.  Little do many realise there is a critical issue of Dorje Shugden, Dalai Lama and the Tibetan community affecting both religious and secular matters.  Even if they knew, many do not know the actual fact which are so badly twisted up conjuring the whole controversy.  How many would really care to check out the facts or have the fortune to have the correct information/educational material like most of us here.  Hence it is our responsibility to spread the news/factual information of Dorje Shugden as a corrective measure/initiative to assist others understand and have faith in Dorje Shugden.  I believe the more we do this the ban would not sustain any longer.  The more people are educated on Dorje Shugden the more CTA would appear foolish and be vulnerable.  Surely, CTA would not want to project a bad image to the world as this would not gather any benefits but make them a BIG LOSER.
