Cincinnati Oracle Appears in India

Kuten Lama, head of a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Cincinnati and leader of a Tibetan Buddhist lineage is at odds with the Dalai Lama. Last month, Kuten Lama helped to inaugurate a breakaway monastery in South India. Kuten Lama is an oracle, who takes possession of the spirit of Dorje Shugden, a deity banned by the Dalai Lama.

Devotees believe Dorje Shugden is a “wisdom Buddha” and protector, while the Dalai Lama has declared him an evil spirit. Following the Dalai Lama’s ban, Gaden Shartse Monastery in Mundgod, India, ordered its monks to sign pledges renouncing Dorje Shugden. Monks who refused to pledge were shunned and denied food and other necessities – a policy enforced in Tibetan Buddhist monasteries throughout India.

Last month, Kuten Lama helped dedicate Shar Gaden Monastery that is made up of monks who had left the larger monastery, Gaden Shartse in order to continue honoring Dorje Shugden. As a result of this separation, a wall was built between the two institutions.

Kuten Lama, abbot of Gaden Samdrupling Monastery in Colerain Township, led a group of a dozen U.S. followers to the dedication ceremony. He performed an invocation while he was there. Tibetan Buddhists believe that, during the invocation, Dorje Shugden takes over the Kuten Lama’s body and using him to convey enlightened advice and instructions.

Although the practice is ancient, the monks who preserve it are not without Media savvy. Shar Gaden Monastery has a Facebook page and posted a photograph of the invocation. During the trance, Kuten Lama wielded a sword, symbolizing the “wrathful compassion” of Dorje Shugden, severing ignorance and ego.

This video shows clear evidence of Dalai Lama issuing/enforcing the ban on Dorje Shugden.

He encourages the Monasteries to expel monks who refuse to give up this practice.

It is undemocratic for any leader to ban any form of worship in this day and age.

Not only is Dalai Lama encouraging the ban, but he praises the Monasteries for doing expelling those monks who refuse to listen. This statement from Dalai Lama has hurt the sentiments of thousands of people.

This ban has created great rifts within the Monasteries that never existed before. Dalai Lama is being ordered into New Delhi High Court in regards to this ban. The writ that has been submitted to the court was not rejected. The case is now pending and under observation.

Many have left the monasteries and formed their own all over the world. Two newly formed Monasteries who hold on steadfast to the practice of Dorje Shugden are Shar Gaden Monastery in Mundgod and Serpom Norling Monastery in Bylakuppe.
