   Dolgyal Shugden: A History   
      
   Book Description   
   Publication Date: May 2, 2014   
      
   Many visitors attending public talks and teachings of the Dalai Lama have been   
   shocked to encounter nearby crowds of angry protesters,   
   people dressed in Tibetan Buddhist monastic robes, proclaiming the Dalai Lama   
   to be a "liar," "hypocrite," "dictator," etc., and accusing   
   him of robbing them of their religious freedom.   
      
   Dolgyal Shugden: A History reveals with clear evidence, how these protests   
   have been organized by a Tibetan monk, Kelsang Gyatso, and   
   have been coordinated and populated by his followers, members of his "New   
   Kadampa Tradition." It also provides in depth research to   
   show how, though the demonstrations purport to object to the Dalai Lama's   
   repudiation of their worship of the Dolgyal Shugden,   
   considered by most Tibetans to be a mundane, somewhat demonic spirit, their   
   main aim is simply to attack the Dalai Lama by damaging   
   his reputation, in parallel with the present Chinese government's worldwide   
   attempts to do the same.   
      
   This book seeks to clarify the ignorance and misconceptions surrounding the   
   Dolgyal Shugden spirit cult and its relationship with the Dalai   
   Lamas of Tibet, and goes on to further analyze the record and development of   
   the schismatic New Kadampa Tradition, unveiling the   
   cultic structures and dogmas, the financial mechanisms, the international   
   affiliations, and the driving motivations of its leadership that   
   keep it running and expanding its missionary activities.
