The headquarters for the New Kadampa Tradition is in the UK, but they have a humungous number of centres around the world, so i wouldn't call them a 'small sect' :). I guess if you look at how many Buddhist centres have developed, it must be resonating with people. Yes they do have their share...
As Vajrayana practitioners, you must know that Guru samaya is crucial to our practice, yet HH the Dalai Lama has said that his teachers were wrong to practise Dorje Shugden. HH Trijang Rinpoche, his junior tutor was wrong. All the great masters who did DS practice are wrong. Many people believe...

love

If you are on facebook, do...
I was quite disappointed with this book, A Grand Deception, because i had thought it was about Dorje Shugden practice but it was more like a criticism of HH the Dalai Lama. On closer look, it did say that it was a book on the 'Ruling Lama Policies' so it did deliver what it promised, it's just...
