多杰雄登的塑像从寺庙中被抬出来，销毁，然后碎片被扔在垃圾场。一场签名活动也在流亡政府的监督下进行。藏人们被要求签名承诺不再崇拜多杰雄登。拒绝签名的人每天生活在恐惧中。他们的姓名地址，他们孩子的姓名学校被张贴在公共场所。其他藏人向他们的房子扔石头，有时候甚至把他们赶出去然后放火烧屋。在他们一直生活的社区里，别人都不愿意和他们交流，“就像是二战前德国人对待犹太人一样”[2]。Swiss public TV在1998年的时候制作了一部纪录片[1]。一位接受采访的老喇嘛表示了不满和困惑。在纪录片还未完成前，他就被人用刀袭击，侥幸活了下来。dl喇嘛和流亡政府一直在否认暴力活动的存在：“有人在传谎言，说有人被骚扰，还有人被从政府中提名。这些案例都不是真的”。dl喇嘛在接受Swiss public TV采访的时候也加以否认。甚至在记者告诉他自己亲眼看到了暴力的受害者，他也继续否认。
Tibetans’ demand for religious freedom - Tibetan’s Dorje Shugden Conflict (www.TibetPedia.org)
"Religious prosecution", "Human violation", "Demand religious freedom". If you heard these words from a Tibetan in exile, you would think they're talking about P.R.C. Can you imagine they may refer to the Tibetan government in exile?
In December of 1996, a protest was held in India against a newly issued ban of worshipping "Dorje Shugden" (a.k.a Dholgyal), a respected religious deity Tibetans have been worshiped for 300 years. The ban was issued by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. He regarded the worshipping of such deity harmed the Tibetan cause and his personal health. Anonymous threats were spreaded against anyone who obeys his directness [1]. The Assembly of Tibetan people's Deputies also officially instructed the Shugden worshipper to make "independent" decision after they listened to the teaching of His Holiness and cleared the doubts in their minds (Jun. 1996).
The statues of Dorje Shugden were removed from temples and destroyed. A forced signature event was also held to make people promise to stop the Shugden worship [2]. Those who refused to sign lived their life in great fears. Their names and address and their Children's names and schools were posted in public. People threw stones at their houses. Sometimes their houses got burned. They were treated as outcasts in their communities. Swiss public TV filmed a documentary about the Shugden conflict in 1998 [1]. An interviewed old Lama who expressed his discontent was later attacked by a knife and barely survived. The response from Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government in exile was negative. "Some people have been spreading lies that individuals were harassed and their objects of worship seized for propitiating Shugden, and that government officials were expelled from job, etc. Not a single of these allegations were found to be true"[3]. When Dalai Lama was asked about the violence during an interview by Swiss public TV [1], he insisted that those did not happen, even so after the interviewer told him that he had seen it with his own eyes.
In the Tibetan in exile community in India, it's against the law to object Dalai Lama's teaching and decision [1]. And it's been repeated told that practicing Shugden worship would endanger His Holiness's life. Some Shugden activists were declared murderers and had to go exile again. The exiled Shugden activists often found supports in the west. They have also established their own organization to demand their right of religious freedom. The Tibetan government in exile declared that those organizations are funded and supported by the Chinese authority.
The Tibetan government in exile insisted that they didn't violated religious freedom, since religious freedom does not include the freedom of choosing which deity to worship.
On Feb 13 2008, Tibetan Government in exile tried to resolve the conflict once for all with a vote, which has been taken in 14 monasteries of Gelug establishments. Those who do not want to share spiritual and material relation with Dorje Shugden followers would pick the yellow colored vote-stick. Those who continue Dholgyal worship and who want to share spiritual and material relation with them need explanation of picking the red colored vote-stick. Coincidently, yellow is the color of Tibetan Buddhism (yellow hat religion) and red is usually regarded as the color for the communist China.
Ironically. when Dalai Lama fled China in 1959, it was Dorje Shugden's oracle that told him to run. The specific escaping routes were also told by the oracle [1]. Along the routes chosen by Dorje Shugden, U.S. military and CIA dropped numerous supplies, otherwise he and his body guards could not survive. Some of his body guard were confused after they learned Dorje Shugden was indeed a demon and was trying to harm Dalai Lama's life.
The government has been led by Dalai Lama since 1963. The deputies can be elected but the Dalai Lama is forever the highest government official. Not even a single bill has been passed against Dalai Lama and, according to an interviewed official, never will be. More on that, the passed billed has to be approved by Dalai Lama before it's effective. This again shows how important a fully democratic system is. Even the holiest and greatest living human being can be drowning in absolute power. It's unimaginable how will Dalai Lama and his government bring the Shugden conflicts from a small Indian village of 110,000 Tibetans, to a 2400,000 square kilometers land of 6 million Tibetans.

The conflict has caused many exiled Tibetan to convert back to Chinese stance. Dalai Lama started to worry that the Chinese authority would use the conflict as a political leverage. He decided to solve it once and for all. On Jan 9th, 2008, Dalai Lama proposed a solution in a democratic manner: if more than 60% of the people chose to continue the worship, the ban would be removed. On Feb 13th 2008, a vote was conducted under the supervision of the Tibetan Government in exile. It was taken place in 14 monasteries of Gelug establishments. Those who do not want to share spiritual and material relation with Dorje Shugden followers would pick the yellow colored vote-stick. But those who continue Dholgyal worship and who want to share spiritual and material relation with them need explanation of picking the red colored vote-stick [4].
