No it didn't. Not even remotely. Tom Send a noteboard - 17/03/2011 03:50:35 PM
The Dalai Lama said that Dorje Shugden is a detrimental spirit and asked Buddhists not to venerate him. He said "You're not going to gain any benefit from that and you should leave if you're doing it". He NEVER said "you're not Buddhist" and he NEVER forced anyone to do anything. The use of force is anathema to Tibetan Buddhism.

If a religious leader can't give advice to those who follow him, then he's not a religious leader at all.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!
