 Documents on the Dorje Shugden/NKT Controversy
A bitter controversy exists within Tibetan Buddhism on the veneration as a protector deity of Dorje Shugden (rDo rje shugs ldan), a practice rejected by the Dalai Lama and defended as essential by the Dorje Shugden Society and by the New Kadampa Tradition (NKT), headquartered in Britain and led by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
The controversy escalated with a bitter campaign by the NKT during the Dalai Lama's European visit in the Summer of 1996 and with the murder of three Dalai Lama disciples near Dharamsala, India, on February 4, 1997.
For the background of this controversy, a good starting point is the scholarly paper by David Kay, "The New Kadampa Tradition and the Continuity of Tibetan Buddhism in Transition", Journal of Contemporary Religion 12:3 (October 1997), 277-293.
