The present text describes controversies connected with cult of Dorje Shugden, a deity of Tibetan Buddhism on the background of crisis of Tibetan diaspora in India. The author presents points of view of followers of Shugden and 14th Dalai Lama who banned the practice of the cult. It shows examples of intolerance and mutual attacks of Shugden’s followers and their enemies in India. The conflict is a symptom of the crisis of the Tibetan diaspora and of spirituality itself in times of domination of fundamentalists tendencies in religion and politics.
