Anton,
    Interesting, I've never heard of "Shugden" until I viewed the video, so I learnt something worth knowing, thanks. These types of things are basically a traditon that can be found in most Religions. The Nicene Library of the Early Church Fathers teams with the polemics against the Gnostic of all types, and today there are a plethora of individualized Christian sects.. In Islam mainstream adherents refuse to sanctify the Sufi, and of course there is huge historic divisive separation between the Sunni and the Shiite. In Judaism there are the Traditional and the Reform branches. Buddhism has the Hinayana and Mahayana, the Tibetan branch and others. This isn't the first time a Dalai Lama repressed a non-Gelugpa sect in Tibet if you have read the origins. Declaring anathema is a tradition in religions lol!

   I don't have a lot of enthusiasm for beating a dead horse (Tibetan Tibet). a couple years ago the Dalai Lama announced to the world that he recognized the Legal possession of Tibet by China and that Tibet is now irrevocably and inseparably Chinese. I was astonished  to hear him do this. I oppose the China expansionist  grab of Tibet based upon the marriage of a Chinese Princess to the Monarch of Tibet many centuries ago. The Dalai Lama after recognizing Tibet is China now campaigned for "autonamous self rule" by Tibetans "under" Chinese Rule. The Chinese refused and instead using a most popular tactic that the Soviets used with success began repopulating Tibet with Han Chinese, soon the Tibetans will be a minority in their former country. The Dalai Lama made his capitulation  in regards to his former country from the podium of the United Nations. The United Nations formally recognizes that Tibet is now China. Most nations also do the same. The USA also recognizes Tibet is China 
now. Go on Google Earth and enter "Tibet" you will not go there, there is no border of Tibet any more only the Chinese expanded border. look and recent world maps there is no Tibet anymore to be found on them. Buy a World Almanac where is Tibet? It is very sad to me personally. But reality and the facts are indisputable.

 The Soviet transferred russian populations  to Ukriane, Georgia and many other states that were under thier hand and it is a continueing friction remaining now as seen on the stage of the world.

 The Chinese are doing the same thing in regard to Taiwan (Formosa), China never actually claimed Taiwan  at any time during all the Dynasties of China, the Island was occupied by aboriginals and pirates and thiefs for tyhe entire history of China and no Emporer dared to attempt to occupy it due to the  large dangerous population. Only when Mao came did China claim Taiwan was part of China. And the world beleived him.

Regards,
John
