Tibetan government's plan to take the ban into lay communities

There was held a meeting at the Tibetan local assembly. The heads of Camp no 5 and 9 suggested: the monasteries have been cleaned. The campaign of taking oath (not worshipping Shugden) must be carried out among lay public. The local head, Thupten, said: we should not in hurry now. There is a second plan. Yesterday, when I met Samdhong Rinpoche in Banglore (Karnataka State), he told me: If the monasteries are cleaned, the campaign of taking oath of not worshipping Shugden will be conducted throughout India, Nepal and Bhutan. After that, in abroad, and then gradually in Tibet.
