The Yellow Book by Zimey Rinpoche, with the original title: Thunder of the Stirring Black Cloud: The Oral Transmission of the Intelligent Father, was written in 1973 and first published in 1974. The book marks the culmination of the controversy between the Dalai Lama and Shugden-practitioners. In 1996 the Dalai Lama announced that Dorje Shugden was ?an evil spirit? detrimental to the cause of a free Tibet and so he began to request that those who worshiped Shugden no longer attend Tantric initiations from him. But was Dalai Lama himself a Shugden-practitioner? And are the modern Shugden sects sponsored by the Chinese Government?
