(By Tsem Rinpoche)

Dear good friends around the world,

I thought I would make it simple and easy to remember so I came up with these to help you recall the qualities, abilities, benefits and and nature of Vajra Bhagawan Rudra or Dorje Shugden, the special protector emanation of Manjushri.

Although he is a fully enlightened being he manifest in worldly form in order to be closer to us and he is able to assist us quicker. There are two categories of protectors. One is mundane (unenlightened) and supramundane (enlightened). Within the mundane, it is broken down into two further categories. A mundane protector who is actually mundane and the other being one who is enlightened appearing as mundane. Dorje Shugden belongs in this category. An enlightened protector who appears in mundane form but fully enlightened.

Without much further ado, here are my latest thoughts on Dorje Shugden in easy and simple form which makes it much more convenient to recall his abilities, nature and blessings available to us.

Much good wishes,
Tsem Rinpoche

 

致全球各地的好朋友们:

为了让大家能简单和轻松地记起多杰雄登——这位文殊菩萨化现的特别护法之特质、能力、好处和本质,我特别准备了以下图文。

护法可分为两大类:第一类为世间护法(未证悟护法),另一类则是出世间护法(证悟护法)。世间护法又分为两种:一为真正的世间护法,另一种则是证悟者所化现的世间相护法。多杰雄登属于后者,也就是说祂虽然早已圆满证悟,却呈现世间相,目的是跟我们更亲近,且能更快速地帮助我们。

在下方的图文里,我采用轻松、简单的方式来表达我对多杰雄登的最新想法,好让大家更容易记起祂的能力、本质和祂所赋予我们的加持。

詹杜固仁波切

    Enlightened being operate through compassion mind, hence they will help us unconditionally but is just our negative action, created the obstacles for the enlightened being to help us.
    We have created many obstacles in this life and in our many previous lives, so to have such a powerful connection with the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden will protect us in this and future lives. Thank you very much for the sharing.

    Dear friends,

    Tibet has produced many powerful meditations, rituals and guidelines to help us gain spiritual protection, gain wisdom and higher states of consciousness. In general Tibet has produced many powerful methods for the growth of our spiritual evolution. Dorje Shugden is an angel, a saint, a powerful spiritual protector-warrior who originated 350 years ago when a highly awakened Tibetan Lama fulfilled his vows to become a special being to grant protection, wisdom, material needs, safety when travelling (normal and astral travel) and spiritual awakening. Both the Great 5th Dalai Lama and the current His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama composed short yet effective prayers to invoke upon the power and blessings of this special saint and protector. One can recite either one of the prayers that you feel suits you, anytime or even daily. When you feel a special need for help, you can recite either prayer anytime. When you are feeling down, afraid or just need a blessing, you can recite them. After reciting either invocation, it is good to chant the mantra of Dorje Shugden: Om Benza Wiki Bitana Soha.

    You do not have to be a Buddhist or practitioner of any religion to invoke upon the blessings and protection of this special enlightened and awakened angel Dorje Shugden. He helps all without discrimination or bias as he is filled with compassion and love. Divinity has no boundaries, they help all who call upon them.

    Enclosed are the prayers in English, Chinese and Tibetan.

    May you be safe, protected and blessed.

    “The 4th Zhabdrung Rinpoche of Bhutan and Dorje Shugden” blog post which was published June 8, 2018 already has exactly at the moment 152,744 views!! Over 150k views!!! Amazing!! The views will keep growing as time elapses of course.

    This indicates many Bhutanse and Buddhists around the world will now know that Dorje Shugden is connected to Bhutan and their Kagyu Lineage. Dorje Shugden was promoted by the highest lama of Bhutan namely the 4th Zhabdrung Rinpoche himself. So Dorje Shugden will help and protect anyone and is not sectarian as they accuse him to be. People in the Kagyu school of Buddhism also practised Dorje Shugden and Dorje Shugden assisted them lovingly. Dorje Shugden being an emanation of Manjushri will help anyone who calls upon him regardless of their background and religion.

    Good job to our writers, researchers, editors, technical team, supporting team and Kechara people who promoted this blog post on social media. Now more will come to understand how pervasive Dorje Shugden is in all the lineages of Tibetan Buddhism although the Tibetan leadership in-exile tries to hide this truth. Thank you everyone for promoting Dorje Shugden to benefit many. We were all very harmonious before the unethical ban against Dorje Shugden practitioners. Since the inception of the ban in 1996, there has been no benefits and instead so much disharmony among Tibetan Buddhists around the world. Many hundreds have spoken up about this point where we want harmony back. There should never be a ban against any spiritual practice.

    于2018年6月8日发表的《不丹国第四世夏仲仁波切与多杰雄登》的博文至今已经有 152,744次的浏览量!!也就是超过了15万次的浏览量!!这个数字肯定还会随着时间而增长。

    这表示很多不丹人和全世界的佛教徒现在已经知道了多杰雄登和不丹以及他们的噶举派传承是有紧密联系的。多杰雄登是被不丹的最高级别的喇嘛夏仲仁波切本身所推崇的。这显示了多杰雄登是会帮助和保护任何人的,而祂不是像他人所指控那样的充满宗派主义。佛教的噶举派的修行者也修持多杰雄登,而多杰雄登也很怀爱地帮助他们。多杰雄登是文殊菩萨的化身,祂将无视任何宗教和背景地去帮助任何召唤祈请祂的人们。

    我们的写作、搜集资料,编辑、技术、辅助等的人员们和推广这篇博文的克切拉人们,你们做得好!虽然流亡藏人领袖们尝试掩盖事实,但现在更多的人将了解到多杰雄登在所有藏传佛教的传承中是多么的普及了。感谢大家努力推广多杰雄登以造福大众。在这个不道德的多杰雄登禁令出现之前,我们都是很和谐融洽的。自从禁令在1996年开始之后,它为全世界的藏传佛教徒没有带来任何利益,而只有更多的不和谐。成千上万的人已经对该禁令发声,要求重建和谐。对于任何心灵修行,是从来就不该有任何禁令的。

    His Eminence Kyabje Dagom Rinpoche’s incarnation is in Lhasa visiting. He is visiting the 350-year-old Trode Khangsar chapel dedicated to Dorje Shugden. He is paying homage to the powerful statue of Dorje Shugden housed in this sacred chapel. Both the chapel and statue of Dorje Shugden were commissioned by His Holiness the 5th Dalai Lama. The Great 5th Dalai Lama also composed a prayer to be recited daily to Dorje Shugden.

    Dagom Rinpoche’s previous lives were great masters, scholars and practitioners of Dorje Shugden. Now this new incarnation of Dagom Rinpoche is offering gold on the face of Dorje Shugden in homage and worship to this very sacred statue of Dorje Shugden housed in Lhasa for the last 350 years. This is a very traditional Tibetan method of paying homage to holy images, which is by offering gold with prayers.

    The Tibetan leadership wrongly says if you practise Dorje Shugden you will take rebirth into the three lower realms. Hundreds of lamas from the Sakya, Kagyu and Gelugpa schools of Buddhism have practised Dorje Shugden and their incarnations returned. Many of the incarnations are recognised by His Holiness the Dalai Lama himself. So this shows if you practise Dorje Shugden, only benefits come and no harm will come. The very fact Dagom Rinpoche’s incarnation is back, is clear evidence that Dorje Shugden’s practice is beneficial.

    May Dagom Rinpoche’s current incarnation live a very long life.

    尊贵的扎贡仁波切的现任转世正在拜访拉萨。他拜访了一座供奉给多杰雄登并且拥有350年历史的护法殿”布旦康萨”。他在向这座神圣护法殿里的强大多杰雄登像顶礼。该座护法殿和多杰雄登圣像是由第五世达赖喇嘛指示而造的。伟大的第五世达赖喇嘛也亲笔撰写了多杰雄登的每日祈愿文。

    扎贡仁波切的前几世都是伟大的上师,学者兼多杰雄登的修持者。现在扎贡仁波切的现任转世在为这尊已经安奉在拉萨350年并且非常神圣的多杰雄登圣像的脸上供养金漆,以示顶礼和膜拜。这种供养金并祈愿的做法是西藏为圣像顶礼非常传统的做法。

    流亡藏人领袖们说如果你修持多杰雄登就将投生三恶道,那是错误的。佛教派系——萨迦派、噶举派、格鲁派的上百名喇嘛们都修持了多杰雄登,而且他们也都转世回来了,而其中有很多转世还是达赖喇嘛亲自认证的。这明显显示了如果你修持多杰雄登,是百利无一弊的。扎贡仁波切转世回来了,就已经是很确凿的证据显示多杰雄登的修持是有利的。

    愿今世的扎贡仁波切健康长寿。

    Divination (‘mo’) Text by Dorje Shugden

    This is an important divination (‘mo’) text composed by Dorje Shugden himself. Dorje Shugden took trance of the Choyang Dulzin oracle lama, the senior oracle of Gaden Shartse Monastery, and instantly on the spot composed this text within two hours.

    The divination text contains information on how to use dice to do divination for the future and is known to be highly accurate. When practitioners use this text, they will be in direct contact with Dorje Shugden to get answers to questions about the future. It is for those who have good samaya with Dorje Shugden and are free of the eight worldly dharmas to be of benefit to others in divining the future.

    The Library of Tibetan Works and Archives is in Dharamsala, which is broken into two parts. Upper Dharamsala is where the Dalai Lama’s palace is located with his audience room and main prayer hall. It is also the location of the Dialectics School, Gaden Shartse’s guesthouse, restaurants, tourist hotels and main tourist areas.

    A short ride down takes you to the lower part of Dharamsala where the Tibetan government is located. It is the location of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile, Nechung monastery, the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives, the Tibetan arts centre…it’s all in one area. And the reason why it’s split into upper and lower Dharamsala is because the area is mountainous.

    The Library of Tibetan Works and Archives was established by the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government to preserve all the ancient texts – both secular and spiritual – of Tibet and in the process, translate them into various languages like English. This book, Overview of Buddhist Tantra, by Panchen Sonam Drakpa was one of the books translated into English. What’s very interesting is that the book very clearly says that Panchen Sonam Drakpa’s previous life is Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen, one of the five main disciples of Lama Tsongkhapa. It also says that after that, he was Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen.

    So the book is basically saying that Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen, Panchen Sonam Drakpa and Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen – the three Drakpas – are of the same mindstream.

    Now that’s very peculiar because if Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen’s previous life is Panchen Sonam Drakpa, the renowned composer of 45 volumes of Dharma texts, the abbot of three monasteries AND the 15th Gaden Tripa, the holder of Lama Tsongkhapa’s throne…if that’s the case, how can Panchen Sonam Drakpa take rebirth as Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen and become an evil spirit and have a negative mind?

    Prior to Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen, he was Panchen Sonam Drakpa and before that, he was Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen, a heart disciple of Lama Tsongkhapa. How can a heart disciple of Lama Tsongkhapa reincarnate as the erudite master Panchen Sonam Drakpa, and then die and reincarnate as Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen…and then Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen, due to a bad and negative prayer, become the evil spirit Dorje Shugden? How is that possible? Logically, it’s not.

    What’s incredible is that all of this was printed by the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives under the Dalai Lama’s guidance. They contradict themselves because on one hand, the Tibetan leaders say Dorje Shugden is an evil spirit. On the other hand they’re printing a book saying that Panchen Sonam Drakpa, whose later incarnation became Dorje Shugden, is of this illustrious mindstream.

    So how can the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives, which is under the auspices of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government, print the translation of a book composed by the previous incarnation of a so-called evil spirit? How can they then say in the book that Panchen Sonam Drakpa’s previous life is Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen, and his next life was Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen?

    Prior to the Dorje Shugden ban and controversy, everyone in Tibet knew that Dorje Shugden is Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen, that Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen is Panchen Sonam Drakpa, and that Panchen Sonam Drakpa is Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen. The three Drakpas, they are one mindstream emanating again and again to benefit other beings.

    And as we all know, Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen became Dorje Shugden so it totally doesn’t make sense to call him an evil spirit, then highlight all of his previous lives as erudite masters, and publish all of this information under their own library. So you can see the contradictions. You can read all of this for yourself in Overview of Buddhist Tantra, which was printed by the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives.

    OVERVIEW OF BUDDHIST TANTRA

    GENERAL PRESENTATION OF THE CLASSES OF TANTRA,
    CAPTIVATING THE MINDS OF THE FORTUNATE ONES

    rgyud sde spyi’i rnam par bzhag pa
    skal bzang gi yid ‘phrog ces bya ba bzhugs so

    BY
    PANCHEN SONAM DRAGPA
    (Pan-chen bSod-nams grags-pa, 1478-1554)

    O Choje Sonam Dragpa Pel! (Chos-rje bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal!)
    In the vast expanse of Your bodhi-mind,
    The mind that the Buddhas have lauded for as many as
    one hundred times,
    You have developed “merit” shining like the sun.
    Through Your skill in learning, debate and writing,
    As illuminating as one hundred thousand sun rays,
    You have developed in You a complete knowledge of
    the entire sutras and tantras,
    Resembling a garden of flowers in full bloom.
    The power of Your speech is like the sun;
    The fame of your name has reached the three realms of
    this world.
    O Sonam Dragpa, the teacher of teachers!
    I bow down at your feet.

    In the vast garden of Your great teachings,
    The intelligent young people gather for
    The ‘six ultimates’ and the ‘four modes of transmission,’
    Just as they are attracted to
    The one hundred thousand types of nectar
    Dripping from a flower of one hundred petals.
    May I be able to experience
    The taste of the secret tantra!

    Panchen Choje Sonam Dragpa Pel (Panchen Chos-rje bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal), the holder of sutra and Vajrayana teachings, was a master whose outstanding learning and spiritual accomplishments are well known by all the learned ones in Tibet. His first incarnation came in the form of one of the five prestigious disciples of Lord Tsongkhapa (Tsong-kha-pa) and became known as Vinaya Holder (Dulzin) Dragpa Gyaltsen (Gragspa rgyal-mtshan). Then came Panchen Sonam Dragpa Pel (Panchen bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal), the author of the present text. The next was Nagri Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen (mNga’-ris sPrul-sku Grags-pa rgyal-mtshan). In this way, a line of his incarnations, each with the Dragpa (gragspa) surname, followed successively.

    Panchen Sonam Dragpa Pel (Panchen bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal) was born in the 14th century in Tsetang (rTsed-thang) in the Lhoka (Lho-kha) region of Central Tibet. He entered the great seat of learning, Sera Thekchenling (Se-ra theg-chen-gling) monastic university, where he became the personal disciple of spiritual master Donyo Dangden (Dhon-yod dang-ldan) and His Holiness the Second Dalai Lama Gedun Gyatso (dGe-‘dun rgya-mtsho). Under them, he studied the entire teachings of sutra, tantra and their commentaries, and became known for his outstanding learning. He also received from them the empowerments, reading transmissions, guides and instructions of the entire body of spiritual training. On becoming the fully blessed one, the Dalai Lama appointed him the abbot of the Loseling (Blo-gsalgling) college, one of the four colleges of Drepung (‘Bras-dpung)- the most prestigious monastic university in Tibet before 1959, with over 10,000 monks on its register. He continued to be the abbot of this college for the next six years; and after him the tenure for each of his successors in this position was fixed for a period of six years, a rule that is followed even today.

    He was then appointed the head of the Gelugpa (dGe-lugs-pa) order, the throne holder of Gaden (dGa’-ldan), thus becoming the 15th regent of Lord Tsongkhapa (Tsong-khapa), the second Buddha. In his eulogy to him, Khedrub Gelek Pelsang (mKhas-grub dGe-legs dpal- bzang) says:

    O Lama, the second successor of the Unsubduable One,
    The regent of the Lord of Dharma,
    You are the one who made the virtuous qualities thrive;
    You are the one who ascended to the golden throne uplifted
    by the fearless lions.
    May Your success thrive forever!

    He continued to be the throne holder for the next seven years, during which time he promoted the spread of Lord Tsongkhapa’s (Tsong-kha-pa) precious teachings, the Gelug (dGe-lugs) tradition, across the land in all directions. He also paid special attention to the practice of monastic rules and the learning and meditation of Buddhism in the monasteries such as Sera (Se-ra), Drepung (‘Bras-spungs), Kyomolung (sKyo-mo-lung), Phagmo Chode (Phag-mo chos-sde), Nyeding (Nye-sdings), Ödna (’Od-sna) and Chöde Rinchen (Chos-sde rin-chen) etc. and improved them to a great extent. He taught the Third Dalai Lama Sonam Gyatso (bSod-nams rGya-mtsho) as the latter’s spiritual master. It was from him that the Dalai Lama received the name Sonam (bSod-nams).

    His contributions in the literary field are enormous; and, indeed, they are the most valuable of all his contributions. Tsongkhapa (Tsong-kha-pa) has rightly said:

    Of all one’s deeds,
    The ‘deeds of speech’ are the most valuable.

    Panchen Sonam Dragpa Pel (Panchen bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal) was a person with an extraordinary talent for teaching, debate and writing. In his colophon to Bu mey chi don zab don sel wey dron mey (dBu ma’i spyi don zab don gsal ba’i sgron me), he wrote:

    In the field of teaching, I am [next to none!] Knowing that
    I would outdo them in this field, Arya Asanga and his
    brother transmigrated into another realm.

    In the field of debate, I am [next to none!] Knowing that
    I would find out the areas they had contradicted and
    that I would examine them and put forth my arguments,
    the logician Dignaga (Digh-naga) and Dharmakirti tactfully
    bypassed me.

    In the field of writing, I am [next to none!] [In my eyes,]
    Arya-sura was just good at spreading the works, which
    are like ‘disputes~ between an insect and a field.’

    I am the learned man. Peerless in the field of teaching,
    debate and writing!

    For some this passage might sound utterly nonsensical, but the most learned master of our age, the talented teacher, logician and writer, the late tutor to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Yongdzin Trijang Dorjechang (Yongs-‘dzin Khri-byang rDorje-‘Chang), said: “Now, some people of our time, who consider themselves learned scholars, think that this is utter nonsense; but they are wrong.”

    Panchen Sonam Dragpa Pel (Panchen bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal) wrote over 45 volumes of books dealing with many different subjects, such as the commentaries on the sutras and tantras, the saddhana manuals of the tutelary deities, history, religious history and so forth. Among these, one that is very important for all who wish to learn and meditate on the path-of the practical aspect of Buddhism in general and that of Vajrayana in particular is the Leg shey gyu de chi nam par shagpa kelsang gi yi trod (Legs bshad rgyud sde spyi’i rnam par bzhag pa skal bzang gi yid ‘phrod). In this book, he has explained precisely how the four tantras differ from one another. He has also fully described the stages of the two spontaneous path practices of the Vajrayana tradition, dealing with the ‘six ultimates’ and the ‘four modes of transmission’, thus interpreting without mistake the intention of Adhi-Buddha Vajradhara.

    May the reprint of this text, which the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives is publishing herewith, bring peace and happiness in this world!

    All enlightened beings are worthy of homage and worship. They are the best beings to take refuge in and we should offer them our prayers as we can put our full confidence in them. Of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, I personally find that Manjushri is extremely important. This is because what keeps us in samsara (cyclic rebirth) is our total ignorance and misunderstanding of the reality of existence. What is necessary to penetrate this deep ignorance that keeps us bound in a perpetual state of reincarnation is wisdom. We need many types of wisdom which can be acquired by relying on Manjushri as our yidam (meditational deity). By focusing on his meditation, practice, mantra and path we can gain wisdom in order to have the tool to penetrate the reality of existence. Therefore, Manjushri is an extremely important Buddha for us to focus on and take refuge in.

    每一位觉者都能成为我们朝拜、膜拜的对象。他们是我们至高、至好的皈依,我们应该向他们做祈请,并且对他们生起全然的信念。在众佛菩萨之中,我个人认为文殊菩萨极为重要。这是因为使我们身陷娑婆(轮回)的是我们自身的无明,以及对实相的曲解。智慧是一种必要,它能穿透我们深不见底的无明,那个使我们受困于无止境投生的无明。我们需要多种智慧,而依止文殊菩萨作为我们的本尊,即能使我们成就多种智慧。透过文殊菩萨的观想、修持法门、心咒及修行道路,我们能成就智慧,拥有了知实相的“器具”。故此,专注于文殊菩萨的修持法门、皈依他,对我们而言都极为重要。

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing these memes. At one glance we can learn the benefits of Dorje Shugden. Dorje Shugden is an emanation of Buddha Manjushri, therefore he is fully enlightened. He emanates in the form of a Deva god so he can be closer to us to help us.

    People say Dorje Shugden is a demon if we practice him we will take rebirth in hell. They say when we first started to do his practice, everything will be very good. What we wish for will come true. But if we stop his practice, he will get angry and harm us.

    This is not true. Why? If Dorje Shugden is a demon, how come no lama can subdue him? There are many rituals in Tibetan Buddhism that can subdue a demon and bind them with an oath. A demon cannot be more powerful than a Buddha. When we practice Dorje Shugden, he gives us protection, he will help us remove our obstacles so everything will be good for us. When we stop practicing him, we will not have the protection shield anymore and our negative karmas can ripen anytime. Hence, the misfortunes we encounter is the result of our karmas, not because Dorje Shugden wants to punish us.

    Many high lamas are Dorje Shugden practitioners if the practice is good for them, it will good for us too.

    A Daily Request for Wealth, Peace and Protection

    Composed by H.E. Tsem Rinpoche

    In the heavens there are myriad manifestations of the divine. All those manifestations specifically show us different aspects of divinity in order to be of benefit to all living beings. All the rupakaya forms of the divine have compassion, skillful means and wisdom. We invoke upon them whether we are happy, sad, down, lost, fulfilled, confused, empty, and during the whole range of emotions we constantly experience due to an untrained mind.

    Understanding our nature, Great Wisdom Being Dorje Shugden, therefore all the more so, please hold us close to your bosom as an only child to a parent.

    Though the manifestations of the divine need no offerings and gifts from us, we offer you supreme Manjushri Dorje Shugden a libation of tea, incense and mantras, in order to ask you to bless us, to be a part of our lives, to abide in our dwellings and to give us signs, omens and portents of both good and bad. When the negative arises, quell them immediately. Please increase the positive for my weary and worn mind as I lay my hopes in you.

    When difficulties, problems and confusion arise, we ask you, who is but the culmination of all that is powerful, holy and omniscient to bless myself, family, loved ones, environment and even my pets. May I see wisdom, find hope, and be at peace.

    I request you, O Divine Bhagavān Dorje Shugden, who wears a round dome hat and the three robes of a saffroned bhikshu, who wields a sword of liberty, justice and wisdom and clutches a wish-fulfilling jewel, who rides on a supreme lion of subjugation of all that is negative, to fulfill my wishes. I understand my wishes may not be the best, so I surrender to your wisdom for the outcome though it may not be what I have in mind. Please bless myself and everyone that we may enter into the supreme city of liberation.

    Great Bhagavān Dorje Shugden, I request you sincerely from my heart to be a part of my life, bless my home, and grant me wisdom, solace and comfort, that I might be of service to others without agenda, and that I may focus out onto others and not be fixated on myself, creating more problems for all that I hold dear.

    Bless me to become kinder, wiser, more compassionate, tolerant and very forgiving to all those who hurt and love me. In order to become close to you, Dorje Shugden, we must surrender the banal. We must abandon fixed views, projections and rigidity. Lastly, in my final moment when I leave this plane of existence, only the positive actions I have done will matter as everything and everyone will be left behind. Let me realise this and act upon this now! At this crucial moment, please may I have a vision of yourself, the powerful and merciful Dorje Shugden, to take me to where I may course in the sky to continue my journey of spiritual waxing.

    I offer you saffron-coloured tea and my faith to fulfill my prayers and gain siddhis. By reciting your mantra, may healing, peace, love, long life, protection and perfect view of sunyata arise.

    Mantra of fulfillment, peace and wisdom:

    OM BENZA WIKI BITANA SOHA

    (It is good to recite this mantra daily as much as you like or your timing allows.)

    I dedicate this supreme heartfelt prayer to the all-knowing Celestial and Supreme Protector Dorje Shugden, that I may quickly become a being of light, compassion, love and enlightenment.

    Please play the audio included here to follow along with the prayer.

    My encounter with Dorje Shugden only happened last year. Since then, been hearing many stories about people who have benefited from Dorje Shugden’s blessing. I personally have benefited from Dorje Shugden’s blessings. I don’t always on the look out at the miracles but i believe that whenever needed, Dorje Shugden is always there for me. When we are sincere in practising and believe in Dorje Shugden, he will always be by our side. At times when I do hear people saying that some of their prayers were not yet answered, in my mind I thought, maybe Dorje Shugden has better plans for them and that is why things worked out the way it is. We just have to trust and believe wholeheartedly in both our Guru and Dorje Shugden. Thank you Rinpoche for the beautiful pictures and simple way of reminding us the benefits of Dorje Shugden.

  14. Julia Tan on Oct 4, 2018 at 12:59 am

    Want to talk about how beneficial Dorje Shugden is? Ever since my beloved Guru given me Dorje Shugden practice, my life has been great all the way. He not only helped me overcome obstacles, also made my wishes come true. This happened not only once or twice but many times.

    Often people called him wealth god. Obviously there’s a reason for it. But remember his mission is to protect Lama Tsongkhapa teachings hence helping us to progress in our spiritual path is his main job. In order to do so, He needs to actually cover and protect you from everything which included your family in your lives. Yes life after life that’s his promise until we achieve enlightenment. Dorje Shugden is here to protect and giving you his blessings when u have faith in Him.

    I’m grateful to my guru who gave me his protector Dorje Shugden to me just like his guru did the same to him. It’s a tradition, it’s lineage and it’s a legend. It has to last and pass down to our children so that we know they will be ok. We have to preserve Dorje Shugden practice for the sake of all sentient being.

  15. James on Oct 3, 2018 at 10:32 pm

    I found DS just recently & the experience has been positive & rewarding. A question was thrown to me by a Pastor while we were discussing on this topic, what can i do for DS? Since I’ve been truly blessed, filled with lots of love, not to mention all the protections DS had showered. My answer was to practice dharma. I wish to spread/share my experiences with others so they will get to know the goodness of DS & his blessings.

  16. Pastor Chia on Oct 3, 2018 at 8:30 am

    I never have any doubt about Dorje Shugden ability to help sentient being who are suffering due to karmic effect. As fully enlightenment protector ,who have faith with him will get help automatically. Dorje Shugden bring no harm to others and who are close samaya to lama and three jewels, he will protect them not going to three lower relm and future life until we acheive enlightenment same like him.

  17. Tek Lee on Oct 3, 2018 at 8:27 am

    Personally, I have experienced Dorje Shugden power, and assistance in my daily life before. I believe many Kecharians, even not Kecharians also experience it. Dorje Shugden is a Buddha, he will help and benefit anyone who need assistance, without needing pay back or any return. As a practitioner, since he has assistance and benefit us in many ways, we need to have faith, full trust and in fact surrender all to Dorje Shugden. Although he doesn’t ask for any pay back or return, what we can do in our part is to spread and promote Dorje Shugden, plea and urge to lift the ban, so that many more people will be benefited. And the most important thing is, without our Guru, we would never came across and know about Dorje Shugden. Thank you Rinpoche. ??

  18. Mingwen on Oct 3, 2018 at 7:42 am

    Miracles would happen without us knowing..

    It’s not necessary to be what we expected but the result will be the best for the individual because enlightened beings, in my case, the guardian of the Buddha teaching, Dorje Shugden will take appropriate actions to help us with his pure wisdom & compassion.

  19. June Kang on Oct 3, 2018 at 6:52 am

    Many of us in Kechara had the experience that Dorje Shugden benefited us including myself. Dorje Shugden is a real Dharma Protector who always advised us to practice Dharma and transform our mind and benefit others, you can read his Year 2018 advice here https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/current-affairs/dorje-shugdens-advice-for-the-new-year-2018.html And his message is consistent and practical. Dorje Shugden never ask anything from us except asked us practice Dharma, transform our mind so that we can develop clarity of mind and wisdom to push our spiritual practice to another level. We are indeed very fortunate to have met Dorje Shugden through the true compassion of our guru, H.E. Tsem Rinpoche.

  20. Vivian Ong on Oct 3, 2018 at 1:08 am

    Dorje Shugden is an enlightened being. Dorje Shugden is a Buddha. Nothing can be done to destroy a Buddha or an enlightened being. Dorje Shugden is always swift in assisting when he is called upon. I have witnessed many incidents that Dorje Shugden has helped my family member and also including myself. I’m really thankful to my Guru for giving us this practice. May Dorje Shugden’s practice benefit even more people in years to come and until enlightenment.

  21. Pastor Henry Ooi on Oct 3, 2018 at 1:05 am

    Dorje Shugden has benefitted me and my family, and many people in Kechara and outside of Kechara. All of us have very good and positive experiences, and assistance from Dorje Shugden. To have all of us recount our experiences may perhaps be turned into a thick book. Whatever other people say badly about Dorje Shugden does not and will not change our thoughts and mind negatively because we have received care and love through his great compassion and wisdom. In return, Dorje Shugden would be very pleased when we have changed and become a better person, to benefit ourselves and others. This would not be possible without our guru, Kyabje Tsem Rinpoche, who out of great care and compassion introduced Dorje Shugden to us.

  22. nicholas on Oct 3, 2018 at 12:38 am

    Dorje Shugden is an enlightened being that will help anyone. By saying so we should create the condition to allow this supreme being to help us. Many time we heard people say that why they didn’t get help or blessing from this deity or that deity but we never thought of that the problem is not them but is us. Enlightened being operate through compassion mind, hence they will help us unconditionally but is just our negative action, created the obstacles for the enlightened being to help us. We have to play our part in order to be able to get help just like we are sick and need medication from the doctor. The doctor can prescribe the best medicine for us but if we don’t take the effort to see the doctor or doing things that against what the doctor said, how could us be heal?

    There are so many account and testimonial on how Dorje Shugden helped so many people. There is no doubt of his capabilities but is just on our side how bad we want him to help us.

  23. Andrea Lai on Oct 3, 2018 at 12:09 am

    I’m really grateful to have close faith with Dorje Shugden. There is a timed, I sudden feel protection like a shield around me while I’m back from my work. Though the distance from my work to home wasn’t very far, the feeling of protected and been watched over was strong as I could sense it. I knew He was there for me for some reason I guessed and when I look up to the sky, I saw under glimmer of the moon, a large cloud form a feature of Dorje Shugden! I was astonished as this is how a protector showing himself to me thru this way. From that day onwards, I truly believe of his existing and in order to repay back, our mind transformation to be better person and share to people around us of the benefits of this Dharma Protector for all time. Thank you to my kind Guru for introducing Dorje Shugden to us and get us connected with dharma.
    Humbly,
    Andrea ?

  24. Justin on Oct 2, 2018 at 11:54 pm

    Dorje Shugden is no stranger to the people who got to know about Him. Dorje Shugden is very well known to perform miracles in fact to many. I am one of them in fact who are forever indebted by the help He has kindly rendered to me which I am forever thankful to. I not only benefited from my prayers being answered but also my understanding towards Dharmic subject has also increased. I hope Dorje Shugden will be made available to all other people in the world so that they can receive the same benefits that I am receiving right now. Well, I don’t understand why the Tibetan Leadership kept saying that Dorje Shugden is an evil practice and should be refrained as it will harm the Dalai Lama, but from my experience it is totally the opposite. Not only this practice is being done by the High Lama and Holy Masters in all of the Tibetan Buddhism, but also majority of the Sangha I have come across, it is impossible the highly attained masters won’t know Dorje Shugden is an evil spirit as per claimed.

  25. pammie yap on Oct 2, 2018 at 10:42 pm

    Dorje Shugden has been helping my family and I countless times. Recently He helped a lot as I was facing some obstacles and difficulties. I feel super grateful and blessed to have a protector practice given by our precious Guru to help us in any situation. And I know that there are also countless other times that He was there protecting my family and I. Not only is He there for our mundane needs but most importantly, He is always there to help us further on our spiritual path so long as we have faith in Him. In return, I offer Him my mind transformation and always aspire to be better in order to benefit others. With His wisdom and compassion for others, I have no doubt that He is truly an Enlightened being, always benefitting others.

    In the emerald forest there lies magical beings and powerful entities of old. There are beautiful gentle creatures of the forest such as deers, rabbits, owls and so on. Faeries, little people, elves, dwarves, trolls and other magnificent worldly and other-worldly beings of mystical origins who nurture and look over the natural world call this place their home. These supernatural beings, who remain hidden to ordinary view and are rarely seen together, have gathered to herald the arrival of the World Peace Guardian Dorje Shugden within the ethereal realm. Paying homage to the divine king they welcome him, the supreme being whose body shines with the light of magnificence and abides in benevolent wisdom. He who has come from the pinnacle of the celestial dimensions, he has the dominion over men and gods. All beings in this and other worlds have gathered to pay homage and to receive blessings, abundance and counsel.

    Shugden the divine king, at last has drawn near,
    He offers a new life so clear,
    With a silent prayer he offers the golden stair,
    Sing praises, does the emerald forest all cheer.

    COMPASSION at its best: His Holiness the Dalai Lama explained in Ladakh, 31 July 2018:

    “Usually at the beginning of an empowerment there is a ritual to drive away interferences. But I no longer feel it’s consistent to regard some beings as evil forces. At the start of each day I cultivate altruism, but in the evening we say, ‘May the evil forces be driven away.’ There seems to be a contradiction here that I’m no longer keen to comply with. I’m not highly realized, but I have great confidence in the power of Bodhichitta.”

    Source: https://bit.ly/2wVsqSb

    ———————————————-

    This latest statement by His Holiness the Dalai Lama is excellent. I fully believe in his compassion and I hope he will fully implement it.

    All negative beings take rebirth with negative minds due to deep attachments. The attachments result in negative states of rebirth and angry minds that carry out harmful actions, like spirits or hungry ghosts who can be very bothersome because they are very angry as they died in the state of attachment in their former rebirths.

    Indeed we need to generate compassion towards these beings, especially the formless type, as it would be the best remedy to stop their harm. We can recite mantras with love and bless them with it. While reciting prayers, we can meditate on them being at peace. When we generate compassion towards these harmful interferences of the formless type, many of them will calm down and stop their harm and even go away. Some of them, you can talk to them and subdue their harm and they will stop harming completely if they feel your love. That is how you can help them.

    Many high masters of India and Tibet generated great compassion towards certain ghosts, spirits or interferers and subdued them in this manner and even made them into protectors of regions. I’ve witnessed this with one of my lamas where he subdued a female spirit that crossed over the Himalayas. After making the spirit promise it will not harm others, my lama gave the spirit a drink to seal the promise.

    Since the Dalai Lama has manifested saying Dorje Shugden is negative (although many high lamas disagree), then he can apply this method to Dorje Shugden. He can ‘subdue’ Dorje Shugden by generating tremendous love, prayers and talking nice to Dorje Shugden who will be ‘subdued’. Then people are henceforth ‘free’ to practice Dorje Shugden without more discrimination, segregation and being called degrading names for practicing this protector.

    Give peace a chance. His Holiness the Dalai Lama can generate great love towards Dorje Shugden and all the hundreds of thousands of Dorje Shugden practitioners that love the Dalai Lama and miss him like I do. May His Holiness the Dalai Lama bring peace and heal the rift with Dorje Shugden practitioners.

    May His Holiness live very long and always be healthy,

    These memes really show in a blink of an eye the powerful and manyfold qualities which Dorje Shugden can bless us with. And the best is that we can never go wrong with Dorje Shugden as He is a Buddha and will only benefit us on our spiritual path.

    We have created many obstacles in this life and in our many previous lives, so to have such a powerful connection with the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden will protect us in this and future lives.

    Thank you Rinpoche for simplifying the descriptions, benefits and qualities of Dorje Shugden for the benefit of all practitioners, especially for those who are new with Dorje Shugden. The increasing number of Dorje Shugden practitioners worldwide is mainly because of Dorje Shugden is an emanation of Buddha Manjushri, who does not harm any sentient beings but able to provide effective assistance to the practitioners with conducive conditions and clear our obstacles ahead to practise Buddhadharma smoothly ever since Dorje Shugden arose as enlightened Dharma Protector at nearest to our time, which is 400 years ago.

    Dorje Shugden is full of compassion and altruism, to bless and protect anyone who calls upon Him through prayer and mantra recitations. Hence, Dorje Shugden cannot be destroyed by any mean because Dorje Shugden is free from karmic effect as He is already one with Buddha’s nature. All the previous incarnations of Dorje Shugden were highly attained masters, Mahasiddhas, great patrons of Buddhism and Buddhist scholars such as Mahasiddha Birwapa, Thonmi Sambhota, Tibetan King Trisong Detsen, Mahasiddha Naropa, Pandita Akarmati, Lotsawa Loden Sherab, Sakya Pandita, Buton Rinchen Drub, Shakya Shri Bhadra, Dulzin Drakpa Gyeltsen, Emperor Kangxi, Panchen Sonam Drakpa and Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen. Hence, we can fully rely on Dorje Shugden to guide us on our spiritual path that eventually can help us to realize higher attainments and achieve enlightenment ultimately amid of current degenerate age. Below is the link leads to more information about Dorje Shugden, who is the Protector of our time and ever ready to assist and protect anyone regardless coming from different background, different geographical area, different races or different cultures.

    https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/dorje-shugden.html

    May the ban of Dorje Shugden will be officially lifted by the ever compassionate His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama very soon to end the sufferings endured by many Dorje Shugden practitioners and allow for the growth of Dharma.

    Humbly with folded hands,

    For the first time available, Dorje Shugden and his entourage of 32 asssistants of his mandala.

    Dorje Shugden is a powerful protector deity who is also an emanation of Manjushri, a wisdom bestowing Buddha. Therefore, he has great ability to help us to progress further on the spiritual path. He does this by helping us to overcome obstacles and problems for the modern individual.

    Due to his enlightened nature, Dorje Shugden is able to manifest 32 deities and within the same abode resides Setrap and Kache Marpo:-

    1. 5 Dorje Shugden families or emanations. They consists of the following:-

    – Dulzin Dorje Shugden, which performs activities to eliminate inner and outer obstacles.
    – Shize, which performs activities to pacify all illnesses and disease.
    – Gyenze, which performs activities to increase all desirable material and spiritual wealth.
    – Wangze, which performs activities to control difficult people and circumstances.
    – Trakze, which performs activities to wrathfully eliminate all insurmountable obstacles and life-threatening situations.

    2. 9 Mothers. They represent protection of the five senses and developing control of the four elements. These are all attributes that signify their ability to assist tantric practitioners with their higher meditations.

    3. 8 Guiding Monks. They represent the Eight Great Bodhisattvas (Avalokitesvara, Manjushri, Vajrapani, Samantabhadra, Maitreya, Kshitigarbha, Akashagarbha, Sarva-nivarana-viskambini) and they bring about the growth of the Dharma, through the Sangha, Dharma practitioners and Dharma establishments.

    4. 10 Youthful & Wrathful Attendants. They represent the ten wrathful attendants to avert inner and outer obstacles. They are beings who are from Mongolia, China, Kashmir, India, Bengali, etc.

    5. Setrap. He is a senior Dharma Protector from India and an emanation of Amitabha Buddha. He had enthroned Dorje Shugden as an authentic Dharma Protector. Therefore, he also resides within the same mandala of Dorje Shugden.

    6. Kache Marpo. He is not an emanation of Dorje Shugden but he is still an enlightened Dharma Protector in his own right. He was originally known as Tsiu Marpo of Samye Monastery. However, he has placed himself under the service of Dorje Shugden as his chief minister, performing many activities in order to protect and benefit practitioners. Therefore, he stands guard at the main entrance of Dorje Shugden’s mandala. He often takes trance of qualified mediums to speak.

    7. Namkar Barzin. He is the reincarnation of an old Mongolian monk and when he passed away in Phari area of Tibet, his spirit was placed as a powerful assistant of Dorje Shugden. He guards and protects buildings and great institutions especially those that benefit others. He rides on a mythical Gyaling animal that resembles a goat but with scales.

    These sacred images are available on *Vajrasecrets. They are made of high quality alloy and are one of a kind. They are based on the lineage of His Holiness Panchen Rinpoche’s monastery, Tashilhunpo in Shigatse, Tibet. In fact, the iconography of these statues are based on detailed photographs taken by H. E. Tsem Rinpoche during a trip to Tashilhunpo’s protector chapel. These are based exactly as the 10th Panchen Lama’s personal collection.

    There are 2 types of protectors, enlightened and unenlightened. Dorje Shugden is an emanation of Buddha Manjushri, therefore he is an enlightened protector. He manifested in a worldly form in order to be closer to us and he is able to assist us quicker.

    We don’t need special permission to invoke the blessings or assistance from Dorje Shugden. To make a connection with Dorje Shugden, we can start by chanting his mantra every day. We can recite 7 times, 21 times or a mala every day. If we have time, we can even start doing his prayer every day.

    Apart from reciting his mantra, we can also make offerings to him to collect merits to be closer to him. When we make offerings, we can offer fruits, flowers, but not meat because we don’t want to encourage killing. When we are more familiar with the daily practice, we can also engage in Dorje Shugden retreat on a regular basis to remove our obstacles.

    Thank you Rinpoche for all these creative memes. It does help me to recall Dorje Shugden qualities, abilities & benefits.

    I like this meme because it is so true that Dorje Shugden is perfect for our children to rely on for protection.

    His Holiness the 10th Panchen Lama

    Tibetans commonly refer to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and His Holiness 10th Panchen Lama as the “sun and moon” of Tibetan Buddhism. They are the center of Tibetan Buddhist civilization, which draws to its sphere of influence millions of non-Tibetan practitioners. The Panchen Lama’s incarnation line began with the 16th abbot of Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, Lobsang Chokyi Gyeltsen (1570 – 1662). He was bestowed the title of Panchen Lama by His Holiness the 5th Dalai Lama after being declared as an emanation of Amitabha.

    After being given the title, his three previous incarnations were posthumously also bestowed the title, making Lobsang Chokyi Gyeltsen the 4th Panchen Lama. He became a teacher to many Tibetans, Bhutanese and Mongolian religious figures, including His Holiness the 4th and 5th Dalai Lamas, and the 1st Jetsun Dampa of Mongolia. A prolific author, Chokyi Gyeltsen is credited with over a hundred compositions, including a number of commentaries and ritual texts that remain central in the Gelukpa tradition today. Along with his role as a teacher of the Dharma, the Panchen Lamas are usually responsible for the recognition of the rebirths of the Dalai Lamas, and vice versa.

    The 10th Panchen Lama, Lobsang Trinley Lhundrub Chokyi Gyeltsen (19 February 1938 – 28 January 1989) continued both the spiritual and political roles of his predecessors. His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, his contemporary, was even heard to say and echo the Panchen Lama’s own words that the Dalai Lama would safeguard Tibet from the outside while the Panchen Lama would safeguard Tibet from the inside, as he never left Tibet after the political troubles of 1959. He was truly loved by the Tibetans, all the way until his passing. When he taught, thousands of people would attend, not only from his own Gelug lineage, but masters and practitioners from all traditions of Tibetan Buddhism.

    At his sprawling monastery of Tashi Lhunpo, he has a special chapel specifically dedicated to Dorje Shugden, where prayers and rituals are performed on a daily basis. In his great omniscience the Panchen Lama held Dorje Shugden as the principal Dharma protector of the monastery. He also personally propitiated Dorje Shugden among other Dharma protectors, and even wrote extensive prayers and rituals to Dorje Shugden. These rituals and prayers are contained within his ‘sung bum’ or collected works, which are provided here. As such a great lama, with an erudite and clear understanding of the Buddhist scriptures, a teacher to millions in both Tibet and China, from an established incarnation line and an emanation of the Buddha Amitabha, he could not be mistaken about his practice of Dorje Shugden.

    His Holiness 10th Panchen Lama is known for his composition of commentaries and practice texts that are still in use by contemporary Buddhist practitioners both in Tibet and across the world. One of these is a powerful ritual composition propitiating the compassionate Dorje Shugden.

    Upon the request by Acharya Lobsang Jangchub to compose a shorter version of the prayer (sadhana) for the exhortation of activities of Dorje Shugden, Panchen Lama immediately composed an abbreviate form of Dorje Shugden’s Kangsol. This text is entitled “Manjunatha’s (Tsongkapa) Lineage protector Dorje Shugden and five forms wrathful propitiations and confessional prayers and fulfilment of activities rites” or “Melodious sound of Accomplishment of the Four Activities” for short. Once the prayers were completed, he had signs and strong feelings that Dorje Shugden has been working hard to protect the Buddhadharma in general and the lineage of Lama Tsongkhapa specifically.

    Mirroring the abilities of one of his earlier incarnations, Khedrub Je, a disciple of Lama Tsongkhapa and master of both sutra and tantra, the Panchen Lama used his compositional skill and poetic prowess to create a masterful sadhana. Worthy of note is a praise in which the first letter of each verse is a Tibetan vowel. Such compositions are rarely seen, and have historically only been used when propitiating senior Dharma protectors such as Palden Lhamo and Kalarupa.

    The Panchen Lama also stated that while composing the Dorje Shugden sadhana (prayers) he was filled with a sense of happiness and bliss. He ends the composition with not only his official title but his ordination name, Tenzin Trinley Jigme Choje Wangchuk, endorsing the validity of his work. He composed the sadhana in his own Tashi Lhunpo monastery while in the Hall of Clear Light and Bliss.

    Dear Kecharians and friends,

    Last night, I gave a teaching to a group of people who were in Kechara Forest Retreat. I shared with them the correct way to pray for our loved ones and why we shouldn’t “demand” Dorje Shugden with fulfilling our wishes but let Dorje Shugden decide what is the best outcome. He has infinite Manjushri wisdom beyond our own and we should trust this wisdom. Sometimes what we pray for is not what should be fulfilled. Sometimes what we don’t want turns out to be the better result in the future.

    I also shared with them about a beautiful monk, Tsawa Pulthok Rinpoche, who was jailed and badly tortured by the soldiers for 19 years, starting back in 1959 in Lhasa, and yet he has no anger towards his torturers. He was released and had resettled in Nepal where I met him. For the remainder of his life, he spent his time in meditation, retreats and pujas for the public until he passed. He was glowing, happy and very proud of the fact he was a student of His Holiness Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche, which he told me when we met. He did full meditations on Vajra Yogini and short puja to Dorje Shugden daily in his small room in Kathmandu, Nepal where I had to honor to join in his prayers. He told me he was very happy to have his room to do his meditations, pujas and prayers openly. Whatever happened to him, he accepted as part of his karma and he spent much time in prison meditating and quietly teaching dharma to his other cellmates. He was very much respected in prison in Lhasa because he never showed anger, always meditated and consoled others, giving them great strength. He endured much hardship, torture and beatings but he never lost his monk vows. His full understanding of karma helped him not feel any anger or bitterness towards the soldiers. He told me that daily, he would meditate that the karma of others in prison would come to him. That all the torture and abuse he received was so others in prison did not have to suffer this. He said suffering for others was what kept him going and made him be able to endure the pain.

    We are not bound by our experiences. We are bound by our choice. I also reminded those were present about the good person inside each and every one of us, and how we should not “bury” this good person with our excuses because the more excuses we give, the deeper this good person is buried and soon the layers of excuses will make it very difficult for us to find this good person. We are all beautiful good people and we should not let it get lost by lying, laziness, lack of integrity and procrastination. We all have a choice. If we have to make excuses, we should choose to make excuses to be a winner. When we win, we make ourselves happy and those around us happy.

    The teaching session went well and it was spontaneous, and I requested the people who live and work in and around Kechara Forest Retreat for the talk. We had some good laughs to during the talk.

    Thank you,
    Tsem Rinpoche

    ‘If we trust in karma which exists, then there is no reason for anger’.

    “If the Dalai Lama, if His Holiness the Dalai Lama can be harmed by Dorje Shugden, then we might as well not practice Buddhism anymore. If His Holiness the Dalai Lama can have his life shortened by a so-called evil spirit, any evil spirit, then can he be Avalokiteshvara? So on one hand you say, we say, I say, everybody says, he is Avalokiteshvara; on the other hand you’re saying that he can harmed by an evil spirit… Which one is it? Can he harmed by an evil spirit or is he Avalokiteshvara? Do you think Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri, Vajrapani, Tara all take refuge in something else to protect themselves from Dorje Shugden? How illogical is that? How illogical of people to say His Holiness the Dalai Lama can be harmed by an evil spirit, any evil spirit or “Dorje Shugden” evil spirit. How is that possible?” – Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

    Listening to the chanting of sacred words, melodies, mantras, sutras and prayers has a very powerful healing effect on our outer and inner environments. It clears the chakras, spiritual toxins, the paths where our ‘chi’ travels within our bodies for health as well as for clearing the mind. It is soothing and relaxing but at the same time invigorates us with positive energy. The sacred sounds invite positive beings to inhabit our environment, expels negative beings and brings the sound of growth to the land, animals, water and plants. Sacred chants bless all living beings on our land as well as inanimate objects. Do download and play while in traffic to relax, when you are about to sleep, during meditation, during stress or just anytime. Great to play for animals and children. Share with friends the blessing of a full Dorje Shugden puja performed at Kechara Forest Retreat by our puja department for the benefit of others. Tsem Rinpoche

    Thank you Rinpoche for coming up with these beautiful, colourful memes.

    Dear Rinpoche,

    There are so many circumstances that Dorje Shugden has lifted my family and me out of problems, obstacles and even life threatening situations.
    He has helped by father who was hospitalized and underwent a successful surgery, and save him after surgery when complications arose.
    The help that Dorjes Shugden helped us is countless.

    It only takes one’s mind to be SINCERE, and PURE MOTIVATION to generate the affinity with Dorje Shugden and we will be connected.

    Thank you to Rinpoche for opening up the practice of DS to all of us!!

    Humbly yours,

    This is a powerful picture of Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen, Kensur Kyabje Lati Rinpoche and the current incarnation of Trijang Rinpoche meeting together in the year 2000 when Trijang Rinpoche was 18. All three lamas are Dorje Shugden practitioners. In fact Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen was the one that first encouraged my practice of Dorje Shugden when I was 16 years old when I joined his beautiful Thubten Dhargye Ling centre in Los Angeles. I lived with Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen for 8 years before proceeding to Gaden Monastery in South India. Later Kyabje Zong Rinpoche came to our Los Angeles centre and granted sogtae (permission ceremony) to practice Dorje Shugden for life as requested by Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen. Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen had tremendous faith in Trijang Rinpoche. Kyabje Lati Rinpoche was innovative, dedicated and very much focused on bringing dharma to many. He had tremendous faith in Dorje Shugden as I had the honour to meet him many times. He would seek advice from Dorje Shugden many times via the oracle of Gaden Monastery. Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen and Kensur Kyabje Lati Rinpoche have since passed away while the current Trijang Rinpoche is a perfect lineage holder and practitioner of Dharma while he keeps Dorje Shugden as his personal protector as he has done so for many lifetimes. This is a powerful and beautiful picture of three great lamas of Buddha’s lineage and also of Gaden Monastery.

    Since Tsem Rinpoche began speaking openly about Dorje Shugden and imparting accurate and invaluable information about the Protector, there has been noticeable shift in the attitude of the public towards the Protector. This comment by Suzy on Rinpoche’s YouTube channel is yet another indicator that despite the ban persisting, people are now beginning to see the benefits of this ancient and holy practice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl-4lIwxph4&t=11s

    Trode Khangsar Chapel in Lhasa, Tibet

    Over 400 years ago a great and learned lama Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen was famed in Mongolia, Tibet, Nepal and China for being very saintly and compassionate. He resided in his residence (Zimkhang Gongma Ladrang) in Drepung Monastery. His root guru was H.H. the Omniscient 4th Panchen Lama and his close dharma brother was the 5th Dalai Lama.

    The 5th Dalai Lama and Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen had a very close and dharmic relationship and often went to receive teachings together from the 4th Panchen Lama. They were close in age. They both became very learned and well known. During this time, the Dalai Lama was enthroned as a Dharma King of Tibet. But more people went to see Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen for teachings, initiations and divinations. This made the attendants of the 5th Dalai Lama feel threatened that Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen’s fame might usurp the power of the 5th Dalai Lama. So they had a khata forced down his throat. At that moment, Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen dissolved his psychic winds and generated the wish to be a great guardian of Buddha and Tsongkapa’s teachings. As his consciousness dissolved, he entered ‘bardo’ as a dharma protector of the highest order (jikten depey sungma). Many signs were seen throughout Lhasa at this time and the earth was said to have shaken in Lhasa. This event was already predicted to Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen’s previous incarnation when he was one of the 8 main disciples of Lord Tsongkapa the Supreme Master and he served Tsongkapa directly by building Gaden Monastery.

    When the 5th Dalai Lama heard what his scheming and power-hungry attendants had done, he was very distressed. He was very sorry Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen was murdered and dishonored as he was a great dharma master. The 5th Dalai Lama composed an apology to Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen. In Lhasa, tens of thousands gathered for the cremation of Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen’s holy body. During the cremation, the 5th Dalai Lama’s apology was read out at which flames spontaneously arose from the body of Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen commencing the cremation. From the body, during cremation, a powerful whirlwind of smoke tunneled into the sky for all to see as this was an indication Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen’s consciousness has arisen as the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden. The Dharma Protector Setrap immediately recognized this new protector Dorje Shugden and ‘enthroned’ him as a powerful Dharma Protector in the realm of the Buddhas. From this, Setrap and Dorje Shugden are closely connected and very close working hand in hand always. After the cremation, the great 5th Dalai Lama built a Dorje Shugden chapel on the spot the cremation took place and named it Trode Khangsar. The 5th Dalai Lama commissioned the statue of Dorje Shugden in this chapel and had monks installed in the chapel to do continuous propitiations to Dorje Shugden. Trode Khangsar Chapel was a commemoration to Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen who was wronged and also a celebration of his consciousness arising as the World Peace Peace Protector Dorje Shugden.

    This Trode Khangsar Chapel still exists now in Lhasa where many make pilgrimages there. It is in good condition and was recently renovated. It is over 400 years old and a testimony to the respect the Great 5th Dalai Lama had to Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen who arose as Dorje Shugden.

    I have visited this holy chapel in Lhasa years back. I’ve never heard of it till I was in Lhasa and by chance, I was told about it which I was happy to visit. I could not find the place but strangely a bunch of pilgrims from Amdo told me they would show me how to get there in Lhasa.

    This short video is a short clip of this holy Trode Khangsar Chapel in Lhasa today commemorating Dorje Shugden, built by the great 5th Dalai Lama. The great 5th Dalai Lama even composed a prayer to Dorje Shugden which is still available today and we can recite to invoke the blessings, protection, and assistance of World Peace Protector Dorje Shugden.

    为什么只有多杰雄登有禁令,其他的护法没有禁令,多杰雄登是证悟护法,文殊菩萨化成忿怒的护法,多杰雄登。
    已经400年了,现在才说他是邪灵。不可以修。
    修持多杰雄登不只是没有坏处,而且还有很多好处,他能带来的正能量,加持,可以帮助我们在生活中遇到的困难。
    也可以帮我们在修行上更进步,在非常差环境中找到更好的方向,引导我们走向更明确的路,让众生走向解脱之道!
    多杰雄登护法有这么多的好处,他那里像邪灵。
    希望大家给予多杰雄登修持者一个公平的路。尊重他们的选择,这是多杰雄登修持者的心愿。让更多人得到他们需要的帮助
    也希望多杰雄登有禁令早了去除,让更多人得到他们需要的帮助和受益。

    These beautiful creative memes tell us what our great powerful protector, Dorje Shugden can do for us all. We have also learnt that Pabongka Rinpoche had also help to spread Dorje Shugden practices, and had many famous and wise students in the 1920’s. Our great compassionate protector, Dorje Shugden, as Rinpoche has said can help ordinary people, Lamas, masters and disciples who practice Dorje Shugden, and that Dorje Shugden has benefitted him tremendously in so many ways too! Whatso-ever, it is also mentioned in the teachings that the protector, Dorje Shugden is an Arya Bodhisattva, and an manifestation of Manjushri. The whole World now it seems is anxiously awaiting to see a good transformation of Tibet with the lifting of Dorje Shugden’s ban – so as to end all sufferings of Dorje Shugden’s faithful devotees and all loyal citizens of Tibet. A great many heartfelt thanks for the sharing and teachings, Rinpoche. Om Benza Wiki Bitana Zoha.

    Dorje Shugden is an enlightened dharma protector but appeared in worldly form to get close to samsara people.This can show that the compassion of this dharma protector. As Rinpoche told us that Compassion conquer everythings. We must learn the good qualities of Dorje Shugden.
    Besides that, he is also a emanation of Majushri (Wisdom Buddha). By practising Dorje Shugden teachings, we can dispel our ignorance and gain wisdom.From the above memes, practice Dorje Shugden only benefit us and no harm at all.
    Thanks Rinpoche to get all of us close to this world peace protector.Om Benza Wiki Bitana Soha

      Dear Jason

      Thank you for your comments. I agreed with you that Dorje Shugden is the emanation of Lord Manjushri and his practice can help us to gain wisdom and ignorance.

      May Dorje Shugden blessed you in this and future lives

    Thank you Rinpoche for being so thoughtful always in sharing dharma in various ways. This is a very creative and interesting method for me to know and learn Dorject Shugden, the enlightened protector.

    We are all very fortunate to be able to practise Dorje Shugden with the blessing from Rinpoche.

  62. Stella Cheang on Mar 31, 2016 at 3:45 pm

    It is our very good fortune to have His Eminence the 25th Tsem Rinpoche explained here the different types of Dharma Protector and to which Dorje Shugden belongs. As an enlightened Dharmapala who appeared in mundane form to assist us swiftly, Dorje Shugden offers transcental protection and help especially in our spiritual pathtoHe can clear our inner & outer obstacles, and encourages the development of wisdom & compassion. Since Dorje Shugden practice offers so many benefits, we must practice it diligently as well as help spread to others so that more can benefit.

    The memes and colors combination are very creative and attractive. I will certainly shared it on social media.

    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing.

    Humbly, bowing down,

    Thank you Rinpoche so much for constantly giving us Dharma knowledge in the easiest and most convenient way possible! Dorje Shugden is definitely the protector of our time and one can receive so many benefits from this great Dharma protector!

    • Pastor Elena Khong Jean Ai on Mar 28, 2016 at 8:46 pm

      Thank you for your comment Wan San! Please do share these memes from time to time. Not only are they Dorje Shugden masters, but they are meditation masters and scholars and attained beings who just happened to rely on Dorje Shugden as well. For people to learn more about these teachers and their deeds, and to lay eyes on these teachers’ images is a blessing for them.

  64. Joy on Mar 27, 2016 at 2:15 am

    I love these creative inspiring memes with quotes that tells us the benefit of Dorje Shugden. Rinpoche is really creative and passionate when it comes to spreading the Dharma and especially the truth about Dorje Shugden. I guess this should inspire us, who have received so much help and benefit from Dorje Shugden, to create awareness about Dorje Shugden and the benefits of DS’s practice. This is one of the many ways we can repay the kindness of our Dharma Protector. And these creative quotes can even be printed on T-Shirt 🙂

  65. Sharon Ong on Mar 24, 2016 at 11:30 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,
    This is such a great way to educate people out there about our Dharma protector.
    I love these little nuggets of info on Dorje Shugden, presented in an attractive and easy to share manner. May more be connected to Dorje Shugden and may the ban be lifted soon.

    Thank you with folded hands.

    P/S: My favs are those purple and galaxy themed ones. 🙂

  66. Sofi on Mar 24, 2016 at 4:23 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for these memes with a single caption which makes it simple and easy to understand the ways Dorje Shugden is able help to us. They are eye catching and can be easily shared on social medias. May more benefit from the practise of Protector Dorje Shugden.

    谢谢仁波切分享修持多杰雄登护法的利益和功效。只要您相信和有好的发心修持护法就有求必应。我曾经传给一位患血癌的亲戚,而他每天只念颂护法心咒多篇,(超过十万圈珠念)至今一切的血癌医疗过程都很顺利。而且护法是位证悟者所以祂也不会要求您一切的回报。这样好的护法,您要修持吗?

  68. DavidFong on Mar 23, 2016 at 9:03 pm

    谢谢仁波切的用心分享, 让我们认识到多杰雄登护法 , 以上的图片可以让我们更加了解多杰雄登护法的慈悲和帮助, 多杰雄登护法乃是圆满证悟之佛, 祈愿多杰雄登护法的禁令可以和平的解除,让更多的人受益。

    看来如果大家喜欢的话还可以打印出来放在家里,佛龛上,办公室里, 太好了。

    而且字不多, 又容易明白,讯息很明确。 谢谢仁波切, 还有大家。

  73. Sarah on Mar 19, 2016 at 6:25 pm

    Thank you, Rinpoche, for this list of the qualities of Dorje Shugden, His abilities and the benefits of His practice. Dorje Shugden is truly the supreme Dharma Protector of our times. Many people have attested to the efficacy of His practice. We can rely on Lord Shugden when we encounter difficulties in our daily life and at the time of death.

    • Tsem Rinpoche on Mar 19, 2016 at 9:06 pm

      Dear Sarah Yap, I will continuously find ways to benefit people in my limited capacity. I am very limited in what I can do for others as I am an ordinary person, but if I offer Dorje Shugden to others, He can help and this really brings me alot of satisfaction. I’ve seen Him help and so many high lamas, masters and disciples practice Dorje Shugden in Gaden, Sera and Drepung Monasteries. My guru Zong Rinpoche assigned Dorje Shugden to me over 30 years back and Dorje Shugden has benefitted me tremendously in so many ways. Since my guru has assigned Dorje Shugden to me, I will fervently be loyal to my guru’s assigned practice to me. I nor anyone else may override my guru’s instructions to me. This was such a precious gift from my guru to me. Zong Rinpoche was really the perfect epitome of a high lama and his lineage and practice are stainless. People sometimes make Dorje Shugden practice into a political issue, but that is not why I practice Him. My guru gave Dorje Shugden to me and therefore I will stay with this forever and offer the practice to others. The lineage came from my guru so it is faultless. Since I have devoted the last 30 years of my life to dharma, my aspiration is to be of benefit to others who are karmically ready. For the rest of my short life, I will continue to do the same as a Buddhist monk. I may not please everyone with my practice, style and methods, but I will still do the best I can. May bodhicitta prevail. Tsem Rinpoche.

    Venerable Ajahn Chah was a Thai Buddhist teacher of the Buddhadhamma and a founder of two major monasteries in the Thai Forest Tradition. Well respected and loved as a man of great wisdom, he was also instrumental in establishing Theravada Buddhism in the West. Interesting life story, how he chose to leave the settled monastic life and became a wandering ascetic. Walking across Thailand, lived in forests, caves and cremation grounds while learning from the meditation monks of the Forest of various monasteries. He wandered through the countryside in quest of quiet and secluded places for developing meditation. He even lived in tiger and cobra infested jungles, using reflections on death to penetrate to the true meaning of life. After years of wandering, Venerable Ajahn Chah established a monastery where he taught simple, practice-based form of meditation, and attracted a numerous of students including western foreigners. He was one of the greatest Dhamma teachers of the modern era. His wise teachings have continued to guide thousands of people along the path of Dharma. Venerable Ajahn Chah’s teachings of the Thai Forest Tradition gradually spread across all over the world. Several of Ajahn Chah’s Western students have since established monasteries throughout the world. Just in Thailand itself, there are more than 300 branch monasteries in Ajahn Chah’s tradition. Ven erable Ajahn Chah used his ill health as a teaching point, emphasizing that it was a living example of the impermanence of all things and reminded people to endeavour to find a true refuge within themselves. The legacy of Venerable Ajahn Chah’s teachings and legacy continues into the modern age.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    Wonderful blog written on the practice of Kalarupa for us to understand better. As an emanation of Manjushri, Kalarupa’s practice helps us to destroy ignorance and to develop wisdom overcoming our anger and suffering . Awesome Kalarupa manifested in multiple forms to help sentient beings who personifies enlightenment by the conquest of anger. Kalarupa also regard as one of the three main Dharma protectors of the Gelugpa is extremely fierce and ugly, and tames all kinds of spiritual ugliness. The fierceness of his iconography teaches us to remind ourselves that all the causes and effects of anger arising from ignorance are dreadful and distorted.

    Nepal is a very spiritual country, having a huge Dorje Shugden mural in Kathmandu, is indeed a big achievement for Kechara. Located on Charkhal Road in Dilli Bazaar, the mural can be found midway between our two Dorje Shugden chapels which are in Putalisadak and Chabahil. It is also very close to one of Kathmandu’s largest shopping malls. Many locals , tourist will be able to connect them to a powerful deity that is so closely associated with their culture. Well the mural not only beautiful but also full of symbolism and everyone merely by seeing it is blessed. Thanks to those talented artists and generous sponsors making it a success.

    All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on. Letting go helps us to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. A reminder for us all to go of attachment and meditating on impermanence and emptiness. We are to relinquish the domination of our ego and its habits to transform ourselves. A great reminder not to waste our previous life.
    Quoted Ceasing to do evil, Cultivating the good, Purifying the heart .
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing such a meaningful teachings with folded hands.

Dr lucas is a powerful Dr that is on a mission to eradicate poverty from people’s lives and i have confirmed that by winning $10 million with the numbers he provided for me, it is my promise to tell the world about my experience with Dr Lucas and that’s what I’m doing now, you can win the lottery fast with the help of Dr Lucas he is tested and trusted Email: Drlucasspelltemple@gmail. com or WhatsApp +234 904 794 3567 he will help you.

    We are members of the Buddhist Temple in Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur and we have been issued membership by the president (DATUK YIP KUM FOOK), we are very sad because we are the foundation of this Temple

    Now we can know who is always messing with people, and he always cheats money and women, he even uses Buddhism to find money.

    Also, need to be careful with his brother-in-law (Simon Low Kok Meng) because he is a spy (CID) for DATUK YIP KUM FOOK and we will write some letters to AGONG SULTAN IBRAHIM IBN ALMARHUM SULTAN ISKANDAR as soon as possible.

    The matriarchal cultures of the grandmothers have specific symbolism of animism shamanism, such as the horse, especially the blue horse, and the deer. These are two main symbols of a shaman woman and you can find them in many cultural folk lore, especially the Russian, Slavic, Siberian, Nordic, Finland, and Norway. It’s nice to see the Matriarchal Shaman Animism diety represented in Chinese.

    An inspiring act of a selfless Lama feeding strays whether its night or day. Truly an example for us all to feed those lonely strays . Yes I do agree compassion starts with feeding strays. Reading this blog again to refresh myself to do more. Strays animals generally lead a life of poor welfare on the street. Feeding strays is a compassionate act.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Anila for this sharing.

    Demons are disembodied spirits, supernatural being or spirit and unseen beings. We know they do exist and I believe they do. They have no physical form to them whatsoever. Demons do definitely exist. They are intelligent beings who are evil malicious spirits and are all dangerous entities. Valak is not to be summoned capriciously by anyone as they are dangerous beings when we invoke them having to face a heavy consequence. There are spiritual practices that we can ask for help a ritual of the wrathful Manjushri in the form of Trakze. Having a doing the practice daily without fail, consistently, as this Trakze practice has been proven to be efficacious to break the hold the Valak and other spirits. All thanks to our Guru bringing this practice to Kechara Forest Retreat, Bentong Malaysia.

May H E Tsem Rinpoche’s sincere advice to reach the far shore of liberation to everyone reading this blog. The most truly generous people are those who give silently without asking any in return. There is no exercise better than reaching and lifting people up. A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal. Well creating and lighting for others we naturally light our own way. Helping others especially those unfortunate ones, make us feel more positive about our own circumstances.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing all these powerful quotes.

    Lama Tsongkhapa was an influential Tibetan Buddhist monk, philosopher and tantric yogi, whose activities led to the formation of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism . Lama Tsongkhapa was hailed as the second Buddha by contemporary Buddhist masters of his time. Famous for reviving Buddhism in Tibet and revered for elevating the Dharma to all its present glory. Hence having a 12 ft Lama Tsongkhapa Statue at new Kechara Gompa (Prayer Hall) is indeed a blessing. Its truly beautiful. Merely by looking at it is a blessing .
    Thank you Rinpoche and team effort making it possible.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

    6 years ago
    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer

Umze for the day was Siew Hong. She's just been with us for slightly more than a year now but she's proven her capability in leading the puja. Our Penang group members are so proud of her and her commitment in attending the weekly puja. Despite being eloquence and smart, she has beautiful chant as well. When she leads, make sure you are there to hear her chant for yourself! Kechara Penang Study Group by Jacinta.

Dharma sharing by Hue before we proceeded with DS puja & Rinpoche Swift Return puja. Hue is one of the long time Kechara Penang members and he comes to puja regularly. He shared that he truly believes that Dorje Shugden and Rinpoche always there guiding him. He shared how sometimes DS will give him hints to avert troubles ahead or to alert him when he 'misbehaved'. Hope many will come to know more about this powerful Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden aka DS. Having Dorje Shugden is like having a powerful ally that will protect us day and night. Just trust Him and have faith. Kechara Penang Study Group, 25/11/2023 by Jacinta.
