It is important to merge our minds with the Buddha's mind. Start by letting go of saying Dharma is hard. Dharma seen as hard is a concept we hold onto in order to excuse ourselves to improve our minds. Dharma is not hard, but samsara is hard. See the truth in this before time runs out. Tsem Rinpoche

Environment is stronger because when you are in a spiritual environment with other spiritual brothers and sisters, the chance to learn and transform is much higher. If we rely on our own willpower and go at it alone to practice spirituality, very small chance we can succeed. Because most of the time we don't have the willpower and our willpower does not sustain us. That is why we have monasteries where clusers of people live together spiritually to enhance each other and the whole for thousands of years. That is why we have spiritual communities like Findhorn and Kechara Forest Retreat so that we are in a spiritual environment and being in this type of environment encourages us to grow inwardly. It gives us strength and support and in turn we give others strength and support. Tsem Rinpoche

Daily do your prayers/mantra to Lord Manjushri as it's a powerful blessing on a daily basis. It is so important to have sharp mind, good memory and quick wisdom and Manjushri can bestow this. I have heard many tell me that Manjushri's practice is very effective. We must also do Manjushri's intensive retreats at least twice a year. It would be very beneficial.

A beautiful painting of the enlightened protector Dorje Shugden in the very rich tradition of Aztec art of South America. I wanted to commission something in this rich tradition which is filled with spiritual journeys into other worlds, magic, purification, the supernatural, astral visitations, gods and other dimensions and it has manifested. I have successfully combined the divinity of Tibet with the rich artistic tradition of the Aztecs. The artist we had is amazing. We have many more beautiful art pieces here for you to enjoy and download: http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/?p=144924
Remember those wonderful Carlos Castaneda books? I use to read them many years back in my room back in New Jersey as a kid. His learning journey with Don Juan was amazing! Those books inspired my commissioning of this beautiful Aztec Dorje Shugden. May you be blessed. Tsem Rinpoche

Comic drawn by Tendor, a prominent Free Tibet activist-Every Tibetan knows that although His Holiness the Dalai Lama says he is retired from politics, he is in full control of the Tibetan government in exile. No member of the government will dare carry out any decisions without His Holiness' approval. He is retired for the sake of the west so he does not look like a dictator.~Tenzin Damchoe

It would be wonderful if everyone can recite these two mantras 100k each focusing on Shakyamuni Buddha and His powerful healing energies. Not collectively but each person 100k each of each mantra. Praise to Shakyamuni the Sage who showed us a permanent way to bliss.

![In the Lankavatara Sutra, Lord Buddha says: \"For innumerable reasons, the Bodhisattva, whose nature is compassion, is not to any meat. Thus Mahamati, whenever there is the evolution of living beings, let people cherish the thought of kinship with them, and thinking that all beings are [to be loved as if they were] and only child, let them refrain from eating meat. Mahamati, meat is not eaten by anybody for any reason, there will be no destroyer of life. Thus, Mahamati, meat-eating I have not permitted to anyone, I do not permit, I will not permit.\"](https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/wp-content/gallery/photos-on-the-go/photo_180110103648_0.jpg)

At a creek which had been freshly washed-out by recent floods, they witnessed a female Bigfoot swiftly traverse the rugged landscape. Since their filmed encounter with the Bigfoot, who has since been nicknamed Patty, many have disputed the authenticity of their recording but no one has been able to successfully prove that it is a fake. Credits for this video goes to entirely to windvale for the original footage.

- June 15, 2018 00:14Eric asked: Hello Pastor Niral You stated to me in response to my question about Yumar Gyalchen thangka, "Since Yumar Gyalchen is another form of Kache Marpo, it is quite apt for it to be in Panglung Ritroe, don't you think?". Yes it totally fine since Yumar Gyalchen is the "Peaceful Emanation" of Kache Marpo. What I do not think is apt is that there is no thangka at all in "Panglung Ritroe" of the "Enlightened" Dharmapala Yumar Gyalchen. Yumar Gyalchen is 1) the Protector of all the past, present and future Panglung Oracles. 2) the Protector of all the past, present and future Panglung Ritroes. 3) the Protector of all the past, present and future guests and visitors to Panglung Ritroe. Gyalchen means "Great King" but he does not appear to be treated as one at Panlung Ritroe. To not have his thangka displayed is to me a total sign of lack of respect for this "Enlightened" Deity. Both thangkas of Kache Marpo and Yumar Gyalchen should be proudly displayed at Panglung Ritroe. No reply yet
- June 14, 2018 01:26Eric asked: Hello Pastor Niral I have a question about a thangka that is displayed on the second floor that the Panglung Oracle's house called "Panglung Ritroe". I noticed the thangka on Tsem Tulku's you tube video titled "Panglung Ritroe". You will see the thangka at the 20:15 minute mark with Rinpoche sitting beside it. When I first viewed this video months ago I thought it was "Kache Marpo". Since I have learned about Yumar Gyalchen I am now wondering if it is in fact a thangka of "Yumar Gyalchen. You have stated that Yumar Gyalchen is the protector of "Panglung Ritroe" and it would only make sense that the Panglung Oracle would have his thangka mounted on the wall there. Am I correct in assuming that it is in fact "Yumar Gyalchen? Could you detail what the proper daily practice of "Yumar Gyalchen" would entail. Finally Is there such a thing as a formal retreat for either Yumar Gyalchen, Methar or Namkar Barzin?Pastor Niral Patel answered: Hello Eric, The thangka that you saw is actually of Kache Marpo, you can download it here: http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/archive/deitypics/kachemarpo-02-s.jpg. Since Yumar Gyalchen is another form of Kache Marpo, it is quite apt for it to be in Panglung Ritroe don't you think? Unfortunately, at the moment we do not have the daily practice of Yumar Gyalchen. The prayer that we do have is available here: http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/lightning-fast-yumar-gyalchen.html this can be recited on a daily basis, and you can recite the mantra too. Daily offerings you can make are the same type of offering to other Dharma protectors such as Dorje Shugden. As far as I am aware this is no specific retreat text for either Yumar Gyalchen, Methar or Namkha Barzin. For Yumar Gyalchen, you can recite the prayer and mantra as your retreat. However, for Namkha Barzin and Methar, since they are unenlightened, I am assuming that if there are retreat texts for them, this would entail Guru Yoga and invocations of the enlightened beings. For Namkha Barzin this may even include prayers to DS after the Guru Yoga and invocations of the enlightened beings. I hope this helps. Thank you.
- June 13, 2018 00:57Eric asked: Hello Pastor Niral Some more questions on Oracles and their training. I have seen Tsem Tulku's you tube video on "Taking Trances" In it he goes into great detail of all the retreats that must be perfomed successfully prior to being "Officially Recognized" as an "Oracle". Would a person have to do an additional retreat if he took trance of only one of Dorje Shugdend's attendants. I will use you as the example of a person whom a "Dharmapala" has take spontaneous trance of. Say one of Dorje Shugden's attendants i.e. Namkar Barzin or lets say Methar took trance of you. Rinpoche could then have you take all the retreats for becoming a "Recognized" Oracle. These "Retreats" would include Je Rinpoche, Yamataka or Hiagriva and Dorje Shugden. Would Rinpoche add on say a "Methar" or a "Namkar Barzin" retreat for you to complete so as to have a strong karmic connection with that Dharmapala.? Also speaking of Methar has there been a daily practice written for those who wish to follow him as their "Dharmapala"?Pastor Niral Patel answered: Hello Eric, Good questions. Usually when an oracle takes trance of the attendants of Dorje Shugden, they usually end up taking trance of the main forms of Dorje Shugden due to the training process an oracle. As you may be aware, Dorje Shugden oracles can also take trance of other deities associated with him, such as Kache Marpo, Yumar Gyalchen, Setrap, Namkha Barzin, etc. In some cases, there are oracles that do not take trances of Dorje Shugden, but solely of one of these other protectors. In that case, when engaging in retreats, they would start with Je Rinpoche, Yamantaka or Hayagriva. Instead of focusing on Dorje Shugden, they would focus on the practice of the deity that they are to take trance of or have taken trance of (to further purify their body and strengthen the trance process). In the case of oracles that primarily take trance of Dorje Shugden but also take trance of other protectors, yes their gurus can ask them to engage in the retreats of those protectors to create a stronger connection with them. As far as I am aware, there is no daily practice written for Methar. I have not come across mention of it before. I hope this helps!
- June 12, 2018 01:36Eric asked: Hello Pastor Niral I was reading Tsem Tulku's article on the Dharmapala Yumar Gyalchen. In his article he stated that the 1st Panglung Tulku had Dorje Shugden and Kache Marpo assign Yumar Gyalchen to his Panglung Hermitage. The Panglung Hermitage is home to the Panglung Oracle and his Lineage. The Panglung Hermitage is now located because of Tsem Tulku's kindness at the Kechara Forest Retreat. Does Yumar Gyalchen not only protect the Hermitage but also the Panglung Kuten and his Lineage? One final question and that is what other Dharmapalas are members of Dorje Shugden's retinue? We have the Dharmapala's Kache Marpo, Namkar Barzin and with Tsem Tulku's help the newest member Methar. So with Yumar Gyalchen we now have four Dharampalas. Any more???Pastor Niral Patel answered: Dear Eric, Yes, Yumar Gyalchen also protects the line of Panglung oracles, and also the Panglung Rinpoche's. If you read the history of the oracles, they were named Panglung oracles, because they were based in the hermitage of the Panglung Rinpoches, where the tradition arose and they were trained. As you probably already know, the original Panglung hermitage was destroyed in Tibet but has come to be re-established in Kechara Forest Retreat due to Tsem Rinpoche's kindness. There are many other Dharma protectors within Dorje Shugden's retinue. The main, as you have already mentioned would be Kache Marpo (and Yumar Gyalchen), Namkha Barzin, and Methar. But one thing people also forget is that Dorje Shugden has a very close connection with Setrap, whom he used to propitiate in his previous lifetimes. Therefore, when you invoke Dorje Shugden, Setrap will also come the aid of practitioners. For example, when you engage in the Serkym (golden drink) offering to Dorje Shugden, there are verses for Setrap. There are even verses for Kache Marpo/Yumar Gyalchen, and Namkha Barzin. There are many other protectors, both enlightened and unenlightened that come to air practitioners. This includes the likes of the unenlightened Shangmo Dorje Putri (http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/shangmo-dorje-putri-the-bamo-of-sakya.html). She was bound by Domo Geshe Rinpoche and established in the entourage of Kache Marpo. So when you invoke Dorje Shugden, since Kache Marpo is his main 'attendant' he would also bring his own 'attendants' and this includes Shangmo Dorje Putri. Therefore, as we have seen, when you invoke Dorje Shugden, a whole bevy of other Dharma protectors come to aid the practitioner as well. This is not something that is unusual, even Palden Lhamo's retinue includes the Tseringma goddesses and the 12 Tenma goddesses. However, the difference with Dorje Shugden is that because he has such a close connection with other enlightened Dharma protectors, these also bring their own retinue of Dharma protectors when they come to aid practitioners. I hope this helps.
- June 11, 2018 20:53Eric asked: Hello again Pastor Niral I would like to ask you about Mo divinations and what role the "Deity" plays in it. When you "invoke" the "Deity" to assist you in your divination does the deity enter you or the ritual item that you are using? I will use the example of the Dorje Shugden "Dice Divination" method of Mo. After you have "invoked" Dorje Shugden does he enter the "Dice" and provide the "Mo Master" the answers? The alternative is that Dorje Shugden enters the "Mo Master" and through him he manipulates the dice to answer the questions. Also instead of using Dorje Shugden could you use the say the Dharampala "Namkar Barzin" when doing say a "Mala" divination? I have read on Rinpoche's two websites that the Dorje Shugden "Dice" divination requires permission from your Lama and a formal Dorje Shugden "Divination" retreat. I have used Namkar Barzin who I feel a strong connection with to do simple "Mala" divinations that require only a simple "Yes" or "No" answer. And with that in mind could you "invoke" Dorje Shugden in a "Mala" divination? I understand that he has a greater power to see into the future than a Dharmapala and his answers would be more complete. In one of Rinpoche's you tube videos he mentions that he would be training some of his people to be able to do "Mo" divinations. Has the happened yet? Maybe Pastor you could do a you tube video on the topic of "Mo" divinations. Thank you Pastor Patel for your insightful answers to my last series of questions. Pastor Niral Patel answered: Hello Eric, The method in which the deity aids in divination depends on the actual mechanism of divination. In the case of Dorje Shugden's dice divination, the deity does not enter the person doing the divination, but guides the dice to land on the right side to give an accurate answer. Some forms of divination require the practitioner to have developed some form of clairvoyant ability and others require faith in the particular deity. The Dorje Shugden divination dice relies on the latter. There are actually quite a few guidelines to be followed, not just in the training one must undergo to receive the dice, but in the process of making the dice, and the process in which one uses the dice. Over all, it must be done without a selfish mind, but one that seeks benefit for others. The same applies for other forms of divination, such as mala divination. As for divination methods relying on Namkha Barzin, I have not come across mention of this before. However, the Dorje Shugden divination is much more reliable because Dorje Shugden is an enligtened being and therefore his clairvoyant ability is much more advanced than Namkha Barzin because the latter is not enlightened. In fact Dorje Shugden's clairvoyance is the highest, as he is a Buddha. As for mala divination relying on Dorje Shugden, this is also possible because he is an enlightened being, though I have not come across a tradition or system of mala divination based on Dorje Shugden before. In regards to Rinpoche training people in divination, none of Rinpoche's students have completed the entire training process necessary, with all the other per-requisites, at this time. I hope this helps.
- June 10, 2018 02:31Eric w. asked: How important are the subtle bodies I was reading in a blog by a kadampa practitioner About how much importance we place on the physical. I don't give my physical body much importance I know I am not the body. I seem to be more aware of my subtle bodies than Most people. I feel like people are are intruding in my subtle body alot and it really bothers me. So my question is what importance should I give my energy How can I be compassionate when someone intrudes in my energy field Thank youPastor Niral Patel answered: Dear Eric W, Thank you for your question. There are two ways to view our bodies, one is from the sutric system which just talks about the physical body and the mind. The second is from the tantric system, which talks about multiple bodies and the mind. In the tantric system there are two major bodies, the physical or gross body and the energy or subtle body. The physical body is made up of the elements: earth, water, fire and air. The subtle body however is made up of the winds (sanskrit: prana), channels (sanskrit: nadi), and the drops (sanskrit: bindu). The subtle energies move along the channels. There are many different types of energies known as "winds or breaths". Within the Highest Yoga Tantra (sanskrit: Anuttarayoga) there are meditations which are used to penetrate these energy channels in order to bring about higher states of mind and spiritual realisations. Meditations that work with the subtle body and energies include the Inner Fire, and Six Yogas of Naropa meditations. However, one can only engage in the meditations after receiving empowerment into the Highest Yoga Tantra practices, and having received the commentaries and instructions on how to practice properly. It is believed that the mind or consciousness rides on these subtle energies. Just like a jockey rides on a horse. In this case, the mind is the jockey and the subtle energies are the horse. Therefore, with meditation we can control where and how these energies move. At our level, since the mind is what ultimately directs the winds, we should work with our minds in order to make it more stable. In that way we can also develop more compassion, so that when we are confronted with situations that we are not comfortable with, such as when people invade our energy fields, we can deal with it in a better manner. In fact, one way of doing this is by engaging in various forms of meditation such as breathing meditation (http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/the-accidental-meditator.html). You should give it a try. It will end up balancing your own energy field. That is one side-effect of breathing meditation that people are not aware of. I hope this helps. Thank you.
- June 9, 2018 01:13Eric asked: Hello again Pastor Niral When Dorje Shugden or a member of his retinue take trance of the Panglung Oracle what language do they speak? When Dorje Shugden or a member of his retinue take trance of the Gameng (Ari) Oracle what language do they speak? When the Nechung State Oracle is taken trance by Dorje Drakden he speaks in a "Twilight" language that only a handful of monks from his Nechung Monastery have been taught. I don't think that either the Panglung or Gameng Oracles speak a "Twilight" language unknown to anyone on Earth. Do the Panglung and Gameng Oracle reply in either the Tibetian or Mongolian language? Would you like to comment on the Nechung's "Twilight" language? How can we trust that the Nechung monks doing the translation of this unknown language are tell us the truth. They could be subject to strong influences, pressures or even bribes into saying something totally false. Thanks again for all you help and insights Pastor Niral.Pastor Niral Patel answered: Dear Eric, Your questions are thought provoking, as always. When Dorje Shugden or his retinue take trance of either the Panglung Oracle, the Gameng Oracle, or any other oracle for that matter, they speak in the language that the oracle speaks. For example, if the oracle himself speaks Tibetan, and as Dorje Shugden temporarily inhabits the body of the oracle, he uses the faculties of the oracle's body to speak in Tibetan. Similarly, if Dorje Shugden was to take trance in an oracle that spoke English, he would communicate with practitioners in English. And you are right in saying that neither the Panglung or Gameng Oracles speak in a "Twilight" language. In fact, they both speak in very clear Tibetan when in trance, as both oracles speak and communicate in Tibetan primarily. Now, for Nechung, he does indeed speak in a "Twilight" language when in trance of his oracle. Therefore, his predictions and what he says requires 'translation' into ordinary language. This 'translation' is done by the oracle's assistants who are said to have been trained in understanding this language. The strange thing is that it is not clear who actually teaches these assistants this "Twilight" language. On top of that since the 'translation' comes from ordinary monks, instead of through the oracle and therefore directly from Nechung himself, they can be swayed by outside influence. Therefore you are totally correct is deducing that they could indeed be pressured or bribed into 'translating' something entirely false. I hope this helps. Thank you.
- June 8, 2018 01:37Eric asked: Hello Pastor Niral Are there recognized Oracles that "Channel" Dharmapalas? I have seen H.E. Tsem Tulku's youtube video on "Taking Trances". In it he speaks about Oracles that take "Trance" and also Oracles that "Channel" beings. Could you also explain for me more in depth teachings about "Channeling". Thank youPastor Niral Patel answered: Dear Eric, It is really nice to see you here again. As far as I am aware there are no 'recognised' oracles that can channel, and the reason for this is that taking full and complete trance is considered a higher ability within Tibetan Buddhism, as it allows the deity complete control over the body and speech of the oracle, in order to communicate with practitioners. The ability of channeling would necessarily be a part of an oracles training. As it takes time for the oracle's mind to leave their body completely so that the deity can enter. As you probably already know, when an oracle takes trance their consciousness leaves the body completely, allowing the energies of the deity to enter. Channeling is different in that the consciousness of oracle does not leave completely, therefore there can be some degree of mental awareness on the part of the oracle during the process. I hope this helps. Please do post again if there is anything more specific you would like to know. Thank you.
- June 2, 2018 02:19Jean asked: I read the Dorje shugden post and I have some questions. People can use black magic to harm people - by cursing them with spirits. I am worried that is it possible , in any way for these people to use black magic to somehow STEAL your merits or good fortune psychically? Is that possible? This thought scare me a lot.Pastor Niral Patel answered: Dear Jean, Thank you for posting another question. I'm glad that you have read the Dorje Shugden post. According to Buddhist philosophy there is no way that anyway can steal your merits or good fortune. Merits are your own, and good fortune is based on karma, which is again your own. These cannot be stolen by anyone, because it belongs to us and everyone has their own karma and merits. Now, when we are cursed with black magic and it seems that our good fortune goes down, what is actually happening. At this point, due to the effects of the black magic, our karma to experience good fortune takes a back seat, while our karma to experience suffering ripens and we feel its effects. But why does this happen? To experience karma, either good or bad, the causes and conditions for it to arise must be there. For example, you have the karma to eat apples. If you live in a land where apples grow, or can be imported from other countries, then you are able to eat apples. But if you live in a country where apples do not grow, and there is no way to get apples from other countries, even though you have the karma to eat apples, you will not be able to eat them. Similarly, when we are cursed by black magic, the conditions are there for us to experience the negative effects of our karma. Therefore it seems that our good fortune has declined, or that someone has stolen it. This isn't the case, but it's that the conditions are there for our negative karma to manifest. That is why in Buddhism an emphasis is placed on purifying negative karma, and in not creating further negative karma by leading a good life. When we do that, in the future we will not suffer. However, before then, if we are afflicted by black magic, the compassionate enlightened beings have appeared in forms that can help us alleviate the effects of our karma. These practices work by purifying the karma that causes us suffering and at the same time generating vast amounts of merit, which overshadow the effects of our negative karma, so that our situation improves. One such practice is the practice of Trakze Dorje Shugden, which you can find here: http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/trakze-to-dispel-black-magic-spirits.html I hope the above explanation helps. Do post again if you have further questions. Thank you.
- June 1, 2018 04:47Eric w. asked: I have a question about karma and absolute reality. Let's say for example my friend is murdered Would it be his karma to murdered And would that be the perpetrator karma to be murder someone Like if some one just randomly hits you whose karma is it? Is it the person karma to hit you Who receives the karma for it which brings me To the question of absolute reality as I see it if everything is emptiness than in like in the heart sutra nothing is happening everything is as emptiness or an expression of Brahman as my Hindu understanding of it.how in whose responsible for the intiail karma in the convential The reason I m asking is for the injustices of the world like the nazi holocaust If you were an ss soldier and you killed Jews Whose actually doing this whose karma is it Is it the as soldiers to kill Jews or is it the Jews karma This is part of karma I don't understand. Thank you Pastor Niral Patel answered: Dear Eric, Thank you for your very interesting question. Karma and reality according to Buddhist philosophy is a very deep subject, and one that requires some amount of study to understand. Therefore, I would just like to being by saying that whatever I write here will not do it justice because the space is very limited. If I may, I would like to suggest that you read the sections on Karma in Pabongka Rinpoche’s text called Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand. Pabongka Rinpoche’s explanation is much more comprehensive, and later on in the same book, the subject of emptiness is dealt with. That text will provide you with a much better understanding of this. There is also an excellent teaching on karma given by His Eminence the 25th Tsem Rinpoche available here: http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/discovering-yourself-a-teaching-on-karma-mindstream.html. It describes how we actually can live by the law of karma in our daily lives to better ourselves. To start off, in the case of murder, the one who is murdered themselves created the karma to be murdered in previously lives. Perhaps they killed someone themselves. But this karma needed a trigger to be opened, and that is the situation that arose that led them to be murdered. If the situation was different, then obviously they would not have been murdered. Now the murderer, him or herself created the karmic propensity to murder people, so perhaps in many previously lifetimes they killed people again and again. This left what is known as a negative imprint in the mindstream, which is to murder someone. So you see karma is not so straightforward as most people believe. If there are two people involved, then it is actually the karma and imprints of both of these people that leads to the outcome. In the case of someone randomly hitting you. You have the karma to be randomly hit, which comes from previous lives, but the person who hit you also has the karma and karmic imprints of violence within their mindstream so that they are violent enough to hit a complete stranger. In regards to reality, there is what is known as conventional reality, which is what we live through due to our karma and delusions, but there is also an ultimate reality. Pabongka Rinpoche’s explanation of this in the text I mentioned before will provide a better understanding of this for you. So you see, karma is multifaceted and not simply a 1-for-1 rule. In any situation, it depends on all the people/beings involved, as well as the situation, and the karma and imprints from previous lives. I do apologise if this explanation does not make too much sense, but it is hard to explain all of this in such a short space. The text Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand will provide you a much better understanding.

- May 31, 2018 00:47Eric asked: Hello Pastor Wel know that Dorje Shugden is a Dharmapala. We know that it was the 31th Sakya Trizin who first "Officially" recognized Dorje Shugden as a Dharmapala. Who was it in the Gelugpa lineage that "Recognized" Dorje Shuden as a Dharmapala and in what year was it? Thank youPastor Niral Patel answered: Dear Eric, It is really nice to see you here again. You're right about the fact that the 31st Sakya Trizin, among many other Sakya masters recognised Dorje Shugden as a Dharma protector. Technically speaking, the person who official recognised Dorje Shugden as a Dharma protector within the Gelug tradition is actually His Holiness the 5th Dalai Lama, who offered the site of Trode Khangsar, in Lhasa to Dorje Shugden. This was one of the Dalai Lama's 'picnic' sites, which he offered to Dorje Shugden for a shrine to be built there. It lies off the side of the larger circumambulation path of the Potala Palace in Lhasa. His Holiness the 5th Dalai Lama even composed a prayer to Dorje Shugden in the form of a Dharma protector, which you find here: http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/dorje-shugden/the-14th-dalai-lamas-prayer-to-dorje-shugden.html Trode Khangsar was later entrusted to Riwo Choling Monastery, and had 11 monks and an oracle stationed there at all times for the purposes of propitiating Dorje Shugden. So even though Dorje Shugden became an important protector practice within the Sakya tradition, it had already been established within the Gelug tradition. Many great masters of the Gelug tradition composed prayers to the protector, but it really wasn't until Pabongka Rinpoche and his gurus did the practice really take hold throughout the entire tradition. I hope this explanation helps. Thank you.
- May 30, 2018 02:30Jean asked: For establishing a shrine at home - is a Buddha in the Bhumisparsha Mudra good? And is it the same as Shakyamuni Buddha? Can we pray to both as Shakyamuni? I am really curious, if there is a difference. Pastor Niral Patel answered: Dear Jean, Thank you for your question. Yes, actually the images of the Buddha in the Bhumisparsha Mudra and Shakyamuni Buddha are one and the same. There is no difference between the both of them. The Bhumisparsha Mudra (meaning "earth-touching" mudra) is representative of very moment of Buddha Shakyamuni's enlightenment. It is said that at the moment of enlightenment, he touched the earth and called upon her to witness his enlightenment. Therefore, this image of the Buddha is very common. Either Shakyamuni Buddha in meditative posture, or in the Bhumisparsha Mudra is perfect for one's shrine at home. Which representation you choose is up to you personal preference, because both are the same, just represented in a different manner. I hope this helps. Thank you.
