Question asked by Margo
Hello Pastor
Could you please tell me what the daily practice is for the Dharmapala Methar.
Here is the link to an article Tsem Rinpoche did on Methar who is part of Dorje Shugden's retinue via Kache Marpo.

Thank you
Dear Margo,
There’s not much information about Dharmapala Methar. The only practice I know about Methar is the praise composed by H.E. Tsem Rinpoche. It’s on the blog post which you shared the link.

Praise to Tengyeling’s Dharmaphala Methar
The great incarnation whose nature is Yamantaka,
whose countless deeds of bringing many who are ripened
onto the path of the sublime Sage (Shakyamuni), to
this wondrous incarnation named His Holiness
Kyabje Demo Hutuktu Rinpoche, I offer obeisance!
Moist with devotion, faith and service to the great Demo Hutuktu,
Stalwart devotee Methar accepted wrongly the punishments due to others’ greed.
Although his lama, monastery and Methar himself the treasurer were innocent, all was lost.
Flayed, tortured and stabbed, Methar focused on his lama and the truth as his life force drained.
Arise Dharmaphala Methar, oath bound by the compassion of Serkong Dorje Chang,
Fulfill your duty and give me your protection, potent signs and ever constant presence.
May I gain bodhicitta and arise in the form of the Sugata. Homage to the
Tengyeling Monastic treasurer arising as Dharmaphala Methar who served his lama completely!
Mantra: OM DHARMAPALA METHAR SARWA SIDDHI HUNG HUNG
(recite many times to invoke Methar’s assistance and energy)
