Question asked by roy
good afternoon pastors,
i have been watching your videos about the sadhanas of dorje shugden and begun the practice for about a year now. i find that when i am going through some stuff or about to go through some stuff in life, i would always have dreams about the protector in the form of a statue and there would be multiple statues of him all around or sometimes i would dream of tsem rinpoche. But i also saw a teaching by tsem rinpoche in youtube about spirits saying how incredibly sneaky they are and how they can trick you by appearing in your dreams or in real life as certain deities for example ,mother tara. Should i be worried about these dreams? currently these dreams dont bother me much as ive gotten used to it but i am quite curious to know about whats going on.
thank you so much pastors _/\_
Dear Roy,
There can be many different reasons for why you having these dreams from simple subconscious processing of daily life, possibility of spirits, or perhaps even Dorje Shugden just showing you a sign that he is with you since you have been engaging in the practice. The exact reason is hard to tell without more details of what has been happening.
Whatever the case may be, you should just think that saw the form of an enlightened being in your dream. Take it for what it is, and then try not to attribute much more thought to it. Simply continue to practice your daily sadhana, etc.
However, if you hear voices or something tells you do something in the dream, please do message back. You can email care@kechara.com and ask to speak to a Pastor who can help judge what is happening in that case. I hope that helps.
