A good friend to have
Today in Kechara May 1, 2015. Dorje Shugden monthly puja and prayer.
Monthly puja to Dorje Shugden is performed in the special chapel dedicated to Dorje Shugden that seats 700. Shakyamuni’s holy statue is here temporarily till we move him to the new prayer hall we are building in Phase 2. Kechara people doing prostrations before they start their monthly puja.
Dear friends,
After my guru’s passing which affected me deeply, for the last 30 years I’ve found solace, direction, wisdom and solutions within the teachings of Lord Buddha. This has been my real refuge and continue to be and will always be. I trust Lord Buddha’s teachings completely amidst all the chaos in my mind around me. But at times my karma just gets the best of the situation. Situations can become overwhelming as we all know. During my time with my precious guru, he imparted to me the practice of Dorje Shugden and told me compassionately this will help me get over so much problems and difficulties in the future. He asked nothing of me but only gave me the best and what he had practiced his whole life. I know my guru loves me and I love him and trust him. He gave me what he knows will help me. Living a fruitful life of Dharma for 81 years, he would have the wisdom to give me what I need. I trusted him and will always do so. Since then for the last 30 years I’ve put my heart into Buddha’s Dharma practice and failing at times, I invoked the assistance of Dorje Shugden. The Dharma didn’t fail me, but because I am ordinary, I failed at times overtaken by results of my past karma. Sometimes overwhelmed by loneliness, sadness, difficulties, financial hardships and almost giving up hope I turned to Dorje Shugden many times. Without fail and at times with clear definite signs, Dorje Shugden has assisted me as promised by my guru. I reflect back with gratitude. Dorje Shugden has never asked anything of me except to practice Dharma, transform my mind, apply lojong teachings and be of tremendous benefit to others. I am not a tremendous benefit to others, but I have applied the teachings of Buddha to transform my mind failing at times and triumphant at other times. Dorje Shugden always advises to take refuge in Buddha, be aware of karma and basically do onto others what Buddha has taught. Dorje Shugden is very ‘loyal’ to Buddha for lack of a better word. He consistently advises me this via the oracle and written in his puja texts. Kechara’s success today is a testimony to the assistance and power of Dorje Shugden for sure. You can have this for yourself too.
Now after 30 years of trusting Dorje Shugden and receiving so much benefits from him, I’ve decided to share his practice with my friends, students and people around the world. I’ve had many wonderful friends assist me. We always talk about how much a guru has assisted their students, but I would like to say how much my friends/students have assisted me in the last decades. I am grateful to them. All my ‘works’ cannot be carried out without them. I am grateful to my friends/students always. Therefore I think always how to repay their kindness in this life and help them in their future lives. The answer is Dharma and Dorje Shugden. Dharma for long term and Dorje Shugden for getting to that goal. Hence I share Dorje Shugden with them and many. My motivation is strictly that this practice has benefitted me and I saw this clearly as I am pragmatic and I wish to benefit others. I wish to repay their help, love and kindness. Being an ordinary person without much abilities, I cannot do much for now to heal or help many sadly, but I know if I introduce people to Dorje Shugden, he can help. He will help as he has helped me. With Dharma in their minds and Dorje Shugden assisting them, I know I have given something very good to my friends and everyone around the world. I know I have placed them into good hands. That is my only motivation as it always has been.
Today in Kechara, our wonderful people have offered their monthly puja (kangsol) (see photos) to Dorje Shugden. I rejoice for them as many of them are very good people and have problems just like you and me. When they rely on Dorje Shugden as I have offered them, I feel I have placed very good people into the very capable hands of this World Peace protector Dorje Shugden. Dorje Shugden can bless, protect, foretell the future, help find resources, give hope, give advice, dispense attainments and even be a friend to these people and everyone. He is active, alive, real, compassionate and like a protective father will watch over them as my guru taught and as I have witnessed in my life. I feel privileged to share Dorje Shugden with my close friends and many around the world who come to me and seek help, or just need protection and guidance. I feel when many people place hope and trust in an ordinary being like myself or in samsara’s ‘delights’, they go away empty. But if they come to me and go away with Dorje Shugden, I feel I placed them in the care of someone very powerful and wise. I feel I did something good. I feel worthy of their friendship, care and love. In life we get and we give. What we give is more important. I offer humbly Dorje Shugden’s practice to everyone and I hope they adopt this powerful ally and friend. For those who have adopted, I feel I have repaid your kindness, not that you were expecting repayment. For those around the world who follow me on social media, I have introduced something helpful to you and I am happy about that. For my friends on social media (Fb/twitter/blog/etc) that I may one day meet or never meet, if I bring Dorje Shugden to you, then our time shared together online has value. I want to give that value to you. I know you go through so much and some of you don’t have any dharma friends or centres or guidance nearby. I feel bad for you, but with Dorje Shugden, he can help you. Just practice dharma and invoke his blessings and see with time how he helps. He will help. Dorje Shugden is not a substitute for genuine Dharma practice but he will assist you along the way for your virtuous wishes as all of us encounter so many obstacles due to our karma and minds. That is the job of a Dharma protector. This is my offering to close friends, students, supporters and friends around the world I’ve not met or met briefly. May you all be well.
Dorje Shugden was given to me by my incredibly erudite and attained guru and now I humbly pass it to everyone in person and through social media. I fold my hands to everyone and request them to take the hands of this holy protector and you will never be alone again. You will have a powerful ally, a friend and a real protector who he himself follows the teachings of Buddha. Who operates from compassion as he is fully enlightened. I humbly offer Dorje Shugden to all of you to overcome the trials and tribulations in life we have to endure on our journey. I offer you my friend, something precious. May I be worthy of your friendship always,
Tsem Rinpoche
As you know Dorje Shugden for the last 400 years have had official oracles recognized by the monasteries and high lamas. I have never shared these pictures before and this is the first time. This is the famous Panglung monk oracle of Tibet who has been taking trance of Dorje Shugden, Setrap, Kache Marpo, Namka Barzin, etc for over 35 years. He was trained by His Holiness Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche and His Eminence Kyabje Domo Geshe Rinpoche. He was fully authorized and enthroned as an oracle of Dorje Shugden by His Holiness Trijang Rinpoche and Sera Mey Monastery. This oracle visited Kechara and took trance of Dorje Shugden and Kache Marpo. I’ve had the great honor to speak with my protector directly during this time again.

When i read this article again, H.E Tsem Rinpoche have passed away. And, he left us many percious teachings. To me, the most valuable teachings that my guru have gave to me was Dorje Shugden’s practices. Truly, when my friends, families, sponsors or even myself faced challenges, by doing prayer to Dorje Shugden and surrender to Dorje Shugden, i can see the challenges that faced will be resolved. Either resolved as per our wishes or resolved to a better solutions.
When I worried about my families, friends etc, i always prayed to Dorje Shugden. And, i can see how Dorje Shugden protect them. I know, by introduce Dorje Shugden to them, they can be taking care of. Not only this life but many life times to come until they be enlighten. This is how powerful Dorje Shugden can be. Yes, HE can guide us many lifetimes until we be a Buddha.
Thus, instead living in fear, worried. Just followed Dorje Shugden. As an enlighten dharma protrctor, when we followed Dorje Shugden, we are also practicing Buddhism.
I thanks my Guru H.E Tsem Rinpoche for giving me Dorje Shugden practices and I hopes many sentient beings have an opportunity to meet Dorje Shugden.
Thank you Tsem Rinpoche for sharing with us such a powerful and beneficial practice. If it is not because of how Tsem Rinpoche heavily promotes Dorje Shugden on the social media, I won’t have known about the practice and started my spiritual journey.
Dorje Shugden is an emanation of Buddha Manjushri, therefore he is fully enlightened. He arose as a Dharma protector about 400 years ago to help modern people like us in our spiritual practice by removing our obstacles and creating a conducive environment for us to practice Dharma. He is not selectively in who to help, as long as we trust him, regardless of our background or faith, he will help. He doesn’t just help the Buddhists.
I have friends telling me it is not good to practice Dorje Shugden because the Dalai Lama said so. All they know is Dorje Shugden is bad and nothing else. Luckily I have read about the issue on Dorje Shugden, I am very convinced he is a Buddha based on the fact that he cannot be subdued by any high lama. A spirit or demon cannot be more powerful than a Buddha. If Dorje Shugden cannot be subdued, the only reason is that he is also a Buddha.
Mantras are sacred verbalized words that invoke the protection and blessings of the deity to whom the mantra is ascribed. Mantras are also the manifestations of Buddhas in the form of ‘sounds’, hence the various mantras of Dorje Shugden contain the essence of the Protector.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We should fulfil the will of His Holiness the Dalai Lama for an autonomous Tibetan state.
Great message every Tibetan especially must read!
I still love and miss His Holiness the Dalai Lama. I am hoping he will unite all of us no matter what our religion is. I know he will. His Holiness has done so much good in the world. I’ve admired him since I was a very young boy and when I met him for the first time in 1979. He came to Howell, New Jersey where I grew up. It was magical to see him. I pray one day he will accept all Dorje Shugden practitioners as was his root guru was a Dorje Shugden practitioner and invite us into his presence again with love and acceptance. I pray for his long life and continued presence in this world. I never lost hope in His Holiness the Dalai Lama to accept all of us regardless of race, religion, sect and background once again.
I place my unworthy head to his feet, Humbly, Tsem Rinpoche https://www.tsemrinpoche.com
Climbing up the hundreds of steps on a steep slope to reach the Chenreziq cave(during my recent trip to Wu Tai Shan), would have been most daunting, had it not been for my strong faith and trust that my Guru and Dorje Shugden were there with me at every step. As I was in my last 100 steps up , my heart felt like it was giving way. I just didn’t feel any panic. I just surrendered my whole being to my Guru and Shugden and they held me all the way up to the top!May my Guru and Dorje Shugden be with me every step of the way through every lifetime until enlightenment.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Your Eminence for offering and bringing such a wonderful, powerful ally, friend, companion to help us in our journey towards liberation. No amount of words can fully describe our gratitude to Your Eminence through bring this World Peace protector to Malaysia and everyone around the world.
There is also another side that we can’t thank enough is that through offering Dorje Shugden to the public, you have endure so much abuse, (on-line, ridicule, name calling, cursing, and ill will wishes coming from all over the world, in particular those who are still ignorant of how an Enlightened Being works to help us in our Dharma journey.
I am very relieved to hear and know that there are so many practitioners out there that really need the Protector’s help and that genuine help is always extended provided it is done with a sincere mind and heart.
Thank you again Your Eminence.
Humbly yours
Lum Kok Luen
By all accounts, Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was no ordinary monk and those who have met Zong Rinpoche will tell you in no uncertain terms that He could see through a person and it was as if he knows everything about you already – what is in your heart, what is ahead of you and what you need. They will tell you that that Zong Rinpoche omniscience is unmistaken.I have heard this now from many sources.
And although Rinpoche’s time with Zong Rinpoche was relatively short, it was long enough for Zong Rinpoche to give Rinpoche this very powerful gift – a close relationship with Dorje Shugden. Dorje Shugden was the Protector Zong Rinpoche had relied on until his very last days. And if Zong Rinpoche who was in fact one with Heruka saw it fit to rely on Dorje Shugden, then there must be something very special about this deity.
Tsem Rinpoche himself said in this post, how Dorje Shugden has assisted Rinpoche time and time again and most of us know the ordeals Rinpoche has had to endure. Some of the most precious moments I have experienced has been witnessing my Lama converse with my Protector, and then to see the Protector respond in answering prayers is just beyond my wildest imaginations. When you see this, you cannot help but believe for certain that there is a reality beyond the mundane and beyond the ordinary.
One day, when you truly realise what a powerful Buddha Dorje Shugden is, then you will see how truly kind and loving the Guru is, and what a complete friend, father and a mother you have in the Guru.
Rinpoche didn’t spend much time with your root teacher, Kyabje Zong Rinpoche, but within that short amount of time Rinpoche had with Zong Rinpoche, Rinpoche followed through with Zong Rinpoche’s advices and words to the tee till today. Rinpoche exemplifies guru devotion without faltering, and it is amazing the strength Rinpoche has taken from your relationship with Zong Rinpoche to carry on. Rinpoche shows us what can be achieved from guru devotion, and in addition with applying the teachings and trusting the 3 jewels. In the text it says that attainments come from your teacher, therefore guru devotion is one of the keys in one’s practice.
I have also met and spoken to many individuals who have relied on Dorje Shugden, and their lives have turned around. Just having faith, trusting and relying on Dorje Shugden, they have somehow turned a new leaf. Businesses have flourished because of Dorje Shugden’s practice, they have gained a bounce in their step because of Dorje Shugden, negative entities have been expelled because of Dorje Shugden. Therefore, whatever it is, the trust in both Rinpoche and Dorje Shugden creates a very powerful force for one.
Thank you for bringing Dorje Shugden to us, Rinpoche and making His practice available for everyone around the world to do so.
I can’t thank enough Rinpoche for introducing me the practice of Dorje Shugden. I’ve received so much help and benefits from Dorje Shugden in various circumstances, big or small, knowingly and unknowingly. Samsara itself is a big pool of sufferings and most of the time the problem can be very tough and impossible to deal with on our own, therefore the existence of Dorje Shugden is to help us to clear these mundane obstacles and gradually make the path for us to spiritual practice, as Dorje Shugden is none other than the Buddha of wisdom Manjushri.
As Rinpoche mentioned before, after Dorje Shugden has helped us so much in our daily lives, showing gratitude to Dorje Shugden is important as part of our spiritual practice. We can make various offerings such as food offerings to DS daily to generate more merits. Doing so is to cultivate and nurture the gratitude in us, not so much the Buddha wants something in return after helping us. When we express gratitude, it counters jealousy and pride, that’s the big enemy that make our minds happy.
谢谢仁波切的分享。
我很有幸可以通过仁波切认识多杰雄登， 拥有一个非常完整传承的多杰雄登法门，也有机会参加每月在克切拉禅修林举行的多杰雄登法会。
多杰雄登每月法会是在寺院每个月都会进行的， 为了就是感恩多杰雄登对于我们修行路上的帮助。 而且在寺院大家都是一起参加的。 据仁波切的弟子所说， 一起进行多杰雄登法会共修可以让我们累积更多功德， 让我们修行路上更精进， 尤其是当我们要建立佛法中心利益众生的时候， 多杰雄登法会更是重要。
在藏传佛教中， 上师、本尊、护法是三根本， 缺一不可， 所以我觉得非常庆幸我可以接触这个强大的护法—多杰雄登。
谢谢
Thank you Rinpoche for giving us Dorje Shugden practice, even without initiation, we are able to get his protection. I know it is actually not common for people to receive this practice but Rinpoche made it available online for everyone to learn.
Indeed Dorje Shugden gives us the best, but probably not what we want. When we make a wish to Dorje Shugden, he will definitely help us. However, Dorje Shugden might not be giving what we wish for as He has the clairvoyance to know is good for us. The good for us simply means happiness, no sufferings. Therefore, when we pray to Dorje Shugden for happiness, whatever happens after that is what we have to experience to arrive at the destination called happiness. The experience may be a painful one, or happy one due to our karmas, but it is definitely something we have to go through to reach the destination.
Rely on Dorje Shugden, have faith in Him, everything will be fine. Just look at how much Dorje Shugden has helped Rinpoche and Kechara, this are the proof.
感谢仁波切的分享与教诲，
仁波切把最珍贵的东西给我们，那就是“佛法”，在 Dorje Shugden: My side of the story | 多杰雄登：我这方面的说法 中 http://bit.ly/1P2fzDr 仁波切有非常清楚的说明，关于仁波切如何从他的上师那里，获得“多杰雄登”护法整个传承的正统，身为一位佛法上师或是弟子，我们如果从上师中或的任何的佛法教诲，包括任何的，比如来自于佛陀的教诲，菩提道次第广论，宗喀巴大师上师瑜伽法，多杰雄登护法等等，我们都必须延续下去，因为佛法上师就是要把最珍贵的佛法教诲传承给弟子，而弟子继续延续下去，那么来自佛陀，众多伟大的佛法上师如（赤江仁波切，宋仁波切，包括尊贵的达赖喇嘛传承才不会被间断。
感谢仁波切把所有他学习到的，无私与大爱的教导我们，祈愿尊贵的詹杜固仁波切长住在世，常转法轮。
谢谢

Gratitude is one of the key teachings Rinpoche often teaches us. In this article Rinpoche wrote about his Gratitude towards his gurus and also DS. I remember once when I was fortunate enough to be in an teaching audience and Rinpoche actually mentioned that through propitiating & relying on DS as one with your lama, he will be your best friend for lives. The direction which he shows us might not be what we “hope”for with our short sightedness but it will benefit us always in the long term.
And as for me, I am grateful to Rinpoche and will forever be grateful to my lama.
Thank you Rinpoche for introducing Dorje Shugden practice to us. Dorje Shugden is a Buddha and protector who will assist us in making progress in our Dharma practice by clearing obstacles and making our wishes come true. We have seen how Kechara has grown from the direction from Rinpoche and Rinpoche accredited the growth to Dorje Shugden who is always there to advise Rinpoche. Dorje Shugden has helped Rinpoche and I have faith and trust in my guru that he has given us the best practice to support us in our lives. Thank you for introducing us a real friend to have and can rely on.
I dare not claim that Dorje Shugden is my best friend, because, foremost without our Guru, I will not be introduced to Dorje Shugden. And, the reason I get to “enjoy” the “friendship” with Dorje Shugden because of my Guru. For I have done nothing to deserve a friendship with the protector. The gracious and swift helps from the protector are all a form compassionate gesture from my Guru as a means to nurture me on my spiritual path. For this, I am very grateful. Dorje Shugden helps us remove obstacles on my mundane endeavors and provide a conducive environment for our spiritual practice. We must treasure this wonderful opportunity and practice Dharma all the way. Thank you, Rinpoche, for this sharing.
Dorje Shugden is the best spiritual friend one can have, he can benefit beings of all stature, situation and age. There isn’t any type of people who cannot helped by Dorje Shugden; from the lowest of the low, to the richest people, to the helping the Gelug Lamas their spread the Buddha Dharma.
Naturally as Manjushri, Dorje Shugden is able to help non humans too, clear examples are Domo Geshe helping Methar and Namkar Barzin, who were malevolent spirits.
This is very touching article from Rimpoche. What Rinpoche said is very true. Dorje Shugden(DS) is our best friend who will help us to clear obstacles in our spiritual path or Dharma practice. Furthermore, DS didn’t ask for any returns except that he want Dharma practitioners to mind transform into compassion and wisdom. If we follow the guidelines from DS, we sure can achieve our spiritual goals effortlessly.
I want to thanks Rinpoche to introduce DS to my life. I always trusted on DS no matters the ban imposed on this practice.

A best friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find, lucky to have.
Friendship is one mind in two bodies and its about who we’ve known and who is always there to be with us at all times.That is dorje Shugden who is always with us and will help us nor matter where and times.As long as we have faith and trust in our powerful Protector Dorje Shugden,he will be our great friend.
Thank you Rinpoche through your kindness,caring,and compassion we are fortunate to meet and know Rinpoche’s great friend.
Yes a good friend is indeed very hard to find. But we are so privileged that through the benevolence of our kind Guru Tsem Tulku Rinpoche we are introduced to this great friend, Dorje Shugden. If we place our faith in Dorje Shugden, He will protect and help us in times of need. This great friend has helped me in my spiritual path and changed my life for the better. Thank you Rinpoche for your tireless efforts in sharing and spreading the practice of Dorje Shugden to benefit so many.
With folded palms,
Esther
A good friend is hard to find. One who shares your woes and shows you guidance and the way out. One who shares your joys with auspicious signs. Such is the friendship you will get with Dorje Shugden.
It is very generous of H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche to share with so many of us, some whom he knows personally and some he may not have met. This a true bodhichitta generosity.
Not only does Rinpoche share by this blog but also a complete guidance to the study and practice of this great friend, Dorje Shugden can be found at http://www.dorjeshugen.org.
With faith and virtuous motivation, your life will be much easier and your Buddhist practice will be smooth. This statement is testimony to my personal experience.
This is an interesting and uncommon view of why His Holiness the Dalai Lama imposed the Dorje Shugden ban. The commenter ‘Suzy in Hawaii’ is honest to say that despite not wanting to, she could not help seeing the beauty in the Dorje Shugden practice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl-4lIwxph4&t=11s
Dorje Shugden is definitely a good friend to have and to keep with us for eternity.I hope more people will have the karmic affinity to meet and invite him home as a trusted friend,guardian angel and protector.
Thank you very much my dearest Guru for sharing this Great Dharma Protector with us _/\_
Trode Khangsar Chapel in Lhasa, TibetOver 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.

The 5th Dalai Lama’s Prayer to Dorje ShugdenHUM
Though unmoving from the sphere of primordial spontaneity,
With wrathful turbulent power, swifter than lightning,
Endowed with heroic courage to judge good and bad,
I invite you with faith, please come to this place!
Robes of a monk, crown adorned with rhinoceros leather hat,
Right hand holds ornate club, left holds a human heart,
Riding various mounts such as nagas and garudas,
Who subdues the mamos of the charnel grounds, praise to you!
Samaya substances, offerings and torma, outer, inner and secret,
Favourite visual offerings and various objects are arranged.
Although, previously, my wishes were a bit dense,
Do not stop your powerful apparitions, I reveal and confess!
Now respectfully praising with body, speech, and mind,
For us, the masters, disciples, benefactors and entourages,
Provide the good and avert the bad!
Bring increase like the waxing moon in spiritual and temporal realms!
Moreover, swiftly accomplishing all wishes,
According to our prayers, bestow the supreme effortlessly!
And like the jewel that bestows all wishes,
Always protect us with the Three Jewels!
From: http://www.dorjeshugden.org/practice/the-5th-dalai-lamas-prayer-to-dorje-shugden
Tibetan prayer from: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/dorje-shugden/the-14th-dalai-lamas-prayer-to-dorje-shugden.html
If HHDL, the Chenrezig can be harmed by Dorje Shugden, then Dorje Shugden is very powerful. If Dorje Shugden is such a powerful evil spirit, how come he allowed those anti Shugden people continue to harm his worshipers? Why he did not stop them?
Because Dorje Shugden is a Buddha, compassion is his nature. He harm no body but protecting the Dharma from being misused, so that we can practice the pure teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa teachings.
So are those who going against Dorje Shugden trying to manipulate the pure Dharma?
Dorje Shugden is given to me by my Holy Guru, H.E. 25th Tsem Rinpoche. Dorje Shugden is a Buddha but His job now is a protector, hence He is here to take care of us and make sure we can pursue our Dharma journey smoothly. He’s especially good in guarding our minds.
Thank you Rinpohce, you have given the 2 most precious gifts in my life, the Dharma and Dorje Shugden.
Venerable and Dear Rinpoche.
I thank you sincerely for Your activity benefitting living beings! I wonder if Dorje Shugden practice may be a practice for everyday use and how to receive a transmission to it. Valeria Steyne from Russia _()_
Hi Valeria,
Thanks so much for leaving a comment. Yes, Dorje Shugden may be relied upon as a daily practice. In light of this, Rinpoche has compiled for us a set of prayers which anyone can recite. It is compiled from His Holiness Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche’s “Melodious Drum Victorious in All Directions” so definitely an authentic source 🙂 you can find these daily prayers here: http://www.vajrasecrets.com/diamond-path
Also, if you would like to learn more about Dorje Shugden (knowledge results in stable faith and consistent practice!), you can check out http://www.dorjeshugden.org
To receive a transmission or initiation on Dorje Shugden practice, you need to have a relationship with a qualified lama who you feel confident in. The basis of attainments for any transmission and / or initiation for any practice is guru devotion.
Again thanks for leaving a comment and let us know how you get on, and if you have any other questions!
Pastor Jean Ai
Dear Jean Ai,
thank you very much for your response!
Dear Rinpoche,
Thank you for your compassion and for the precious gift for us. I shall always rely upon him along my spiritual journey. And may all fortunate ones meet him and be benefited. _()_
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing the World Peace Dhama Protector to us. I’m very grateful to be able to learn Dorje Shugden practice. If it is not because Rinpoche’s compassion to introduce and share this practice to us, I may not even have a chance to learn.
Dorje Shugden will always assist us to clear our obstacles due to our karma and mind. Dorje Shugden is definitely a good friend to have. I hope more people will know this great protector and benefit from the dharma practice.
Thank you Rinpoche for giving me Dorje Shugden. I am indeed very fortunate to be given such a powerful dharma protector to watch over and guide me not just in this life but in many more lives to come… until I achieve Bodhichitta (I know it’s going to be quite a long while lol).
I know I would not still be here or alive if it wasn’t for Dorje Shugden and yes whenever I feel like giving up, he will immediately be there to skilfully get me back on track even though sometimes it requires some “purification” process.
I believe that it is probably Dorje Shugden that led me to Rinpoche, I feel as if He has always been there watching me. Even before I got into Buddhism, I always felt I was “protected” by some divine being, an angel or something because I was following my mom’s faith at that time who is a Catholic. Then came the day I finally met Him which was the day Rinpoche threw a surprised Birthday celebration for me in the BU ladrang (this was after our first Dzambala teaching by Rinpoche at Lee Hoe’s place).
I remembered Rinpoche asked me to offer a piece of my birthday cake to this Dharma protector and to make a good prayer. At that time I had no idea who this Buddha was but I just knew He was very very special and great. Then over the years I keep stumbling upon this great protector’s images and statues and still not knowing who He was, I was curiously captivated by Him.
When Rinpoche finally introduced me to Him and Rinpoche took my hand and placed it in protector’s hand and said He will be my protector until I achieve Bodhichitta and I knew I have finally found my dharma protector, not a friend, not just an ally, but my big guardian angel… to me Dorje Shugden was my divine god-father and I will forever be grateful to Rinpoche for this most precious gift of love and care and I hope to be of worthy of receiving this precious gift from Rinpoche. Thank you so much Rinpoche!
With Folded Hand,
Joy
Dear Rinpoche,
Like to thank you for teachings on Dorje Shugden, and its benefiting us thousands miles away.. From your teachings I not only learnt great details about Dorje Shugden and also got faith and hope towards to this great protector.
When I see Dorje Shugden get trance thru a Oracle Its give me so much hope and security that Dorje Shugden is so real, Living among us somewhere.. not a man made myth..
Thank you Rinpoche _/\_ _/\_ _/\_
May 27, 2015- Today I had the honour of meeting a very special person who is respected by millions around the world. The Panglung Kuten (or Choje-la) is the official oracle of Dorje Shugden who was personally trained by the previous Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche. He has been taking trance for over 30 years and consulted by the highest lamas to monasteries.
Choje-la confirmed for us some very excting and profound news about the various previous incarnations of our guru Tsem Rinpoche. Through Choje-la both in and out of trance, we have learned that Rinpoche has many incarnations that stretches back for hundreds of years. He has identified them and related who they are to us. We were thrilled and not surprised but happy.
It was a very enlightening and special breakfast, not just because of who I had the privilege to sit with but because of the news Choje-la kindly confirmed to us. Indeed a meeting I will not quickly forget. This is not my only time I had the chance to meet Choje-la and certainly not the last.

“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
Thank you Rinpoche. You have given me and others the best gift of all the practice of Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden. Ever since you gave the practice to me, Shugden has never failed to come to my help in times of need. Yes, as Rinpoche says, our main practice is mind transformation and Lojong. But there have been many occasions when tremendous obstacles and problems have arisen and I have had to turn to my guardian angel, Shugden, who has helped me at every turn and step in my life. Yes, he is my guardian angel.
When I visited my three month old grandson for the first time, I chanted Om Benza Wiki Bittana Soha and asked my guardian angel to be his guardian angel too, after invoking the blessings of the Three Jewels on him. Shugden’s the mantra I chant all the time for everyone. Shugden’s mantra is the mantra I have shared with many people in crisis.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing the practice of Shugden with people everywhere.
Yes, Dorje Shugden is the best friend one can ever have and in my case, I pray that I will be able to be his friend throughout this life and many lives in the future until I gain enlightenment.
I have had this dearest friend for the last 20 years and had no knowledge of who He is. My introduction to Dorje Shugden was by a “lay” monk whom I called as Yong Sifu who had a Tibetan Temple in Perak. Yong Sifu gave me a poster photo of Dorje Shugden and told me to put the photo at my altar and just offer incense daily like I do for Shakyamuni Buddha. I asked if there was a special mantra to recite but was told that it was not necessary and just pray to Dorje Shugden as a wealth Buddha. Sad to say at that point I did not even know his name.
Fortunately for me I met my Guru, HE Tsem Rinpoche and from then on I learnt about the doctrine and lineage of Dorje Shugden. With this knowledge, I reflected how much ”wellness and good fortune” had happened to me.
Accidents with members of the family had occurred on many occasions and every time, there was no severity of injuries. Although with the advancement of age, my health seems to be in good condition.
The most important event was how, on meeting a Tibetan Lama, one of my beloved family member was cured of cancer. This very vivid event happened 20 years ago. Later I realised that this Tibetan Lama is a devote Shugden Lama.
During the last 20 years, although I have met with very difficult financial and commercial issues, somehow they are resolved with minimal or no loss at all.
As I progress on my spiritual as a practising Buddhist, the greatest gift that this great friend of mine has endowed me with is the Dharma. In the same breath, my realisation of this great Protector and Friend, is the blessings and teachings from my Precious Guru, Tsem Rinpoche.
My greatest appreciation to HE Tsem Rinpoche and Dorje Shugden. May their blessings be bestowed on more and more sentient beings, in the same way how I have benefitted in trusting my Guru and propitiation of Dorje Shugden.
Thank you new to me
“You will have a powerful ally, a friend and a real protector who he himself follows the teachings of Buddha. Who operates from compassion as he is fully enlightened.”
Thank you Rinpoche for your great kindness to offer your reliable friend, the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden to us. Just like how you trust your beloved Lama, similarly, I too trust you fully, for I know with your love for us, you will only offer the best to us.
You have the wisdom to know what is the best and definitely Lord Shugden is the best help for us. For the past 30 years, Rinpoche have trusted Dorje Shugden and received so much benefits from Him, I am sure He will do the same to me and other students.
Over the years that I have rely on Him, I can confidently say that Lord Dorje Shugden is definitely a true friend for me 🙂
I and other people were very fortunate to meet the famous Panglung oracle when he spontaneously visited to take trance of Dorje Shugden and healed Tsem Rinpoche’s illness. That was my first time witnessing the miraculous healing power of Dorje Shugden and it was a wonderful and profound experience.
Dorje Shugden is a very good friend to have.
Thank You Rinpoche for sharing the most beneficial Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden with us. Rinpoche has received this practice from His Guru and He shares with the world. Yes, if we practice Dorje Shugden, we will never be alone again, He watches over us, how fortunate we are.
Dorje Shugden will guide us so that we can practice the highest, which is Dharma. Dorje Shugden arose 400 years ago that is why He is very swift and close to our time.
Thank You for sharing the holy pictures of Rinpoche with the oracle.
May Dorje Shugden benefit many people and may the Dharma spread into the 10 directions.
Audience with the oracle and protector himself present is truly blessed. With Rinpoche kindness with able received direct blessing from Dorje Shugden. I felt overwhelm with my emotion and bring more courage and develop strong faith to protector. In that event when line up to receive blessing from protector. Rinpoche is introduce us to protector one by one. During my turn to received blessing from protector,i remember rinpoche pass the word to me to prepare my monk-hood. Since I met with protector through different oracle, protector advice to me always consistent. Do dharma work,i will find happiness.Hold the vow well and live like a monk.I have no doubt my decision to want to become a monk today. All these are blessed with my lama and protector.
Thank you Rinooche for such a lovely post. The best gift in my life is Rinpoche’s teachings on Dorje Shugden. Anyone who knows about Dorje Shugden, knew that Dorje Shugden is not only “a good friend to be” but a guru, a yidam and protector. He protected us just like a loving father. Not only I witnessed how Dorje Shugden healed and guided Rinpoche, but how Dorje Shugden helped me through out my difficult time upon Rinpoche’s request. I knew He’s with me all the time helping me to fulfilled my tasks in Dharma like a loving brother who helped the little sister without letting her know. But I know He is there because he answered to my requests even extended His power to bless and protect my love ones. Guarding my contemanaded mind and keeping at the right path.
Without Rinpoche’s unconditional care and love to teach and keeping the pure lineage to continue, there will be no Dorje Shugden in my life. Whoever has the merits to read and learn about Dorje Shugden here, all due to Rinpoche’s kindness. We are very very fortunate. Thank you Rinpoche for loving us teaching us and giving us the most precious gift in our lives.
“he imparted to me the practice of Dorje Shugden and told me compassionately this will help me get over so much problems and difficulties in the future. He asked nothing of me but only gave me the best and what he had practiced his whole life. I know my guru loves me and I love him and trust him. He gave me what he knows will help me.”
I feel the same as what Rinpoche wrote above. I know that our Guru love us and that is why He is doing the same. Giving us only the best that will help us on our spiritual path. Such a beautiful sharing!
I and many other in Kechara are really blessed to be part of the monthly puja in Kechara Forest Retreat. A practice so sacred that have been passed on through a pure lineage.
We can never repay Rinpoche’s kindness in giving us the many precious practices especially this one.
I love the mystical part of oracle taking trance. I do hope that Kechara will have its own oracle soon to bless the many that come to see Him and seek His advice.
Thank you very much for this post Rinpoche and I personally feel that the title ‘A good friend to have’ is very apt. Ever since I met the Dharma through Rinpoche’s teachings I have always loved it. But even then its an understatement because the Dharma provides so much more than merely a nice feeling. It provides an understanding, an acceptance of things that is both liberating and empowering. But it is when I met Dorje Shugden that Dharma came alive and became very personal.
To me Dorje Shugden is not a deity up on an altar that I pray to and ask for blessings, but somehow still disconnected from and ‘inaccessible’. I have seen Rinpoche’s real-life relationship with this Buddha and I have seen how this holy being guided my teacher, healed my teacher, and encouraged my teacher, and continue to. Like a loving father would his son. And I have witnessed Rinpoche’s complete trust and devotion in Dorje Shugden. To me, it is like the 50 Verses of Guru Devotion being played out in real life. And over time I have seen how Dorje Shugden is present in my life and he is always there and has saved me when I was inches away from losing my life. These are not stories I have heard but very personal experiences that I cannot deny or ignore. And to think that I have a Buddha as a friend because by the grace and kindness of my Guru, he extends this Buddha’s love for him to also cover me, is something that humbles me but at the same time strengthens me.
Telling others about Dorje Shugden is just about the only good and truly beneficial thing I have done with my life and like my Guru, I will never stop doing it.
Martin,
Your sharing as always are honest, direct, mystical yet down to earth and genuine. Thank you for sharing. I gently request you to offer your body, speech and mind to all the Buddhas and think of only generating stainless bodhicitta daily and firmly. Always bring relief to others no matter how they are….Developing genuine bodhicitta, please let this be your daily inner secret practice determined to achieve it no matter what…. With attainments within our mind, we have no fear of samsara and our continued existence within samsara as samsara will not be in us.
You have my prayers, Tsem Rinpoche
Dear Rinpoche,
Reading Rinpoche’s and Martin’s comments really warms and touches deaply in my heart._/\_
With all my love and support for both of you,
Anne Ong
Dear Martin,
Thanks for your lovely sharing.😘😘Well, I’m not sure why you almost lost your life, and i sincerely hope you’re fine now….guess i still have many things to learn about you.😎😍❤️💛We must always look on the bright side and live positively. I find life is always full of challenges and with new experiences almost everyday.,e.g…especially this covid-19 is a very huge challenge for the whole world. My family and i feel very blessed that we always feel very protected by our Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden and Mother Tara whom i can feel came to me 3 times when i was very ill ,and called out to her and saw her giving me her golden capsules when i was half asleep…Mum and i can feel our beloved Guru’s presence most of the time.🙏🙏🙏🕉🕉☸️☸️. And this is what that is keeping mum and i very inspired to do more dharma social media. May you keep well and blessed with long life and good health to spread more Dharma until Rinpoche’s incarnation comes back to us swiftly🌈🔥💜💜💜😍

One of Rinpoche’s precious gift to us is Dorje Shugden’s practice. Rinpoche advice has always benefited us and never wrong. I have witness it myself and happened to me. With this practice i was given the opportunity to meet my mom that was bed ridden which I never thought i will see her again.
With Rinpoche’s compassion, care and love I believe Dorje Shugden practice and it does bring results not only for me but to many.
Our journey in samsara is dictate by our karma but Rinpoche gives us an opportunity to change our journey in spiritual for a better future. Rinpoche gives us hope with Dorje Shugden practice to help us and support us in our dharma practice. It’s really a great gift from Rinpoche and is our great merit to be able to receive and practice.
Thank you Rinpoche and we shall share this great and beneficial practice to many people.
The open day in Kechara Forest Retreat on every second Saturday for the public to make offering with this great protector is a great opportunity. May more people able to make connection with him and bring much hope and benefits to them.
I am so happy just looking at these photos and knowing that so many people have benefited from Dorje Shugden’s practice who will guide them in this life and all future lives till enlightenment.
Now that Kechara has opened up Dorje Shugden Chapel in Bentong on every second Saturday of each month to the public, even more will be introduced to this sacred Dharma Protector. I cannot thank Rinpoche enough to confer this practice to me and my family and HE has seen us through several major challenges in our lives. And Rinpoche’s vision to build this beautiful chapel in Kechara for hundreds of practitioners to gather and do prayers.
Thankyou!!! Blessings to you and your team!!!
Rinpoche is so kind and humble… I have obtained many Dharma teachings and wisdom from Rinpoche.
The best gift from Rinpoche is Rinpoche’s teachings, introduction to Lord Tsongkapa, Lord Setrap and of course Lord Dorje Shugden.
Without Rinpoche, I will not learn Dharma and will not have benefitted from the great Protector, Dorje Shugden.
In times when I cannot get answers, Rinpoche guided me to seek answers from Lord Dorje Shugden, and ask me to place great trust and faith in Protector, and Protector will watch over us.
I know Rinpoche and Dorje Shugden always watch over me, over us.
Thank you Rinpoche.
I thank Rinpoche with folded hands for this post. Through the post it has shown the miraculous powers that Dorje Shugden is able to help us with when we fully trust and take the advices from the holy protector seriously.
I am very grateful towards Rinpoche for introducing and sharing with my family about this holy protector. Without Rinpoche sharing with my family about this holy protector, we will not be able to do many things that are done today.
I agree that whenever that we are faced with difficulties we are able to seek refuge in Dorje Shugden. This holy world peace protector would always be able to shine light for us in the most “difficult” journeys of our lives. Guiding us through different signs that are given to us and protecting us always making sure that we are alright. Even though when we have been mischievous and naughty not completing things that we are suppose to do or even breaking our promise, Dorje Shugden would be giving us many chances and still be very patient to guide us towards the correct path that we should be pursuing. With this, I am not saying that it is correct for us to be breaking our promises, but what I am trying to convey is the kind of love and compassion that Dorje Shugden have for all of us.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Rinpoche for the constant love and care for all students and readers of the blog. It is only through RInpoche’s kindness that is why we are able to have that good fortune to be practising Dorje Shugden practices now. I thank Rinpoche from the bottom of my heart to share this practice with me. I have benefited greatly from this holy practice and through that, it allowed me to be able to clear my mind from doubts whenever they arise in my mind.
As our Sharing, kind-loving and compassionate Guru has verified, that after 30 years of trusting and relying on his most reliable protector, Dorje Shugden, the successes that Rinpoche and Kechara today have is a testimony of the power that Dorje Shugden has imparted in helping them out successfully is for sure! With Dharma in mind, and Dorje Shugden’s assistance, Rinpoche is definitely sure he has given us something very good and to anyone needing it around the world. He said he has placed us in good, protective hands. Rinpoche felt that he has put us in very powerful hands of someone very wise, which is worthy of the good friendship, care and love which he has for us and feels very happy for us. Dorje Shugden, a holy, compassionate and fully enlightened protector, was given to him by his attained Guru of 81 years, and Rinpoche assured us that Dorje Shugden will make a powerful ally, friend and a real protector who himself follows the teachings of the Buddha. Thank you Rinpoche, for your heart-warming gesture. We believe what is good for our Guru is always good for all of us too. Dorje Shugden can certainly help and see us through the path to enlightenment. Om Benza Wiki Bittana Soha.
Rinpoche gave me the most precious thing anyone could ever wish for. The gift of Dharma and an eternal protector. Seeing this picture of Rinpoche and Panglung oracle, it brings memories of Rinpoche asking Dorje Shugden to protect me from harm. Together, Rinpoche and DS has given my life so much more meaning, protection and countless other benefits. For this, I am forever grateful as I knew I have friends I could always rely on.
Simply Beautiful
Dorje Shugden’s practice is one of the best gift that Rinpoche has given all of us. By introducing Dorje Shugden to us, we create the affinity to the Wisdom buddha who will help and guide us towards our Enlightenment in our future lives. It is not possible for our guru to be with us all the time protecting and guiding us. Therefore, having a protector like Dorje Shugden would be highly beneficial.
When I experience malevolent spirit disturbances, I would chant the Trakze’s mantra (wrathful form of Dorje Shugden) and bless the spirit. The spirit would immediately back off and stop disturbing me.
Dorje Shugden is like a guardian angel that we can live without. All this is only possible with Rinpoche’s great compassion.
Thank you Rinpoche for giving us this powerful practice no words can describe our appreciation toward Rinpoche kindness because the protector DS is really help us a lot in many ways I hope there will be more people can benefits from this powerful practice.

Ever since Dorje Shugden was introduced to me, I have never failed to do His prayers and He has blessed and protected me all this while. I am fortunate that I have Dorje Shugden to help me clear the path for my spiritual journey to grow.
Thank you, Rinpoche, for your hard work and perseverance to bring dharma to others near and far that has benefited so many and will benefit even more to come.
Please make sure find the best place to put the buddha statue which i have contributed ( in small sum ) which i thought would benefits those who practicing in the hall and for all to gives offerings and prostration.

It is so happy can see many of friends can joined yesterday monthly Dorje Shugden puja in Wisdom Hall, Kechara Foerest Retreat. I am rejoiced for all my Dharma brothers and sisters. I am really appreciated whatever Tsem Rinpoche had gave us in this region. Rinpoche work so hard to spread Dharma in this country last passed 30 years. It is not easy for Rinpoche but Rinpoche choose benefit all beings than whatever he like. Thank you for Rinpoche’s hard works, we can gathered here joined this precious and grand puja!!!
Dear Rinpoche,
Thank you for giving us the teachings and the practice of Dorje Shugden. During this degenerate age with so many human problems, natural disaster and accidents that taking over lives, I believe we desperately require the help from Dorje Shugden as our Protector who is nearest to our time and help us swiftly and effectively to clear the obstacles ahead and increase our Dharma seeds. May more people start with Dorje Shugden’s practice and immediately receive the blessings and protection from Dorje Shugden.
With folded hands,

Rinpoche, thanks for sharing us the powerful and helpful friend, he will be our BFF.

Dear Rinpoche,
No words can adequately describe how I feel right now. For some reason, this post touched me deeply. I sincerely thank Rinpoche for being so compassionate and courageous as I know that bringing this practice to us entails many hurdles and difficulties. Although I have not be practising this sacred practice as long as others, I feel very safe, protected and no matter how dark it can get, I know I can rely on Dorje Shugden to help me find my way and be that light at the end of the tunnel.
My deepest gratitude to Rinpoche for bringing this practice to the world and may all be benefitted by this powerful protector practice.
With folded hands.
Thank you for sharing with us this wonderful post Rinpoche, and on top of that, never seen before photos of Rinpoche and the Panglung Oracle! I am forever greatful to have met the Dharma and such a powerful and potent Dharma protector who I know have tirelessly helped me in my road to Enlightenment, and it is because of Rinpoche’s hardwork and many Kecharians that made it possible. May more people benefit from the Dharma in the near future.
Sarah, You are a kind person and you are always hard working. I really enjoying working with you and having you on my Dharma team. You have my love, prayers and respects. Tsem Rinpoche

Oracle has always been a “mystical” part of Tibetan Buddhism, and with blessings of Rinpoche, I have witness the special and sacred process of the King Dorje Shugden Himself taking trance, and seeing miracles being performed.
I am indeed very lucky to receive protector from Rinpoche, as He is the same protector who has helped Zong Rinpoche in so many ways. If Dorje Shugden can perform miracles and help elite misters like Tsem Rinpoche and Zong Rinpoche, He can definitely help me in the path to enlightenment.
