Geshe Lobsang Phuntsok (English)
Venerable Geshe Lobsang Phuntsok who is the study partner of Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche, speaks about his experience in Kechara and shares his thoughts on Tsem Rinpoche’s Dharma activities.
Summary: The purpose of the interview was to understand Geshe Lobsang Phuntsok’s view about Rinpoche and Kechara. Rinpoche has contributed a lot to Gaden Monastery in terms of financial aid to help the poor, elderly and sick, and the construction of Kensur Jampa Yeshe Rinpoche’s house. Rinpoche’s contribution in giving teachings in Malaysia and setting up Kechara has benefited many people to learn and practice Dharma around the world. Not only that, Rinpoche has laid out a good platform and has done many things to maintain and uphold the lineage of Tsongkhapa and Dorje Shugden in a modern and interactive manner using technology. He has done much to create the causes for Dorje Shugden to grow in Malaysia. Geshe Lobsang Phuntsok speaks very well. Very good to hear what he shares.
Main Points:
- Geshe Lobsang Phuntsok knew Rinpoche when he was in Gaden Monastery. He said that Rinpoche is a very good, kind and helpful person. He always helped the poor, sick and elderly people. He had contributed a lot to Gaden Monastery financially and to the welfare of the monks. For example, Tsem Rinpoche built a new ladrang so it was comfortable for Kensur Jampa Yeshe Rinpoche to stay and so that Kensur Jampa Yeshe Rinpoche’s students didn’t have to wait outside and were able to learn from Kensur Jampa Yeshe Rinpoche in a conducive environment. This showed how much respect and care Rinpoche had for his Guru. Many monks rejoiced for Rinpoche’s work and contribution.
- Rinpoche practises strong guru devotion. He not only made sure his guru had enough food and a comfortable place to stay, but he also took good care of Kensur Jampa Yeshe Rinpoche’s health and medical requirements. Rinpoche planned all the food and medical needs for Kensur Jampa Yeshe Rinpoche.
- Geshe Lobsang Phuntsok views Kechara as Dorje Shugden’s paradise. He has been to many places and he feels that Kechara is the place from where Dorje Shugden will spread. When he did puja in Kechara, it was so energised. Rinpoche has done so much to promote Dorje Shugden such as distributing Dorje Shugden photos, murals, pictures and building a huge Dorje Shugden statue. These are the result of blessings from Dorje Shugden.
- In regards to Rinpoche’s contemporary practice, Geshe Lobsang Phuntsok said that Tibetan practice may be complicated but Rinpoche’s teaching is lively and modern in order to cater for the people here. It is by using these new modern methods that Rinpoche can reach out to many more people and benefit them.
- For example Rinpoche will encourage his students to learn Dharma and then share it with others. The person does not need to be a monk/nun to learn and teach Dharma. Also, by creating this flexibility, the Kechara team can reach out to many people of various levels, languages and nationalities. This enables Dharma to flourish easily as there is no barrier in communication. When more people learn, they will also share their knowledge to others. Then Dharma will grow.
- Besides, Rinpoche also practises a lot of generosity and giving. Rinpoche always helps many people in terms of food, clothes, medical needs, etc. This is the Ten Paramitas as taught by Shakyamuni. The people who Rinpoche has helped will look up to him and then Rinpoche can guide them through Dharma. This creates the cause for people to learn Dharma in the future.
- He feels that Rinpoche’s mind is at such a high level as he has so much compassion and kindness. He is always thinking of many ways to help people.
- Geshe Lobsang Phuntsok felt that his trip to Kechara was a privilege and he considers it to be a pilgrimage trip.
- Rinpoche uses a lot of new technologies and online work. This is a very good method to reach out to many people around the world at any point of time. People can learn Dharma any time and from anywhere. People can engage in discussions virtually. Geshe Lobsang Phuntsok was also amazed by the vast amount of information on the Dharma, and information about Dorje Shugden and Tsongkhapa that is available online. Almost everything on Dharma is available on the blog.
- Rinpoche has contributed a lot to create the causes for Dorje Shugden to grow. Although the Dorje Shugden issue has been politicised, Rinpoche takes a lot of effort to clear the baseless allegations. Rinpoche explains the situation so people are aware of such discrimination and not make further accusations against Dorje Shugden practice.
- Rinpoche wants to maintain the pure lineage of Tsongkhapa and Dorje Shugden. So Rinpoche focuses all his works to clear the allegations on Dorje Shugden.
- For example, Rinpoche did not introduce Dorje Shugden first but Setrap’s practice. Setrap is the emanation of Amitabha. Most Chinese know Amitabha and therefore can accept Setrap. So when people can accept Setrap, and later Rinpoche introduces the Dharmapala Dorje Shugden, they will be able to receive Dorje Shugden easily as a Dharma protector. Rinpoche had planned the introduction and acceptance process for us.

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.
Tsem Rinpoche

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 assistants 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 (Avalokiteshvara, 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.
