५-फुटको ग्येन्जे मूर्ति केचारा फरेस्ट रिट्रिटमा आइपुग्यो
(Click here to read the original English article.)
रत्न शुग्देनको रूपमा चिनिने ग्येन्जे धर्म रक्षक दोर्जे शुग्देनका पाँचवटा मुख्य अवतार मध्येका एक हुन्। दोर्जे शुग्देनको यी अवतार वृद्धिको रुप लिएर आएका छन् । अनुशासित अभ्यासकर्ताहरूले ग्येन्जेको पूजा गर्दा, हामीले उहाँका आशिर्वादलाई बाहिरी र भित्री धन, स्वास्थ्य र आध्यात्मिक पुण्य बढाउन प्रयोग गर्छौं।
यसलाई ध्यानमा राखेर, माननीय पच्चीसौं अवतारे छेम रिन्पोछेले मन्दिरको कल्पना र निर्माण गर्नुभयो जुन विशेष रूपमा ग्येन्जे र लाभकारी शक्तिहरूमा समर्पित थियो। केचारा फरेस्ट रिट्रिटको अगाडि अवस्थित, यो सबै पृष्ठभूमिका मानिसहरूको आध्यात्मिक तिर्थ यात्राको ठाउँको रूपमा रह्यो र ग्येन्जेले मानिसहरूको चाहना प्रकट गर्नुभयो।
धेरै भन्दा धेरै मानिसहरूले ग्येन्जेको प्राथना गर्नाले हुने लाभहरू देखिरहेको हुँदा, मन्दिरमा नयाँ ५ फुटे मूर्ति स्थापना गर्ने निधो गरियो। नोभम्बर ३, २०१७ मा ग्येन्जेको अद्भुत नयाँ मूर्ति केचारा फरेस्ट रिट्रिटमा आयो। सुभ साइतको रूपमा, सोही दिन केचाराको मासिक दोर्जे शुग्देन पुजा भएको थियो! मूर्तिलाई खोल्ने वित्तिकै ग्येन्जेलाई स्वागत गर्न दुध, इसेन्स र सिल्क खट्टा चढाइएको थियो।
तयारीको पूर्ण दुईदिन पछि, केचारा सरस्वती कला केन्द्रका कचारीयन टोली ग्येन्जेको फेसगोल्डलाई परम्परा अनुसार पेन्ट गर्न र आफ्नो रातो कोरल र टर्क्वाइज बिड्ससँगको पवित्र छवि विभुषित गरियो। तिनीहरूले ग्येन्जेको घाँटीमा लगाउनका लागि चाँदीको बिड हार बनाउने प्रस्ताव गरे र ग्येन्जेको घोडाको तल स्ट्रियु पनि गरे।
नोभेम्बर ८, २०१७ मा, ग्येन्जे मन्दिरको पवित्र मूर्तिलाई केचारियनले केचारा फरेस्ट रिट्रिटको मूलद्वारको बायाँपट्टी अवस्थित ठाउँमा लगेका थिए। यो नयाँ मूर्तिलाई पहिले मन्दिरमा भएको सानोसँग प्रतिस्थापित गरिएको हो। ग्येन्जे मन्दिर केचारा फरेस्ट रिट्रिटको अति लोकप्रिय गन्तव्यहरू मध्येको एउटा हो र आज धेरै मानिसहरूको प्रार्थनाहरूको जवाफ पाइने ठाउँको रूपमा प्रख्यात छ भनी चिनिन्छ। परिणाम स्वरूप, ग्येन्जेको अझ ठूलो संस्करण अनुदानको फर्म स्वरूप अघिल्लो मूर्तिलाई प्रतिस्थापन गर्न ग्येन्जेको प्रायोजन गरिएको थियो।
धेरै कचेरियनहरूले मन्दिरमा धनको भगवानलाई स्वागत गर्न मूर्तिको आगमनको उत्सुकतापूर्वक प्रतिक्षा गरेका थिए। ग्येन्जे आइपुगेपछि, पाउडरको इन्सेन्स, मन्त्र, सानो बुद्धको मूर्ति र दोर्जे शुग्देनको प्रतिवेश लगायत पवित्र रेलिकहरू ग्येन्जेको मूर्तिमा घुसाइएको थियो। सबै वस्तुहरूलाई घुसाइएपछि यो मूर्ति अति भारी भएको हुँदा यसलाई अर्कोपट्टी फर्काउन १० जना मानिस लागेको थियो।
ग्येन्जेलाई प्रतिस्थापन गरिएपछि, सहभागीहरूले बाँकी वेदीको भागलाई सेट गर्न सुरु गरे र केचाराको पुजा टोलीको नेतृत्वमा ग्येन्जे/दोर्जे शुग्देनको आवश्यक आराधनाको तयारी गरे। ब्रास बिडका धागा, रातो कोरल, टर्काइज, पियर्लस् र कृत्रिम गोल्ड बुलिन्सहरूलाई आध्यात्मिक र वस्तुगत बाहुल्यता दर्शाउन ग्येन्जेको घोडाको तल स्ट्रिन गरिएको थियो। नौवटा ८-फुट लामा इसेन्स लौरा र धेरै स-साना इसेन्स लौराहरू यसमा ज्योतिर्मय गरिएको, सुगन्ध र मिठो अरोमाको अर्पण गरी भरिएको थियो। पुजाको अवधिमा ग्येन्जेलाई १०८ वटा सुन्तला, प्रशस्त बिस्कुट, पेय पदार्थ र २,५०० बत्तीहरू अर्पण गरिएको थियो।
अर्को दिन, ग्येन्जे/दोर्जे शुग्देनको ट्सोकसँग पुजा गरेपछि राब्ने र सुङद्रुप पुजा गरियो। सुङद्रुप एक पारम्परिक हो जसले बुद्धको तस्विर, मन्त्र र अन्य पवित्र वस्तुहरूलाई शुद्ध र आशिर्वाद युक्त बनाउँछ । यो प्रायजसो शक्तिको राब्ने पुजापछि हुने गर्छ, जसले सिलबन्द गरिएको मूर्ति र पवित्र वस्तुहरूलाई त्री रत्नको आशिर्वादमा भिजाउँछ, जसले गर्दा आफ्नो वरपरको वातावरणलाई निरन्तरको सकारात्मक शुद्ध शक्तिको प्रवाह ल्याउँछ।

आफ्नो दायाँ हातले, उहाँले स्काई गोल्डेन लङ-लाइफ भेसमा होल्ड गर्नुहुन्छ जसले डिभाइन नेक्टरलाई ओभरफ्लो गर्छ र इच्छा-पूर्ण गराउने रूखको शाखामा विभुशित हुन्छ। यो भेसले विश्वव्यापी र शारीरिक आवश्यकताहरू अर्पण गर्न आफ्नो क्षमतालाई प्रतिनिधित्व गर्छ, जस्तै धन, स्वास्थ्य, असल सम्बन्ध र संसाधनहरूको सबै तरिकाहरू जसले हामी धर्मको अभ्यास गर्न स्वतन्त्र हुन्छौं। अर्कोतर्फ, उहाँले बहुमूल्य वस्तुहरूले भरिएको कचौरा लिनुभएको छ र उहाँका पाखुरा ट्रेजर स्पिटिङ नकुलमा आराम गरेका छन्। यसले ग्येन्जे धन अर्पण गर्ने देइटी हुनुहुन्छ जसले आध्यात्मिक र वस्तुगत धन उपलब्ध गराउँछ भन्ने देखाउँछ।
यसका साथसाथै, ग्येन्जेलाई पिन्सेली पहेँलो रोबले विभुसित गरिएको र पहेँलो पालोमिनो घोडामा सवार गराइएको छ। पहेँलो रङले वृद्धि र बाहुल्यताको क्रियाकलापलाई प्रतिनिधित्व गर्छ, जुन ग्येन्जेको अभ्यासकर्ताहरूलाई आशिर्वाद दिने विधि र लाभ दिने तरिका हो। उहाँको बायाँ पाखुराको क्रुकमा, उहाँले उहाँले जीतको ब्यानर र बज्र हुक बोक्नुहुन्छ। जीतको ब्यानरले मारास वा डेलुसिन्सको, नकारात्मक भावनाहरू र नकारात्मक कर्मको प्रतिनिधित्व गर्छ जसले हामीले के चाहन्छौं भन्ने कुरालाई अस्वीकार गर्छ। यसकारण, ग्येन्जेको अर्पणहरूले वास्तवमा डिफाइलमेन्ट र अवरोधहरूलाई हटाउनेतर्फ नेतृत्व प्रदान गर्छन्। ग्येन्जेले बज्र हुक लगाउनुभएको छ जसले सबै अवरोध, नकारात्मक सोचहरूलाई हटाउने र वास्तविक रूपमा लाइब्रेसनलाई नेतृत्व दिने आध्यात्मिक र वस्तुगत धनलाई हुकिङ गर्ने उहाँको क्षमतालाई प्रतिनिधित्व गर्छ। पहेँलो पालोमिनो घोडाले ग्येन्जेको अवरोधहरू हटाउने र हाम्रो सहायतामा आउने कार्यलाई संकेत गर्छ।
कुनै बुद्ध वा धर्म रक्षकले हाम्रो कर्म परिवर्तन गर्न सक्दैनन् तर ग्येन्जे हाम्रो सहायताको लागि आउन सक्नुहुन्छ किनकी उहाँले सञ्चित पूण्यहरूका आधारमा काम गर्नुहुन्छ र उहाँको शरणमा गएपछि हाम्रा नकारात्मक सओचहरू हटेर शुद्ध भएर जान्छन्। अर्थात, ग्येन्जेको अभ्यासले आफैमा पूण्यहरू आपूर्ति गर्छ जुन हामीले ग्येन्जेको असिम क्षमताबाट पहुँच गर्न सक्छौं र त्यसले हामीलाई मद्दत गर्छ। यो नभएमा, हामी आशिर्वाद प्राप्त गर्न असक्षम हुन्छौं, त्यसकारण यसको अभ्यास अति महत्त्वपूर्ण हुन्छ।
हामीले ग्येन्जेप्रति विश्वास गरेर, अर्पण गरेर, उहाँको शरीरलाई दृश्यवान बनाएर र उहाँका मन्त्रलाई उच्चारण गरेर पूण्य हासिल गर्न सक्छौं। यी पूण्यहरूका आधारमा, ग्येन्जे हामीलाई डोरमन्ट सकारात्मक कर्ममा सक्रिय बनाउन सक्षम हुनुहुन्छ, जबकी सोही समयमा हामीलाई नकारात्मक कर्मबाट हुने हानिलाई हटाइ सुरक्षित राख्नमा नकारात्मक कुरालाई आफूले धारण गर्नुहुन्छ। ग्येन्जेले नकारात्मक कर्मलाई आफूमा धारण गर्दा, यो हटाइएको छैन तर हामी उक्त कर्मलाई नघटाउँदासम्म वा पूर्ण रूपमा शुद्ध नबनाउँदासम्मका लागि परिपक्व हुन अस्थायी रूपमा रोकिएको हुन्छ । यस अनुसार, हाम्रा नकारात्मक कर्मले हामीलाई अब उपरान्त हानी गर्न सक्दैनन्।
ग्येन्जे मन्दिर हप्ताको सातै दिन चौबिसै घण्टा आफ्नो सुविधाजनक समयमा भेट्नका लागि र/वा पूजा गर्न सबैजनालाई खुला रहन्छ। आगन्तुकहरूले मन्दिरमा आनन्द लिन सक्छन् जहाँ ग्येन्जेको प्रार्थना गर्न र भक्ति गर्न बत्ति, इसेन्स र इच्छा पूरा हुने ट्याब्लेटहरू प्रशस्त पाइन्छन्। यहाँ अनेक दायराका निःशुल्क वितरण गरिने पेडानेन्ट, डिभिडी, पुस्तक, ब्रोसर र फ्रेमका छविहरू सहितका शैक्षिक र प्रार्थनाका सामग्रीहरू पनि पाइन्छन्।

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.

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.

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.

“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 be harmed by an evil spirit… Which one is it? Can he be 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
