His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama’s special prayer to Dorje Shugden
Dorje Shugden who is the emanation of Manjushri
A Propitiation of Mighty Gyalchen Dorje Shugden, Protector of Conqueror Manjusri Tsongkhapa’s Teachings
Composed by the Supreme Victor, the Great 14th Dalai Lama in Dungkar Monastery 1951
HUM
Glory of the wisdom, compassion and power of infinite Buddhas
Miraculously powerful protector of Manjusri Tsongkhapa’s Teachings
Arisen as a lord of all wrathful worldly hosts
Come from the abodes of Tushita, Kechara (Paradise or pure land), and so forth!
Prostrating with devotion of body, speech, and mind
I confess all mistakes and faults in which
Out of delusion, I have contradicted your holy mind:
Accept with forbearance and show your smiling face!
Arising from the sport of non-dual bliss and void
Are offerings and torma of flesh and blood heaped like a mountain
First portions of milk, yogurt, beer and tea swirling like the ocean
Auspicious signs and substances and various animals
Peaceful and wrathful ornaments, enemy-destroying weapons and armor
Amassed samaya substances, outer, inner, and secret, without exception!
Having fulfilled your heart commitment and purified degeneration
By making these actually arranged and visualized offerings
Increase Lozang the Victorious One’s Teachings
And the life span and activities of the Teachings’ upholders!
Further the happiness of beings in the Gaden [Podrang] dominion!
Especially pacify all harm to us, the yogis and entourages
That arises because of previous karma and immediate conditions
And spontaneously accomplish, just as we wish
All good things, both spiritual and temporal!
Grind to dust without remainder
Enemy hordes that think and act perversely
Towards the teachings and lay and ordained people
With potent, accurate, powerful great vajra fire!
Especially, cause the saffron-clad community of Dungkar Monastery
Brightly beautiful in bonds of pure morality
To soar the path of immortal liberation
On unified wings of Sutra and Tantra!
In brief, we enthrone you, O Deity, as the supreme
Collected nature of all Gurus and Protective Deities!
From densely gathered clouds of the four activities
Pour down a cool rain of the two siddhis!
(Can conclude by reciting Dorje Shugden’s mantra as much as time allows daily: Om Benza Wiki Bitana Soha)

Thank you Rinpoche and blog team for sharing this beautiful prayer to Dorje Shugden composed by HH 14th Dalai Lama visited Dungkar Monastery in Tibet in 1951. May all be blessed by this prayer of Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden.🙏😘🌈
Beautiful prayer to Dorje Shugden composed by HH 14th Dalai Lama visited Dungkar Monastery in Tibet in 1951. Wow… could not image at such a young age HH Dalai Lama already has the great ability in composing prayers. HH Dalai Lama at the moment witnessed the oracle at Dungkar Monastery , that he is inspired to compose this special prayers of Dorje Shugden. It was than translated into English and up to day it is been recited in certain monasteries. Since then the respected Dorje Shugden oracle was consulted many people from all over Tibet. Dorje Shugden is an enlightened Dharma Protector who manifested about 400 years ago from a lineage of erudite masters. It couldn’t be wrong and not an evil spirit as claimed by some.
HH 14 the Dalai Lama is known to be the emanation of Buddha Chenrezig. It was the Dorje Shugden oracle that has helped HH 14 th Dalai Lama easy passage escape during the Chinese invasion in 1959 to India. It is not logical at all when some said that Dorje Shugden is an evil spirit and harmful after so many years. The ban of Dorje Shugden is therefore illogical .
May the ban against Dorje Shugden practitioners be lifted soon so that there will be unity, harmony, peace and freedom of religious choice be allowed.
Thank you Rinpoche this sharing.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama is known to be the emanation of Buddha Chenrezig. He is an enlightened being. It is not possible for an evil spirit to fool His Holiness the Dalai Lama because he is an all-knowing Buddha. If Dorje Shugden can fool the Dalai Lama, does it mean that an evil spirit is more powerful than an enlightened Buddha? That is not logical.
On the other hand, Dorje Shugden has many prayers written to him by high lamas from different sects and different time of the history. When a high lama like the Dalai Lama writes a prayer for a certain deity, the deity must be important and very powerful. The lamas are promoting the deity by composing the prayers. Hence, it is not logical for a high lama like His Holiness the Dalai Lama to promote a devil practice.
Dorje Shugden practice has been around for 400 years and the holy reincarnation of the Dalai Lama are around for quite some time as well. Why is it after 400 years that Dorje Shugden practice suddenly starts to harm His Holiness’s health? That is not logical either. The Dorje Shugden ban is full of lies and illogical reasons if one examines it closely.
