Calling Upon the Divine
How Dorje Shugden helped in the time of need…
There may be many lay spiritual practitioners who are embarrassed to admit that the main reason for their practice in the first place is something personal and which can be classed as self-cherishing. If one is able to hear the silent prayers to the divine (of any religion), they are usually relating to ‘I want this, I want that, I don’t want this, I don’t want that, etc.’
My family is no exception. One summer, we were travelling and our son needed his passport renewed. Three weeks before his passport expired, we applied to the embassy and there was a problem as the embassy needed further documentation which we were unable to get in less than four days.
In a panic, we contacted our son’s godfather who knows the embassy head quite well. He called a few times but was unable to get through and left messages but with no reply.
So this was like two days before we had to travel and it looked like our son had to cancel his trip. In the meantime, we did our King Protector, Dorje Shugden puja and requested the Protector to assist in this matter.
Our son’s godfather happened to drop a friend off at the airport the evening after our puja and at the check in desk, someone patted him on his back. He turned around and couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the embassy head.
The next day he took our son to see the embassy head and his passport was renewed without a hitch and he managed to join the family on our annual holiday.
This may be a coincidence, but us, we have no doubt our Protector had come to our aid.
It turns out our family trip was to be an auspicious one as we had an audience with the King Protector and his Chief Minister Karche Marpo (together with some 700 odd people) in Kechara Forest Retreat in Bentong, Pahang.

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

Sakya tradition’s thangka of Dorje Shugden sitting on a throne within his palace with his four emanations and high Sakya Lamas nearby. Tsem Rinpoche
Antique Pelden Lhamo thangka with sacred Dorje Shugden at the bottom right. Can see Tsongkapa and Guru Rinpoche on the top also. Beautiful and holy.
How can a nun curse someone they do not even know and wish the person to die quickly and be born in hell? What kind of nun is this? Shocking! What more she’s cursing a Buddhist teacher and a monk?! Is this the face of Bhutanese Buddhist?
This is so shameful for her as a nun, her teacher, her monastery, her country and her King. A sangha should not behave in such a manner. A Sangha should carry enlightened Buddha’s teachings of compassion and wisdom to benefit all sentient beings.
A Sangha is not supposed to promote hatred and certainly should not be cursing or wishing another person to die. That wish itself is already breaking one of the vows.
A Sangha is one of the 3 Jewels, an object of refuge. They should not behave like an uncivilized person with so much hate. This is how bad the Tibetan Leadership has spread their lies and hate about Dorje Shugden and Shugden Buddhist practitioners.
Thanks Keng Nam for sharing your experience. Dorje Shugden is very powerful in removing our obstacles and help us towards dharma practise. Just as you have seek the help from Dorje Shugden he has helped you and your son. And with that your son have the great opportunity to meet Dorje Shugden in trance. May more people get to know Dorje Shugden and do his practise which is very beneficial.
A true democracy allows everyone the freedom to exercise their human rights, including the freedom to practise any religion they want. In democratic countries, the government does not interfere with this right. Neither are democratic governments prejudiced against their citizens’ choice of religious belief. They do not force people to stop their religious practice or pass legislation criminalising people because of their religion.
The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), the Tibetan leadership who are based in Dharamsala are the exception. They are the only so-called ‘democratic’ leadership that puts a stranglehold on its people, persecuting them for their religious beliefs. They deny the rights of Dorje Shugden practitioners for simply practicing their religion as they have done for the past 400 years. Dorje Shugden practitioners are ostracised from their own community, denied medical care, education or even employment in government offices. The CTA definitely does not live up to the right to be called a democratic administration, especially when in it inflicts suppression of people’s freedom and disrespects basic human rights.

Thank you Keng Nam for being so direct and upfront with one’s experience with the divinity of Dorje Shugden. I do believe that many modern western folks are sometimes afraid of being called superstition, and that fear overrides everything else, causing them to close the door to the unseen and unknown.
I have met people, who it is very clear they have been helped by the dharma and Buddhas yet for some strange reason they deny it, altogether.
Isn’t this just lovely?! Look at these cute Tibetan kids singing praises to Dorje Shugden during Losar celebration in Tibet! Great blessings to all – Click to watch! ???

Will the CTA (Tibetan govt in exile) and their supporters in East and West say voodoo is evil and cannot be practiced too? Will they advise against Voodoo and say its a demon’s practice and people who practice are bad too? Truth be told, no one has the right to say anything about anyone’s religion. Listen to what this man says in the short snagged clip because he speaks well and with the truth.

Thank you for sharing.
Dorje Shudgen is always there with us as long as we have full faith and trust.
May more sentient beings be benifited and protected.

Amazing …..Our Powerful Protector Dorje Shugden has definitely helped Keng Tan in clearing all the obstacles . At times you could not believe what Dorje Shugden did for us. Dorje Shugden, the special protector emanation of Manjushri is a fully enlightened being which will help us at all times when we truly trusted and have faiyh in him and our Guru. Its such a wonderful moment you and family able to witness the first inaugural trance by Dorje Shugden Oracle,at Kechara Forest Retreat.
Thank you Keng Tan for sharing your experience with us.
As Rinpoche has always taught us when it comes to Dharma, “That one should have a good and faithful attitude all the way without reserve as far as Dharma practice is concerned. Dharma is intended to benefit all sentient beings by Lord Buddha.” As what the Vinayasutra says, quote: “Actions will not be wasted, even with the passing of a hundred Aeons, When the right causes and circumstances meet, The fruits of embodied beings will ripen.” Thank you Rinpoche, for your wonderful teachings which is like a road map always leading us to a good spiritual development. May Rinpoche have staple good health and a long life to continue turning the wheel of Dharma to benefit all sentient Beings. And thank you, Keng Nam for the sharing the good news and experience!
Such is the power of Dorje Shugden’s compassion that,as Keng Nam says, he will come to our aid and answer our prayers , including accede to our mundane requests, where we have the merit or where it will not lead to further harmful or negative consequences.
Dorje Shugden even bends backwards to help, as when we don’t follow his earlier advice and consequently we are caught in the negative consequences that follow. He will still come round and evolve a situation to our benefit and help us come around and stay on top of the situation.
There is nothing that is too small or too big or daunting for him, when it comes to helping us.I fold my hands in great faith and devotion to Dorje Shugden. He helps tirelessly and persistently.
Thanks Keng Nam for sharing your experience of the efficacious practice of protector Dorje Shugden. It is always inspiring to read or listen to the many people who have had received help from Dorje Shugden, directly or indirectly, in minor or serious problems, etc. And I must say, Lord Dorje Shugden never fails to help if we trust in him and our Guru, who had so kindly given us this powerful Dorje Shugden’s practice to overcome our daily problems in order that we may be able to concentrate on our Dharma practices. It was such a amazing feat for your son to be able to attend the very first inaugural trance by Dorje Shugden Oracle, the 7th Panglung Kuten at Kechara Forest Retreat. What an amazing experience and blessing that was. May Lord Dorje Shugden’s practice spread far & wide to benefit the many that are in need his practice. Om Benza Wiki Bitana Soha!
I agree with you, my Dharma brother, Keng Nam that most of the time we call on our Protector Dorje Shugden for something that WE WANT. And more often than not, our wishes are granted. That I believe is the compassion of Dorje Shugden who always wishes us the best.
As granting of our wishes by a Buddha like Dorje Shugden needs no repayment, we should always be grateful for the small and big things that with His help has made our lives so much smoother.
I also believe that sometimes if our wishes are not granted it is because we have not created the merits or if granted we may meet with unfavourable consequences. We are ignorant and self indulging, and our hope is to always believe and trust that Dorje Shugden will always look after and protect us so that our practice of living a virtuous life will be fulfilled.
Dear Keng Nam,
You story is one of hundreds of real life stories where our fully compassionate Protector Dorje Shugden came to our aid in this samsaric life.
In the full evidence of such limitless compassionate acts, how can Dorje Shugden be a malevolent spirit as alleged by the Central Tibetan Administration? If DS is really a spirit and he did help those who call upon him, wouldn’t a spirit expect something in return for helping? But, nothing is expected. This goes to prove that DS is a fully Enlightened Buddha and not a spirit.
Lum Kok Luen
This real life experience shared by Keng Nam is one of the many experiences and stories told by many people in Malaysia and abroad. Many people had benefited greatly from the divine assistance of our enlightened dharma protector, Dorje Shugden. The benefits range from life threatening situation that turned around positively to improving of one’s health; from business problems, marital problems, spirit possession, and the list goes on. Dorje Shugden hears all pleas and goes to the aid of those in need of help. For Dorje Shugden is an Enlightened Being, a Being who is full of compassion and wisdom, a Being who does not discriminate.
This is the same Being that the Tibetan leadership in Dharamsala, India, wrongly labelled as a demon/spirit.
Great message every Tibetan especially must read!
Thank you Keng Nam for this wonderful story on how Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden has helped you in this case. There many of wonderful stories about Him and happy to have read yours this time.
For 20 years, the Tibetan leadership attacked the integrity of the Dorje Shugden practice in a prolonged attempt to discredit it. However recent comments such as that left by ‘Suzy in Hawaii’ on Rinpoche’s YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl-4lIwxph4&t=11s) indicate that the public is now becoming aware of the truth about the Protector and the benefits of the practice.
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!

Dear Keng Nam,
Thank you for sharing on this real example of how Dorje Shugden will help us in the time of need when we sincerely call for His help and assistance in our Dharma and spiritual practice as well as worldly problems.
Indeed, through the compassion of our kind Guru, Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, we were able to have an audience with the King Protector Dorje Shugden and His Chief Minister Kache Marpo together with other 700 people in Kechara Forest Retreat in Bentong, Pahang on June 21st 2015. All of us were blessed by Dorje Shugden and Kache Marpo to clear our obstacles and provide conducive environment to practise Dharma.
Thanks for being a wonderful Dharma brother.
With folded hands,

Dorje Shudgen can help families and people overcome all their difficulties.
We often pray, make promises, even swear to some higher beings when we are desperate. Indeed, prayers are often to request something to happen or not to happen. Even non believers do this sometimes, praying to “the power that be” or whichever gods that would listen.
I don’t consider myself a religious person but yet I too often say these prayers, calling upon higher divine beings. Mostly I prefer to think that things happen or not happen because of karma and not divine intervention. It is not because I do not believe they are higher divine beings, I’m sure they are. I know of many people who put their faith and trust 100% in divine beings answering their prayers.
We cannot escape the duality of samsara. Hope can result in disappointment and pain but give someone hope and they can achieve a better life too. Religions give hope that there is some meaning to our life, our existence. That there is something better waiting for us after death. That is also hope.
Heightened feelings triggered by minor changes of disappointment could seem overwhelming. Whatsoever, luckily, you have the good faith to perform the minimum; i.e. to make offerings to Dorje Shugden for a sadhana to help you, and be able to realise the good results to more than your satisfactions. It is indeed a good happy ending for you and your family, Keng Nam, for being spiritual and so faithfully believing in calling upon the “Divine” to help. Om Benza Wiki Bitana Soha.
Thank you Keng Nam for sharing your story with us. Dorje Shugden helps us in so many varied ways, it’s almost impossible to recount. The incredible thing is that he helps us in body, speech and mind, and his advice to us is always Dharma.
His advice to us is never for us to worship him more or to make more offerings to him, or anything like that. His advice to us is always Dharma in nature and for me, I love and trust him for that because:
1) when we practise and apply the Dharma we have learned, our secular problems are automatically resolved, not just because of ‘miraculous’ interventions but because our perspective and attitude to these challenges has changed
2) Dharma is the ultimate protection for us. When we understand the Dharma, we learn how to create less negative karma for ourselves by acting in ways in accordance to the Dharma. So to me, Dorje Shugden’s advice becomes very complete because following his advice doesn’t just resolve our problems in this life, but also creates the causes for us to have fewer problems in our future lives!
When we are about to meet a holy being (as you were), or we intend to engage in Dharmic activities, our negative karma manifests as obstacles to try and prevent us from engaging in such virtuous activities. That is why purification practices are so important, because we have accumulated immeasurable negative karma for countless lifetimes. I always think of it this way – if purification practices are good enough for the high lamas who are one with their yidams, who am I, a lowly practitioner to not engage in them myself? Ultimately, the only person who benefits is me, when fewer obstacles in my practice manifest to stop me.
Hi, Keng Nam for sharing this wonderful story.
To me, it is not a coincident. Dorje Shugden will manifest fast action to help those who are in needs.
I like the 1st paragraph on if we can hear what normally peoples are praying to Buddha it is all about ourself and the desire we needed Buddha to fulfilled for us. But, we never think of how we can be Buddha to helps those in needs. Or, if we hear peoples asking for helps or needs helps we would just run away. Is ironic to think that during prayer we take refuge to Three Jewels and generate Bodhichitta.
If I remember clearly that Rinpoche once said before, when we take refuge to 3 Jewels is actually telling Three Jewels that we are ready to helps others. This paragraph by Keng Nam has reminded me on my refuge purpose.
Thank you Keng Nam

Freon
You are right, Keng Nam, no doubt about all our secretly hidden agendas when we propitiate any form of divine beings, it is all for our silly mundane wishes. When we are granted such wishes then our faith builds to the level that we just pray with thanksgiving.
How much the Buddhas have to tolerate our ignorance. How compassionate and merciful.
These days, however, we do not have such karma, and so Buddha appears to us in the form of our Spiritual Guide and helps us by giving teachings and leading us on spiritual paths. thanks to Rinpoche who has kindly introduced us to pwowefull protector Dorje Shugden and we are able to do his practice..
Thank you uncle Keng Nam for sharing your story with us, Lord Dorje Shugden is certainly no other than a compassionate Buddha. He has helped my family and myself during the times when we needed assistance the most.
I almost lost my mother when I was about 7 or 8 years old, she had an ectopic pregnancy and by the time she was admitted into the hospital, she had severe internal bleeding and even the doctor had said she might not make it. Before her operation, she described that she had already started having some hallucinations, the vision was getting blurry and as like the people were floating in the air. Her hearing started to deteriorate and couldn’t listen clearly, then her tongue had become numb where she could no longer speak. It was my first time knowing the process of dying, I can imagine that it’s quite terrifying. But due to Dorje Shugden and H.E Tsem Rinpoche’s blessings, my mother’s operation was a successful one and even the doctors were amazed.
I am very certain that if it wasn’t because of H.E Tsem Rinpoche and the protector, my mom wouldn’t have made it. This is just one of the blessings that have been bestowed upon us, there are many more miracle stories like this. I’m forever grateful of my guru and protector, Dorje Shugden.
Thank you Keng Nam for sharing your story of The Dharmapala, it raises my Faith in him. How magnificent the protector helps all beings in the times of needs. _()_
Thank you Keng Nam for sharing your experience. Through the years, I have seen and heard from many how Dharmapala Dorje Shugden had helped them, from cancer recovery to being protected while being involved in a major accident.
The main function of a Dharma Protector is to help avert the inner and outer obstacles that prevent spiritual practitioners from attaining spiritual realisations, as well as to foster the necessary conditions for their practice. In this case, I rejoice that your family, especially your son had an an audience with the King Protector and his Chief Minister Karche Marpo in Wisdom Hall after the obstacle of the passport renewal was settled.
The 7th Panglung Oracle (or Chojela, as we affectionately call him) underwent training from His Holiness Trijang Rinpoche and His Holiness Domo Geshe Rinpoche for years in meditations, practice, retreats, prostrations, purifications and many rituals to prepare his body. We are indeed very fortunate to have been in his and the Protectors’ presence.
His father, the previous Panglung Kuten was also a very famous oracle and was the very oracle that was consulted by the representatives/ Gurus of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama who gave His Holiness the answer and guaranteed protection for Him to leave Tibet.
The current Panglung Kuten has all the hallmarks of a great practitioner and humble too. It is revealed in this oracle’s previous life, he was a great Geshe of the highest caliber serving the Buddha-dharma and these great protectors also.
ༀ Om Benza Wiki Bitana Soha ; Om Vajra Wiki Witrana Soha ༀ
I rejoice in reading Mr. Tan’s story of how our Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden, had assisted him and his family. It may seemed mundane and worldly in the eyes of many. Yet it is good to think that as normal human beings, we are bound to face many troubles that not only hinder us from our spiritual practice but could be a distraction for us to be in touch with enlightened beings . Therefore, we must have faith in our Dharma Protector, and pray consistently to Him. He will assist us in times of need in ways that we could not imagine.
Thank You Rinpoche for sharing Dorje Shugden’s practice and teaching with us so that we can benefit from this benevolent enlightened being.
Humbly, bowing down,
Stella Cheang
