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.

“The 4th Zhabdrung Rinpoche of Bhutan and Dorje Shugden” blog post which was published June 8, 2018 already has exactly at the moment 152,744 views!! Over 150k views!!! Amazing!! The views will keep growing as time elapses of course.
This indicates many Bhutanse and Buddhists around the world will now know that Dorje Shugden is connected to Bhutan and their Kagyu Lineage. Dorje Shugden was promoted by the highest lama of Bhutan namely the 4th Zhabdrung Rinpoche himself. So Dorje Shugden will help and protect anyone and is not sectarian as they accuse him to be. People in the Kagyu school of Buddhism also practised Dorje Shugden and Dorje Shugden assisted them lovingly. Dorje Shugden being an emanation of Manjushri will help anyone who calls upon him regardless of their background and religion.
Good job to our writers, researchers, editors, technical team, supporting team and Kechara people who promoted this blog post on social media. Now more will come to understand how pervasive Dorje Shugden is in all the lineages of Tibetan Buddhism although the Tibetan leadership in-exile tries to hide this truth. Thank you everyone for promoting Dorje Shugden to benefit many. We were all very harmonious before the unethical ban against Dorje Shugden practitioners. Since the inception of the ban in 1996, there has been no benefits and instead so much disharmony among Tibetan Buddhists around the world. Many hundreds have spoken up about this point where we want harmony back. There should never be a ban against any spiritual practice.

于2018年6月8日发表的《不丹国第四世夏仲仁波切与多杰雄登》的博文至今已经有 152,744次的浏览量！！也就是超过了15万次的浏览量！！这个数字肯定还会随着时间而增长。
这表示很多不丹人和全世界的佛教徒现在已经知道了多杰雄登和不丹以及他们的噶举派传承是有紧密联系的。多杰雄登是被不丹的最高级别的喇嘛夏仲仁波切本身所推崇的。这显示了多杰雄登是会帮助和保护任何人的，而祂不是像他人所指控那样的充满宗派主义。佛教的噶举派的修行者也修持多杰雄登，而多杰雄登也很怀爱地帮助他们。多杰雄登是文殊菩萨的化身，祂将无视任何宗教和背景地去帮助任何召唤祈请祂的人们。
我们的写作、搜集资料，编辑、技术、辅助等的人员们和推广这篇博文的克切拉人们，你们做得好！虽然流亡藏人领袖们尝试掩盖事实，但现在更多的人将了解到多杰雄登在所有藏传佛教的传承中是多么的普及了。感谢大家努力推广多杰雄登以造福大众。在这个不道德的多杰雄登禁令出现之前，我们都是很和谐融洽的。自从禁令在1996年开始之后，它为全世界的藏传佛教徒没有带来任何利益，而只有更多的不和谐。成千上万的人已经对该禁令发声，要求重建和谐。对于任何心灵修行，是从来就不该有任何禁令的。

His Eminence Kyabje Dagom Rinpoche’s incarnation is in Lhasa visiting. He is visiting the 350-year-old Trode Khangsar chapel dedicated to Dorje Shugden. He is paying homage to the powerful statue of Dorje Shugden housed in this sacred chapel. Both the chapel and statue of Dorje Shugden were commissioned by His Holiness the 5th Dalai Lama. The Great 5th Dalai Lama also composed a prayer to be recited daily to Dorje Shugden.
Dagom Rinpoche’s previous lives were great masters, scholars and practitioners of Dorje Shugden. Now this new incarnation of Dagom Rinpoche is offering gold on the face of Dorje Shugden in homage and worship to this very sacred statue of Dorje Shugden housed in Lhasa for the last 350 years. This is a very traditional Tibetan method of paying homage to holy images, which is by offering gold with prayers.
The Tibetan leadership wrongly says if you practise Dorje Shugden you will take rebirth into the three lower realms. Hundreds of lamas from the Sakya, Kagyu and Gelugpa schools of Buddhism have practised Dorje Shugden and their incarnations returned. Many of the incarnations are recognised by His Holiness the Dalai Lama himself. So this shows if you practise Dorje Shugden, only benefits come and no harm will come. The very fact Dagom Rinpoche’s incarnation is back, is clear evidence that Dorje Shugden’s practice is beneficial.
May Dagom Rinpoche’s current incarnation live a very long life.

尊贵的扎贡仁波切的现任转世正在拜访拉萨。他拜访了一座供奉给多杰雄登并且拥有350年历史的护法殿”布旦康萨”。他在向这座神圣护法殿里的强大多杰雄登像顶礼。该座护法殿和多杰雄登圣像是由第五世达赖喇嘛指示而造的。伟大的第五世达赖喇嘛也亲笔撰写了多杰雄登的每日祈愿文。
扎贡仁波切的前几世都是伟大的上师，学者兼多杰雄登的修持者。现在扎贡仁波切的现任转世在为这尊已经安奉在拉萨350年并且非常神圣的多杰雄登圣像的脸上供养金漆，以示顶礼和膜拜。这种供养金并祈愿的做法是西藏为圣像顶礼非常传统的做法。
流亡藏人领袖们说如果你修持多杰雄登就将投生三恶道，那是错误的。佛教派系——萨迦派、噶举派、格鲁派的上百名喇嘛们都修持了多杰雄登，而且他们也都转世回来了，而其中有很多转世还是达赖喇嘛亲自认证的。这明显显示了如果你修持多杰雄登，是百利无一弊的。扎贡仁波切转世回来了，就已经是很确凿的证据显示多杰雄登的修持是有利的。
愿今世的扎贡仁波切健康长寿。

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.

The Library of Tibetan Works and Archives is in Dharamsala, which is broken into two parts. Upper Dharamsala is where the Dalai Lama’s palace is located with his audience room and main prayer hall. It is also the location of the Dialectics School, Gaden Shartse’s guesthouse, restaurants, tourist hotels and main tourist areas.
A short ride down takes you to the lower part of Dharamsala where the Tibetan government is located. It is the location of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile, Nechung monastery, the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives, the Tibetan arts centre…it’s all in one area. And the reason why it’s split into upper and lower Dharamsala is because the area is mountainous.
The Library of Tibetan Works and Archives was established by the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government to preserve all the ancient texts – both secular and spiritual – of Tibet and in the process, translate them into various languages like English. This book, Overview of Buddhist Tantra, by Panchen Sonam Drakpa was one of the books translated into English. What’s very interesting is that the book very clearly says that Panchen Sonam Drakpa’s previous life is Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen, one of the five main disciples of Lama Tsongkhapa. It also says that after that, he was Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen.
So the book is basically saying that Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen, Panchen Sonam Drakpa and Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen – the three Drakpas – are of the same mindstream.
Now that’s very peculiar because if Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen’s previous life is Panchen Sonam Drakpa, the renowned composer of 45 volumes of Dharma texts, the abbot of three monasteries AND the 15th Gaden Tripa, the holder of Lama Tsongkhapa’s throne…if that’s the case, how can Panchen Sonam Drakpa take rebirth as Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen and become an evil spirit and have a negative mind?
Prior to Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen, he was Panchen Sonam Drakpa and before that, he was Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen, a heart disciple of Lama Tsongkhapa. How can a heart disciple of Lama Tsongkhapa reincarnate as the erudite master Panchen Sonam Drakpa, and then die and reincarnate as Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen…and then Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen, due to a bad and negative prayer, become the evil spirit Dorje Shugden? How is that possible? Logically, it’s not.
What’s incredible is that all of this was printed by the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives under the Dalai Lama’s guidance. They contradict themselves because on one hand, the Tibetan leaders say Dorje Shugden is an evil spirit. On the other hand they’re printing a book saying that Panchen Sonam Drakpa, whose later incarnation became Dorje Shugden, is of this illustrious mindstream.
So how can the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives, which is under the auspices of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government, print the translation of a book composed by the previous incarnation of a so-called evil spirit? How can they then say in the book that Panchen Sonam Drakpa’s previous life is Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen, and his next life was Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen?
Prior to the Dorje Shugden ban and controversy, everyone in Tibet knew that Dorje Shugden is Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen, that Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen is Panchen Sonam Drakpa, and that Panchen Sonam Drakpa is Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen. The three Drakpas, they are one mindstream emanating again and again to benefit other beings.
And as we all know, Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen became Dorje Shugden so it totally doesn’t make sense to call him an evil spirit, then highlight all of his previous lives as erudite masters, and publish all of this information under their own library. So you can see the contradictions. You can read all of this for yourself in Overview of Buddhist Tantra, which was printed by the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives.

OVERVIEW OF BUDDHIST TANTRA
GENERAL PRESENTATION OF THE CLASSES OF TANTRA,
CAPTIVATING THE MINDS OF THE FORTUNATE ONES

BY
PANCHEN SONAM DRAGPA
(Pan-chen bSod-nams grags-pa, 1478-1554)
O Choje Sonam Dragpa Pel! (Chos-rje bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal!)
In the vast expanse of Your bodhi-mind,
The mind that the Buddhas have lauded for as many as
one hundred times,
You have developed “merit” shining like the sun.
Through Your skill in learning, debate and writing,
As illuminating as one hundred thousand sun rays,
You have developed in You a complete knowledge of
the entire sutras and tantras,
Resembling a garden of flowers in full bloom.
The power of Your speech is like the sun;
The fame of your name has reached the three realms of
this world.
O Sonam Dragpa, the teacher of teachers!
I bow down at your feet.
In the vast garden of Your great teachings,
The intelligent young people gather for
The ‘six ultimates’ and the ‘four modes of transmission,’
Just as they are attracted to
The one hundred thousand types of nectar
Dripping from a flower of one hundred petals.
May I be able to experience
The taste of the secret tantra!
Panchen Choje Sonam Dragpa Pel (Panchen Chos-rje bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal), the holder of sutra and Vajrayana teachings, was a master whose outstanding learning and spiritual accomplishments are well known by all the learned ones in Tibet. His first incarnation came in the form of one of the five prestigious disciples of Lord Tsongkhapa (Tsong-kha-pa) and became known as Vinaya Holder (Dulzin) Dragpa Gyaltsen (Gragspa rgyal-mtshan). Then came Panchen Sonam Dragpa Pel (Panchen bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal), the author of the present text. The next was Nagri Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen (mNga’-ris sPrul-sku Grags-pa rgyal-mtshan). In this way, a line of his incarnations, each with the Dragpa (gragspa) surname, followed successively.
Panchen Sonam Dragpa Pel (Panchen bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal) was born in the 14th century in Tsetang (rTsed-thang) in the Lhoka (Lho-kha) region of Central Tibet. He entered the great seat of learning, Sera Thekchenling (Se-ra theg-chen-gling) monastic university, where he became the personal disciple of spiritual master Donyo Dangden (Dhon-yod dang-ldan) and His Holiness the Second Dalai Lama Gedun Gyatso (dGe-‘dun rgya-mtsho). Under them, he studied the entire teachings of sutra, tantra and their commentaries, and became known for his outstanding learning. He also received from them the empowerments, reading transmissions, guides and instructions of the entire body of spiritual training. On becoming the fully blessed one, the Dalai Lama appointed him the abbot of the Loseling (Blo-gsalgling) college, one of the four colleges of Drepung (‘Bras-dpung)- the most prestigious monastic university in Tibet before 1959, with over 10,000 monks on its register. He continued to be the abbot of this college for the next six years; and after him the tenure for each of his successors in this position was fixed for a period of six years, a rule that is followed even today.
He was then appointed the head of the Gelugpa (dGe-lugs-pa) order, the throne holder of Gaden (dGa’-ldan), thus becoming the 15th regent of Lord Tsongkhapa (Tsong-khapa), the second Buddha. In his eulogy to him, Khedrub Gelek Pelsang (mKhas-grub dGe-legs dpal- bzang) says:
O Lama, the second successor of the Unsubduable One,
The regent of the Lord of Dharma,
You are the one who made the virtuous qualities thrive;
You are the one who ascended to the golden throne uplifted
by the fearless lions.
May Your success thrive forever!
He continued to be the throne holder for the next seven years, during which time he promoted the spread of Lord Tsongkhapa’s (Tsong-kha-pa) precious teachings, the Gelug (dGe-lugs) tradition, across the land in all directions. He also paid special attention to the practice of monastic rules and the learning and meditation of Buddhism in the monasteries such as Sera (Se-ra), Drepung (‘Bras-spungs), Kyomolung (sKyo-mo-lung), Phagmo Chode (Phag-mo chos-sde), Nyeding (Nye-sdings), Ödna (’Od-sna) and Chöde Rinchen (Chos-sde rin-chen) etc. and improved them to a great extent. He taught the Third Dalai Lama Sonam Gyatso (bSod-nams rGya-mtsho) as the latter’s spiritual master. It was from him that the Dalai Lama received the name Sonam (bSod-nams).
His contributions in the literary field are enormous; and, indeed, they are the most valuable of all his contributions. Tsongkhapa (Tsong-kha-pa) has rightly said:
Of all one’s deeds,
The ‘deeds of speech’ are the most valuable.
Panchen Sonam Dragpa Pel (Panchen bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal) was a person with an extraordinary talent for teaching, debate and writing. In his colophon to Bu mey chi don zab don sel wey dron mey (dBu ma’i spyi don zab don gsal ba’i sgron me), he wrote:
In the field of teaching, I am [next to none!] Knowing that
I would outdo them in this field, Arya Asanga and his
brother transmigrated into another realm.
In the field of debate, I am [next to none!] Knowing that
I would find out the areas they had contradicted and
that I would examine them and put forth my arguments,
the logician Dignaga (Digh-naga) and Dharmakirti tactfully
bypassed me.
In the field of writing, I am [next to none!] [In my eyes,]
Arya-sura was just good at spreading the works, which
are like ‘disputes~ between an insect and a field.’
I am the learned man. Peerless in the field of teaching,
debate and writing!
For some this passage might sound utterly nonsensical, but the most learned master of our age, the talented teacher, logician and writer, the late tutor to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Yongdzin Trijang Dorjechang (Yongs-‘dzin Khri-byang rDorje-‘Chang), said: “Now, some people of our time, who consider themselves learned scholars, think that this is utter nonsense; but they are wrong.”
Panchen Sonam Dragpa Pel (Panchen bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal) wrote over 45 volumes of books dealing with many different subjects, such as the commentaries on the sutras and tantras, the saddhana manuals of the tutelary deities, history, religious history and so forth. Among these, one that is very important for all who wish to learn and meditate on the path-of the practical aspect of Buddhism in general and that of Vajrayana in particular is the Leg shey gyu de chi nam par shagpa kelsang gi yi trod (Legs bshad rgyud sde spyi’i rnam par bzhag pa skal bzang gi yid ‘phrod). In this book, he has explained precisely how the four tantras differ from one another. He has also fully described the stages of the two spontaneous path practices of the Vajrayana tradition, dealing with the ‘six ultimates’ and the ‘four modes of transmission’, thus interpreting without mistake the intention of Adhi-Buddha Vajradhara.
May the reprint of this text, which the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives is publishing herewith, bring peace and happiness in this world!

All enlightened beings are worthy of homage and worship. They are the best beings to take refuge in and we should offer them our prayers as we can put our full confidence in them. Of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, I personally find that Manjushri is extremely important. This is because what keeps us in samsara (cyclic rebirth) is our total ignorance and misunderstanding of the reality of existence. What is necessary to penetrate this deep ignorance that keeps us bound in a perpetual state of reincarnation is wisdom. We need many types of wisdom which can be acquired by relying on Manjushri as our yidam (meditational deity). By focusing on his meditation, practice, mantra and path we can gain wisdom in order to have the tool to penetrate the reality of existence. Therefore, Manjushri is an extremely important Buddha for us to focus on and take refuge in.

每一位觉者都能成为我们朝拜、膜拜的对象。他们是我们至高、至好的皈依，我们应该向他们做祈请，并且对他们生起全然的信念。在众佛菩萨之中，我个人认为文殊菩萨极为重要。这是因为使我们身陷娑婆（轮回）的是我们自身的无明，以及对实相的曲解。智慧是一种必要，它能穿透我们深不见底的无明，那个使我们受困于无止境投生的无明。我们需要多种智慧，而依止文殊菩萨作为我们的本尊，即能使我们成就多种智慧。透过文殊菩萨的观想、修持法门、心咒及修行道路，我们能成就智慧，拥有了知实相的“器具”。故此，专注于文殊菩萨的修持法门、皈依他，对我们而言都极为重要。

In Tibetan Buddhism, there are alot of protectors that many high lamas and enlightened masters pray to and rely on. They are very important in our spiritual and secular life because they help to remove obstacles. Obstacles are our negative karma ripening uncontrollably and sometimes it might be overwhelming.
Hence, It is very important for us to do a protector practice so that our spiritual and secular life will be smoother and with fewer obstacles. A protector practice let us gain merits when we recite prayers and they help us to remove obstacles on our path. Dharma protectors do not remove negative karma from us, but they reduce the intensity of it when it ripens by holding it off while we have time to purify the karma and collect merits.
Dorje Shugden is the most suitable Dharma protector for us now. He is the emanation of Buddha Manjushri and he became a protector only 400 years ago. People of this time has a close affinity with him and hence he can help us swiftly. Please visit this site to know more about this protector.
A Daily Request for Wealth, Peace and Protection
Composed by H.E. Tsem Rinpoche
In the heavens there are myriad manifestations of the divine. All those manifestations specifically show us different aspects of divinity in order to be of benefit to all living beings. All the rupakaya forms of the divine have compassion, skillful means and wisdom. We invoke upon them whether we are happy, sad, down, lost, fulfilled, confused, empty, and during the whole range of emotions we constantly experience due to an untrained mind.
Understanding our nature, Great Wisdom Being Dorje Shugden, therefore all the more so, please hold us close to your bosom as an only child to a parent.
Though the manifestations of the divine need no offerings and gifts from us, we offer you supreme Manjushri Dorje Shugden a libation of tea, incense and mantras, in order to ask you to bless us, to be a part of our lives, to abide in our dwellings and to give us signs, omens and portents of both good and bad. When the negative arises, quell them immediately. Please increase the positive for my weary and worn mind as I lay my hopes in you.
When difficulties, problems and confusion arise, we ask you, who is but the culmination of all that is powerful, holy and omniscient to bless myself, family, loved ones, environment and even my pets. May I see wisdom, find hope, and be at peace.
I request you, O Divine Bhagavān Dorje Shugden, who wears a round dome hat and the three robes of a saffroned bhikshu, who wields a sword of liberty, justice and wisdom and clutches a wish-fulfilling jewel, who rides on a supreme lion of subjugation of all that is negative, to fulfill my wishes. I understand my wishes may not be the best, so I surrender to your wisdom for the outcome though it may not be what I have in mind. Please bless myself and everyone that we may enter into the supreme city of liberation.
Great Bhagavān Dorje Shugden, I request you sincerely from my heart to be a part of my life, bless my home, and grant me wisdom, solace and comfort, that I might be of service to others without agenda, and that I may focus out onto others and not be fixated on myself, creating more problems for all that I hold dear.
Bless me to become kinder, wiser, more compassionate, tolerant and very forgiving to all those who hurt and love me. In order to become close to you, Dorje Shugden, we must surrender the banal. We must abandon fixed views, projections and rigidity. Lastly, in my final moment when I leave this plane of existence, only the positive actions I have done will matter as everything and everyone will be left behind. Let me realise this and act upon this now! At this crucial moment, please may I have a vision of yourself, the powerful and merciful Dorje Shugden, to take me to where I may course in the sky to continue my journey of spiritual waxing.
I offer you saffron-coloured tea and my faith to fulfill my prayers and gain siddhis. By reciting your mantra, may healing, peace, love, long life, protection and perfect view of sunyata arise.
Mantra of fulfillment, peace and wisdom:
OM BENZA WIKI BITANA SOHA
(It is good to recite this mantra daily as much as you like or your timing allows.)
I dedicate this supreme heartfelt prayer to the all-knowing Celestial and Supreme Protector Dorje Shugden, that I may quickly become a being of light, compassion, love and enlightenment.
Please play the audio included here to follow along with the prayer.

Thank you Rinpoche and the team for setting up the wonderful website specially for Dorje Shugden. It contained a lot of Dorje Shugden history and information. What i love the most was reading all the miracles stories and the life story of the attained lamas who practice Dorje Shugden. This website is very important for people to find out the true information about Dorje Shugden practice. By gaining knowledge we gain faith. Not only that, for those who are not sure about Dorje Shugden or having negative perspective about Dorje Shugden can also learn and clear their mind from here.

Thank you Rinpoche for conceptualised this website, and Kechara Teams work tirelessly to create and maintain this website with carefully researched, practice-oriented, and carefully translated information to benefits many people.
In this day and age people are attracted to gossips, controversies and catastrophes to feed their complacent and bored insatiable minds. Often distracted by all these desires and attachments, we miss out or are blind to the good stuff that can lead us to happiness and peace.
This is kind of like that with the subject of Dorje Shugden. This practice have been helping many for centuries. High Lamas have been teaching and practicing following the guidance of this Dharma protector. The Dharma has grown and helped many beings.
Sadly, there are those who prefer to stay hostile and there are the ones who use this subject to create hate and sufferings for many.
Having an independent website dorjeshugden.org which explains all about this practice provides a clear and transparent platform for those with affinity to Dorje Shugden to seek answers without feeling pressured by the controversies around it.
Many have followed this website and practiced and benefited from it!
Thank you Rinpoche and all the writers and sponsors who contributed to this cause. With folded hands, it will benefit many more beings to come.

In the emerald forest there lies magical beings and powerful entities of old. There are beautiful gentle creatures of the forest such as deers, rabbits, owls and so on. Faeries, little people, elves, dwarves, trolls and other magnificent worldly and other-worldly beings of mystical origins who nurture and look over the natural world call this place their home. These supernatural beings, who remain hidden to ordinary view and are rarely seen together, have gathered to herald the arrival of the World Peace Guardian Dorje Shugden within the ethereal realm. Paying homage to the divine king they welcome him, the supreme being whose body shines with the light of magnificence and abides in benevolent wisdom. He who has come from the pinnacle of the celestial dimensions, he has the dominion over men and gods. All beings in this and other worlds have gathered to pay homage and to receive blessings, abundance and counsel.
Shugden the divine king, at last has drawn near,
He offers a new life so clear,
With a silent prayer he offers the golden stair,
Sing praises, does the emerald forest all cheer.

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.

Great message every Tibetan especially must read!
This comment by Suzy on Rinpoche’s YouTube channel is a sign of change in the people’s understanding and perception of the holy Dorje Shugdenpractice-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl-4lIwxph4&t=11s. It has been twenty years of negative propaganda but now many people are beginning to see past the false rhetoric to see the divine goodness of the Protector. This is something to rejoice in.
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!

Thia new website will bring lots of knowledge to people who would like to learn more about the history and lineage of Dorje Shugden.Very beneficial for new Dorje Shugden practitioners. And it’s very informative. Thank you very much Rinpoche and blog team for building this new website of Dorje Shugden 🙂
This Dorje Shugden website will bring many people to be acquainted with Dorje Shudgen and learn about the various potent and effective practices of the Dorje Shugden that we can subscribe to.
If you are a Dorje Shugden devotee, this website will enhance your faith in this compassionate, loving and caring Protector.
If you have doubts about the propitiation of Dorje Shugden, the researched and true information in this website will answer your questions and give you calm.
If you are against Dorje Shugden practitioners, this website will help you to see the other side of the story.
A perfect website for all Buddhists.
This site will be very beneficial for many for sure, Rejoice! Thank you Rinpoche for your kindness.. As I got benefits from Praying and relying on Dorje Shugden many will too from this new site. _/\_ _/\_ _/\_
This website is a real blessing to the modern society who relies on the internet for information and knowledge. It is specially difficult for those who do not have easy access to a Guru or dharma center to acquire knowledge on Tibetan Buddhism and Protector practice.
Technological advancement has allowed us to be better connected and have abundant information at the tip of our fingers. Rinpoche’s foresight and vision to spread the dharma combined modern technology with ancient wisdom to bring us Tsem Rinpoche’s blog and http://www.dorjeshugden.org. The benefits are immeasurable.
Dorje Shugden arose from a lineage of highly attained masters who have been taking rebirth successively in order to proliferate the Buddhadharma and benefit sentient beings. Although he came into existence as a Dharma Protector over 350 years ago, traditional accounts trace the causes of his dramatic transformation to a time more than half a century ago, (http://www.dorjeshugden.org/overview/the-origins-of-dorje-shugden) yet sad to say there are still a lot of controversial issues surrounding this practice. With this website, people who are in doubt can get accurate information about Dorje Shugden.
Thank you, Rinpoche and the hardworking team for conceptualizing and setting up this website which can benefit many.
Yes Pastor Patsy, when people are in doubt they can get accurate information about Dorje Shugden on this site because it is factual, based on evidence, logical and most importantly, free from any mentions of the ban. Because one day, the ban WILL be over and in that time, people will look for information about Dorje Shugden to engage in his practice. And in that time, our blog articles and Facebook postings about the current controversy will not be relevant to them and in fact, may actually be confusing. So DorjeShugden.org is actually very, very important and it deserves our attention and promotion to raise awareness of its existence, so people know where to go to seek prayers and help in their time of need.
This is definitely a wonderful news! So much efforts, time and resources have been put in by many in order for such useful and informative website to be launched. More people get to learn about Dorje Shugden now with a click thanks them.
This website will be very useful for people who are unsure of the Dorje Shugden practice due to the ban, for sincere people who would like to start practicing, even for people who are already practising and have little knowledge of this world peace protector.
A protector’s role is to assist practitioners along the gradual path towards enlightenment and is very necessary for people in the kaliyuga where materialism reigns. I rejoice and sincerely hope that many more people will be benefited by this website and begin their spiritual practise with unconditional and full protection by Dorje Shugden.
Rinpoche always said that knowledge and it’s application will be what dispels ignorance. This new website focuses on the practice and teachings of Dorje Shugden so that people get accurate information about this dharma protector and can make educated decisions in relation to their spiritual path.
So much information about Dorje Shugden is tainted with politics and such a site reminds us what dharma is truly about. Knowledge and practice that will ultimately lead you to enlightenment. A journey to spiritual perfection.
Thank you rinpoche and the team who build this beautiful site!
Wonderful, Tsem Rinpoche is a real lama because he always protects the lineage at all cost, even at the cost of his reputation, simply because this Dorje Shugden is given to him by his guru and he will not be selective and he will not defy his guru’s instruction, he is REAL. This new Dorje Shugden will provide so much information for the public to learn and prctice, this is the best and most comprehensive Dorje Shugden resources in the world. This will truly benefit thousands and thousands of people. Thank you Rinpoche and team for this Bodhisattva act.
So proud of this website. It is not only clean, sleek, beautiful but easy to navigate and has so much info on Dorje Shugden. It is like the one stop resource centre on Dorje Shugden practice.
I can now easily point my friends to this website for them to learn more on Dorje Shugden as it is very complete.
Now anyone from anywhere in the world can have access to all the information on Dorje Shugden and the benefits of this great Dharma protector’s practice now and into the future. Many people can now experience the swiftness of Dorje Shugden and many dharma seeds can be planted for them to end their suffering. Dorje Shugden’s practice shall be forever preserved on the world wide web.
I am glad I was given an opportunity to contribute to the making of this fabulous website and to preserve the lineage.
I am so glad to see this new Dorje Shugden site. There is just so much more to the Dorje Shugden practice that sadly has been overshadowed by the controversy. The significance of this great Protector cannot be overstated because to put it simply, Dorje Shugden is by far the swiftest divine help we can get in this age. The new site itself explains why that is the case and it is a very logical explanation. (http://www.dorjeshugden.org/about).
I pray that with the launch of this new site that many people around the world who need assistance and who are looking for guidance on their spiritual path, but have been deterred by the politics, will now have this great Protector in their lives.
This site is a treasure and may it touch many lives and may the merits accrue to everyone who worked very hard to have this site up and running.
dorjeshugden.org is such a beautiful website, it’s filled with all sorts of information that we need on Dorje Shugden. During this degenerated times, it is very potent to spread the lineage of Dorje Shugden in order to benefit many people who are really sincere about their spiritual journey.
Dorje Shugden has definitely helped my family and myself, without Him, we wouldn’t be where we are today. We are very lucky that we are exposed to His practise, this website acts as an online tool to educate people around the world who do not have the access or knowledge to the practise.
Beatrix,
You are right, this website acts as an online tool to educate people around the world who do not have access to knowledge. We often forget how lucky we are to have a Dharma centre with a lama who teaches in our language and we take this for granted. In fact, many people around the world:
1) don’t have a Dharma centre or lama nearby so they rely on the Internet
2) have a centre nearby but the centre charges for teachings (to raise funds for their operations) so some people can’t afford to go to classes
3) have a lama who doesn’t speak their language so they have to rely on translations / translators who may not be very accurate
4) one of many other things that result in less-than-conducive conditions for them to learn Dharma!
Being reborn in Malaysia AND being able to study and work in Kechara must be the result of merits we accumulated from previous lives, because the predominant culture here (and in many other parts of the world) doesn’t encourage this type of work. This website is special because it arises from the kindness and gratitude of people like you who work so hard to lift the ban on Dorje Shugden, by sharing knowledge and information with everyone.
Such a beautiful website provides all the necessary information for those who are interested. website have knowledge easily accessible, people can make better choices,,, may this website contribute lifting the ban.. rejoice for great work..
Everyone encounters problems, whether we are rich or poor, young or old, male or female, all of us have difficulties and problems. A Dharma Protector is extremely helpful in reducing or removing our outer obstacles, from problems like ill health to failing careers.
Dorjeshugden.org is a storehouse of information on Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden, whom if we rely on, will be able to activate our positive karma and also hold back heavy negative karma from ripening.
Many in Kechara have carefully researched, gathered and translated much useful info for the public to learn more about Dorje Shugden, focusing more on the practice and guiding beginners how to get started. Thank you to all who have been working hard to get this site up. May many benefit through this website.
I rejoice for the people being involved in creating this most beneficial website. Dorje Shugden as World Peace Protector and emanation of the Wisdom Buddha Manjushri is a source of tremendous beneficial results.
H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche is offering to the world access to peace and happiness through http://www.dorjeshugden.org.
May everyone be blessed and protected by Gyalchen Dorje Shugden.
Thank You Rinpoche, for this Fantastic New Dorje Shugden website!
This website is a beacon in the darkness that is samsara. Some people may ask the reason why. It embodies the practices, history and explanation of the Dharma in relation to Dorje Shugden. This is important and unique. There is no other source available as encompassing of this practice as the new http://www.Dorjeshugden.org website.
This is endeavor has taken a long time, with many people involved, from researching, writing, layout, coding, hosting, upkeep, etc. This is for all those who are able to read, practice and gain benefit on their spiritual journey, just like I have.
Not only that but it gives information on the multitude of qualified masters who hold the practice as well. This resource, now available to all, is a treasury trove. Through the teachings many people will benefit, as the practice of the Dharma protector Dorje Shugden is so beneficial in the lives of those who are practicing the Buddhist path.
Dear Rinpoche
Thank you for this exciting announcement. I rejoice that the new website dorjeshugden.org has been launched. I am aware that this website is the result of dedication and hardwork of the students of H.E. the 25th Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. May the information available in this website be able to attract many people to Dorje Shugden practice and remove doubts in their mind.
I do believe that in this time and age, Dorje Shugden will help many people who propitiate him. His practice is potent because he has a close affinity with people from this day and age. Due to this reason, this website will play a key role in bringing Dorje Shugden practice to the world

Thank you for this amazing new website. It is through this knowledge that we can get from this site that would help us dispel all ignorance that we will have. Through the knowledge that we have we will be able to help more people and help to lift the ban on our protector, clearing the names of all the great masters.
I pray that this site will reason to millions so that they will be able to have Dorje Shugden in their lives and benefit from the practices just like what I have.
Thank you for this new website. It is an important source of information on the practice of the great Dharmapala Dorje Shugden. May it benefit all sincere practitioners on the path to enlightenment.
Wow! The site is beautiful and I am proud to see it go live. It was fun helping out with the content on this site. I pray that this will bring information and relief for millions out there who would come into contact with Dorje Shugden through this site. May it extend the lives of lineage lamas like Tsem Rinpoche and many others so that they bring a new renaissance of Dharma in our world.
Thank you Rinpoche for this website so more people will get to learn about Dorje Shugden and many many thanks to writers for their hard work and determination to left the ban…
Compliments tnx to all of you workers I rejoice in your fortune.Italychampatogme
Its always so good to have websites like this. Especially for subjects such as Dorje Shugden. A subject that is so important to so many people. There are 2 reasons why I think websites like this are very good.
One, they spread Dorje Shugdens teachings to more people. Since the world is now online and everybody has access to the internet through their smart phones, a website proves handy in sending information to people and making people more aware of certain things. And through this new website more people will be educated with Dorje Shugdens teachings, this will benefit many.
Two, i think that this website would contribute to the lifting of the ban. If the website spreads the teachings of Dorje Shugden to more people, than Dorje Shugden will have more supports. And with more supporters there is a stronger and growing resistance against the ban. This would put more pressure on the CTA and hopefully lead to the lifting of the ban.
Thank you Rinpoche and Kechara for this wonderful website! Many people ought to know the history and benefits of Dorje Shugden and the practice without any political nuances.
I believe that spirituality is often used in politics to achieve selfish agendas. Many people become confused and lose out on the potential benefits the religion can provide.
This website provides all the necessary info for those who are interested or even curious. With more knowledge easily accessible, people can make better choices that we serve them ultimately. Once again, thank you!
Thank you Rinpoche and the Kechara IT team members and who’s involved in setting up of this wonderful website.
Hope it will help more people though this website….
Thank you Rinpoche for conceptualising this website so more people can learn about Dorje Shugden and well done to all writers.
Greatly appreciate all the hard work done for the benefit of others. This website will sure create more awareness about the ban and expeditite the lifting of the ban very soon.
Dear Rinpoche,
Thank you for conceptualising this website. It is the website that the people needed now. It speaks truth and give an insight into Dorje Shugden practice that is shrouded by doubt and fear now due to the ban by H.H Dalai Lama. This website will spread Dorje Shugden’s practice far and wide once the ban is removed. Rejoice !!!
Humbly ,

“I am very happy to be able to present to you this comprehensive website about a very benevolent and powerful Buddhist Protector deity. I have been writing and teaching quite a lot about the World Peace Buddha and Dharma Protector Gyalchen Dorje Shugden, but this is the first time I am making a website about Him. I have wanted to do this for quite a long time because this is the Protector my holy Guru gave to me in 1983, and I want to share the incredible benefits of this practice with everyone so that you will be blessed and protected. I wish everyone the realization of Sunyata, the complete achievement of Bodhicitta and may you, I and all of us gain the full complete Enlightenment as Lord Buddha did 2500 years ago in Bodhgaya” ~ Tsem Rinpoche.
When I read the message from His Eminence the 25th Tsem Rinpoche, all I could feel is a gush of warmth and reverence knowing that our Guru is so generous and compassion and cares so much because He and His team painstakingly spend so much effort and time to bring this wondrous practice to the website in order to benefit everyone. As a singular, pure and complete repository of Dorje Shugden’s teaching and practice, anyone and everyone on earth can learn and practice without restriction.
Thank you so much Rinpoche for turning the wheel of Dharma, and the team for making this project a reality. I am very certain many people will benefit from this new website.
Humbly, bowing down,

Thank you Rinpoche and the team members involved in conceptualizing and setting up of this wonderful website. So much information on the World Peace Protector Dorje Shugden that will bring so much blessings, peace and most of all, helping us on our path to gaining full boddhicitta.
