A Daily Request for Wealth1, Peace2 and Protection3
Composed by H.E. Tsem Rinpoche
In the heavens4 there are myriad manifestations of the divine. All those manifestations specifically show us different aspects of divinity5 in order to be of benefit to all living beings. All the rupakaya6 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 Manjushri7 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 Bhagavān8 Dorje Shugden, who wears a round dome hat and the three robes of a saffroned bhikshu9, 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 sky10 to continue my journey of spiritual waxing.
I offer you saffron-coloured tea and my faith to fulfill my prayers and gain siddhis11. By reciting your mantra, may healing, peace, love, long life, protection and perfect view of sunyata12 arise.
Mantra of fulfillment, peace and wisdom: OM BENZA WIKI BITANA SOHA
(It is good to recite this mantra one rosary or more per day. Occasionally, engage in retreats where you recite the mantra 100,000 times or more per year, every year. Consistency brings results!)
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.
This daily prayer to Dorje Shugden was composed by H.E. Tsem Rinpoche on Thursday, 26 February 2015 at 2:03am for Datin MJ. There are many rituals, texts, prayers and rites on Dorje Shugden. But for a person who has many responsibilities and may not have the time, this might suit them better. I have composed this with the motivation to make it simple for Datin. This prayer can be used by anyone at any time. After all, words are just an expression of the universal hopes and wishes we all have. It is needless to be focused on words, but we do need them as they verbalise our aspirations. May this short and concise prayer be of benefit to Datin, and I will have this available for many. Anyone may engage in this prayer without specific permission, regardless of faith. Dorje Shugden helps all beings without labels of religion, race, creed or background. Datin was my inspiration for composing this. The many people who will use this to ‘contact’ World Peace Buddha and Protector Dorje Shugden have Datin to thank. I offer my best wishes. Sarva Mangalam!

多杰雄登短祈愿文
祈求财富、详和与庇佑之日常祈愿
此多杰雄登日常祈愿文乃由尊贵的第廿五世詹杜固仁波切撰于2015年2月26日凌晨2时03分。
为利有情，诸佛示现种种殊胜化身。诸佛色身，皆为悲、智、力之圆满体现。众生心识未驯，势必经历情绪高低起伏；然而，无论面对快乐、悲伤、失落、满足、困惑或空虚，我们皆祈请诸佛降临护佑。
伟大的智慧化身多杰雄登，既然您已经看透了我等之体性，请将我等紧拥入怀，视为独子般守护。
尽管诸佛化身并不希求我们的供养和赠馈，请让我们为无上的文殊多杰雄登您献上一坛热茶、熏香和心咒，祈求您给予我等加持，成为我等生命中的一部分，常伴随我等左右。
无论吉凶祸福，请为我等显示征兆和提示。若恶事降临，立即平息之。我将希望托付于您，请加持我疲惫和憔悴的心。
面对困境、难题和困惑时，我们祈求集一切威力、殊胜和遍知于一身的您，恩赐加持予我，我的至亲、我的周遭，乃至宠物。愿我获得智慧、找到希望并安住于详和。
您头戴圆顶帽，身穿藏红色三法衣；一手挥舞解脱、正义和智慧之宝剑，一手捧握如意宝，骑着那能征服一切违缘的至尊雪狮，殊胜护法多杰雄登，请您降临成就我的心愿。我知自己的希求并不清净圆满，故愿称臣于您智慧之下，即便您所赐的不尽符合我所愿。请加持我等一切众生，让我们等登无上解脱之城。
伟大护法多杰雄登，我以虔心祈求您成为我生命中的一部分，护佑我的家人，赐予我智慧、安适和慰藉，好让我能无私奉献，从此珍视他人而不再只珍视自己，为自己所爱的人制造更多问题。
请给予我加持，让我变得更仁慈，更富智慧、慈悲和宽容，让我能包容一切伤我和爱我的人。为了更贴近您，多杰雄登，我等必须放下平庸，摒弃成见、投射，并且停止固步自封。在我临终的那一刻，唯有曾经的善行才是重要的，一切的人、事、物终究都必须放下。愿我对此有所觉悟，当下舍下贪执。在这关键时刻，请让我亲睹您，强大和仁慈的多杰雄登；请引领我迈向该前往的方向，延续光明的菩提道。
让我为您献上藏红色的汉茶和虔敬之心，请圆满我的祈愿，赐予我悉地。透过持诵您的心咒，祈愿疗愈、详和、爱、长寿、庇佑和空性正见皆得以生起。
满愿、详和与智慧心咒：

Dear friends,
Tibet has produced many powerful meditations, rituals and guidelines to help us gain spiritual protection, gain wisdom and higher states of consciousness. In general Tibet has produced many powerful methods for the growth of our spiritual evolution. Dorje Shugden is an angel, a saint, a powerful spiritual protector-warrior who originated 350 years ago when a highly awakened Tibetan Lama fulfilled his vows to become a special being to grant protection, wisdom, material needs, safety when travelling (normal and astral travel) and spiritual awakening. Both the Great 5th Dalai Lama and the current His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama composed short yet effective prayers to invoke upon the power and blessings of this special saint and protector. One can recite either one of the prayers that you feel suits you, anytime or even daily. When you feel a special need for help, you can recite either prayer anytime. When you are feeling down, afraid or just need a blessing, you can recite them. After reciting either invocation, it is good to chant the mantra of Dorje Shugden: Om Benza Wiki Bitana Soha.
You do not have to be a Buddhist or practitioner of any religion to invoke upon the blessings and protection of this special enlightened and awakened angel Dorje Shugden. He helps all without discrimination or bias as he is filled with compassion and love. Divinity has no boundaries, they help all who call upon them.
Enclosed are the prayers in English, Chinese and Tibetan.
May you be safe, protected and blessed.
Tsem Rinpoche

Divination (‘mo’) Text by Dorje Shugden
This is an important divination (‘mo’) text composed by Dorje Shugden himself. Dorje Shugden took trance of the Choyang Dulzin oracle lama, the senior oracle of Gaden Shartse Monastery, and instantly on the spot composed this text within two hours.
The divination text contains information on how to use dice to do divination for the future and is known to be highly accurate. When practitioners use this text, they will be in direct contact with Dorje Shugden to get answers to questions about the future. It is for those who have good samaya with Dorje Shugden and are free of the eight worldly dharmas to be of benefit to others in divining the future.
Tsem Rinpoche
DS-MO-choyang.pdf
Dorje Shugden is an emanation of Manjushri, so he is a fully enlightened dharma protector who we can rely on. Many high lamas also relied on him. For examples, Trijang Rinpoche, Zong Rinpoche, Panchen Lama, etc. Not only many lamas rely on Dorje Shugden, but many high lamas also have written prayers to Dorje Shugden.
However, the Tibetan leadership claims that Dorje Shugden is a demon and we should not propitiate him. They said Dorje Shugden will shorten the life of the Dalai Lama, he will harm people who practice other Buddhist traditions. They also said Dorje Shugden practitioners are Chinese paid spies to jeopardise the Free Tibet cause.
All these claims are not true at all. If Dorje Shugden is a demon, why all the high lamas don’t come together to subdue him or send him to the light? Dorje Shugden cannot be subdued because he is a Buddha. The Dalai Lama is 83 years old this year, how is his life being shortened? Until today, no one can provide any proof to the claim that Dorje Shugden practitioners are paid by the Chinese government.
Dorje Shugden is a scapegoat to cover up the failure and incompetent of the Tibetan leadership. They have fought for 60 years for the freedom of Tibet but until today, there is no progress.
Dear friends around the world,
For your convenience I’ve recorded myself reciting this prayer so it is easy to follow along. I have uploaded the video and also given a youtube link here. I do hope you will recite this prayer daily to the powerful yet compassionate Dorje Shugden so that you will be protected and granted your needs for your lives as well as your spiritual growth. Much Care, Tsem Rinpoche

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.

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.
Referring to this part of the prayer:
May I know at the Om Benza Wiki Bitana Soha, do we start to recite it or just read the mantra out once and then continue reading the part “I dedicate this supreme heartfelt prayer…”?
Great message every Tibetan especially must read!
This is a powerful picture of Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen, Kensur Kyabje Lati Rinpoche and the current incarnation of Trijang Rinpoche meeting together in the year 2000 when Trijang Rinpoche was 18. All three lamas are Dorje Shugden practitioners. In fact Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen was the one that first encouraged my practice of Dorje Shugden when I was 16 years old when I joined his beautiful Thubten Dhargye Ling centre in Los Angeles. I lived with Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen for 8 years before proceeding to Gaden Monastery in South India. Later Kyabje Zong Rinpoche came to our Los Angeles centre and granted sogtae (permission ceremony) to practice Dorje Shugden for life as requested by Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen. Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen had tremendous faith in Trijang Rinpoche. Kyabje Lati Rinpoche was innovative, dedicated and very much focused on bringing dharma to many. He had tremendous faith in Dorje Shugden as I had the honour to meet him many times. He would seek advice from Dorje Shugden many times via the oracle of Gaden Monastery. Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen and Kensur Kyabje Lati Rinpoche have since passed away while the current Trijang Rinpoche is a perfect lineage holder and practitioner of Dharma while he keeps Dorje Shugden as his personal protector as he has done so for many lifetimes. This is a powerful and beautiful picture of three great lamas of Buddha’s lineage and also of Gaden Monastery.
~Tsem Rinpoche
This is such a wonderful change. People who take the time to research and think logically about the Dorje Shugden issue can easily see past the prejudice. I am seeing more and more of this shift away from blind hatred of an ancient and holy practice that has been maligned. Very happy for Suzy.
Here’s the link to Suzy’s comment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl-4lIwxph4&t=11s
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this powerful short prayer to Dorje Shugden.
Some of the people said Dorje Shugden is a demon/devil and therefore if we practice Dorje Shugden, it is equivalent to the worship of demon. Nevertheless, if Dorje Shugden is really a demon, this short prayer to Dorje Shugden may not has the phrases to bless everyone to enter into the supreme city of liberation and ask for the blessing to become kinder, wiser, more compassionate and many more other good qualities.
May Manjushri and Dorje Shugden bless everyone to illuminate their ignorance and increase wisdom to see the truth.
Beautiful and powerful short prayer to Dorje Shugden composed by Rinpoche. This prayer is short yet very powerful and easy to understand, visualize suitable for all us and for those who are new to Tibetan Buddhism.Thank you Rinpoche for this beautiful and powerful prayer.May Rinpoche always healthy to continue teachings and guiding us all.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing with us this very beautifully composed prayer to Dorje Shugden. The prayer abridge the complete path to enlightenment complete with the powerful holy mantra Om Benza Wiki Bitana Soha. May Datin MJ and everyone who recites this daily be blessed on their spiritual journey and their faith in Dorje Shugden grow forever more.
Hello Rinpoche
This link will take you to a thangka of Dorje Shugden and Vajrapani.
https://dorjeshugdenimagelibrary.wordpress.com/photo-gallery/buddha-vajrapani-and-dorje-shugden/
Hello Rinpoche
If we can now see Dorje Shugden as Buddha Vajrapani as per the Sera Monastery tradition what does that mean?
It appears to mean that we can now see the wrathful emanation of “Trakze” in a new and different light. Trakze is seen as wrathful Dorje Shugden riding on a “Garuda”. Can Trakze now be seen as “Buddha Vajrapani Dorje Shugden” riding of “Buddha Vajrapani Black Garuda”?
You have given teachings on Lama Zopa’s ” Fire Sword of Black Garuda” practice.
Please google “PDF Black Garuda FPMT” to see the actual practice. It starts with “NAMO GURU VAJRAPANIYI” which is “Homage to Guru Vajrapani”. It states in this practice “(Look at Black Garuda with the understanding and devotion that this is actually Buddha)……”. This indicates that this practice is to be seen as a “Buddha Vajrapani” practice.
If you wish to see Dorje Shugden as “Buddha Manjushri” that is perfectly fine. You can also now see Dorje Shugden as “Buddha Vajrapani” as per the 18th century Sera Monastery tradition that was followed by the 2nd Reting Rinpoche, Serkong Dorje Chang and the monks of Sera Monastery.
With that in mind you can now practice “Trakze” as “Buddha Vajrapani Dorje Shugden” riding on “Buddha Vajrapani Black Garuda”. You can now see “Trakze” as two “Buddha Vajrapani’s” in one.
What do you think of all of this Tsem Tulku?
Can “Trakze” now be seen as two “Buddha Vajrapani’s” combined into one?
Hello Rinpoche
This is further to my reply about Dorje Shugden is an emanation Buddha Vajrapani.
Please google “PDF His Holiness Trijang Rinpoche – Dorje Shugden”.
On page 3 below the wrathful photo of Dorje Shugden you will read,”Part of a praise written by Serkong Dorje Chang says:….YOU ARE VAJRAPANI, DORJE SHUGDEN I CONSECRATE YOU, THE POWERFUL ONE LIKE VAJRAPANI,THE PROTECTOR OF TSONGKAHAPS’S TEACHINGS”.
This is further proof of the Sera Monastery tradition of the 18th century the holds that Dorje Shugden is Vajrapani.
I hope you find this interesting.
This beautiful prayer is simple at first glance but is full of depth and profundity. We invoke the wisdom, compassion and skillful means of Dorje Shugden to help us whose minds are untrained and full of confusion. We request his blessings for wealth,peace and protection.
As we pray for his blessings and help, we also surrender to his wisdom “for the outcome though it may not be what we have in mind”.
We ask that we may “see wisdom, find hope and be at peace”, and that we may “become kinder, wiser, more compassionate, tolerant and very forgiving to all those who hurt and love us”. We ask most importantly that in our final moments that the powerful and merciful Dorje Shugden will take us to where we may continue our spiritual journey toward peace and enlightenment.
Reciting the sacred and powerful Mantra of Dorje Shugden -Om Benza Wiki Bitana Soha – will bring us ultimate fulfilment, peace and healing, love, long life, protection and wisdom.
Thank you Rinpoche for this beautiful and powerful prayer.
Thank you Rinpoche for this lovely prayer to Dorje Shugden. We remind ourselves that the range of emotions we feel everyday is due to our untrained mind. Our praises and offerings to Dorje Shugden is not that he needs them but out of compassion, he allows us to create merit. We usually present a list of requirements and wishes for things that we think will make us happy, but we remind ourselves that we should instead have a higher purpose as those things will have no use for us when we eventually pass. It would be more worthwhile to request help to cultivate our minds and develop attainments. May this be our daily prayer. _/\_
Hello Rinpoche
Were you aware that His Holiness Serkong Dorje Chang, Sera Monastery and the 2nd Reting Rinpoche (1759-1815) considered Dorje Shugden and emanation of the Buddha Vajrapani?
Yes that’s correct, starting in the 18th century Dorje Shugden was worshipped as an emanation of Vajrapani. Long, long, before our contemporary times were he is considered an emanation of Manjushri.
To find out more please google “Varjapani and Dorje Shugden” or go to http://www.dorjeshugdenhistory.com/among-shugden-texts-summary.html or http://www.dorjeshugdenhistory.com/among-shugden-texts-1759.html.
Or you also can check with the 7th Panglung Kuten whom you have so kindly given a permanent home to. While he is in trance Kache Marpo can tell you if H.H. Serkong Dorje Chang, the 2nd Reting Rinpoche and Sera Monastery believed Dorje Shugden to be an emanation of Buddha Vajrapani.
Here are some quotes from dorjeshugdenhistory.com. “Reting Rinpoche asked Dragri Gyatso Thaye to write the FIRST Gelug Long Ritual (Kangso) for Dorje Shugden….The Sera (Monastery) tradition of recognizing Dorje Shugden as Vajrapani continued through the Rituals of the Sera Tantric College….Finally Serkong Dorje Chang of Ganden Monastery seems to have written his Kangso in view of the tradition recognizing him as Vajrapani…..Not only was Dorje Shugden recognized as Avalokiteshvara and Vajrapani but he was recognized as Manjushri as well. This tradition is the most popular in contemporary times….”.
Why does the 14th Dalai Lama and the CTA continue with their lies that Dorje Shugden is and “Unenlightened Being”? Since the 18th century there is documented evidence to show that Dorje Shugden was considered the recognized emanation of Buddha Vajrapani.
For over 400 years Dorje Shugden has been seen by great Buddhist Tulku’s as being either the emanation of Avalokiteshvara, Vajrapani and most recently as Manjushri. All are Buddhas from whom Dorje Shugden is an emanation except in the eyes of the Dalai Lama and the CTA who continue to deny what their own history books show.
Dalai Lama STOP LYING. CTA STOP LYING.
I think your world wide readership would find this a excellent full article from you and you staff.
Have a happy 2017 Rinpoche.
From Harold and the Tengyeling Oracle
** 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 **
This is so true. The mind plays tricks and coupled with all the perceptions it’s almost impossible to know what is “right ” for us. Having faith and propitiating Dorje Shugden”s guidance and help will lead us to a higher goal, something our current state of mind may not sense regularly.
Thank you Rinpoche for your wisdom and compassion. With folded hands .
Thank you Rinpoche for composing this powerful short prayer that suit the modern people who may not understand the wrathful visualization of tantric imagery and offerings in other prayers.
Although this prayer is short, it contains the Three Principle Paths and completion of the path which are put in modern terms and language so that it is easier for us, especially the new practitioners, to understand, visualize and set our motivation properly.
I am extremely happy that the Chinese version is also available! This would be very good for those who does not understand English!
Thank you so much Rinpoche for finding all ways for many people to be connected with Lord Shugden, the emanation of Buddha of Wisdom. Thank you to Datin MJ too.
Thank you Rinpoche for composing this very blessed,powerful and beautiful Dorje Shugden prayer to benefit everyone. It is very suitable and convenient for people who are extremely busy. Really wonderful. _/\_
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this powerful and beautiful prayers to Dorje Shugden. It is because of your kindness that we get to know this great Dharma protector.
May more people are able to practise Dorje Shugden and that the discrimination on the practitioners be stop.
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!

Thank you Rinpoche for composing this personal Dorje Shugden prayer.
Everyday, I do 2 Dorje Shugden’s prayers.
Rinpoche’s composed version and immediately after that, the whole Dorje Shugden’s Puja from the book with tea offerings.
Rinpoche’s composed version feels more natural and has the personal feel when the prayers are said to Bhagawan Dorje Shugden.
Thank you Rinpoche.
This is such a beautiful prayer, which is a manifestation of the kindness and patience of our Guru who “personalizes” the practice to our daily life and routine. Although the prayer has been condensed, it is still complete and potent with all the blessings of the 3 Jewels. This reiterates the great importance of a Guru because only he has the wisdom and skill to adapt the teachings of Lord Buddha to the 21st century needs.
I hope the busy spiritual seekers of this era would grab this opportunity and begin their practice with this concise prayer and experience the vast benefits of Dorje Shugden’s practice both on a secular and spiritual level.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this short but complete prayer to Dorje Shugden. I will download it for my daughter to recite daily.
With folded hands.

Thank you rinpoche kindness to compose this praise to lord Dorje Shugden.
Dear Rinpoche,
Thank You for composing this prayer and sharing it with all of us.
Our untrained mind and all the unbalanced emotions bring us to states where we don’t focus out to benefit others. We need Dorje Shugden’s wisdom to increase the positive.
We can rely fully on Dorje Shugden as He will guide us to the supreme, to liberation.
Only the positive will matter when we leave this plane of existence. This is something to remember everyday. Everything else we will leave behind and is empty.
With folded hands
Thank you Rinpoche for composing this beautiful short prayer to Dorje Shugden. This is definitely easier for us beginners to engage in the practise of Dorje Shugden. The additional explanations also make us easy to understand the meaning of the prayer easier.
Thank you Rinpoche,

A beautifully composed prayer for people who don’t or can’t ‘find’ time. It’s short and handy yet complete for people on the go or those who travel a lot and for those who are new. Thank you, Rinpoche.
May Buddha Lord Shugden protect us and grant us our wishes ? _()_
When we recite the prayer of praise to Dorje Shugden, we know that we are addressing Manjushri’s immense qualities and thus develop and increase our faith and confidence in him by calling him to mind. It is very beneficial and meaningful. This is the most precious devotional prayer to our Dharma Protector for us because it was composed by our Root Teacher and due to our close affinity to our teacher, it is more efficacious. Thank you Rinpoche for composing this prayers for us.
Thank you Rinpoche for composing such great prayer. This concise prayer will benefits a lot of new people as it’s straight forward and easy to understand. At this time due to our delusion and negative karma some may not even have the chance to meet this great protector but with Rinpoche’s blog, Rinpoche make the protector prayer simpler and concise for many people to be able to connect to Dorje Shugden easier.
Thank you Rinpoche again for this precious prayer and may more people able to connect with Dorje Shugden and bring them great assistant towards their dharma practice.
Dear Rinpoche, such a beautiful prayer to Bhagwan Dorje Shugden! Thank you Rinpoche!
I especially love this part of the prayer.
“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.”
May all who recite this beautiful prayers and His mantras be like the above.
Do you know Khenpo Tsutrim Namdak Rinpoche ?
“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.” Thank you Rinpoche ~ outstanding ~ and so beneficial for so many

Thank you thank you thank you!
In reference the practice of Dorje Shugden, would I need a direct transmission and/or initiation?
I feel the need to cleanse my home from negative energies and misfortunes that we’ve been having lately.
We have neighbors who I may call energy vampires. They take away everything we do in our home to keep it cleansed from impurities and negativity, however, these neighbors are very negative, noise makers, and always fighting with each other causing loudness around and close to us. We can’t move because our lease will not expire until August of this year.
I have received initiation and transmission directly from HH Sakya Trizin on Vajrayogini and my question is, whom from them, Dorje Shugden and Vajrayogini, would be more powerful in guiding me and removing all these obstacles that we have at the moment?
Please advise.
In the Dharma,
Lourdes Metz
(Kunga Chodrin – name given to me by HH Sakya Trizin)
Dear Rinpoche,
The prayers is so beautiful. As Rinpoche mentioned, it does not have the graphic imagery of wrathful offerings or visualisation..so this prayers makes it easier to understanding without explanations.
Rinpoche’s love to Dorje Shugden and to Datin MJ can be seen in this wonderful short prayers.
Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you Rinpoche! Such an inspiring prayer! In the NKT we are taught that Dorje Shugden is The Wisdom Buddha. Can you substitute Wisdom Buddha for unfamiliar terms like ‘Bhagavan’ when you recite this prayer?
Dear Mark O’Neil,
What you are taught in NKT is absolutely correct. Dorje Shugden is a Wisdom Buddha for sure.
All the great lamas of the past including Nyingma, Sakya and Gelug Lamas have all said Dorje Shugden is emanation of Avalokitesvara or Vajrapani and Manjushri. The point is he is all as he is enlightened. But all these great masters conclude he is one Buddha or another Buddha, which one does not matter in the end.
Many of our mantras, prayers, sadhanas are from the Sanskrit language directly or indirectly. The names of the Buddhas are also in Sanskrit for example Vajra Yogini. In this ancient Indian script Bhagawan would mean something supreme or supremely divine beings (An epithet for God, In Buddhism’s Pali scriptures, the term is used with Gautama Buddha, referring to him as Bhagavān Buddha (translated with the phrase ‘Lord Buddha’ or ‘The Blessed One’) The term Bhagavān is also found in other Theravadin, Mahayana and Tantric Buddhist texts. Bhagavān is generally translated as Lord or God. But not in a Judeo-Christian sense of God). Addressing Dorje Shugden as Bhagawan would mean he is a supremely high being (Buddha) and the highest of the high. It is honorific. Therefore it is an honorific title to Dorje Shugden from deep respect.
If you wish to substitute it with Wisdom Buddha, of course you may. Prayers are from the sincere heart and Dorje Shugden listens to sincerity more than words. 🙂
I wish you well. Tsem Rinpoche
Thank you, Rinpoche, for your care and kindness to compose this short yet powerful prayers of Dorje Shugden. It is very useful for the many to come to recite this prayer and connect to Dorje Shugden. May all those who recite this prayer receive great blessings.
Dear Rinpoche,
A beautiful prayer, may Datin MJ be blessed by Dorje Shugden and whoever that will recite this beautiful words.
May the world be able now to say prayers to Dorje Shugden which is short, beautiful and meaningful.
Thank you so much Rinpoche for this prayer. As I read thru the words, it seems to resonate with what I currently need so much, at this very moment. It helped calm my mind n settle my thoughts. I am going to incorporate this prayer in my sadhana in a few minutes. May this prayer reach the masses to bring blessings of peace n understanding. Thank you _/\_
Thank you Rinpoche for your kindness and compassion by composing and sharing the short, precise and powerful prayer to Dorje Shugden. May those who are stuck within the hectic life, be blessed and given protection by Dorje Shugden upon reciting the prayer and mantra of Dorje Shugden. I pray for all sentient beings to be awaken from ignorance through the wisdom granted by Dorje Shugden, who is the emanation of Manjushri.
Thank you Rinpoche. This is really beautifull. Thank you again
thank you Rinpoche. Thank you for the kindness for sharing this wonderful prayer.
Thank you Rinpoche for your compassion in sharing the holy short prayer to Dorje Shugden with us.
May all those who have a chance to recite this holy prayer be blessed and protected by Dorje Shugden. “OM BENZA WIKI BITANA SOHA “
Dear Rinpoche,
when i recite it i could feel the strong positive energy in my heart and whole body, it is so powerful and touching prayer you composed for us Rinpoche, Thank you so much and i dedicate all the merits for your long live Rinpoche _/\_
Dear Rinpoche,
Thank you for sharing the short prayer to DS. I have saved it in my Kindle and printed out one copy for my office. Will pray daily.
I have a DS tsa tsa in office besides the Green Tara statue which was one of Rinpoche’s personal collection I invited a few years ago in KL. Everyday in office, I prepare a cup of black tea for DS and recite the mantra of DS and Green Tara. Many colleagues said my office is very cosy and comfortable. I believe it’s the positive energy DS and Tara brought in.
In daily work, we all have to face all kinds of situations, problem, good and bad. It doesn’t mean as long as I have put these Buddha statues in the office, there won’t be any trouble but only good news. That’s not true. But, whenever challenging situation comes, I pray that I can make the decision for the benefit for more people and for the long term. Even a current “bad” news could be the beginning of a good path in the near future. And so far all things worked out pretty good. I believe as long as we hold the right faith, DS and other Buddha will guide us and protect us and bring us the success that we need to benefit more people.
All these years we pray DS at home, things are only getting better. We have changed a lot and we are becoming better person every day. How can DS be evil? I believe my Guru and my Guru’s Guru…all these great masters. Isn’t that quite naive / silly to deny their practise / belief? Let’s be logical.

Dear Rinpoche,
Thank you for composing this daily prayer for Datin MJ in order for it to be shared around the world. May all be benefits from this.
Cheers.
Yes, Calvin …. Due to the request by Datin, we have this prayer of Lord Dorje Shugden which is easier to comprehend and excellent for those who are busy. Thank you so much.
I have recited this prayer as well when I was reading this for the very first time just now. May this prayer benefits many beings and may it be a cause for Rinpoche to have long life and stable health. Thank you Rinpoche.
Dear Rinpoche,
I will disseminate this precious prayers to people I come across who is interested in DS… thank you for sharing.
On behalf of all Dorje Shugden practioners, may I express my heartfelt thanks for your wonderful and precious composition of this beautiful short prayer for Dorje Shugden. You have not only so rightfully expressed our thoughts, but brillantly took the words out of our mouth! Being with Rinpoche, we should know by now that Rinpoche has and will never forget any kindnesses he has ever received from anyone, especially our Dharma protectors, and is ever determined to pay-back by becoming highly spiritually evolved to be of service to benefit others. May Rinpoche be blessed with a healthy long life to continously focus his desire in benefitting all living beings. With folded hands, I gratefully thank you once again, Rinpoche. Om mani Padme Hung.
Great Prayer Rinpoche thank You.
Laghen Champa Togme Claudio. Cipullo
Thank you Rinpoche for this short & easy prayer that will benefit lots of working people who are short of time
Dear Rinpoche,
Rinpoche’s compassion and concern for our spiritual well being are some of the things that I love and am truly grateful for. Thank you with folded and gratitude in my heart for this prayer. It is excellent for busy people and the modern language is easy to understand.
Thank you Rinpoche for allowing this holy prayer to be readily available to the masses. May all who recites this prayer receive its incredible blessings.
Thank you Rinpoche as always. Manjushri is a must for me I figure. It is like what you have said before that, Manjushri is more important than food. I will incorporate this prayer in my prayers.
Dear sincere practitioners,
This is a recent composition I have done which is a daily short prayer to Dorje Shugden. It contains the Three Principle Paths and completion of the path but in modern terms and language. This prayer will not have the graphic imagery of wrathful offerings, wrathful sensory offerings and wrathful visualization as many new people may not understand. Tantric imagery and offerings require explanation. This prayer is necessary for today’s time and mode of thinking.
I hope we can get this into Chinese language very soon as there are many Chinese speaking people here in our region.
This prayer is something you can offer all new comers to recite daily combined with Black Tea (serkym) and mantra. Just this prayer and mantra would be effective too.
I hope this will benefit many. My motivation is to plant the seeds of Manjushri for now and the future to as many beings karmically ready as I can.
Tsem Rinpoche
Thank you Rinpoche for composing and sharing this meaningful and beautiful prayer. The words in this prayer somewhat magically makes me feel peaceful and happy. Thank Rinpoche with folded hands.
