Dorje Shugden Graphic Novels
(By Tsem Rinpoche)
Dear friends,
The Dharma protector Dorje Shugden arose out of great enlightened compassion to benefit sentient beings during our time. His line of previous incarnations stem all the way back to Manjushri, the Buddha of wisdom. In each of his previous lifetimes before arising as Dorje Shugden, he made a strong and lasting contribution in preserving and spreading the teachings of the Buddha. As it is the Buddha’s teachings that lead us out of our suffering, these acts show his great compassion and wisdom. His earlier lives performed miracles in order to garner faith in the minds of people, whereas in his later lives, before arising as a Dharma protector, he put great effort in spreading or teaching the Dharma.
In Buddhism, it is said we should always know more about what we are practicing, to ensure that it is beneficial for us. We need to examine the origins of a teaching or practice, in order to make sure that it is genuine and that it is beneficial on our spiritual path. In the case of Dorje Shugden, we need to know and analyse his mindstream to know his true qualities. On our ordinary level, as beings who do not have high spiritual attainments to see directly, we need to analyse his previous lives and his true origins to check if his mind is enlightened or not, and therefore a Dharma protector to be relied on fully.
Since that is the case, and for the contemporary practitioner, a graphic novel in multiple languages is being made available here for all of you. Through this, everyone has access to the information about Dorje Shugden, his previous lives, and the manner in which he arose, so you can see just how great this Dharma protector is, and that he is relevant in our modern day and age. I hope you enjoy reading the graphic novel and are able to learn more and deepen your understanding of this great Dharma protector, who aids practitioners out of his enlightened compassion and wisdom.

Origins of Dorje Shugden
In his lifetime as Dulzin Drakpa Gyeltsen, he was requested to become a Dharma protector by the worldly protector named Nechung, who was subdued by Guru Rinpoche. Nechung appeared to Dulzin Drakpa Gyeltsen as a white dove and flew around the teaching hall where Lama Tsongkhapa was giving teachings.
Recognising Nechung’s true form, Dulzin Drakpa Gyeltsen approached him. Nechung then transformed into a little boy and told Dulzin Drakpa Gyeltsen that Lama Tsongkhapa’s teachings would require special protection and asked him to become the chief protector of these teachings which he later agreed to.
After several incarnations, Dulzin Drakpa Gyeltsen incarnated as Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen. Then during an audience with Nechung, through the oracle, Nechung reminded Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen about the promise he had made. But Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen could not remember the promise as he had made it a few lifetimes ago. After eating some blessed rice given to him by Nechung, Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen began to remember the promise and that he had agreed to become a Dharma protector.
Due to his outstanding knowledge of the Dharma and teachings, he was very much sought after. The supporters of His Holiness the 5th Dalai Lama were jealous of his fame and therefore decided to murder him so that he would no longer be a threat to the Dalai Lama’s political power and influence. This led to many more incidents, coupled with magical and mystical twists, which you can find out more about by reading the graphic novels.
Dorje Shugden’s Five Families
Duldzin Dorje Shugden
The principle deity is Dulzin and he is named after his previous life, Dulzin Drakpa Gyaltsen, the Holder of the Vinaya who was one of the eight main disciples of Lama Tsongkhapa. He wears the golden domed hat of a travelling lama on his head and is attired in the three sets of robes of a fully ordained monk.
In his hands, he holds a meandering wisdom sword and the heart of the enemy, symbolising the uprooting of ignorance. He also carries a taming hook in the crook of his left arm and rides upon a snow lion symbolising great fearlessness.
Dulzin is the manifestation of the aggregate of consciousness or the Buddha Akshobhya and therefore, he counters anger and hatred. He bestows wisdom and clears all inner and outer obstacles.
Shize Vairochana Shugden
Shize, the pacifying form of Dorje Shugden, appears as a radiant prince with a semi-wrathful smile. In his right hand, he holds a ritual arrow tied with a mirror and in his left hand, he holds a noose. He is white in colour and wears flowing white silk robes, a golden turban and rides the King of Elephants.
Shize is the manifestation of the aggregate of form or the Buddha Vairochana and therefore, he counters ignorance. He purifies our negative karma and heals practitioners by pacifying serious illnesses, bestows clairvoyant abilities and quells natural disasters. Click here to learn more about Shize.
Gyenze Ratna Shugden
Gyenze, the increasing form of Dorje Shugden, holds a long-life vase with the branch of a wish-granting tree skywards in his right hand and a bowl filled with jewels in his left. He is sometimes depicted with a taming hook and victory banner in the crook of his left arm. He is yellow in colour, wears princely yellow robes and rides a golden palomino horse.
Gyenze is the manifestation of the aggregate of feeling or the Buddha Ratnasambhava and therefore, he counters pride and miserliness. He increases life force, wisdom, inner and outer wealth, and all that is meritorious. Click here to learn more about Gyenze.
Wangze Pema Shugden
Wangze, the controlling form of Dorje Shugden, is blood red in colour and has a semi-wrathful and flirtatious expression. He holds a taming vajra hook in his right hand and a jewelled noose in his left. He wears red silk robes adorned with flowers and rides upon a turquoise dragon.
Wangze is the manifestation of the aggregate of discrimination or the Buddha Amitabha and therefore, he counters desire and lust. He brings about peace of mind and helps to tame very difficult people and turn negative situations around. Click here to learn more about Wangze.
Trakze Karma Shugden
Trakze, the supremely wrathful form of Dorje Shugden, is dark red in colour and has an extremely wrathful appearance. He holds a huge sword in his right hand and clutches a bleeding heart in his left. He is dressed in black silk garments and rides upon a powerful Garuda.
Trakze is the manifestation of the aggregate of compositional factors or the Buddha Amoghasiddhi and therefore, he counters jealousy and fear. His practice is especially efficacious in overcoming powerful and life-threatening obstacles, violent and volatile living spaces, and huge obstacles for both spiritual and secular endeavours.

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

Divination (‘mo’) Text by Dorje Shugden
This is an important divination (‘mo’) text composed by Dorje Shugden himself. Dorje Shugden took trance of the Choyang Dulzin oracle lama, the senior oracle of Gaden Shartse Monastery, and instantly on the spot composed this text within two hours.
The divination text contains information on how to use dice to do divination for the future and is known to be highly accurate. When practitioners use this text, they will be in direct contact with Dorje Shugden to get answers to questions about the future. It is for those who have good samaya with Dorje Shugden and are free of the eight worldly dharmas to be of benefit to others in divining the future.

May we always be close to our Guru and the Buddhas and be protected by Dorje Shugden.
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 assistants 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 (Avalokiteshvara, 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.

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.
Thank you, Rinpoche for making these amazing graphic novels available for free download. Not just one language but multiple languages are made available. Wow! So many people from various nations are able to learn Dorje Shugden’s history, purpose, and benefits.
The beautiful illustrations and clear narratives make Dorje Shugden’s life story fun, easy to read and understand. As a practitioner, learning Dorje Shugden’s story has increased my faith in this wonderful protector. For non-practitioners, learning the history and benefits can help others make a wise decision to propitiate him. This is why learning about DS is so important.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this article and explaining the importance of knowing who Dorje Shugden and his origins. Without clear understanding, we may not fully aware of the practise, benefits, how and why he arose as a protector. By having this basic knowledge we can then drill into more to understand each 5 forms of Dorje Shugden. May more people get to know Dorje Shugden practise and help Lama Tsongkhapa lineage to flourish.
Great message every Tibetan especially must read!
Wow! 11 languages! This is really lots of work to get translation for 11 languages. Thank you Rinpoche and the team for making it available for many people to learn more, analysis on the mindstream on Dorje Shugden previous lives and check if his mind is stable or enlightened or not. This really helps many to understand and examine about Dorje Shugden in details with facts and solid information so that they can make conscious decision to practice and get the blessing and protection from Dorje Shugden.
The Dorje Shugden Graphic Novel presents the story and origin of Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden in a very interesting and accessible way so that all who read it can quickly and clearly see him as a very compassionate Enlightened Being whose sole motivation and goal is to bring all beings out of suffering to peace like all Buddhas, including Buddha Shakyamuni, have done and are doing.In all of his previous lifetimes and invariably through every past incarnation before he arose as Protector Dorje Shugden,he made significant and lasting contributions to the spread and preservation of Dharma. This shows very clearly the great compassion and wisdom of his mindstream.
Thus, in keeping with his unwavering goal and motivation lifetime after lifetime, one can see, through reading this graphic novel, that it was natural and spontaneous for him to arise as a Protector for beings of this degenerate age who are in dire need of his help and blessings. As Wisdom and World Peace Protector,and Manjushri’s emanation(as this graphic novel shows clearly), he comes as the Protector of this Kaliyurga age that badly needs the power of the wisdom of the Buddhas to overcome their gross delusions, particularly wrong views.
很難得能用漫畫的方式介紹，用顕淺的畫面，將護法多杰雄登的源頭歷史，闡釋得很清楚，更讓人意外的是有11種語言，世界各地的人群亦可有趣味地獲取資訊。而雄登的主要化身外，亦有4個不同化身，是可針對人們的各樣問題，各自調教，例如瞋心、憎恨、吝嗇、妒忌、過多慾望，護法的修持可以平息各種問題，所以應多硏讀和修持，見証改變的力量。
The graphic novels captures and captivates. It is a very visual form of imparting information without taxing the younger modern generation of instant gratification seekers. A picture paints a thousand words.
Besides, this is also ideal for people who learn better with visuals. And, of course, the narration and dialogue with the different languages does help in reaching a bigger audience.
May more be connected with Dorje Shugden and be blessed.

As we know that Dorje Shugden is a World Peace Dharma Protector and he will aids practitioners in Dharma practices. Dorje Shugden can manifest in four forms others than the main form. DULZIN (the main form), SHIZE( pacify form), WANGZE( control form), TRAKZE (wrathful form) and GYENZE(increase form). He manifest to so many forms to aids practitioners in any obscuration conditions.

I wish Dorje Shugden practices can be accepted widely in Tibet. I also plea to H.H Dalai Lama to bring back harmony to Tibet by lifted Dorje Shugden Ban.

哇， 没想到多杰雄登漫画竟然有11种不同语言的版本！！
我个人非常喜欢这本多杰雄登漫画。 这本漫画清楚说明多杰雄登的由来。 从宗喀巴大师时代的持律主扎巴坚赞如何答应乃琼护法以保护宗喀巴大师的法教， 直到杜固扎巴坚赞如何被暗杀， 然后化身成为多杰雄登护法。
知道一位护法的来源非常重要。 这样我们才会对一位护法更有信心。
而且拥有11种不同语言的版本可以让更多人了解这本漫画。
谢谢
