Kawang: A Dorje Shugden Confessional Practice
(By Tsem Rinpoche and Pastor David Lai)
To the casual observer, Dharma Protector practices may simply appear to be exotic liturgies meant to fulfil wishes. In reality however, these practices bring a tremendous variety of benefits to practitioners and, by all written accounts, they originated and descended from the greatest of Buddhist masters.
Just as was the case with ancient practitioners, the role and function of a Dharma Protector remains that of removing obstacles and creating favourable conditions in the mental constituents and physical environments of modern practitioners. The purpose is so that one’s Dharma practice can grow and flourish, leading to higher states of spiritual attainment. The liturgy of Dharma Protector practice is called ‘kangso’ and it is broken up into several parts including the invocation, praise, kawang, serkyem offering, mantra recitation, enthronement and dedication.
The kawang liturgy is a confessional practice in which the practitioner engages in a specific visualisation meant to purify tremendous amounts of negative karma. Before delving into the technicalities of the kawang contemplation, we first need to have an understanding of karma.
The Law of Causality
Contrary to popular thought, the doctrine of karma was not an original concept taught by the Buddha. The Buddha actually taught karma, or the law of cause and effect, based on pre-existing concepts and his own observations, similar to how Isaac Newton discovered gravity by observing the effect that gravity had on an apple falling from a tree.
Karma is an ancient Sanskrit word that literally means ‘action’ and this refers to the actions or deeds of our body, speech and mind. On the other hand, the effect of karma is called vipaka or ‘the ripening or maturation of karma’, which comes back to us through the results that we experience.
There are many factors that determine the consequences of each action. The most important of these factors is our intent for each particular action we take. This intent or ‘motivation’ behind our actions is a subject much discussed in Buddhist teachings. When correctly understood, it is the key to turning our lives around. Our intent also determines whether our actions are going to result in positive or negative experiences, and whether it adds to our store of merits necessary for the attainment of Enlightenment.
At this point, it is important to understand the distinction between karma and merit. Karma is the result of ordinary negative or positive actions that arise from the self-cherishing mind, and are motivated directly or indirectly towards our own benefit. As a result, karma is finite and can eventually be exhausted (consumed) or purified. On the other hand, merits are virtuous actions that are dedicated with a selfless intent towards the attainment of Enlightenment, for ourselves and other sentient beings.
Therefore, merits cannot be exhausted and will eventually lead us towards Full Enlightenment. Having said that, although merit cannot be exhausted it can be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of our negative karma, thus making it difficult for us to benefit from it. This again goes to show how important purification practices are to prevent our merits from being overwhelmed.
Furthermore, the law of cause and effect (karma-vipaka) has an inextricable link with our previous and future lives. In fact, the accumulation of karma in each life determines our next rebirth (known as throwing karma) and the circumstances of our future lives (known as completing karma). Hence, we can reasonably interpret what our previous lives might have been like by looking at the circumstances of our current life and the interests we pursue. For example, a life of poverty is a direct result of miserliness and to have poor health in this life is due to the harming of other beings in previous lives. Hence, the results always resemble the causes.
Karma also has a strong effect on our minds and the way in which we operate. Unfortunately for us, negative karma multiplies over time due to our predominantly self-cherishing actions. Therefore, people are imbued with all manner of emotional and psychological afflictions such as aggression, greed, depression and so forth. This leads to more confusion and conflict that increases our sense of dissatisfaction and misery. The principal source of our pain and suffering actually stems from the mind and our outlook on life. If we reduce harmful mental factors (e.g. projections, expectations and mental afflictions), peace of mind, contentment and happiness will arise.
Ganze is the offering to the Dharma Protector of his clothes, his ornaments, his implements, his environment and sensory offerings. Everything is offered in this Ganze. The Ganze is drawn and illustrated but that is just for us to visualize as vast as space.
Clearing of Obstacles
At the heart of a Dharma Protector’s kangso, or fulfilment ritual, is the recitation of the kawang liturgy, otherwise known as kangshag. Literally meaning the ‘clearing of obstacles’, this special confessional prayer utilises tantric visualisation combined with recitation in order to tap into Dorje Shugden’s power to significantly purify accumulated negative karma threatening to obstruct our practice.
Corresponding with the amount of obstacles that are to be removed, the kawang visualisation is particularly graphic. Therefore, we should dwell on the real meaning of the contemplation and not on its wrathful and violent description. It also follows that if the negative karma that obstructs our practice is forceful, then the pujas to counter it have to be equally intense.
We approach the recitation of the kawang by visualising our delusions, negative karma, habituations and so forth in the form of a man or a woman. Then, a dakini who is an emanation of Vajrayogini appears, wielding a cemetery knife, to slay the being who is the personification of our negativities. She slices the body in such a way that uncovers the inner organs, after which she makes the seven types of offerings from the remains of the corpse i.e. the wrathful sensory offerings.
The Wrathful Sensory Offerings
1. ARGHAM (drink)
The dakini makes the offering of blood, which is drained into an offering vessel.
On our altars, we offer piping hot tea to represent the blood.
2. PHUPE (flower)
Wrathful flower offering. Click on image to enlarge.
This offering is visualised as the upturned skull, into which is placed the heart. The eyes, ears, nose and tongue are symmetrically arranged on top of this to resemble a gruesome floral arrangement representing the five senses. This is known as the wrathful flower offering.
On our altars, we offer a representation of the wrathful flower.
3. DHUPE (incense)
This offering is visualised as all the bones in the body, save the thighbones, removed and burned by the dakini. The rising smoke is offered as incense.
On our altars, we offer crossed incense sticks to represent the smouldering bones.
4. ALOKE (light)
Next, the dakini removes all the fat from the body to make a butterlamp, complete with a wick, which she then lights.
On our altars, we offer a butterlamp or candle to represent body fat.
5. GYENDE (perfume)
This offering is visualised as the dakini removing all remaining fluids from the body, such as urine, bile, pus, etc., which is then placed in an offering bowl.
On our altars, we offer beer to represent the bodily fluids.
6. NEWIDE (food)
The visualisation continues with the dakini cutting up and placing the flesh of the body into an offering bowl. This is known as the wrathful food offering.
On our altars, we offer a wrathful food torma to represent the flesh.
7. SHAPTA (music)
This offering is made by visualising the remaining thighbones hollowed out and carved into a wind instrument, like a bone trumpet. The sound made is offered up.
On our altars, we offer a spiked conch shell to represent the thighbone trumpet.
We then visualise the dakini making these wrathful offerings to Dorje Shugden on our behalf. In the process, we purify huge amounts of negative karma and accumulate a great store of merits.
Animals such as horses, elephants, frightful yaks, sheep and dogs that can serve as mounts are offered as well to implore swift action. We also offer beautiful objects such as the seven royal emblems and saffron robes, as well as armour, shields, arrows, spears and various types of sharp weapons to Dorje Shugden. Such offerings represent a request to the Protector to come to our aid and fight our negativities, which are responsible for the obstacles and problems that manifest within our lives.
When making the serkym offering, visualize the beverage transforming to divine nectar that expands to fill an entire ocean, which represents all the desirable things in the world that please the five senses.
Aside from the ordinary purification of negative karma, numerous recitations of the kawang are especially recommended for practitioners who are handling large business projects and, in particular, those who are involved in activities that lead to the growth of the Dharma such as the construction of temples, monasteries or Dharma centres.
Recitations of the kawang are also effective to purify heavy bodily karma of those who are going through an ‘obstacle year’ and old age. In addition, kawang is particularly effective for clearing and stabilising the mind when doubts and confusion arise in times of conflict or when one is on the verge of giving up on something virtuous.
Lastly, the kawang is an essential part of a daily sadhana. For instance, a concise Dorje Shugden sadhana would begin with the recitation of Dothey (a praise by H.H. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche), kawang, serkym (golden drink offering) and one mala of Dorje Shugden’s mantra.
In conclusion, the kawang is a powerful Dorje Shugden liturgy essential for the purification of negative karma and to maintain a close spiritual bond with Dorje Shugden. Naturally, the more negative karma is purified, the easier it is for Dorje Shugden to come to our assistance. Since negative karma increases every day, we need to invoke Dorje Shugden to stop it from overwhelming our merits, thereby creating the necessary conditions for our practice to flourish.

The Kawang is a powerful confessional prayer that purifies negative karma that has accumulated from countless previous lifetimes. Well with the correct visualisation, consistently and sincerely during prayers we can purify a tremendous amount of negative karma that will create the obstacles in our lives. I have included these prayers in my daily Sadhana ever since I came to know the many benefits of it. Well explanation and details wrote.
Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands and Pastor David for this great sharing.
A beneficial practice to do in our daily Sadhana which I truly love it. I have been doing this Kawang practice daily without miss. It helps to clear our obstacles and purify our karma with the correct visualization. By purifying our karmas as our merits increase as well. When done consistently, kawang practice will remove obstacles that threaten our Dharma practice. It also create conducive conditions both externally as material necessities and physical health, and internally within our mind. Amazing benefits indeed one should not miss. All thanks to Rinpoche to be here in Malaysia.
Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for sharing this post for readers to know better.
Kawang practise is very effective in clearing our obstacles and purify our karma. When we do this practice with visualization offering our body parts up to the Buddhas will be more effective. It’s very beneficial for us as it clears our obstacles and helps to collect merit by purifying our karmas.
Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this post with details for us to understand better.
Hi. Can Kawang be recited without wrathful offerings in front of our altar & without having to visualize it?
The kawang confessional practice is a practice where we engage in a specific visualisation where we could purify tremendous amounts of negative karma. It should not be taken lightly as this kawang practice is an essential part of a daily sadhana and to maintain a close spiritual connection with Dorje Shugden. As the more negative karma been purified, it will be easier for Dorje Shugden to come to assist us in our spiritual practice. Since negative karma increases each day, we need to invoke Dorje Shugden to create the necessary conditions for our practice to flourish. Interesting read, one should not miss.
Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David Lai for sharing this practice and explaining with details.
Well its truly a very effective practice and should be included in our daily sahdana. A effective way to purify our negative karma, which has accumulated over the years. With the proper practice and visualization we could transform what is negative and turning them into sublime offerings. It will then allow Dorje Shugden to help us further through the creation of conducive conditions for Dharma practice and the elimination of obstacles.
Thanks Rinpoche and Pastor David for this well explained sharing.
Mantras are sacred verbalized words that invoke the protection and blessings of the deity to whom the mantra is ascribed. Mantras are also the manifestations of Buddhas in the form of ‘sounds’, hence the various mantras of Dorje Shugden contain the essence of the Protector.

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.

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.

For the first time available, Dorje Shugden and his entourage of 32 asssistants of his mandala.
Dorje Shugden is a powerful protector deity who is also an emanation of Manjushri, a wisdom bestowing Buddha. Therefore, he has great ability to help us to progress further on the spiritual path. He does this by helping us to overcome obstacles and problems for the modern individual.
Due to his enlightened nature, Dorje Shugden is able to manifest 32 deities and within the same abode resides Setrap and Kache Marpo:-
1. 5 Dorje Shugden families or emanations. They consists of the following:-
– Dulzin Dorje Shugden, which performs activities to eliminate inner and outer obstacles.
– Shize, which performs activities to pacify all illnesses and disease.
– Gyenze, which performs activities to increase all desirable material and spiritual wealth.
– Wangze, which performs activities to control difficult people and circumstances.
– Trakze, which performs activities to wrathfully eliminate all insurmountable obstacles and life-threatening situations.
2. 9 Mothers. They represent protection of the five senses and developing control of the four elements. These are all attributes that signify their ability to assist tantric practitioners with their higher meditations.
3. 8 Guiding Monks. They represent the Eight Great Bodhisattvas (Avalokitesvara, Manjushri, Vajrapani, Samantabhadra, Maitreya, Kshitigarbha, Akashagarbha, Sarva-nivarana-viskambini) and they bring about the growth of the Dharma, through the Sangha, Dharma practitioners and Dharma establishments.
4. 10 Youthful & Wrathful Attendants. They represent the ten wrathful attendants to avert inner and outer obstacles. They are beings who are from Mongolia, China, Kashmir, India, Bengali, etc.
5. Setrap. He is a senior Dharma Protector from India and an emanation of Amitabha Buddha. He had enthroned Dorje Shugden as an authentic Dharma Protector. Therefore, he also resides within the same mandala of Dorje Shugden.
6. Kache Marpo. He is not an emanation of Dorje Shugden but he is still an enlightened Dharma Protector in his own right. He was originally known as Tsiu Marpo of Samye Monastery. However, he has placed himself under the service of Dorje Shugden as his chief minister, performing many activities in order to protect and benefit practitioners. Therefore, he stands guard at the main entrance of Dorje Shugden’s mandala. He often takes trance of qualified mediums to speak.
7. Namkar Barzin. He is the reincarnation of an old Mongolian monk and when he passed away in Phari area of Tibet, his spirit was placed as a powerful assistant of Dorje Shugden. He guards and protects buildings and great institutions especially those that benefit others. He rides on a mythical Gyaling animal that resembles a goat but with scales.
These sacred images are available on *Vajrasecrets. They are made of high quality alloy and are one of a kind. They are based on the lineage of His Holiness Panchen Rinpoche’s monastery, Tashilhunpo in Shigatse, Tibet. In fact, the iconography of these statues are based on detailed photographs taken by H. E. Tsem Rinpoche during a trip to Tashilhunpo’s protector chapel. These are based exactly as the 10th Panchen Lama’s personal collection.

His Holiness the 10th Panchen Lama
Tibetans commonly refer to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and His Holiness 10th Panchen Lama as the “sun and moon” of Tibetan Buddhism. They are the center of Tibetan Buddhist civilization, which draws to its sphere of influence millions of non-Tibetan practitioners. The Panchen Lama’s incarnation line began with the 16th abbot of Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, Lobsang Chokyi Gyeltsen (1570 – 1662). He was bestowed the title of Panchen Lama by His Holiness the 5th Dalai Lama after being declared as an emanation of Amitabha.
After being given the title, his three previous incarnations were posthumously also bestowed the title, making Lobsang Chokyi Gyeltsen the 4th Panchen Lama. He became a teacher to many Tibetans, Bhutanese and Mongolian religious figures, including His Holiness the 4th and 5th Dalai Lamas, and the 1st Jetsun Dampa of Mongolia. A prolific author, Chokyi Gyeltsen is credited with over a hundred compositions, including a number of commentaries and ritual texts that remain central in the Gelukpa tradition today. Along with his role as a teacher of the Dharma, the Panchen Lamas are usually responsible for the recognition of the rebirths of the Dalai Lamas, and vice versa.
The 10th Panchen Lama, Lobsang Trinley Lhundrub Chokyi Gyeltsen (19 February 1938 – 28 January 1989) continued both the spiritual and political roles of his predecessors. His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, his contemporary, was even heard to say and echo the Panchen Lama’s own words that the Dalai Lama would safeguard Tibet from the outside while the Panchen Lama would safeguard Tibet from the inside, as he never left Tibet after the political troubles of 1959. He was truly loved by the Tibetans, all the way until his passing. When he taught, thousands of people would attend, not only from his own Gelug lineage, but masters and practitioners from all traditions of Tibetan Buddhism.
At his sprawling monastery of Tashi Lhunpo, he has a special chapel specifically dedicated to Dorje Shugden, where prayers and rituals are performed on a daily basis. In his great omniscience the Panchen Lama held Dorje Shugden as the principal Dharma protector of the monastery. He also personally propitiated Dorje Shugden among other Dharma protectors, and even wrote extensive prayers and rituals to Dorje Shugden. These rituals and prayers are contained within his ‘sung bum’ or collected works, which are provided here. As such a great lama, with an erudite and clear understanding of the Buddhist scriptures, a teacher to millions in both Tibet and China, from an established incarnation line and an emanation of the Buddha Amitabha, he could not be mistaken about his practice of Dorje Shugden.
His Holiness 10th Panchen Lama is known for his composition of commentaries and practice texts that are still in use by contemporary Buddhist practitioners both in Tibet and across the world. One of these is a powerful ritual composition propitiating the compassionate Dorje Shugden.
Upon the request by Acharya Lobsang Jangchub to compose a shorter version of the prayer (sadhana) for the exhortation of activities of Dorje Shugden, Panchen Lama immediately composed an abbreviate form of Dorje Shugden’s Kangsol. This text is entitled “Manjunatha’s (Tsongkapa) Lineage protector Dorje Shugden and five forms wrathful propitiations and confessional prayers and fulfilment of activities rites” or “Melodious sound of Accomplishment of the Four Activities” for short. Once the prayers were completed, he had signs and strong feelings that Dorje Shugden has been working hard to protect the Buddhadharma in general and the lineage of Lama Tsongkhapa specifically.
Mirroring the abilities of one of his earlier incarnations, Khedrub Je, a disciple of Lama Tsongkhapa and master of both sutra and tantra, the Panchen Lama used his compositional skill and poetic prowess to create a masterful sadhana. Worthy of note is a praise in which the first letter of each verse is a Tibetan vowel. Such compositions are rarely seen, and have historically only been used when propitiating senior Dharma protectors such as Palden Lhamo and Kalarupa.
The Panchen Lama also stated that while composing the Dorje Shugden sadhana (prayers) he was filled with a sense of happiness and bliss. He ends the composition with not only his official title but his ordination name, Tenzin Trinley Jigme Choje Wangchuk, endorsing the validity of his work. He composed the sadhana in his own Tashi Lhunpo monastery while in the Hall of Clear Light and Bliss.

“If the Dalai Lama, if His Holiness the Dalai Lama can be harmed by Dorje Shugden, then we might as well not practice Buddhism anymore. If His Holiness the Dalai Lama can have his life shortened by a so-called evil spirit, any evil spirit, then can he be Avalokiteshvara? So on one hand you say, we say, I say, everybody says, he is Avalokiteshvara; on the other hand you’re saying that he can be harmed by an evil spirit… Which one is it? Can he be harmed by an evil spirit or is he Avalokiteshvara? Do you think Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri, Vajrapani, Tara all take refuge in something else to protect themselves from Dorje Shugden? How illogical is that? How illogical of people to say His Holiness the Dalai Lama can be harmed by an evil spirit, any evil spirit or “Dorje Shugden” evil spirit. How is that possible?” – Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

This video condensed and made simple the history of the Dorje Shugden ban and the sufferings Dorje Shugden people experienced and continue to experience for 20 years. The video also laid out and reveal the truth and facts that Dorje Shugden was the Protector who advised His Holiness the Dalai Lama to flee to India and hence His Holiness’ life is saved. There is no religious freedom for the Dorje Shugden people worldwide because of the Dorje Shugden ban executed by the Central Tibetan Administration. We are, until today being discriminated and persecuted for simply practising our choice of religion and this is the truth.

Recitation of Kawang is a visualization by offering of our body parts to the Buddha. When we offer it to Buddha it means we are letting go our senses and attachment. Kawang practise is very effective in clearing our obstacles and purify our karma so we can have a smooth dharma practise. Thank you Pastor David for sharing the Kawang practise.
The Kawang’s visualisation is using our body parts and offering it up to the Buddhas. First, it is to help us cut attachment to our 5 senses, and to our physical bodies. The second is for us to visualise our bodies, as a vehicle, for us to collect merit by purifying our karmas.
The Kawang is extremely good for helping us control our minds from thinking negatively on our spiritual path. Our negative karmas when ripen, tend to take and pull us away from virtuous activities, so the Kawang is there to counter this, to counter and purify these karmas, so that our obstacles are clear and our minds remain steadfast in our spiritual practice.
I remember Rinpoche advised us before to always do the Kawang, and if we are facing more obstacles, at least 7 or 21 times. It’s extremely beneficial for us.
Kawang is a very effective practice to purify our karma, and it is a practice that has been relied upon by Dorje Shugden practitioners for hundreds of years.
As what is mentioned in the article, to purify a serious and extreme karma, equally wrathful measures is also necessary in order for the karma to be purified.
Dharma Protector practice especially Kawang prayer is very powerful to purify our negative karma that accumulated since our countless past lifetimes. If this karma is not purified, it can manifest as obstacles to our Dharma practice and can hinder our spiritual progress. When we practice diligently, Kawang prayer is very effective to clear and stabilise the mind when doubts and confusion arise. Eventually, we will achieve the ultimate happiness of full enlightenment and no longer need any dharma protector.
Thank you Rinpoche for your kindness and compassion to give us this practice to liberate us from suffering and toward enlightenment.
感谢讲法师与仁波切您们的教诲，
佛法相信因果与轮回，而普贤菩萨“十大愿王”，的 第四愿是“忏悔业障”。我们每个人都不知道我们经历了多少无数的轮回转世。我们都不清楚我们在无数次的转世中，种下了什么的业，而在佛教中，有很多的忏悔法门，比如说地藏菩萨忏愿，三十五佛忏，八十八佛大忏悔，金刚萨垛忏悔法门等等。
而多杰雄登护法，是智慧佛文殊菩萨的化身，也是我们这个时代的护法，感谢仁波切给予我们这个修持法，感谢讲法师为我们讲解关于多杰杰雄登酬供-忏悔法门的观想与意思等，多杰雄登酬供-忏悔法门能够更快速的消除我们恶业，所以在我们的恶业还没有结出果时，我们应该要多念诵多杰雄登酬供-忏悔法门，或是我们也可以回向给我们的家人与朋友。
谢谢

Thank you very much Rinpoche and Pastor David for this beneficial explaination for purification practice. I have experienced the effects of purification after doing 1 mala of Dorje Shugden Kawang. It is really good and effective!????
There are three purification practices and Kawang is one of them, most suitable to purify heavy bodily karma as well as clearing and stabilising the mind when doubts or confusion arise in times of conflict or when one is on the verge of giving up on something virtuous. From the sharing by Pastor David, the key to this practice is consistency. Doing the kawang prayer as part of our daily sadhana is akin to building up a strong bond with Dorje Shugden, hence, able to invoke his blessing more effectively.
Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this concise and informative article which allows for deeper familiarisation of this beneficial practice. Considering that we are constantly generating karma, more likely negative karma, with every single action of ours, it would definitely serve us well to do kawang daily. It is also interesting to note that in addition to the purification effect when done properly, it also aids in (i) mending samaya and (ii) further allows for creation of a conducive environment one’s Dharma practice to flourish and grow. As with every spiritual practice, consistency is key and crucial in order to really reap the benefit of this practice. Thank you Rinpoche for making this practice available for us and we are indeed very blessed to given this opportunity of a lifetime.
Thanks Rinpoche and Pastor David for this well explained post.
Motivation defines whether our actions generate good karma, neutral karma, bad karma or merits. The hardest part is even we thought our actions arise from “good” motivation, it doesn’t mean that it’s good. Our untamed mind is making our actions arise from our own preferences whether we know it or not.
So let’s imagine every action we does arise from of selfish mind in one way or another, and it’s not always good, the amount of negative karma we collect every day is huge and when it multiplies, it’s a super huge amount that will make us stuck in suffering forever.
Kawang and other confessional practices are something powerful to lessen the amount from snowballing more, it’s like a light at the end of the tunnel.
I feel grateful that we have the good karma to practise this and may more people benefitted from it.
Thank you.
Thank you Pastor David for sharing in details on this important part of protector practice ie Kawang as well as what is karma and how we are constantly creating karma daily due to our greed, anger, dilution and self-grasping mind. So it is very important to do Kawang as the confessional practice to clear our obstacles. Besides, i also learned about Ganze – the offering to the Dharma Protector of his clothes, his ornaments, his implements, his environment and sensory offerings.
Rinpoche earlier also advised (especially us who do Dharma work or people who are doing to do a huge project) to do seven times Kawang daily so that it will help us to clear obstacles as well as to control our mind. I normally do more Kawang when I feel that my mind is not so strong, and it really helps me to get through all the doubts and support me in my spiritual journey.
The following are links for teaching videos on Kawang:

Thank you!
Kawang prayer of Dorje Shugden becoming more effective to clearing obstacle, especially in dharma degenerate time. People have affinity with Dorje Shugden doing his practice will see the result how effective in their spiritual journey. Protector Kangso contain of 7 limb prayer make the whole protector practice not just removing outer and inner obstacle of practitioner. It also help cumalating merit to purify negative karma. Although kawang prayer is part of the protector kangso. Is very important to understand for beginner to this practice to apply four opponent power, make confession through protector to purify our negative karma.
“Corresponding with the amount of obstacles that are to be removed, the kawang visualisation is particularly graphic. Therefore, we should dwell on the real meaning of the contemplation and not on its wrathful and violent description. It also follows that if the negative karma that obstructs our practice is forceful, then the pujas to counter it have to be equally intense.”
It’s extremely important to do researches and ask questions(ASK THE KECHARA PASTORS) when we have doubts. The reason for the prayers to be wrathful & violent are making sense, it’s because of our negative karma that we should use something that are equal or higher intensity to encounter it. If not how can it be successful?
When we read these prayers carefully, we will know it’s just for the sake to purify our negative karmas and it’s NOT like we offer our “precious bodies” to the demon who eat human meat and drink our blood..??
Kawang is a very powerful prayers to purify our negative karma and to help us overcome obstacles. Especially DS Kawang, because DS is manifested to suit today’s people, he has the strongest affinity with us, so whenever we practice DS Kawang, we can see the result very fast, I have been told by many people that DS is very effective and many times, the result will come within days or weeks. It is very important for us to practice DS daily Sadhana and Kawang everyday.
Kawang is a very powerful practice and together with the 7 limp prayer, Migtsema and the Dorje Shugden mantra it is very effective to clear our obstacles. Many have told during our discussion with the KFR Team tonight, that the Dorje Shugden Kawang is very swift to help.
It is very important to do the practice together with the 4 opponent powers:
– Taking Refuge and Generating Bodhicitta,
– Power of Regret,
– Power of Remedy, Mantra Recitation
– Power of Restraint, Promise not to commit negativities again
There is also a Dorje Shugden Teaching Video with the explanations to Kawang among other teachings: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/?p=66785
Thank you,
修护法法门一定要把Kawang这个部分修好，Kawang 是一个十分重要的忏悔法门，对我们的修行有很大的帮助。念诵 Kawang 的利益不仅是可以净化我们恶业，还是与多杰雄登进一步结缘的方式，祈请护法制造有益于我们修行的条件，Kawang的修持能去除”我执“，破除“我执”是修行的一个目标，当“我执”去除的时候，潜在的智慧自然就显现出来了，就能成为有大智慧的人。
Ever since I started to join Kechara and started practicing Tibetan Buddhism, I find that Tibetan Buddhism has got the most beautiful and complete prayer. From invocation until dedication, the whole prayer wrap up everything. So perfect and so logic. Thank you Pastor David and Rinpoche for the clear explanation of Kawang and the visualization. Yes, as a human and as long as we are in samsara, we collect negative karma everyday, Kawang can purify our negative karma, and let go our ego. I like the part when Vajrayogini cut off our body and separate it into few parts, our blood to be argham. Nose, eyes, heart, skeleton, ears to be phupe. Our bones to be burn and become dhupe. Our body fat become aloke. The rest of the fuild of the body become gyende. Our flesh become newide. And our thigh bone become shapta. It is so beautiful and perfectly segregate all our body parts to offer to the Protector. When we fully visualize this, it can fully cut down our ego.
Thank you Pastor David for the detailed explanation about Dorje Shugden’s kawang practice. It is indeed a powerful and a practice that we need to do as we are still in samsara and we still have a lot negative karmas and obstacles to clear in order for us to progress in our spiritual path.
Thank you for the explanations above. The above are really beneficial for many especially those who are new and want to understand better.
I personally believe that the kawang is really effective and powerful to clear obstacles especially for our spiritual path. And not only that, we also create a closer connection to our protector. And it can be done in a short time. Perfect for those who are always chasing for time.
A very informative article to me as I have been wondering the meanings of those wrathful sensory offerings and the importance of kawang recitation. In this article, the kawang mentioned was for the protector and as it is new to me, I think is a good start for me.
Thank you Rinpoche and PDL for sharing this interesting article. ???
I always gave advice to KP customers who face a lot of obstacles and difficulties in their living life to do Kawang, Serkym Offering and Chant DS Mantra, for those who are new or just join in and started to learn about DS practice.
Normally i’ll shared with new customers ( beginner ) to do Minimum 3 times of kawang, 21 times of serkym (golden drink offering) and one mala of Dorje Shugden’s mantra. Of course my motivation that’s want all of them ( Newbie Customers ) to settle their obstacles and difficuties in life.
I don’t have much knowledge in Dharma ( still learning and practice ), and i’ll try all my nest to share with all of the ( Newbie ) customers in KP. And also promote DS to all of them too.
Many people may feel uneasy when they read the Kawang liturgy as it mentioned on draining blood, pulling bones and flesh and etc. that make people feel gruesome. One should not just turn around by that instead should learn to understand what are those all about and how it can help us. This is a special confessional prayer which is based on tantric visualisations, the recitation of which is to purify what may be significant accumulated negative karma threatening to obstruct one’s practice. Given the amount of obstacles that need to be removed, the actual visualisation becomes very graphic. A practitioner should dwell on its true meaning and not on its apparently aggressive language.
I feel grateful and lucky that in Kechara under H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche guidance we are given the method to overcome our problem with knowledge and understanding. This make us not just doing it blindly but to make us do our practice with proper understanding and meaningful.
This is such a powerful and beneficial practice to engage in, to purify tons of karma collected over countless lifetimes. It really is very good to recite the Kawang daily or regularly to clear self-caused obstacles and negativities that are lurking around the corner, waiting to strike at us. It does not take long just to read the Kawang and when recited daily/regularly, it would be committed to memory. It costs nothing, just time well spent.
Sometimes we hear people say they need help on their problems but help never really forthcoming. I feel that is where their real obstacles are. In actual fact, in order to be helped by like for example Dorje Shugden, we really needed more merits / lessen our negative karma in order to enable help. It is not because Protectors are not powerful but it is because of our own negative karma that is preventing us from being helped. Thank you Pastor David for the clear explanation on this particular subject and why Kawang is important to us and best included in our daily practice.
Before learning dharma properly, every time when I get into trouble I will either go to the temple to pray hard or to blame why I get this karma. After learning dharma from H.E Tsem Rinpoche, I understand that myself have created a lot of karma, thus, I need to be responsible for my own doings. But, Dorje Shugden is so compassion, he helps us in dealing our karma, he helps us to lower the suffering of our self create karma. I experience the effect of Kawang. Kawang prayers have really helps me and friend to overcome daily obstacles effectively , from Mental karma to body karma. Thus I strongly recommended kawang for many of my friends. It works to get daily life more smoother and I can overcome my obstacles with more positive mindset.
Having known that the Dorje Shugden Kawang practice is very powerful and beneficial for us to purify our negative karma and having to maintain a closer bond with Dorje Shugden. I have seen started added the Kawang and Serkym in my daily Sadhana.
Without realising many of us has accumulated all negative karma daily in long run, hence it is good for us to Kawang practice daily to purify it
Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for sharing these article to have a better understanding of these practice..
I remember those year i was first read the Kawang felt very uneasy because of those kind of blood, flesh, bone offerings. I just wonder why Buddha want these kind of offerings. It was sound funny to me. I understand from a senior Kecharian these kind of offerings can cut down our attachment. Therefore these kind of offerings become precious and powerful.
We have a bundles of attachment just to satisfy our sensory. Kawang practice can effective and fast to remove obstacles in our spiritual path. Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David sharing this practice as a reminder to all.
Thank You Rinpoche and Pastor David Lai for sharing such precious and powerful Dorje Shugden Kawang practice to us. I have followed advice from Pastors to add Kawang and Serkym on my sadhana. I found I am more peaceful after reciting Kawang for 7 times. It does make sense to me that the negative karma we are creating daily will block us from receiving the precious Dharma and practicing Dharma. Please seize this opportunity in millions years for being born in perfect human form and being closed to Guru and able to practice powerful Dorje Shugden praying. Honestly, I feel blessed.
The Kawang which also known as the Kangshag is a confessional prayer that purifies negative karma accumulated from countless previous lifetimes. We tend to create more negative karma because of our self-grasping mind. If bad karma is left not purifies, it can manifest as obstacles to our dharma practice.
It is recommended to recite the Kawang prayer minimum of 7 times during our daily sadhana. Rinpoche also recommended to do Kawang when we involved in large projects that support the growth of the Dharma.
谢谢仁波切和黎国圆讲法师的分享。 这里详细的解释了酬供里的观想。
在佛教中有很多种忏悔法来消除我们的恶业， 从而减少我们恶业果报成熟时对我们的冲击。 其中非常为人所知的忏悔法就有35佛忏和金刚萨埵百字明咒。 多杰雄登的酬供也是可以消除我们的恶业， 而且非常殊胜和有效。
在2015年当第七任庞龙神谕来到马来西亚进行多杰雄登降神仪式的时候， 多杰雄登的大臣
喀切玛波在佛法开示中就有提到， 我们身体会因为恶业的关系让我们得到很多病痛。 通过恒心修持忏悔法门， 包括多杰雄登的酬供都可以消除我们的恶业， 让我们的身体痊愈。
我记得仁波切也曾经说过， 当我们对我们的上师有邪见的时候， 我们可以通过修习多杰雄登酬供来对治。 要念多少遍呢？ 一直持续念诵， 直到我们对上师的邪念消失为止。 根据上师五十颂所说， 我们所有修行上的成就都是源自于我们对上师的信心和三昧耶。 如对上师有邪见， 我们不只是修行上无法得到成就， 而且还会创造非常多的恶业。
可想而知， 多杰雄登酬供是多么的殊胜， 可以对治我们对上师产生的邪念。
这里也附上中文版的多杰雄登酬供 （可以在中文版多杰雄登仪轨–金刚道找到）：

补过酬供
（根据烦恼的程度，念诵三、七或廿一遍）
吽
如恒河流心血阏伽列
灿烂根花熏烟云密布
人胆香水肉骨腿笛声
无漏甘露大海喜纳受
其余妙欲以及七政宝
聪慧马象可畏牦羊犬
袈裟上衣坚固甲胄盾
箭枪利剑外内密所依
以此世间出世间供云
多杰雄登一切傲慢众
愿酬心誓衰败悉还净
尤因我等为无明自在
三门所作过失尽所有
凡与护法心意相违者
一切知罪追悔心忏悔
又于大护法及眷属前
犯三昧耶承事供食等
我等行者所有衰败者
三轮无缘界中悉忏悔
谢谢
Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor Lai for sharing.
We accumulate all kinds of negative karma daily sometime without knowing.
Is good for us to do Kawang daily to purify and clear / reduce whatever obstacles that may come.
Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor Lai for sharing the Kawang practice.
With Kawang practice, we can purified our negative karma and easier for Dorje Shugden to come to assist us.
Kawang prayers are common with all dharma protectors. It helps us develop a very close bond with the protector and helps remove a vast amount of negative karma quickly. It helps the protector come to our aid swiftly. Though the visualization maybe grotesque to some, I have always found the Kawang prayer and visualization relaxing and beneficial as I know deep down that it helps and have full faith that the guru would only provide us with something beneficial and not harmful. This practice provides powerful purification for our body, speech, and mind. We should consider ourselves extremely lucky to be able to encounter a practice that is so beneficial.
We create karma everyday. and lots of negative karma at that. Thus, doing a lot of kawang would help connect us with Dorje Shugden and avail ourselves of his assistance for more than material assistance but for the ultimate objective of our spiritual path and enlightenment, Doing kawang will lessen the negative karma as well – a two in one package, just great for lazy people like.
Thank you, Pastor David for this sharing.
Dear Rinpoche and Pastor David,
In this article, besides being a powerful purification method, I learnt that Kawang is can be recited when one’s mind is in doubt and it’s “to maintain a close spiritual bond with Dorje Shugden.” Thank you Rinpoche
Kecharians are so very fortunate to be given Protector Dorje Shugden practice by our Founder and Guru, H.E the 25th Tsem Rinpoche.
With sincere reverence and prayers to Dorje Shugden as taught by Rinpoche, we can request for smooth journey on our spiritual path. With our daily sadhana, we can request for purification of our negativities of body, speech and mind and protection of our quest not to repeat the same negativities and refrain from any new ideas of negativity.
Personally, reciting the kanshag (kawang) always makes my mind lighter to meet other challenges that come constantly.
Thank you, Rinpoche and Pastor David.
