大护法的主要眷属
致世界各地的朋友们:
借此新博文祝愿你们安好。2009年,我到西藏去,其中一个地点,就是至尊班禅仁波切驻锡地——扎什伦布寺。班禅仁波切在过去的10个转世中都是伟大的大师、学者及瑜伽士,饶益上千上万来自蒙古、中原、西藏、尼泊尔、印度、俄罗斯及西伯利亚的人们。他过去的转世都留下了无数关于历史、密续、禅修、释义、辩证文及哲学的著作。这些著作都收藏于扎什伦布寺中,但也都散布到整个北亚区域了。班禅仁波切在中国及蒙古也有上千名弟子。即便班禅喇嘛是藏传佛教格鲁派的大师,10世班禅喇嘛对佛法的掌握、所展现的神通力及教诲都触动了所有的藏人, 不管他们来自哪个宗派。
当时我参拜了班禅仁波切位于日喀则的驻锡地,扎什伦布寺。在那里,我非常高兴,因为我找到了一座专门供奉多杰雄登及其眷属的护法殿。护法殿中天天有僧侣诵经祈愿,更有上千名朝圣者前来朝拜。9世班禅喇嘛及10世班禅喇嘛的一生都是多杰雄登的伟大修持者。在那次朝圣中能够参拜多杰雄登及其眷属之像我是非常高兴的。于是我照了相,决定在未来也造一大尊多杰雄登及眷属的像。在许多精进的克切拉成员的协助下,我终于完成了这个心愿!
从这段短视频,你会看到我们的成员为多杰雄登眷属之像开光,并且将祂们供奉在克切拉智慧殿的佛坛下方。
这些眷属就包括了:
- 喀切玛波
- 南喀巴津(原有的)
- 八比丘
- 九明妃
- 十勇士
这29位协助是多杰雄登护法的主要眷属。在多杰雄登坛城中,包括多杰雄登的四个主要化身,一共有32位成员。有的人会纳入于80年前才加入眷属成员的南喀巴津,那一共就有33位成员。一般认知还是32位成员。在多杰雄登坛城中,安住在其上方的就是金甲衣护法,金甲衣护法也被称作“Tsangpa”。是的,金甲衣护法与多杰雄登同处一个坛城。安住在金甲衣上层,也是最顶层的,便是阿弥陀佛。多杰雄登殊胜的坛城住的都是伟大的佛菩萨。(到此页下端看多杰雄登坛城图)
我们订购了这些雕刻精巧的眷属像,然后自己上色,放入经文卷。随后再按照传统方式,进行法会开光这些眷属像。请观看那段视频,你会非常开心的。
我给所有的弟子、功德主、志工、职员、朋友们及从开始到结束都参与这项工作的人们送上祝福。祈愿多杰雄登及其眷属殊胜的莅临给我们带来无量加持。多杰雄登传承将弘扬开来,到更远的地方,因为祂饶益众生的时已至。

这就是位于马来西亚的克切拉禅修林的智慧殿。此殿特为世界和平护法多杰雄登而设。
在克切拉,我们有一座特别,名为智慧殿的礼堂。此殿特为世界和平护法多杰雄登而设,地点就在马来西亚文冬州。
为了替佛像开光随后供上佛坛,克切拉的讲法师进行了“soongdroop”及“rabney”(开光加持)法会。克切拉的讲法师们曾向来此拜访的寺院僧人学习按照经典,学习正统的法会仪式。那些寺院来的僧人们在外面这里住好几个月,并且指导克切拉人进行寺院所进行的法会仪式。这是上午时讲法师们为“soongdroop”及“rabney”法会所做的准备。
这尊释迦牟尼佛像在更宽大的大殿竣工前,暂时供奉在这座可容纳700人的大殿内,以加持多杰雄登的传承、修持和仪式。在另一座大殿竣工之后,这尊释迦牟尼佛像将供奉在那里。
在进行了“soongdroop”及“rabney”法会之后,这些眷属像和摆设就保留在这里,直到我们在夜里完成多杰雄登酬供法会(每月一次的法会)为止。智慧殿是我们特为多杰雄登的祈愿、仪式及修持而设的地方。
多杰雄登的眷属——八比丘。八比丘协助多杰雄登的事业,好让佛法能滋长,也帮助增加修行人对心念转化(朗讲)教诲的理解。八比丘加持僧伽众的成立和发展,并且增加会严守三套戒律的修行人(别解脱戒、菩萨戒及密续戒)。
九明妃当中的五位明妃加持我们的五欲(色、声、香、味、触),其余四位则是控制我们身外环境及体内的四大元素(土、风、水和火)。九明妃也给予修行人加持,好让我们能获得密续的修行成就。祂们也在修行人修持的一路上给予吉祥的征兆以鼓励修行人。
十勇士扮演协助多杰雄登在娑婆护持修行人的事业中去除障碍的角色。十勇士身穿中原、西藏、蒙古、克什米尔、印度、尼泊尔等地的服饰,象征祂们就源自这些地方。十勇士在念头转动的瞬间就能穿越无色界、欲界及色界。
这佛坛上摆放了多杰雄登眷属的坛城。佛坛上也供着一尊刚到来的金甲衣护法及两尊喀切玛波像——多杰雄登的主要大臣。
每一个月,我们都会在这尊殊胜的多杰雄登像前进行每月一次的多杰雄登酬供法会。这个月,他们有幸迎请多杰雄登的眷属到大殿内的佛坛上,于是我给他们录了一段话。我想跟他们解释给多杰雄登供养其眷属像的重要性,也顺道跟他们分享我到西藏扎什伦布寺多杰雄登护法殿的所见所闻。那座护法殿内也供着多杰雄登的眷属像。扎什伦布寺是历世班禅喇嘛的驻锡地,而班禅喇嘛在宗教上享有非常高的地位,仅次于嘉瓦仁波切。很多时候当嘉瓦仁波切还未乘愿归来的空隙时间,班禅喇嘛会代嘉瓦仁波切打理宗教事务,并且认证嘉瓦仁波切的转世。
在开始每一次的多杰雄登酬供法会前五名都会念诵马鸣菩萨所著的《上师五十颂》 ,以意念上师们的慈悲。
我们这尊24尺(7.3米)高的多杰雄登像内装有上万亿的佛菩萨圣像、心咒、舍利子、高僧服饰、经文及圣物。每一个月能够在这尊殊胜的护法像前更新我们对雄登的戒誓是非常幸运的一件事。
克切拉佛教中心主席拿督美方代表克切拉佛教团体供上一尊喀切玛波像。喀切玛波是多杰雄登的主要大臣,也是马头明王的化身。祂本身就是证悟者,但也可以化现为佛教护法。有趣的一点是,喀切玛波过去被认作是紫玛护法,是桑耶寺的其中一位护法,桑耶寺即是莲花生大士在藏地所建的第一座寺院。喀切玛波也被称作是紫玛护法而被藏传佛教其他宗派的修行人所供奉。
我的弟子和朋友们代表克切拉全体上下轮流供上多杰雄登32位眷属像。由首席讲法师,郭月谊讲法师领头,接着是克切拉佛教中心主席拿督美方。随后其他讲法师各个供上一尊像,然后轮到董事会成员及资深成员做供养。
多杰雄登的眷属们全数被一一供奉到了世界和平护法多杰雄登的莲座下。

在扎什伦布寺的多杰雄登护法殿内的大祈愿堂。每一天,僧侣们都按照过去班禅喇嘛们的指示,给多杰雄登做大量的供养并进行法会。这个传统依然完好地保存至今。
扎什伦布寺护法殿的多杰雄登像。即使是圆满无误的班禅仁波切也将多杰雄登当成自己的主要护法之一。
至尊9世班禅喇嘛。一位伟大的学者、大师、瑜伽士、作家,他的大量的著作至今依然被沿用。他是多杰雄登法门的中坚修持者。
至尊10世班禅喇嘛。他守在藏地给600万名藏人给他们精神上的支持、佛法、教育和希望。他是多杰雄登法门的忠实修持者。每一天他都给在扎什伦布寺的这位护法神做法会。
班禅喇嘛的“桑本”(著作集),里头有着多杰雄登的祈愿文。这些世界和平护法多杰雄登的祈愿文由至尊10世班禅喇嘛亲自撰写。这些著作集由于非常有名的缘故而在西藏经已被翻印了很多次,寺院中的书店销量也很好。400年来,大多的格鲁派高僧及萨迦派大师都修持多杰雄登护法。若说多杰雄登法门不会带来利益其实是在贬低那些有高智慧,是大学者、大成就者的高僧,如终其一生都在修多杰雄登法门的班禅仁波切。
目录:妙音怙主佛教护法天王金刚具力五部威猛尊酬供仪轨、四业任运成就之乐音(10世班禅喇嘛著)。
我在这里给大家献上一份礼物——这本班禅仁波切的完整著作,其中就包括了多杰雄登的祈愿文(PDF版)。你可以将它们打印出来阅读,跟人们分享。你也可以在打印出来后将之供奉在佛坛上,甚至下载后存入USB隨身碟,再把USB隨身碟放入殊胜的佛塔及佛像内。点击下载班禅喇嘛的著作集

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.

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.

謝謝詹杜固仁波切千里迢迢,去到西藏扎什倫布寺,在歷代班禪喇嘛的駐錫地,親眼目睹多杰雄登護法殿,證明僧侶每天也從無間竭地作修持供養. 班禪喇嘛的佛學修為與歷世的貢獻,是人所共知,他自己也是多杰雄登的修持者,而十世班禪喇嘛的著作也有雄登祈願文,這是不爭的事實,而班禪喇嘛所作的事必定無誤,所以當有人評論多杰雄登修持法有問題,應客觀細心分析,不應人云亦云。而且仁波切更將西藏扎什倫布寺內多杰雄登的眷屬佛像帶來馬來西亞,不用親自往西藏,也同樣得到祂們加持,在這個區域有更多人結緣,成就更大,而在KFR可以將這修持法門多介紹出去,讓更多人得益。
Trode Khangsar Chapel in Lhasa, Tibet
Over 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 Shugden
HUM
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!

“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 harmed by an evil spirit… Which one is it? Can he 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
