In 2014, I had the opportunity to make an offering of a 3-foot Amitayus statue to H.E. Gyara Rinpoche for his good health and long life
(By Tsem Rinpoche)
Dear friends around the world,
I would like to share with you this very exciting news of H.E. Gyara Rinpoche’s recent beneficial activities in his birth place, Yading, Daocheng County of Sichuan Province, China, historically known as the Dabpa region of Kham area of Tibet. In the past month, Gyara Rinpoche has been visiting different villages in Yading, accompanied by a number of monks from Shar Gaden Monastery, to give teachings and share Dharma with the people there.
H.E. Gyara Rinpoche in Yangting Dechen Ling Monastery
Gyara Rinpoche, also known as Lobsang Tenpai Gyaltsen Gelek Kheldup Palsangpo, is an incumbent of Shar Gaden Monastery in India and studied at the feet of H.E. Kyabje Dagom Rinpoche and many other erudite lamas of our time including H.H. the 101st Gaden Trisur Rinpoche Lungrik Namgyal and H.H. Yongyal Rinpoche.
Among the many virtuous activities of his trip, Gyara Rinpoche gave Dorje Shugden’s life entrustment initiation (sogtae) to a few thousand monks and lay people in Yangting Dechen Ling Monastery yesterday!
Yangting Dechen Ling, also known as Shugden Monastery, is thriving under the leadership of its current abbot, Venerable Geshe Tenzin Peljor, and has produced many illustrious and eminent scholar-monks including H.E. Zemey Rinpoche, Venerable Geshe Tendar Rinpoche and H.H. Yongyal Rinpoche.
Thousands of sangha and lay people were present
Daocheng County has a population of 32,450 of which 70%-80% are Dorje Shugden practitioners. There are many Dorje Shugden lamas and geshes in Yading too. Therefore, it is no surprise that through word of mouth, many flocked to attend Gyara Rinpoche’s teachings in Yading.
Note: The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) has on many occasions stressed that Dorje Shugden practitioners are a minority. Looking at the thousands of Tibetans who gathered at Yangting Dechen Ling Monastery, it is not difficult to spot the glaring inaccuracy of the CTA’s claim!
Apart from the Dorje Shugden sogtae, Gyara Rinpoche also gave a few days of Lamrim teachings as well as the Guhyasamaja initiation in Yangding Monastery. Of particular note is the fact that following the sogtae, Gyara Rinpoche took the time to give an excellent commentary on Dorje Shugden’s qualities and history to strengthen the people’s faith in Dorje Shugden through knowledge and understanding.
Gyara Rinpoche’s supporters and Dorje Shugden practitioners gathered for the event
In addition, Gyara Rinpoche gave a logical explanation of the Dorje Shugden controversy and the unlawful ban imposed by the CTA, thus creating much needed awareness of the truth behind the Dorje Shugden issue. This is very important in our struggle to lift the Dorje Shugden ban that has caused so much suffering in the Tibetan exile community and beyond.
I truly and sincerely rejoice that Gyara Rinpoche, a fully qualified Geshe Lharampa, spoke so clearly and fearlessly on this controversial subject, thus making it easy for people to understand the benefits that Dorje Shugden can bestow and why the ban on this practice is undoubtedly wrong. To teach based on logic and history is very effective and it is also how I would do it.
Below is a video of Gyara Rinpoche’s teachings to give you an idea of how many have benefited from this event. Rejoice and make a strong motivation that you too may have the merits to receive teachings from qualified lamas like Gyara Rinpoche in the near future.

2014年，我有机会供养尊贵的嘉若仁波切一尊三尺高的无量寿佛像，祈愿他健康长寿
致全球各地的朋友们：
我想跟大家分享一则令人兴奋的消息：尊贵的嘉若仁波切近期在他的出生地——中国四川省稻城县亚丁地区（旧命为西藏康区稻坝）展开弘法活动。过去的一个月，嘉若仁波切与来自夏甘丹寺的一行僧众访问了亚丁地区的几个村子，为当地人进行开示和分享佛法教诲。
尊贵的嘉若仁波切在阳丁德庆林寺弘法
嘉若仁波切，又名洛桑丹佩坚赞格列克主贝桑波，为来自印度夏甘丹寺的僧人，曾在尊贵的嘉杰扎贡仁波切和许多当代博学大师如至尊第101任甘丹赤苏仁波切龙日南杰和至尊永嘉仁波切座下学习。
他此次稻城之行中的其中一项重要弘法利生活动，就是昨天在阳丁德庆林寺为数千名僧俗群众授予多杰雄登托命灌顶。
在现任住持尊敬的丹增巴觉的领导下，阳丁德庆林寺（又名雄登寺或洋登寺）持续蓬勃发展。该寺曾栽培了许多杰出和著名的学者僧人如尊贵的泽美仁波切、尊敬的格西滇达仁波切和至尊永嘉仁波切等。
稻城县总人口约32,450人，当中约70%至80%为多杰雄登修持者，而亚丁地区本身也有多位多杰雄登上师和格西，在口耳相传之下，许多人涌向亚丁出席嘉若仁波切的开示一点都不令人感到惊讶。
注：藏人行政中央（CTA）多次强调多杰雄登修持者为数甚少。然而，我们只需看看聚集在阳丁德庆林寺的数千名藏人，就可以轻易反驳藏人行政中央的不实言论。
数千名僧俗群众出席了此次盛会
阳丁德庆林寺的大殿挤满了前来聆听嘉若仁波切教诲的僧俗二众
嘉若仁波切此行除了在阳丁寺授予多杰雄登托命灌顶，也传授了长达数天的菩提道次第开示和密集金刚灌顶。值得一提的是嘉若仁波切在授予托命灌顶之后，还特别针对多杰雄登的特点和历史进行了精彩和出色的讲解，让人们能透过知识和了解，对 多杰雄登生起更坚定的信心。
出席此次活动的嘉若仁波切的支持者和多杰雄登修持者
此外，嘉若仁波切还特别针对多杰雄登争议和藏人行政中央实施的不合理禁令，进行了条理分明的解释，让人们多杰雄登问题背后的真相产生多一份醒觉。这份醒觉对解除为流亡藏人群体造成许多痛苦的多杰雄登禁令极为重要。
嘉若仁波切以一位完全合格的拉让巴格西的身份清楚和无惧地讲解这项争议，让人们对修持多杰雄登的好处及禁令的完全不合理之处有更深入的认识，我真心为此感到随喜。根据逻辑和历史来讲解是一种有效的做法，也是我会采取的做法。
以下是嘉若仁波切的开示视频，从中你可以看到许多人从这次的活动中受惠。请为此随喜，并诚心祈愿自己在不久的将来也能拥有殊胜的因缘，能从如同嘉若仁波切这类的具格上师处接受教诲。

Inspiring read of a courage Lama His Eminence Gyara Rinpoche spoke about Dorje Shugden openly and giving Dorje Shugden initiation to thousands at Yading, Daocheng County of Sichuan Province, China. Yading, Daocheng Ling Monastery, also known as Shugden Monastery. The monumental hall at the monastery was built specifically in order to spread and preserve the Pure Je Tsongkhapa Tradition and pure Buddha Dharma in General. An erudite scholar,Gyara Rinpoche received many teachings, instructions, initiations, commentaries and empowerments of both Sutra and Tantra from his main teacher, H E Kyabje Dagom Rinpoche. He also studied under many other highly accomplished masters. Carrying on the tradition of spreading Dorje Shugden’s practice, he travelled extensively giving teachings and explaining about the ban on Dorje Shugden’s practice. Thousands of practitioners were at Yading, Daocheng Ling Monastery listening to his teachings, initiation and so forth. He has been spreading the Dorje Shugden practices to many Tibetans in Tibet during difficult times when there is still a ban of Dorje Shugden. Interesting read.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
Nice to see another great Gelug monastery producing great teachers and scholars from the region of Kham. The Khampas, are warrior like throughout the Tibetan history and remain so The Teachers and Scholars from the Yangting Dechen Ling, are the Dharma warriors, who will spread the buddha dharma far and wide and they are fiercely loyal to Dorje Shugden.
Thank you H.E. Gyara Rinpoche for spreading the Dorje Shugden practices to many thousands Tibetans in Tibet . H.E. Gyara Rinpoche an erudite scholar recently gave Dorje Shugden’s life entrustment initiation to thousands of monks and lay people in Yangting Dechen Ling Monastery. The Tibetan Leadership (CTA) has claimed that Dorje Shugden practice is a minor practice on many occasions. This is not true at all, looking at the pictures tells all. Thousands of Tibetans gathers at Yangting Dechen Ling Monastery, listening to Gyara Rinpoche’s teachings as well as the Guhyasamaja initiation clearly has proven it. He also gave commentary on Dorje Shugden’s qualities, history to strengthen the people’s faith in Dorje Shugden and explaining about the controversy.
Thank you Rinpoche for this great news and may more people have knowledge and understanding of Dorje Shugden . May the ban on it be lifted soon.
It is just great news that Gyara Rinpoche gave Dorje Shugden sogtae and there were so many people that attended the ceremony. With a county that has 70-80% that are Dorje Shugden practitioners shows clearly that Dorje Shugden practice is definitely not a minority practice.? This would definitely inspire faith, hope and contribute to bringing down of the ban.The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) has on many occasions stressed that Dorje Shugden practitioners are a minority. Looking at the thousands of Tibetans who gathered at Yangting Dechen Ling Monastery, it is not difficult to spot the glaring inaccuracy of the CTA’s claim. Thank you Rinpoche and blog team for this auspicious sharing?????

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.

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.

Amazing post!!!!!
Dear friends, For months we have been working on this BEAUTIFUL and meaningful mural in Kathmandu, Nepal. Please click here to enjoy the many stunning pictures of this mural: https://bit.ly/2LgOj8J
Tsem Rinpoche
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.
H.E. Gyara Rinpoche an erudite scholar gave Dorje Shugden’s life entrustment initiation to monks and lay people in Yangting Dechen Ling Monastery. There were thousands of devotees participated this sacred moment. Participants were given commentary on Dorje Shugden’s qualities and history to strengthen their faith and understanding. Not only that, Gyara Rinpoche gave logical explanation to the Dorje Shugden ban to create awareness of the truth behind this unlawful ban. Besides Dorje Shugden sogtae, Gyara Rinpoche gave a few days of Lamrim teachings as well as the Guhyasamaja initiation.
CTA has always comes up with many baseless criticism and allegations that Tibetan people shouldn’t practice Dorje Shugden. CTA also claimed that Dorje Shuden practice is minority but just looking at these amounts of people who came for Gyara Rinpoche’s teachings. These few thousands Dorje Shugden devotees are just part of the people in Daocheng County. This is how ridiculous and inaccurately CTA’s claim.
Great message every Tibetan especially must read!
After over 20 years of anti-Dorje Shugden propaganda, many people are beginning to see past the false rhetoric to see the divine goodness of the Protector. This comment on Rinpoche’s YouTube channel is truly encouraging and signals a change in the people’s understanding and perception of this holy practice-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl-4lIwxph4&t=11s
May Buddhas in ten direction bless H.E Gyara Rinpoche.. So will benefit .
It is inspiring and encouraging to hear this Lama talk about the Dorje Shudgen ban and explained it succinctly. I do hope to hear more about Gyara Rinpoche, may he be another strong voice to lift the Dorje Shugden ban until it lifts.
Rejoice to the thousands of monks and lay people.who was there listening to Gyara Rinpoche,to understand the benefits that Dorje Shugden can bestow and why the ban on this practice is undoubtedly wrong.Its a wonderful news …that someone great giving an explanation ,clearly and fearlessly on this controversial subject.From what i saw from those pictures there quite a numbers of Dorje Shugden practitioners in Daocheng County of Sichuan Province, China.All the teachings based on logic and history is very effective and that is how Rinpoche is doing here in KFR.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this wonderful news.
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!

Tibetan prayer from: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/dorje-shugden/the-14th-dalai-lamas-prayer-to-dorje-shugden.html
This is indeed great news! Am very happy to read that over 2000 monk and lay practitioners had great merits to receive this sacred life entrustment, Lamrim teachings as well as the Guhyasamaja initiation in Yangding Monastery.
I applaud and admire Gyara Rinpoche’s immense courage to speak out about the controversy and his efforts in spreading this beneficial protector practice by giving teachings and explanations to help people understand and gain faith in Dorje Shugden.
While watching the short clip, I could not help but wish that I was actually one of those sitting in the monastery receiving Dorje Shugden sogtae and teachings from an esteemed Lama like Gyara Rinpoche. May we have the good fortune to receive teachings and sogtae from qualified Lamas in the very near future so that we are able to use our body, speech and mind to bring the practice of Dorje Shugden to the world. May we be able to see events such as this in our very own Kechara Forest Retreat soon.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing the article. It is inspiring that to see so many attended the Dorje Shugden Sogtae initiated by Gyara Rinpoche who is a qualified Geshe Llarampa, who studied and mastered the Dharma. Rinpoche also gave Lamrim teachings and even Guhyasamaja initiation and all are welcome. Rinpoche true intention is to spread the Dharma without other agenda. There’s no discrimination on your religion believe.
The only way to generate faith is through knowledge and understanding. When we understand deeper, we know the ban is simply illogical. DS is an enlightened protector special for our lineage, hence practicing DS is very important throughout our spiritual path.
I wish to see more and more high lamas and tulkus will talk about DS openly and more teachings and sogtae will be given more often to benefit more people.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this great news of H.E. Gyara Rinpoche giving DS Sogtae.
Due to the ban, it is not easy for him to spread DS but he is still standing firm and spreading the precious lineage to benefit others. I respect him very much!
I also rejoice that he is giving the Lamrim teachings as well as the Guhyasamaja initiation in Yangding Monastery. Precious!
To give teachings of the Holy Lamrim, initiations of a Highest Yoga Tantra and the Dorje Shugden sogtae; it is only logical that the Protector is what the Lineage Lamas has been saying; that the Protector is Enlightened. Otherwise, it is not logical.
Also, for hundred of thousands of people in one county to be Dorje Shugden devotee, the practice by extension must be huge;…certainly not a minority practice.
I am anticipating bigger things to come….!
感谢仁波切在此分享尊贵的嘉若仁波切在阳丁德庆林寺为大约2千人包括僧人与平民授予多杰雄登托命灌顶，真令人法喜充满。这些出席者从这次的活动中受惠，因为尊贵的嘉若仁波切除了授予多杰雄登托命灌顶，他也传授了长达数天的菩提道次第开示和密集金刚灌顶。更重要的是，嘉若仁波切也向大家讲解有关多杰雄登争议和藏人行政中央实施的不合理禁令。
以目前的状况来看，稻城县总人口当中约70%至80%为多杰雄登修持者.经过这次由尊贵的嘉若仁波切所展开弘法活动尤其是让人民清楚了解对多杰雄登的一切而升起更坚定的信心。希望不久的将来，稻城县所剩下的20%-30%的人口随着真理教诲，继而成为多杰雄登修持者。
再次随喜和诚心祈愿那些已得到多杰雄登托命灌顶的修持者，继续守住自己的诺言，专心修持佛法。同时也祈愿其他还未得到此多杰雄登托命灌顶（包括本人在内）在不久的将来可以从尊贵的上师接受相关的教诲。
谢谢。
Yes, as Rinpoche has said, “Rejoice and make strong motivation that we too may have the merits to receive teachings from qualified Lamas like Gyara Rinpoche in the near future.” H.E. Gyara Rinpoche, an incumbent of Shar Gaden Monastery in India, has studied at the feet of H.E. Kyabje Dagom Rinpoche and many other erudite Lamas of our time, including H.H. the 101st Gaden Tisur Rinpoche Lungrik Namgyal and H.H. Yongyal Rinpoche. It would certainly be greatly meritorious to be able to receive Dharma teachings from H.E. Gyara Rinpoche, especially like those lucky people of Daocheng County in Yading. Even through word of the mouth, many, including Lamas and Geshes, flocked to attend Gyara Rinpoche’s teachings in Yading, on the unlawful Ban of Dorje Shugden. As described and shown through video recordings, Gyara Rinpoche spoke so clearly and fearlessly on this controvesial issue, based on logic and history! It has also been repeatedly voiced out that this Ban has caused so much suffering to the exiled community in Tibet and beyond. May the Ban be lifted swiftly and, may all untruthful information on Dorje Shugden be totally cleared. OM BENZA WIKI BITANA SOHA.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing such great news with all of us here.
It is just great news that Gyara Rinpoche gave Dorje Shugden sogtae and there were so many people that attended the ceremony. With a county that has 70-80% that are Dorje Shugden practitioners shows clearly that Dorje Shugden practice is definitely not a minority practice. It is something that is done by many.
The CTA once again has given false information to make their stand look stronger. However, when people look more into what they are doing, it is evident that these claims that the CTA make are all a form of rumour to continue their harm for Dorje Shugden practitioners.
This is news to be very happy about. The CTA keeps insisting wrongly that Dorje Shugden is a minority practice that has been eradicated. Clearly that is not the case.
One thing to note is how Gyara Rinpoche gave Dorje Shugden life entrustment to the people and along the way, Rinpoche taught them Lamrim and also carried out Guhyasamaja initiations. Wouldn’t it be odd for a Rinpoche to teach the Lamrim, initiate the people into a tantra of the highest class, and at the same time swear them to entrust their lives to a ‘demon’ (as the CTA likes to say Shugden is). It just doesn’t make any sense.
The proof that Dorje Shugden is not a bad practice and is not ‘anti-Dharma’ is the simple fact that it is never taught in isolation of Dharma teachings, but usually together.
I find it extremely encouraging that lamas like Gyara Rinpoche are beginning to talk about the Dorje Shugden controversy. To me, it is a sign that soon the people of the world will see the conflict not from the perspective of propaganda, but with logic as the basis.
Thank you Rinpoche for the sharing.
Many flocked to attend and receive teachings and DS sogtae from Gyara Rinpoche in Yading had indicated that Dorje Shugden practice are popular and beneficial to the practitioners. They have faith with Dorje Shugden.
This also proof that CTA’s claim where DS practitioners is only practise by minority people are incorrect.
In order to relief the suffering of DS practitioners, It is important for us to learn and creative much needed awareness on the truth behind DS issue. We must share this information with others so that they have knowledge on the truth story of this unlawful ban and thus will not be affected by incorrect claim from CTA
Thank you

Such a joyous news to read, that Dorje Shugden’s practice is so widely accepted in places where the ban is not implemented and where people are not policing over your spiritual practice. The fact that Dorje Shugden’s practice is growing is a clear sign of the benefits of his practice, and this truth cannot be hidden by those who wish to suppress the practice.
I had the fortune to meet Gyara Rinpoche a few years back. Rinpoche is a very nice, friendly and humble monk. You wouldn’t be able to tell him apart from the regularly monk walking down the street, and yet he is a Rinpoche and a learnt Geshe/scholar… that’s how humble he is. To see Gyara Rinpoche giving such a massive teaching in what looks like an unplanned event, and giving initiation of Dorje Shugden to thousands of people, is just amazing. It shows that the people in the area are ever ready to receive teachings and it was as if they’d drop everything to attend the teachings. I hope one day, Malaysians too will have this attitude ingrained within us.
May lamas like Gyara Rinpoche will continue to have great influence so that they may disperse the Dharma effectively.
Dear Rinpoche,
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful and logical view on the DS ban. It is now very clear that DS practice is spreading and will continue to spread as He is a fully Enlightened Dharma Protector and that he is so suitable for today’s degenerate age.
I appreciate very much for Rinpoche introducing this practice to us all in Malaysia. My family and I have personally experience so much help and protection from DS that words just cannot express His Compassion for us in samsra and His methods and ways of helping us in our Dharma practice.
Thank you Rinpoche
Om Benza Wiki Bitana Soha.
Lum Kok Luen
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this fantastic news with us.
This shows clearly that Dorje Shugden practice are here to stay. To be able to attract over 2000 people for the Dorje Shugden’s sogtae proves again that they have complete faith and trust in DS even though the controversy. This is not a small minority as claim by the CTA.
I hope the Ban to be lifted as soon as possible and we are able to receive this pervious sogtae from our Guru as well.
Jill Yam
Wow! I rejoice for the spread of the Dharma and especially that of our lineage. I have never met this rinpoche but he does sound knowledgeable and he is young, able bodied and looks like he would be spread the Dharma far and wide. I especially like the way Gyara Rinpoche had chosen to explain about Dorje Shugden, his lineage, background and especially about the ban logically and soundly to everyone. This would definitely inspire faith, hope and contribute to bringing down of the ban.
Rejoice to the thousands of monks and lay people in Yangting Dechen Ling Monastery on receiving Dorje Shugden’s life entrustment initiation (sogtae)bestowed by H.E.Gyara Rinpoche.
As seventy to eighty percent of the population Daocheng County are Dorje Shugden practitioners, The Central Tibetan Government’s claims that Dorje Shugden’s practitioners are a minority is clearly inaccurate! It illogical to ban such precious practice that have benefited many. May this unlawful ban be lifted soon. Thank you Rinpoche,for sharing this exciting news with us.
嘉若仁波切在阳丁德庆林寺为当地的僧俗群众开示佛法及授予多杰雄登托命灌顶．对当地人有此福報，随喜！
要接受此灌顶，要有一颗很纯净，利他，慈悲，100%依止上师的心。这样当别人诽镑这个修持时，我们才不会信心动摇，而会堅持到底，在这个地方，约 80% 为多杰雄登修持者，而与 (CTA）所说的修持者少完全是两回事，也凸顯 (CTA) 别有居心。
可見禁止修持多杰雄登從一开始就是錯，是違反人權，漠视他人的宗教信仰自由，致达赖法王，我们一定会堅持到底，直到禁令解放之时。
Dear Rinpoche,
Thank you for sharing this with us. This clearly shows that many people still have faith in Dorje Shugden and still practising him. This songtae initiation can attract over 2000 people to show up to receive the initiation is a solid proof that there are alot of Dorje Shugden practitioners out there. We are certainly not in small numbers and certainly Dorje Shugden practice is not dying out.
The only reason why so many people still practising Dorje Shugden despite of the ban imposed by the Dalai Lama is because they truly felt the benefit of the practice. Who would be so foolish to keep practising something that harmed them? They had such strong faith to Dorje Shugden because they themselves had practised it and experienced the benefit that it brings.
Humbly,
Chris Chong
为什么要有多杰雄登护法禁令，到底多杰雄登禁令有什么作用。
在世界各国都有好多人在修多杰雄登法门，
在稻城县，总人口约32，450人，就有70%到80%是修多杰雄登。所以这就证明修多杰雄登法门是好的，会为我们带来和谐社会，帮助需要帮助的众生。
你可以不修多杰雄登，但是却不可以阻止他人修多杰雄登。
每个人都有权力选择，喜欢修持法门。不是你们说多杰雄登是邪灵。就是邪灵，我们要分清楚事实的真相，不要只听一方面说。我们必须了解真相。
大德高僧都有修持多杰雄登。难道他们是错的吗？
如果他们是在修持邪灵，为什么可以一而再传世会来。
这就证明多杰雄登是证悟的护法。
修持多杰雄登不会受到伤害，因为证悟的护法是不伤害众生。护法是慈悲，为众生默默的付出。
只要有众生痛苦的地方，多杰雄登护法就会帮助。让众生可以早日离苦得乐。
请尽早解除多杰雄登禁令，
让修持多杰雄登者，有个公平的待遇。
修持多杰雄登不是什么错事，只是选择不同。为什么老是要针对多杰雄登，拿来做话题，和攻击的对象。这样会有公正吗？有道理吗？
到底修持多杰雄登有什么错。
希望大家以公正的角度去看待这件事。
This is extremely encouraging news on many levels…
1) in some areas of Tibet, the practice of Dorje Shugden continues to be coveted, as evidenced by the number of people who turned up to receive sogtae. Hence we can say that the ban has not been successful in stamping out the practice in Tibet and it never will be
2) the truth about the ban and its background is being spread by fearless lamas inside Tibet. As one person speaks, more and more will speak up. The truth therefore cannot be kept hidden for long as the news will be circulated by those who attended
3) for the over 2000 people who became Gyara Rinpoche’s students when they received sogtae, this means another 2000 people who are confirmed Shugden practitioners. It also means their families will probably end up relying on Shugden or, at the very least, not suppress the practice. Slowly but surely therefore, it will result in a more conducive and less hostile environment for Shugden practitioners
It is important that information like this gets out to the world because so many outside of Tibet who do not know about the enduring popularity of Shugden practice. They just assume what the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan leadership say about Tibet, Tibetans and Shugden to be true when clearly it is not. So thank you Rinpoche for sharing this good news with us!
谢谢tsemrinpoche.com上载嘉若仁波切的开示视频。 藏人行政中央实施的多杰雄登禁令是完全不合理的。 但是， 网上解释以及讲解这项争议的资料并不多。
嘉若仁波切在授予托命灌顶之后，以一位完全合格的拉让巴格西的身份清楚和无惧地讲解这项争议, 针对多杰雄登的特点和历史进行的讲解可以让人们对多杰雄登生起更坚定的信心以外， 也让更多人了解为了弘扬佛法和传承法门，禁令必须消除的原因。
希望更多高僧大德、格西、在家居士无惧地讲解并在社交媒体上多多发帖， 让禁令得以消除。
Thank you Rinpoche for introducing another lama who is fearless when it comes to upholding their practices. The Dorje Shugden sogtae ceremony is worth rejoicing for because the folks in Yading created the causes to receive it especially the Dharma teachings. With the Dharma teachings that goes together with sogtae they can practice more effectively in their daily lives.
The fact that so many of these practitioners attended the Dorje Shugden sogtae signify the practice is alive and well accepted by many and its benefits. Therefore when one experience setbacks or delusion it is due to the purification effect happening. One should rejoice some negative karma is cleared and continue to keep up the practice.
It is heartwarming to see the big numbers of Dorje Shugden practitioners in Daocheng county. The people must have benefitted from the practice of Dorje Shugden, otherwise why such a large number of people follow this practice. It is also heartwarming to see Dorje Shugden high Lamas like Gyara Rinpoche holding on steadfast to their practice and spreading the Dharma far and wide.
Once a practitioner receives the Life Entrustment of Dorje Shugden, Dorje Shugden is sworn to protect the initiate until the initiate has achieved Bodhicitta, and the initiate swears to take Dorje Shugden as their Protector until they attain Bodhicitta. Regardless of whether Bodhicitta is gained in this lifetime or over the course of several lifetimes, Dorje Shugden is sworn to guide and protect the practitioner until its fruition.
Thank you Rinpoche sharing the news about the Dorje Shugden sogtae give by Gyara Rinpoche and his commentary about Dorje Shugden’s qualities and the logical explanation about the Dorje Shugden controversy. While rejoicing for the practitioners who able to receive the sogtae from powerful protector of our times – Dorje Shugden; it’s heartening to see more and more Dorje Shugden lamas comes and speak up about the ban.
Pictures say thousand words…This article not only shows Dorje Shugden are practised by many around the world it’s time to end the sufferings it has caused for the past 19 years. Even you are minority in a society/country, you are entitle to freedom such as freedom to choose your faith and practise it… but in this case Dorje Shugden people’s who is not minority, but have been denied.
Few years back I met Gyara Rinpoche once. Rinpoche is very down to earth, quiet and very learned. This piece of great news shed lights to the DS community who has been suppressed by the CTA for decades, because despite the suppression and opposition, more and more DS Lama are fearlessly propagating DS teachings, speak about the unethical ban on Dorje Shugden publicly and even giving Sogtae the utmost precious gift we can get as a DS practitioner. We urge more DS Lama to speak up publicly about this ban and let the world know this ban should be ended as soon as possible.
Rejoice to read of this teaching of the Dharma, not just about Dorje Shugden practice itself, by H.E. Gyara Rinpoche in Yading.
The Lamrim teaching is such a backbone of the Gelug teaching in Tibetan Buddhism. H.E. Gyara Rinpoche in teaching the Lamrim also included the commentary on Dorje Shugden qualities and history, gave initiations of Guhyasamaja and sogtae on Dorje Shugden. How blessed are the people of Yading!
Besides that even the logical explanation of the Dorje Shugden controversy and the unlawful ban imposed by the CTA was raised. All about knowledge and the right perspective.
Very moving and inspiring to read of these activities.
Thank you, Rinpoche for sharing. May Rinpoche’s wishes manifest smoothly and swiftly.
Wow! Thousands of people attending the event and receive Sogtae! On top of that, Lamrim is being taught. Rejoice for the growth of Dharma and the spreading of Dorje Shugden teaching in China (and everywhere!)
It is so important people these day to understand the Dharma and Lamrim is a good place to start. I personally have not read much Buddhist scriptures, but when I read the Lamrim, it explains many aspects of Buddhism in a simple and logical manner.
May the Lamrim teaching and Dorje Shugden practice spread even bigger to benefit countless sentient beings.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing such a rejoicing news of H.E. Gyara Rinpoche giving Dorje Shugden’s life entrustment initiation (sogtae) to a few thousand monks and lay people in Yangting Dechen Ling Monastery yesterday. How wonderful for Gyara Rinpoche, a Geshe Lharampa to explain about the ban so that the people will understand and be able to have faith in Lord Dorje Shugden to stand firm in face of the controversy. It is so heartening to see so many people flocking to Yangting Dechen Ling Monastery for this blessed life entrustment, an absolute contrast to the lies told by CTA that Shugden practitioners are the minority. The people of Yading are so blessed to be confered such powerful Protector to guide them on their spiritual path.
May we at Kechara have the merits to one day be blessed to receive this powerful Buddha Dorje Shugden Sogtae from our precious Guru. _()_
May there be more qualified lamas who will fearlessly talk more about the ban and the benefits of this Protector practice just like HE Tsem Rinpoche and may there too be many wonderful lamas like Gyara Rinpoche coming to visit and bless KFR
This is truly a propitious news to learn that Gyara Rinpoche gave sogtae (life entrustment initiation) to tens of thousands of people in Sichuan. I am equally impressed to see for my first time a monastery by the name of Shugden Monastery, which is known as Yangting Dechen Ling.
This is a good boost of faith to people on the street as they can see for themselves that Dorje Shugden is a prominent practice that warrants a monastery of His own. Moreover, Shugden Monastery thrives and has produced many illustrious and eminent scholar-monks including H.E. Zemey Rinpoche, Venerable Geshe Tendar Rinpoche and H.H. Yongyal Rinpoche.
People of Sichuan are very lucky to be able to recieve Dorje Shugden sogtae, Lamrim teachings as well as the Guhyasamaja initiation by Gyara Rinpoche who is a fully qualified Geshe Lharampa. Because of his scholastic ranking, I believe his commentary on Dorje Shugden’s qualities and history as well as the background of the controversy will clear the doubts of people in Sichuan.
Thank you very much Rinpoche for his wonderful sharing.
Humbly, bowing down,
Stella Cheang
This is really really a great news that many people got the sogtae from such erudite lama Gyara Rinpoche. I truly rejoice for them. May this will soon happen to the people in Kechara Forest Retreat.
May an innumerable number of beings benefit from the Dorje Shugden practice, quickly.
