Question asked by John Ong
I've been drawn to the protector Dorje Shugden since reading up on all the 'controversies'. In fact it was the controversies that started me reading. I've done over 347,000 mantras of this protector and feel good. Is there anything else I can do to get 'closer' and have signs and good omens? Thank you ahead of time.
Dear John Ong,
It is your choice to propitiate any protector you wish. In this time and age, there should be no obstruction to freedom of religion. It is the basic right of all human beings to follow any religion or deity whom they feel is right for them. We do not have any special advice for you with regard to your practice except to follow your heart. What we do know is that enlightened protectors will help if your motivation is based on bodhicitta, that is, you must have the altruistic intention to benefit others in whatever you do.
