Question asked by Lee
Hello dear Pastors!
I have read about one post mention about self-divination by Mala.
I would like to ask about that could we use this divination method for certain urgent situations without a Lama or Rinpoche nearby?
Instead, I used Manjushri mantra that can i used Dorje Shugden mantra for this divination?
Thank you so much.
The post is under here:
SELF DIVINATION (Try this)
Must have faith.
Here is the fast divination technique using a mala.
First visualize the deity Jampelyang (Manjushri) and pray Gangi Lodey which you all know since it is the most common prayer recited daily in the schools. Then Recite 100 mantra "oṃ a ra pa ca na dhīḥ".
Hold the mala in your lap, and with each hand grasp a bead at random.
Now pull three beads each, moving the hands toward each other, until one, two, or three beads remain. Note the left over beads.
Please do this three times.
So the result are as under:
One remaining bead is called Falcon. If you have a Falcon on your first round, it indicates support from protectors, luck in new endeavors, and success in lawsuits.
If you have a Falcon on the second round, this indicates general good luck, with small risk of misfortune.
If you have a Falcon on the third round indicates expected guests will arrive imminently, or you will have news of them.
Two beads remaining is called Raven. A Raven on the first round means little support from the protectors, nothing can be accomplished, lawsuits will be unsuccessful, and enemies have the upper hand.
A Raven on the second round indicates serious illness and a decline in force. Things will be lost or stolen.
A Raven on the third round indicates bad luck for travelers, and sicknesses will not be cured.
Three beads remaining is called Snow Lion. A Snow Lion on the first round indicates middling support from the protectors, slow accomplishment, and weak enemies. This is generally a neutral result.
A Snow Lion on the second round indicates dangers to health that could nevertheless be resolved. Things lost or stolen can be found.
A Snow Lion on the third round indicates late arrival for travellers, and some difficulty finding the right treatment for illness.
Further, you can also use similar technique to see your other concerns..

Thanks and goodnight.
Dear Lee,
Thank you for your question and nice to see you here. While the actual divination texts/manuals are publicly available these days, engaging in divination entails quite a lot than just simply doing prayers. There are long procedures of training involved including retreats, etc, in order for a practitioner to make a connection with the deity and to qualify to actual perform divinations.
While the text and manuals are available, engaging in them without the proper qualifications can be dangerous. Among other things, the answers received won’t be accurate, because the practitioner doesn’t actually have a strong connection with the deity.
It’s too much to explain in this short space. But you can read an article regarding Dorje Shugden divination here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/dorje-shugdens-dice-divination.html The same procedures and training apply to all forms of Tibetan Buddhist Divination.
I hope this helps.
