Why Dorje Shugden Practitioners Aren't Doing Anything Wrong
Why Dorje Shugden Practitioners Aren't Doing Anything Wrong
uld be kind to them. Invite them, teach them, slowly and give them logic and wis
dom without fear, then in time they give up the practice assuming it is ‘wrong’. Wou
ldn’t that be a Buddhistic approach to all ‘wrong-doers’? Actually Dorje Shugden pract
itioners are not doing anything wrong. But hypothetically, if they are, wouldn’t i
t be a better and more true to the spirit of Buddhism to be accepting? So those
reading this website who have views against Dorje Shugden should contemplate thi
s. Those who are practicing Dorje Shugden should forbear with extreme patience,
fortitude and keep your commitments. The time will come as predicted that Dorje
Shugden’s practice and it’s terrific quick benefits will be embraced by the world an
d it will be a practice of many beings.
Many beings who have said or thought negativities against this protector will re
gret and see the benefits and enlightened nature of Lord Dorje Shugden, King of
the manifested deities who resides simultaneously in the Three Worlds…After all, i
f H.H. the Dalai Lama can say that his guru Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche is wrong in
this practice, then he leaves the door wide open that His Holiness Himself can b
e wrong also. What would make His Holiness right and His Guru wrong?? If His gur
u can be wrong, then disciples of the Dalai Lama can say that the Dalai Lama is
wrong also. If we choose that view, it becomes messy. So we have to think that o
utwardly His Holiness puts his ‘reputation’ on the line to speak out ‘against’ Dorje Shu
gden in His skillful means to not create fear in the hearts of sectarian people
who use the holy lineages of Nyingma, Kagyu, Sakya and Gelug against each other.
As the destruction of any lineage or deterioration would set the example for ot
her lineages. They are somehow interdependent.
We at this website respect His Holiness the Dalai Lama from the depths of our he
arts and at the same time follow our golden vajra commands of our lamas we met p
revious to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The commitments of Dorje Shugden we have
received from our root and lineage lamas prior to His Holiness must be upheld a
lso. All those great lamas who are also the lineage lamas of His Holiness cannot
be wrong. If they are, then the other practices, lineages, initiations, transmi
ssions passed to His Holiness would be ‘stained’ by the practice of Dorje Shugden al
so?
So for example, His Holiness kindly confers the Kalacakra many times throughout
the world. He has received this lineage from Kyabje Ling Rinpoche. Kyabje Ling R
inpoche’s root lama is Kyabje Pabongkha Rinpoche Jetsun Dechen Nyingpo recognized
as the emanation of Heruka Cakrasamvara. Every great Gelugpa lama is directly or
indirectly connected to this great being. Kyabje Pabongkha Rinpoche practised D
orje Shugden throughout his holy life. So if his practice is wrong, then he woul
d be a wrong lineage lama to Kyabje Ling Rinpoche. If that is wrong, then His Ho
liness is passing practices that are so called ‘impure’ to many today. That is impos
sible. His Holiness is definitely pure as well as His lineage lamas, for example
Kyabje Pabongkha Rinpoche. Even His Holiness could not override any master of a
ny school of Buddhism or any sect, otherwise His Holiness would put Himself in t
he position of being eventually overridden also. Who would want to do that? All
the many lineage masters who practiced Gyelchen Dorje Shugden in their previous
incarnations are back and studying/teaching again. Many have been recognized by
the oracle of Dorje Shugden and His Holiness the Dalai Lama himself. So why are
they back?? Shouldn’t they have taken unfortunate rebirths??
Below is a beautiful prayer to the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden as composed by
H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama in the mid 70’s..His Holiness at that time and now is of
the same mindstream, free of mistakes as He is the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara.
Those of you who have tremendous obstacles, fearful situations, desperate predic
aments, financial woes that hinder your dharma growth and practice should engage
in the tremendously quick and efficacious practice of Dorje Shugden. It must be
combined with pure Guru devotion, consistent practice of one’s yidam, holding one’s
vows and words of honor, no harm should be done to others, respect of all linea
ges and lineage lamas, teachers and masters. Forgive and forbear those who show
enmity and disdain. For that would please the holy mind of the Dharmaphala King
of the Three Lokas, Gyelchen Dorje Shugden. Even if one has no confirmed practic
e, lama or vows, still with good motivation, if one propitiates this holy protec
tor, one can see the benefits. Like anything with time, the help, and mystical i
ntervention of this supreme being will be felt more and more obvious. Especially
if one is on the path of the cultivation of Lam Rim realizations. Put your ener
gies not into worry, despair, depression, unnecessary wastage of time, but chann
el it into the modernly adapted yet supreme practice of this protector.
