Dear Dorjeshugden.com,
I am continuously amazed at the amount of effort, expenses, time and devotion you put towards the education of Dorje Shugden' practice. How can I ever thank you enough and show my deepest appreciations?
I have never come across such a wonderful illustrated story of Dorje Shugden and with a great voiceover. I am amazed at the work. I just saw it on the homepage and feel so excited. Very inspiring. Not too long and perfect.
So many people will benefit from this. It will even benefit children also. Watching this holy story on full screen on my computer brings tears to my eyes. Thank you.

Everyone should watch it here: http://dorjeshugden.com/wp/

Nice :)
Do you know if they are going to bring out a comic?
-
Incredible innovation – what an unique way to bring Dorje Shugden’s blessed story out to the world. I’m sure many people relate to a visual form more than reading big old books.
I think it would also be a nice learning tool (bedtime story?) for children to learn the history and story of such an incredible being.
I thank the team very much for all your effort and involved very vast thinking – writing the script, doing the illustrations, the voice over and the cute Chinese subtitles! (well, what about the French, Germany, Vietnamese, American etc etc – soon, soon I hope!)
-
I heard a very well illustrated comic is on the way by the people of dorjeshugden.com. The illustrations on the homepage is just the beginning of their projects for a Protector whose time has come.
The team at dorjeshugden.com has many projects to highlight Dorje Shugden's story to the world. They are a very devoted and hardworking team.
Anyone can download the illustrations on the homepage and translate into any language they like. After translation it can be uploaded on this site and other sites for maximum exposure. It should be on as many sites as possible.

Man DS.com has been busy busy busy...Just now i watched from beginning to end and found it most informative. While all the information is here on the site and indepth. This illustration concept brings it all out into the open easy to understand and remember.
Something for us to share with others who want to ease themselves into DS practice or understanding. Can't wait for the comic book, any hints? is it like judge dread style, or black n white? fantasy imagery?
I hope they leak some on the net for us to salivate over.
much respect DS.COM, thanks for everything

Thanks to the 14th Dalai Lama, Dorje Shugden is very well known to the world.
Now it is our job to further educate everyone as to who he is, his history, his benefits, why we need him and how to begin his practice.
Trijang Rinpoche's prophecy in the 70's regarding how Dorje Shugden/Dalai Lama will work together to spread the dharma although it may not appear so, of course is accurate and coming true now.
The Dalai Lama currently during public speeches has begun to say that it is his duty to let you know the 'disbenefits' of Shugden but IT IS UP TO US TO PRACTICE OR NOT. As you have religious freedom. The monks at Serpom Monastery mentioned Dalai Lama's tone is much less harsh and during his stay in Sera, NO TROUBLE CAME TO SERPOM MONASTERY WHAT SO EVER. NO RIOTS FROM LAY PPL AT ALL this time around which of course is big news. No one from the Dalai Lama's group incited any incidences against Serpom Monastery this time around. Dalai Lama has toned downed his speech especially the latest one in Sera. Perhaps the Dalai Lama was not taken to court, but was 'warned' to tone done his speeches against Shugden. For the Indian courts to release the case on technicalities, I'm sure they might have given the Dalai Lama a light warning also.
It is ironic, because near where he was giving his sermon in Sera is Serpom Monastery happily practicing, debating and doing their activities. When the Dalai Lama was staying in Sera recently and giving sermons, he can hear the monks of Serpom Monastery doing their debates energetically and enthusiasitically as they always do from his room. Someone from his entourage mentioned, maybe they are debating extra loud to annoy the Dalai Lama staying nearby?

The comic book coming out does indeed sound very exciting. I would love to get some hints of it also.

Watching the illustrated story of Dorje Shugden brought tears to my eyes. The scenes are so well depicted and most of all, is accurate. What a great way to promote the Protector. I've forwarded this video link to my quite a few of my friends as well. Will there be a comic version? I am certainly waiting with antipication!
What an awesome site we have. Admin and team, thank you so much for all that you do to promote Dorje Shugden.
-
Thank you DS.com Admin & Team .
I am truly impressed and deeply moved by your dedication to bring this beneficial practice in such clear, captivating forms to as many people as possible.
Your team has done incredibly well IN SUCH A SHORT TIME ! I prostrate to you.
I must say this will definitely appeal to those people that don't like to read.
With your permission, how can I download the illustration on my desktop so that I can show it to my friends & kids?
-
Wow is such an understatement for the illustrated story! I really LOVE it! This was such a lovely surprise - there was no hint of this brewing! I think it's fantastic and really brought the story to life! It's also exciting that we can contribute other language subtitles for it.
Re the comic, if one is being considered, i hope it'll be like this - as in more of a graphic novel than a comic for kids.
Great job to all those involved, especially whoever came up with the idea in the first place. It's so very innovative!
Heck, i'm gonna watch it again..
-
WOW!!! This is great. I am trying to download it now so that I may share it with friends here at Shar Gaden.
The connection is a bit slow. This is wonderful!
-
That's amazing!! I've added it onto my Facebook hoping that this form of "entertainment" will grab those on Facebooks' attention! :)
I really like how it structures everything out. Very straight-forward, chronological, LOGICAL and interesting. I love, love, love it!! :)
The DS.com people are really an amazing set of people. I doubt that it's just one person doing all of this! If it is, imagine the amount of merits accumulated by this person by spreading DS in such innovative and effective ways. MANN. Well jealous! Haha I better start printing more brochures and be more proactive in spreading DS :) Don't put the DS.com efforts to waste.
@TenzinSungrab YES! YES! You should! :) I can't imagine how happy the monks would be to watch it! It'd be great if you could translate it for them. Or better yet, make them translate it as their English assignment! haha

This is the best dorje shugden site in the world. The most definitive and contains information from all aspects and even provides links to other related sites. Very fair and very open to pro and against Shugden opinions. It's mission statement is not for bashing the Dalai Lama which is wonderful.
This site is really dedicated to spreading dorje shugden to as many people as possible through evidence, proof, logic, debate, forum discussion and education. I rejoice.

We dorje shugden practitioners do not agree with Dalai Lama and his incorrect stance against Shugden. From whatever angle you examine this, it is wrong. But as responsible Buddhists who are holding perhaps the three sets of vows, we should not just bash the Dalai Lama. We may express clearly our feelings and with logic give evidence and that is fine.
This forum is for both pro and anti Shugden people because by debating we can come to a better understanding of eachother. War of words motivated from bias, anger and hate will go somewhat ahead but not fully ahead. Shugden practitioners are in a sort of minority although millions practice him, so the peaceful and logical way to make our case heard is the right way to go. After all, karma will follow all whether you like the Dalai Lama or not.
Therefore Dalai Lama bashing is NOT ENCOURAGED on this website at all. Our website is not aligned to any centre, hence it will not be a platform for the sole views of any centre's but can share views of all centres.

I agree with TK. This is the BEST DORJESHUGDEN WEBSITE in the world. I applaude the hardworking team behind this website. They are innovative and always surprises the readers.
Pictures speak a thousand words, this video is so well illustrated and I have watched it over and over again. It makes history and biography of Dorje Shugden so easily understood by all walks of life.
I will not be surprised at all if the team come out with a DS comic book.
Thank you and thank you again for such a GREAT ILLUSTRATION for the whole world to see!

I totally agree - i don't know any Shugden practitioner who agrees with the Dalai Lama's ban but how we express our disagreement differentiates us. There are so many factors against Shugden practitioners because of the ban, we should join together in unity and harmony rather than criticise each other. As we have discussed before - if the Dalai Lama is Chenrezig, we should not criticise him. If he is not, then, as Mana says, karma will follow us all.
This is what I believe in and i am so very grateful for this space where finally I have found many people who are open minded and not judgmental. I love the peaceful mandate here and the directive that not only should we not attack the Dalai Lama but also any other Lamas.
Thank you Mana and the other moderators who make this space safe for people like me.

well said Mana! (and welcome back, you’ve been on a hiatus? We have missed your grand voice!)
Sure is the best kind of site there is on Dorje Shugden. What you said there about being for both pro and anti Dorje Shugden is just the reason why it’s the best site. It has always warmed my heart to know so much information is being shared – both pro and anti – for people to look at and MAKE UP THEIR OWN MINDS. It’s important this is done peacefully, without coercion from either side, and this website gives you the space for that.
Most importantly, it RESPECTS THE READER enough to let you make up your own mind, do your own research and investigation, decide the path of your practice. This is how practice should be, shouldn’t it?
yours, and very gratefully, beggar

Admin has added downloadable wallpapers to the front page! Take a look here http://dorjeshugden.com/wp/
I am using the 1st one with the illustrated image of Dorje Shugden on my laptop and the other with the Potala on my office PC. Just today, the office administrator asked me about the image and that enabled me to show her this website and introduce her to the Dorje Shugden. Although she is an atheist, the illustrated story sparked her interest to do a spot of research herself.
Thank you admin!
;D

Brill video guys! Voice is very calming too, good job! I like how the admin are always springing surprises on us...makes you wonder what's next!
After all, karma will follow all whether you like the Dalai Lama or not.
That's the crux of the whole thing really. Besides, you destroy your practice from inside out. He be a fool who is led by external factors to commit non-virtuous deeds!

Dear webmaster and owners of this site,
Thank you so much for the beautiful video that clearly shows that Dorje Shugden is an authentic Dharma protector and that has so many inspiring stories from our Lineage Gurus, it is a very blessed treasure.

I am truly amazed of what the DS.com TEAM can do in such a short period of time.......for giving us this 1st ever audio visual creation of the story on Dorje Shugden
I rejoice to you guys working behind the scenes, so devoted and sincere and springing surprises like this. I really love the illustrated story with the narration and have listened to it many times. The narrator has a great voice. This illustration concept is easy to understand and remember and even young children can also benefit from it.
I thank you guys for all the hard work you have put in to promote Dorje Shugden.

dorjeshugden.com never stop to amaze me. Apart from providing the platform of interesting updates (not forgetting the big news of Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen's reincarnation, Gaden Trisur switch camp joining Shar Gaden etc), brochures download, and now the illustrated comic!
Thank you dorjeshugden.com team. You guys are really doing a lot to ensure the spread & awareness of King protector Dorje Shugden!

THIS IS THE BEST DORJE SHUGDEN SITE IN THE WORLD. NEWS, ILLUSTRATIONS, FORUM, ARTICLES, VIDEOS, PICTURE GALLERY, BROCHURES, GUESTBOOK, AND A PLACE TO CONGREGRATE FOR ALL THOSE ENDURING THE BAN WITH SO MUCH STRENGTH.
THIS SITE SERVES TO EDUCATE, EMPOWER AND OFFER SOLACE.
FANTASTIC SACRED SPACE WE HAVE HERE.

How many ways can there be to promote Dorje Shugden? Well, DS.COM has certainly been churning out educational and promotional materials in such innovative and creative ways, professional looking, non-biased messages on a regular basis...with the most comprehensive, easy to understand Starter Kit for beginners, brochures, now an incredible illustrated cartoon and wall papers!
And everything is made available to us freely. How we can repay the kindness of the people behind this website as well as our Protector is to use these materials and made it known to our friends and via other related websites.
Let's get busy!

Wow! I love several scenes in the video like the scene of Lama Tsongkhapa giving teachings to an assembly of monks in a giant prayer hall. It kinda evoked a very warm feeling and wondered how Lama Tsongkhapa looked like in real life. I wondered where have all the monks during Lama Tsongkhapa have incarnated to. I am pretty sure that many of these monks are highly attained and have control over their rebirth. I heard from some monks heard that high Lamas would joke that taking rebirth in Tushita would not be easy getaway from Samsara as Lama Tsongkhapa would urge his followers to take rebirth in order to benefit others.

Well, one of Lama Tsongkhapa's disciples is Duldzin Drakpa Gyeltsen and I'm still curious when he (or she, to be politically correct!) will reveal him or herself! I'm sure Tsongkhapa's other disciples have also reincarnated back - either in our world or another - because it's the Bodhisattva's nature to return and help us stupid sentient beings.
I'm curious - is there a recognised incarnation of Tsongkhapa?

How wonderful, the first ever illustrated story of Dorje Shugden in the World!!! Kudos to the people working on this site and the people who are involved in the project. This is due to the pure dedication and sheer determination to promote Dorje Shugden to the young and old. Thanks a million. The story of Dorje Shugden is easily understandable and accessible to many more. What a clever and skillful way to spread Dorje Shugden. May you who are involved in this have long and healthy lives to benefit numberless beings.
I am so touched by your efforts and kindness .....

This video is amazing!
I showed it to one of my friends today whom I was trying to explain who Dorje Shugden is, his lineage etc and this video helped me SO MUCH.
It was easy to explain things after watching the video. Sometimes when we speak it could be a little messy and rather patchy. She came round and after watching the video she came up with lots of question to then I helped filled in the gaps.
YAYYY.
Thanks DS.com :)

It is our true hope by understanding Dorje Shugden better, it removes the 'faults' of the lineage lamas. By the lineage lamas having no faults as wrongly described by the TGIE, people will gain faith in them and congregate to them for teachings. This is our hope. What prevents people from going to these lineage lamas is that they practice/teach Dorje Shugden. So if Dorje Shugden's practice is made clear, it will exonerate the holy lineage lamas. Then people will not criticize the lineage lamas. The lineage lamas alive today will not be seen as deviant, hence many will flock to recieve teachings from them. Far from being deviant, the lineage lamas are perfect vessels of BuddhaDharma. This website definitely promotes BuddhaDharma via Dorje Shugden.
We are very happy you can make Dorje Shugden well known in the world as it will definitely help the Lineage of Tsongkapa expand in this degenerate age.

Uuuuuummmazing! Thank you, ds.com team a million for the effort and love you put into upholding and spreading the practice of Dorje Shugden.
Jessicajameson, you are right! We should add this to our twitter and facebook links …whatever we can get our hands on…so that more people will have the opportunity to enjoy this simple yet comprehensive illustration.
This illustration is the kind adaptation to our degenerate time: making the rich story of our beloved Protector short and comprehensive so that we are able to learn and absorb easily and quickly.
With all the innovative methods and tools created by this website’s team such as the brochure, this illustration, the website itself and the future comic book, many paths have been open for the spread of our Great King’s worship. In summary, it is time to grab these tools and use them well so that we can repay our kind Protector for all He has blessed us with!

I watch the video illustration again, and I love it more and more. Can't help it I think :D
I showed this video to a few of my friends two days ago, it made explaining the lineage and the significance of Dorje Shugden so easy.
It also help me to remember the chronological sequence of events better.
I must applaude the Web team again and again for your untiring dedicated hard work in making this the BEST DORJE SHUGDEN WEBSITE IN THE WORLD. I am honoured to be able to share my views in this sacred space provided.

WOW!!!! this is getting really cool...
I never thought Dharma teaching can be so interesting, I remember when i was young, i followed my mother to temple to listen to some monk talk, during that time, i really feel like going home, because it is so bored, seriously, to me, dharma teaching is the last place i will go in my life.
When i was introduced to this website, actually i only think about come here to browse around then get lost and never come back, hehe, just like when i browsed through other website, a one time visit just to kill off my curiosity, but it ends up not as what I've thought, i start getting more interested with this website, interesting bio of the High Lamas, testimonial and most importantly, this illustrated story, it really captured my attention.
Thank you DS Teams for doing such a great job, you sure have many ideas of promoting Dorje Shugden huh, heard you are coming out comic as well??? is it true???
haha, please let me know if you do, i loves comics, i hate reading books, but i loves to read comics, can't live without it, seriously, if you really do, please let me know... because...
I WANT ONEEEEEE!!!!!!!

It's hardly been 10 days since this comic video's been uploaded to the site and there are already 1306 viewers!
All it takes is 30 minutes (the length of the video) of someone's time to get to know so much about Dorje Shugden. Amazing!
Who says an ancient religion such as Buddhism must stay archaic in its delivery medium! I appreciate the progressiveness of this website in bringing old wisdom to a modern audience.

I want Dorje Shugden to be known to all Slavic people, they need Buddhism more than they know it.
