Tsem Tulku gave Dorje Shugden as a YIDAM practice to some of his students so claims Pastor David Lai.
He stated this in his Youtube video of August 10, 2021 titled, "Once Upon A Time With Rinpoche - Rinpoche's Personal Yidam Pt 6".
Here is the link to that video and please go to the 11:00 minute mark. It is roughly 45 seconds long.

Pray for Rinpoche's swift return
