Translation help needed
« on: June 28, 2012, 06:20:45 PM »
I was looking for pictures of the 5 emanations earlier, and came across this site:

http://mqdj.tibetcul.com/75874.html

Can someone please help me to translate what it says? Is it a blog about Dorje Shugden? Why did they put up a picture of Dorje Shugden and Trijang Rinpoche? Is Trijang Rinpoche famous in China? Btw thats a very nice picture of Trijang Rinpoche they have there.

Is it a blog about Dorje Shugden?
No, it is an individual's blog, translation of the owner's name into English could be Jigme Dorje.

Why did they put up a picture of Dorje Shugden and Trijang Rinpoche?
Related to the article mentioned, because it is quoting from Music Delighting The Ocean of Protectors by Kyabje Trijang Dorje Chang.

Is Trijang Rinpoche famous in China?
No mention of it here.


The majority of the article was quoting from Page 5 – 7 of Music Delighting The Ocean of Protectors


In regard to those who exhibit worldly aspect though their nature be actually supra?mundane, as it says in the enlightenment chapter of the Uttaratantra, under classification of types of refuge,

Just as the jewel shines with
With various colors not its own,
Likewise, due to varying conditions of beings,
Buddhas appear in forms other than that of actual Vajradhara.

Accordingly, the wish?fulfilling jewel is not varicolored, yet it transforms into many various colors so that it appears to be colors that it is not. Likewise, because of the various families, faiths, and wishes of beings, Buddhas who have exhausted all faults, sometimes emanate with body, speech, and mind that appear as if they have not abandoned all faults. In impure environments, they emanate displaying ordinary deluded worldly forms, when appearing to pure beings they appear as transcendent wisdom supra?mundane Protectors, and on occasions of extreme purity they appear in the form of the non?dual Yuganadha, the Unified Pair. But there has never been a worldly or a supra?mundane Dharma protector who was truly existent as such from its own side.

Furthermore, even those who appear to be enemies who are harming oneself, for someone who is meditating on the spiritual path, at the common stage of great scope, appear as one’s own extremely cherished dear child, and at the uncommon first stage, they appear through the force of meditation as gods and goddesses. When the special bliss of completion stage is generated in the mind, they appear in mandalas throughout space in wisdom forms and pure lands. Gradually, when one attains the supreme great bliss, they appear in no form other than that of the great Sambogakaya of Akanishta Pure Land because their appearance as enemies and the conception of them as enemies has been severed. For example, just as enemies we don't even want to see or hear about can later become friends with whom we are inseparable, all are projections of nothing but our own mind. As Venerable Milarepa said,

This realization that what appears is aspects of mind:
When not realized, that is the ignorance
That is the basis of all karma and delusion.
If realized, it is ones own transcendent awareness
And all positive qualities increase.

That's how it is. Likewise, in regard to this very Dharma protector, Emanated Gyalchen Dorje Shugden, in Expression of the Names of Manjusri, it says,

Glorious illuminator of all forms!
Holder of all reflections!


And then it was followed by quoting a post from xiongdeng.com forum: http://www.xiongdeng.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=127 , about a letter written by Trijang Rinpoche, talking about Dorje Shugden; followed by a praise. Perhaps someone can help locate the relevant letter on this website and the praise in English?

I can't translate it right now, but have summarised it into this:
“Even these days, some suspect those who rely upon and propitiate Gyalchen (Dorje Shugden) of conjuring ghosts, but it is the babbling talk of those who don’t understand the definitive meaning.”
