First Dorje Shugden Mural in Brooklyn, New York

[icy]

Wow, truly a modern and beautiful thangka displaying in a modern and unprecedented place.  It brings tremendous blessing to whoever cast eyes on it.  By its power, it also blesses the area.  Such brilliant idea to bring Dorje Shugden to the busy location of Brooklyn, New York!

May many more of these thangkas cover the space on earth.

More more more!

This is a creative portal to bring Manjushri to millions in NYC, the greater Metropolitan area of New York has 23.4 million people and the throngs of tourists who are attracted by the city that never sleeps. Dorje Shugden is well known to manifest much signs to those who are devoted, who knows perhaps Dorje Shugden may manifest miracles to New Yorkers.

New York being one of the capital of the worlds, it is a place for. modernity, democracy, capitalism and where the entire world's people come to work, live and thrive. Concepts as discrimination and bans are antithesis to what New York represents. Perhaps it is timely that Dorje Shugden has a spot in NYC. First mural in the US of A, all American cities have graffiti art, it is part and parcel of American culture. Let the creativity and divine art begin in the US with NYC. 

NYC play host to the United Nations, the organisation that champions freedom, humanity, humanistic ideals, the statue of Liberty watches over this city. There is much in NYC that symbolises freedom of beliefs, its people come from all corners of the world, no one is banned from this or that belief, no one can control what people want to pray to.

New York State's Human Rights Law prohibits discrimination on the basis of "age, race, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, military status, sex or marital status" in employment, housing, education, credit, and access to public accommodations[1] The law was originally passed in 1945 as the Law Against Discrimination,[2] and was the first of its kind in the United States.[3] It is enforced by the New York State Division of Human Rights

   

This brings to mind can the CTA be brought and challenged in New York for their unenlightened policy of enforcing the ban?

What a brilliant ideas to have Dorje Shugden mural so that it is beautifying the surrounding as well as blessed all people, animals or even birds that pass that mural and plant the imprint of Manjushri to them. I love this peaceful form of Dorje Shugden drawing and the colour also brighten up my days!

This is a magnificent image of Dorje Shugden. Kudos to the hardworking team to think of this ingenious idea of having a mural of Dorje Shugden painted on a wall in a high traffic area. It is a gentle way to "promote" our protector to the public and also drawing the attention to the website that is full of information pertaining to Dorje Shugden.
In addition to the protests that aims to draw the attention of the world towards the illogical ban on DS practice, murals such as this would be another essential media to reach out to many people everywhere.

Wow! Fantastic idea! Now more and more people will find out about Dharma Protector and the injustice ban that hides itself behind the mask of a compassionate Buddhist nation.

I wish and hope to see more of this all over the world!

This is incredibly creative because it also plants the seeds of Dharma to many passer-bys without them even knowing! Should get more artist to do lots more of Dorje Shugden image in many different styles

The idea of panting a Dorje Shugden's mural as a grafitti in New York is a superb idea, as it will encourage more people to do the same, not only in New York City but all over United States with laws that encourages and addresses human rights issues.

The grafitti is colourful, bright, fun, creative and unassuming. Great way to plant imprints both directly and indirectly in anyone's mind. Skillful means.

Dorjeshugden.com plans on more murals throughout large cities.  Is anyone interested in this project in your cities, do let them know.

They are also looking for more artists! Or you can do the same in your communities. Arrange a Dorje Shugden painted so all may be blessed.  Generate tremendous merits with Dorje Shugden mural.  What a cool and Dorje Shugdenistic way!

Kudos to Dorjeshugden.com for the excellent method of using murals to promote Dorje Shugden!

Dorje Shugden is manifesting skillfully in the form of murals. This mural at NYC is beautiful and will attract people's attention. The message to the World is loud, direct and clear - "Protector Dorje Shugden is here to stay and to benefit many." No one including His Holiness Dalai Lama and Central Tibetan Administration can stop him!

These are the benefits of creating and displaying Dorje Shugden murals in your cities shared by DS.com:

THE BENEFITS
Unlike regular paint work or decoration, murals can give artists a better opportunity to express their creative and artistic interpretations of an image. Some of the benefits of a nicely-done mural include:

Brightening the local environment. Murals are often colourful and make use of dead space that is otherwise plain and underutilised

Education and a provider of inspiration. Murals can be used to promote positive messages or, in our case, positive images

Promoting creativity. Murals can help to generate further exciting artistic expressions of a person’s thoughts, beliefs and opinions

Create lasting impressions on visitors. Because of their size and contemporary style, a mural with a catchy message can be effective advertising that sticks with the viewer

Effective message boards. Murals can be painted with text large enough for people to read from a distance. Their size captures your attention, whether or not you are interested in the subject

Murals like ours with a large Buddha image on the ground level can attract and bless people when they walk by. Due to their size, passersby cannot help but look at murals and when it is an image of the Buddha, it plants seeds of enlightenment in their minds

This is really cool! Lord Shugden on a mural and it’s in New York! Come on…….
It’s really rejoicing seeing Lord Shugden on such a big wall and so many people will get his blessing and so many people will recognize him and check this protector out and learn about him. The more people know him the more people will learn about the ban and definitely the more people will have a big question mark on why there is a ban on this practice with no solid or rational reason. The public is not stupid and able to check and understand the whole situation and when the world will start to question be it practitioner or not but this relate to religious freedom and human right!

We hope to see more Lord Shugden mural in all over the country and with this more people know how much suffering the practitioners have to endure and how violent CTA is by torturing their own people.

This is quite neat! It is kinda cartoonish but nevertheless, it looks intriguing. If I knew nothing about Tibetan Buddhism, I would think that Dorje Shugden was some kinda superhero here. Anyway, the mistaken identity of Dorje Shugden as a superhero is not a bad thing, really...

I think the best thing about this mural is the fact that it plants seeds of wrathful Manjushri in the minds of many who passes this mural. The second best thing is that the very visible website that people can gain access to know more about Dorje Shugden. Kudos to those who thought of this idea and perhaps, this was originally inspired by the street abstract rendition of Dorje Shugden painted a year ago. Nevertheless, it is still cool and hopefully it would inspire more like this one.

Very brilliant idea to have Dorje Shugden's mural in New York. This piece of artwork able to bring "joy" to more people who see it. People who have problems or bored, or looking for spiritual able to log in to the website stated clearly. People who always walk passed by the Dorje Shugden are direct or indirectly connected to the "image" of protector.

Thanks for the sharing Icy.

[maricisun]

Simply amazing. Just by looking at the image of Dorje Shugden brings so much blessings.
The whole area are also blessed by Dorje Shugden. Anyone passes by and look at the painting will be exposed to DS and soon everyone will be looking for more information on DS and hopefully can help to lift the ban soon.
A brilliant and fun way to promote DS to more people.

This brings to mind can the CTA be brought and challenged in New York for their unenlightened policy of enforcing the ban?   

Of course not.  No one can stop an enlightened protector of our time who is swift and powerful, not even the Dalai Lama or CTA.  Dorje Shugden is here to stay and spread to benefit many and this is only the beginning.  The time has begun, the Dorje Shugden Renaissance is here.
