Dorje Shugden on a Black Horse
« on: September 17, 2014, 04:09:58 AM »
When one studies the lineage masters of the Sakyapa one couldn’t help but marvel at the illustrious and super magnificent incarnations of these lineage masters who are none other than Dorje Shugden himself. The Sakyapas were coerced by CTA into abandoning DS practice since1996 at the start of the ban when it was enforced. Nonethless there are stalwarts in the Sakya tradition preserving and upholding the DS lineage while waiting for the precise moment to re-emerge and continue to spread their bloodline practice.

This extremely old and holy Dorje Shugden mask probably from the 19th century was found recently in an old Sakya temple in Shigatze.  The Sakyapas there are still propitiating to Dorje Shugden as their protector deity.

It is important we know how Dorje Shugden came intro the Gelug tradition.

Very grateful for the Sakyas to persevere it for us and themselves.  Dorje Shugden practiced being suppressed we can see only the Gelugs are affected but there is more than meets the eye.

If one says that Dorje Shugden is a spirit, then the reputatlon of Sakya lamas are put in question as well.

If it weren't for the Sakya masters, tulkus and practitioners who preserved and protected the practice of Dorje Shugden, this illustrious practice will not be known in this day and age and populated by many due to its efficacy.

I do hope the Sakyapas will continue this powerful lineage even if they defy the Ban.

And yet, they call this practice sectarian. Look at how beautiful this Sakyapa thangka of Dorje Shugden on a black horse is. This is definitely not a Gelug lineage. Wonder who is the confused one now.

For what it is worth, thanks to Dorje Shugden website for educating the masses. At least more and more people can make informed decisions and are not so easily mislead. Thanks for teaching the masses to be more discerning and be able to discern between hearsay and fact about all that is written and said.

The image of Dorje Shugden on a Black Horse is so stunning.
If it weren't for the Sakya tradition to preserve this, then this powerful practice will not be known to this day.
Let's hope the ban be lifted soon so the the Sakya and the Gelup tradition be able to practice openly and may the DS flourish.

We are truly fortunate that this precious and powerful  practice was preserved by the Sakya tradition of great masters, tulkus and practitioners. Dorje Shugden on the black horse is truly magnificent. Glad to know that the Sakyapas are still propitiating Dorje Shugden as their protector deity.

such a wonderful Protector, looks magnificent on black horse. if it not for the Sakyapas, Dorje Shugden practice would not around, and spreading like wildfire now. We must thank the lineage master who have being steadfast in their DS practice and bring Dharma and blessing to sentient being around the world.

The Mask looks very real too, such an auspicious and bless item

As a newbie, I’m trying hard to understand the iconography and meanings behind as depicted in statues and thangkas. In one of the explanations found here in Dorje Shugden.com was The protector Dorje Shugden wearing a tiger boots signified that he appear as a mundane form to tread on this world.
In the photo on post #8, shows the protector was holding a Majushri’ like sword and bare footed.

Does only enlighten beings be depicted as “Bare footed” was to signified that they do not tread on samara no more? And in this aspect shows that he is Manjushri in nature but appear in wrathful form?

No expert here but doesn't this wrathful Manjushri look similar to the barefoot DS above? If so, doesn't it prove that DS is an enlightened being?
