I just printed some brochures and dorje shugden cards. While preparing them for distribution I just thought to myself how this is such a modern and innovative way to fulfill the preliminary practices.

Just like in Tibet, many engage in making tsa tsas out of clay. What do they do with it? So many are left on the mountains.

I've read criticisms that people may not read the brochures when it's being distributed. Well, it'll be great if people read it but we would have created the cause and generated good virtues by doing this sincerely.

Also, it's much lighter in weight compared to clay tsa tsas ! :)

I love reading the Threads on News from Shar Gaden and THIS!

Because in these two threads, there are always regular updates on how Dorje Shugden is spreading and being promoted.

To me, these two threads are the most up lifting because I see the numbers increasing and going up!

Personally, I can only see it increasing and going up over time!

This makes my day!  :)

Just like in Tibet, many engage in making tsa tsas out of clay. What do they do with it? So many are left on the mountains.

Can you imagine, you're at your wits' end on the mountains and you come across a tsa tsa? And after that, you're rescued? How much faith would you instantly develop in the deity?

Or you're in a hospital somewhere, waiting for your loved ones to get better, and then you come across a DS brochure? And after chanting the mantra a couple of times, what looked like a hopeless situation, turned around for the better?

In the silliest example, I know people who have asked the Protector for something as small as help with parking when they are in an emergency. And next thing you know, a space opens up right in front of them. Yes, it's dumb and silly to ask Dorje Shugden for something as mundane as that, and maybe it was just a sheer coincidence, but when I saw how much faith the people developed in him (they now do his mantra everyday), it was worth it.

Effect's the same really. In both cases, people become suffer less. Just the method is different but who is to say which method is correct, when both results are the same and both are positive :)

I like that outward looking view of yours... focusing on the methods which brings about positive results, helping people gain faith is so much more refreshing than being fixated with what we are used to. That's exactly what this brochure distribution initiative and efforts is about.

How many people will stumble upon this website? Well and good if they do.

But it takes so little just to go about our daily activities and drop a few brochures here and there, wherever we go.

This thread is continuous which shows the enthusiasm many have for compassionately making the practice of Dorje Shugden available to many. Very wonderful care and sharing.

It is fulfilling to share our views/practices/lineage here on this forum, but also powerful that many can physically distribute the brochures bringing divine assistance to those karmically ready.
