Wow, I cannot believe that I have totally missed out on reading this very precious post!
Amazingly kind that TK has shared so much valuable information on Dorje Shugden's Divinations in here. These should not be taken lightly at all.
I am completely blown away that TK has actually completed all of it in 3.5 months and is actually qualified to do divinations to help anyone who needs an extra confirmation from the Divine in order to calm their minds or assist them in making a very difficult decision during a challenging time.
Reading this has truly inspired me in so many ways.
May I have the great sacred opportunity to serve and benefit others in the same way.
Personally, I rejoice that there are so many available methods out there to help all sentient beings.
Because every individual is so different and require different ways. How kind of the Buddhas and Enlightened Beings to create the various ways for us all so that no one is left behind or left out.
Again, I truly rejoice for you, TK and congratulate you in going beyond what any normal human being would do.
May I be able to do the same one day soon.
Thank you for taking the time to share all this very important information.
Thank you for giving up your own time in order to train yourself in the first place.
Thank you for caring enough to share your knowledge and experiences with the rest of us.
I, for one, have always enjoyed reading your posts and found them most meaningful/helpful.

Dorje Shugden Divinations:
1.) There are two current text on divination in use and circulation. His Eminence Kyabje Dagom Dorje Chang composed one text and Dorje Shugden Himself took trance and composed the original one. They are both highly accurate on the hundreds of occasions divination was consulted to Dagom Rinpoche by my associates/friends/dharma students.
2.) When Dorje Shugden took trance of the previous Choyang Dulzin Kuten, he was in trance for over two hours. Dorje Shugden gave the direct lineage, oral transmission, and explanation of this text. In other words, he composed on the spot this sacred text. Amazing as Shugden gave transmission on his own text he composed on the spot. Start of a lineage. It was compiled by the then secretary in audience with Dorje Shugden in his peaceful form as Dulzin. If I am not mistaken, the secretary is the current abbot of Shar Gaden, the Most Venerable Geshe Lobsang Pende-lak. I am referring to the Dorje Shugden composed text below.
3.) It's broken down into 6 basic sections with subsections and Intro's advice:
A. Intro advice
B. The six basic sections are for the 6 faces of the dice. Depending which side the dice falls, each side is broken down into approximately 10 subsections. Each Subsection gives details of results, to engage in a certain action being asked or to avoid or otherwise, pujas, remedial solutions, etc.
10 subsections that the questions are divided into:
Dharma Activity
visitors/friends
House & Place
Success
Legal Actions
Sickness
Life Span
Spirits
Medical Treatments
Travelling Wealth & Resource
4.) In order to engage in this profound practice of Divination relying on the infallible Dorje Shugden, it is highly recommended:
a. Recieve the empowerment of Tsongkapa (Je Tse Zin Ma), engage in formal retreat with minimum of 100,000 migtseymas. No fire puja.
b. Recieve the initiation of Yamantaka, solitary or 13-Deity is fine, engage in the retreat. Minimum 400,000 main mantra, and 40,000 other three mantras each. Seal with a sacred Fire Puja.
c. Recieve Sogtae (life entrustment) of Dorje Shugden, engage in a extended retreat at least 1,000,000 (one million minimum) main mantra and secondary mantry 100,000 is ok. Seal with a sacred Dorje Shugden Fire puja.
5.) Then upon finishing retreat, request one's lama permission to start the divinations and can get one's divination dice consecrated by one's lama.
Of course one's does not engage in such sacred retreats with the motivation JUST TO DO DIVINATIONS. That would be a 'waste'. One should do with the highest of motivations as in Lam Rim Prayers or King of Prayers. The side benefit would be the ability to divine the future for situations beyond logical thinking or a logical course of action.
6.) When one has finished the retreat, recieved the permission of one's lama, then everyday prior to divination, one is to recite Hung Rang Nyi Yidam, etc. 3x, offer serkym and with a good motivation one may recieve questions and proceed to divine to help others.
This is a short run down of the details, requirements and procedures behind the highly accurate divination method of the Enlightened Dorje Shugden.
