Dorje Shugden Enthronement Prayer

Composed by the 31st Sakya Trizin Kunga Lodro

HUM!
With the Vajradhara root and lineage masters,
The assembly of yidhams 1 who grant all realizations,
And protectors who remove all obstacles,
We recognize you as a king among thrinlay lhundrub 2.

 

GANG KU MUG NAG NYI MA JE WAY ZI
CHÖ GÖ SUM DEN RAB JUNG ZHÖN NUI TSUL
SER GYI DANG DEN THANG THEB BU LA SÖL
CHÖ KHOR YONG KYI SUNG MAR NGA SÖL LO

Your dark-red form blazes like a hundred suns,
You appear as a youthful monk in the triple robes,
You wear a gold-hued thebzha 3 on your head,
We recognize you as the protector of all chokhors 4.

 

DREN PA TSAM GYI MI THUN CHOG NAM KÜN
KE CHIG NYI LA THEL BAR LOG NÜ PAY
LHA MAG JE WAY MAG TSOG GYE PA YI
CHAG TSEN TSEN DEN BING GI NGA SÖL LO

Merely by recalling whose name,
Who could emanate a million divine hosts,
That can reduce to dust all malignant forces,
With the divine sandalwood bheng 5, we recognize you as such.

 

TEN DANG TEN DZIN BU ZHIN KYONG DZE CHING
NAM ZHI TRINLEY THOG MAY NYUR DRUB PA
DRAG SHUL TOB DEN DORJE SHUGDEN TSEL
DAG GI TEN GYI DRA LHAR NGA SÖL LO

You are the fierce and mighty Dorje Shugden,
Who sustains tenpa 6 and tenzin 7 like son,
And swiftly fulfills all four tasks,
I recognize you as my constant dralha 8.

 

DOR NA DAG GI LEG NYE JA WA KÜN
CHÖ SUNG CHEN PO KYE LA NYER TAY KYI
NYIN TSEN YEL WA MAY PAR SUNG WA DANG
CHOG DÜ KÜN TU GYE PAY TRA SHI TSÖL

In short I entrust all my concerns both right n’ wrong,
To you, great dharmapala,
Protect me day and night with vigilance,
At all times and places, grant propitious factors.

  2. Dear Sakya Dorje Shugden, could you please elaborate about these Sakya Trizins? I know Dagchen Sonam Rinchen was the one who recognized and enthroned Dorje Shugden as a Protector of the Sakyas. Sachen Kunga Lodro wrote extensively on Dorje Shugden fulfilment rituals. He is also believed to be the emanation of Dorje Shugden himself along with 37th Sakya Trizin, Kunga Nyingpo. I believe that Dragshul Thinley Rinchen proclaimed that Dorje Shugden to be the emanation of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara

  3. Lest we forget, the Sakyas hosted Dorje Shugden initially when Dorje shugden first appeared. One of Dorje Shugden incarnation is Birwapa who is a reknown lineage lama of the Sakyas.

    Thank you for this prayer.. I do hope once the ban lifts the Sakyas will once again practice Dorje Shugden…

  4. May all those negative influences that harm the teaching of the victorious ones through their perverted aspirations –
    Those with form and those without form (Shugden) –
    All those who work with malicious intentions,
    Be annihilated through the truth of the Three Jewels !v

  5. Powerful prayer! I always hold a burning incense when doing this prayer!
    Thank you for sharing this prayer with all of us!
    May Dorje Shugden protect this world and all of us always _( )_.

  6. This prayer composed by the 31st Sakya Trizin Kunga Lodro tells us that Dorje Shugden is not only a dharma protector to help Gelug’s practitioners, but also Sakya’s practitioners or many others those who are sincere and have faith in him.

    Thank you for this sharing.

  7. From this prayer by the 31st Sakya Trizin Kunga Lodro we knew that Dorje Shugden have been practicing in Sakya before. In fact, Sakya is the 1st lineage who introduce Dorje Shugden.

  8. Dear Dalai Lama,

    Since you started the cruel ban against the 350 year Dorje Shugden practice, how has it benefit your Tibetan society and Buddhism in the world? Things have become worse and most educated Tibetans can see this. They don’t speak out not because they don’t see your ban as wrong, but you instill fear in them and not respect. It is like fear of a dictator. I am sorry to say so. Everyone is divided. There is no harmony. Before your ban there was more harmony and unity.

    By enacting the ban, you split the monasteries, split so many families, split regions in Tibet apart, split your disciples from you, split your own gurus from you, split Tibetan Buddhism apart. You have created so much disharmony.

    It is not democratic what you have done to ban a religion within your community. You always talk of tolerance and acceptance and democracy and yet you do not accept and tolerate something different from your beliefs. When people practice Dorje Shugden you ostracize them, ban them from seeing you, ban them from using Tibetan facilities. You know you have done that. There are videos that capture your speech and prove this point. You even had people expelled from monasteries just because they practice Dorje Shugden. Some of the monks you expelled have been in the monastery for over 40 years. Many older monks shed tears because of this.

    Many young educated Tibetans lost confidence in you as they saw the damage the Dorje Shugden ban created and they lose hope. Many have become free thinkers. They reject what you have done. So many people in the west left Buddhism because of the confusion you created with this ban against Dorje Shugden which is immoral.

    You could of had millions of people who practice Dorje Shugden to support, love and follow you, but you scared them away. They are hurt and very disappointed. They loved you and respected you deeply before the ban. It has been 60 years and you have failed to get Tibet back. Your biggest failure is not getting Tibet back after 57 years in exile. Now you are begging China to allow you to return to Tibet to the disappointment of thousands of people who fought for a free Tibet believing in you. So many self-immolated for a free Tibet and now you want Tibet to be a part of China with no referendum from Tibetans. Just like a dictator, you decide on your own. It was your government and you that lost Tibet in the first place. Your policies and style of doing things do not benefit Tibet and Buddhism. You have been the sole ruler of Tibet your whole life and you still have not gotten our country of Tibet back for us. Our families and us are separated. Yet you create more pain by creating a ban to further divide people. Please have compassion.

    No other Buddhist leader has banned or condemned any religion except for you. It looks very bad. You are a Nobel laureate and this is not fitting of a laureate. You should unite people and not separate them by religious differences.

    You said Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi did not do right to the Rohingya people in Myanmar due to religious differences, but you are doing the same thing to the Shugden Buddhists within your own society. There is a parallel in this. You separate the Shugden Buddhists from the others in Tibetan society.

    You have lost so many people who would have loved and supported you. You have lost so much support around the world. The Shugden Buddhists who love you number in the millions. When you are fast losing support from governments and private people, it will not do you well to lose more.

    After you are passed away in the future, the rift you created between the Dorje Shugden and non-Dorje Shugden people will remain for a while and that will be your legacy. Disharmony. You will be remembered for this. Not as a hero but a disharmony creator.

    Dorje Shugden will spread and further grow, but you will be no more as you are a human. No one wishes you bad and in fact we hope you have a long and healthy life, but we have lost so much hope and have so much despair because of you. All the hundreds of Dorje Shugden lamas, tulkus and geshes are maturing and there are hundreds of Dorje Shugden monasteries in Tibet who will not give up Dorje Shugden. You have made a mistake. These hundreds of teachers and teachers to be will spread Dorje Shugden further in the future.

    The gurus that gave us Dorje Shugden as a spiritual practice and you have called these holy gurus wrong and they are mistaken in giving us Dorje Shugden. How can you insult our gurus whom we respect so much? If they can be wrong, then you can be wrong. Then all gurus can be wrong. So no one needs to listen to any guru? You have created this trend. It is not healthy. Your own gurus practiced Dorje Shugden their whole lives. Your own gurus were exemplary and highly learned.

    Dalai Lama you have created so much pain with this ban against so many people due to religion. You are ageing fast. Are you going to do anything about it or stay stubborn, hard and un-moving. You show a smile and preach peace and harmony wherever you go. But will you do the same to your own people? Please rectify the wrong you have done. Please before it is too late. You can create harmony again or you can pass away in the future with this legacy of peace. May you live long and think carefully and admit what was a mistake in having this unethical ban against Dorje Shugden religion.

Contemplate This

.…Instead of turning away people who practise Dorje Shugden, we should be kind to them. Give them logic and wisdom without fear, then in time they give up the ‘wrong’ practice. Actually Shugden practitioners are not doing anything wrong. But hypothetically, if they are, wouldn’t it be more Buddhistic to be accepting? So those who have views against Dorje Shugden should contemplate this. Those practicing Dorje Shugden should forbear with extreme patience, fortitude and keep your commitments. The time will come as predicted that Dorje Shugden’s practice and it’s terrific quick benefits will be embraced by the world and it will be a practice of many beings.
