If a Buddha image or statue can plant the seeds of enlightenment and bless all who see it, so can a Buddha pendant! And what if it is a Dorje Shugden Buddha pendant? Then the pendant instantly becomes a powerful form of protection against negative “energies”, charms and unwanted disturbances. And because Dorje Shugden is Manjushri, you also receive the blessings of Manjushri’s sharp and clear wisdom mind.
Wearing a Dorje Shugden pendant exudes blessings which can trigger many Dharmic imprints that propel us in our spiritual practice. And apart from being blessed ourselves, it also blesses and plants the seeds of enlightenment in the consciousness of those who see our pendant; even animals, insects and unseen beings.
Sometimes, wearing a Buddha pendant can even save one’s life, as it is not uncommon to hear tales about Dorje Shugden’s swiftness in coming to one’s aid. So we can conclude that this is no ordinary Buddha pendant because it is Manjushri in the form of a Dharma Protector, and therefore any pendant of Dorje Shugden has the double blessings of both a Buddha as well as a Protector.
Wearing a Buddha pendant is also a wonderful way of expressing our spiritual faith and beliefs. It reminds us of our aspirations to gain spiritual attainments of the highest order; the qualities of the particular Buddha. We should wear it around our necks proudly and even show it off!
Wearing a Dorje Shugden pendant close to one’s heart also creates a connection to this dharma protector, who will lovingly guide and protect you through thick and thin in your spiritual journey. What’s amazing is that unlike many non-enlightened protectors, Dorje Shugden has vowed to continuously hold and guide us from this life to the next, until we achieve the awakened Bodhicitta mind. Isn’t that something you want close to your heart? See more beautiful and blessed pendants here.

I have one of these— well it is stainless steel but I got it from VajraSecrets from Tsem Tulku’s Kechara organization. I love wearing it because it helps me focus on my favorite Buddha Dorje Shugden, and I feel like it will keep helping my and other’s minds imprint all day, which automatically helps all living beings. It is very blessed to have one of these.

I love wearing Buddha pendants !! I find it so meaningful to use them to “assesorize” my daily wear. That is the mundane intention. But I am aware they have so many more higher aspirations and reasons for wearing them now. Thank you for sharing . Love the design of the Dorje Shugden Buddha pendant.

Wearing Buddha pendant not only brings blessing and protection to the person wearing it but it helps to plant seed for those who see the Buddha image, be it Dorje Shugden or Manjushri or Shakyamuni.

Is very nice to wear a Buddha pendant because it is very practical piece of jewelry that is nice and yet can give us protection, and most important to plant seed into others who see this holy image of Buddha.

Wearing a Buddha pendant is definitely beautiful. Not only that you can use that as a decorative accessory for your looks, but the benefits that comes together is surely a lot as well.
It will keep you blessed and help you to calm ur mind when you are in places that make you feel uncomfortable. It helps to bless all beings that cross paths with the holy image.
By wearing the pendant around your neck it is great as well. Reason being that it means that you keep whichever deity that you are wearing close to your heart literally.

Buddha pendants besides looking pretty, blessing others who set eyes on them, protect the bearer , it also serves as a reminder for Buddhists practitioners to put their Dharma into practice. The practice of Lojong has to be consistent. The practice of Guru Devotion. Be aware of the 8 wordly concerns. The Wheel of Sharp Weapons are profound for us. Take heed on what is in the Lamrin too and use it in our daily lives !

If knowing a powerful government official can offer protections against worldly troubles, certainly connecting with a Buddha can offer protections against negativities, be physical or mental.
If further, we propitiate the Protector/Buddha daily in the prescribed way, it is like we have a direct physical connection to the deity and will certainly create power connections and the protection comes in this manner. Since, the Buddhas resides in every single atoms, there are pervasive and omnipresent, the protection is instant and all pervasive.
Whether one believe or not is not the most important, like one do not know how medicine works, but taking the medicine will still cure the disease; Buddhas in any form will definitely alleviate our negativities if we just connect with them. At least we must take the medicine.

This is a really stylish pendant that offers protection against negativities and ill fate. The blessed pendant also has this special energy that attracts people regardless of their faith. I believe it is the human nature to be drawn to something good.
This pendant makes a great gift as accessory and can also be hung in the car to protect driver and passenger from accidents and other disturbances when on the road.

I love this pendant! I’ve purchased the round one and have been wearing it for the longest time. I’m not a pendant or necklace person but this is an exception! It’s stylish and sleek, and the pendant provides protection too!
This is a great ‘invention’, now everyone can wear this pendant to whichever places they may go, carrying the blessings all around.

These pendants are nicely done and fashionable. It blesses people who have a glance of it as well as the person who wears it. It also comes in handy when we need to set up a temporary altar too! This is definitely a beautiful gift that keeps our loved ones protected.

Although I am not someone who likes to wear accessories other than a pair of stud earrings, I love my Dorje Shugden pendants as I feel safe and confident with this powerful and compassionate Protector close to my heart. Especially when I have important meetings, travelling on long journeys or going to some unfamiliar places, wearing my Buddha pendant is a must. At the same time, it creates imprints in anyone who sees the Buddha image. May these seeds implanted ripen swiftly in the future.
This article helped me to realise the other benefits of wearing our Buddha pendants especially Protector Dorje Shugden who comes to our aid the instant we need help. How wonderful!

I like how the article informs that the image of Buddhas bless and plants seeds of enlightenment and so wearing a pendant of Dorje Shugden is encouraged.
The visual of Dorje Shugden also acts as a reminder of one’s aspiration to Buddhahood and so wearing a pendant ensures that one does not lose sight of the aspirations.
I think it also help one maintain a physical closeness and connection to Dorje Shugden all the time when one wears the pendant. So, Dorje Shugden can, in more ways than one, give swift assistance.
And, the pendants in the pictures are very beautiful.

What will the all the people around the world and in Tibet do now? Dalai Lama says he is happy that Tibet is a part of China and should remain a part of China. So many Tibetans self-immolated for Tibet to be independent and now Dalai Lama did a 360 degree turn and says he wants to go back to Tibet and China and Tibet should be a part of China. So unbelievable. So many are angry and disappointed.
Dalai Lama should set things right
August 12, 2018
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.
