Dear friends,
There has been a lot of debate in regards to the practice of Dorje Shugden. However, rather than involving ourselves in the arguments posited by either side, perhaps we should come to a conclusion on Dorje Shugden and his practice through our own study of the issue.
His Holiness Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche was an eminent scholar and meditation master whose works were of the highest caliber. As junior tutor and spiritual guide to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Trijang Rinpoche is directly or indirectly the lineage lama for practically the entire Gelugpa tradition as it exists today and as such, extremely relevant to any contemporary Gelugpa practitioner.
It is with this mind that we are presenting to you a complete volume written by Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche. The volume contains the practice, lineage, rituals, benefits and rites related to Dorje Shugden and his entourage. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche would not have put in this much effort into writing a whole volume if Dorje Shugden was just a spirit. Obviously from Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche’s writings in this scholarly volume, he did not consider Dorje Shugden to be anything except enlightened.
Thank you,
DorjeShugden.com

Recipients
The following individuals were sent an actual copy of this text. 61 physical copies of all 556 pages were mailed out to various recipients around the world. Our only motivation was, and always has been, to clear the darkness of ignorance surrounding Dorje Shugden’s true nature, background, history, origin and practice.
We will soon be sending out 350 CD copies of the same text, which people can play on their computer or print out as they like. We wish that everyone can share in and learn from this precious teaching, authored by none other than Kyabje Trijang Dorje Chang, a direct student of His Holiness Pabongka Rinpoche and the junior tutor of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
For those who do not read Tibetan, they can consult their lamas and friends for help with understanding this text. In any case, having such a text on their altar is a great blessing, having been composed by such an erudite scholar and containing practices that will lead to our ultimate liberation from suffering.

Everyone should read this erudite and scholarly volume on Dorje Shugden’s history, practice and benefits. It was written by H.H. Trijang Rinpoche himself. Many anti-Shugden people speak from ignorance and reading this text would be very eye-opening. How wonderful it can be downloaded for free on this website. dorjeshugden.com’s team is amazing and incredibly generous. Thank you for all your contributions. Thank you for mailing this to various people who could make a difference and providing this volume for all of us.

I’ve downloaded my copy to offer my guru who is an incredible devotee of Dorje Shugden. I can’t read this, but will keep a copy on my shrine as a blessing. Easy to print out. I will also get some silk to wrap the downloaded texts into to look more traditional. I am sure my teacher will be pleased. Thank you for providing this.

What a really wonderful idea to spread the teaching this way. This will make people understand, I think, better, that Dorje Shugden is an emation of Manjusrhi since it is from the Master Trijang Rinpoche.

The Third Trijang Rinpoche, Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso (1901–1981) was a Gelug Lama and a direct disciple of Pabongkhapa Déchen Nyingpo. He was the junior tutor and spiritual guide of the 14th Dalai Lama for forty years. He is also the root lama of many Gelug Lamas who teach in the West including Zong Rinpoche, Geshe Rabten, Lama Yeshe, Lama Gangchen Rinpoche. A great number of present-day Tibetan Buddhist masters are his students.

There is definitely no doubt on DS practice as this has been taught by Trijang Rinpoche, high lama like this caliber will never have faults. Trijang Rinpoche must have saw something very special in this protector, putting down all details in lengthy traditional text, so that the traditions can be carried on. For those still have doubts, please read the text, when we have knowledge, all doubts will be clear. We should not just listen to hearsay and rumours, due to ignorance it hinders our practise and creating direct cause harming others, creating lots of bad karma.

It would have been against Kyabje Trijang Dorje Chang’s vows to spread a practise and teachings that would harm his disciples and students. But since Trijang Rinpoche dedicated so much of his time to writing and teaching about Dorje Shugden, then it must be beneficial for his disciples and students to practise. If people doubt this text written by Trijang Rinpoche, then the Lamrim, the bible of Buddhism to modern day practitioners, is also questionable, because it was edited by Trijang Rinpoche. But since people use the Lamrim on the path towards enlightenment then it proves that this writing of Trijang Rinpoche on Dorje Shugden holds just as much truth and substance.
Thank you for all the work behind this, It is a brilliant idea, and lots of resources and effort put into it. Thank you for making it available to people like myself too! May it contribute towards the lifting of the ban and may the truth prevail!

HH Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche, a junior tutor and spiritual guide to HH the 14th Dalai Lama, a highly renown Rinpoche, would dedicate so much of His time to write down the teachings of DS, in order to spread this holy and sacred teachings to many people out there; if He would do such thing, then DS must not be en evil spirit. If DS is, then why would HH Trijang Rinpoche spend so much effort and time in this? Unless He is wrong. For those that receive this holy texts and teachings of DS, they are very fortunate and blessed. What a way to spread DS and to reach out to more people.

It is definitely a blessing! His Holiness Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche is a direct disciple of the great Pabongka Rinpoche and he edited Pabongka Rinpoche’s Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand – one of the most studied Lam Rim texts in the Gelugpa lineage. And now this volume that contains the practice, lineage, rituals, benefits and rites related to Dorje Shugden and his entourage is also one of the most important and holy texts. If Dorje Shugden is a spirit, HH Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche would not have spent so much time and effort protecting the Gelug tradition and Dorje Shugden. This complete volume will help many ignorant minds to understand the truth about Dorje Shugden and that the lineage is pure and the practice is authentic!

Those people all along have the wrong view about Dorje Shugden should download a copy, read it careful and understand it. This is important to clear the doubt and correct the wrong view. Now is already reach the time to contemplate deeper to correct the wrong view if we have. It is really a blessing that we can have the opportunity to read this erudite whereby written by HH Trijang Rinpoche. I also wish to extend my gratitude to DS. Com to share this public. Once again hope more and more people are now clear and confident about the Shugden lineage.

Just downloaded and read some..love this part:
“Wrong assertions”
Not understanding such important points, some, who have fallen under the
influence of the demon of partisanship, think and say that this supreme deity, the
great emanated Dharmapala, is no different than an ordinary gyalpo or tsen spirit
who has an inferior form as a result of being a monk or lay person who died with
bad karma. Leave aside relying upon him as a protector, they even deride others
who do so. There are some, indeed, who echo such claims knowing nothing about
it. Yet all this talk is nothing but babbling speculation. Why? Because this great
guardian of the teachings is well known to be the precious supreme emanation
from Drepung monastery’s upper house, Dragpa Gyaltsen, arising in a wrathful
aspect. The proof is unmistaken….

Again, the hardworking people behind this must be applauded for their researches and documents to present facts for all to read and understand. Not to mention having to wrap and post these materials all over the world so more people can have the knowledge and opine for themselves why the ban by the Dalai Lama is legally and morally justifiable. I opine the ban must be lifted.

Having this complete text by Trijang Rinpoche available during this degenerate time is truly a blessing!! As it is said that just having the holy scripture touch our head is a precious gift.
The core of the Gelugpa lineage of Lama Tsongkhapa is the elimination of suffering through wisdom which is developed with gaining knowledge. What better manner to gain knowledge and understanding about the than through the words of wisdom directly from Trijang Rinpoche himself!
Thank you DS.com for making this mail out that is like shedding light in the darkness that shrouds the Dorje Shugden ban.

Wonderful way to spread Dharma and create the connection with Dorje Shugden. Thank you admin and all the people who taken time to produce this for the benefit of many, may Dorje Shugden practice ban be lifted very soon, and the ignorance be clear of their wrong view.

This is just such great news that these holy texts are being sent out to many in the world so that they would think and understand. Dorje Shugden is not a demon, but indeed an enlightened protector. What is the reason behind for composing such a long text if Dorje Shugden is a demon? Why would a high lama waste precious time like this?
Through that it only shows that Dorje Shugden is an enlightened protector of our time, through his practices it would help liberate us.

Thank you, ds.com for your generosity in gifting these volumes which contains the practice, lineage, rituals, benefits and rites related to Dorje Shugden and his entourage. This will surely bless many just with the sight of these holy writings on Dorje Shugden.
It will also benefit many who can now start to learn from the direct texts of Kaybje Trijang Rinpoche. It will be tremendous blessing to learn directly from the written works of a great master.
Keep up the good work, Admin. You are surely benefiting many all your works in the website and gifting books like these.
