HH the current Trijang Rinpoche, after repeated requests, has compassionately accepted the multiple invitations to Mongolia. For centuries, Mongolia has been a traditional stronghold of Buddhism and Tsongkhapa’s doctrine. You can see Tsongkhapa’s images and the monks of the tradition dotted all over the country.
HH Trijang Rinpoche being one of the highest tulkus of Tibetan Buddhism naturally has a very strong connection to the land where Genghis Khan had the greatest empire where he once ruled. HH Trijang Rinpoche will be in Mongolia for 3 weeks and this is part of the schedule:
- 11 to 12 Sept: Mongolia National Circus Hall – Yamantaka and Dorje Shugden initiation
- 13 September: private function in Dagom Rinpoche’s Monastery
- 14 September: Gonpo Shelshi initiation and new lama ceremony in Tashi Choekhorling Monastery in Bulgon province
- 15 to 16 September: long life ceremony and new lama ceremony in Amarbayasgalant Monastery
Vajradhara gave forth a set of very profound teachings for the most qualified students that if practiced can confer enlightenment within 16 lifetimes. Within these cycle of teachings are the Vajrabhairava (Yamantaka) cycle of teachings. This is Manjushri in the most ferocious form which confers the collection of our winds into the central channel which results in great bliss. The generation and completion stages of Yamantaka’s practice is extraordinary in that it purifies many lifetimes of mental obscurations and its imprints. The most heinous of negative acts can be purified in one lifetime for diligent practitioners of this path. The Mongolians are very fortunate that HH Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche will be conferring this initiation in Mongolia.
During this time of extreme Kaliyuga where the five degenerations run amok and rule our lives, making Dharma practice extremely rare and difficult, we need an extraordinary and diligent protector. A diligent protector who through prayers and motivation from previous lifetimes emanated specifically in current times to combat the inner and outer Kaliyugas. Protectors who are emanations of high level Buddhas and Bodhisattvas emanate and dissolve as per samsara’s circumstances. In our most degenerate times, highly recommended by both great Sakya and Gelug masters is the World Peace Protector Dorje Shugden, who is none other than Manjushri himself. When we trust and propitiate Dorje Shugden consistently we will see our most adverse circumstances rectified into a situation that benefits our Dharma practice. This supreme and efficacious Dharma protector is “new” within the pantheon of protectors, fulfilling the wishes of sentient beings who during this time are afflicted with the results of their own negative karma which create blocks within their spiritual progress. HH Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche in his skillful compassion has accepted to confer the sogtae (life entrustment empowerment) on the fortunate ones who will attend.
We at DorjeShugden.com sincerely rejoice in Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche conferring the Dorje Shugden sogtae, similar to his predecessor who had conferred sogtae hundreds of times during his lifetime, thus benefiting thousands. Trijang Rinpoche has had a close connection to this Dharma protector Dorje Shugden in countless of his previous incarnations, and is eminently qualified to confer this sogtae. Although there are people who may find this news surprising, we must remember that Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche has reincarnated again and again in perfect form to turn the wheel of Dharma, therefore proving the propitiation of this protector is nothing but beneficial.
This post will continue as we get updates of Trijang Rinpoche’s activities in Mongolia, so please return from time to time to check for updates.

Upon the arrival of His Holiness Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche there was media frenzy. Many national and state media were eagerly awaiting Trijang Rinpoche’s arrival.
The press conference, which was 45 minutes long, was held upon Trijang Rinpoche’s arrival in Mongolia, after which Trijang Rinpoche went to H.H. Guru Deva Rinpoche’s Ladrang
Trijang Rinpoche always travels under heavy security because, as a Dorje Shugden lama, his life is in constant danger. He and his entourage are the targets of death threats and violence from anti-Shugden supporters of the Tibetan leadership. Knowing this, his sponsors sent a bulletproof car to pick up and chauffeur Trijang Rinpoche.
Notice in the background the police car sent to protect Trijang Rinpoche and his entourage, as the Mongolians take his security very seriously.

On his way to meet H.H. Guru Deva Rinpoche, the entire route was cleared for Kyabje Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche’s convoy. They were also given a police escort from the Mongolian government. This was done not just because of their respect for him, but also because of security concerns for Trijang Rinpoche’s life.

Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche is currently in Mongolia to give teachings and initiations on Yamantaka and Dorje Shugden. His visit has been highlighted on NTV, one of Mongolia’s national TV channels. At the airport, Trijang Rinpoche was greeted not only by a media frenzy, but in the traditional manner with incense and escorted by security to his bulletproof car.
Trijang Rinpoche granted a private audience to some Mongolian students and friends
Trijang Rinpoche enjoys a warm spiritual friendship with many Mongolians who are strong practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism and rely on Dorje Shugden

This very old Dorje Shugden statue is from the 8th Khalka Jetsun Dhampa Rinpoche, the highest reincarnated lama in Mongolia.
Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche can easily be close to Dalai Lama, take hundreds of pictures with Dalai Lama, be seen with Dalai Lama on many occasions, attend all pujas and events with Dalai Lama in Dharamsala and many other countries. For sure this will catapult him to greater and much bigger fame, sponsorship, bigger name, praise and acceptance. Yet Trijang Rinpoche does not succumb to any of this. He is not in the least bit tempted.
Trijang Rinpoche’s life is surrounded by security as death threats are commonplace. His students are beaten (Gen Chonzey-la), his ladrangs are razed to the ground, he must stay in hiding, they burn his previous writings, denounce him, he cannot visit Ganden Monastery in South India (his home), he is badmouthed by thousands of people and many have turned against him. Many have turned against him to get on the CTA’s good side and the Tibetan leadership’s good side. Many have abandoned him and say only negative things about him now and his previous incarnation. They even trample on his picture and forget the kindness of his previous incarnations. Yet Trijang Rinpoche never sways against Dorje Shugden and his loyalty to Dorje Shugden is steadfast.
Dorje Shugden has been helping/assisting Trijang Rinpoche for lifetimes and they have this intimate relationship and Trijang Rinpoche will stand by his ‘friend’ even under such DIFFICULT AND HAZARDOUS CIRCUMSTANCES. Amazing show of how genuine Trijang Rinpoche truly is. It is through trial and tribulation we can see the essence of refined gold which is Trijang Rinpoche’s spirituality. Trijang Rinpoche is amazingly loyal and steadfast. And no obstacles or bad opinion changes his mind, loyalty and practice against Dorje Shugden. Trijang Rinpoche endures so much with grace, dignity and strength. This is really a quality that comes through proving his real tulku-ship. He is a real tulku with imprints from his previous life opening now. The imprints of his attainments and practice.
This is the real Trijang Rinpoche, who teaches us Dharma through enacting true loyalty and appreciation. Inspiring. He never gives up and the horrible conditions he has had to live through for the last twenty years would crack a lesser person. What an inspiration. We should never give up our guru, practice and deity no matter what obstacles come to our mind real or we deem real.

Rejoice for the people who able to receive such a precious initiation from HH Trijang Rinpoche. The truth will always win no matter how bad it looks like for now. There are many high rank Rinpoche out there continue to spread the teachings for the sake of all beings who are thirst of dharma who are needed this to purify our karma in order to practice further and at the end achieve enlightenment. Such a precious teachings it cannot be cover up by just some unreasonable ban. The pure Dharma will continue as long as we will never give up on Dorje Shugden.

Just look at the welcome Trijang Rinpoche receives in Mongolia! This is the sort of welcome suitable for such a great master. It’s really a shame because you don’t see this sort of welcome for Trijang Rinpoche and other high lamas who practice Dorje Shugden in areas where there are predominately Buddhists who are culturally Tibetan as they most often than not follow the so called “advice” of the Dalai Lama, which is in fact an all out ban on the practice of Dorje Shugden.
Trijang Rinpoche is keeping the practices received from his Gurus strongly, and is continuing his previous life’s work preserving the Dharma and the Gelug tradition in particular. I rejoice for those who are able to receive these holy teachings from him directly, may they be blessed by Manjushri in the form the Yidam Yamantaka and also in the form of the great Wisdom Protector Dorje Shugden.

May the dharma spread far and wide in Mongolia. The Tibetans who oppose Dorje Shugden well they are not fortunate enough to know the True qualities of Trijang Dorjechang. We all know Trijang Rinpoche will spread Je Tsongkhapa’s tradition far and wide.

The tulku tradition is extremely important in the Tibetan tradition. Great tulkus always return to do great works again and again. He can just abandon his practice, responsibilities and teaching being a young man in America. But he does not showing his strong imprints of a great being. How many young men his age would do what he does. We all believe in reincarnation. Any meditative success we achieve is stored within our mind therefore carried with us from lifetime to lifetime. We all must reincarnate, but tulkus reincarnate with their meditative achievements and start ahead.

We can see Trijang Rinpoche is not afraid of CTA. He is openly teaching and giving sogtae (empowerment) of Dorje Shugden. Penpa Tsering of Tibetan Parliament said Trijang Rinpoche’s current incarnation amounted to nothing due to his Shugden practice. Looks like Penpa Tsering of CTA is wrong and looking very silly for his nasty comments about Trijang Rinpoche.

Dharma is alive due to Trijang Rinpoche initiating people into Tantra and Protector practices. From what we see the Mongolians are very spiritual people, they treat Trijang Rinpoche like how Buddha would have been treated in the olden days. Trijang Dorjechang in the past always gave a lot of initiations and empowerments in his previous life, as I remembered correctly he was giving such empowerments non stop and benefitting sentient beings.

September 12, 2014
Now that Trijang Rinpoche is giving the initiation of Shugden openly, this will defy CTA. CTA can do nothing about it. This will also inspire or motivate more lamas to come out with their practice and do it openly. The time is coming now soon where more and more of the practice of Shugden becomes open AND ACCEPTED.
CTA’s unconvincing reasoning against Shugden is not making any sense and only creating more division among Buddhists and Tibetans. We need unity not divisions. Soon CTA has to fall as their policies and practices are damaging and not helpful to anyone not even themselves.

From what I read, this is the first time! I particularly like the HUGE Dorje 26 feet Dorje Shugden thangka. I pray the ban to be lifted very soon and we all can have such huge thangka everywhere!
However, it is very sad to see that HH Trijang Rinpoche needs so many bodyguards because the anti Dorje Shugden people are constantly threatening the life of Dorje Shugden lamas. Such a shame, the students of the Nobel Prize winner are promoting violence. Such ironic.

The good news is Dorje Shugden practice is spreading.
The bad news is CTA (Ex-Tibetan Govt in Dharamsala) are still instigating violence, bias and ban against Shugden practitoners. High profile Shugden people need bodyguards and protection because CTA instigates violence against them always. Within the exiled Tibetan communities, there is no democracy or freedom at all.

Such a good news that Trijang Rinpoche is travelling to Mongolia again. This time, giving DS initiation to public. Pabongka Rinpoche gave all his precious teachings to the previous Trijang Rinpoche before he passed away, Trijang Rinpoche is the lineage holder of many practices, such a precious Jewel. CTA can say and do what they can, but Dharma under the protection of Dorje Shugen continues to grow. I hope the ban will be lifted soon and those who has been saying bad things, doing bad things to DS practitioners and Lama shall keep their mouth shut. Respect each other and do your chosen practice diligently, no point yelling and bad-mouthing others.

This is the kind of reception that is accorded to a head of state visit minus the march pass; Bullet proof limo, police escort, live coverage on national TV, interview by the media upon arrival. Mongolians have so much merits to be able to receive Trijang Rinpoche in such manner. I am sure Trijang Rinpoche receives many invitations of such nature. I pray that Trijang Rinpoche will accept the invitations and if Taiwan is one of them, I will definitely be the first in line! May people all over the world be able to see Trijang Rinpoche’s holy body and hear his holy speech.

Rejoice to see HH Trijang Rinpoche giving Yamantaka initiation and Sogtae to the multitudes in Mongolia. Tonight Mongolians are on of the most luckiest people on this planet.
I still say the Dalai Lama knew HH Trijang Dorje Chang will one day be a beacon for Dorje Shugden practitioners, yet he allowed Trijang Rinpoche to do Dorje Shugden practice on video as well.
Kelsang Jigme
September 13, 2014
To Eli,
I agree with you when you say the Dalai Lama knew Trijang Rinpoche would be a beacon for all Dorje Shugden practitioners. It was predicted decades back by the previous Trijang Rinpoche to his close disciples that we should not disrespect the Dalai Lama when he puts a ban on Shugden practice. As Trijang Rinpoche and Dalai Lama will work to bring Shugden to be well known into the world. It seems the opposite, but actually they are working together. The current Trijang Rinpoche never speaks one negative word against the Dalai Lama and never engages in talk against the Dalai Lama. That says a lot and good example for all of us. To protest peacefully against Dalai Lama is just the opportunity to bring Shugden to the masses, but we should never call Dalai Lama by foul names or be rude or be belligerent. After all if we act this way towards a Buddhist monk, we encourage others to act this way to other Buddhist monks and nuns. We set the example. The Dalai Lama has ‘set himself’ up in this way according to prophecy to bring Shugden to the world.

Such a wonderful opportunity to be blessed. Despite having known that doing this will threaten HH Trijang Rinpoche’s life, Trijang Rinpoche still came all the way to Mongolia. It is as see in the pictures that Trijang Rinpoche received a grand welcome by the Mongolians and also the amount of people who attended both the Yamantaka and Dorje Shdgen clear shows the faith they have in both of these Dharma Protectors. May Dorje Shudgen practice expand and flourish to every corner of the world.

September 15, 2014
As I read about this grand, historical moment, a few thoughts come to mind:
1) This is just the beginning! From this point onwards, there will be countless Dorje Shugden sogtae and other powerful and pure Dharma teachings of Lord Buddha that H.H Trijang Rinpoche will be giving.
Trijang Rinpoche’s previous incarnation was a renowned teacher acknowledged for the vital role he played as the junior tutor of the Dalai Lama as well as being the pillar of wisdom, compassion and strength which enables the Dharma to remain intact after the Chinese invasion. Together with great masters like Zong Rinpoche (http://www.dorjeshugden.com/great-masters/recent-masters/zong-rinpoche-lobzang-tsondru-tubten-gyeltsen/), Trijang Rinpoche rebuilt the entire Tibetan community and cauased the growth of Buddhadharma in the Western world.
With the great accomplishments of his previous life, it can be “karmically expected” for the current incarnation of this great teacher will only do more at a grander scale.
2) The Chinese have been accused and criticized for restricting human rights to freedom of religion. However, based on the videos and article as well as the recent record of increasing freedom of Dharma activities in various parts of China, we should review our judgment. Additionally, nations like Tibet that were once religious and spiritual havens should learn a thing or two from their neighbor. Firstly, realize that the ban on Dorje Shugden is a direct conflict to human rights to religious freedom that ultimately discredits the Dalai Lama and the Budhadharma, which is the last thing we need during thie period of kaliyuga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali_Yuga) . Anti-Dorje Shugden groups should open their eyes and see how harmful the ban is actually for their leader (the Dalai Lama), the CTA and themselves.
3) I rejoice to see a great teacher like Trijang Rinpoche teach in such a large scale. On top of that, it is encouraging to witness the appreciation for the precious teachings by the Mongolian organizers and students, which is reflected in the care and effort put into arranging a huge and grand event, including bullet proof car and police escort. Respect and gratitude for the teachings is important because they create the causes for our teachers to keep teaching and for the dharma to grow.

Trijang Rinpoche is out now to spread the Dharma far and wide without being afraid of the CTA. He is going on forward with what his predecessor have been doing and continuing it. Trijang Rinpoche is allowing this visit to be publicised worldwide is a leap for DS practitioners. We have a leader who is leading us.

Rejoice for the entire population of Mongolia. Irrespective of they are ordained, lay practitioner or even non practitioners, they had received the blessing of the three jewels & dharma seeds planted in their mind stream by the forth most Tulkus of the Tibetan Buddhism & a highly attained Lama of the Gelug tradition which stamp from the Dharma King Lama Tsongkhapa himself.
Because of H.H. Trijang Rinpoche pure lineage practice, loyalty, steadfastness & reliance on the Dorje Shugden practice, he has never affected by anyone or setback in his life but maintained full conviction & devotions to his guru & practices at all time. This makes that even just by hearing, seeing & being in his presence is a great inspiration to one practice & earns much great merits & blessing.
I truly rejoice for the mongolian people who has met him & received his blessing. May H.H. Trijang Rinpohce has good health & long life to continue turning the Dharma Wheel.

Even with the strong ban by the CTA on Dorje Shugden practice in Tibet, this does not hinder the Dorje Shugden practitioners in the world to lose faith in the said protector. Despite death threats being received and killing of Dorje Shugden’s practitioners by the CTA, Trijang Rinpoche is not at all bothered with it but instead continued to travel to Mongolia , to spread and give the Mongolians the Dorje Shugden initiation. Certainly the Mongolians must have a lot of merits in order for them to meet with the high Tulku, Trijang Rinpoche and also to receive the precious dharma in this degenerate era. May the ban be lifted soonest possible so that more will be able to benefit from it.

It is indeed very great news that HH Trijang Rinpoche has started to give public initiation of Dorje Shugden. It is definitely a significant step in the positive direction of the spread of the Protector practice. There is nothing the HHDL and the CTA can do in this case. Cheers to that. But most importantly, a Lama of Trijang Rinpoche’s standing will definitely cause the Protector practice to spread far and wide to benefit beings of this age.

In this Kaliyuga time the 5 degenerations:
- degeneration of life-span, like the shortening of the length of life;
- degeneration of time, such as the decline in the quality of things, wars and famines proliferate;
- degeneration of disturbing emotions, the five poisons increase – desire, anger, ignorance, pride and jealousy;
- degeneration of views, wrong views proliferate and false beliefs spread;
- degeneration of experience, like the decline in physical form, intellect, good health and so on;
are making Dharma practice extremely rare and difficult.
How great to receive teachings and initiations from H.H. Trijang Rinpoche!
I rejoice for everyone who is blessed to get in touch with Dorje Shugden.
May the ban be lifted soon

Trijang Rinpoche would gladly take the more difficult road, despite all the threats of to his life even when he was a young boy in Gaden Monastery. Trijang Dorje Chang who was the Chandra the Charioteer, was loyal to Buddha Shakyamuni as he brought the to be Buddha out from the palace.
He was loyal then and he is loyal today to Dorje Shugden and what a journey it has been for Chandra. Many lifetimes of benefitting others up till today.

Rejoicing in the wonderful activities of His Holiness Kaybe Trijang Chogtrul Dorjechang Choje Rinpoche whom I was very fortunate to meet in Switzerland for Losar 2003 when Buddha Shakyamuni’s relics were on tour, also greatly rejoicing in the good fortune of Mongolia to receive empowerments and teachings from precious Living Buddha, Dharma Jewel, I live in Shanghai, and recently befriended a Spanish Dorje Shugden practitioner, also before moving to Shanghai (in 2004) was given advice by Guru Deva Rinpoche who prayed for all obstacles removed and make the transition smooth –
PRAYERS WORKED! MILLION THANKS!
I had no idea Guru Deva Rinpoche had a son, has Guru Deva Rinpoche’s precious reincarnation been discovered? COME BACK SOON! Would love to meet more precious masters, everybody welcome to Shanghai, my Tibetan virtually non existent, I speak Chinese & can translate simply Chinese & English, I’m also a native Polish speaker, & pray for the dharma to flourish in the homeland of my ancestors- any news on that?

The Mongolian people are truly blessed to receive Yamantaka and Dorje Shugden empowerment from H.H.Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche, who teaches us Dharma through enacting true loyalty and appreciation. Inspiring. He never gives up and the horrible conditions he has had to live through for the last twenty years would crack a lesser person. What an inspiration. We should never give up our guru, practice and deity no matter what obstacles come to our mind real or we deem real.
Thank you dorjeshugden.com for these beautiful updates.

This is a very interesting read at this point in time as the Dalai Lama is due to visit Mongolia this week – http://www.scmp.com/news/asia/article/2047038/dalai-lama-visit-mongolia-possibly-sparking-chinas-anger
Mongolia has such strong ties with Dorje Shugden as can be seen at Amarbayasgalant Monastery. It was wonderful to see all these pictures of Trijang Rinpoche in Mongolia. So very many came to welcome and listen to Trijang Rinpoche, keeping faith with him and connecting with such a high lama.
I hope this trip by the Dalai Lama will not create problems for the Mongolian Buddhists.
