An intricate tale of how Dorje Shugden arose as a Dharma Protector to protect Lama Tsongkhapa’s teachings on Emptiness. This historical account, based on the writings of His Holiness Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche, spans hundreds of years of Tibetan history.
Starting with a chance encounter between the Dharma Protector Nechung and Lama Tsongkhapa’s main disciple, Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen, the tale culminates with a dramatic showdown during the time of the Great Fifth Dalai Lama and the rise of the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden.

Posted on July 17, 2016 #1 AuthorThank you Pastor Tat Ming for sharing. The video tells the story of how and why Dorje Shugden arose clearly. It provides an insight that the great masters arise based on great compassion, and the Dorje Shugden practice we are practising now is with solid basis and can be traced back to Lord Shakyamuni.
