Dharma Protector practice is central to Vajrayana Buddhism and is the third of the Three Roots, which is a refuge formulation in Tibetan Buddhism. The other two are the Guru and the Yidam. Within Tibetan Buddhism, Dorje Shugden is the most recent Dharma Protector to arise, with the specific purpose of protecting Lama Tsongkhapa’s teachings on Emptiness. He is regarded as a wrathful emanation of Manjushri.

Posted on September 7, 2016 #1 AuthorDharmapala practice, while not the main Buddha Dharma practice, is nevertheless a significant practice in this degenerated age. This is due to sentient beings’ inherent negative karma accumulated from timeless beginnings.
