What I like about the article is that it gives a very neutral point in view of the ban. Instead, if we should be practicing Dorje Shugden or not, there are factual information to allow readers to know that what is being written is not something that is just being said out of the blue by the author, but instead it has prove that indeed high lamas do practice Dorje Shugden and there are lamas from the Sakya tradition that advises other to practice Dorje Shugden practices.

One very significant instance, when Dorje Shugden gave His support and protection, was in the case of the escape of Trijang Dorjechang, HH Dalai Lama and their entourage to India. Here, Dorje Shugden, through his oracle, advised them to immediately leave Tibet for India. He also showed the route they were to take, as well as guaranteed their safety (by their holding His sword at the head of the column of the entourage).

It is most important to realize that Dharma Protectors have great power to help practitioners only if we have great faith and conviction in them, and rely on them with “continuous, unwavering protection”.

Buddhas, like Manjushri, have manifested in the form of various Dharma Protectors. Manjushri has manifested as four-faced Mahakala, Kalarupa and Dorje Shugden. Thus Dorje Shugden is an emanated form of Manjushri, who is the embodiment of the wisdom of all Buddhas.

There is no difference in the compassion, wisdom or power of the various enlightened Dharma protectors, but because of the karma of sentient beings, one particular Dharma Protector will have a greater opportunity to help Dharma practitioners at any one particular time.

From the time of Je Tsongkhapa up to the first Panchen Lama, Losang Chokyi Gyaltsan, the principal Dharma Protector of Je Tsongkhapa’s lineage was Kalarupa. However, as the manner and time of the arising of the uncommon supramundane Dharmapala Dorje Shugden shows, Dorje Shugden is the Dharma Protector of this tradition that we have to rely on now.
As the Kagyu Master, Morchen Dorjechang Kunga Lhundrup told his disciples, “ Now is the time to rely upon Dorje Shugden”. The beings of today have a stronger karmic link with Dorje Shugden than with other Dharma Protectors. Dorje Shugden arose as an uncommon Dharma Protector to protect Je Tsongkapa’s teachings, especially his teachings on Nargajuna’s Middle View on Emptiness, which had been taught with unexcelled clarity by him. Beings of today (mired in great delusions of the mind and distractions) especially need to receive these teachings and to practice them in order to be totally liberated from samsara and suffering.

May there be many more websites to come, educating people on the benefits of the great DS!
