Wisdom Buddha Dorje Shugden’s Two Functions

Wisdom Buddha Dorje Shugden

The function of a Dharma protector is to arrange all outer and inner conditions so that everything that happens to us is perfect for our swiftest possible enlightenment. But Dorje Shugden is more than just a Dharma protector, he is also a wisdom Buddha.

It is not enough to just know that the outer and inner conditions of our lives are perfect for enlightenment, but to be able to take full advantage of these conditions we need to understand and realize directly how (or in what way) they are indeed perfect.

When we have the wisdom which realizes how our conditions are perfect, then we can fully take advantage of them and move most swiftly towards enlightenment. The blessings of Dorje Shugden bestows upon us this wisdom of realizing how the conditions he has emanated for us are in fact perfect. Then, we are not only happy with everything but can use everything most effectively to advance along the path.

When we realize the emptiness of inherent existence, then we realize that Dorje Shugden’s power is not limited to just arranging perfect conditions for ourselves and bestowing upon ourselves the wisdom to realize how our conditions are perfect, but we can also invoke him to accomplish the same blessings for each and every living being.

We pray to him so that he can arrange all outer and inner conditions for each and every being so that whatever happens to them will be perfect for their attainment of enlightenment. He can then bestow upon us the wisdom that sees directly how whatever arises is in fact perfect for the attainment of enlightenment. Then, we can share the wisdom we have acquired with others, helping them towards the bliss of full enlightenment.

From our perspective, Dorje Shugden is the same being as the wisdom Buddha Manjushri. Manjushri appears in two aspects, as Je Tsongkhapa to lead us along the path and as Dorje Shugden to arrange all the suitable conditions for our practice. It is therefore impossible to reject one without rejecting the other two.

Since we agree that Manjushri and Je Tsongkhapa are perfectly reliable Buddhas and Dorje Shugden is for us just a different aspect of the same being so Dorje Shugden is also perfectly reliable. We cannot reject him without rejecting the others. Since we cannot reject the others, we cannot reject him.

  3. “We pray to him so that he can arrange all outer and inner conditions for each and every being so that whatever happens to them will be perfect for their attainment of enlightenment. From our perspective, Dorje Shugden is the same being as the wisdom Buddha Manjushri.“

    Manjushri is a Bodhisavatta and he relies the vow and blessing of Buddha as teacher to liberate beings both holy and common beings to the Amitabha Land of Ultimate Bliss. Therefore, Shugen cant arrange all outer and inner conidtions for each beings, but his wisdom acquired from Buddha and bodhisavatta liberated himself to be Dorje Shugden. So, to develop a favourable outer and inner conditions, followers of Dorje Shugden have to practice in accordance with the practice of Dorje Shugden who based upon Buddha Shakyamuni teachings. Only then, you would be blessed according to your level of understanding and practice. And this blessing comes from yourself, the power within. The only tradition that has the complete blessing of Buddha is the tradition of Pureland Amitabha who does not require elimination of defilements but containing it and bring to the land of ultimate bliss to be with Manjushri among other bodhisavattas to learn together with Buddha for complete actualization of Buddhahood, speedily and swiftly.

    These websites seemed to contain alot of misconception complaints against others that might develop psychologically benefiting followers and supporters of Dorje Shugden only, through demeaning others. Buddha, Dorje Shugden and Budddism never resort to such unfavourable teachings to impress upon others.

    May all understand, cultivate and develop peace and blessing together for the benefit of all.

Contemplate This

.…Instead of turning away people who practise Dorje Shugden, we should be kind to them. Give them logic and wisdom without fear, then in time they give up the ‘wrong’ practice. Actually Shugden practitioners are not doing anything wrong. But hypothetically, if they are, wouldn’t it be more Buddhistic to be accepting? So those who have views against Dorje Shugden should contemplate this. Those practicing Dorje Shugden should forbear with extreme patience, fortitude and keep your commitments. The time will come as predicted that Dorje Shugden’s practice and it’s terrific quick benefits will be embraced by the world and it will be a practice of many beings.
