The time has come. Dorje Shugden is going global now. No government, no religious body, no religious persons, no gossip, no wrong views and no politics will stop the emergence of Dorje Shugden as a global spiritual force. It grows daily.
Watch and observe.
There are many billions who have never heard of the Shugden ban or good or bad therefore unaffected. They will be ripe to recieve Shugden.
As in tantra, you take the fruit onto the path to gain the results. You visualize, believe, surrender, let go and accept you are the Yidam. In time with practice, transformation, purification, collection of merits you do become the Yidam. You become Enlightened. The whole point of Tantra is to expedite the results by using the results on the path now immediately.
Similarily, we will wish, pray, create merits, visualize and work towards the flowering of this global force known as Shugden who will be the most famous Tibetan enlightened Deity in time. We will see Dorje Shugden everywhere just like billboards all over. We believe this now and work towards it and it will happen.
From Tibet-China, Shugden will pervade the world.

What a positive post! Yes, personally I feel that the ban will be lifted soon and we hear less and less people talking about it and more and more Shugden practitioners and chapels are surfacing! All are worth it, look how Shugden benefited more and more people! One thing is for sure, those who "survive" the ban upholding shugden practice regardless of what happened demonstrated pure guru devotion and with respect. I salute!
The day is coming very soon. Just like what you guys had done with the billboard. The time has come to show your might, with four conducts, swift and decisive... OM BENZA WIKI BITRANA SOHA!
LOVES THE BILLBOARD! Very creative!
-
haha, this is so creative... whoever come out with the idea of super impose billboard is brilliant... agreed with barzin, i think the ban gonna to lift up soon too. Tibetan lama is all around the world now and theirs' students are from every corner of the world too. The followers of DS is getting more and more from all around the world, seems like the ban from HHDL didn't do much to reduce or get rid of DS, but increase the number of practitioners day by day.
one day we will really able to see DS on Tokyo, China, USA, England and all around the world.
I really like the graphic of DS, DS will sprouting like bamboo after rain.
-
Can't agree with you more, Mana.
Decades back no one would believe you if you said we could carry with us a computer thinner than a book, look what's happening now.
Yes, we create everything within our mind first, then work on it with effort and strong conviction. Nothing is impossible .
If we can have Santa on big billboards , why not DS !!!
-
The idea of the superimposed DS billboards is really creative. For a moment I thought it was real.
It is highly likely that this will become a reality in the future. Everything that happens is conceptualised by the mind in the beginning. It is no different than bringing the results to the path as said in the tantras. All reality begins with a thought or an aspiration followed by necessary action to achieve that result.
All the latest inventions like touchscreen phones, iPads etc began as a thought in someone's mind. Just like the design of a building being conceptualised by an architect before it is built. Because the result that is desired has already been perceived in someone's mind and all necessary actions have been set in motion to achieve that result, it is inevitable that the manifestation of that result is just a matter of time.
In the DS scene, all actions in relation to DS whether pro or against seem to make DS even more prominent in the world. Whoever, that has orchestrated this entire controversy seem to know how to make DS well known to the world in the shortest possible time. Just think, 15 years after the ban on DS practice in 1996, DS has emerged from a little known protector outside the Tibetan Buddhist world to a world renown protector even if some people think it is demonic. Looks like the Karmapa's prediction that all Tibetan Buddhists will practice DS in the future is not too far away...

The photos are very creative, and I sincerely hope to see it manifest very soon!!

Who says it can't be real! I for one would contribute to a billboard somewhere prominent.

Nice and creative billboards! It may be just an illusion now, but it will be a reality in the near future!
-
I don't see why not? If you have seen a huge poster about Buddha or Guan Yin. Well, it is only a matter of time for Dorje Shugden to emanate as a giant size billboard to bless millions!
-
Thank you, Mana, for this powerful vision of Dorje Shugden going global.
Yes, we must take Dorje Shugden and plant the seeds everywhere for DS to spread and become an unstoppable global spiritual force. And the time is now!
There is so much potential for this force to take root globally in the billions of people who have not heard of the ban. Soon the ban will be lifted to give impetus to an unquenchable thirst for the benefits of the Protector's practice. Then there will be billboards of Dorje Shugden everywhere(like in the fantastic picture in Mana's post).Thus, like in Tantra, the fruit is taken onto the path to gain swift results.
-
Thank You Mana for sharing and taking put time to do this.
It is very creative and inpiring to see this, it also give us hope. I agree with WoselTenzin that "Everything that happens is conceptualised by the mind in the beginning." Karma is triggered by our mind, daily if our mind full of negative thinking, we open up our negative Karma. If we do our sadhana, prayer, hold our vow and keep our mind positive, we are opening the good karma/seed.
Seeing Dorje Shugden Billborad help us to again be firm and be positive and i do feel that the ban will be lifted and Shugden practice, with the help of website and internet Shugden practice for sure will go global and big.
-
In fact with this controversial created by HH, I feel Dorje Shugden practioners has increased cause it has make the practice very attractive compared if it was just within the circle of Tibetans. Just like Tibetan Buddhism on how it has spread so far and wide after they lost their country.
I can't wait for the ban to be lifted and the more promotion of Dorje Shugden will eventualy create the cause for the ban to be lifted. Therefore, I rejoice at all the work this website has done. The day will come whereby this practice will be GLOBALISE.
-
Thank you Mana for the uplifting perspective.
My lama also recently gave a very clear explanation for how every single one of us can create the cause for the ban to be lifted and for the practice to spread. This is very logical and I'd like to share it with all forum readers. Do feel free to share this with others, so as to help the practice to grow and face less and less obstacles and opposition.
With every person that is benefitted by Dharma, merit is gained. When WE benefit someone in dharma, WE also collect merit - either as individuals or as a part of a group, such as our Dharma centres or temples. out of great compassion for others, we can work very hard to bring Dorje Shugden to as many people as possible, introducing even his image or mantra to them. When these people are benefitted, find some relief or are led to deeper Dharma practice, we gain some merit by our action and good intention towards them.
We can dedicate this merit towards anything - such as THE LIFTING OF THE BAN ON DORJE SHUGDEN or THE GROWTH OF DORJE SHUGDEN'S PRACTICE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD (and by that, of course, the growth of Lama Tsongkhapa's teachings and the Buddha Dharma in general).
So for every person that is benefitted by Dorje Shugden, the result is twofold - first, that person receives the protection, blessings and help of Dorje shugden, and secondly, we gain merit that can then be dedicated towards helping even more people through Dorje Shugden.
I believe this website alone is one of those efforts to create global merit and make this practice spread. By doing things like making articles available, creating comics and videos, brochures, making information widespread and easily accessible in so many languages, this all adds to a collective merit that can lessen the impact of the ban and simultaneously make the practice grow.
I'd like to believe that the Dalai Lama knew all along that we would all react in this way... and inadvertently make DS grow... We are like petulant children who, upon hearing an instruction that we shouldn't do something, will do it all the more :) In this case, the instruction NOT to practice DS has only strengthened our resolve to practice harder, stronger and bring the practice to even more people.
Yes, I like this big and global picture.
-
This is such a cool imagery and the lamas predicted many many years back the ascendancy of China. China has already overshadowed America in many aspects and more powerful financially also. Through spreading Dorje Shugden within China first then from China to the rest of the world is a very powerful method. As the whole world already looks up to the Middle Kingdom once more.
I do think the ban pushed many people who are part of the Gelug tradition to push themselves beyond their comfort zones and just look at all the lamas practising dorje shugden most are thriving and doing big things.
-
I love the images! I hope one day there really will be billboards everywhere with Dorje Shugden on it - to plant Dharma seeds in everyone who sees it. Can you imagine Dorje Shugden in the tube stations! Dorje Shugden would really be underground! All the commuters definitely need DS. It would be awesome! Or up in neon lights in Piccadilly Circus... Over here, there's actually no law against it.. just needs the dosh. I'll light a candle and make a wish that one day it will come to pass!
-
We have seen DS brochures going global so the next move is to see DS billboards going global!
-
Wow….that is so cool.
Totally agree with wisdombeing, to plant seeds in everyone mind who sees it.
This is exactly the same as building a big high statue where people can see from a distance.
It's every Shugden-pa dreams that Dorje Shugden go global.
Such a great protector have benefitted so many people and we should promote it to the world and let many more benefited. This is what Buddhist teaching all about.
As mentioned by Dharmaspace, China is a good place. So many people and the most important one it's not ban there.
Can't wait to see this materialize.
-
Nice execution! I like the creativity expressed through art!
Whatever it takes to promote our Protector... I don't care what any of the haters say.
I LOVE IT!
-
Yes. Why NOT! Santa (as brought up by Kurava), a figment of the imagination, being made known and accepted in the world perhaps was driven by commercialism but it is the moral goodness and "values" behind which made Santa an icon
What is it that will drive us to make Dorje Shugden go global? Dorje Shugden certainly is not a figment of our imagination. He is so much more than "Santa" (not comparing out of any disrespect), the ultimate goodness, love, wisdom, protection. He brings about so much happiness, short and long term.
It is up to us to make Dorje Shugden to be known globally. if we will look inside our hearts, look at what Dorje Shugden has done for us, who he is and can be to many, then let that be our driving force. I am sure that force can be so powerful, though we are few.
Mana's post along with so many others in this forum is very inspiring.
Dear Mana, I love your post on this thread because it's far sighted with a heart to bring divine help to many, planting a seed in my mind what I can do for my Protector, our Protector.
folded hands to all
-
This is an awesome visualisation! What a powerful positive up lifting post that definitely drives us to do more in promoting our King Dorje Shugden.
Everything begins with a thought... so definitely one day we will see Dorje Shugden on a huge billboard of perhaps a movie premier :)
It's extremely interesting/exciting to know that for each one of us who strives to promote Dorje Shugden in which ever little way we can contributes to the global energy of merits that creates the cause for Dorje Shugden ban to be lifted, for us to one day practice freely and openly and to for Dorje Shugden to become global.
Yes May Dorje Shugden grow to be a global superstar Buddha for our times!!!
-
I think it is a powerful visualisation! I believe the billboards will become real pretty soon not just in one country but it will cover all over the world. So Cool.....
By the way I love all the images.
-
When I first read this, I thought these billboards were real!!! Then I realised it's not. Anyway, it's a great idea to promote Dorje Shugden. Imagine this in Times Square, New York? Wow!
The seed of Manjushri will be planted in millions of people's mind just by the sight of Dorje Shugden. Can someone out there make it happen? Any major billboards will be just as fantastic. The benefits will be incredible.
-
My lama also recently gave a very clear explanation for how every single one of us can create the cause for the ban to be lifted and for the practice to spread...
We can dedicate this merit towards anything - such as THE LIFTING OF THE BAN ON DORJE SHUGDEN or THE GROWTH OF DORJE SHUGDEN'S PRACTICE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD (and by that, of course, the growth of Lama Tsongkhapa's teachings and the Buddha Dharma in general).
Thanks Beggar for highlighting the importance of making a proper dedication of our merits. There are so many ways to dedicate our merits. If all the DS practitioners in the World focus their dedication to one cause i.e. specifically for the lift of the ban on DS, then this will become manifest sooner! DS going global will then become a reality!
-
[I'm new to this site and I'm absolutely loving it!]
Wow, that's absolutely brilliant! Going to an extent like the billboards would be a absolute dream come true for many Dorje Shugden practitioners. I do believe that one day Dorje Shugden's ban would be lifted someday, especially with the help of this website I came across I am very happy to see all your efforts put in on bringing Dorje Shugden to the world!
The time has now come, do not fret, do not feel anger, do not feel disbelief, if you work hard and make your dedications strong nothing can come in the way of your efforts put in into this. One day when the ban is lifted, you can tell yourself I did this, I was part of this, I am proud of who I am and what I believe in. Believe in Dorje Shugden, trust in Dorje Shugden.
Thank you so much for making this website. You have put more faith into me.

Wow, this is impressive, having Dorje Shugden on the billboards all around the world!
In this degeneration age, we need Dorje Shugden badly as he is swift to come to help when we call upon him. Since he is the emanation of Manjushri, he is able to give us wisdom and guide us to the path to enlightenment. By seeing his holy image, we have already planted a Dharma seed in our mind. Thus, having the potentiality of gaining enlightenment.
Imagine, if there is a movie about him, gaining popularity internationally, being shown in movie festivals in Nice, Berlin, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc. Lots of people will start to be curious about him and more people will start to practice him. I knew HHDL from the movie 'Seven Years in Tibet', it was this movie that made me curious about HHDL and started to google about him. This was when my interest in Buddhism, especially Tibetan Buddhism started to grow. I am sure one of these days, these wishes will come true.
-
Wow! This is such an eye catching billboard. I cant imagine the time when the ban is lifted, we can see dorje shugden billboards, posters, any form of promotion sprouting all over the world. This superimposed billboard reminds me of one day we could have a movie talking about dorje shugden! We can get Richard Gere, Tina Turner etc buddhist celebrities to star in the movie, i just cant wait this day to come.
May all of this hardships, effort, time, talent and financial contribution that have put into promoting dorje Shugden will benefit many, and may the ban can be lifted very soon, it would be even more beneficial if the people can practice this king of protector openly.
-
Dorje Shugden should go global...NOW!
With so many people getting the benefits from propitiating Dorje Shugden, we should all share with our friends and family as a way to repay the kindness of Dorje Shugden! He does not need our kindness but we should always cultivate care and love for others and remember the kindness of others, especially our Dharma Protector!
With all the love and care all over the world, we will all be happier! So lets bring Dorje Shugden global!
-
If we all join hand to promote Shugden like how this website promote, I believe we will CREAT the causes for Shugden to go GLOBAL. Everytime, we talk about Shugden to others, we are creating the causes for the practice to be bigger.
The more I read in this forum, the more determine I want to spread Shugden. I've seen and experienced the benefit and how powerful this protector is. And with all these suppression by the Tibetans (especially what they do to High Lamas such as Gangchen Rinpoche, Trijang Rinpoche and Pabongka Rinpoche), it really makes me "angry" and I want to promote it more. And of course to PROVE to the TIBETAN FARM BOYS : CTA that the more you condemn and make things difficult, the more I will promote to others about Shugden. After all, word of mouth marketing is effective and CTA should learn about marketing/strategies/PR and SALES ;)
-
This is absolutely a fabulous idea. And all of the billboards looks brilliant. I can imagine if this happens, it will benefit a lot of people. People will be bless by just looking at the billboard and imprints will be planted in their mindstream. When the time is right or their karma ripens to receive the Dharma, the imprint will open and take them on their spiritual journey.
I wonder what the reaction of the CTA if and when the billboard appears in New York Times Square?
-
Personally, I really want Dorje Shugden to go global because of the amount of people that can benefit from him if they cross paths with even his image or his name. Dorje Shugden is not just any Dharma protector, he is the Guru and Yidam as well. As a Guru, he can give teachings and initiations when he takes trance in his peaceful form and as a protector he can dispel obstacles very easily. So many people can benefit from him and yet due to the illogical ban against him, they are unable to receive such benefits and they have to go through continuous suffering. For their sake, I really hope that Dorje Shugden will spread far and wide
-
I have seen so many people around me that have been benefited by Lord Dorje Shugden in a way or another, seriously I don't see any faults or anything wrong doing Hid practise. Dorje Shugden is the protector of this time, He has benefited millions of people, be it directly or indirectly. When the ban goes down, He is going to go viral! :D
-
Wow ! very creative is very inspiring to see big billboard with Buddha image it will bring a lot of blessing for people to see moreover DS is a very powerful protector that cater for this current era so I do not see why the practice cannot go global. We as a practitioner should work together to lift the ban as soon as possible.
-
Since the post in 2011, Dorje Shugden has gone global. Due to the many protests that were carried by Shugdenpas and the wall murals around USA, the world is more and more aware of the controversy on DS and CTA.
Soon the world will know the method and way to propitiate this mighty Protector. Look out for such developments.
This is such an inspiring post to contribute our thoughts on globalisation of Dorje Shugden.
-
It will definate flourish.. good things are meant to be shared with more.. I do feel believing to something that helps in all aspects and indeed good.. and yes.. the time is there.. the ban will surely be lifted very very son.. yeah !!
-
These pictures are beautiful and creative. I am sure the day to have Dorje Shugden billboard at city centre will manifest soon.
Recent years, there are a few cities in US that have DS murals on the wall.
Places such as Virginia, Berkeley, New York as well as Los Angeles, USA.

With these mural, for Dorje Shugden practitioners or those that recognize his form, it will help them to recall the great qualities of the enlightened mind. For others, it will create imprint in their minds to receive the wisdom of Dharma and Lamrim in the future.
I rejoice in all the murals around the cities. I hope there will be more and more murals around the world and will have big Dorje Shugden signboard in the near future.

Let's wishing for Great Protector Dorje Shugden to go global and go into the heart of many many more, benefit many many more! Om benza wiki bitana soha. Let's start it with holding our lineage tight, help those who need Protector diligently!
-
Dorje Shugden is a powerful protector and is the protector of our era. Many has benefited from Dorje Shugden. Thanks to DS.com, high lama that stand strong with their faith on DS, with no fear and commitment to continue spreading the teachings and also with the technology today, social media can bring any news to every corner of the world in a tremendous speed. It is important to bring Dorje Shugden global, so that DS will have many followers and the strength to give pressure to HHDL to lift the ban.

Not only to lift the ban, but to be safely locked in the garbage bin of history, which is where the evil dalie belongs.
-
As per testimonials and acknowledgements made by many kind contributors on the vast benefits received in reliance with the Kind Dharma Protector, I strongly believe Dorje Shugden has been in various ways in aid for many during their disastrous time. Dorje Shugden will certainly experience a quantum jump due to the protections and removal of obstacles . Precious gem must be shared and spread to more and definitely the ban will be lifted with the multiplication of DS followers globally.
-
I totally agree! Dorje Shugden must go global and the ban must be lifted. Everybody must know about the ban and the terrible things that people in tibet do to Shugden people in tibet. Believing is in the right and they didn't do anything wrong but believe in something which is in their rights. These poor people are being treated like criminals in their own country by their own people for committing a crime that is now a crime. The worst part is that the people that discriminate deny the discrimination and the world is ignoring and covering it up like nothing is happening, so they are being punished for nothing and they are not even being helped.
THIS SHOULD GO GLOBAL. Everybody must know about the ban and everybody must help to lift it and help them. For the greater good in helping the people and to show the world that Shugden is not a demonic spirit or whatever that nonsense is. We must show the world this!
