Hey everyone,
some good news to share. been looking around the online store and seen some great stuff there. I made a special request to find out if they had large images. They do! Only a few pieces. See the attached photo of what I have just "purchased" (lack of a better word) and will be bringing into my home. It is a 3 foot statue - very grand indeed.
I'd been thinking of setting up a special corner like a small protector chapel in my own home, and had wanted to get a large statue as the centerpiece. I don't have that much money and not too many statues, but thought that if I had to have a statue, I would have always liked it to be a large Dorje Shugden. And here it is!
(this seems to be by a special request. you can't find it directly on the front of the page. Am not sure how many statues they have left of this size, but you could always ask!)

Wow! This is a spectacular statue. It looks so majestic. Congratulations beggar for inviting the king back to your home. And your altar is very nice and modern. A fine example of how an altar can blend in into your home's modern look without looking too much like a temple.
Maybe the online people should have a section where people can enquire on special orders/statues. That could be an idea. I'm thinking out loud.

Oh Wow a 3ft Dorje Shugden!!! Rejoice for you beggar. It looks spectacular and I've never seen one so nice. This super cool and thanks for sharing such a beautiful image beggar and yes it would be awesome if we could order upon special request. How much was it if you don't mind me asking. What is it made from and is it fragile and difficult to ship??? Sorry I shld probably write to them directly. It would be awesome if they have painted ones too especially Dorje Shugden's face :)

Awesome, a 3' Dorje Shugden statue!!! What a grand statue!!! I rejoice for you and I like your idea of having a small chapel for Dorje Shugden. Yes it will be nice to have an altar set up to compliment your home deco and at the same time receive blessings and protections from Dorje Shugden for yourself and your family.
Thank you for sharing, beggar. The on-line store people are very quick responding to your request. Very efficient!

Dear Beggar,
Thank you for sharing this wonderful picture. I am really happy for you to be able to invite this wonderful image of Dorje Shugden back to your home and look at the SIZE!
Thank you ds.com for providing a platform for offering items and statues available for deprived people like us to gain access to the incredible protector of our times.
I think over time Dharma centres all over the world will be looking onto this site for more orders of such big statues.
Makes me think, should I get one for my own home too? Ur offerings r simple and very beautiful! I'm thinking of making the same
-
I am considering to get this similar one for my protector chapel. It is awesome I like it so much.
-
My next purchase will be a thangka, i hope! To hang on the walls of the chapel or perhaps behind the statue.
Do support the online store. I have not seen such finely crafted items as what is offered here. Also, they have done a lot for Dorje Shugden's practice in the world and it would be very nice to support them in this way, through the store. Makes wonderful gifts to friends, especially in places where it is hard to find Dorje Shugden items or dharma items for practice.

This 3ft statue for dorje shugden is spectacular! The proportion is perfect. The snow lion is so wrathful! Wow! The online shop here offers great statues. Does anyone know how much this statue costs? What is it made of? Copper, brass or something else? Do they ship to any part of the world? I'm so excited to get one for myself.

No Shakyamunis this big. Why is your statue of dhogyal so big? Your main image should be Shakyamuni. Your worship of this spirit is taking centre stage and it's dangerous. That's what HHDL is warning us from the kindness and wisdom of his heart. He doesn't want to hurt anyone. Contemplate it. He is going all out to speak against Dhogyal. So what motive can he have?
Study Dzogchen and take refuge in Shakyamuni or do Vajrakilaya's practice or something we don't have a shadow of a doubt about. Namgyal Monastery has incredible Vajrakilaya ceremonies I always attend. And you guys should join in HHDL's talks and ceremonies. It's a huge blessing.

Tenzin Gyatso,
You may be an advanced practitioner to mix teachings and traditions together, not most of us and certainly not me. I will stick to Lama Tsongkhapa's tradition and practices as the Gelug tradition has all the necessary tools to bring me to enlightenment, and being the last tradition to emerge from Tibet, I do believe that the Gelug tradition prototype came from the synthesis of the best from Sakya, Nyingma and Kagyu is complete in itself. I don't think Dzogchen are part of Gelug teachings. And since the Gelug tradition emerged the latest from Tibet and from the Second Buddha Lama Tsongkhapa I do feel strongly it is best suited to the times.

He's not a Gelugpa hence the attitude. :o

We are not allowed to attend the Dalai Lama's teachings. Forbidden for Dorje Shugden practitioners.

We dont do Nyingma Termas or practices as Tsongkhapa didnt include them so there is no point advising us to do these practices. It doesnt invalidate them by the way its rather that we'd practice just one tradition.

Oh, I beg to differ.
There are MANY Shakyamuni and Tsongkhapa statues this big throughout the world. Have you never been to Thailand and seen the many images there?
Also, what makes you think I do not have a large image of Shakyamuni and other statues. I had said I was setting up a protector chapel, but that does not mean I don't also have other shrines for other buddha images I have the fortune to have. It is not unusual or bad in any way to have large images of Dharma Protectors or special chapels / shrines - this is very common practice for both monasteries (who have large, designated Protector chapels) and individuals.
Secondly, the Dalai Lama's tone has changed considerably. From being so exclusively against the practice, he has recently said that it is up to practitioners to make their own decision as to whether they practice. This was said only a few weeks ago during the initiations in Bodhgaya. Do see the video here: http://dorjeshugden.com/wp/?p=11479 (http://dorjeshugden.com/wp/?p=11479)
Why does he go from issuing so many very harsh edicts against the practice and speaking so harshly, to speaking to candidly about it now? Is the Dalai Lama so fickle and inconsistent?

Hi Kdraksar, may be you can tell the online shop webmaster ([email protected]) what is the error message you get when you tried to pay through Paypal. This will help them to solve the problem for you.
Are you using Paypal to transfer money? Or are you using credit card? Personally when I used credit card (through Paypal), most of the time, it is my bank who is causing the problem. If you are using credit card, then may be you can help to check with the bank why the bank block the transaction. Hope this helps :D but best is still email the webmaster the details :D

May I know what is the exact problem you are facing? Did you see any error message on the screen? If yes, can you email me the details on [email protected] ?
As mentioned by Kris, sometimes the credit card issuer (bank) may cause the problem, but it is best you can give me with more details so that our team solve your issue.
Thank you for suggesting Amazon. Our team will research on it.

Thank you bagger for sharing such beautiful statue set up on the forum.the statue is so grand n macho...im not into dark colour statue but this one is good. will check if they have other colours n smaller ones since i do not have my own place yet...
-
Thank for sharing the photos and glad to know that Dorje shugden images are available online now which everyone who stay in anywhere also can invite him home.
In the past i remember i only saw Dorje shuden size 3 feet in Dharma centre, glad to know that now the Dorje shugde practitioner also invite 3ft statue to worship at home.. Will share it with my friend as they have been looking for this 3ft statue also.
By the way, your altar is simple and nice.

Beautiful statue of Dorje Shugden! I wish I can afford it!
Beggar, just an idea. Don't you think putting colours to the statue would make it more lively? I can imagine the fiery fires from the back and the wrathful face of Dorje Shugden when looked upon will subdue the evil in us.
I don't know about you but I really love colours on my statues!
-
This is cool!
Beggar, I really like how your altar/chapel looks! It is so simple, neat, and not over-ly extravagant. The flower/plants brings out the base colour of Dorje Shugden beautifully and the simple glass candle holder adds a perfect touch to the overall look.
If I had this small altar/chapel, my dogs would be so blessed to have the imprints of our great protector planted in their mindstream everyday! The height of this altar is perfect, for my little cuties. My current altar is on top of the table, so my dogs can't see much of it. But this height is so perfect! Thank you Beggar, you gave me an idea of how I can position my altar/statues and benefit my dogs too!
I like simple altars very much. Whatever altar you have, I think what is most important is your sincerity, dedication and commitment to doing your daily sadhanas. I don't think there would be any use to have altars that are so over the top, (many of which I have seen), and not commit to maintaining it or doing your daily prayers.
The online shop is amazing, in that even a request for such a big statue can be fulfilled. The team really works solely to make sure that you have whatever you need on your spiritual path huh! It is an excellent way to share our great protector all around the world!!

Congratulations to you beggar! And thank you for sharing. Items on online shop here are beautiful. So many that I wished to have especially the beautiful pendant! Well, got to get them over time. Meanwhile, me too have just received my order on the 7" DS statue! My first DS altar! Yeah!
