The Autobio is posted as Part 1 and Part 2. So far just part 1 is posted. Part 2 will be done soon.
This website has undertaken the total cost to have it translated and edited at the cost of US$15,000. It was a 3 year project in the making in total.
As there are no English translated biographies of His Holiness Trijang Rinpoche anywhere in the world today so far. We are hoping more comes out. We are hoping this gets published.
If you don't support emotionally and financially, then you must examine what you are doing for the cause. This is not meant as criticism but hopefully self reflection. If you are doing other things, we rejoice, but also rejoice for our effort. For NOW, we are one or should be one.

May I know the reason behind placing the website address as a watermark on the pages of The Illusory Play?
The Eight Auspicious Objects would seems to be a better choice to me.
In all cases, I like this book and hopes that this website will continue to provide us with such great works.
Personally, I do look forward to seeing autobiographies of all the other Lamrim Lineage Guru here.

What difference does it make what watermark is placed?? Just read, study and understand the wonderful biography that costs US $15,000, hundreds of hours of manpower and the first of it's kind in the world is available now.
Rejoice. Be happy. Don't look for faults when there is this wonderful opportunity to benefit.
If you and everyone's else helps, than I am sure more biographies would appear. Just my thinking..do not mean to offend. :)
Throughout the autobiography, the parts where Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche mentioned Dorje Shugden has been highlighted in red for easy reference. This was done purposely so readers can easily see the devotion, trust and confidence Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche has in this great protector throughout his life.

Have put some links in to the bio at freesangha :)
I sure hope the rest of this sacred autobiography will be put up soon by dorjeshugden.com. I excitedly await. I appreciate the tremendous efforts and expenses footed by this website for all of our benefit. So incredibly generous and also it really shows the motivation of the webmaster and team. You guys are just out to bring Dorje Shugden to the world. No agendas, no fame wanted and no politics. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
It is such an enlightening read and it really counters so much that the Tibetan Govt has said.
After all, if Trijang Rinpoche is wrong or a liar, then the many lineages he passed to Dalai Lama are wrong. So Dalai Lama will have to stop teaching many of what he has been teaching. Of course Trijang Rinpoche is NOT WRONG IN ANY WAY.
an idea to share:Brilliant idea, beggar. Having discussions amongst each other is an interesting and fun way of learning. In fact, by asking questions and sharing what we know with each other, I feel that we will be able to absorb the information more effectively.
What I've found quite useful among my own Dharma friends is to do mini book readings together of the biography. Have gatherings and discuss one or two chapters. It's useful because you discover a lot of stuff in between, as you're reading. And it is helpful for many people in the group who may not understand certain things. It's good chance to ask questions, clarify certain facts or get different perspectives. Usually, someone will notice something that others won't so it ends up being a good exchange of information and you pick up a lot more that way.
Good to make it fun. Mix it up, have some good coffee, chat about it - things settle and stay in the mind much more effective through the sharing vibe.
Have fun!
GOOD NEWS!!!

This unbelievable piece of work is going to be a spring in a dry desert. Water for the thirsty. Light for the confused. Refuge for the those lost. Logic in the storm of malicious confusions.
I cannot overstate how much this information on this site will move our Dorje Shugden cause ahead. No centre, no lama, no organization, not even the Dorje Shugden coalition groups has produced such an incredible piece of work made available for the whole world.
We can protest, write letters and beg for something to happen, but with such a definitive work such as this describing the intimate relationship Dorje Shugden has with the most influential Gelug Lama of recent times is beyond doubt or debate. If such a lama of this calibre can rely on Dorje Shugden, THEN HE IS NOT OF AN EVIL ORIGIN FULL STOP.
Even the Tibetan Govt in exile or Dalai Lama would not be able to say anything to His Holiness Trijang Rinpoche's own written autobiography.
It will have impact for many decades to come long after the dissolution of the Tibetan Govt.
We have to get this autobiography translated into many languages and posted. And because you have provided the English translation, it will be possible.
With great respect and folded hands to the team at [url=http://www.dorjeshugden.com]www.dorjeshugden.com[/url] ([url]http://www.dorjeshugden.com[/url]) I thank you tremendously.

Like WB, I truly appreciate the RED highlights because I too am eager to be on the look out for our Protector's name to be mentioned - especially in the crucial events of history.
In Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche's Bio, it confirms a few things such as Rinpoche seeking the Protector for advice on whether His Holiness should Tibet or not, and how to go about the escape route.
Throughout the Bio, I found that the Protector has been watching all the high lamas since day one - just as Trijang Rinpoche himself had commented and observed.
I sincerely appreciate all the effort made into making this bio available - even to the point of highlighting certain paragraphs about the Protector in red. To me, that shows how much care and effort that the team responsible for this, took to deliver such an important and valuable piece of work to the rest of us.
Why can't people just appreciate and rejoice for a change?
All the time spent in studying Dharma or reciting or quoting Dharma texts did not teach these individuals how to appreciate and rejoice?

This appears to be the final draft of a translation that was completed in 2007.
You may also like to know that an amazing biography was also written that has been translated into English, but, it will not likely be available for free download, and unfortunately the portions about the Dharmapala have had to be omitted from the translation. Since we already know about Rinpoche's relationship with this heart protector, the biography will still be a wonderful window into this Mahasiddha's life.
You may here of its publication before me, but I will inform you here when it is finished nonetheless.

Big Uncle and Ensapa,
You are right. I would like to apologize to the admin in particular for arrogantly disrespecting their enormous efforts to provide this translation. My words were inappropriate.
Ensapa, indeed your points are sound and reflect what I have stated in my reply to Kate. However, if your comment about "anyone interested in learning Tibetan..." is referring to Sharpa Tulku or Lotsawa David Gonsalez, the comments do not apply to these great Yogis who have been translating for a long time and are recognized by many realized Lamas as qualified Lotsawa's (Eyes of the World) due to their very special understanding born from authentic realization.
Anyways, there's no point in continuing this particular conversation. I regret bringing up the conversation the way I did not just because it was disrespectful, but it is taking our attention away from drawing attention to the good qualities of Trijang Dorjechang. Big Uncle was right, hence my sincere apology. Let's change our attention to admiring faith and wishing faith with respect to the good qualities of the Lama.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I agree and have the same hope. I must say though that compared to 1996 era, the amount of information on Dorje Shugden available, especially through this site and the history site is astounding and very touching. It has brought a lot of insight to my relationship with the Protector. The Translation of Trijang Rinpoche's composition on Dorje Shugden was a very welcome addition to Geshe Kelsang Gyatso's commentary!!
