Many of you may not be aware of the fact that there is a female Dharmapala found in Dorje Shugden's retinue.

Her full name is "Shangmo Dorje Putri" and she is in Kache Marpo's retinue along with Methar and Yumar Gyalchen who is the "Peaceful" emanation of Kache Marpo".

"Shang" is the name of her town in Tsang Province, Tibet.

"Mo" means "Woman", "Dorje" means "Diamond" and "Putri" means "Razor".

"Shangmo Dorje Putri" translates into the "Diamond Razor Woman from Shang".

On March 19, 2016 Pastor Niral Patel wrote an article about her on Tsem Tulku's website.

Here is the link to that article.

http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/shangmo-dorje-putri-the-bamo-of-sakya.html

I have included below the most relevant aspect of his article.

Quote
Shangmo Dorje Putri also has a small connection to the Gelug lineage as well, through Kyabje Domo Geshe Rinpoche (1866-1936 CE), as Rinpoche was also from the Shang area. Shangmo Dorje Putri followed Domo Geshe Rinpoche to his Dungkar Monastery. There, Domo Geshe Rinpoche, bound her again. This time she made the oath of protecting the monastery. When Domo Geshe Rinpoche travelled to India on pilgrimage, he setup another monastery known as Gaden Tharpa Choling Monastery in Kalimpong. It was there that the storekeeper of the monastery asked Shangmo Dorje Putri to protect the ration store room of the monastery. She remained there protecting the store room until the monastery was renovated. After that she moved to the Mani Lhakang in the monastery where a special shrine was dedicated to her.
Although an independent Dharma protector, Shangmo Dorje Putri is under the control of the enlightened Dharma protector Kache Marpo and considered to be part of his entourage. In turn Kache Marpo is within the entourage of the Dharma protector Dorje Shugden. She is also known to take trance in trained oracles who can take trance of Dorje Shugden, Setrap and Kache Marpo.

I am also including an article written on this website written by "WisdonBeing" on January 13, 2012.

Here is the link to his article that includes a small section on "Shangmo Dorje Putri".

5. Shrine for Shangmo Dorje Bhuti: It is said that Shangmo was once a demon who disguised as a nomad woman. She was tamed by Sakya Gongma Rinpoche. Around 1902, Shangmo escaped from the Sakya Monastery and followed Domo Geshe Rinpoche to Dungkar Gonpa, as Rinpoche also was the native of the same place, “Shang”. There at Dungkar Gonpa, she was bound under solemn oath to protect the monastery. In Tharpa Cholling, the storekeeper ordered Shangmo to protect the ration store room of Tharpa Choling monastery. Shangmo stayed in the store room up to the renovation of monastery. Now her abode has been shifted to Mani Lhagang with her special shrine.

What I have found to be interesting is that "Shangmo" followed Domo Geshe Rinpoche to his monastery in Tibet.

She do so not out of anger or revenge but because he was a fellow citizen of "Shang".

She did not attack Domo Geshe Rinpoche or Dungkar Monastery and when Domo Geshe found out that her true intent was just to be with him he took pity on her.

He bound her by oath to protect him and Dungkar Monastery.

This way she would always be with Domo Geshe Rinpoche through all their lifetimes.

When Domo Geshe Rinpoche's Gaden Tharpa Choling Monastery needed her help she was instantly their to protect their monastery.

Domo Geshe Rinpoche out of total respect for "Shangmo" built a "Protector Chapel" for her at Gaden Tharpa Choling Monastery.

She has returned Rinpoche's kindness by taking "Trance" of his Oracles and other Dorje Shugden Oracles.

Pastor Patel's article claims that she is a "Bamo" a "Witch" and makes out that "Shangmo" is someone to be feared.

But all her interactions with Domo Geshe Rinpoche paints an entirely different picture of her.

With Domo Geshe Rinpoche and his monks she was "Peaceful" and "Help full".

I look at "Shangmo Dorje Putri" as a "White Bamo" and not a "Black Bamo".

Someone who will be kind and gentle to anyone who asks her help.

So for all the women readers of this article I hope that you will ask "Shangmo" for her help and guidance.

It is nice to see that Dorje Shugden has a "Female" Dharmapala in his ranks of Dharmapalas.

So now we know that Dome Geshe Rinpoche has gifted Dorje Shugden with not one but two Dharmapalas.

Shangmo Dorje Putri and Namkar Barzin.

Pray for the long life of the present incarnation of His Eminence Domo Geshe Rinpoche.

One must look at the actions of "Shangmo" in escaping from the Sakya Monastery.

What drove her to escaping?

Was she another female who was subject to "Abuse"?

She had the power and means to escape her captors.

If she was the evil, mean, black Bamo Witch that the Sakya claimed her to be then what did she do when she escaped?

Did she murder men, woman and children?

Kill livestock and destroy crops?

No!

She fled to seek shelter with Domo Geshe Rinpoche.

She told him of her plight and all of her sufferings and begged to stay with him.

Domo Geshe Rinpoche as a true enlightened master allowed her to join him as his Dharmapala.

Shangmo now guards and protects Domo Geshe Rinpoche and both Dungkar and Tharpa Choling Monasteries.

She is also a Dharmapala in the retinue of Kache Marpo.

I would question the fact that Shangmo is an "Unenlightened" spirit.

Her actions in fleeing Sakya Monastery and seeking out the enlightened master Domo Geshe Rinpoche makes me question her status as "Unenlightened".

We must all thank Domo Geshe Rinpoche for protecting and giving shelter to an abused female whether she was a human or a Dharmapala did not matter to Domo Geshe Rinpoche.

He saw a suffering abused woman and he saved her.

Pray for a long life for the present incarnation of Domo Geshe Rinpoche.

I received an email about "Shangmo Dorje Putri" being an "Unenlightened" Dharmapala.

The woman stated that she showed my article about Shangmo to her Tibetan Lama.

He stated that "Shangmo" is a "Wrathful" form of "Red Tara".

The Lama holds the "Red Tara" lineage from the Apang Terton.

Apang Terton emanated as the 41st Sakya Trizin.

Apang Terton was the son of King Detsun Trisong and Apang Terton received his "Red Tara" empowerment directly from Padmasambhava.

Shangmo, he stated is also known as the "Red Faced Witch from Shang".

She is an "Enlighened" being who appears in an "Unenlightened" form.

Just passing this on for your consideration.

I sent an email to the woman for more information about Shangmo being Red Tara.

She told me in her reply that her Sakya Lama does not want his name found on a Dorje Shugden website.

He does in secret the practice of Dorje Shugden via the Sakya "Gyalpo Sum" of Setrap, Tsiu (Kache) Marpo and Dorje Shugden.

He fears that if the word got out that he practices Dorje Shugden that the Tibetans in the City he lives in would turn their backs on him.

He stated that the 41st Sakya Trizin publicly backs the Dalai Lama against Dorje Shugden.

He was totally unaware that "Shangmo" was part of the Dorje Shugden retinue.

He expressed great joy in learning about this and will now include her in his Dorje Shugden practice.

He stated that some years ago while meditating on the "Bamo Sum" when he got to the part on "Shangmo", Red Tara appeared to him.

Red Tara told the Lama that she and "Shangmo" were the same and that "Shangmo" was her "Wrath".

He wishes to bless all of us who publicly follow Dorje Shugden to keep up with our practice.

Around 1902 Domo Geshe Rinpoche made Shangmo a Dharmapala and placed her into  Kache Marpo's retinue.

Namkar Barzin was also made a Dharmapala by Domo Geshe Rinpoche sometime in the 1920's and placed into Dorje Shugden's retinue.

Methar was made a Dharmapala by Serkong Dorje Chang sometime in the latter part of 1915 to 1920 and placed into the retinue of Kache Marpo.

Before Methar or Namkar Barzin joined Dorje Shugen's retinue Shangmo was already there waiting for them to join her and Kache Marpo.

Something to ponder about when we meditate on Shangmo Dorje Putri.

It is with great sadness that I must report that Shangmo Dorje Putri is no longer the Dharmapala that protects Domo Geshe Rinpoche's Gaden Tharpa Choling Monastery.

The Monastery is now in the hands of the evil 14th Dalai Lama.

He has banned the practice of Dorje Shugden which also includes Kache Marpo, Namkar Barzin and Shangmo Dorje Putri from this Monastery.

The Dalai Lama has chosen an anti Dorje Shugen boy as the incarnation of Domo Geshe Rinpoche.

This anti Dorje Shugden fraud is now the head of Gaden Tharpa Choling Monastery.

The interesting part of all of this is Pastor Patel KNEW since March 19, 2016 that Shangmo was part of Dorje Shugden's retinue and never did anything with that information.

He just sat on in and most likely did not understand it's importance.

He never followed up by telling Tsem Tulku that there was another Dorje Shugden"Dharmapala" that needed to be exposed to the followers of Dorje Shugden.

Shangmo was forgotten by us just like Methar was forgotten.

Here is a conversation between Pastor Patel and a man named Eric and here is the link to that talk.

http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/ask-the-pastors


Question asked by Eric
Hello Pastor Niral

I think that it would be wonderful if you and Tsem Rinpoche do a joint article on Shangmo Dorje Putri.

Your previous article was about her and the "Bamo Sum" and only a small piece about her and the Gelugpa sect.

With all this new information you could also check with the monks and Lamas of Gaden Tharpa Choling Monastery.

Shangmo has been a Dharmpala for Domo Geshe Rinpoche since 1902.

He must have create a daily practice for her and a mantra.

Do you think that Domo Geshe Rinpoche would place a violent, evil demon into the retinue of Dorje Shugden and Kache Marpo?

Would he have built her a "Protector Chapel" at Tharpa Choling Monastery if she was?

No!

The Sakya may say that she is very evil and dangerous but remember the Sakya think that Dorje Shugden is an unenlightened being.

We all know that Dorje Shugden is a BUDDHA.

The 41st Sakya Trizin stated that Dorje Shugden is just a minor dharmapala and not really worth practices.

We know that what he says is a not true and he was forced to say it by the Dalai Lama.

So please think about doing an updated article on Shangmo, Domo Geshe Rinpoche, Dungkar and Tharpa Choling Monastery.

Maybe some photos of her "Protector Chapel"?

It's time to reintroduce the Dorje Shugden Dharmapala Shangmo Dorje Putri to the followers of Dorje Shugden.

Tsem Rinpoche did it with Methar and why not with Shangmo?

Reply by Pastor Niral Patel
Dear Eric,

Thank you for your comments. As you state your question above this, Gaden Tharpa Monastery is not a monastery that we have a connection with at the moment, because of the current political climate, therefore we would not have communication with them to get more information. As we know, Shangmo Dorje Putri’s practice is not widespread among the Gelug lineage, and particular to this monastery. Therefore, there are not many places where we can get further information from, that can be verified as authentic. Even Domo Geshe Rinpoche’s major protector practices and those he wrote about and promoted were Dorje Shugden and Kache Marpo. As you say, there could be a Gelug version of her prayer and mantra that the great master had written, but we have yet to come across it.

On another note, Sakya practitioners today may say that Dorje Shugden is not an enlightened being, but this contradicts there own history, in which many of the Sakya Trizin’s practised Dorje Shugden and definitely did consider him to be an enlightened being. I think you may have already read this article: http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/the-sakya-lineage-dorje-shugden.html.

We currently have many articles that we are working on, however, if you yourself would like to engage in the research and write an article, you are more than welcome to do so. You can submit it using the ‘submit a story’ button on the left hand column, under the featured authors section. We would be more than happy to review it for you. I hope this helps.
Thank you.

Here you see Eric asking Pastor Patel to do the right thing and do a new article on Shangmo.

Instead of writing a new article on Shangmo, Pastor Patel's tells Eric that he is too busy and Eric should do all the work that HE had failed to do on March 19, 2016.

Had Pastor Patel done his job properly on March 19, 2016 we would have all known about the Dharmpala Shangmo for the last two and a quarter years.

But he didn't and it took Eric in June/July 2018 to start to correct all of this.

We can only hope that Eric will do what Pastor Patel is to BUSY to do.

It's interesting that it took Eric's comments to Niral Patel to have them look at putting up a "Statue" of Shangmo on Dorje Shugden's alter at Kechara Forest Retreat.

Pastor Patel stated "We have taken note about the statue".

The statue should have gone up in March 2016 when Pastor Patel first wrote his incomplete article on Shangmo.

Thank you Eric for all your hard work in getting Shangmo her rightful place beside her "Brother Dharmapalas" on Dorje Shugden's main alter at KFR.

Without your hard work and efforts we still would not have known about the female Dharmapala Shangmo and her place in Dorje Shugden's retinue.

Now we have four Dharampalas in Dorje Shugden's retinue, Kache Marpo, Methar, Namkar Barzin and finally Shangmo Dorje Putri.

He wishes to bless all of us who publicly follow Dorje Shugden to keep up with our practice.
And this is where we don't believe a single word.  You're simply not providing sources and may just be making up your claims of a "Sakya lama" seeing how you claim that "he" doesn't want his name up.
If that's the case, provide me evidence with tantric sources or whatever ancient scriptures you have out there of the Red Tara as the Bamo Sum.  I'm sure that if a Sakya lama with the Red Tara practices can find it,you might be able to as well.  Just request the source stating this and post it up here.  Good luck with trying to explain why she was bound her first time for her uncontrollable wrath that includes making practitioners sick and how that deals with Tara's compassionate energy.

"Om Shangmo Hum Phat"
Interesting.  Source?  Empowerment?  It seems to be made up of the same way you make up mantras like that of Nyatrul.  I find it hard that even for a real lama who practices the Bamo Sum to allow the posting of such a dangerous mantra.  But then again, it's not surprising this is a fake mantra.

You realize that the 41st Sakya Trizin is a mind emanation of Padmasambhava, right?

Harold, I pray for you.  Keep up with made-up lies on our lord, Shugden, and his retinue, you will only keep convincing those that discriminate us that we are liars, idiots guided by wrath, and that these are caused by the effects of "gyalpos."  Enough with your spamming for once, it's time you stopped your nonsense and indoctrinating us with your lies of who Shugden really is.  Keep up with this, and you will end up in vajra hell for attempted "schisms" on your fellow vajra siblings over the same deity we all practice, lying about Shugden and praising a worldly spirit and making up mantras and praises to this worldly spirit, and ignorant wrath.  Backtalking against your own lineage?  Does your guru know what you do on forums?

On Sept. 1, 2018 Tsem Tulku and Pastor David Lai did an article on Dungkar Monastery. In that article they talked about the Female Dharmapala Shangmo Dorje Putri.

Here is the link to that article. https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/great-lamas-masters/dungkar-monastery.html

This is what they both wrote about Shangmo Dorje Putri.

"Dungkar Monastery is also associated with one of the Bamo witches (female spirit), Shangmo Dorje Putri. This Protectoress is known to have disguised herself as an ordinary nomad woman, and she was subdued by one of the Sakya throne holders and bound by oath to protect the Dharma. In 1902, Shangmo Dorje Putri accompanied Domo Geshe Rinpoche to Dungkar, as she was originally from Shang where the great lama was born. While at Dungkar, she was placed under oath to protect the monastery as well."

This article states that in 1902 she was made a Dharmapala for Dungkar Monastery by Domo Geshe Rinpoche.

This is almost 20 years before Domo Geshe Rinpoche made Namkar Barzin a Dharmapala for Dungkar Monastery.

This means that Shangmo Dorje Putri is a SENIOR DHARMAPALA to Namkar Barzin.

She was also placed by Domo Geshe Rinpoche into the retinue of Kache Marpo.

We now have 4 Dharmapalas in the retinue of Dorje Shugden.

We have Kache Marpo, Shangmo Dorje Putri, Methar and Namkar Barzin.

The article listed below is from Tsem Rinpoche's website found under "Ask a question".

It answers the question about Shangmo Dorje Putri and if she is the newest rediscovered "Dharmapala" of Dorje Shugden's retinue.

"Reply by Pastor Niral Patel (Oct 3, 2018)

Dear Sal,

Thank you for your question. You may find the following article interesting to read about Dorje Shugden’s Mandala: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/dorje-shugden-mandala.html

Dorje Shugden’s retinue is very unique. His main attendant/assistant who is Kache Marpo (https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/who-is-kache-marpo.html) who is a very ancient Dharmapala with his own prayers and liturgies.

Another Dharmapala is Namkar Barzin (https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/invocation-to-namkar-barzin.html). He is a relatively new Dharmapala and is unenlightened but assists Dorje Shugden in his works.

Two other Dharmapalas are Methar (https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/great-lamas-masters/methar-of-tengyeling-monastery.html) and also Shangmo Dorje Putri (https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/shangmo-dorje-putri-the-bamo-of-sakya.html) Both of these Dharmapalas are under the care of Kache Marpo, but as Kache Marpo is Dorje Shugden’s main assistant, THEY CAN ALSO BE CLASSED AS PART OF DORJE SHUGDEN'S RETINUE. I hope this helps. Thank you."

The present day Tengyeling Oracle first brought the "Dharmapala Methar" to the attention of Tsem Tulku Rinpoche.
Tsem Tulku then brought Methar to the attention of you the followers of Dorje Shugden.

Then the present day Tengyeling Oracle next brought the "Dharmapala Shangmo Dorje Putri" to the attention of Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. Tsem Tulku has now brought Shangmo Dorje Putri to the attention of you the followers of Dorje Shugden.

The present day Tengyeling Oracle wishes to thank H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche for all his efforts in bring Methar and Shangmo Dorje Putri BACK into Dorje Shugden's retinue.

Starting in October 2016 Rinpoche first wrote two articles about  Nyari Tulku (Nyatrul), Demo Tulku and Methar all from Tengyelling Monastery. He stated that their's was a story of "Political intrigue, unholy plots against innocent men and MURDER." Methar became the third  Dharmapala reunited with Dorje Shugden's retinue.

Now less than two years later he has brought us Shangmo Dorje Putri the fourth Dharmapala BACK into Dorje Shugden's retinue.

Thank you Tsem Tulku Rinpoche for reuniting us with two forgot Dharmapalas in Dorje Shugden's retinue.

I pray for the long life of H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche.

It is interesting to note that in Pastor Niral Patel's article on "Shangmo Dorje Putri" he made the following statement.

"She (Shangmo) is also known to take trance in trained oracles who can take trance of Dorje Shugden, Setrap and Kache Marpo."

These three Dharmapalas are found within the Sakya's  "Gyalpo Sum".

There they are Dorje Shugden, Setrap and Tsiu (Kache) Marpo.

Remember that Shangmo Dorje Putri was originally part of the Sakya's "Bamo Sum".

So she has a very strong relationship with the three "Gyalpo Sum".

Here is the link to that article

How is it possible that from 1902 to 2018 the Dorje Shugen Dharmapala Shangmo Dorje Putri was FORGOTTEN by the Tulkus and Lamas of Dorje Shugden?

For 116 years no Dorje Shugden Tulku or Lama properly placed Shangmo Dorje Putri in the retinue of Dorje Shugden.

How is it possible that from roughly 1960 to 2016 the Dorje Shugden Dharmapala Methar was FORGOTTEN by the Tulkus and Lamas of Dorje Shugden?

For 56 years no Dorje Shugden Tulku or Lama properly placed Methar in the retinue of Dorje Shugden.

How is it possible that their stories of how they became Dorje Shugden Dharmapalas were FORGOTTEN BY EVERY DORJE SHUGDEN TULKU AND LAMA?

I am ashamed and disgusted by all the Dorje Shugden Tulkus and Lamas who lost track of and FORGOT two of Dorje Shugden's Dharmapalas.

All forgot them except for His Eminence Tsem Tulku Rinpoche.

If not for H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche you would all be still totally ignorant of both Methar and Shangmo Dorje Putri.

Are there still more lost and forgotten Dorje Shugden Dharmapalas out there?

We may never know.

What's more important? The deity and his top advisors or his retinue? Do you think we have to know every miniscule detail of the Shugden mandala? There's a reason why there's only a mantra for the entire retinue rather than miniscule mantras of certain protectors in the Shugden sadhana.  If there were a million attendees, would we really have to focus on honoring them? Or focus on trying to gain enlightenment through the deity? Just saying...
Yamantaka masters are able to add on spirits to the retinue of Yamantaka.  Yet, in the mandala of Yamantaka, do we really need to put all those countless amounts of worldly spirits or just focus on the traditional or more important deities?
