H.H. the Great Panchen Lama is the undisputed second in rank to the Dalai Lama in Tibet. In the Dalai Lama's absence, only the Panchen Lama is the universal lama that all Tibetans in Tibet would listen to. It was said by the Dalai Lama that he took care of Tibetans outside of Tibet while Panchen Lama took care of Tibetans within Tibet. HH Panchen Lama, the holder of all vast and profound lineages of sutra/tantra and Gaden Ear whispered lineage spoke for Buddhism and preservation of Buddhist culture until his death. He was kept under torture and prison for more than ten years but his incredible spirit could not be broken.
H.H. Panchen Lama was another great practitioner of Gyelchen Dorje Shugden. A Lama of his attainments and caliber practicing Dorje Shugden and having a chapel in his own Tashilunpo Monastery to this great protector which is active today cannot be mistaken. Dorje Shugden's practice is held in high esteem by highly attained lamas of the highest rank such as Panchen lama. Pujas to Dorje Shugden are carried out in Tashi lunpo Monastery everyday until now. The previous Panchen lamas have been the tutors to the previous Dalai Lamas many times. The Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama have had lama disciple relationships for many lifetimes.
Here H.E. Gangchen Rinpoche is pictured with Panchen Rinpoche. Gangchen Rinpoche's personal Monastery is very nearby Tashi lunpo in Shigatse. Gangchen Rinpoche is a great disciple of Panchen lama and they were very close. They would offer golden drink (serkym) to Dorje Shugden together for the welfare of practitioners. Gangchen Rinpoche himself comes from a long illustrious line of incarnations stemming from Mahasiddha Darikapa in India.
Gangchen Rinpoche has developed a set of incredible healing techniques that are very appropriate for modern times. The techniques use the four elements of the body, 5 chakras, light, chanting, hand and body mudras, the kalacakra tantra and visualizations on the 5 dhayani Buddhas. They are very effective to bring balance to the body, restore vigor, enhance meditations, heal sicknesses, heal depression, overcome anxiety and fear. Many people have attested to it and its popularity has grown tremendously among Rinpoche's followers in Europe, South America and Asia. Can see on Gangchen Rinpoche's website. Fantastic videos available. The incredible part is that prior to Rinpoche revealing the practices to his students, he consulted Dorje Shugden directly via the oracle. Dorje Shugden came in his peaceful form and spoke to Gangchen Rinpoche in the form of Dulzin. Dulzin said to proliferate this ancient healing technique. He was pleased and encouraged this practice. Lama Gangchen Rinpoche has tirelessly taught this practice many times. It is on video and in books. Very powerful, easy, adaptable and yet based on the ancient healing tantras of Tibet. Gangchen Rinpoche also produces very powerful blessing pills one can soak in water to drink or insert into creams to rub on affected areas that are very efficacious in healing. Very much sought after by Tibetans. Rinpoche has the kalacakra festival yearly also in his beautiful Northern retreat centre in Italy. In this festival yearly he passes down ancient oral transmissions, teachings and commentaries on Kalacakra and related. In Rinpoche's personal Monastery Kalacakra is highly esteemed. We are very fortunate that HE Gangchen Rinpoche continues to teach, travel and proliferate the dharma.
Here we have the photo uploaded in high quality so you may print out and keep on your shrines. May HH Panchen Rinpoche and the Mahasiddha Gangchen Rinpoche bless you always. |

Kyabje Trijang Dorje Chang had deep respect for Nechung, and practised Dorje Shugden.
Throughout their lifetimes as the tutors of His Holines the Dalai Lama, both great masters never had conflict and were so close with each other and had deep respect for each other. Why should there be conflict now?

ARE GREAT LAMAS FICKLE???
If the Dalai Lama can say that other lamas including his own lamas can be wrong, he is leading us onto a path, to believe he can be wrong also. That is a dangerous path we are choosing. Then in the end, no lamas has basis or can be right.

SANCTIFIED SECTARIANISM
The reason why dharmapala Dorje Shugden was asked by Nechung to arise was so that these teachings can be preserved, kept alive, and realized in the future, more and more degenerated times to come, in a word – for us.

LETTER OF THE DAY
If Dorje Shugden is the cause for Tibetans not getting independence up till now..then that would mean Dorje Shugden’s powers are greater than the combined powers of all the Dharma protectors of Tibet and all the four schools of Buddhism..could that be so?

MIDDLE WAY
In a nutshell’s nutshell, the middle way is the harmony of emptiness – the ultimate nature of everything, and dependent arising – the appearance of everything. As Je Tsongkhapa pointed out, unless grasping at even the most subtle concept of inherent existence is overcome, enlightenment can not happen, which has been misunderstood as nihilism.

UNIVERSAL PROTECTOR OF FUTURE BUDDHISM
“The southern gate is held closed in accordance with an old tradition that the chokyong Dorje Shugden is waiting at this entrance for the day to come on which he will be allowed to enter the monastery, to succeed Pehar as the chief dharmapala of Tibet…”

WHY NOT JUST KILL HIM?
In recent times again, such an attempt was again made and Dorje Shugden was declared ‘dead’. The very next day, he took trance and said this:
“They can bury me in earth,
drown me in water,
burn me in fire
but they cannot destroy
what is not object to destruction.
Do not worry – soon the sun will shine.”

GURU YIDAM PROTECTOR
The practice of analytic meditation should begin with the topic of how to serve a spiritual teacher.
If you contemplate skillfully for about seven days the benefits of serving a teacher and for about seven days also the faults of failing to serve a teacher, you will produce a mental transformation.

SUPRAMUNDANE AND MUNDANE DHARMA PROTECTORS
Like we stated earlier, his Holiness has to please many people. But it is hard to believe that the Dalai Lama would do something out of ignorance, and that He had to do further investigations to know what His famous predecessor thought. And to say that the unmistaken reincarnation of Panchen Sonam Drakpa – the only Lama in Tibetan history to have served as abbot of all three main Gelukpa monasteries, as well as Gaden Tripa – could have arisen as “malevolent force as result of misguided aspirations”, amounts to saying that a Buddha can become a demon...

PURPOSES OF THE CONTROVERSY – SPREADING DHARMA WITHOUT AND WITHIN
As Buddha Shakyamuni did with his “evil” cousin Devadatta, to subdue the dualistic minds of their students and to strengthen the Buddhadharma’s roots in this world, enlightened masters have always enacted dramas of “good versus evil”, acted as if insane, and appeared in any form they knew suitable for the various dispositions of people, from hedonistic priests to holy prostitutes, from winos to demons. As we can check with the scriptures, a Buddha can even manifest as a chair, and only a Buddha can know what’s what and who’s who.
We’d be very smart not to judge...

THE DALAI LAMA’S AND TIBETAN BUDDHISM’S WAY INTO OUR WORLD
Quite literally, His Holiness’ way from isolated Tibet onto the stage of the world at large was paved by Gyalchen Dorje Shugden.
In 1959, in Tibet ’s besieged capitol, Lhasa , as HH Trijang Rinpoche writes in his autobiography, he was increasingly worried about His Holiness’ safety. The state oracle’s advice having not been clear so far, Trijang Rinpoche consulted with Dorje Shugden via Panglung Monastery’s oracle, who urged His Holiness to leave immediately, giving precise instructions for a safe escape. For example, Dorje Shugden aviced to use the southern route out of Lhasa, which turned out to be the only one not fully taken by the Red Army. Kungo Phala, the Dalai Lama's Chamberlain, said later that everything happened just as the Dharmapala had predicted...

WHAT GYALCHEN DORJE SHUGDEN WANTS
Dorje Shugden wants us to practice authentic Dharma and gain authentic attainments. He wants us to get onto a valid path and keep us from straying from it; from falling into the abysses of eternalism and nihilism and the unfortunate karma created by doing so.
Does he feel only Lozang the Victorious One’s Teachings – Je Tsongkhapa’s Geluk tradition – are authentic and valid?
We don’t think so! An enlightened being is, of course, universal...

SECTARIANISM
A few thoughts on sectarianism. Names are just conventions, and Je Tsongkhapa or Gelukpa are not about a person or a club, but about an enlightened presentation and transmission of Buddha’s teachings. It is all so far removed from sectarianism when the holy Nyingma, Sakya, Kagyu and Geluk schools praise their lineage and do whateverer they can to prevent it from degenerating, which is so very hard in today’s world where self-cherishing is the god we worship, and where the easiest way is always the best...
