The fact that there are oracles taking trance of enlightened Protectors like Dorje Shugden is clear proof that such beings exist, that Buddhas exist and can communicate with ordinary people through the medium of oracles. Thus, oracles play an important role in the religious life of a community. They can be of tremendous help in difficult times when one needs advice from the divine when all other means have failed.

In almost all Dharma articles, sharings and teachings, Guru devotion is the common and main ingredient for successful spiritual growth. So, if we want to practice Dharma sincerely, the answer is pretty straight forward: have full faith in our Guru and execute His/Her instructions to the tee.

Back to oracles: I had the honor to meet a Protector Oracle. What hit me most about him was how pure and compassionate he was. I had the impression oracles are ferocious. However, the oracle I met only exuded gentle energy and kindness in going out of his way to help sentient beings by being a medium through which we can communicate with the divine.

I hear of the great discomfort oracles have to experience when the Protector enters. Not only do the oracles train hard and make constant effort to remain “clean”, they make a lifetime commitment to serve in this way. As always, the dedication to serve others of the sangha never fail to inspire and awe me. They are true heroes to humanity.

Even if a Lama picks someone to become as Oracle, the person would have created the causes and karma to be chosen. From the karma created, this person was chosen based on the best path for him to become Enlightened. So some lamas can ask to sweep the floor, cook, paint or to teach. All can lead to Enlightenment if the motivation is correct and the job done well.

To be chosen to do anything from being an Oracle to something less “glamorous” is all dependent on oneself to make that happen and not some “fate” or god chosen.

Thanks to DS.com for sharing such informative article. It has explained very clearly and easy to understand how to become an Oracle.

What I have learned from this article is that to become an Oracle is to benefit others and not for oneself. As an Oracle by helping others will gain tremendous merits and end results are enlightenment. To become an Oracle, firstly she or he must have Guru devotion and very clean samayas with the Lama. Whatever the Lama requested, it has to be fulfilled all the way! How fortunate it’s to be chosen as an Oracle!

Thank you ofor sharing this article. I have always wondered who an Oracle is being selected and now I have got the answer. Another thing that I learned is that to become an oracle is not because of the glamourous title but one should have the motivation to be enlightened and be selfless to help others.
