As is shown here, innumerable mahasiddhas, yogis and highly attained masters of the Gelugpa lineage have practiced and depended heavily on Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden to preserve and spread the Dharma of Je Tsongkhapa . Their disciples who are great Lamas of today have also been entrusted to preserve and spread the Dharma of Je Tsongkhapa through relying on the help and protection of Dorje Shugden, for the benefit of all beings. We can thus draw faith from this and put our whole trust in devotion to Dharmapala Dorje Shugden. Nonetheless, we must not forget that His Holiness is an emanation of Chenrezig. Hence every one of his actions must stem from pure Bodhicitta motivation.

What about Zong Rinpoche, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Lama Yeshe, Khen Rinpoche Losang Tharchin, Geshe Rabten, Geshe Lhundrub Sopa, Lati Rinpoche, Ribur Rinpoche, Gelek Rinpoche, Serkong Rinpoche, Gonsar Rinpoche, Zasep tulku etc etc etc? What about Kyabje Domo Geshe Rinpoche, who the Thirteenth Dalai Lama himself regarded as an emanation of Je Tsongkhapa? What about the previous Serkong Rinpoche, who the Thirteenth Dalai Lama regarded as being Vajradhara himself, adding the appellation “Dorjechang” (Vajradhara) to his name? SO MANY GREAT GELUG LAMAS AND THEIR THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS ALL PRACTICED DORJE SHUGDEN. IMPOSSIBLE THEY CAN BE 'SUDDENLY' WRONG. THEY ARE NOT WRONG. DEFINITELY NOT WRONG.
