We have been informed the Dorje Shugden graphics novel (comic) has gained great popularity among the many Shugden practitioners in the USA. It is in great demand both in the USA and in the Shugden Monasteries of India and Tibet.
Many are purchasing and downloading the graphics novel. Even those who are not practicing or against Shugden are curious and wish to see the graphics novel. Practitioners are very happy to have an illustrated book to share and explain how Dorje Shugden came to be. It is a clear and concise novel in full color. The graphic novel is suitable for all ages!
We at the website are very happy for this information as we put quite alot of efforts and resources into the development of this graphics novel on Shugden. We are very proud of this comic book as it contributes to the growth of Dorje Shugden.

(We have already distributed over 10,000 copies of the Shugden Graphics Novel all around the world so far. We will continue. The unethical ban must be dissolved.)
(Below is a picture of Ven Zawa Rinpoche who resides in Canada happily holding the graphics novel sharing it with his young student. This picture was sent to us by friends.)

The Dorje Shugden Comic Novel is a brilliant way of introducing the story of the Protector and explaining the origins of this Buddha. I was really pleasantly surprised to see it when I was visiting some friends in Melbourne, Australia. What pleased me very much was how this group of friends who were not in the least inclined to studying about religion was actually able to tell the Shugden story perfectly and a few have since become regular visitors to this forum.
Dorje Shugden's story is so unique and compelling but have been corrupted by untruths. Having this Comic gets the truth across in an entertaining way, introduces Dorje Shugden to people of all ages so that they can come to be blessed by its practice.

Cracked me up it did to see the photo on Rinpoches wall...what a joker hahaha well at least now we know clearly who he is affliated with in this ban! ;) did you guys see on his wall, someone asked where they can get the comic from and if Zawa Rinpoche cannot tell them, then theyll ask Gonsar Rinpoche? Hahaha and Zawa Rinpoche says hell send them a copy... funny stuff, nice to know this website has support from all practitioners!

When my eyes first caught sight of this, my heart simply melted into bits. Not only with the fact that HE Zawa Rinpoche has gotten access to these beautiful pieces of art which has illustrated the beautiful life of our sacred protector, Dorje Shugden but has also educated the younger generation with it.
This reminds us how important it is to be able to share the teachings with our kids and young ones because it will nurture them into the future so that they will be safe from both ends. In their secular life, they will have a source of guidance - Dorje Shugden and in their spiritual life, they will have Dorje Shugden as their spiritual guide as well.
It is good stuff man because even in the comic itself, the story sparks off with a monk talking to a boy who is lost. These stories are real and is now coming to life!
thank you dorjeshugden.com peeps!

What's best in cartons / comics is that - they are easily understood and welcome by all ages!
I LOVE cartons and comics since young, in fact, almost all my general knowledge were obtained by reading children's books with loads of illustration and pictures. Hence it is no surprise that the DS comics book is well sort after and well distributed! Kudos to whoever came out with the brilliant idea!
This comic should be given to young children as part of their reading materials! So they grow up with DS :)

The graphic novel is a very good way to spread the lineage of Dorje Shugden as it provides its readers an entrance into the history of Tibet and Dorje Shugden. In the graphic novel, the world introduced by the artist and the writer imprints the image of Dorje Shugden within the mind stream of those who read it or even see the front cover. This graphic novel will benefit many others. I am very happy that many people are being touched by the graphic novels. May it benefit many more people!
-
Not only is Dorje Shugden graphic novel popular in India, Tibet or USA it has also found its way to Canada into the hands of Ven Zawa Rinpoche. :)
The graphic novel is a great way to introduce Dorje Shugden to newbies of all ages. It explained about the truth of Dorje Shugden in a clear, concise and interesting way. It will appeal even to the kids.
Kudos again to the brilliant hardworking team for always finding new ways to spread Dorje Shugden to the world.

I must agree that the Dorje Shugden comic book is very popular amongst practitioners all over the world. Now we see a picture of Zawa Rinpoche sharing it with his student. It shows that the comics is endorsed by him and was posted all over his Facebook page. I'm sure there are more Rinpoches or lamas who likes the book and would share with their students. It also means that the information in the book is genuine. Not just a fable.
I personally has a friend in the UK who bought 15 copies of the comics. He says he wants to give them to his friends and also to donate to the library at his Buddhist centre. Rejoice in hearing such great news!
-
The comic book is a brilliant idea. It is not only colorful and attracts one to browse it, the information in it is also simple and easy to understand. It will surely capture the attention of young people who may not have the inclination to read a dharma book filled with holy words. The story line also begins with a scene so familiar to us. From there on, the facts are laid out to the reader in an easy to digest way. I will surely like to purchase some copies to be given to some young people. May more people everywhere will gain access to this comic and be guided by the true facts.

Best of all, the graphic novel's main "storyline" is based on Zong Rinpoche's teaching on Dorje Shugden, so it is from a valid source. If you check Zong Rinpoche's account on Dorje Shugden here http://dorjeshugden.com/wp/?p=11618 (http://dorjeshugden.com/wp/?p=11618) you will find that the graphic novel is a very accurate account of it, from every detail. This is also what makes the graphic novel so special.
When it is in the form of a graphic novel, his biography becomes clearer and easier to understand when compared to text as people are more receptive towards imagery compared to words. This is why the graphic novel is a very powerful way to help spread awareness on Dorje Shugden. It should be distributed at more places as everybody can understand the pictures, if not the words.
Dorje Shugden's biography is very relevant to many people today as it is not very often that we get a story of a Dharma protector that arose from someone who was murdered out of jealousy…there are many people these days who can relate to that as many people often fall victim to unhappy situations due to the jealousy of others. And despite that Dorje Shugden rose to a Buddha and this will inspire a lot of people.
Besides, there are so many horror movies these days with the same theme where the main character was killed out of jealousy and then comes back as a ghost for revenge, this story is a Buddhist version of those stories and provides a refreshing view of how the outcome would be: instead of seeking revenge, the main character benefits others...

Interesting! Lord Shugden graphic novel spreading all over the world and the most fascinating new is even kids are grabbing one. For the practitioners it’s a blessing to have a graphic visual that make the story more easily to understand.
The non-practitioners it makes them learn more with the interesting colourful graphic novel. This will indirectly educate these people to know who this great protector is. Wonderful!
The passions of the devoted people that come up with this novel are extremely great! Always produce interesting material to promote Lord Shugden and it benefits a lot of people.
Hope to see more interesting stuff.
Great work!

It is nice to see that the comic is in the hands of Tulkus like Zawa Tulku Rinpoche. He must be reading this website and forum too. With more and more people having access to such eye-opening 'literature' that doesn't talk about the ban in any way, it makes Dorje Shugden more and more credible and accessible. That's just wonderful.
I am sure such accessible literature would contribute towards people's understanding of the Dorje Shugden's history and background better. The world needs more accessible literature that brings to life, Dorje Shugden's story. Literature for and against the ban is passe now. It is time for people to find out the truth of Dorje Shugden. The time for the ban to uplift Dorje Shugden has past. It is time to proliferate who and what he is about and to encourage towards having faith in him.
-
This is a really warm picture of Zawa Tulku Rinpoche, he is so warm and kind thats the energy he exudes in abundance. And it shows people are people in the sense that they know what is good for them, dorje shugden is definitely beneficial for them Zawa Tulku Rinpoche on his facebook gave a translation of the video of Chatring monastery for the benefit of others. As more dorje shugden spreads it will create more chinks in CTA's armour.

I am one of the proud owners of the Dorje Shugden graphic novel, and I attest to this great animated book. I love the front cover, back cover, the quality of the paper and printing, and most of all the storyline.
It is so handy to carry in my briefcase and I share it with colleagues at work and friends at parties and most of these people were in awe of the aforesaid.
Before I bought this copy, I had downloaded it but nothing beats the real copy and it only costs $8.00! What a steal!

Rejoice! All your hard work for the purpose of benefitting people around the world are now spreading! How Wonderful! I am very sure many of us who are on this website owns a copy each. As for me, I downloaded into my PC so I can carry around and show friends when I have the chance. I also email and print copies to people who are not familiar so that they can read up and understand the ban rather than hearing it through the grapevine. Love the colors and animation! KUDOS!

Wow! The graphic novel of Dorje Shugden is surely one of the most effective ways of promoting and spreading the knowledge about who Dorje Shugden is and why doing his practice is so important and beneficial. The fact that Ven Zawa Rinpoche is shown here sharing the reading of the graphic novel with a young boy shows that this novel is so very popular and has captivated the hearts and minds of Lamas, monks and ordinary folk worldwide; parallel with this is the widespread impact of this website, as the graphic novel must have spread via this website, by people from far and wide downloading it.
Just the other day, I was watching a young boy grab a Dorje Shugden graphic novel at a book fair and reading it. He sat there so very engrossed for over an hour and was oblivious to the world around him. Yes, young and old are easily drawn to this well-crafted graphic novel.
-
The graphic novel on Dorje Shugden is perhaps the most brilliant idea conceptualised and manifested... Thank you dorjeshugden.com for creating this to benefit so many people of all ages! It is an excellent way to educate and give the true story to the world about DS.
I have given this book to many of my non-Buddhist friends and they found it interesting and intriguing. Some even said there should be movie made and that it'll be blast. I hope one day some smart producer/director will pick this comic book up and do a movie from it! I can imagine it being a big hit on the big screen, and even all those silly CTAs would wanna watch it lol!!!
-
This website has been very inspiring and dedicating. I love the way they promote Dorje Shugden and the brilliant ideas of reaching out this practice to the rest of the world. I guess their marketing team behind is very strong huh? hehe.. Anyways, knowing that ds practitioners especially monks in monastery are "well taken care" of by this team, I feel happy. We know monks hardly get out of monastery, so chances for them to get all sorts of material to practice ds is slim. Now that this website is so kind to send them the necessities and provide convenience to them. Very very kind actions.
Please keep this up and continue to put in more effort to make the ban be lifted! Very kind of you, ds website team.

This website has provided a lot and a lot of information on Dorje Shugden, which other sites have not been able to provide. Perhaps some information here might have been taken from other sites, but this website made it easier to find all the information, all in one place. If previously information was very fragmented everywhere about Dorje Shugden, this website unified all the information and provided even more details and updates, sometimes directly from the monasteries.
This website has also spearheaded the sending of mails and emails to various organizations that are related to CTA around the world to help spread awareness about the ban and how it is affecting people, as well as the historical and logical loopholes that the ban was really based on. Without that effort, I do not think that the Dalai Lama would have eased a little on the Dorje Shugden ban…the latest vide of Dalai Lama speaking proves that point.
The graphical novel is just one of the many resources that we can use to help dispel the misunderstandings that arise due to the ban and show everyone that Dorje Shugden is not as bad as he seems to be. This is on top of the brochure and prayer card that can be distributed to the public to bring more awareness about Dorje Shugden instead of allowing the misinformation to dominate. And then there are so many precious biographies and prayers here that are not on other Dorje Shugden related websites.
Last but not least, this forum helps share and contribute a lot of ideas and generate a lot of buzz and discussion about Dorje Shugden and the clearing of misunderstandings. This website can be said as the main force and the contributor to the overcoming of the ban, if i may say so myself, looking at the amount of work and results that this website has produced. And this website will gain more momentum and will continue to grow.

Cracked me up it did to see the photo on Rinpoches wall...what a joker hahaha well at least now we know clearly who he is affliated with in this ban! ;) did you guys see on his wall, someone asked where they can get the comic from and if Zawa Rinpoche cannot tell them, then theyll ask Gonsar Rinpoche? Hahaha and Zawa Rinpoche says hell send them a copy... funny stuff, nice to know this website has support from all practitioners!
This is very funny! I saw the same posting on Zawa Rinpoche's facebook which made me giggle - more so because of how it must be making the CTA and anti-shugden oppressors squirm in their seats!
I rejoice in seeing the news and am happy to know that 10,000 copies have reached the hands of people everywhere. Did you also send copies to the CTA? I delight in the idea that they are all sitting in a quiet corner in their offices in Dharamsala, secretly reading the books and loving it. (And why not, after all, with Samdhong Rinpoche's little revelation, it wouldn't surprise me if many of them are also Super Secret Shugden Agents). Even if they aren't Shugden practitioners, the books would do them a lot of good - little blessings to soothe their agitated, angry, oppressive minds.
My own dear teacher was very happy to see the comic book online. I hope you know that people are reading, even in the most unlikely places in the world, and it makes them happy to know of the efforts that are put into making this practice survive. He laughed and laughed when we showed him the book online and gave a thumbs up. He cannot read that much English but he knows what it is about, we explained it to him and he laughed again. He looked at all the pictures of the Dalai Lama and Dorje Shugden, like he was searching for an old friend. I heard him telling someone about it again later that day.
I hope that the people who have been beaten down for their practices, ostracised, discriminated against, hurt and abandoned will see this post and know that there are people who are rooting for them, and doing so much to bring up the name of the Dharmapala. I hope they know that this book about Shugden's life, story and powerful practice has reached the hands of 10,000 people, and that for every person who is suffering from the ban, another few hundred are just discovering the magic of Dorje Shugden.
Thank you for your efforts and may Shugden always continue to be in our world.

I like the bliss, calm and happiness radiating from Zawa Tulku Rinpoche! He has an aura of care surrounding him, that is portrayed in the picture where he happily shared with his young student the comic book of Dorje Shugden. It's very nice to see that Zawa Tulku Rinpoche's deep care for his students transpires into him bringing the practice of Dorje Shugden to them and educating them. Lovely to see that the younger generation has spirituality instilled within their lives, as exemplified here by Zawa Rinpoche, to prepare them for all the problems that they will face in living. Dharma is the best form of knowledge that we can pass down to the younger generation, and bringing them the Dharma hows our deep love, care and concern for them.
The illustrated comic of Dorje Shugden is very attractive, eye catching and.. easy to read. Having books that are easy to read are more feasible in today's society where everyone is so caught up and busy with other things, that they are not able to find the time to sit down and read a book that is heavy. So by having this comic book, people are more willing to pick it up to read, thus the seeds of Dorje Shugden will be planted in many more mindstreams. 10,000 copies around the world, is excellent news!! I hope everything that the team behind dorjeshugden.com does will eventually lead to this unfair ban being lifted! Thank you dorjeshugden.com!

It isn't surprising that many people like the comic book. Where else can you find such a simple yet informational comic book on Dorje Shugden?
I personally learned A LOT by reading the comic. The best part is after reading this comic I was yearning for more knowledge. Thankfully, at the back of the comic book was the web address of dorjeshugden.com. That was when I started to actively browse the website and forum. I wouldn't say my knowledge on Dorje Shugden is excellent but my knowledge has definitely improved. Personally, the knowledge I've gained has also increased my faith in Dorje Shugden's practice.
I am a person who is not easily convinced. But after doing some research, reading up the comic, websites and other materials on Dorje Shugden, I am sure He is a Buddha! All the evidences are out there..we just have to spend some time to read up.
If you have not, start with the comic! You'll want to find out more after that for sure.
-
The novel is informative and easy to read. I'm not a comic fan. But the visuals help me understand the biography of Dorje Shugden. It's like watching a movie. The contents appeal to both young and old. I believe it's important for more people to understand the history of Dorje Shugden. This will help more people see that HHDL is working on a bigger goal as his claims on Dorje Shugden's practice are contradictory.
What would be more amazing is someone making a movie from this comic. It can be animated or with real actors. Then more people will know about Dorje Shugden and start the practice. For a start, let's print out the comic and give away to our family and friends.
-
Now that you mentioned a movie, I remember reading online afew years back that some Westerners were trying to produce a movie on DS. They had a website and people can make donations to support the production. Do you know anything about it; if the movie has been produced? Perhaps production cost would be too high in the best. Hopefully some DS stalwart in China or Thailand can pick up this idea as production cost could be lower in these countries.

Sadly, there doesnt seem to be good news on the Dorje Shugden Movie front. Their website (www.dorjeshugdenmovie.com (http://www.dorjeshugdenmovie.com)) is no longer available. And their MySpace page is not active. I wonder what happened? Last I heard they were running into some trouble but no more details than that. What a shame.
I wonder if the owners of this website will be interested to produce a Dorje Shugden movie? That would be a wonderful project albeit expensive, but would bring the word of Dorje Shugden to so many (oh dear, do I sound christian?)
In all seriousness, the folks at dorjeshugden.com have done more than most to promote this practice. And a movie or novel would be the next obvious step to take. Webmasters, admins, if you are reading, please please consider doing this.

Congratulations! I must said that your hard work paid off! Not only you guys have been feeding us the latest information on Dorje Shugden, you have also developed merchandise for the benefits of all. The brochures and free download materials have always been a hit. It is inevitable that the comic would be a sell out! The graphic is so nice and such great quality. It really worth owning a copy or two, okay, maybe a lot of them!
It is actually a very nice gifts for people to make them understand the lineage and the life story of the precious protector. Moreover it's a blessing, it's dual benefit!!! It doesn't just stop there, it helps to create awareness about the ban, for people to find out more and help to life the ban soonest.
I am sure this website has been one of the major portal for many monks, geshes, Rinpoches and scholars. Seeing Zawa Rinpoche compassionately gave the comic novel to a young girl, we know Dorje Shugden's practice is not stopping. In fact, there are many who is doing so much to help life the ban. Klein has mentioned about the movie. Maybe it's time?
Any takers? It's going to a big hit, dharma will spread into ten thousands directions... ...

Hopefully some DS stalwart in China or Thailand can pick up this idea as production cost could be lower in these countries.
Hong Kong would be even better. :)
-
I look forward to the movie.
Thank you for your dedication!

-
I am so happy Dorje Shugden comic book is gaining great popularity across the globe. It is easy to read and understand. It definitely appeals to the young people around the world and they will be educated and have strong faith towards Dorje Shugden teaching. This comic book will create the causes for more Shugdenpas to arise and surely counter all the bad rumours created to put down Dorje Shugden. It will contribute to lifting the ban of Dorje Shugden practice.
-
I rejoice in hearing the good news of what this website has done for people around the world!! More than 10,000 copies already been distributed around the world? Wow!! I am sure it is not cheap to print the comics and distribute it all over the world.. I don't see any donations button in this forum, but I did find away to donate through your online shop:
