DO YOU HAVE THIS?
« on: December 04, 2013, 01:11:42 AM »
I chanced by this pic of the cover of a prayer to the 5 lineages of Dorje Shugden by HH the 10th Panchen Lama somewhere on the net. Does anyone have the prayer in Tibetan or the translation????

This is exciting and a new revelation for everyone in the Tibetan world of Buddhism. First of its kind! A prayer to DS by the Panchen Lama. How powerful!

If you have this copy, please please please scan in and post here on dorjeshugden.com so that everyone can benefit. It would be good also if you can send into the admin so that we can put on the website too!

I don't have the text written by the 10th Panchen Lama but I found the following account in the Yellow Book that reveals a chequered history of Dorje Shugden and the previous Panchen Lamas. In it, the previous Panchen Lama was believed to have also composed a similar praise of Dorje Shugden as a peace offering. I can't vouch for the accuracy of this translation but I do feel it is a divine play of sorts between the Panchen Lama and Dorje Shugden to highlight the special abilities of Dorje Shugden.

-----------------------
 
All knowing Losang Palden Choekyi Dakpa was the lord of the Doctrine and from a very young age proved himself as an eminent scholar. He thus had great potential to serve the Dharma and sentient beings. But he did not make the flawless and well established teachings of the Dharma Raja Lama Tsongkhapa as his principal practice. But instead he studied many treasure texts of Nyingma order and did meditation on those teachings. These were mentioned in his autobiography. Dorjee Shugden repeatedly asked him not
to do that. He got annoyed with the deity and performed a wrathful and despicable ritual to burn it. Along with other ingredients he put a thanka of deity in the fire. But the fire could not consume the thanka. Then he took out the thanka and put it under the steps of his door in Tashi Lhunpo. Because of those actions, the Panchen Rinpoche became ill and eventually passed away in the water-sheep year of the 15th rapjung when he was only thirty years of age. In this way the Panchen Rinpoche was unsuccessful in his Dharma propagation deeds.
 
His successor, Panchen losang Thubten Choekyi Nyima Gelek Namgyal too faced a great deal of problems (as a consequence). Because of misunderstanding between his monastery and the Tibetan Government, he
had to escape to Mongolia. Later he wished to come back to U- Tsang, but there were unsurmountable hurdles and he could not succeed. At the age of fifty five, in the year fire-ox, he passed away in Kyigudo. A year before he passed away, Je Phaphongkha Rinpoche Dechen Nyingpo came to pay his respects. During that meeting, the Panchen Rinpoche told Phaphongkha Rinpoche that since Phaphongkha Rinpoche was the incarnation of Lodo Balpa, the Tashi Lhunpo monastery naturally had respect and faith in him. The Panchen Rinpoche asked him to give teachings and also asked him to take out the thanka of Shugden deity which was buried by the previous Panchen Rinpoche. In accordance with the instructions of the Panchen Rinpoche, Je phaphongkha went to Tashi Lhunpo monastery in the year of iron-dragon of the 16th rapjung. There he gave many religious sermonsincluding the lamrim teachings. He also took out the thanka of the
Shugden deity and put it in a shrine in the Tashi Lhunpo and worshipped it. Phaphongkha Rinpoche composed a text which was a kind of agreement and understanding between the monastery and the deity.
 
The next Panchen Rinpoche, Panchen Losang Thinley Lhundup Choekyi Gyaltsen was born in Amdo. He displayed various remarkable deeds which were clear signals of his greatness. When he came to U-Tsang, certain impediments delayed his enthronement. Soon after his arrival to Tashi Lhunpo, he composed a prayer to Dorjee Shugden which helped creating harmony between the deity and the Panchen Rinpoche. However, later things changed. There was a statue of Shugden in a shrine in the palace. When it was seen by the spiritual tutor of the Panchen Rinpoche, Yongzin Kachen Ang Nyima, he told one of the attendants to take out the devil's statue from there. When it was referred to the Panchen Rinpoche, he told the attendant to keep it where the teacher could not see. The tutor disliked Shugden and often told the Panchen Rinpoche that they practice pure kadampa tradition and that if he sought many deities, it could ruin him. The tutor banned the usual practice of propitiating Gyalchen Shugden at Tashi Lhunpo and the oracle karma, too, was banned from invoking the deity. The special invocation during the new year was also banned. Since
then many bad omen occurred one after the other. A battle broke between the Shikatse soldiers and the Tashi Lhunpo subjects. The Tutor Ang Nyima himself fell from his horse two times. Several ominous incidents happened during the opening ceremony of the new palace, Dechen Phodrang. Because of these, they had to restore the practice of worshipping Gyalchen Shugden. On the invitation of China, the Panchen Rinpoche left for China in the wood-horse year. Soon after the Panchen Rinpoche had departed
from Tsang, unprecedented flood rushed from Gyaltse. The flooding totally washed away Kunkyobling, the main residential complex for many Panchen Lamas. Yongzin Ang Nyima could not return home and finally
succumbed to an insect bite. Because the Panchen Rinpoche did not practice a pure philosophical tenet, unending disasters followed one after the other.

This is legendary.  A most eminent and lineage master played out the divine part of the importance of maintaining and following the instruction of Dorje Shugden in the purity of practising the Doctrine. 

It is an emphasis of the importance of not diluting or distorting Je Tsongkhapa practice that can become an undesirable 'fruit cake' that has no optimum result or goal.  The important function of the uncommon protector of Je Tsongkhapa, Lord Dorje Shugden, is protecting the purity of Je Tsongkhapa's doctrine from defilement and prevent it from degeneration for the untainted enlightenment of all.

Thanks for sharing the story from the Yellow Book, Big Uncle. It is so sad to be reminded that politics about Dorje Shugden was prevalent throughout - including from the spiritual tutor of the Panchen Rinpoche, Yongzin Kachen Ang Nyima!

By the way, I am curious who "Lodo Balpa" was? Could anyone please explain or elaborate?

I understand that Panchen Rinpoche tried to burn the Dorje Shudgen' thangka but fire could not consume the thangka. subsequently he took out the thangka and put it under his step of the door. Because of that he was sick and passed away in early age of thirty. This is contradicting to those said that those practise Dorje shudgen will get harm or shorten life. The story shared from big uncle said otherwise. Is it right so far all the negative comments towards Dorje Shudgen?

Panchen Lama is an emanation of Amitabha while Dorje Shugden is an emanation of Manjushri. Both Buddha will surely not harming anyone or get hurt.

Definitely practicing Dorje Shugden will not harm us. There are so many high lamas who practiced Dorje Shugden such as Pabongka Rinpoche, Trijang Rinpoche, Zong Rinopche are reincarnated. Therefore all the negative comments about Dorje Shugden are not true. 

In my humble opinion, for this case that Panchen Lama fell sick and passed away in the early age, one of the reasons was due to Panchen Lama is manifesting this play to show us that it is important for not diluting or distorting Je Tsongkhapa practice and it is not Dorje Shugden that causing the sickness or death but it is all because we have creating the cause of bad karma.

Btw, it would be good if anyone can share if they have the prayer as mentioned by jagger. It will surely stop the rumous between Panchen Lama and Dorje Shugden. This may also help more people to check out and understand further the relationship between Panchen Lama and Dorje Shugden and creating the cause of the ban to be lifted. 8)

I can’t wait to see the prayer of Dorje Shugden by the HH 10th Panchen Lama!  ;)

The Panchen Lama and possibly Pabongka Rinpoche is spreading he pure buddha dharma in the East, we have Trijang Dorjechang in the WEST providing hope and inspiration for all Gelug practitioners and the Lama Tsongkhapa tradition.

I do think that the emergence of the ban has helped people to be very firm with their practice, plus many of the supreme Gelug lamas have come to the fore front and they are truly bringing the dharma to everyone around the globe. May we hear soon more recent news of Pabongka Rinpoche teaching the buddha dharma soon again.
