Thank you Dsiluvu , for sharing this rare glimpse into the level of devotion one has for the Dharma Protector!
Simply amazing and priceless this offering, in terms of the craftsmanship and material being used. The rarity of finding such a large chunk of red coral must have put the skills of the craftsman/ artist to test. One really have to appreciated that there is very very little margin of error in achieving the level of detail achieved here.

Truly one of a kind , may we all have the fortune to behold this gem.

Yeah you can actually feel the devotion of the artist to Dorje Shugden through this image judging from the handiwork and the fine details that are on that block of coral. There is no margin for error - one mistake and the big chunk of coral would be wasted and it would have to either be thrown away or something else be carved from it that would be smaller and probably not so detailed or fine as the artist has to find ways to cover his or her own mistakes when doing the tsatsa.

The image of Dorje Shugden is beautifully carved on a piece of coral.  It is exquisite, wish that one day I will have the merits to see this image in person.

For now I feel blessed to even have viewed just the photo.  Thank you contributor of this article.

Really awesome piece of art. To be able to do it in a coral must have been done by someone with great love and devotion to Dorje Shugden.
Even in Mongolia the people can practice DS freely and lets hope the ban be lifted officially soon and the whole world can practice openly and without fear.

Creating such a beautiful coral Dorje Shugden tsatsa is very beneficial.

"...People who make Buddha images, will possess bright eyes and elegant looks in their after lives; their physical bodies, arms and feet are well-proportioned. Even if they are born as gods, with radiant eyes and countenance, their immaculateness outshines other gods of any realms.
..." www.buddhadordenma.org/makingbuddha.php

This tsatsa is exceptional. The coral itself was beautiful and the creator skillful to bring this supreme Dorje Shugden to life.
