I was introduced to Dorje Shugden together with my parents 18 years ago. Little did I know then of the difficulties that were up ahead for all of us, with the passing away of my dad. At the time, I was just a spoilt rich girl who got almost everything I wanted.
My family was rather privileged and we even had a maid and a driver. When my dad passed away, our life crashed as everything “good” was taken away from us.
I remember my mum invited a Dorje Shugden statue back home then and diligently prayed to him everyday. When I look back now, I realize that everything that could have gone wrong within my family was saved and averted.
In spite of the financial difficulties we faced after my dad’s passing, my mother managed to still support the family and put all three of us children through our higher education at prestigious universities.
My brother, at the very last minute, even managed to obtain a good scholarship, which meant that I was then able to go abroad to study at a good university too.
Earlier last year, my brother almost lost his job when his company, a very well-known, multi-national IT group, was declared bankrupt and had to sell their company division by division. He had huge financial personal loans and we were worried – it would be difficult for him to find another job at his age and with his skill set, which is very specialized and niche.
However, he did his prayers diligently every day to Dorje Shugden; my mother also had very strong faith in the Protector and prayed consistently to him to seek his blessings and assistance. Recently, he received a call from his head office in Europe with good news. In spite of all the recent problems, they had decided to promote him because of his loyalty and his valuable expertise in his field of work.
It’s quite strange for me to look back and see that whatever decisions my family took, things would always turn out fine. And we know we owe it all to Dorje Shugden as he has been guiding and protecting us throughout the years, right up to this very moment.
