how you can help

Everyone who loves Dorje Shugden and is involved in this great website should make it well-known. It is also a tribute to all the great masters who, out of their loyalty to this practice, have suffered difficult times within their own societies, for our sakes.

Helping this website to reach many will help Dorje Shugden’s practice to become firm and continue to grow. This website is a support group, not connected with any Lamas, centers, individuals or political parties, and has no agenda except to spread knowledge about Dorje Shugden.

 

1. Advertise this website

Add it onto any email listings, directories, forums or websites that you can think of in any creative way.

 

2. Create links to this website

Do this from your own or any other websites.

 

3. Send out mass emails

Send it to Dharma organizations throughout the world. List it in your own Dharma organization and its branches. Everyone should do a search online, find at least 10 Dharma centers each and email them this link!

We are not asking anyone to go on rallies, protests or demonstrations, but to create awareness of Dorje Shugden through this website. These are peaceful methods to achieve Dharma ends. We have to speak up the right way. You can be loyal to your own centers but, at the same time, also create more connections to other Dorje Shugden practitioners.

Many are confused or are thirsty for more knowledge. Think of how you have felt before. We need to speak the truth without agenda, bearing the law of cause and effect in mind. We should send this website especially to centers and people who have become confused and “given” up the practice. We shouldn’t give up on anyone. Knowledge will dispel doubts.

 

4. Be more interactive

Participate on the forum of this website, making it very ‘alive’ and well-known so that more readers and other Buddhist forums will take notice and also join in.

Many participants on other Buddhist forums are very new so they know very little about the Dorje Shugden issue. If we can reach out to them first with true information on our Protector, then truth will spread. Dorje Shugden’s practice will grow faster for the benefit of many, as was the wish of Kyabje Pabongka Dorje Chang.

 

5. Word of mouth

Spread news and information about or from this website by telling everyone you know about it.

 

6. Put up notices at your center’s bulletin boards

Create awareness of this website. If we can take an hour out each day to do our sadhana, then we can also take 15 minutes out a day to create e-awareness as an extension of our sadhana. Somebody worked very hard so we can practice and receive the benefits of Dorje Shugden. So in turn, we should spend some time for others who will benefit tremendously from his practice too. Just as we are taught in the six paramitas, apply effort, enthusiasm, wisdom, patience, etc., for others via this website.

 

7. Email this link to non-Gelug and Gelug centers that oppose Dorje Shugden

The people of these centers will most likely just look grudgingly at the email and delete the link as soon as they can, but it might just penetrate a few curious people. That would create more awareness among non-Gelug practitioners as well as Gelugpas who reject our Protector Dorje Shugden. What could we lose from doing this? At least they will know that contrary to the wishes of opposing forces, Dorje Shugden is growing and their attempts to oppose this practice are not successful.

 

8. Find Lamas throughout the world who practice Dorje Shugden

Offer them, their centers and students awareness of this website. It would be fantastic to receive a note of encouragement posted from these great Lamas, to be posted up on this website. What a blessing that would be!

Look at the many beautiful pictures of our lineage Lamas and other great Masters, do research and start writing to these masters to request for a note of blessings and encouragement to be posted up here.

 

9. Send more information

Send the website more information, articles, photos, inspirational news and articles about how Dorje Shugden has helped you, to be posted up and shared with other readers on this website.

You could even talk about some of the people you’ve met who opposed the practice and how they discouraged you (without mentioning their names, of course). Let others know that they are not alone.

 

10. Leave a testimonial

A special section in this website has been created to feature special inspirational stories of how Dorje Shugden has helped practitioners specifically, how they did the practice or what problems, crisis and difficulties Dorje Shugden helped them overcome. Contribute your stories to this; get friends from your community or center to send in their stories too.

This is fantastic. Many would enjoy reading these stories and feel inspired by them. Many will have huge job problems which Dorje Shugden helped to overcome almost instantly upon prayer. We should share these stories so that faith in Dorje Shugden will grow.



11.  Translate this website

We should ask friends to translate this website into other languages (this can be done in parts) and submit these translations to the webmaster to be posted up. Then, we can start to have an international language section.

By doing this, the website would penetrate more people and languages.

These are just some of our ideas and we would like to request everyone who visits this website and forum to post other ideas, and to actively spread the knowledge of this fantastic website. We do not have many Dorje Shugden websites, so we should cherish this one and make it grow.

With folded hands, we request you to please create greater awareness among fellow practitioners of our powerful Protector Dorje Shugden. Think of how many more people could benefit from this practice if only they knew about him. This website can help in creating that awareness. That has always been our first and only purpose in spending hundreds of hours to create this website.

In a way, we ‘owe‘ this to Dorje Shugden too. We owe this effort to all those who need help on their Dharma path. We are always praying to Dorje Shugden and his fantastic entourage for help; why don’t we 'help' his practitioners now by creating more and more awareness? By knowledge and in time, opposition to Dorje Shugden will relent and his practice will become mainstream and acceptable. Let’s make that a reality by creating more practitioners now. That would be so beneficial to them and to Manjunatha Tsongkhapa’s holy, infallible lineage.
