Now that I know who Dorje Shugden is, I realize that I was actually first introduced to him about 20 years ago when a Buddhist teacher gave my mother a picture of Dorje Shugden. She brought the picture home, framed it and placed it on our altar. Dorje Shugden has been in my home all this time and I have been ignorant to his power and blessings!

On hindsight, our family has been fortunate in many respects over the past 20 years. In all our business affairs – no matter how challenging things became, even when we experienced losses – things would eventually even out and other business opportunities would arise to help us cover the losses and start anew.

As for health, I am grateful that although family members have gone through some surgeries and illnesses, there has never been anything too serious or life threatening. I remember very clearly a surgical procedure my mother had which the doctors said would be slightly complicated.

We did Dorje Shugden pujas before she went in for the operation and the complication expected by the doctors did not arise after all. The surgery was done easily and quickly. Even the surgeon commented that he was surprised it went so smoothly.

"In my personal experience, the practice of Dorje Shugden gives me inner emotional stability and calmness. His practice gives me clarity and perseverance.

When I learned more about Dorje Shugden and his practice, I realized how powerful it was when I could actually find answers to problems disturbing me whenever I recited his mantra. Initially, I was skeptical but when it happened more than three times, I had to believe in it." ~ Kirsten

There was a time when I was going through many emotional issues and often had trouble sleeping. I had many sleepless nights and this started to affect my loved ones as I became tired, irritable and very unpleasant to be with. One night, when I could not stop crying, I took hold of a small image of Dorje Shugden, held it close to my chest and recited his mantra. I started to feel relief and my tears started to stop.

The deep sadness I was feeling gradually stopped choking me and I calmed down. Eventually, I fell into a deep sleep which I had not done in many weeks. The next morning, I felt lighter and relieved.

Dorje Shugden has been a light source to me, giving me balance and hope.
