About Dorje Shugden

Dorje Shugden is a special Dharma Protector who quickly fulfils wishes and sincere prayers. He brings healing, harmony and peace, protects from harm and obstacles, and attracts opportunities for success and growth.

Known as a wealth Buddha, he brings sincere devotees vast merits and material resources for virtuous activities. As a wrathful emanation of Manjushri, he grants improved concentration, clarity of mind and great wisdom to anyone who propitiates him.

Dorje Shugden brandishes a sword in his right hand, cutting away our ignorance and negative states of mind which are the basis of all our suffering. In his left hand, he holds a heart jewel that symbolises the legendary wish-fulfilling jewel that can grant us whatever we desire, and our deepest innermost wish – enlightenment.

His practice is incredibly effective because of our strong affinity and karmic connection with him. He is also the special protector of the 600-year-old Gelugpa lineage founded by Lama Tsongkhapa.
