Dorje Shugden: Tsem Rinpoche’s Side of the Story

Tsem Rinpoche recently published in his blog a comprehensive sharing and explanation of Dorje Shugden. I am simply amazed by the scope in which Rinpoche spoke at length with regards to Dorje Shugden, the lineage that he had received and all its pertaining issues surrounding the ban on Dorje Shugden.

I was there in the audience and I was just amazed at how Rinpoche had so much covered in just one talk. Rinpoche spoke seamlessly and almost non-stop and without so much as a break in the flow. I can see that Dorje Shugden is at Rinpoche’s heart and that is very much an integral part of Rinpoche’s life. People say that Rinpoche is obsessed and I think that’s right but with good reason. Rinpoche is fixated on Dorje Shugden because he is very beneficial. People of certain traditions just practice Guru Rinpoche and only follow his teachings. Nobody would call them fixated or obsessed. I think there is a double standard here because of the idea was planted that Dorje Shugden is a ghost or demon. And this is against much evidence of him being a higher being.

Anyway, I thought I share the videos here for everyone’s viewing pleasure as well as my video response to it.

This is the video explanation above and the actual blog post in which you can read the transcript of this sharing in English and Chinese ~ http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/who-is-dorje-shugden-to-me.html. There’s also a video content of this teaching at the end of the blog post.
