I’m from Buenos Aires, Argentina: There’s only one Kadampa Buddhist Center here, but I do not like Western masters: I look for a line like Lama Ganfgchen or Pabongka or Trijang, or the Gaden Shartse Monastery: I’m alone, and I want to know if it is possible to do a practice in my room, some ritual to open my ways: I would like some expert lama to come to my city, I read that you practice them to invoke Dorje Shugden are very long, and complicated: download the Nkangso and another ritual that you offer on this site, but I do not understand anything, and for that reason I want some advice: at the Kadampa Center in my city they always ask for money and that makes me uncomfortable. Thank you very much, greetings and I hope that soon a teacher like Lama Gangchen will come who I personally knew in 2004.

May 4, 2018 #1 AuthorDear gurumart,
Thank you for your question. I hope that your prayers are answered soon, and you are able to learn the Dharma as you so wish. Since, you know Lama Gangchen, who is a very qualified and authentic teacher, perhaps you should get into contact with his centre and ask for my guidance. You seem to have a connection with Lama Gangchen, so you should nurture this connection because it is a very good one.
In regards to which practice you can do, the joint practice of Lama Tsongkhapa and Dorje Shugden is extremely beneficial. We have a short practice available here: http://www.dorjeshugden.org/practice/diamond-path-a-daily-sadhana-of-dorje-shugden It is a lot shorter than the full Kangso text to Dorje Shugden, and can be done on a daily basis. This will be very good for you. There is a video here that explains how to engage in practice to make it easier for you: http://www.dorjeshugden.org/media/how-to-begin-dorje-shugdens-practice
Alternatively, there is an even shorter prayer available here: http://www.dorjeshugden.org/practice/starting-on-dorje-shugdens-practice if you recite this prayer, then you can concentrate on the recitation of Dorje Shugden’s mantra.
Either of these will be extremely beneficial as a daily practice for you to engage in. I hope this helps.
Thank you
