Dorje Shugden is closely connected with China in many ways. In Dorje Shugden’s kangso or fulfilment ritual by His Holiness Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche, it is stated that Dorje Shugden resides in Wu Tai Shan (Five-Peak Mountain) of China. Wu Tai Shan is also the abode of Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom, of whom Dorje Shugden is an emanation of.
Emperor Kangxi of China
According to the Mongolian scholar Losang Tamdin, Dorje Shugden also reincarnated as the Qing Emperor Kangxi, yet another link between Dorje Shugden and China. Emperor Kangxi contributed tremendously towards restoring peace and harmony, and championed the spreading of the Buddhadharma in China amongst other achievements. The Tibetans have a folk belief that China is ruled by the emanations of Manjushri. Thus, China has a close affinity with Manjushri and therefore, Dorje Shugden as well.
The Kangxi Emperor is also an ancestor of the Emperor Dhakong, who enthroned Dorje Shugden as a Dharma Protector in the 19th Century. One of the verses in Dorje Shugden’s kangso states:
Enthroned as guardian of the Yellow Hat Teachings
By the Chinese emperor, the Dalai Lama, and his regent,
You generated the intent to protect the Teachings from now
Until the Buddha, Aspiring One, praise to you!
The enthronement mentioned above refers to a very significant moment in history during which His Holiness the 11th Dalai Lama Kedrup Gyatso along with his then regent officially recognised and enthroned Dorje Shugden as the Dharma Protector who safeguards the teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa and by extension, the Gelugpa lineage. This is what is meant by “guardian of the Yellow Hat Teachings“.
Lastly, the following account reinforces a well-known historical fact about Dorje Shugden oracles, which is that they are highly accurate and beneficial. There is not a single account of an oracular pronouncement from Dorje Shugden being inaccurate. The below is based on a scriptural document detailing the imperial recommendation by the Chinese Emperor Dhakong, together with His Holiness the 11th Dalai Lama and his regent.
During the time of the 11th Dalai Lama Kedrup Gyatso and the regent Reting Hotogtu Ngawang Yeshe Tsultrim Gyaltsen, the Great Dharma King Nechung and the Lhasa Trokang Gyalchen Shugden were both swift to perform activities and both were very renowned in giving accurate prophesies.
H.H. the 11th Dalai Lama
At that juncture, an Amban, an official from the Chinese Qing dynasty, by the name of Che Trungtang was present in Lhasa. The Amban burnt a set of questions in Chinese in front of Trode Khangsar, and asked for clear answers from Dorje Shugden during a trance scheduled for the next day. These were questions posed by the Qing Emperor Dakhong relating to certain political decisions that needed to be made.
When the Trode Khangsar oracle took trance the next day, Dorje Shugden gave clear advice to the questions burned by the Amban. When the answers were brought back to Emperor Dakhong, he was amazed at the precision and clarity of the advice given. The Emperor sent offerings of a pandit’s hat for both Dorje Shugden and Nechung, and recognised Dorje Shugden as a powerful Dharma Protector, not only for the Gelug lineage but the entire Buddhadharma.
Once the offerings were received in Tibet, the Regent, secretaries and various other dignitaries traveled to Nechung for a ceremonial offering of the new pandit’s hat. After this, they traveled to the Trode Khangsar Chapel in Lhasa. It was there in the large stone courtyard that His Holiness the 11th Dalai Lama, the Chinese Amban, the Regent, the Dorje Shugden oracle and various monks held a grand ceremony, after which the pandit’s hat was placed over its doors.
The Chinese Emperor Dhakong
Together, the Chinese Emperor Dhakong and the Dalai Lama, patron and lama together, all praised and enthroned Gyalchen Dorje Shugden as the principal Protector of the Yellow Hat Teachings as praised in the verse above.
I have seen with my own eyes a record of this and the previously related story in which the minister Bumtangpa was saved from execution, in the notations of the office of the Kashag of the Tibetan government, in the guest book diary for the respective dates where the essence of what occurred in each instance was described.

Posted on May 28, 2016 #1 AuthorThis article is an important history point that how credible and reliable Dorje Shugden is to help people who are in need, even the King of China seek help for important issues.
Dorje Shugden’s enlighten qualities have been shown since many centuries ago. The relationship among Dorje Shugden, Dalai Lama and China seems interdependent since then. May these relationship continues to benefit more people by Dalai Lama lifting the ban on Dorje Shugden now.

Posted on June 5, 2016 #3 Author从这篇文章中，让我看到了一个很棒的事实，原来中国和多杰雄登护法的关係竟然是如此的密切；我们一直以为多杰雄登护法的影响力只重于西藏、尼泊尔等等国家，孰不知祂与中国的渊缘极深。中国的五台山是文殊菩萨的发源地，单是这样的一个证例经已足以叫人拍桉叫绝。世上凑巧的事情很多，但如此同出一辙的巧合，应该不会太多。
我很感激且感恩可以看到这篇文章，让我对中国与多杰雄登护法的关係更多了一层了解。从中也将我对雄登护法刻板严肃的印象，大大改观；因此开拓了另一个角度使我们看到护法为了利益众生，不惜做出各样的改变去配合当下的需要，以便能够真正发挥到来世上的使命。
在文中有提到，第十一世达赖喇嘛还给予多杰雄登护法最有力的认可，可是为什麽到了第十四世达赖喇嘛的到来，却推翻了前几世达赖喇嘛的认同呢？
中国，这个国家和多杰雄登，这个护法；与我个人有着很亲近的关係，这种似乎是一种与生俱来的宿缘，听起来虽然很自恋，可是就是这麽的凑巧！历史的记载是不可否定的，因为每项记录都拥有强而有力的证据，如果我们还是接受不到，那恐怕也挺难接受更多的善知识了。
世上在你我难以预料的事情有太多了，我们不可能每件事情都依个人的想法、科学的推理、临床经验而依据，因为除了地球之外，外太空实在太大了！

Posted on June 5, 2016 #4 Author多杰雄登湖中国有很深的缘， His Holiness Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche在多杰雄登的酬供里声称多杰雄登居住在五台山。五台山是文殊菩萨也是智慧普萨的居处，多杰雄登是文殊菩萨的化身。
根据蒙古学者Losang Tamdin康熙皇帝是多杰雄登护法的转世。康熙皇帝提倡和平，和谐，康熙皇帝做出了巨大贡献，对恢复和平与和谐，并支持在中国的佛法教诲与其他成就。中国是伟大的佛教圣地之一，康熙还负责建立、保存和恢复在中国、西藏和蒙古的许多重要佛教寺庙和圣地，其中许多都存在到今天为止。
康熙是道光的先帝，道光皇帝在19世纪册封多杰雄登为护法，册封多杰雄登为护法在佛教历史上是重要的一刻。第十一世达赖喇嘛也确认多杰雄登为保护宗喀巴教悔，也是格鲁派传承。
在皇帝的历史记载，多杰雄登和乃穷所给的预言都非常准确，清朝官员所带来提问多杰雄登护法的问题，多杰雄登护法都给予很明确，也很正确。道光皇帝很佩服，也很惊讶答案的准确性，随而道光皇帝个别赠送了多杰雄登和乃穷一顶Pandit Hat，也确认多杰雄登是一位强大的护法。这一个确认不只是格鲁派而是整个佛教的护法。
由此可见，只要是对多杰雄登护法有强大的信念，必然的会给予协助。皆因多杰雄登是文殊普萨的化身。

Posted on June 9, 2016 #5 Author在还没读这篇文章之前，我一直都以为多杰雄登护法修持者只是在西藏，尼泊尔，和某些西方国家。读了这篇文章后，让我可以更加了解到有关于多杰雄登早在清朝时期已经被供奉了，原来护法和中国有如此的渊源。
高僧大德帕繃喀仁波切在多杰雄登的酬供文所写到多杰雄登居住在五台山，这也是文殊菩萨所居住的地方。多杰雄登被誉为是文殊菩萨的化身是可以理解的因为祂们都有相似的特征，其一是居住于在同一的地方。
根据蒙古学者，康熙皇帝是多杰雄登的传世，康熙皇帝那时候把佛教带进了清朝时代，让佛教弘扬起来。并且在康熙皇帝大力推广佛教教诲，为当时的朝代带来和平与和谐。
让人振奋的是在19世纪，当时驻藏大臣Che Trungtang，他把写下一些有关清朝政治决策问题的纸烧了。第二天在护法降神时， 护法可以清楚地一一给予忠告。当道光知道之后，感到非常难以置信。皇帝为多杰雄登和乃穹供奉了班智帽，并且册封多杰雄登是一位法力超强的护法，祂不但被誉为是格鲁派的护法，甚至是整个佛法的护法。在多杰雄登的酬供里也是清楚说明了祂是一位发愿维护宗喀巴大师教诲和格鲁派传承的护法。还有一点是，历史上有记载多杰雄登神谕所给予的忠告都是非常精准和利益他人。从这种种有利的历史记载，说明了多杰雄登是一位守护佛法的护法而不是所谓的邪魔。还有，我们有什么资格评论这些有利的真相呢？
还有一个重要的一点是，当时第十一世达赖喇嘛不是给予认证多杰雄登是一位维护宗喀巴大师教诲和格鲁派传承的护法吗？为什么要到了第十四世的时候才来推翻之前所认证的事？真是让人匪夷所思。
从这文章让我了解到多杰雄登护法不但是可以帮助我们解除个人的问题，祂甚至为社会和国家带来和平与和谐。

Posted on June 6, 2016 #6 AuthorAccording to the Mongolian scholar Losang Tamdin Dorje Shugden also reincarnation as the Qing Emperor Kangxi.
Historical fact is that Emperor Kangxi is the ancestor of Emperor Dhakong who enthroned Dorje Shugden as the Dharma Protector in the 19th Century.
When Dorje Shugden took trance the Emperor Dhakong is very amazed at the precision and clarity of the advice given. HE is recognised as a powerful Dharma Protector not only fir the Gelugame lineage but also the entire Buddhadharma.

Posted on June 9, 2016 #7 AuthorThis is an article that everyone should read. This article has shared with us the close relationship of China with Dorje Shugden.
Wu tai Shan, is Budhist sacred pilmirage place in China. Because Dorje Shugden is the emanation of Manjushri, he also reside at the same place where Manjushri is, ie. Wu Tai shan.
According to Losang Tamdin, Emperor Kangxi, one of the China’s greatest emperor, is the emanation of Dorje Shugden. Emperor Kangxi was an emperor that ruled China with wisdom and compassion. Some of his great achievement which included:
1. a new and unified China was created,
2. a restructured tax system to eliminate the finanicial burden of the poor peasants
3. skillfully commissioned the Kangxi Dictionary in an attempt to gain support from the many Han-Chinese scholar-bureaucrats who had refused to serve a Manchu emperor.
4. Emperor Kangxi supported Tibetan Buddhism and he even convert his palace into Tibetan Monastery called Yong He Gong.
Not only the Dalai Lama, Emperor of China also seek Dorje Shugden’s advice on political issues. Due to the accuracy of Dorje Shugden prophesies, Dorje Shugden was enthroned as Dharma Protector in 19th Century by Emperor Dhakong.
From the article, we can understand that Dorje Shugden has played an important role in the history of China and has benefited many people. May more people be connected to Dorje Shugden and the practice can flourish in China.

Posted on June 15, 2016 #8 Author原來多傑雄登與中國有著如此密切的關聯。遠追溯到康熙時期（多傑雄登的轉世之一），祂已為中國奠下了不少豐功偉績以及致力於佛法的弘揚。到了後幾世的道光皇帝，認證多傑雄登為護法，這個舉證也再一足以反駁多傑雄登並非反雄登者口中所說的“邪靈、惡魔”等。

Posted on June 15, 2016 #9 Author感谢你的分享
是如此地感到十分的感动与随喜，伟大的多杰雄登护法，除了西藏或尼泊尔地区外，如今又被证明了与中国这个美丽的国家与伟大的康熙皇帝有着非常深厚的渊缘与莫不可分的关系。
同时在尊贵的帕绷喀仁波切的满愿酬供仪轨上也提到，多杰雄登护法在中国的居住地是与文殊菩萨一样的，那就是出名的五台山，这并不难理解，多杰雄登护法本来就是文殊菩萨的化身，所以理应就是居住在五台山里，同时中国道光皇帝更是任命多杰雄登护法为保护格鲁法教传承的护法神，并且礼赞多杰雄登护法。
这一再在的证明着多杰雄登护法是证悟的护法，祈愿多杰雄登护法能够继续保护伟大的格鲁派法教在中国蓬勃发展，并利益与帮助一切有情众生
谢谢

Posted on June 15, 2016 #10 AuthorEmperor Kang Xi is one of the greatest emperors because his reign was long, under his rule the Qing Empire started to prosper, dynastic succession was stabilized, and he was benevolent. Emperor Kang Xi was also famous to promote Buddhism in China and within his subject including building & preserving monasteries. I am not surprise that both Emperor Kang Xi and Dorje Shugden are closely related as they share similar qualities as of the above. And now we know that Emperor Kang Xi is the emanation of Dorje Shugden.

Posted on June 15, 2016 #11 Author令人感到震撼的文章！！ 原来早在清朝康熙时代多杰雄登已经非常普遍。
康熙皇帝在位期间一直大力弘扬佛法， 也把藏传佛教， 特别是宗喀巴大师的法教立为官方宗教。 到现在雍和宫还供奉着很大尊的宗喀巴大师像。 多杰雄登也同样被康熙皇帝封为黄帽法教护法， 可见多杰雄登的利益是多么的广大。
我们到现在还可以认识和修持多杰雄登法门是如此的幸福。
也谢谢dorjeshugden.org 把更多关于多杰雄登的资料带给大家。
谢谢

Posted on June 15, 2016 #12 AuthorChinese emperor would not recognise or enthrone just anyone, he would examine this person or deity very carefully to ensure it was authentic and would not cause harm to the country or the people. I particularly like the story about how Dorje Shugden knew the questions (in Chinese) of the Amban even though they were burnt before showing Dorje Shugden. And the amazing part was, Dorje Shugden knew what were the questions and answered them accurately. The Chinese emperor was totally convinced of Dorje Shugden’s power from this incident.
Thus, we should rely on Dorje Shugden and have strong faith in him because he is able to guide us to the right path due to his clairvoyance.

Posted on June 15, 2016 #13 Author这再次证明多杰雄登跟中国的关系有多么密切。从文殊菩萨的住处五台山，至康熙皇帝致力推广佛教及宣扬和平，再到道光皇帝认证多杰雄登为佛教的证悟护法。历史上清朝在位最久的康熙皇帝还是多杰雄登其中一个转世。可想象多杰雄登这位证悟护法化身政治人物管理一个国家，当时人民的福德多大呀？
中国历代皇帝既然能封多杰雄登为佛教护法，就证明了它不是谣言所说的邪灵，如果是邪灵，它怎么能一直转世回来？甚至还能成皇帝？
William Chua
Posted on June 15, 2016 #14 AuthorDorje Shugden has been recognised by the Chinese Emperors and the government centuries ago. Hence, it is no surprise that the Chinese government now is supporting the growth of Buddhism in China especially the Dorje Shugden monasteries because the Emperor Dhakong and the Dalai Lama enthroned as the principal protector of the Gelugpas. Furthermore, Emperor Kang Xi is recognised as the reincarnation of Dorje Shugden. The connection is strong since the beginning.

Posted on June 20, 2016 #15 AuthorIt is clear that the mindstream of Dorje Shugden is one with Manjushri, and countless of evidence, writings, articles, texts, prayers, praises from a variety of people from the Dalai Lamas, to High Lamas of the Tibetan Buddhist sect, to the lamas of the Sakya school, to the Chinese Emperors has again and again proven this to us.
For a Chinese Emperor to enthrone Dorje Shugden, much research, investigating, studying, witnessing, would have been done by his officials and party. In the praise to Dorje Shugden it is written that Dorje Shugden is the “guardian of the Yellow Hat Teachings” and Dorje Shugden “generated the intent to protect the Teachings from now until the Buddha, Aspiring One,”. This clearly shows the motivation as to why Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen arose as enlightened Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden after a promise in his previous life as Duldzin, and it clearly shows that Dorje Shugden is an integral Dharma Protector within the Yellow Hat school of teachings, ie. Gelug.
Dalai Lama, China, and Dorje Shugden, has had a long history together, in which each has played a vital role to propagate the teachings of Buddha to the many who need and are ready for it. In many parts of China, the practice of Dorje Shugden is continually growing, and it is not long before many more will cross paths with Dorje Shugden, who is one with wisdom Buddha Manjushri, and be blessed to grow in their spiritual journey towards enlightenment.

Posted on July 14, 2016 #16 AuthorI have always thought that Dorje Shugden (and Dharma Protectors in general) are only pervasive in Tibet, and not so “popular” in Mahayana tradition. I guess I am wrong after reading this article. It means few hundred years ago, China, led by her Emperor, has already started relying on Dorje Shugden.
Another thing which I find it fascinating is Dorje Shugden reincarnates as Kang Xi, who is one of the best emperors in the recent history of China.

Posted on September 16, 2016 #17 AuthorHow wonderful to read that the Qing Emperor Kangxi is an incarnation of Dorje Shugden and both share the same mindstream as Lord Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom. No wonder China had prosper and generally was peaceful with strong propitiation of Buddhism during his reign. He had contributed towards the building of Trode Khangsar Chapel which the Great 5th Dalai Lama built as homage to Protector Dorje Shugden.
Then during the 19th century, the Qing Emperor Dhakong reaffirms and enthroned Dorje Shugden together with the 11th Dalai Lama Kedrup Gyatso, the regent Reting Hotogtu Ngawang Yeshe Tsultrim Gyaltsen, the Chinese Amban, the Dorje Shugden Oracle and various in a grand ceremony. The offering from Emperor Dhakong, a pandit’s hat, was placed over the doors of Trode Khangsar Chapel, in recognition of Dorje Shugden as a powerful Dharma Protector, not only for the Gelug lineage but the entire Buddhadharma.
Dorje Shugden’s prophecies and answers had be proven true time and again as he is a fully enlightened Protector with clairvoyance and wisdom. It would be interesting to read more of Dorje Shugden’s amazing prophecies and answers, which included asking the 14th Dalai Lama to leave Tibet immediately with specific instructions and directions to follow on route to India. The very next day, Tibet was invaded and if the Dalai Lama had not left, he would have been captured. Following Dorje Shugden’s advice, the 14th Dalai Lama reach India safely although the journey had been treacherous. It was told that Protector Dorje Shugden had hidden the travellers behind thick fog to prevent the invading armies from seeing them. Protector Dorje Shugden can be fully trusted and propitiated to help you on the path to gaining attainments.

Posted on October 9, 2016 #18 AuthorEven the 11th Dalai Lama was at the ceremony where the pandit’s hat was presented the pandit’s hat to Dorje Shugden and placed it over the door of Trode Khangsar chapel in Lhasa after a grand ceremony was held. How this came about is so very interesting – how the Amban found his questions answered though they were burnt the day before the trance took place!
Miracles can happen and this showed that Dorje Shugden is indeed the Guardian of the Yellow Hat teachings.
Justin Cheah
Posted on November 11, 2016 #19 AuthorEmperor Kang Xi is one of the greatest emperors in China and was detrimental in promoting Buddhism. Under Emperor’s rule, which span to many years and those years were one of the most prosperous times in Qing Dynasty. Emperor Kang Xi also build many monasteries and is a firm believer of Tibetan Buddhism. His action is similar to be of a Lama spreading Buddhism and no wonder, he is actually the emanation of Dorje Shugden.

Posted on December 29, 2017 #20 AuthorThe credibility of Dorje Shugden is undeniable. Historically stated that the Chinese Emperor Dhakong seeks adviced from Dorje Shugden and he was fascinated by how accurate and detailed advice given regarding political matter. The Emperor Dhakong was impressed and sent offerings of a pandit’s hat for both Nechung and Dorje Shugden. In that period of time, both Nechung and Dorje Shugden were swift and well known for accurate prophesies.
Upon received the offerings from the Chinese Emperor Dhakong in Tibet, the Regent, the secretaries and noble people went to Trode Khangsar Chapel in Lhasa. A grand ceremony was held in the large stone courtyard, participated by H.H the 11st Dalai Lama, the Chinese Amban, the Regent, various monks together with the Dorje Shugden oracle. After that the pandit’s hat was placed over its door.
The Chinese Emperor Dhakong and the 11st Dalai Lama, both had praised and enthroned Dorje Shugden as the principal Protector of the Yellow Hat Teachings. The Emperor Dhakong further recognized Dorje Shugden as a powerful Dharma protector of the entire Buddhadharma. The relationship among Dorje Shugden, the H.H the 11st Dalai Lama and China were mutual dependable in harmony.

Posted on January 17, 2018 #21 AuthorIt’s very interesting to know Dorje Shugden has reincarnated as the Qing Emperor Kangxi who has contributed tremendously towards restoring peace and harmony, and championed the spreading of the Buddhadharma in China.
The close relationship between Dorje Shugden and China was very significant when Emperor Dhakong together with the Dalai Lama praised and enthroned Dorje Shugden as the principal Protector of the Yellow Hat Teachings.
