It is due to the kindness and blessings of His Eminence the 25th Tsem Rinpoche that I have had the fortune to be blessed and healed directly by Dorje Shugden and meet my Dharma Protector in person. When you watch any videos on oracular trances of Dorje Shugden, you will see Kache Marpo patiently sit on the oracle throne and bless every single person in the audience. At times, the peaceful form of Dorje Shugden, Dulzin Drakpa Gyeltsen, will enter the oracle, and give teachings.

When I had the fortune to be one of the 700 who were present in audience to be blessed by Dorje Shugden at Kechara Forest Retreat in June 2015, we received a Dharma teaching of close to 2 hours, in which it was adviced by Dorje Shugden that doing Dharma work, and working for Kechara is good. I will always remember that advice, and I know that Dorje Shugden is of an enlightened nature, because Dorje Shugden’s talk and advice was only about how to grow the Dharma in us on our journey towards enlightenment, and to propagate the lineage of Lama Tsongkhapa.

When I was young, I was exposed to mediums but alot of the times, they only spoke of worldly matters, how to increase wealth, business, our life’s prediction, and until I met Dorje Shugden, I knew that his supreme existence was for a bigger purpose – it is only for our own benefit so that we will gain enlightenment in our journey in the Dharma.

On July 2015, I had honor to participated all preparation for the current 7th Panglung Oracle took trance in Wisdom Hall, Kechara Forest Retreat in front of our Guru H.E.The Tsem Rinpoche and over 700 participants on the spot. The trance ceremony happened like super strong power of volcanic eruptions in good way.

This historical explosive big event remained a huge impact and unforgettable memories overnight for many of us. Especially for whoever first timer came across this kind of new and fresh exposure
In traditional Tibetan Buddhism, an oracle is one of the powerful and well known of this unique spiritual culture in Tibet. Many crucial and significant decision for the Lamas, Rinpoche, Gurus, Sangha community and all the management teams will be convey through oracles by Dorje Shugden’s head minister Kache Marpo mostly.

To be train as an oracles, the candidate need to go through a lot challenges, difficulties and problems. If a qualified oracle will be called KUTEN, because he used his own body for these protector or deities communicate with us. Due to Dorje Shugden’s huge contribute towards development of Buddhism; the Dorje Shugden’s oracles are given the most respectful title—CHOJELA.

May Malaysia will have our own or in house oracles as soon as possible. May the oracle have a good and pure samaya towards his Guru. May the oracles will be benefits many other beings. May our Lama Tsongkhapa ‘s lineage will be protect and continue spread widely known.

Due to the tremendous obstacles and negative karma that many of us face, I would dare say that we are truly blessed and fortunate to have an oracle.

I have heard and personally seen how an oracle heal, give advice/teachings and answer questions. And the sacred answers/prophecies given are always correct. If not because of DS’ advice, HHDL and group would not have been able to leave Tibet safe and sound. And the important part to highlight is that DS’ clairvoyance prepared them well by forming Chushi Gangdruk army.
Kechara Forest Retreat was really really blessed and fortunate when the 7th Panglung Kuten took trance and gave us priceless blessings and advice in June 2015 (http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/dorje-shugden/700-meet-a-buddha.html)

I agree that whether one is training to be an oracle or not, we must always hold our vows, clean samaya with our Guru and do our practice well.

After this 7th Panglung Kuten, I wonder who and when will the 8th Panglung Kuten appear.

It must be difficult for one to be trained up as an oracle, a lot of works and commitments and also pain! I haven’t get the chance to witness this holy event, Chojela take trance, I wish I ve the chance to know more about this sacred event, etc., the process of becoming an oracle.

The tradition of oracles has an important role to give prophecies and advice.
Reading back from this articles how Dorje Shugden gave advice to HH the 14th Dalai Lama to escape from Tibet and show his holiness the safe direction through the 6th Palung Kuten, it is actually a very strong evident showing Dorje Shugden attainment or clairvoyant. Since when we have this great enlightened being compassionately giving us advice, we should follow through all the way in order to gain the ultimate result. I believe it work both ways.

Dorje Shugden is the same as Manjushri which is an enlightened being. Having the 7th Palung Kuten took trance in Kechara Forest Retreat in Malaysia is a great blessing and for the first time I witness Dorje Shugden did a vajra dance live to clear the obstacles of the people attended. May this tradition of consulting oracles continue to our future generation for more people to be benefited.

Reading this article, noted that the Dorje Shugden Oracle not just ordinary oracle, I said so because it mentioned that the retreat they gone through has the higher purpose that is about achieving Enlightenment. In other words, whatever they are doing is purely to benefit others. In additional this is a lifetime commitment and involve a great deal of physical pain during the initial training stages which can take up to five years. Only with the motivation to benefits others, they can take the challenges to go through all the training.

I am bless that last year I had the opportunity to see Dorje Shugden in trance by the blessing of our Guru Tsem Rinpoche. Thank you.

The process of oracle taking trance may look easy, but there are a lot of trainings and preparations to be done before the trance. I was told that there are a lot of physical suffering in the early stages of training, and when deities enter the body, it is like hot oil flowing through the veins, that’s why many oracles in training shouted & making screaming sound in their early stage of training. Also, after the trance, the physical body becomes very tired and need a few days to recover.

Therefore, when we have the fortunate to witness a trance, we must respect because the oracle is suffering his/her body for the benefits of other sentient beings.

I have met Panglung oracle a few times. He is a “simple” monk who always smiles, and yet, he is very “particular” when preparing for trance. I feel that he is very serious about every trance, and have the highest respect for Dorje Shugden.

神谕现象仍然是藏族生活方式的一个重要部份。藏人为了各种原因而依赖神谕。神谕的目的不仅是为了预言未来。他们被当作护法，有时被当作信仰治疗者。不过，他们的主要职能是保护佛法及其信徒。

要成为一位神谕，其实不简单，接受密集训练的7年，进行禅修、修法、闭关、大礼拜、净化业障及许多法会。

三昧耶戒要非常清静，依持上师，复行你的诺言，坚守岗位、守护佛法、才成为神谕

成为伟大神谕为众生默默付出，保护所有的众生都有机会接触佛法得到证悟 。

在尊贵的上师詹杜固仁波切的恩赐与加持，我们非常幸运在2015年6月21日在克切拉禅修林，我有机会接触的第7任庞隆(choje la）伟大神谕降神仪式，而且是文殊的化身多杰雄登护法。
把佛菩萨请来，为我们七百人加持。

非常感恩，我有这样的功德，有功德可以看到这个场面。还得到加持。

要接触一位证悟，要有多大的功德，福德才有这个机会。

人的一生会多少机会能接触到真正的佛菩萨，有些人一辈子都没有机会。

我们是非常幸运有上师詹杜固仁波切的加持。我们有机会接触第7任庞隆(choje la）神谕。

感恩尊贵的上师詹杜固仁波切恩赐与加持。

My second Learning from article – Complete an assignment given by Lama is a good sign of guru devotion.

Being an oracle, one to have hold their samaya, no matter what assignments, big or small given by the Lama without being selective, one to have completed the assignments diligently.

If the oracles do not perform or complete the assignments, it would be harder to become an oracle which will involve a great deal of physical pain during the initial training stages which can take up to five years.

This is similar to our Dharma practise, the assignment given by Guru or HOD, no matter small or big, we need to do what is necessary and complete it diligently without being selective. Finishing an assignment successfully is a good sign of devotion to our teacher and that we are ready for bigger assignment. The more we do, we can create merits to benefit more people and sentient beings

Wow, is really not easy. Any one can be trained to be an oracle but only those who has pure motivation, pure guru samaya and holding pure vows being able to be a successful one. Lives depended on the Oracle’s hand because Dorje Shugden and Kache Marpo will enter the oracle body to give advice. Hence not only effort, but without wisdom and merits, nothing is gonna happen.

Thank you dorjeshugden.org for this informative article on the Oracles of Dorje Shugden. Although the ultimate motivation is to achieve enlightenment, the Oracles put aside their lives to serve others by taking trance of the Protectors which taxes their body much due to the enlightened state of the Protectors. I was so fortunate to witness the trance by the Oracle at Kechara Forest Retreat middle of last year and to received precious teachings. How blessed everyone was to have two living Buddhas together, our Guru, H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche and Lord Dorje Shugden.

I agree that the current 7th Panglung Oracle is a kind and gentle monk as I had the pleasure of helping him briefly during the Wealth Vase project. He is always in a mind of calmness and the smile on his face never left his face throughout the time he was with us on the project. Such was his level of attainments that we feel the peace around him. My rare experiences of witness the Oracle in trance and working so closely with Chojela was only possible due to the compassion of my precious Guru, whom I thank from my heart. May many more have the merits to witness the Oracle in trance at KFR in the near future. May Chojela be blessed with long healthy life to continue bringing help and blessings of the Protectors to the practitioners. Thank you Chojela and Lord Dorje Shugden for coming to KFR and helping us to clear our obstacles in manifesting our Guru’s vision for KFR.

I was very sceptical with oracles and estranged from this form of practice until i came across through my taking up of Tibetan Buddhism. It did made me feel fearful and worried but it kind of made my belief into religion stronger because this shows beings in other realms does exist. The deepest imprint i had would be when Panglung Kuten taking trance in Kechara Forest Retreat. I among with many others were on real life experience witnessing Dorje Shugden and Kache Marpo taking turns to grant us audience. I will never forget that day as it meant a lot to me. I know deep inside all these imprints and strong faith were made possible solely because of the hardwork of my Guru HE Tsem Tulku Rinpoche inviting Chojela coming. It was an unforgettable experience really.

In many traditions Buddhist and non-Buddhist there is the practice of taking trance to provide prophecies and advice. In the case of the Panglung lineage of oracles, they take trance of Enlightened beings such as Dorje Shugden, Kache Marpo, Setrap etc and their prophecies are highly accurate and based on the teachings of the pure Dharma. Their motivation is always to benefit all beings and hence their prophecies will always be pure.
How fortunate we are to have the priceless presence of the 7th Panglung Kuten in Malaysia, in Kechara Forest Retreat in Bentong, Pahang , signifying the auspicious growth of the Dharma in this region. More beings will benefit from this. This is all only possible through the wisdom and kindness of HE Tsem Rinpoche who dedicates all his time to teach and spread the Dharma in order to reduce sufferings and help many !

The authentic Oracle must go thru all the training as mentioned in this article. Sadly there are many con man out there proclaim themselves as oracle. We must be wise to differentiate the fake one, protecting ourselves and family.

The authentic Oracle is very beneficiary to all, he can help us in so many level. Thru the Oracle we can communicate directly with the Buddha, and in return receives teachings and blessing from them.
