I have spent my entire life seeking a religion or practice to help me better my life condition
and solve my problems. I have sought the answers in several religions but only became more
frustrated because of lack of real tangible help and proof that my prayers were being heard.
Christianity, Occultism, Hinduism. I practiced Nichiren Buddhism but was dissatisfied with the way they conducted themselves. I was just recently exploring taoism to seek that peace that we need in life. I found their attitudes very duplistic and I found little peace with them. I was feeling desperate and asked, “what next”? Then somehow I came across the name Dorje Shugden on the net. I read a short description of his powers and purpose. I also read some testimonials and I felt a wave of hope.. How do I begin? I’m not concerned about the Dalai Lamas ban. Thank you.

I’m glad you have come across Dorje Shugden practice. It is indeed a very powerful practice that can help in all areas of our lives. You can start the practice by following this particular post: http://www.dorjeshugden.org/practice/starting-on-dorje-shugdens-practice which includes a short but effective prayer and the mantra of Dorje Shugden. If you recite this every day you will most certainly see a difference in your life for the better.
There are other things that you can do such as set up an altar. But you should follow the above prayer for some time before you set up an altar: http://www.dorjeshugden.org/practice/setting-up-a-tibetan-buddhist-altar. Altars are extremely beneficial for our lives as they provide us with a stable environment, beneficial energies and a focus for our prayers.
If you want to go deeper into the practice, there is an article here:http://www.dorjeshugden.org/practice/diamond-path-a-daily-sadhana-of-dorje-shugden. This article provides you with longer daily prayers to make a stronger connection with Dorje Shugden and get the most benefit from the practice. I hope this helps. Thank you.
