You don’t know me and I live very far away from you but we both share one special trait – we are practising Buddhists, and have an interest in helping others.

I live in a town where we are fortunate to have a diverse group of Buddhists, because we have a handful of Dharma centres who practise different traditions. For the most part, although we all follow Shakyamuni’s tradition, our paths don’t cross except on major Buddhist holidays like Saga Dawa.

I practise Dorje Shugden because he saved my mother’s life. Since she is the central figure in our home, it means Dorje Shugden also saved my family.

One year, we were suddenly informed that my mother’s negative karma from past lives was going to fruition. This news came without warning and things were so urgent because there was a very real chance she could die. When my Lama told me this news, I believed him because in the recent times, she was always falling sick (even though she was normally very healthy), and had been getting into a lot of car accidents that could not be explained.

So my Guru gave her the Dorje Shugden practice and she has been doing it ever since. The effect was quite obvious. She stopped becoming sick and lost a lot of weight which she put on because of her illnesses. Her car accidents also stopped.

"She became a lighter and happier person. And because she is so important to my family, when she became happier, everyone became happier too." ~ Clare

Dorje Shugden saved my mother’s life and I am sure he has saved many other people’s lives too.
