This popular image of Dorje Shugden bears a remarkable resemblance to our lineage Lama, Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche. It was this great Lama who received Dorje Shugden practice directly from Mahasiddha Tagpu Pemavajra, who had, in turn, received the lineage directly from Lord Duldzin Drakpa Gyeltsen.

Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche foresaw that this Protector would be efficacious for our times and so dedicated much of his lifetime to spreading the practice far and wide.
