Dorje Shugden
(Redirected from Shuk-Den)
Dorje Shugden is a Dharma Protector regarded as an emanation of the Wisdom Buddha, Manjushri. He is the reincarnation of a famous Tibetan practitioner of the Gelugpa school, called Ngatrul Dragpa Gyaltsen, a contemporary of the Fifth Dalai Lama. The practice of relying upon Dorje Shugden is a very important part of the spiritual practice of some Gelugpa and Sakya practitioners, as well as for modern day Kadampa practitioners.
