Shar Ganden

With 600 Tulkus, Geshes, Masters and monks keeping the lineage alive, Shar Gaden is located in Mundgod South India. It is next to Gaden Monastery and 25 minutes away from Drepung. We can access this great institute via Bombay or Bangalore. From Bombay/Bangalore you may take train or Bus which is 8-10 hours to the nearest city of Hubli. From Hubli it is one hour away by taxi.

Since His Holiness the Dalai Lama has said that all Dorje Shugden practitioners must separate from the Monasteries and the general populace of non-Dorje Shugden practitioners in all ways, this monastery was formed. All Tibetans who do not practice Dorje Shugden may not have any association with those that do was the strict decree. As a result many tulkus, geshes, senior practitioners and monks had no choice but to sadly leave their respective monasteries out of respect for His Holiness Dalai Lama's decree. They gathered and joined to have Shar Gaden Monastery. Shar Gaden Monastery was not formed to counter or oppose His Holiness the Dalai Lama in anyway, but to have the freedom to practice as they have been from the instructions of their root gurus.

H.H. Kyabje Trijang Choktrul Rinpoche's ladrang has also joined Shar Gaden leaving Gaden Shartse Monastery, where his line of incarnations have been for hundreds of years. Domo Geshe Rinpoche also has joined.

This video shows Shar Gaden Monastery today alive with practice, debates, pujas, torgyas, and teachings. They have been ostracized by the whole Tibetan community who are not allowed to have ANY ASSOCIATION WITH THEM. We need to give them our support now to keep the lineage alive for future generations. Share this video with others. Shar Gaden's existence is hope, strength, light and practice exemplified. Its continuation offers us great encouragement.

Obviously Shar Gaden Sanghas are experts in doing many types of beneficial pujas such as Tara, Medicine Buddha, Dorje Shugden's various rituals, pujas, fire offerings, mandalas, Heart Sutra, Pelden Lhamo, Namse, Kalarupa, Mahakalas, etc. Wonderful to sponsor a puja for birthday, anniversary, death, marriage, special events, or just to clear obstacles for whatever plans you may have.

Do contact, support, visit and do whatever you can for our Sangha who wishes to practice their lineage as it has been done for 350 years now. It is the least we can do to help safeguard this holy lineage which is going through obstacles at this time but will shine forth bright in the future as predicted.

The Shar Gaden monks are bravely keeping the Dorje Shugden tradition alive despite all the obstacles that they face on a daily basis. The same goes for the monks of Serpom monastery. These monks are the real heroes of today. See the latest of what they are doing - the Taktse Dubcho ritual here:

@kokoliam59 definitely. These monks show such great tenacity and faith in their practice - that even if everything is taken away from them, they will still practice and still rise up again to continue doing the practices & making them grow.

My Guru's words rings clearly in my mind that if you believe in something, show the results. What we are watching here is exactly the result of what the Lamas, monks and many kind sponsors believes in.

[zamzam24388]

The monks at Shar Garden are blessed that they can continue with their practice of Dorje Shugden and with the support of the Gaden Trisur and his whole household, it shows that what they are engaging in is not something evil.

[jayasina]

my heart reaches out to these people whom protest in silence but do things for the benefit of their cause of living - renunciation for the welfare of many.

it is very empowering to see them re-build the Gaden of their Dreams in hope to spread Dorje Shugden far and wide in the future.

my prayers are with you.

[vinayaholder]

My respect for these monks grows everytime i watch this video. They do not complain about the hardship and ridicule they face. Yet it is not easy for them to keep the monastery going. Please send them your prayers, pujas and offerings when you can. They need all the help they can get while they hold purely the lineage of Dorje Shugden for the future generation.
