Dalai Lama says Setrap and Four Faced Mahakala have a close relationship with Dorje Shugden

[BACKGROUND] His Holiness the Dalai Lama is referring to an incident that took place before the lamas left Tibet. Minyak Khangtsen (an administrative house) of Drepung Monastery had requested the Dharma Protector Setrap to tell them if they should remain in Tibet or leave. [TRANSLATION of the Dalai Lama speaking] “Is it Drepung Minyak Khangsten?” [asking someone] They did a dough ball divination (sendak) about whether they should remain or leave Tibet. Wow they totally trust Setrap [sarcastic; laughter]. The result was they should remain. Setrap released the bridge. [The Dalai Lama is referring to a proverb here. In this case, it refers to rope bridges which are tied on either end to secure them. Here the Dalai Lama is saying that Setrap untied the bridge and released it i.e. he made a big mistake] At Sangphuling, Drayab Rinpoche also requested Setrap for one more dough ball divination, and the result came out that he should remain. Drayab Rinpoche thought to himself that the Dalai Lama and yongdzin nam nyi (Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche and Kyabje Ling Rinpoche) have already left, so there is no point to listen to Setrap. So Drayab Rinpoche also left. That wasn’t the first time Setrap was intensely embarrassed (shamdrey). During the 5th Dalai Lama’s time, Setrap also made big mistakes at the time. So it’s like this. In relations to Dorje Shugden, there’s some responsibility from Setrap’s side. When Dorje Shugden first became a protector, it was Setrap who first took him in. And then Four-Faced Mahakala also received Dorje Shugden as a protector and accepted him. Anyway, it’s not very important but there was once I had a dream about a huge statue of Four-Faced Mahakala and he was talking to me about Dorje Shugden. Then I said to him that I practise Palden Lhamo only. I had a fight with Mahakala and I was wrestling with him and I won [laughter]. I was wresting with this large statue of Mahakala and I won, and one of his arms broke. So it is something like that. For more information, please go to http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/?p=159823
