Dorje Shugden followers in the millions will not abandon their practice. So it would be good if leaders of the Dorje Shugden practicing community met with the Tibetan leadership to work out something that will be a win-win situation for both sides. His Holiness Dalai Lama wants to meet the Chinese current leaders to resolve the Tibet issue. Why not meet the Shugden followers to resolve this issue too?

Uncle Lai for years now without a miss comes in once a week to clean the altar of the ladrang. To clean the sacred spots where holy images reside is considered good purification of karmas. He never misses this and then upon completion he makes nice fresh offerings. Uncle Lai is generally a very kind and reliable person. We all love him. Tsem Rinpoche

Kyabje Dagom Rinpoche said to me a few years back that in order to practice or teach dharma these days, it's like being a white crow among the black. That means we will stand out and look unusual. But no matter what we must persevere. I miss this great teacher so much since his passing. He was gentle, scholarly, erudite, accomplished in sutra and tantra and had a very loving demeanor. He treated everyone equally and his vows of a monk were spotless. He was like a bright sun in the night sky. Even the first time I met him, he impacted me very strongly. I have received many teachings from him. He was a student of H.H. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche and H. H. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche. I brought 60 students with me from various countries to have audience with Kyabje Dagom Rinpoche the last time I had a chance to gaze upon his golden face. His perfect incarnation has returned. May he manifest in this incarnation as the previous. Tsem Rinpoche

-I just purchased an empty locket from an art store for around $10 and had a nice picture of His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche inserted in the front and His Holiness Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche inserted on the others side at home. Attached a str...ing and it's good to wear for blessings. Look how beautiful. I am the type, I devote myself to my practice but I remember it is the sole kindness of the guru's teachings. Without the guru there is no dharma at all as I cannot speak to Buddha directly. Tsem Rinpoche4 months ago

The Girl Who Couldn't Cry - Water is LifeIt's really hard to educate a generation of people born in conditions where they take things for granted. A simple slogan campaign that says, "Save water, It's precious" isn't sticky enough to make inroads. That's exactly where this video steps in: to make people realize how precious water actually is. A brilliant video that follows the heartbreaking story of a young girl that cannot cry. Sounds like fiction? Sadly, it is not.9 months ago
-Dear everyone, All sentient beings deserve to live, be happy and not hurt, including animals. We should never hurt them or eat them. Look how much this chicken welcomes a hug and love. Observe carefully. Don't eat beings who can feel pain because the karma comes back. Tsem Rinpoche9 months ago
The appreciation shown here is so deep and touching.Dear friends, See this incredible video. This chimp was found in captivity for many years. Dr Jane Goodall released him into the wild. Look how he comes back to thank her with deep apprecition. It's amazing. Animals have such strong feelings of pain and happiness just like us. We should never hurt them and share with others to not hurt them. Tsem Rinpoche http://www.tsemrinpoche.com9 months ago

- 31 January 2015 17:30sds asked: asd
No reply yet - 30 January 2015 20:28bry asked: Dear pastors, I have a lot of Buddha statues at home as well as feng shui objects. I always put mantras inside my statues for i believe that these will empower the aura of the statues. However, i read that it will become more powerful if i will consecrate the mantras written on yellow rolled paper. How can I consecrate my mantra rolls and statues? Are there ways for me to do it? there are not that much Buddhist temple in my place. Can I do it on my own? Thank you so much pastor.
No reply yet - 28 January 2015 20:08Jane asked: Hello dear Pastors, I do not know, if this has happened to someone before: I became very interested in Buddhism about 2 years ago and studied this religion into the detail. Somehow, last summer, I had some sort of "flashback", I was under the impression that I would remember just rough pieces of my previous life and found parallels to this recent life. Half a year later in winter I was hiking in the mountains, and when I walked through the deep snow I had another "vision" that I will be living in an area where there is snow all year around, and I felt really strange getting a brief look into my previous life. Is this normal? Or am I just confronting myself with the fact that all of us are reborn and will get reborn again, as karma is passed on from life to life? It felt so real, but it also was kind of positive, since it made me feel that I am understanding the rebirth. Thank you very much! All the best to you Jane
No reply yet - 27 January 2015 07:58Jason asked: Dear Pastors, What is the issue with Dorje Shugden? Did Pabongka Rinpoche encourages and promoted dorje shugden previously? Did lama tsongkhapa promoted dorje shugden? Why do we need so many protector practices? One protector practice should be enough right?
pastor answered: Hello Jason, Nice to see you asking another question. It means that you want to learn and understand. That is good in Buddhism because that will help your faith and in turn, you can help others later. The issue with Dorje Shugden in recent years is that certain parties have said that Dorje Shugden is a demon and that he should not be worshipped. However, Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche, Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche and Kyabje Zong Rinpoche all said that Dorje Shugden is an emanation of Manjushri and a very powerful protector that is most suitable for our time. Dorje Shugden arose as a protector during the time of the Fifth Dalai Lama and prior to that, he had been reincarnating as very High Lamas who were Gurus to the Dalai Lama and was also a direct disciple of Lama Tsongkhapa by the name of Dulzin Drakpa Gyeltsen. You can google and read about it. We actually don't need to practice many protectors, we just need one. Just because we talk about Dorje Shugden doesn't mean you should... but Dorje Shugden belongs to Tsem Rinpoche's lineage and he is considered the fastest and most potent Dharma Protector of our time. You can practice him if you don't have prior commitment to practice any other protectors. - 25 January 2015 11:15Teng asked: Dear pastors, I sticked some mantras on to my ceiling fan previously so it can act some sort like turning prayer wheel. But then I found out prayer wheel should not be turned anticlockwise, and my fan is turning anticlockwise. Is there any negative karma through this? My mind did became a bit neurotic for that period. Bad thoughts, aggression thoughts pop up suddenly, and I was very busy doing confession and reciting 35 confession buddhas names all the times. Another question, should we confess immediately for every neurotic aggressive bad thoughts that pop up suddenly in our minds, or should we just let it pass. It does take up a lot of time to confess and recite, and affected our work quality at office hours.
pastor answered: Dear Teng, You should remove the mantras from the ceiling fan. Do not worry about the negative karma as there was no bad intention. When bad thoughts arise, note them and let them pass. Practise mindfulness and avoid non-virtuous actions of body, speech and mind. Meditate regularly to overcome your afflictive emotions. To purify negative karma, you can do the practice of the 35 Confessional Buddhas or the Vajrasattva purification practice with the 4 opponent powers once a day. Do not take purification practices lightly. We take the trouble to do these practices because we believe in karma.
