My father is a ex-monk from Tibet. My mother is Princess Dewa from Xinjiang who is a direct line from Genghis Khan. I was born in Taiwan, grew up in the States and returned to Gaden in India in 1987. Had the great honour to be ordained by HH Dalai Lama and to meet my root guru HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche. Now I reside in Malaysia as spiritual advisor to Kechara House and its thirteen departments.

Producing hundreds of Dorje Shugden framed pictures to give away. We often travel to different parts of the city and pass out frames to business, shops, individuals and share about Shugden's benefits with people. They love it. Some ask for more. Some thank us profusely to say later Shugden has helped them. This our way of sharing something good. Many people sponsors frames and printing for this to be done.

Would love to have some really authentic Tibetan food. I have ppl who can cook one or two dishes here, but nothing like the whole authentic spread. Kalmuck food too-it would be nice to have. Kalmuck (Mongol) and Tibetan food have similarities.. For the last 20 years Losar or Tsagan is something I am on my own always. There are no Tibetans or Kalmucks around for hundreds if not thousands of miles. I am always alone. As you know I am half Tibetan and half Kalmuck in heritage.Though the beautiful Chinese people where I am celebrate the Lunar New Year, it's done differently. I am not lonely or 'desperate' for Mongol or Tibetan food/culture, but it would be nice to be around it a little after so long of being on my own. Tsem Rinpoche

Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche & Kyabje Ling Rinpoche doing Lama Chöpa in Bodhgaya in the 60sIn the 1960s, H.H. Yongzin Kyabje Ling Rinpoche would always organize Lama Chöpa (Guru puja-composed by Panchen Rinpoche) with 1000 offerings in Bodhgaya and would often be joined in by H.H. Yongzin Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche, and sometimes the 16th Karmapa would even join in. Wonderful. Watch this blessed and old footage of the two Yongzins doing Lama Chöpa in Bodhgaya. Yongzin is the special title to those who were the root and close teachers of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. There were two official Yongzins. Trijang Rinpoche and Ling Rinpoche were the Yongzins of the current Dalai Lama for over 40 years living nearby to Dalai Lama and passing him all the teachings necessary. They were extremely kind and giving all necessary teachings, empowerments and oral transmissions that Dalai Lama is disseminating to the world today to millions.

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 Rinpoche10 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.com10 months ago

No reply yet - 26 February 2015 00:55ckg asked: Dear Pastors, Is scholarly knowledge of dharma bad? I have heard scholars can go to the lower realms too? Why do dharma practitioners take rebirth as spirits for instance there is a story in the LamRim of how a monk engaging in the Yamantaka retreat reincarnated as a spirit resembling Yamantaka ? Since hearing dharma or being able to reiterate our teachers doesn't prevent entry to lower realms, what does prevent poor rebirths?
pastor answered: Dear ckg, Scholarly knowledge of Dharma is not bad. On the contrary, we need to have dharma knowledge and understanding in order to have a firm foundation for our Dharma practice. We need to study the Dharma because it has many benefits. In the Lamrim, the benefits are given in the section "How to Study and Teach the Dharma" which is found in the chapter on "The Greatness of the Dharma". In this section, Pabongka Rinpoche said that study is like the lamp that dispels the darkness of ignorance. Therefore, we must study to be able to gain knowledge and wisdom. However, just hearing the Dharma and having the knowledge is not enough. One must internalise the teachings through meditation and practice. In "Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand", Pabongka Rinpoche gave an example of a yogi in the Yamantaka tantra who was reborn as a hungry ghost that resembled the deity. This story illustrates the danger of not modifying one's behaviour according to the law of cause and effect. This means that in order to avoid going to the lower realms, one must abandon the ten non-virtues and replace them with the antidotes - the virtues. Besides this, one must also purify one's negative karma with the four opponent powers. You can learn about this from the Lamrim, in the chapter on "Observing the Law of Cause and Effect". In this blog, you can also learn about the different karma paths in H.E. Tsem Rinpoche's teaching: http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/discovering-yourself-a-teaching-on-karma-mindstream.html. - 24 February 2015 01:37sandra asked: Dear Pastors, What does the word 'Jinas' mean? I have seen this in some prayers, i.e,' 'All Jinas three secrets in the autumn moon...''? Thank you.
pastor answered: Dear Sandra, "Jina" is a Sanskrit word which means "conqueror" or "victor" which are epithets used for a Buddha. The three secrets of the Buddha (Skt. triguya) are: the secret of body (whatever form is necessary to tame the living beings), the secret of speech (speech appropriate to the language of creatures (lineage) and the secret of mind (knowing all things as they really are). The expedients to attain enlightenment are mudras and asanas (body), mantras (speech) and mandalas (mind). The autumn moon is the most beautiful moon and is an image often used to refer to the youthful beauty of a Buddha, for example, Mother Tara. - 23 February 2015 01:40Dorjee asked: In mundane human society..we encounter all kinds of people..I have seen and experienced some people.no matter..how good hearted,kind,generous,helpful you are..they never seem to satisfy our giving and help,kindness etc..instead they even compete you,get jealous,more greedy..I wonder why on this earth such spoiled-brait are born to harm or hurt people..?Thank You..!
pastor answered: Dear Dorjee, Contemplate the following. It might help. “People are often unreasonable and self-centred. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway." - 22 February 2015 13:50Susan asked: Please help me someone. I have a 21 year old daughter who is so naughty that she scolds and spits at me if things are not done to her way. I have been giving in to her for 5 years now and I dont know what to do. She hates everyone in the family. Recently I had a Tara puja done for her and I even chant mantras daily but to no avail. Am I destined to be forever control by her ? Cant I change my bad karma ? Cant I have harmony in my family ? If I had not come into buddhism I would have committed suicide long ago.
pastor answered: Dear Susan, At this time in her life, your daughter needs your understanding and love. Her behaviour shows that she is suffering. You have to make an effort to communicate with her in a compassionate manner. Only love and compassion can heal anger. When you listen deeply and speak with love, then conflict and anger will not arise. Continue to attend pujas and dedicate the merits to her. You also have to stop blaming your daughter for your suffering, your "bad karma" and the disharmony in your family. You are not the victim. As Buddhists, we must understand that all our suffering is created by ourselves alone. If you wish to help your daughter, you need to overcome your own anger and resentment. Heal yourself first, then you will be able to heal her. Replace your negative energy with the energy of compassion. If you have compassion in you, what others do or say will not make you angry or irritated.

痛苦源自我们知悉自己没在有生之年做过影响任何人的事情。现在就开始行动……从这一刻开始行动，总比你浪费时间为自己感到难过或尝试博取他人毫无意义的赞美来得好。#詹杜固仁波切 http://www.tsemrinpoche.com (Cynthia Ng 23/2/15)
