Question asked by Tyler Amato "Konchok Samten Norbu"
Tsem Rinpoche, since I started practicing buddhism my aspiration has been to create a pure land called Tranquil Burrows for all rodents to be free from suffering in samsara, and I'm always finding deceased animals on the side of the road and the like to recite some nembutsu or lay a mantra of light strip on the remains of.
I get much joy and gratification from purifying animals karma and helping them attain higher rebirth. I have faith that the Tranquil Burrows will be taken care of by the buddhas and bodhisattvas of the 10 directions until I am able to emenate it myself, However I'm still plagued daily with sadness for my own deceased pets and despite generating merits for them with many practices for years I still grieve the unanswered questions such as how many animals have been brought to the pure lands because of my practices.
I've even come as far as getting a ouija board for which the planchette had to be custome ordered so I can bless it and try to channel my first deceased rat.
I want to know if you recommend any practices that will help me connect with my own deceased pets consciousness as spirits or pure land beings or even just simple emanated psychic ambience.
Also, if you can give any insight on the fates of animals such as rats and mice who suffer severe cruelties at the hands of humans in the bardo, I see such a dark and holocaustic picture in the world of rodents as a "mini samsara" of its own and its my ultimate aspiration to help as many as possible, whether wild or my own pets.
When it comes to spiritual core and personal dharma path I consider myself a psychopomp and my whole life I've considered myself an occultist before really settling into the spiritual path of buddhism due to personal experiences with my first rat "Sage" I believe to be a direct emanation of compassion or some other form because shes the root that turned me from suffering.
I've been also experiencing Deja Vu since adopting the Amitayus practice and being initiated into a lineage and I believe its because of the "Siddhi of Immortality" and wish I could get definitive divinations of past lives but I'm not a special person 🙁 My last name means Beloved by God , I'll wait and see if I'm Beloved by Guru












































































































Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands.
