That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer

January 26, 2023 20:28Anonymous 问: Hi, my sibling wants me to pray for them to help them get into a college. I don't usually pray for worldly things, but in this case, I feel like I need to. It's because they are suffering from mental health problems, and if they don't into that college, there's a big cahnce that their mental health will worsen. How do I go about this? My second question is interpretations of Shunyata, I heard some people believe that things don't exist at all period, and some believe that things are existent, just empty. Which is the correct interpretation? pastor 已答: Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your questions. For your sibling, you can pray to Dorje Shugden. His practice is very well-known to be effective for things like this. It is worldly as you said, but it its for the benefit of your sibling, so Dorje Shugden can and will help in such situations. In fact, I have personally have found that Dorje Shugden helps a lot in terms of getting jobs, education etc. If you don't already know about Dorje Shugden, you can find an introduction to his practice here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/beginners-introduction-to-dorje-shugden.html In addition, we would recommend that your sibling also see a mental health professional as well if they are not already. This will really help them be the best person they can be. We should not rely on only one method but both secular and spiritual methods at the same time. Dorje Shugden's practice will also help to make the secular methods more successful. If your sibling is willing, then they themselves should engage in Dorje Shugden's practice. That would be best. In regards to Shunyata, as we belong to the Gelug tradition, we have a view of known as the Two Truths, that is there is an Absolute Truth (that everything lacks inherent existence) and a Relative Truth (that things exist on the conventional level). This is a little difficult to explain fully here in such a short space. You can read the Lamrim in regards to this, but it is quite complicated. In essence, on a conventional level things exist, but on the ultimate level they don't exist, in that they do not have inherent existence. I hope this helps.

January 23, 2023 00:29Lin 问: How does one deal with fear and low self esteem, not being confident/vocal in the outside world and the troubles that ensue due to it? In the outside world people look down on you or easily talk over you if one is quiet/looks weak. It’s something that is a big part of my personality. How does Buddhism recommend getting over this inner fear? pastor 已答: Dear Lin, Thank you for your question. The issue of low self esteem is quite complicated, not due to Buddhist practice, but due to culture. Those with low self esteem are generally looked down upon within society and it's said that it is not a good thing. In Buddhism however, nothing is inherently good or bad. These are concepts made by us humans, and we live in such concepts. Rather, as His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche said, we shouldn't focus on what we think is good or bad, but instead focus on what is beneficial and not-beneficial for ourselves and others. So I try to answer your question from this standpoint. So low self esteem, it is beneficial or not. The answer is, it is not. Either for ourselves or others. Then we need to look at what causes low self esteem, and that is fear. But where does that fear come from? It comes from the sense of the ego. It is the need to protect ourselves, whether rationally or irrationally (due to past experiences) that leads us to have this fear, which creates low self esteem. So the key is to deal first with the fear and then deal with the negative aspects of the ego. There are deep contemplation meditations you can do to overcome your fears and at the same time other meditations you can do that help overcome your ego, for example, gratitude meditation, accepting our circumstances, and developing real compassion and Bodhicitta. These can all be found in our book called Insightful Meditation: 18 Ways to Tame Your Monkey Mind, available here: https://www.vajrasecrets.com/insightful-meditation I hope this helps you.

January 22, 2023 01:20Jie rui 问: People have Tsongkhapa statues and do Tsongkhapa’s Guru yoga, but visualise/see Tsongkhapa as one with their Guru. Can I do the opposite? Can I have an image of my Guru and see it as one with Tsongkhapa while doing Gaden Lhagyama? pastor 已答: Dear Jie Rui, The images on your altar of the Buddhas do not necessarily have to be the Buddhas that you practice, although this helps. So when people engage in Lama Tsongkhapa's Guru Yoga, some people may prefer to have Lama Tsongkhapa's image on their altar. This itself is very good as there are many benefits to have a Lama Tsongkhapa image. And in terms of practice this can help you with your visualisation too, because you have something to refer to directly in front of you. That being said, you can have an image of your Guru on the altar, and not have Lama Tsongkhapa's image on your altar also. It's up to you. When engaging in any Buddha practise, we need to follow the visualisation according to the practice. Hence when doing Lama Tsongkhapa's Guru Yoga, we visualise Lama Tsongkhapa and think that Lama Tsongkhapa and our Guru are one. We do not visualise our Guru and think he is one with Lama Tsongkhapa. There are many reasons for this, for example, you are invoking upon Lama Tsongkhapa's energies, the form your visualise of Lama Tsongkhapa also have an effect to the benefits gained from the practice, etc. Some Gurus do have their own Guru Yoga that you can practice, for example Tsem Rinpoche's Guru Yoga here: https://www.tsemtulku.com/guru-yoga-practice/ In such practices the Guru is visualised accordingly. Each practice should be undertaken as taught in terms of what we visualise, and what we should think to make that particular practice effective. I hope this helps. Thanks.

January 21, 2023 08:32M 问: Hello Pastor Pastor David Lai on a podcast from the Kechara site stated TWICE that Tsem Tulku allowed some of his students to practice Dorje Shugden as a "YIDAM". He stated this in his Youtube video of August 10, 2021 titled, "Once Upon A Time With Rinpoche - Rinpoche's Personal Yidam Pt 6". At roughly the 3:30 minute mark Pastor Lai stated the Tsem Tulku gave out the YIDAM practice of Dorje Sugden. He repeats this again at the 11 minute mark. Here is the link to Pastor Lai's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSw_LcHw4S0&t=715s Could you tell me more about the YIDAM practice of Dorje Shugden and about the sadhana practice Tsem Tulku gave his students. I pray for the swift return of Tsem Tulku. pastor 已答: Dear M, Tsem Rinpoche assigned people yidams based on their needs and which practices would be most beneficial for them. Pastor David was referring to Rinpoche assigning Dorje Shugden for people as a yidam, meaning the deity that they should rely on the most and focus on, to be their main practice. There is no practice or text of using Dorje Shugden as a proper yidam, meaning tantric practices of self-generation, etc. When Rinpoche assigned Dorje Shugden to be their yidam, this was in reference to which deity they should focus on in their practice. The practice they follow is no different from the standard form of Dorje Shugden practice as a Dharma Protector, it is that they focus and rely on Dorje Shugden more than any other deity. There is no sadhana or practice of Dorje Shugden as an actual tantric deity, only as a Dharma Protector. As an emanation of Manjushri, Dorje Shugden's practice can be your main practice, though following the standard formula as a Dharma Protector and not a tantric deity. Thanks.

January 20, 2023 06:56Anonymous 问: Do crystals carry power? pastor 已答: Dear Anonymous, Everything in the universe has its own type of energy or vibration, including crystals. They can definitely be used to enhance certain things we want to achieve, for example for healing or for peace, etc. However they are only a very small aid in such things. The better and most powerful aid would be to call upon the energies or vibrations of an enlightened being. There is nothing more powerful than an enlightened mind. So, reciting the mantra or prayers, having a properly consecrated image, or making offerings to any Buddha or enlightened being will be of much greater benefit than using crystals. In fact crystals have been used as part of malas (Buddhist rosaries) for centuries, but it is not the crystals themselves that make the practice powerful, but the practice themselves. The crystals are simply an aid. However, just as crystals have their own energy or vibration, these can change over time. They can also pick up negative energies or even be portals for malevolent beings to enter them. If you have crystals or use crystals for whatever reason, they should be 'cleansed' regularly. This can be done by passing them over incense smoke. The best would be to burn Protector Rice in the incense and pass them over the smoke released. Alternatively, you can recite the mantra of any enlightened Buddha 108 times and then blow on the crystals. The energy of the mantra recited is held on the breath, hence when you blow on the crystals, it transfers the energy of the mantra onto the crystal, dispelling any negativity. Mantras that you can use for this purposes include Lama Tsongkhapa's Mig Tse Ma, Dorje Shugden's Mantra, Medicine Buddha Mantra, Green Tara Mantra, Chenrezig's Mantra. These are all good, but the mantra of any Buddha is also very good. I hope this helps.

January 19, 2023 12:33JW 问: I write 'BAM' on my wrist to kind of remind myself to avoid any non-virtue because I don't look at necklaces nd oendnts during the day, people work with their hands, so I write it on my hand so it is directly in front my my face. But the issue is that is it disrespectful to bring it into the bathroom, or should a I cover it or wash it off. pastor 已答: Dear JW, Thanks for your question. The BAM syllable is the sacred syllable of Vajra Yogini as it encapsulates her energy and the mind of an enlightened being. As such, traditionally it would be considered disrespectful to bring the syllable into the bathroom. If you still want to write it on your wrist, then please do cover it or wash it off before going to the bathroom. However, we suggest that rather than using an outer reminder not to commit non-virtue, you can use a mental reminder. Either through reciting a mantra softly, or perhaps a verse of Dharma scripture. The way to do this is to keep reciting the mantra or verse until you have memorised it and associate it will not committing non-virtue but doing virtuous actions instead. Then since you have it memorised, you can recite it regularly throughout the day. Then you automatically remember not to commit non-virtue. This will help more than outer reminders, as you are training your mind directly, and at the same time, you will generate merit from the power that comes from reciting mantras or Dharma verses. The merit you generate from reciting will also make it easier to remember not to do any non-virtuous actions. I hope this helps.

January 18, 2023 03:45WLY 问: I saw rhis tiktok that was very famous (700k likes), the video itself was nothing bad, it was just a video suggesting Buddhism. Bu trhe comments were something else, they said somrthing like folloe the rules by how YOU see them or somrthing like you interpret the rules themself? Seeing those comments made me have many emotions. Anger, ego, yet at the same time I wanted to help them get out of that mindset out of kindness. I have no idea how to go about this. I feel angry at them for getting such a basic thing wrong (this anger was stupid in a way, because I was once in their shoes) and I had ego because I thought I knew more than everyone in the comment section (it may be true, but it’s still arrogant ans egotistical) so again how should I go about this? pastor 已答: Dear WLY, Thank you for your question. When you study the Dharma and know more, you can have these sorts of feelings when you come across people who have their own interpretations of the Dharma, or try to interpret the Dharma by how they see it and not how it was taught. It is natural to have such feelings, so you shouldn't feel bad about them. The very fact that you saw and realised you were angry and that ego arose, is a good sign! It means that what you have been studying or learning has gone in, you were able to recognise those feelings when they arose and you want to do something about them! From the side of those people, they also have their own emotions and thoughts so perhaps that is why they think in that manner. These days people 'practise' Buddhism for a whole host of reasons, some of them practise to simply feel good, others maybe because it's a fad, and others because they are serious about their spiritual journey. Whatever the reasons, we should try not to judge them. Everyone has the potential to become a Buddha, hence at the very core we are all pure in nature but this innate potential is clouded by many things - emotions, delusions, etc. From our side, such an experience is good in that you saw how your emotions affected you and more than that, you want to do something about that. There is no need to feel bad. You saw how your anger and ego work. So the question arises, how do you use this on your spiritual path? You need to work with this anger and ego by utilising it to transform your mind so you can progress. This can be done many ways, I'll mention two. The first is to practise humility. Yes, this means in physical interactions, but more importantly, it also means internally. Mentally. So, as it is said in the Eight Verses of Mind Transformation, "Whenever I associate with anyone, May I view myself as least of all, And, from the depths of my heart, May I cherish others as supreme!" People will always have differing thoughts then ourselves, there is no way that everyone will think the way we think or want them to think. When we practise humility, that will lessen our angry or ego. The second method I can suggest is to use such experiences in contemplation meditations that work with the emotions of anger and ego directly. It's a bit too complicated to explain all of that here, but you can get one of our books here which deals with contemplation/insight meditations working to overcome certain emotions (including anger/ego) : https://www.vajrasecrets.com/insightful-meditation You can use these meditations whenever you get angry or your ego comes up. I hope this helps.

January 17, 2023 20:31Luna 问: Is it okay when I visualise that the essence of the statue/image is the genuine Buddha? Or when I see that inside/internally the image is a genuine Buddha. Or do I have to see the image itself as the Buddha pastor 已答: Dear Luna, We are taught to think of any Buddha as the actual Buddha, not that the essence of the statue/image of the Buddha is a genuine Buddha. But the actual statue itself. The same goes for Dharma texts, seeing it as the Dharma jewel, the same applies for the Sangha too. These are part of the Refuge commitments. You can read them here: https://resources.tsemtulku.com/prayers/preliminaries/the-refuge-vows.html When we take Refuge, we are taught the vows, which stop us from collecting negative karma. But there are commitments involved as well. Commitments help us to created merit and positive energy when benefits us in both secular and spiritual life. I hope this helps.

January 16, 2023 12:36Anonymous 问: Can lgbt be monks and nuns? Especially trans people? Can a trans-man be with the monks and male-part of Sangha? Can I recite prayers in my mind or does it have to be out loud. I find that I concentrate more when in mind, because when I voice my orayers out loud my mind thinks about this and that. But when I THINK the read the prayers IN MY MIND, those random thoughts go away. Is Vajrayogini one with Tsongkhapa? or is it just simply that Tsongkhapa has to ability to transform himself to Vajrayogini. pastor 已答: Dear Anonymous, The term 'Lgbt' covers many categories of people. In short, yes and no. It depends on the specific category. However, some categories are mentioned in the Vinaya, other categories are not, so it depends on the ordination master. There are certain categories of people that have traditionally been restricted to becoming monastics, however some ordination masters may allow such a person as time has changed. A trans man may becoming a monk depending again on what your definition of trans actually is. Prayers should be recited out loud but softly. Prayers and mantras especially are the form of a particular Buddha in sound, the very sound made through recitation has an affect on us and is the medium through which the energies of the Buddhas benefit us. There are prayers or mantras recited only in the mind, but those are usually only included in higher teachings such as tantra, for which you need to take vows and hold commitments to engage in. For normal prayers that the non-initiated engage in, they should be spoken out loud but softly as mentioned earlier. In regards to Lama Tsongkhapa and Vajra Yogini, please see this video by Tsem Rinpoche: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elBCVeGDncQ Vajra Yogini and Tsongkhapa are one. In fact, all the Buddhas are one. This is what is known as the Dharmakaya or the Truth Body of a fully enlightened being. This is 'one' thing but encompasses every single enlightened being. So when Rinpoche talked about Lama Tsongkhapa transforming into Vajra Yogini, it was a way for students to understand Vajra Yogini better, as they were already familiar with Lama Tsongkhapa. So Rinpoche was showing that even though the forms may be different, ultimately they are the same - completely enlightened. I hope this helps.

January 15, 2023 00:50Shamik 问: Respected Sir, Is it possible for one to work his way to enlightenment while being in the samskara and attending to his earthly duties? If yes, how? Thank you pastor 已答: Dear Shamik, Thank you for your question. Yes of course it is possible to reach enlightenment but still living a lay life. Obviously, it is easier for those who are monks and nuns to reach enlightenment, because of the power of the vows that they take and that they don't have to spend time and energy on thinking about secular affairs. So it is still possible for lay people, however they need to make time and put more effort into their practice and transformation. Many great master of the past have been lay people, and not monks or nuns. They way to work towards reaching enlightenment is the same, it is through study, contemplation, meditation and transformation. In Kechara we follow the path of the Lamrim teachings, according to our tradition. This teaching provides practitioners (whether lay or monastic) the pathway and knowledge of how to practice and what to contemplate on and how to meditate properly. The text we use is known as Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand, available her: https://www.vajrasecrets.com/lamrim-liberation-in-the-palm-of-your-hand I hope this helps. Thank you.

January 13, 2023 04:06Kay 问: How do we renounce the rubbish parts of us and our lives? What does renouncing mean and is enlightenment possible? pastor 已答: Dear Kay, Renunciation in Buddhism means we develop the motivation to get out of samsara. In order to know what samsara really is, you need to learn what life is actually really like. This is basically the first and second of the Four Noble Truths taught by Buddha Shakyamuni - there is sufferings & sufferings has its causes - karma. But the thing is that we often don't realise we are suffering. In Buddhism, even when we think we are happy, we are actually sufferings. All of this included within teachings such as the Lamrim. Once you have studied and comprehended the teachings intellectually, you need to contemplate them and see if they apply to your life. The answer in short will be that, yes they do if you really and truly contemplate your life, etc. you will find that you are suffering in some way. So renunciation develops from this understand. Since you know you are suffering, you want to get out of that suffering. So you renounce samsara in it's entirety, the bad and even the good, because even the good within in samsara will lead you to suffer. In order to renounce samsara completely, to get out of it, you need to achieve enlightenment, just like Buddha Shakyamuni did. Is this possible? Yes, of course it is. Buddha Shakyamuni did it, practitioners since his time have done it. Buddha would not have taught something that did not benefit others, so his teachings take us to that state. But even before Buddha Shakyamuni's time there have been many enlightened beings, they all reached that state. I hope this helps. Thank you.

January 10, 2023 05:41Anonymous 问: Can I have hindu gods as Buddhas? Like Hindu Saraswati as Saraswati, Ganesha as white Ganapati/maharakta Ganapati, Lakshmi as Yellow Vasudhara, and so on? pastor 已答: Dear Anonymous, Yes of you can do this. However, when you make offerings on your altar, you should think they are representations of the Buddhas, and not gods. Then you are making offerings to the actual Buddhas. Having such images on your altar is okay, but when you are engaged in their actual practices, you should visualise the Buddhas according to the practice itself. For example, Saraswati is visualised differently. Her iconography is very specific and unique is very much linked to how to do the practice itself. So in your practice itself you should follow the practice texts properly. Actually physical images on our altar are meant to be an aid for our visualisation, in order to get the details of the deity correct, etc. That's why the best statues to have are the ones that adhere to the iconography of the deity you are practising. However, if due to personal preference you want to use images of the Hindu gods, that is perfect alright. But it means you need to learn the visualisations of the practice better, because you won't have an external image on your altar to help guide your practice. I hope this helps.

January 9, 2023 21:04Vuee Wong 问: Do I have to visualise Vajrayogini as one with Tsongkhapa which is one with my Guru? Or can I simply visualise Vajrayogini as one with my Guru? Can you explain each of the paragraphs in Yonten Shigyurma? I say it blindly without understanding but I know that's wrong pastor 已答: Dear Vuee Wong, When you are starting on Vajra Yogini's practice without having the initiation, you visualise Vajra Yogini and your Guru as one. Whichever Buddha you are practising, you visualise them as being one with your Guru. In fact, since you do not have the initiation, you cannot recite Vajra Yogini's actual mantra. The way to do it, is to visualise her as one with your Guru and then recite your Guru's name mantra. That way, you are praying to Vajra Yogini, because she is actually one and the same as your guru. I hope this makes sense? To explain the Yonten Shugyurma is beyond the ability of this section of the blog. The prayer itself is actually a condensed form of the Lamrim. To understand that prayer properly, you need to have studied and contemplated on the topics of the Lamrim. The text we use here in Kechara, is available here: https://www.vajrasecrets.com/lamrim-liberation-in-the-palm-of-your-hand I hope this helps.

Last Monday, 28th Nov 2022 was 'Many Hands Make Light Work' Day. Kechara Penang members gathered together to clean the altar, polish offerings bowls and etc. Sweeping, cleaning and arranging offerings are very important in Buddhism. In fact, it's the first of the preparatory practices as taught in Lamrim. While we clean, it's good to chant mantras or listening to it, such as reciting 'Dulpung Drima Pung' when we are sweeping.
