I watched the wedding ceremony a few mths ago and being a cynic abt wedding vows and the possibility of maintaining a lifelong faith towards each other, i must say i was truely impressed and tears came to my eyes.
Qns: Marriage vows only exists when the couple BOTH undertake it. When one of them breaks the vow eg being infidel, does it automatically null the vow for the other partner, ie the other partner is free to be romantically linked to someone else without committing a sin?

In Taos, they believe one's name is very important to determine the person life is good or not and sometimes the 'master' even can calculate how it will affect the next generations.Therefore, one's name should be change. Is this apply to Buddhism? or does this so called 'name ' exist?

Dear Pastor,
I have a friend who is Indian lady with Hinduism religion. Her husband was passed away 2 months ago but she still saw her husband spirit in her house. Sometimes 'He' will disturb her by awake her during slept time, sometimes heard the scolding from 'him', sometime heard TV sound. Before her husband death, started many years ago their relationship between each other was not so good, now my friend already let go all the hard feeling, she even cried seriously during her husband passing away.
She was tension now and just follow the Hindu monk instruction to offering light to her husband, in order to hope he will gone off the house after 4 month period which told by the monk.
Pastor, pls suggest a way where myself or she can reduce the suffer for her husband.

Rinpoche, I have been reading your chat function and it is super cool. I was online in a Buddhist forum few days ago. I didn't participate yet, but I read you are very famous and well known now. You are becoming one of the most well known teachers on the Buddhist scene now. I wish to say you have worked hard and you are reaching out to more people in the world. I have my teacher, but I respect you tremendously. Please keep it up and I offer my prayers to for you.

Hi Pastors
Thank you for answering my previous question. I was just reading Rinpoche's blog post on Tsongkhapa retreat https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/tsongkhapa/tsongkhapa-retreat-instructions-and-prayer-text.html and noted we should avoid garlic, onion egg, meat, which I have previously read before but hadn't heard of no dairy which I previously read were considered 'white' foods and encouraged. I was wondering what the reasons for this, whether they be ethical (ie the cows feel pain when separated from their calf and milked to the point of exhaustion on many commercial farms) or from scriptures ( sutras, tantras)? Does the Buddha encourage a vegan diet in any of his teachings? Thank you.

Hi Pastors,
I have an embarrasing question to ask. While I was doing prostation today, my kids were making a lot of noise and in a fit of anger, I had excused myself from the 3 jewels, got up and yelled at my kids, then I went back to resume my prostation. Obviously I realize that what I have done was not good. I have heard Rinpoche say in the past that if we leave the session halfway then the prostation does not count. I started doing prostrations since February, does this mean that I have voided my prostations and need to start from the beginnig. I am angry with my self now but I realize that the damage has been done already. It is so hard sometimes to focus and stay in a meditative state with so much going on around me. I guess these are obstacles to overcome? I don't know. I appreciate any advice you can give me.
With deepest regret,
MC

His parent are Christians [I am from Romania, an Orthodox Christian country] . I myself can not say that I am a Buddhist [only half Buddhist how I like to say 🙂 , because I didn't receive refuge in Buddhism. I pray in my own way, I have my own ritual with some prayers and some mantras. I hope someday I will meet my guru and I will receive refuge and initiation. But I am not important now . i want you to help me to do something for this kid and I don't want his parents know about because I don't know how much they understand. I want to do this in the morning when i do my daily prayers. His parents went with little boy to Christian church and I want to try to do something in my way. PLEASE !!!

dear pastors,
why did tamedran died…. its heart-breaking.. all our prayers are bounded by good motivations, why didnt it work?
is it because our motivation are selfish thts why it did not work?
in times of distressed, ive prayed for other things as well but my prayers were not answered.. i comtemplate… was it because my 'good motivation' wasnt good or honourable enough? or is it because i did not offer any offering to the holy beings… or the holy being are just to busy with other far more important things…
was i naive to turn things to the supernatural im i feel helpless….
im losing faith here… is there anything to recommend me to rekindled my faith on buddhsim? thankyou, much appreciated

会见讲法师们
为社区服务，从不言倦

谢松平讲法师（即将出家）
作为讲法师，谢松平主要是透过法会、仪式、辅导和分享佛法知识，将此生用在协助詹杜固仁波切弘法利生的事业上。
谢松平于2011年被授任为讲法师，他的佛法事业既丰富又多元，既曾在克切拉天堂文物中心担任过举足轻重的职务，也曾是尊贵的詹杜固仁波切的私人助理，不仅到过不同圣地朝圣，也接受过多项高级瑜伽密续灌顶。他熟悉多种法会仪式，对佛法也有深入的理解。
作为讲法师，谢松平主要是透过法会、仪式、辅导和分享佛法知识，将此生用在协助詹杜固仁波切弘法利生的事业上。
当谢松平第一次遇见詹杜固仁波切时，仁波切就问他是否愿意出家为僧。虽然那是谢松平的心愿，不过当时的他还是告诉仁波切，自己打算迟一些再出家。对谢松平来说，本身既然已经是全职佛法工作者，出家将会是最好的事。仁波切不时都会提醒谢松平为出家做准备，而他也答应自己未来将会出家。
克切拉从零开始发展至今日的克切拉禅修林这么大规模的计划——谢松平觉得，目前正是他出家的最佳时刻。于是当仁波切再次问起他出家的打算时，他就一口答应了。
邝仁爱讲法师（即将出家）
J仁爱希望成为传承宗喀巴大师法教的媒介，利益年轻下一代；并且启发更多人把佛陀的教诲实践在生活里。
由于邝仁爱的父母亲很多年前就开始跟克切拉有很深的接触，所以她年幼时期就遇见了尊贵的詹杜固仁波切。没有仁波切的日子，对她来说是难于想象的。仁爱自小就在詹拉章当志工。在考获英国伦敦沃里克大学心理学学士后，她在伦敦缓刑管理局工作。之后回到马来西亚加入E 部门，负责管理kechara.com的每周 Kechara 电子新闻，工作内容包括撰稿和审稿。较后，她加入仁波切的写作小组，负责执行仁波切的指示，以及管理仁波切的往来信件。
在2004年参访印度的一家僧尼庵之后，仁爱说，她还记得当时看见里面的每个人都洋溢着快乐的笑脸，大家的生活都很有目标。她也感觉很熟悉，看在她眼里，僧袍是如此的舒服和自在。在征询了母亲的意见后，仁爱立即给仁波切发短信告诉他自己想要出家的念头。当时仁波切劝告她必须先完成大学学业，如此一来，当她讲法时，一言一语才能有力量和深度。她是在将来要出家为僧尼的推动力下完成大学学业。
仁爱希望透过出家为僧尼，把自己当成传承宗喀巴大师法教的媒介，利益年轻下一代；并且启发更多人把佛陀的教诲实践在生活里。她希望通过这样的方式来回报父母亲和上师的恩惠。此外，她也希望自己和别人都能同时离苦得乐。
陈稚鑫讲法师（即将出家）
对稚鑫而言，下定决心努力利益众生及通过分享佛法来回报他人恩惠，是她所跨出的一大步。
在加入克切拉之前，陈稚鑫是一名讲师、课程内容编写员，同时也负责编写电子学习方案。在负责给各大学院教职人员准备“特殊用途英语”（ESP）训练课程的当儿，她受邀出席尊贵的詹杜固仁波切的开示。这场开示重新点燃她对藏传佛教的兴趣，唤起她年少时经常跟父母出席佛法开示的美好回忆。
2006年，陈稚鑫加入克切拉媒体出版社，成为全职的市场执行员，负责把仁波切的教诲推广到世界各角落。如今，稚鑫是詹拉章的一员，负责照顾仁波切的世俗事务，让仁波切专注于弘法利生工作。
稚鑫说，当她决定加入克切拉当全职职工时，就誓言要把此生用在做一些利益众生的事。由于在仁波切身边侍奉，她亲见上师即使面对多艰巨的挑战，都不曾言倦地协助别人，弘扬甘丹寺的传承佛法；这让她明了出家为尼是她的下一步，如此才能创造向上师学习佛法的条件。这也是稚鑫努力利益众生及通过分享佛法回报他人恩惠，所跨出的一大步。
温婉如讲法师（即将出家）
自从在克切拉找到了自己的心灵归宿后，婉如就把佛法事业作为她人生的使命，并希望将一生都用来弘法利生。
婉如在2010年底无意中发现了詹杜固仁波切的博客，之后就一直跟随仁波切的博客和面子书。在2012年7月自台湾法鼓文理学院考获佛教学系文学硕士学位后，婉如就回到马来西亚加入克切拉成为资深教育执行员。婉如深受仁波切说法时的直率风格所吸引，也惊叹于克切拉在仁波切的领导下所取得的发展成绩。对她而言，仁波切是一位言行一致、言出必行、真心关怀他人的大师。他无疑是上师依止心的最佳榜样，这也是婉如一心要在自己心里生起的美好特质。
自从在克切拉找到了自己的心灵归宿后，婉如就把佛法事业作为她人生的使命。2013年5月，她正式请求仁波切授予她出家戒，她希望通过出家将生命完全奉献在弘法利生上。婉如说，出家意味着自己真诚回应内在的呼唤，即将佛法贯彻于生活及造福他人。
T这个目标唯有在遇见根本上师并向他学习后才可能达到；婉如很幸运的遇见了自己的根本上师——尊贵的詹杜固仁波切。
尼拉讲法师（即将出家）
尼拉请求出家受戒，一方面是为了提升自己，另一方面也希望能透过学习传承法教，将纯净的教诲延续到下一代。他发愿要像上师詹杜固仁波切利益他那样来造福其他人。
尼拉在英国出生和长大，大学时期主修人类学。毕业之后，他曾先后在一家酒店式公寓及旅馆公司及一家管理公司担任财务管理员。在一个偶然的机缘下，他在网络上发现了尊贵的詹杜固仁波切的 Youtube 频道。正是透过仁波切的教诲，尼拉开始明白如果想要自利利他，最重要的就是要修习佛法。
在网络上与仁波切“结缘”之后，尼拉一直都与詹杜固仁波切其中一位在英国的弟子保持联系。在后者的鼓励下，他于2012年底专程前来马来西亚克切拉佛教中心进行十天的访问和学习。离开前，詹杜固仁波切要求尼拉加入克切拉佛教团体。尼拉毅然答应了。
2013年2月，尼拉离开英国迁移到马来西亚，开始在克切拉佛教中心担任教育协调员一职，协助教育小组编排和实施新课程纲要，同时也参与克切拉周日儿童佛法班的授课工作。自遇见詹杜固仁波切以来，仁波切不断鼓励他多从事佛法事业，努力改进自己。尼拉也将仁波切的叮嘱铭记于心，正因如此，他决定向詹杜固仁波切提出出家的请求。
尼拉请求出家受戒，一方面是为了提升自己，另一方面也希望能透过学习传承法教，将纯净的教诲延续到下一代。他发愿要像上师詹杜固仁波切利益他那样来造福其他人。
陈锦丽讲法师（即将出家）
锦丽专注于透过佛法分享、辅导、法会和其他佛教服务，给每一个走入克切拉的人指引和帮助。她希望能藉由协助弘扬宗喀巴大师的殊胜法教及启发别人踏上灵修之路来报答上师的恩惠。这也是亲爱的上师一直以来对她的劝告。
锦丽在2006年跟友人前往金双威用餐时发现了克切拉佛教中心，之后立即参与了克切拉主办的活动。她更踊跃参与了当时的一千万《缘悲经》念诵闭关。 2006年4月，锦丽遇见了尊贵的詹杜固仁波切，也第一次出席了仁波切的开示，那次的开示让锦丽禁不止流泪。当时的她并不明白自己哭泣的原因，直到后来她才明白那是因为自己终于找到了完美的上师，而仁波切慈悲地以身示教的弘法方式更是深深感动了她。
锦丽在2009年加入克切拉佛教中心成为全职职工，负责内部事务。目前，她是克切拉佛教中心其中一位前台服务经理，主要驻派在彭亨文冬的禅修林。此外，她也在星期天的佛法班授课，并经常作为詹杜固仁波切博客聊天室的协调员。
仁波切的许多教诲改变了她生命里的轻重缓急。她在佛法中找到了生命的目标，也意识到只有跟随佛陀的慈悲和智慧之道，才是克服痛苦和愤怒的方法。 这个领悟让她提出了出家的请求。
锦丽目前是一位佛教讲法师，将来会出家为僧尼。她将专注于透过佛法分享、辅导、法会和其他佛教服务，给每一个走入克切拉的人指引和帮助。她希望能藉由协助弘扬宗喀巴大师的殊胜法教及启发别人踏上灵修之路来报答上师的恩惠。
罗胜彪讲法师（即将出家）
罗胜彪决心协助仁波切弘扬佛法，带着这个坚定的决心，罗胜彪放弃到剑桥大学继续研读博士学位（他当时已获录取）的机会，也辞去了研究工作，全职协助仁波切从事佛法事业，至今从不言悔。
罗胜彪于2001年初遇尊贵的詹杜固仁波切时，并没想过自己会全心全意投入佛法事业。那一年，工程系硕士学位毕业的他正在新加坡从事工程研究工作。然而，仁波切的开示让他留下非常深刻的印象。跟仁波切有过几次接触之后，罗胜彪开始为仁波切和克切拉架设网站。
罗胜彪虽是理科班出生，却深感人生有许多疑问是科学无法圆满解答的。与此同时，他也发现任凭科学技术再怎么发达，也不能真正解决人类所面对的难题，因为今天科技发达，生活水准比起几千年前高出许多，但是人类仍然面对着同样的问题，我们也不见得过得比古人幸福快乐。
在接触仁波切之后，罗胜彪很快就意识到佛法是解决这些问题的究竟方案，而仁波切采用的方法也非常适合现代社会。因此，罗胜彪决心协助仁波切弘扬佛法，带着这个坚定的决心，罗胜彪放弃到剑桥大学继续研读博士学位（他当时已获录取）的机会，也辞去了研究工作，全职协助仁波切从事佛法事业，至今从不言悔。
对罗胜彪而言，遇见仁波切是个全新的人生经历。仁波切让他看到了佛法可以在跳出传统框架的同时，依然保留其精髓。因为身为仁波切的私人助理，罗胜彪有过许多不可思议的经历。他自认非常幸运，能亲眼见证仁波切无论在法座上或生活中，都把佛法化为具体的行动。这些经验在在考验他，挑战他每时每刻都修持佛法。透过这个方式，仁波切成功地剔除他既往偏重佛法仪式的陈腐思维模式。
罗胜彪因亲见仁波切以身示法，所以深信要让心识提升至更高层次，进而获得证悟是绝对可能的。这种种因素促使罗胜彪再踏出一步，受任成为讲法师，好让自己能更有效地弘扬佛法和利益众生。
郭月谊讲法师
个性内向的郭月谊，凭着勇气和决心，将本身的弱点转为优点，还一一将曾经的不可能都化为可能。
郭月谊从9岁起就必须学会独立，年幼的她必须一边上学，一边还要打工赚钱养家。她个性内向，不善于表达自己的想法，朋友也不多，所以她在毕业后加入报馆成为记者，让许多认识她的人大跌眼镜。
郭月谊在光明日报和南洋商报任职期间，曾因表现优异而获奖。写作让她找到了一个抒发感受和想法的管道，而她的文章也为她吸引了一众读者。然而，这一切都不能带给月谊真正的满足。短暂的快乐并不是她所要的——成功、金钱、关系和名誉并不是快乐的关键。
在寻找快乐的过程中，月谊遇见了尊贵的詹杜固仁波切。仁波切告诉她“不要以言语来反驳他人，反而应利用文字来好好表达自己。”这促使她加入克切拉媒体出版社成为撰稿人，后升任为资深编辑，同时也是詹杜固仁波切的其中一位协调助理。
郭月谊目前是克切拉佛教中心的主席，也是首席讲法师，除了讲法师的日常事务如辅导、法会、讲课之余，她也必须管理和安排克切拉佛教中心和讲法师团体中的各种大小事务。这些年在克切拉的所学和经历，让她拥有一个更宽容和开放的胸襟，使她更懂得安抚和辅导那些有需要的人。而她后期培养出的讲课和栽培新人的能力，也给许多人带来了希望。
凭着勇气和决心，郭月谊将本身的弱点转为优点，一一将曾经的不可能都化为可能。
谢晓晶讲法师
担任讲法师职位长达一年后，谢晓晶决定更新戒誓，继续扛起讲法师的责任。
谢晓晶在1999年毕业于广州暨南大学，持有内外全科医学学士学位。之后，她在吉隆坡一间中医学院兼任讲授西方医学的讲师多年。
一直以来,虽然谢晓晶表面上看似一位无神论者,但是潜意识里却不断寻找一位可回答她深藏在内心疑问的精神导师。这些得不到解答的疑问曾在大学时期导致她陷入忧郁状态。为此,谢晓晶经常透过阅读哲学书籍,以期能得到问题的解答。
2007年,谢晓晶经由她十年好友郭月谊讲法师的介绍，初次来到了克切拉。 谢晓晶对完全没有信仰的老友月谊讲法师的彻底改变感到非常惊讶和好奇。在一次偶然的机会下,谢晓晶阅读了克切拉媒体(简称:克媒)出版社的《贪得无厌》。起初,她惯性地以怀疑的态度阅读，试图找出书中谬误之处。然而, 这一次她不仅找不到漏洞，反而对书中逻辑条理分明的解释留下深刻的印象。
2009年3月,谢晓晶加入克媒兼任中文翻译和抄录工作。翌年,她慎重考虑未来的事业方向，思考如何在医学和佛法事业中做出取舍。最终,她选择了佛法事业。谢晓晶领悟到两者虽然同为救济职业,但她相信佛法事业能更深入地利益一切有情。
担任讲法师职位长达一年后，谢晓晶决定更新戒誓，继续扛起讲法师的责任。
林汉妮讲法师
在亲眼目睹尊贵的詹杜固仁波切如何协助她的母亲得到临终前的平静后，林汉妮才意识到自己也希望以佛法来触动他人。
林汉妮是一位退休中学校长，持有莱切斯特大学教育硕士学位，从事教育工作长达30年后于2001年底退休。工作以外，她也是两名孩子的母亲。
在完成硕士学位后，林汉妮考虑继续考取教育博士学位，或打算在退休之后好好去旅游和探望亲友。与此同时，她也在寻找灵修上的方向。因此，林汉妮开始探讨上座部和中国大乘佛教的教义，以期能找到人生的答案。
2004年12月，林汉妮参加了尊贵的格列仁波切举办的《菩提道次第》及白度母闭关。在闭关期间，林汉妮发现自己的问题逐渐有了答案。然后，在 2005年6月，她在姐姐的介绍下来到克切拉，也因此遇见了她的精神导师尊贵的詹杜固仁波切。詹杜固仁波切最近劝告她必须为了众生的利益全神投入佛法事业。
虽然林汉妮有接近二十年的校园辅导经验，但直到亲眼目睹尊贵的詹杜固仁波切如何协助她的母亲得到临终前的平静后，林汉妮才意识到自己也希望以佛法来触动他人。
目前，林汉妮除了是克切拉法会小组成员，在克切拉祈愿堂进行赞助法会以外，还是克切拉教育小组的成员，专注于编著教育内容。此外，林汉妮也是詹杜固仁波切博客的每周“克切拉聊天室小组”成员之一。
黎国圆讲法师
在2014年，黎国圆本着想要帮助更多人的心愿，决定受戒成为佛教讲法师，继续为克切拉团体提供一切与佛法相关的服务。
黎国圆跟随尊贵的詹杜固仁波切学法长达10余年，属于克切拉初创时期的成员之一。他于2005年加入克切拉天堂文物中心成为全职员工，后来也曾陆续在克切拉团体的其他部门服务。
打从一开始，詹杜固仁波切就鼓励黎国圆投入写作工作。在克服了种种障碍后，黎国圆终于展开写作生涯，并在2009年推出他的第一本著作和自传《There’ s No Way But Up》（不进则退）。这本书记述了他自幼的灵修旅程，直到他遇见根本上师――尊贵的詹杜固仁波切的种种经历。
世界各地读者对“There’ s No Way But Up”一书的热烈反应推动黎国圆继续撰写其他著作，包括尼泊尔朝圣指南《Vajrayogini and other Power Places in Nepal》（金刚瑜伽母及尼泊尔其他圣地）、短篇故事集《Tales My Lama Told Me》（上师告诉我的那些传说）以及关于情感关系的《Conversations in Love》（亲密对话）。这些著作给许多人带来启发，也将无数人带向佛法的殿堂。
除了写作，黎国圆自从在克切拉天堂工作的时期开始，就非常热衷于跟他人分享佛法。这些年来，黎国圆从詹杜固仁波切那里接受了无数宝贵的教诲，内容涵盖詹杜固仁波切的公开开示以及仁波切给黎国圆的个人指示和忠告。在大家的印象中，黎国圆一直都是个十分热衷于分享佛法的人。无论他到哪儿去，遇见什么人，他都会热情地与他人分享佛法。在2014年，黎国圆本着想要帮助更多人的心愿，决定受戒成为佛教讲法师，继续为克切拉团体提供一切与佛法相关的服务。
黄松发讲法师
跟随仁波切学法多年之后，黄松发深明讲法师在克切拉团体扮演的重要角色，因此他希望自己也能成为一名讲法师，以进一步为仁波切、克切拉及社会大众服务。
黄松发于1952年出生在马来西亚槟城州。1969年中五毕业后，他南下吉隆坡寻找就业机会。多年来他从事过各种不同的行业，也曾面对失业的窘境。就在1997至1998年期间，正在待业的他受邀到表妹林秀月家中（现为拿督林秀月）参加詹杜固仁波切的佛法开示。第一次的会面，就让他对詹杜固仁波切深入浅出的教法留下了十分深刻的印象。
在仁波切慈悲的开示和引导下，黄松发两夫妻进行了他们首次的闭关修行。他和妻子李淑芳也在仁波切的建议下开始经营小生意，并在很短的时间内就盈利。几年后，克切拉佛教中心正式成立，仁波切开始遴选弟子担任协调助理，而黄松发和拿督林秀月就在那时候毛遂自荐担起这项任务。后来，随着越来越多弟子加入协调助理的阵容，克切拉协调助理理事会也跟着正式成立。今天，协调助理理事会虽已改名为董事会，黄松发却依旧是其中一员。
黄松发目前的职务为克切拉禅修林工程总监，主要负责监督禅修林大小项目的建设以及确保工程能如期完工。在这之前，他曾担任克切拉天堂文物中心部门主管长达10年。此外，黄松发也是克切拉团体多个部门的总监，并曾在2012至2013年期间受委为克切拉佛教中心副主席。
跟随仁波切学法多年之后，黄松发深明讲法师在克切拉团体扮演的重要角色，因此他希望自己也能成为一名讲法师，以进一步为仁波切、克切拉及社会大众服务。黄松发计划在晚年出家为僧，而担任讲法师一职正有助于他朝这个目标前进。黄松发深信：当一个人的年纪越大，就越应该为死亡的逼近做好准备。他认为能身着僧袍在克切拉禅修林迎接死亡是生命最美丽的终结。然而，在那一刻到来之前，黄松发希望自己能继续竭尽所能为克切拉禅修林、社区和前来禅修林的每一个人服务。当体力再也无法负荷的时候，他会请求仁波切允许他在克切拉禅修林投入闭关。
林秀云讲法师
如今，秀云最渴望的是把自己的余生都投入佛法工作和修行，从而利益更多人。
在投入佛法工作前，秀云是一位空闲的家庭主妇。20年前，她有幸遇见了尊贵的詹杜固仁波切和前往甘丹寺朝圣。这一个星期的朝圣之旅改变了她的人生观，让她觉悟到人生除了吃喝、逛街和玩乐，还有其他更有意义的事。她喜欢仁波切的佛法开示，因为那不但符合逻辑和实践性强，且还特别强调利益他人的重要性。仁波切让佛法显得浅显易懂，而他一直以来的忠告总是“改变内在，而非外在”。
实修佛法多年之后，林秀云于2009年决定在本身居住的槟城设立佛教文物中心，以期跟更多人结下佛缘。她知道仁波切的佛法教诲十分实用，十分适合现代人，而仁波切佛法事业也能利惠许多人，所以她希望跟更多人分享仁波切的教诲，也希望能借此来回报仁波切多年来对她的恩惠和指导。今天，位于槟城的克切拉天堂不仅仅是一间文物店，还是一个主办佛法分享会、法会和放生活动的地方。
2010年，同样也是在仁波切的加持下，秀云在槟城设立了克切拉香积厨活动中心，秉持仁波切强调“以行动展现慈悲”的精神，积极为减轻流浪汉和贫困家庭的苦痛出一份力。槟城克切拉香积厨除了每周四次的派饭行动，也每月一次为赤贫家庭提供基本食粮。
如今，秀云最渴望的是，用自己的余生投入佛法工作和修行，从而利益更多人。
利荣讲法师
利荣于2008年加入克切拉天堂文物中心成为兼职员工。然而，在对仁波切和克切拉事业有了进一步的了解之后，仁波切的慈悲深深触动了他。与此同时，他也意识到这份工作让他的生命更具意义，因此毅然全职加入克切拉团体。
作为克切拉天堂的业务执行员，让利荣有机会从仁波切的教诲中学习到更多佛法。这些佛法智慧让他能够帮助那些走入文物中心的人们解决各种问题，从而改善他们的生命。
这些经历让利荣很快地就决定跟随仁波切的步伐，并在2016年受戒成为讲法师，进一步以佛法来服务和造福他人。

April 18, 2024 04:16Sirius 问: Dear pastors, Im currently trying to start my ngondro practice. I want to follow the instructions of Tsem Rinpoche. My question is what preliminary practice should we focus on first? If there was a proper order. The practice that I'm already doing everyday at night is Vajrasattva, but I'm missing the rest. Please give me advice. pastor 已答: Dear Sirius, Thanks for your question. We are really happy to read that you want to engage in ngondro practices. We do have an article about ngondro here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/preliminary-practice.html The article includes sample prayer texts for the retreats, etc. However, the article does not include the full prayers text for each, visualisation guides, associated contemplations, etc. The ngondro practices are extended retreats, so unless you have had practice doing shorter retreats, I suggest you start by doing shorter retreats. For ngondro practices to be complete, you need to do 100,000 repititions of a the particular practice. You must do at least 1 full retreat session a day, with the requisite altar setup, offerings, full prayer recitation, etc. Traditionally, the first ngondro practice to be done is the refuge ngondro. In 2022, we ran an online programme for those wishing to complete their refuge preliminary at home. While the programme has finished, all the materials, prayers texts, visualisation guides, contemplation guides and references are still available for people who wish to complete their refuge ngondro. There is a small fee associated with access to this. You can find some information about the programme here: https://www.kecharaforestretreat.com/practice-weekend-refuge/. If you would like access to the materials, you can contact care@kechara.com with your request to join the Refuge Practice Group. However, please note that there are prequisities for joining the group, such as having completed Level 1 of our Lamrim course. Ngondro practices in our tradition are not beginner level practices, hence require some knowledge of the teachings before hand. If you have attended Lamrim courses at other Dharma centres, please indicate so in the email. Hope this helps. Please do contact us on the above email if you have any further questions regarding this. Thank you.

April 16, 2024 09:22Rojal Poudel 问: How can we turn greed into generosity, anger into compassion, and ignorance into wisdom? pastor 已答: Dear Rojal, It's nice to see you back here. The space allocated here is not long enough to give a complete answer to this. All of what you described is actually part of the path towards enlightenment, so it they work together. These are all described in great length in the teachings, such as the Lamrim, as there are different steps or methods to use to achieve that. You can study the Lamrim teachings, which are excellent for what you described, coupled with deity practice. The following video teaching may also be of interest to you: SNAKES, ROOSTERS & PIGS (Part 1) https://youtu.be/Vri5m_Vu5c0?si=e9Yh_ouE3oS234-j SNAKES, ROOSTERS & PIGS (Part 2) https://youtu.be/niu2AcXeGZg?si=ZBX_MbITSkybi6YQ SNAKES, ROOSTERS & PIGS (Part 3) https://youtu.be/QWCKtlF4Upw?si=Ik8dcRJ_HfDmukSd Thank you.

April 15, 2024 12:11Jason 问: The basic description of a boddhisatva I’ve read is “a person who is able to reach nirvana but delays doing so out of compassion in order to save suffering beings”. This doesn’t quite make sense to me since if they reach nirvana, they should have even greater capacity to help others so it doesn’t make sense to delay their enlightenment. I was wondering if the pastors could clarify on this issue. pastor 已答: Dear Jason, Thank you for your question. The path of a Bodhisattva, is actually quite vast, and the description you've seen is a simplification. The path of the Bodhisattva is explained is many different texts, for example it is explained in the higher scope teachings of the Lamrim, the Sutra of the Ten Bhumis, the Bodhisattvabhumis, etc. I'll try to give a simple overview here. The very basis of the Bodhisattva path is what is called 'bodhichitta.' This is the motivation or mindset of achieving enlightenment so that you can bring all other sentient beings to the state of enlightenment. In other traditions, the goal of attaining enlightenment is for oneself alone. In the Bodhisattva path, which belongs to the Mahayana vehicle, the goal to achieve enlightenment is not for ourselves but for the sake of others. Once, you have generated this mindset, you are a Bodhisattva. But there are differing levels of Bodhisattvas. There are ten levels, known as the ten grounds, of a Bodhisattva. So you progress in your Dharma practice of benefiting others and improving yourself for the sake of others, along these ten levels. Once you reach the 10th level, you are essentially enlightened, but you remain in the form of a bodhisattva rather than leaving your body and entering full enlightenment. The reason for this, is your motivation is not just for yourself but all other sentient beings who are still suffering. When you achieve nirvana, you are in a state of bliss. Since you are in that state, you can remain there for a very long time without helping sentient beings. Hence Bodhisattvas remain to help all sentient beings instead of staying in that blissful state, due to their motivation for all senient beings to achieve that state of bliss themselves. I hope that this helps to answer your question. If not, you can refer to the teachings I mentioned at the begining. Though not directly related to your question, you might find this short video teaching by Tsem Rinpoche interesting: Why Bodhisattvas Are Like Peacocks https://youtu.be/OHXULhL-UHo?si=FG80TpQACuYhbsCm

April 14, 2024 13:11Kams 问: If a part of Buddhism is accepting reality as it is, rather than how we want it to be, I find it contradictory because human nature is innately selfish and basically "survival of the fittest" and all that. Of course, Humans have evolved to be intelligent and aware. But doesn't that make living by a code of ethical conduct denying our animalistic nature? thus denying the reality of the selfish human nature? I am simply curious about this and would like an answer. Thanks! pastor 已答: Dear Kams, Nice to see you here, you've asked a very interesting question. In Buddhism, when we talk about accepting reality as it is, this is in a very specific way, and usually not the way we think of when we read or hear the phrase 'accepting reality.' Accepting reality here means not thinking about things as inherently existing. When we think about existence in this manner, it is not correct, because nothing in existence is static, it is ever moving, ever changing. To use a very common Buddhist term, it is impermenant. From the Buddhist perspective the understanding and living by impermenance is very important. I'll give a an example of this. In life, we go through ups and downs, times we are happy and times we are sad. And sometimes, this can be an emotion upheveal. When we experience happy times, we want them to last, we want to always feel that way, so when things go wrong, or not how we want them to be, we get upset. But if we live by impermanence during those happy times, we cherish them more, we live in the moment of being happy rather than wanting it to last. Similarly, when things go wrong, we know that eventually things will get better, because even sadness and all the negative experiences we have in life are impermanent. So 'accepting reality' is a very broad definition, but in Buddhism, it's actually very specific to certain things. But your question touches on a very important point, and that is what you call our 'selish nature.' In Buddhism, this selfishness comes from karma and delusions. It's the way we naturally operate as humans. But as humans, or any type of being bound by the law of karma within samsara (existence) we create more negative karma and delusions. This only leads us to have this type of nature in future lives as humans, or leads us to suffer in lower rebirths such as the animal or hell realms, or leads us to have pleasures in the god realm. However, no matter what happens, we are still stuck because samsara is a cycle fueled by karma and delusions. The goal of Buddhists is to transcend/escape this system altogether. We won't be bound by such selfish natures any more and since we are not bound by that, we are free from all types of suffering that occur within existence. Suffering itself is a very big part of the Buddhist teachings. In fact it was the first thing that the Buddha ever taught. But this was not done to make us depressed. It was done to make wake up to our current state within existence and then do something about it. Here are some video teachings by Tsem Rinpoche that may explain things better: Karma's Job is to Make You Suffer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycNTf-W1mLA How Wrong Projections Bring Us Suffering (with subtitles) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vICsghJhjqU The Cycle of Wrong Perception & Wrong Experience https://youtu.be/EXyhGaXBtK8?si=KktuiuZLd7y4SST4 Karma & Impermanence https://youtu.be/sL5qn54rPlM?si=0-DwTs-QzKDxA_BX Hope all this helps to answer your question.

April 13, 2024 03:23Lee 问: Hello Pastors! I have a questions about one situations: I knew life is impermanent but I have saw some situations that please, help me to clear the doubts. An younger girl has been long time prayers to lord Dorje Shugden but one days, she got an severe cancer but she still strongly devote to lord Shugden. But in the end that she still die in young age. How we should look at the situations like this dear Pastors? Does lord Shugden not help us to find a way or atleast, good doctors or good medicine to help us? Thanks. pastor 已答: Dear Lee, Thank you for your question. I'm very sorry to read about this situation. It truly is very saddening whenever someone so young passes away. When things like this happen, as Buddhists we need to remember the teachings of the Buddha, not just impermanence. The main one to remember here is karma and rebirth. We were attached to people who have passed away, because we knew them very well in this life. But this is not the only life that the person has had, nor the only life they will have. When we are born, what experiences we go through in life, and ultimately when we pass on is all due to our karma and their consequences. Daily sadhana practice and devotion is good on a general level, but when the conditions for certain karma to arise occurs, we are faced with very difficult situations due to the arising of karma. If we have had the time and effort to practice deeply, such conditions will not arise but for most people, they will. This is part of samsara and the reason we need to get out of samsara by becoming enlightened. When such conditions arise, we need extra help to overcome these situations than just our faith and daily practice. That is where other practices come into play, such as pujas, offerings, life-extending practices such as animal liberation, etc. Because the ripening of that karma is strong, we need a stronger method to overcome it than just daily practice. When we are going through such situations, it is best to consult those who can advise on what to do. In our organisation here are the contact details: https://www.kechara.com/contact/ Dorje Shugden and other practices can definitely help with these sorts of things, but it depends on our effort. Since the karma is so strong, it takes effort to help overcome that karma. If we put in that effort by making more prayers, more offerings, doing pujas or other practices, then yes, Dorje Shugden is able to use the merit from those practices and to help us find good doctors, good treatments and make the treatments more effective than they would have been otherwise. Unfortunately, sometimes that karma is too strong for a person to be ill or to pass away. In those cases, even though the person has passed, their faith, devotion and practice is still beneficial. Why? Because there are future lives. We only experience the loss of a person in this life, but we should think about their future lives also. That is a reason that prayers, pujas and other activities is so much stressed in Buddhism when a person passes on. They are to help that person in their next lives, as an extension of our love and care for them in this life. In the case of the young girl who passed away, her prayers and faith will not go unanswered in the long term, for her next lives, but unfortunately the ripening of her negative karma was too strong in this life. Dorje Shugden and the Buddhas will definitely take care of her and benefit her in her future lives, all the way until she becomes enlightened. Here is something that you can do to help the young girl for her future lives: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/something-simple-for-the-deceased.html Impermanence, karma, rebirth, etc has all been explained by the Buddha and is in scripture, like the Lamrim. When we understand the Lamrim better, we are able to help our loved ones better not just in this life, but for their future lives too. I really hope this helps you. I will keep the young girl in my prayers as well.

April 12, 2024 19:13Lo 问: Does chanting mantras affect our energy bodies? For example, Could chanting the Medicine Buddha mantra be sending a sort of healing/alleviating effect to our energy channels and in that way, replicating the healing in our physical bodies? pastor 已答: Dear Lo, Nice to see you back here. Yes, chanting mantra definitely effects our energy bodies. Mantras themselves are the form of the Buddhas in sound vibrations. Chanting mantras helps to affect energetical changes within our body for a particular purpose. Each mantra of a deity has a particular benefit that we receive when chanting. For example, Medicine Buddha is healing & long life. Manjushri is wisdom and intelligence. However, these are just the immediate benefits from their practice. But each deity practice is capable of leading us all the way to enlightenment. As we recite mantras, the vibrations or energy of that particular mantra pervades our energy body, effecting a change associated with that particular mantra. Here are some tips on how to chant mantras correctly: https://www.kechara.com/chanting-mantras-correctly/ Here is a fantastic teachings on mantras by Tsem Rinpoche: https://www.kechara.com/chanting-mantras-correctly/ Of course, just simply reciting mantras has an effect, but if you engage in mantra recitation with focus and as part of the practice of that particular deity, the benefits are definitely much stronger. I hope this helps. Thank you

April 11, 2024 20:37Lo 问: if the earth were to not exist, would the "human realm" and "animal realm" be completely eliminated from the wheel of samsara? pastor 已答: Dear Lo, Thank you for your very interesting question. If the earth stopped existing, the human realm and animal realm would not be completed eliminated from samsara. This is because we are only talking about one planet called earth. According to Buddhism there are many, many more planets or what are called "World Systems" in the universe, not just our planet earth. Buddhist cosmology extends far beyond just our planet. The six realms then, cover all sentient beings in existence, this include life on other planets, and therefore covers what we might call 'alien' life forms that are not of our planet. So on other planets, you have physical beings, just like us. They fall into either the human or animal realms as well. They may not physically look like us, but their experiences and the sufferings they have are the same as those of the human and animal realms. For example, we feel physical pain and pleasure, those on other planets who fall under the human realm category would feel physical pain and pleasure too. Same with emotions, levels of intellect between the human realm and animal realm, etc. An example of different world systems is the story of the Buddha Tara. It is well known that she achieved enlightenment, not on our planet earth but on another world system. Another example, highlighting this is the Sutra Dispelling Darkness in the Ten Directions, which you can find here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/prayers-and-sadhanas/sadhana-prayers.html#chokchu This sutra is commonly recited to dispell obstacles related to travelling and safety while travelling. It references quite a few world systems and the enlightened beings who have manifested there. The only way that the human and animal realms would be eliminated from samsara, is not that a single planet would cease to exist, but that all sentient beings become enlightened. That is why the enlightenment of all sentient beings is the aim of the Mahayana tradition, to which Tibetan Buddhism belongs. I hope all of this answers your question.

April 10, 2024 20:53Lisa 问: Hello Pastors: I will visit Thailand soon and I knew that Thai People that they are very devoted to Buddha but beside of this, they also worship many many gods. I have one questions about one famous site in Thailand called Erawan Chapel: They worship Four-faced Bhrama called Phra Phrom and how do you think about this God? Is he mundane or supramundane Dharmapala? Is it safe to make a prayer or a wish infront of Him? I have been practice and prayer to Lord Dorje Shugden for long time and sure that, I don't know any prayer to Phra Phrom or any deities outside Gelug Traditions. So, can I use a pray to lord Tsongkhapa and a pray to lord Shugden infront of Phra Phrom? Thank you so much. pastor 已答: Dear Lisa, Thank you for your question. Within Buddhism, one of the tenets of the faith is to only take refuge in those beings who are enlightened. As I am sure you are already aware, the god realm is one of the six realms of samsara, and sentient beings are born within these realms endlessly until and unless they become enlightened. As you mentioned Phra Phrom is Four-Faced Brahma, who is a god. He is neither a mundane or supremundane Dharmapala. There may be others gods with the same name as Brahma, but Four-Faced Brahma/Phra Phrom is a worldly god. However, he is a very high-level god who is very much respected, but not prayed to in the sense of going to him for Refuge. While this particular shrine is very famous as it is said he grants wishes, petitioners who go to him must promise to fulfil certain offerings, etc., if their prayers are fulfilled. If their wishes are fulfilled and the promised offerings not made on time, it is also well-known that they will be struck with misforunte because he has become angry at them. This shows, he is a worldly god, still in samsara although very high-level and very powerful. The enlightened beings on the other hand, do not get any with practitioners, because they have no anger. However, given this, of course you can still visit the shrine. You can even make the traditional offerings that are available there, such as flowers, fruits, etc. This is not the same as making offerings to the enlightened beings, nor does it generate merit. It is more like giving a gift to someone you respect. You are basically paying respect to him. If you are strong in your Buddhist practice, when there you would not ask him for anything, make any wishes, etc. You are simply giving him offerings as a mark of respect. When there, you can pray to Lama Tsongkhapa, Dorje Shugden, whichever enlightened being you like, but you are not praying to Four-Faced Brahma, but reciting the prayers of the enlightened beings. This will help bless the shrine itself with the energies of the enlightened beings, as well as yourself, just like reciting prayers to the Buddhas would naturally bless you and environment when recited normally. I hope this answer helps.

April 9, 2024 13:37Lee 问: Hello Pastors! I have questions about: For some circumstance due to images of Lord Setrap too wrathful for few person and they not used to this images yet. Could we share the images of lord Tshangpa Karpo for this kind of person to worship and practice with reciting lord Setrap's mantra daily? Is it ok? As i knew lord Tsangpa is peaceful form of lord Setrap. Therefore, we could see lord Tshangpa same as lord Setrap, couldn't we? Thank you so much. pastor 已答: Dear Lee, Thank you for your question. Yes, you are correct that Tsangpa Karpo is the peaceful form of Lord Setrap. However, the form, the nature of the practice, the mantra, etc is different. While it is not wrong for a person to have Tsangpa Karpo on their altar and recite Setrap's mantra and/or prayers. It wouldn't be as effective as having the actual image of Setrap on the altar and engaing in the practice. Traditionally, if you are engaging in the practice, you would have an image of that deity on the altar. While all the enlightened beings, whether in their meditational deity form or protector forms are all one and the same, the practice and the nature of the practice differs. So it's better to have an image of the actually deity/protector that you are practising on your altar, to 1) create merit in relation to making offerings to that deity or protector and 2) to act as a focal point for your practice. Traditionally, for Dharma protectors, the images were covered when placed on the altar, one reason being that they are wrathful and not everyone is used to that. So perhaps you can give them an image that is covered. Alternatively, if Setrap's form or mantra is too wrathful for them, perhaps a more peace deity that has similar protective qualities would be better for them. Such deities include Lama Tsongkhapa or even Green Tara. These are meditational deities rather than Dharma protectors, but they can have the same protective qualities as a Dharma protector when practiced well. But obviously this would depend on why that person was practicing Setrap in the first place. I hope this helps. If you would like more private advice regarding this, you can email us at care@kechara.com, referencing this question and our reply. Hope this helps. Thank you.

April 8, 2024 11:17Jay 问: What are the requirements, prerequisites, commitments and vows for Hayagriva practice? I recieved Hayagriva Empowerment from my root guru but he’s been slow to tell me what all the vows, commitments, prerequisites and requirements for the practice? You all have such detailed and specific answers for Dorje Shudgen, Yamantaka and Vajrayogini; I was wondering what if there was a unique or different answer for Hayagriva; Thank you pastor 已答: Dear Jay, Thank you for your question. As you have received empowerment into this incredibly powerful practice and therefore have a guru-disciple connection with your root guru, you should make offerings and request him/her to explain more about the vows, commitments, etc. This would be best. Sometimes, gurus adapt the commitments to suit the students, give the empowerment as a blessing without commitments, etc. So, we cannot comment on the exact vows, commitments, prerequisites and requirements as this will depend on the guru who gave you the empowerment. That being said, there are also many different practices of Hayagriva, according to various lineages and even with the lineages there are versions of the practice belonging to the lower tantra classification and the higher tantra classification, so the vows and commitments, etc., also differ according to type of tantra. In general for the requirements and prerequisites you can follow the general information on the following articles, minus those that refer to Vajra Yogini's practice specifically: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/inspiration-worthy-words/starting-on-vajra-yogini-now.html https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/vajrayogini-the-powerful-divine-red-lady.html These are generally having strong guru devotion, and (if you are from the Gelug tradition) study and practice of the Lamrim & other teachings. If you are from another lineage, the teachings may be different. You will also need to have completed some of the Ngondro practices or Preliminary Practices which are extended retreats. But again, all of this would depend on the guru who gave you the empowerment. If the empowerment you received is a lower tantra type of Hayagriva empowerment, then you would need to keep your refuge and bodhisattva vows as they would have been given as part of the empowerment. If the empowerment you received is a higher tantra type, then you would need to hold tantric vows in addition to the refuge and bodhisattva vows. You can read more about the vows here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/students-friends/vows-the-roots-of-all-attainments.html While we do have all of this information available on this website, it is better to request your guru to give you teachings on what the commitments are, if any, of the empowerment you received. You should take the information here as a basis to educate yourself on what they are, but in terms of practice, this is something that only your guru who gave you the empowerment can tell you. I hope this helps you a little.

April 7, 2024 22:03Heath Van Fossan 问: This 'ask a Kechara pastor' section is such a blessing for Tsem Rinpoche's students worldwide! I don't have the karma to have been born in a place where I can have access to Sangha or realized teachers. On the other hand, I was born in the United States and have the freedom to practice without persecution and I have access to the Internet, so I guess my karma isn't that bad either! My question is in regards to the Panglung Oracle's Losar advice or message for 2024; I can't seem to find it anywhere on line. Did he go under trance this year, and if so, could you please direct me to a place I can find it? I'd greatly appreciate it! 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you! pastor 已答: Dear Heath Van Fossan, Thank you so much. Your message means a lot to us. We try our best to help whoever is interested in learning the Dharma. This website was one of Tsem Rinpoche's most important Dharma works, it has taken and still takes an entire team of Rinpoche's dedicated students to keep going. When we receive messages like yours, it makes everything worth it. We are happy to hear that we have been of service. Regarding Losar advice for 2024 from Dorje Shugden through the Panglung Oracle, the oracle did not take trance this year as far as I am aware, so no advice was given for 2024. Thank you

April 5, 2024 04:26Lee 问: Hello dear Pastors! I have read about one post mention about self-divination by Mala. I would like to ask about that could we use this divination method for certain urgent situations without a Lama or Rinpoche nearby? Instead, I used Manjushri mantra that can i used Dorje Shugden mantra for this divination? Thank you so much. The post is under here: SELF DIVINATION (Try this) Must have faith. Here is the fast divination technique using a mala. First visualize the deity Jampelyang (Manjushri) and pray Gangi Lodey which you all know since it is the most common prayer recited daily in the schools. Then Recite 100 mantra "oṃ a ra pa ca na dhīḥ". Hold the mala in your lap, and with each hand grasp a bead at random. Now pull three beads each, moving the hands toward each other, until one, two, or three beads remain. Note the left over beads. Please do this three times. So the result are as under: One remaining bead is called Falcon. If you have a Falcon on your first round, it indicates support from protectors, luck in new endeavors, and success in lawsuits. If you have a Falcon on the second round, this indicates general good luck, with small risk of misfortune. If you have a Falcon on the third round indicates expected guests will arrive imminently, or you will have news of them. Two beads remaining is called Raven. A Raven on the first round means little support from the protectors, nothing can be accomplished, lawsuits will be unsuccessful, and enemies have the upper hand. A Raven on the second round indicates serious illness and a decline in force. Things will be lost or stolen. A Raven on the third round indicates bad luck for travelers, and sicknesses will not be cured. Three beads remaining is called Snow Lion. A Snow Lion on the first round indicates middling support from the protectors, slow accomplishment, and weak enemies. This is generally a neutral result. A Snow Lion on the second round indicates dangers to health that could nevertheless be resolved. Things lost or stolen can be found. A Snow Lion on the third round indicates late arrival for travellers, and some difficulty finding the right treatment for illness. Further, you can also use similar technique to see your other concerns.. Phub Dorji Wang Thanks and goodnight. pastor 已答: Dear Lee, Thank you for your question and nice to see you here. While the actual divination texts/manuals are publicly available these days, engaging in divination entails quite a lot than just simply doing prayers. There are long procedures of training involved including retreats, etc, in order for a practitioner to make a connection with the deity and to qualify to actual perform divinations. While the text and manuals are available, engaging in them without the proper qualifications can be dangerous. Among other things, the answers received won't be accurate, because the practitioner doesn't actually have a strong connection with the deity. It's too much to explain in this short space. But you can read an article regarding Dorje Shugden divination here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/dorje-shugdens-dice-divination.html The same procedures and training apply to all forms of Tibetan Buddhist Divination. I hope this helps.

April 2, 2024 05:45Rojal Poudel 问: What are some ways we can purify negative karma and accumulate tons of merit? pastor 已答: Dear Rojal, All Buddhist practices necessarily involved the purification of karma and the generation of merit. So any Dharma practices you do, whether formal practice like sadhana, meditation, etc. or informal practice such as transforming your mind in daily life, etc, all generate merit and purify negative karma. The best of all of these is transformation of the mind and spiritual growth. There are however, many practices that focus on either purification of karma and generation of merit. To have a better idea of the context of this, you can read this article: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/how-to-purify-your-karma-in-kechara-forest-retreat.html In addition, in relation to purification of negative karma, these articles are indespensible: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/vajrasattva-and-prostrations-transcript.html https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/prayers-and-sadhanas/an-important-purification-practice.html https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/the-35-confessional-buddhas.html We hope this helps. Thank you.

Dear RJ,
I don’t believe so. It is more important to understand why you want to carry it. If you are carrying a Lama tsongkhapa tsa tsa and you behave in a way opposite to the virtuous qualities such as compassion and wisdom that he represents , that would be disrespectful !
