I am of Tibetan-Mongolian ancestry. I was born in Taiwan, grew up in America and joined Gaden Monastery, India in 1988. I now reside in beautiful Malaysia as spiritual advisor to Kechara. Because of my background I have a wide spectrum of interests and decided to share all of this in tsemrinpoche.com. I have many varied posts and hope you will enjoy and perhaps gain some benefits. I humbly welcome you here.
Blogging on TsemRinpoche.com since March 2010.

8 years agoWhat the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. 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

Thank you.
- June 4, 2025 09:36Mishang asked: This year is good for me study in abroad. mewa3 the mirror of ocean fire dog and birth Buddha is vajrasattva.pastor answered: Dear Mishang, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately our online calculator does not go into such specific details. You can read your Mewa number information and check if there is anything about studying there. In general, however, you should think about things from a practical manner. And if you do go abroad for study, make the most use of it and study well. You can also engage in the practice of Dharma Protector such as Dorje Shugden to clear obstacles and create the best conditions for you. If this includes studying abroad and you create the causes for it such as proper planning, etc, then he can help to create the best outcome for you. I hope this helps. Thank you.
- May 27, 2025 10:50Rojal Poudel asked: What practices should one do to experience and stabilize clear light in this lifetime so that one could effortlessly recognize it at the time of death?pastor answered: Dear Rojal, Thank you for your question. Within the Gelug tradition, this is usually done in higher practices: 1. Within Highest Yoga Tantra practices such as Vajra Yogini, Yamantaka, Heruka Chakrasamvara, Guhyasamaja, Kalachakra, etc. For this you will need to have received the complete initiation of the deity, keep the associated vows and commitments and engage in the daily sadhana, etc. It is subsumed within the practices themselves. 2. You can also do it within Mahamudra practice. Within the Gelug tradition, this is also considered a higher practice and usually teachings are only given to those with at least one full Highest Yoga Tantra iniation. I hope this answer helps. Thank you.
- May 22, 2025 09:03Lucy asked: why do insects bite me more than otherspastor answered: Dear Lucy, Anything that happens in life from a Buddhist perspective is due to karma. So it would apply to this situation too. If the situtation is very bad, you can go to consult your doctor, especially if you have allergies. Thank you.
- May 16, 2025 08:46LC (not real name) asked: I have just started to chant the shurangama heart mantra but every time I do I get chills and light headed.... is this a sign that I'm doing something wrong? I do other practice like heruka and guhyasamaja as I have been initiated and with those practice it's all really good but with the shurangama heart mantra there seems to be odd things happening.pastor answered: Dear LC, No it is not a sign that there is something wrong. If it is causing a big issue, then you can stop reciting (as long as you don't have the commitment to recite) or recite less for now. Within your Higher Tantra practices, as you mentioned, focus on the purification elements strongly such as Vajrasattva practice for 1-2 weeks and then try to recite the Shurangama Heart Mantra again. Such feelings when they only happen during certain mantras or prayers, usually indicate some form of negative karma that is effecting you when engaged in that specific practice. So you just need to purify it, using your other practice. After a while it will go away if you have purified enough. If not, repeat concentrating on the purification aspect of your main practices, and then try again. I hope this helps.
- May 15, 2025 04:49Nina asked: Tashi Delek Pastors! I would like to ask about this mantra of Mother Tara: OM NAMA TARE NAME HARE HUM HARA SVAHA. I heart that this mantra come from one practice called " Tara peaceful by day, wrathful by night". Do you have more information about this mantra from this wrathful Tara? I would like to come bine this mantra with the main mantra is Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha. Is it OK la? Thank you so much.pastor answered: Dear Nina, Thank you for your question. This is not a form of Tara that is commonly practised within the Gelug Tradition, hence we cannot provide you with any information regarding the mantra. If you have heard this mantra being taught by a particular guru, you can approach them for more information. Usually within Gelug practice all Tara mantras would start, with OM TARE, rather than OM NAMA TARE. However, the mantra that you have mentioned could be an additional mantra or a longer mantra. In general, we practice Green and White Tara forms and also the 21 Taras stemming from both the Surgyagupta and Atisha lineages. If you are interested in other forms of Tara, we have an article here on Suryagupta's 21 Taras, along with short praises and mantras for each: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/suryaguptas-21-taras.html I hope this helps. Thank you.
- May 14, 2025 06:01Khang asked: Hello Pastors! I have a question: Due to I have not conditions to buy or order a protector string or pendants. Can we do somethings to ask the deities or do any practices to bless for the string or pendant by ourself? Or it has to bless by the Holy Lamas or Protector? Thank you very much pastor answered: Dear Khang, Thanks for your questions. If you have a pendant, you can bless it yourself through the process to bless images yourself: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/prayers-and-sadhanas/how-to-bless-buddha-images-yourself.html As for blessing strings, Protector Strings are always blessed by the Protector in trance of an oracle. There is no other way for this. Other types of blessing strings are blessed in different ways. Hence in order to get a blessing string, it is best to get them from a temple where they have been blessed properly. I hope this helps. Thank you.
