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

- November 1, 2025 12:59Khokon Dewan asked: I am 38 years old, walking through a phase of life where I’m still searching for financial stability and a sense of inner balance. As my parents grow older, I feel the sacred duty to care for them while also learning how to care for myself. I’ve experienced a few relationships that didn’t last and continue to face challenges in my present one — each teaching me something about love, patience, and self-awareness. At this stage, I wish to understand how to rise above these obstacles with grace and clarity. I’m open to any spiritual guidance or practical wisdom that can help me move forward with strength, peace, and purpose. Thank you with all my heart.No reply yet

- October 2, 2025 10:10Liu asked: Dear Rinpoche My name is Liu. I unfortunately have been literately attacked and possessed by malevolent spirits due to practicing Buddhist chanting by myself at home without proper guidance and knowledge. The spirits (entities) have physical bodies and entered my skull and hijacked my brain everything since, causing constant headache and mental issues like, paranoia and anxeity. I’ve looked the whole internet up for this kind of issue, even Catholic exorcism but found no explanation until I watched your video “Why spirits like to enter your body”. It well explained their intention is to “borrow my body to experience human life”, like taste food, listen to music. However they are causing all kinds of trouble in my life and I want them to leave. So may I ask some advice on how to help myself? Regardspastor answered: Dear Liu, We are very sorry to read that this has been happening. There are many methods in Tibetan Buddhism to help deal with such situations. However, according to what you have written, the practice of Trakze will be extremely beneficial for you. You can find more information here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/trakze-to-dispel-black-magic-spirits.html The article and resources cover everything you need to engage in the practice at home. You should aim for at least 1 mala of Trakze mantra a day, with an altar and offerings according to your means. If you should require any further assistance or would like to sponsors pujas to help the situation as well. Please contact us directly: https://www.kechara.com/contact/ I hope this helps.
- September 27, 2025 03:13Carolina Pandolfi asked: Hi, My name is Carolina Pandolfi and I'm from são paulo, brazil. Is there buddhist centers here in my country? I know djampel pawo buddhust center and Lana Michel's buddhist center, are there mire, please? Thank you very much, pastor answered: Dear Carolina Pandolfi, We would recommend Lama Michel's Buddhist Centre as we are of the same lineage. However, you can trying to search the internet for others, I'm sure there are more. Thank you.
- September 22, 2025 00:23Jason asked: I respectful ask. Why do we offer pearls, drums, and conch horns when these most certainly came from harming/ killing living beings. I ask this as Im concerned about my bodhisattva vow/ and pratimoksha vow. If we offer these things it would be like approving of the harm pastor answered: Dear Jason, Offering such things do not break or contravene either your bodhisattva vows or your pratimoksha vows. It is not approving of harm at all. If it was then the lamas and practitioners of all traditions would not be making them as offerings and they would all have broken their vows. This is not possible, otherwise there would be no Buddhist path to practice any more. All traditions of Buddhism offer something along these lines. For example, in the Theravada traditions conch shells are offered and also horns are offered. You can see them quite clearly at the main Theravada temples throughout the world. In the Tibetan traditions, pearls are offered, etc. You are not directly involved in any harm, hence it does not counter your vows. If however, you want to go one step further than the vows in how you uphold the principle of non-harm, then you can use synthetic versons. Or offer something else completely. For example, I know some people who are vegan, so they don't use any items from animals at all. But this is more of a personal choice than anything to do with upholding your vows. One of the reasons why conch shells are offered is because they represent the offering of sound. If you are not comfortable with offering conch shells, then you can offer something else that represents sound, for example a musica instrument or a representation of a musical instrument. Traditionally pearls were offered because they were extremely vaulable, and at the same time pracitioners prayed for the oysters from which they came, so they were blessed. As long as that pearl was part of an offering, merit was also generated for the sentient being from which it came, so they can benefit wherever they are. I hope these explanations help. You can adjust your offerings, that is not a problem, because offerings are made from the heart. If your heart is not comfortable with the traditional offerings, change the offerings to suit yourself but in keeping with the reasons why such offerings are made and in line with Buddhist principles.
- September 13, 2025 06:11Karen W asked: I'm choosing a new name for myself. I have Life Path 3 and I'm nearly 53 years old. Can you tell me which other numbers will lead to the happiest experience (love, community, legacy) with this LP? Thank youpastor answered: Dear Karen W, Since you are a LIfe Path 3, you can check your compatibility with other Life Path numbers here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/numerology/life-path-3-compatibility.html We hope this helps.
- September 8, 2025 00:49Jay asked: Hello I recently took the 5 deity Chakrasamvara initiation and got the lung at a large empowerment ceremony; I have finished my preliminaries and my studies and am looking for the long sadhana but I can only find the middle and short ones. Tsem Rinpoche recommended that people do the long sadhana if they can and so I was wondering if you all would allow me to have access to itpastor answered: Dear Jay, Thanks for your question. For this, you should actually contact the lama or the organisers of the empowerment ceremony that you attend. They would be able to provide you with the correct long sadhana to use. The sadhanas used would depend on the tradition you are practicing and the specific lienage of 5-Deity Chakrasamvara that was passed on. This would actually also apply to the short and medium length sadhanas also. I hope this helps.
- August 24, 2025 13:20Jigme Naksang asked: I’m planning to buy a two wheeler vehicle this year i.e in 2025. But I’m confuse or reluctant to buy because 2025 is a black year, therefore what should I do?pastor answered: Dear Jigme Naksang, When thinking about buying, you can think on a more practical aspect such as affordability, safety, etc, first. This is always the main thing, then if you are confused/reluctant due to the year, you can either always wait until the next year if it's not an urgent thing, or you can engage in the practice of Dharma Protector to keep your protected if you buy and use it. I hope this helps.
