மலேசியாவில் வசிப்பதற்கு நான் அதிர்ஷ்டம் செய்திருக்க வேண்டும்.மேலும், மலேசியா என் வசிப்பிடம் என சொல்லிக் கொள்வதில் நான் பெருமை படுகின்றேன். நான் நானாக இருப்பதற்கும், என்னுடைய குறிக்கோளை தொடர்வதற்கும், அன்புள்ளம் கொண்ட மக்களை சந்திப்பதற்கும் மலேசிய திருநாடு வழிவகுத்துள்ளது. பல ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்னர், காடேன் ஷார்சே மடத்தைத் சேர்ந்த என்னுடைய ஆசிரியர்களுள் ஒருவரான கியாம்ஜே லாத்தி ரின்போச்சே அவர்களும், என்னுடைய பாதுகாவலரும் என்னை இங்கே இருக்கும்படி கேட்டுக்கொண்டனர். அந்த தருணத்தில், எனக்கு அது ஏன் என்று...

Dear friends, As my readers will know, I have a soft spot for animals, especially dogs. I have previously written about how dogs have human-like traits and they have feelings too, like loss, happiness and depression. If you watch the touching video below, you will probably agree that this dog definitely possesses the traits...

Hair is predominantly made up of Dead Cells. As new cells die inside our scalp, they are pushed to the end of the hair follicle and emerge as a compressed matter called Keratin. Tiny blood vessels at the base of every follicle feed the hair root to keep it growing. But once the hair is at the skin’s surface,...

சென்ரெட்ஸிக் (திபெத்தில்) அல்லது குவான் யின், புத்த மதத்தில் எடுத்த அனைத்து அவதாரங்களையும் எனக்கு மிகவும் பிடிக்கும். எனது சிறுப்பிராயத்தில், நான் கருணை வேண்டி தியானம் இருந்ததோடு, நிறைய மந்திரங்களை ஓதுவேன். சென்ரெட்ஸிக், நான் வணங்கி வழிபட்ட புத்தர்களில் ஒருவர் என்பதை என்னால் ஒருமனதுடன் கூற முடியும். நான் மலேசியாவிற்கு வருவதற்கு முன்பு, எனக்கு சீன வடிவம் கொண்ட குவான் யின் மீது எப்பொழுதும் ஓர் ஈர்ப்பு இருந்தது. நான் அமெரிக்காவில் வசித்த பொழுது, குவான்...

நான் கடந்த 20 ஆண்டுகளாக மலேசிய நாட்டில் வாழ்ந்து வருகின்றேன். என்னுடைய இந்த காலகட்டத்தில், நான் மலேசிய நாட்டில் உள்ள அனைத்து பாரம்பரியங்கள் மற்றும் கலாச்சாரங்கள் மீதும் மிகுந்த மரியாதையும் புரிந்துணர்வையும் செலுத்தி வந்துள்ளேன். இந்த புரிதலே, என்னை மலேசிய நாட்டினைப் பற்றி மேலும் எழுதுவதற்கு தூண்டுகோளாக அமைந்துள்ளது. இந்திய மக்கள், பிரிட்டிஷ் காலனித்துவத்திற்கு முன்பாகவே தங்களின் வர்த்தக தொடர்புகளை விரிவுபடுத்தவும் மற்றும் செல்வாக்கையும் நம்பிக்கைகளையும் பரப்பவும் இந்த பிரதேசத்திற்கு குடியேறினர். பிரிட்டிஷ் தனது காலனித்துவத்தைத்...

(By Tsem Rinpoche and Pastor Adeline) Introduction The Buddhist monk Bodhidharma (5th – 6th century, Simple Chinese: 菩提达摩 or 菩提達磨) was a student of Prajnatara of India, the 27th patriarch in a transmission of Buddhist teachings. As such he is considered to be the 28th patriarch in an uninterrupted lineage of great masters that extends back all the way to Buddha Shakyamuni himself. Since Bodhidharma is credited with transmitting these teachings in China, he is regarded as the first Chinese patriarch of what would become Chan Buddhism. Bodh...

H.H. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche Explains Dorje Shugden Initiation and Benefits (With English Subtitles)
Dear everyone... This is a good condensed talk I gave on Guru Yoga of Tsongkapa. This is the one you should share with others when they are interested in a not too lengthy explanation. It is the perfect practice for everyone who wants simplicity yet effective blessings. You can share this with more people, it will be good.
~ Tsem Rinpoche
Powerful Dorje Shugden's mantras
Tsem Rinpoche on National TV's Wesak Day Documentary
'The Promise' book launch featured on NTV7 Primetime
"If you say you don't have money to help a animal shelter, why then do you have money to buy meat?"
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Eating animals is not our God-given right, but being kind to them is."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"What makes us good humans is not how we abuse animals, but how much we allow them to live and be happy freely."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"We need another and wiser and perhaps a more mythical concept of animals.... We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complex than ours they moved finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."
~ Henry Beston, The Outermost House
"Not eating animals is only unnatural when we are not used to it."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"We may encounter defeat, but we must not be defeated."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"What you are today, is the choice you made yesterday."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"You think you can choose your life? What an ego trip!"
~ Lama Yeshe
"If TODAY you are dissatisfied, you must make the changes to create different results for TOMORROW."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
“Meditating on Dorje Shugden while reciting his mantra will open the gateways to higher dimensions, blessings and protection.”
~ Tsem Rinpoche
“If one does the recitation of the Lama Tsongkhapa guru yoga prayer for even one month using one of the visualizations for great or clear or quick wisdom, one will definitely see development of that wisdom. It is proved by experience. There is no doubt that by doing the Lama Tsongkhapa guru yoga practice one can meet Lama Tsongkhapa’s teachings from life to life. And furthermore, it gives one the opportunity to be born in the pure realm of Lama Tsongkhapa, Tushita, whenever death happens.”
~ Pabongkha Rinpoche
"I was 18 years old in 1983. That was a very special year as I met His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche and received innumerable precious teachings and empowerments from Him at Thubten Dhargye Ling Centre in Los Angeles, California. It was the best time of my life. A time that seems so magical and surreal to me. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche is Heruka Buddha and I met Heruka."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"If being me offends you, maybe I'm not the problem."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Never abandon your spiritual teacher no matter how many inner obstacles you need to overcome."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Actions to force something to be permanent makes all the karmas arise."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"The dharma is not easy to listen to… because some people take it as criticism. But Dharma should not be just feel good only for the moment but for deeper contemplations."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Whether we do work and suffer but for others or we do work and suffer for ourselves, either way we have to suffer. That is the nature of samsara. So let us suffer for others and then suffering has meaning."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Those who really want the dharma to grow within themselves and to grow for others should never fear hard work, timing, difficulties, struggles, disappointments because it is for a good cause. Working for Dharma is not a prison or work, but it is purely spiritual practice. It is purely collection of merit and purification. Actually not doing dharma work is the real prison."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"His Holiness Zong Rinpoche stressed the need to continue to practice even when we come up against obstacles, and that we should continually review our progress. He stated that a happy, luxurious life was like a good dream, and that obstacles and difficulties were like a bad dream. We should give them no significance, but simply carry on working towards real, everlasting happiness."
~ Ngala ’ö-Dzin Tridral
"Things in samsara always go wrong. That's its nature. Don't be surprised."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Knowledge never quenches the thirst, only application."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"I pity men who occupy themselves exclusively with the transitory in things and lose themselves in the study of what is perishable, since we are here for this very end-that we may make the perishable imperishable, which we can do only after we have learned how to approach both."
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Money amplifies negative characteristics and that can cause problems. To walk away from that was actually very easy. I didn't even consider it."
~ Angeline Francis Khoo
"I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud."
~ Carl Jung
"There is a devil there is no doubt, but is he trying to get into us or trying to get out?"
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"If you love someone, show it by being honest, respectful & honorable with them."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."
~ Henry David Thoreau
"If I can just be the way I am & you the way you are & we accept each other, world peace is near."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"I am Asian, you are some other beautiful color. Together we make diversity so beautiful."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"It's amazing how some people have never met me or know who I am, but based on a few things they read here & there & rumours, they have formulated a new personality for me & all the things I've never done they passionately speak about....I find it funny and entertaining now. I guess we can't spend our lives fighting rumours...we just have to work hard & then rumours get proven wrong on it's own as a by product. No point explaining repeatedly. Just do our work & show results!!"
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"There's a difference between patience and laziness. Patience comes from respect while laziness from disrespect of others."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Although outwardly we have so much, we have so many conveniences, inwardly we have become more unhappy, so, acquisition is not the secret to happiness. The more we get, the more we have, the more unhappy we become."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Before we experience any pain, we already had a fixed view of how things should be. When the experience we encounter contradicts our views, then the pain arises. The pain arises due to our fixed views not so much the experience itself. So the secret is changing the views. Re-educating ourselves on our views."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"You know since very young, for better or worse, I always did the things that others told me not to do. I wasn't really good at following the rules. Even now with how I share Dharma and my practice, I just do it the way I think it should be done but I do it sincerely. Not what others tell me what I can and can't do."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Love me or hate me, both are in my favor... If you love me, I'll always be in your heart... If you hate me, I'll always be in your mind."
~ William Shakespeare
"One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous or honest."
~ Maya Angelou
