Be aware what doing now will be bring result to our next life.What every habitual we have cause us self cherishing must transform immediately.Just like the dog playing the piano.
I could not find other reason for this, beside a strong imprint from previous life.

There is nothing guarantee that in next life we will born as a human again and won’t born as a dog with good condition like this. Its only depend on our actions of today.Thank you very much for beautiful message.

The Chair

I have one chair I usually sit on to do my sadhana, watch a program, read, write, research and so on. But many times I return from my bathroom, Oser girl has taken over my chair. She gives me this look like, it’s her chair! She’s a spunky little schnauzer. The room has so much space, other sofas and places of interest, but my Oser has to hijack my chair always. I have to gently move her over and squeeze in next to her like I did last night into the same chair. We sat together for hours and she fell asleep in my chair huddled against me. Love is sharing a chair even though it’s meant for one occupant at a time. ? Tsem Rinpoche

Extremely cute….cannot imagine how is like watching it real .Surpresed and happy, that doggie previous life must be a pianist as she enjoyed singing and playing the plano. The doggie is so cute.
This is definitely a strong imprint from previous life .

Wow, proof of previous lives is becoming more and more accessible. It has always existed but many were too afraid to expose it, express it or communicate it. Today, as we become a society of the information age, we have the channel to share this knowledge. Now is to harness the courage to live life by this principal so that we create results that we are proud of from one life to the next.

A great book to read is Many Lives, Many Masters by Dr. Brian Weiss

He sure looks like playing the piano and singing. His paws looks like taping on the piano keys and not just stepping on them. And the howling is like singing along with the tune. Yeah, strong imprints from previous life. Possibly a musician.

Animals also have past lives as do humans. Remembering their past lives is believed to be the same conscious way for them as it is for humans as said in some books. There can in some cases be spontaneous remembrances in their new rebirth. As said in some articles, similar descriptions are said to be in the same pattern of behaviours to what are been shown in the blog, i.e. firstly, looking up the ceiling or wall, with sudden zipping of eyes and head tilting back and darting to begin its howling, wailing and barking noises to the accompaniment of music as what this adorable pooch has done so beautifully. It cerntainly is a strong previous life imprint!!

This is the first time seeing a dog playing a piano and woofing. It is a pity as an animal, the doggy cannot change and learn as well as a human being. The human being is the best form of learning and opening up the mind to learning and growing spiritually.

Very clear that we should not eat meat and animal. Animals are same like us who does not want suffering. Since we do not want it, why create suffering to them and others?

If music and art can be a imprint for next life, then all the prayers and Dharma talk we attended and books that we read will definitely store in our mind stream and be brought to our future life.

Pastor Chia on May 11, 2012 at 7:59 pm

This is the clear example of karma is existing. Not matter what form
we born, previous life karmic imprinted still follow our consciousness to one life to another life.
Be aware what doing now will be bring result to our next life.What every habitual we have cause us self cherishing must transform immediately.Just like the dog playing the piano, negative karma cause to reborn as the animal. wasting another chance at this life to practice become better.

what a nice and interesting video…

Everyone has imprints of previous life, whether you are human or animal, it is the same. from this video, it clearly shows that this dog has a very strong imprints from its previous life, is he a human before? And if reincarnation does exist, where will we be in our next life?

This is very cute.. i could not find other reason for this, beside a strong imprint from previous life..

The way she plays a piano, the movement of body and how she sings. She is still fortunate that even born as a dog but has good karma to have nice owner and stay in nice environment..

There is nothing guarantee that in next life we will born as a human again and won’t born as a dog with good condition like this. Its only depend on our actions of today to accumulate merit and have more good karma than bad karma..

Adorable mumu indeed! Interesting how if a dog plays piano like this everyone is so happy to watch and hear, wonder if it was a human playing and singing like this, would there be an appreciative audience? Heheh

Im sure most of us have come across pets who have very “human” behaviours and character, while other pets behave just like what they are, animals. Is the difference due to training and conditioning, or is it the shadow they brought along from their past lives?

William on May 10, 2012 at 1:31 am

This dog must be a singer in it’s previous life and that is why it likes to sing and play the piano. But in this life, it is kinda out of tune. Hehe. CUTE!
Definitely previous life imprint does exist!

This mumu is very talented. He even lifted up his head to reach the high notes. It must be his strong imprints from previous life when he once was a singer or pianist. What did he do wrong to take rebirth as an animal?

May we create the cause to collect enough merits to be born a human in a conducive environment and be able to receive the dharma.

This cute dog knew what he wanted to do – climbed up to the piano, pawing to play some notes and sing along with its head held up high, like a human singer would do. This video is a reminder to one of the teachings in Lamrim – the animal realm and if we do not practice the dharma that way according to the methods – human may gain rebirth into this realm .. interesting – food for thought

June Kang on May 8, 2012 at 10:20 am

This cute dog is telling us “I am a great pianist at my past life”. Just for you thought, why some people can do something very naturally or learn it very fast, I always think it has to deal with imprint, what do you think?

Wow, this dog is so talent. This is an example for imprints that the memory of past life will bring forward to this life. As the reincarnation of high Lamas, they are already proven that previous life imprints will bring forward to this life also. So every single effort we do in Dharma will not wasted and we should always learn more, do more to benefit more…

Reply
tfreon on May 8, 2012 at 1:36 am

I felt sad after watching this video. This dog might be a human once but some how downfall to become a dog. As a dog its have limitation to even enjoy or listen or play the musical instrument he likes. The “singing” sound to me is like a sad song to me.
I remember in Lamrim, one of the sentences sound like this ” the different between you and an animal is you are still breathing” Its sound really really scary to me. May this life, which i can practice Dharma before too late.

We can see that the pooch are so enjoy of playing the piano. While pressing a piano key, the pooch also come out his own voice, like a musician playing a piano and song. What a wonderful memory. Recall from my memory, from age about 6 to 8 , there are so many bad dreams every night and I will wake up and no stop crying due to this and don’t understand why?

Oh my Goodness so cute! You see a video like this and many would say, “Wah so talented!” and then it is left like that. But there is so much evidence here of previous life and the imprints we have, even animals, that we bring into this life. Ever since understanding karma and imprints, I no longer accept that things in life is just a mere “coincidence”. It is much deeper…

Reply
Carmen Koo on May 7, 2012 at 1:39 pm

Hehe cute! I’m sure if this doggy had a longer tail, you would see it being constantly wagged! The way the doggie throws his/her chin up into the air to howl reminds me of singers on stage who are just about to hit ‘that’ note, and they throw chin up to the air to nail it. 🙂

Agree with strong past live imprints.. otherwise, if it wasn’t then you would see this behaviour in most other dogs that you come across. Why is this only one of the few examples of doggies who would be near interested to play the piano and howl?

Very cute pooch…when she sings and playing piano, definately previous lives and imprints is assisting.

With the above video, no doubt is short but is meaningful. It makes me think one step further…what Rinpoche use to remind all of us, this life we are so fortunate to be born as a human being with beautiful body. If we don’t make use of the body, speech and mind to learn Dharma and benefit others, how to create another course for next and next life to be born again in this condition??

With above pooch is one of the good example, born as animal body how much can I do and contribute?

It’s another wake up massage for me…to let go of my selfishness and comfort zone, time is short now….

Awww, adorable mumu….Yes, like Rinpoche said, it’s talents and liking for music must be from a previous life. Also, Rinpoche had said previously, a child prodigy’s talents for music, academics, etc were brought forth from previous life to the present. How else to explain such a phenomenon especially if the child’s parents were not musicians, academicians, etc?

hahahaha, very cute. Highly possible of her previous life imprint on piano.

She is cute but I felt very sorry for her because she can’t have the proper enjoyment and operate the piano perfectly as a human being. It is just like learning Dharma, we must fully utilize and take advantage of our rebirth in a human form that come with proper body, speech and mind to learn, practice and share Dharma before too late… For instance, although I can have perfect imprint of Buddhism but if I reborn as a cat, what I can do to flourish the imprint? I can only miao.. miao… everyday but I can’t even chant simple mantra.

This video really cheer me up with the cute attack but also is a good reminder for me to be 100% consistent in learning and practicing Dharma every single second in my life.

  Dear Hibberd
  Well, my “bark” may be the softest due to distance but nevertheless, here’s my woof woof for your family to consider.
  
  If this comes from genetics itself, then every little pup in the litter would display the same disposition. If it’s the truth, then this theory can be observed in the human realm that siblings from the same parents would behave or possesses similar talents or habits. Seldom do we see this happening. Thus, genetics records certain biological traits but not beyond that.
  
  In Buddhism, the explanation offered to us is the existence of the mind (which is not the brain – a mass of cells and complex neurons etc) It is this mind that cannot be destroyed and is perhaps something we need to consider which is carried from one life time to the next.

I say: “barking” to enlightenment?
Very cute video indeed, maybe a diva that was mean and unethical, but generous however and helping fellow young talents to succeed in a singing career? How else to get the throwing karma to come back as an animal and the ripening karma to be pampered and even have access to a piano… Just guessing…
Karma is powerful, we make it so. It’s a bit like a fast car of which we have the control but that we still must learn to drive even though we think we know already.

Different religions and faiths have unique teachings ,and thwew is no right or wrong. All have their respective views of divinity, humanity’s relationship with the divine . Many faiths share common principles, like compassion and ethical conduct. All religions in the world teach us empathy, compassion, harmony and respect.
Love peace harmony kindness balance of mind health body and spirit. Respect for all things. That’s true religion. They differ in practices and methods, but they ultimately lead to the same goal.
Thank you Rinpoche interesting topic shared.

He received extensive spiritual training from his father, deepened his studies under the famous scholar Chapa Chokyi Senge. By the time he was eighteen he had mastered the triple discipline of teaching, debate and composition. After his return to Sakya, he held the throne of the monastery for three years. He is the author of a famous commentary on the Bodhicharyavatara. He dedicated the rest of his life to studies and meditation. In 1182 he passed away age 41 into pure land of Sukhavati and said to have attained full Buddhahood.

A very clear explanation of Vajrayogini by Rinpoche . Reading and listening to the video in this blog explains well. Vajrayogini’s power is her ability to guide practitioners to enlightenment by transforming ordinary experiences, desire, and the ego into spiritual paths. Her form symbolizes the transformation of desire and ego into boundless empathy for all beings. Her practice aims to eradicate the ego, a root cause of suffering and attachment. In return which lead to a more vibrant, kind, and compassionate us.
Thank you Rinpoche .

In Buddhism, holy relics are the sacred preserved cremated remains of the Buddha, and other enlightened beings. Holy relics are believed to carry the spiritual qualities, compassion, and wisdom of the enlightened being. And it serve as a powerful tool to connect practitioners with the Buddha’s path to enlightenment. Throughout history, relics have played an important role in major world religions and are considered to hold great spiritual significance. They are revered in Buddhist communities around the world. Sadly to these days only a handful of these sites exist today. These holy relic sites are rare. Many Buddhists make it a point to visit these precious relic sites . Merely by touching, seeing, and even thinking about relics can connect anyone with the spiritual power of the Buddha. Each relic is believed to carry a part of the Buddha’s essence, and worshipping them is seen as a way to connect with the Buddha’s wisdom and compassion. These sacred objects, often including bones, hair, robes, and so on are venerated through offerings and prayers, allowing Buddhists to connect with the Buddha’s wisdom and compassion and accumulate merit. Wow China had many holy sites which housed various relics of Buddha Shakyamuni. Just to mentioned some of these holy sites in Chiana such as Tooth relic at Lingguang Temple, Beijing,Grand True Relic Pagoda at Famen Temple, Shaanxi, Rare skull relic enshrined in Foding Palace, Nanjing and Buddha’s bone relic at Ayuwang Temple, Ningbo. Looking the beautiful relics temple and reading this article is a blessing. More so if we go on pilgrimages to these holy sites.
Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing.

It was through the 6th Panglung Oracle the Dalai Lama had a safe and successful escape from Tibet to India. That’s in 1959, following Dorje Shugden advice and instructions which route to escape. This story in comics form is a great way to let more people know the truth. Senior officials from Monastery eyewitness affidavits signed, they were the monks who travelled together with the Dalai Lama. All these cannot be wrong .A truth and only truth to be shared with.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

Believing that the paranormal can be real, is one way to escape the reality we live in and make it a little more interesting. People sometimes want to believe something more is out there than only a platonic routine life. Not everyone believes in ghosts, but there have been plenty of celebrity ghost sightings over the years. Most scientists deny that ghosts exist, but I do believe ghost rather spirits do exist . Ghosts are ingrained in many cultures, with people rising from the dead or being able to communicate from the beyond. The human fascination for the unexplained plays a big role in this world.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing such an interesting videos. Sound scary. Doing prayers and dedicated to them will be fine as long as we don’t’ get involved with them.

Opening Eye Chenrezigis a Buddhist practice and form of Chenrezig focused on healing physical eye problems and developing wisdom eyes. The practice involves prayers and mantras to develop compassion and it was transmitted by Lama Gangchen Rinpoche . This practice is designed to train one’s mind in making life beneficial for all sentient beings through the yoga of the Compassionate Buddha. Well this practice has been effective for those who sincerely had engaged in reciting the mantra consistently.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing methods to heal the defects, problems, and disturbances to our eyes.

Helmut Gassner, is a senior Buddhist monk from Austria also known as Venerable Gelong Jampa. After meeting Venerable Geshe Rabten Rinpoche back then ,his began to have an interest in Buddhism . Venerable Geshe Rabten Rinpoche had impressed him deeply so much so he began studying Tibetan language, Buddhist philosophy, debate and meditation. Throughout his lifetime, he has translated for many high lamas. He translated for HH the 14th Dalai Lama between 1979 and 1995. Helmut Gassner has recognized and value the knowledge of Dorje Shugden . He noticed the positive qualities, acknowledging Dorje Shugden’s significance, and developing a comprehensive, insightful of it. He even received many first-hand accounts of how Dorje Shugden has been extremely useful to the Dalai Lama. Following the Dalai Lama’s move to ban the practice of Dorje Shugden where discrimination and fights happened. The event didn’t bothered him much as he knew the truth that the practice of Dorje Shugden is an integral part of the Gaden Tradition. In 1999 at the Friedrich-Naumann-Foundation in Hamburg, Germany, he bravely spoke the truth regarding Dorje Shugden. His devotion to his teacher, the dharma and the truth compelled him to speak up . Interesting read.
Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing .

ANIMAL QUOTES

"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

SPIRITUAL QUOTES

“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

LIFE QUOTES

"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

What 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

Liu 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? Regards
pastor 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.

Jason 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.

Jay 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 it
pastor 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.

Jigme 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.

Albert asked: Dear Pastor, 1. I have a 4-year-old toddler. He is not autism, but he is a bit slower in learning and writing compared to his peers. I would like to pray to Manshuri for him. May I know if there is any guidance on how to pray and visualise Manshuri such as release light upon my toddler etc and hopefully help him improve? 2. In today's era, may I know is there any method an ordinary person differentiate whether a guru is from a genuine tradition? If someone later discovers that the guru or tradition is not authentic, what should he or she do in that case? (note: they are various types of newly created 'tibetan' tradition /sect since 21centuries, or some claimed they are a particular Buddisatva emanation or possed any Geshe degree within a few years time etc) ; what should a disciple do if he or she is not agreed to their Guru attitude etc ? ; what is the impact if an ordinary person receive the unauthetic initiation or teaching from a 'fake guru' or 'fake tradition '? 3. May I know if it is acceptable to split the Vajrasattva 100-syllable mantra into several sessions throughout the day in order to complete the minimum of 21 recitations daily? Thank you
pastor answered: Dear Albert. 1. In regards to your son, if you are reciting the prayers and mantras for him, visualise Manjushri on top of his head. As you recite, golden-yellow light emanates from his heart and washes over your son blessing him. At the end of the prayers, Manjushri dissolves into light and this dissolves into your son and blesses him even further. It would be good for you to teach Manjsuhri mantra to your son, so he can recite and encourage him to recite. But don't force him, just encourage. He can help your son with his current learning issues. 2. This is the reason why you need to check your guru is a qualified teacher before you accept them as your guru. You should not just rely on what that teacher tells you, but do your homework and research about that guru properly. For example, if he says he comes from a particular lineage or monastery, check with other lamas of that tradition or monastery. Sometimes there are people out there who claim to be teachers, but whose tradition/lineage is made up. Then when you research further, you will discover it's not a genuine lineage/practice. For those people who have received practices from such teachers, as long as they haven't been engaging in meditations that are higher in nature, such as tantric practices that move the energies in your body, etc. they should be okay. They should try to find a qualified guru to take as their teacher, explain to them the previous situation and if they have any specific advice, etc. 3. For the 21 Vajrasattva mantras a day, unfortunately they cannot be broken up into multiple sessions. They all need to be completed in one session to have the specific benefit of stopping karma you accumulate up until that point in the day from multiplying. But recitation of the mantra, however many times in a session is still great, because it will help purify karma. However, the specific benefit of stopping karma from multiplying on that day, can only be achieved by doing the 21 mantras together.

Jun asked: Hi dear pastor, I would like to ask about Dorje Shugden practice. According to our great teacher His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche, we may use vajra and bell during our daily Dorje Shugden practice. I did follow but I encounter that there are 2 little black mole appear on my second part of my left hand side middle finger and beside my nail of my right hand side ring finger. May I know do it indicate anything or should I stop it using vajra and bell? Thanks
pastor answered: Dear Jun, This is most likely due to not handling or using ritual items. If it is painful or you are worried, please seek professional medical advice from a doctor. In any case, you can slowly familarise yourself with using vajra and bell, don't try too much at one time, because using ritual instruments is not something our hands are used to normally, so our body can have different reactions, such as sores, blisters, wrist sprain, etc. I hope this helps.

David asked: Hello, Pastors and monks of Kechara. Good morning. I have been practicing Buddhism for about 10 years. I try to cultivate Bodhicitta, I try to put myself in other people's shoes to understand them better. But sometimes my patience fails me. I see so many evil people in the world, who kill other people, who steal things, who are cruel to animals and other people. There are adults who are like parasites, always sucking. They make others sick, and some have huge egos, and they think they are right to act like this, without worrying about causing suffering to others. Whenever I go to practice, I cannot have compassion for these people, because many of them are hypocrites, complacent, in good health to work, but they are lazy and prefer to extort people who are more fragile. So, when I go to practice, I do not want anything good to happen to these people. So I feel like a hypocrite, because I feel unworthy of practicing Dharma because my compassion is so limited. Sometimes I avoid praying for someone’s sake when I think that person doesn’t deserve it. What advice can you give me about this? Olá Pastores e monges de Kechara. Bom dia. Sou um praticante do Budismo há uns 10 anos. Tento cultivar a Bodhicitta, tento me colocar no lugar das pessoas para compreendê-las melhor. Mas às vezes minha paciência falha . Vejo tantas pessoas malignas no mundo, que matam outras pessoas, que roubam coisas , que são cruéis com os animais e com outras pessoas. Há pessoas adultas que são como parasitas, sempre sugando. Elas adoecem os outros, e algumas têm um ego enorme, e acham que estão certas por agirem assim, sem se preocuparem em estar causando sogrimentos para os outros. Sempre que vou fazer minhas práticas, não consigo ter compaixão por essas pessoas, porque muitas delas são hipócritas, acomodadas, têm boa saúde para trabalhar, mas são preguiçosas e preferem extorquir pessoas que são mais frágeis. Então, quando vou praticar, não tenho vontade que algo de bom aconteça com essas pessoas. Então, sinto-me hipócrita, porque sinto-me indigno de praticar o Dharma porque minha compaixão é muito limitada. Às vezes evito fazer preces pelo bem de alguém quando julgo que essa pessoa não merece. Que conselhos você pode me dar sobre isso? I have been practicing Buddhism for about 10 years. I try to cultivate Bodhicitta, I try to put myself in other people's shoes to understand them better. But sometimes my patience fails me. I see so many evil people in the world, who kill other people, who steal things, who are cruel to animals and other people. There are adults who are like parasites, always sucking. They make others sick, and some have huge egos, and they think they are right to act like this, without worrying about causing suffering to others. Whenever I go to practice, I cannot have compassion for these people, because many of them are hypocrites, complacent, in good health to work, but they are lazy and prefer to extort people who are weaker. So, when I go to practice, I do not want anything good to happen to these people. So, I feel like a hypocrite, because I feel unworthy of practicing the Dharma because my compassion is very limited. Sometimes I avoid praying for someone's well-being when I think they don't deserve it. What advice can you give me about this?
pastor answered: Dear David, Thank you for your question. First, Bodhicitta itself cannot only be applied to some individuals and not others, because that is just compassion and loving-kindness, not Bodhicitta. When dealing with or thinking about difficult people, before we can generate compassion towards them, we have to do two things. The first is to reduce our negative feelings towards them. This is done through the practice of developing Equanimity between Persons. The Lamrim teachings are excellent in teaching you how to do this. Equanimity is the basis on which Bodhicitta is built, so it's very important. You can find these teachings in the Higher Scope teachings of the Lamrim texts, that teach about Bodhicitta. Another thing that you can do, is before thinking about being compassionate towards them, put yourself in their shoes, try to understand that person whom you find negative. What you find will surprise you. They are the way they are due to their own life experiences, what was done to them, what they felt, how others reacted to them, etc. And this is all due to karma. Whether we suffer in the usual sense of being hurt, is due to karma. But those people are also suffering from their delusions, and this is due to karma and all it is doing is creating more karma for them to suffer in the future. The Lamrim teachings explan this very well and can be used in meditation. I would highly recommend studying the Lamrim teachings. If you have already done so previously, revisit the teachings again. It will help you a lot in this regard. I hope this helps.

Frank asked: When I am doing my Trakze mantras can I visualize Trakze as the Garuda that he sits on? I feel closer to Trakze as the Garuda.
pastor answered: Dear Frank, While Trake's garuda is actually a part of him, when we are engaged in the particular practice of a deity, we need to visualise their full form. There is reason behind this, because the deity's form itself when visualised has meaning and benefits that we receive when engaged in his practice. So although you feel closer to garuda, you should try to visualise the entire form, because you won't get the proper benefits of the practice. And actually, as mentioned earlier the garuda is actually Trakze. Try to recognise that when you are doing your mantras, and it will become easier to visualise Trakze. You will have the same closeness. I hope this helps.

Khang. asked: Hello Pastors! I have a question about: My morning daily practices: 1. Recite Boddhicitta prayers and chanting Diamond Sutra. 2. I will do short prayer to Lord Dorje Shugden compose by 5th DalaiLama before the dedication finally. Now, I had invited one statue of Holy Mother Vajra Yogini and I had wish to do prayers and tea offering to her daily provide by Rinpoche’s websites here. Therefore, where I can insert her practices into my morning daily prayers above. Thank you so much
pastor answered: Dear Khang, You can insert the Tea Offering Prayer to Vajra Yogini once you have finished the Bodhicitta Prayer and the Diamond Sutra. So do it before you start the prayers to Dorje Shugden. This follow the standard traditional method of structuring prayers. Thank you.

gyaleg Lama asked: what does it mean if i see a lion in my dream? upclose
pastor answered: Dear Gyaleg Lama, Usually dreams are just that, dreams. They do not necessarily have a specific indication or are not signs of anything. However according to dream interpretation which is more an analysis of our mind, lions symbolise courage and fearlessness, that you progressing well. However, if seeing the lion made you feel scared in your dream it can be indicative of facing a person, situation or emotion that is very powerful and will take a lot of effort to get away from the person's negative influence, overcome the situation, or solve the emotional issue. I hope this helps.

It's been a while since our last update. When KFR was busy organising, serving & helping visiting monks together with their chunks of activities in Bentong, back here in Penang, our small but sturdy Penang Study Group has been consistently having their weekly Dorje Shugden Puja @ every Saturday at 3 pm. Here's one update, completed on 6th September 2025. Kechara Penang Study Group by Jacinta.
