H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche is a recognised Tulku and an ordained monk in the great tradition of Lama Tsongkhapa.
With a Mongolian-Tibetan heritage, a childhood in Taiwan and America, and intensive study and meditation in Gaden Shartse Monastery, Rinpoche is one of the rare, precious teachers with the unique teaching ability to bridge East and West.
Based in South East Asia since 1992, Rinpoche’s teachings are based on logic and universal human values, free of the limitations of dogma, culture and individual background, and have led many to enter the sacred path of study, contemplation and meditation. Great benefit has been predicted for this region, including china, through his Dharma activities.
Renowned for his charitable works such as building schools, hospitals and providing assistance and food to the poor and underprivileged, Rinpoche’s organisation, Kechara, continues to bring benefit to the world through its many initiatives.

Revisited this blog again as the prayers by HH Dalai Lama to Dorje Sgugden is powerful and beautiful to read. It was at Dungkar Monastery in Tibet that Dalai Lama composed the prayers. He was impressed by witnessing the trance of Dorje Shugden which inspired him to compose the prayer. This prayers is still been in use up to this day. We are so fortunate to have this prayers been translated into English for us. Dorje Shugden is an enlightened Dharma Protector who manifested about 400 years ago from a lineage of erudite masters. It cannot be wrong .It was Dorje Shugden oracle that has helped HH 14 th Dalai Lama easy route to escape back in 1959.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing.
Back in 3nd January 2020 H H Dalai Lama was at Bodhgaya ,India, delivered his advice and teachings to thousands of lay people, monks and nuns from over 70 countries. In his speech, H H Dalai Lama mentioned that people can Practise Dorje Shugden if they wish to under some circumstances. As times goes by things change and heal naturally , so as the banning of Dorje Sgugden’s practice. Happy that Dalai Lama spoke this openly in his speech. Finally we could practice now . May peace and harmony be restore.
Thank you Rinpoche great news for all.
Simple yet beautiful shrine of Rinpoche with lots of offerings . Fortunate for us able to see Rinpoche shrine which set an example and motivate to do more. When we make an offering, we are actively practicing generosity, mindfulness, and non-attachment. By doing so it helps us to purify the mind of greed, selfishness, and pride. Depending on the tradition, all these offerings are usually dedicated to the Triple Gem and all sentient beings. Whatever offerings on the altar carry deep symbolic meanings. Offering is a practice where one, with a devout heart, sincerely pays respect and expresses gratitude to deities. Very helpful videos in this blog for us to learn and understanding better.
Thank you Rinpoche.
Hong Kong is the world’s third-ranked global financial centre famous for being a dynamic global financial powerhouse. Still haven’t got a chance to visit this awesome place. I would like to see for myself the big Buddha Statue or also known as Tian Tan Buddha as Rinpoche and group had visited years back. The Tian Tan Buddha combines a massive, record-breaking monumental size with deep spiritual meaning. Located atop scenic mountain on Lantau Island, where the site provides panoramic views surrounded by green lush mountains and the sea. A place worth visiting for its mix of iconic cultural sites and scenic nature with a monastery nearby. Looking at those beautiful pictures says all. It has attracted many tourist and pilgrims yearly.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing.
Watching ghost movies is simply a form of entertainment which I do enjoy most. Frightening scenes activate our sympathetic nervous system such as increasing adrenaline, heart rate, and alertness. I do believe the existence of ghosts or spirits. Its scary for some but not me anymore since learning and practicing Dharma . Many do believe in spirits and an afterlife, often rooted in ancient customs or religion. They always feel connected to deceased loved ones. Many people report seeing or feeling spirits during times of high stress, grief, or unfamiliar environments and at times in their dreams as well. Ghost are unseen beings trapped in a realm of intense sufferings due to past greed, strong attachment, and negative karma as Buddha had explained before. Learning and practicing Dharma is the best choice as the feeling of fear disappeared. And having Powerful Protector pendants will protect us from harm.
Thank you Rinpoche interesting watch.
Changing our perspective alters how we experience life because our reality is shaped by the lens through which we view it. As this will change in the core beliefs and way of understanding how things work. When we change the way we see and do things the world, things will itself changes to a better situation. Shifting perspective helps us connect more deeply with the world around us. Learning and reading new knowledge can change the way we think. There are times when the greatest change needed is a change of our viewpoint in life. Reading blog there’s plenty to learn a profound teaching. Viewing a problem as a learning chance turns stress into growth. alters how you feel and react to it.
Thank you Rinpoche.
Kathmandu is the capital and largest city of Nepal. Kathmandu is a cultural centre of Nepal with many rich ancient architecture, sacred temples, and is the gateway to the Himalayas mountains for trekkers and climbers. Its was there that our Guru H E Tsem Rinpoche had no way to put a night stopped Phelgyeling Monastery where he met a kind monk. Rinpoche was given shelter and food. Nyanang Phelgye Ling Monastery is a Tibetan Buddhist monastic center located at Swayambhu Stupa in Kathmandu. Rinpoche never forgot this monk’s kindness that back in 2018 sent students to Kathmandu, Nepal to meet this kind monk Gelong Tamdrin. They had the opportunity to have an audience with Gelong Tamdrin, the kind monk.
Thank you Rinpoche sharing this with us. A reminder to us never forgot who has help us during difficult time.
Interesting to see how VajraSecrets brings together traditional spiritual items, ritual objects, and products connected with Tibetan Buddhist practices. I also appreciate learning about natural wellness traditions, including [Shilajit Resin](https://greenmilkconcepts.in/products/shilajit-resin-ayurvedic-rejuvenation-men-s-wellness-support), as part of a broader interest in traditional wellness.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Chinese migrants came to Malaysia primarily to escape poverty and political unrest. They were attracted by job opportunities in tin mining and plantations. Many travelled from Southern China by boat to Malaysia. That’s how the Tan family set foot on Malaysia to start the traditional Chinese medicine business. From rag to riches they founded the Tan Ah Chin & Son Medicine Hall in Penang.The story set an example of how Dorje Shugden had help the Tan family in comic. form. When we have faith and rely on this Powerful Protector, it will answer the prayers of those who seek assistance.
Thank you Rinpoche and writers team for sharing this awesome comic. May more and more readers enjoy reading this wonderful comic.
Yes even with our Dharma practice and doing Dharma work we have to do our homework. Practicing Dharma through Dharma work and turning our daily tasks into a path of kindness, patience, and service for others. We have to set the correct motivation, practice mindfulness and letting go our ego. Be patience and have compassion while doing the work by staying calm. What is important to transform our mind while helping and benefiting others from it without agenda.
Thank you Rinpoche sharing this profound teachings.
We are not alone, Buddha has said before. Modern technology has found thousands of planets outside our solar system . Astronomers too have discovered over the past few decades there’s more planets out there that can support life in our universe. Its there any living creatures that can survive no one know or any aliens could.
Astronomers and scientists are trying to discover more whether there’s life on other planets.As the universe is so incredible vast I do believe there’s life out there. Scientists yet to answer whether there’s life in other planets. One day they might as there’s modern technology. Interesting read .
Thank you Rinpoche sharing such a informative article.
A profound teaching on death meditation. Gone were those days when we mention death it is a tattoo .We have to accept death in reality , we came to this world with nothing so as we leave this world with nothing . Nothing belongs to us Death meditation in Buddhism is the practice of reflecting on mortality to reduce fear, letting go of worries at the time of death. We have to accept that aging, sickness and death come to everyone of us. Is better for us to prepare and practice the death journey by visualising as taught by our Guru. Rinpoche had explained clearly and simple for us of the importance of death meditation. Reading this blog again and watching the video on Rinpoche teaching to remind myself .
Thank you Rinpoche and interesting sharing of Pastor Henry updates which will inspire more people to practice.
Wow …with this Dorje Shugden illustrated story and graphic novel more people will get to know and understand Dorje Sgudeh better. Interesting story of how Dorje Shugden arose as a Protector to help us. Dorje Shugden is an enlightened being who is also an emanation of Manjushri. In the ‘Music Delighting the Ocean of Protectors, HH Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche has mentioned the history and benefits of Dorje Shugden clearly , truly and preserving the practice for future generations. Its an accurate account whole story of Dorje Shugden from the very beginnings of this great protector. This novel surely suits all old and young people to read it.
Thank you Rinpoche .
