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.

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.
