    This post shows how English birthday culture has grown to include online messages, cards, and small gifts as signs of appreciation and connection.
    I recently adapted a traditional blessing for a family birthday and it felt sincere.
    One practical takeaway is to acknowledge group birthday wishes with a single thoughtful message rather than trying to thank everyone individually. (https://birthdaymarathiwish.net/)

    Thank you, Rinpoche for sharing lovely picture of Rinpoche’s mother. Pictures freeze moments in time, but memories last forever.Pictures of loved ones paints a thousand words, leave us as memories. She’s indeed beautiful. The bond between a mother and child is foundational, it’s sad that Rinpoche was not reconnected with Rinpoche’s mother after going through so much pain.

    Interesting rich history and culture of this Chupzang Nunnery with their practice intact for hundreds of years .Chupzang Nunnery is a Tibetan Buddhist nunnery in the Gelug tradition located on the hill side, situated to the northwest of Sera Monastery north of Lhasa in Tibet, China. Originally founded as a small hermitage for monks in the mid-17th century by Trinlé Gyatso, who is a disciple of the Fifth Dalai Lama. It was then converted into an exclusive nunnery in 1984 and has since grown into one of the largest nunneries in the Lhasa Valley. The site’s historical significance stems from its early association with the Fifth Dalai Lama. During a visionary investigation, they discovered a self-arisen stone image of Shakyamuni Buddha. Now its enshrined in the nunnery’s lower temple. Today, as an autonomous monastery for 100 nuns, emphasizing practices such as Vajrabhairava and Vajrayogini. is a historical nunnery, belonging to Sera Monastery
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting post.

    As shown in this blog merely looking at the sacred tsatsa of the Lady Buddha Vajra Yogini is a blessing. The Lady Vajra Yogini tsa tsa looks awesome by inviting or creating one sacred tsatsas is considered a way to bless one’s environment and representing her ability to control the energy of desire and transform it into enlightenment.The image serves as a reminder to purge negative delusions and cultivate compassion.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing enable us to have a look at it.

    Having the opportunity to see those awesome stunning Holy Dorje Shugden statues located all over the world as mentioned in this post is a blessing. Merely by seeing these ten Holy Dorje Shugden Statues around the World in this post is a blessing. I had a great opportunity to take a glimpse into three of them. One is the personal possessions of the 5th Dalai Lama’s handmade Statue,at Kathmandu, Nepal. Not only once but twice during my trip there years back. It is believed that this is the first statue of Dorje Shugden kept at Phelgyeling Monastery. There’s another one at Trode Khangsar, Tibet and of course the one at Kechara Forest Retreat, Bentong, Pahang. Merely by looking at those Holy Statues is a blessing in this blog. especially of those personal statues of High lamas.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Dungkar Monastery, located in the upper part of Yadong hillside about 13km away from Yadong County, Tibet. Built in the early 12th Century by a Geluk monastery, according to tradition it was founded by Lhai Metok, the daughter of Lha Lama Yeshe O. It is a branch of Dhankar Monastery which is one of Spiti Valley’s most iconic Buddhist sites, located dramatically on a cliff. It was the first Gelug monastery of that after it was entrusted to Kyabje Domo Geshe Rinpoche in 1901. Its ancient architecture, dating back centuries, and the panoramic views it offers make it a captivating spiritual and visual landmark. Dhankar village has a rich history once serving as both a fort and a monastery. The village has been a significant cultural and religious center for centuries, with its inhabitants traditionally living in close harmony with the monastic community. Dungkar Monastery also became the seat of a famous and respected Dorje Shugden oracle who was consulted by people from all over Tibet. This oracle could take trance of six different deities including Dorje Shugden and his ministers Kache Marpo and Namkar Barzin.
    Reading this blog over and over again to understand better .As it is worth reading the whole history of such an interesting blog. The Monastery had evolved into a major spiritual center despite destruction and rebuilding over centuries. The monastery survived numerous destructions yet it still remains as today.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David sharing this interesting and details history of Dungkar Monastery.

    Choosing to live a life on learning and practicing Dharma is a powerful, intentional decision that brings lasting happiness and purpose. Since nothing lasts forever, choosing to practice Dharma is the only way to find lasting value and peace.To live life to the fullest means embracing experiences, focusing on the present, overcoming fear, and finding joy in small moments. Living, learning, and practicing Dharma is considered by many spiritual traditions, particularly Buddhism, to be the most meaningful way to navigate life, as it transforms daily existence into a path toward inner peace, wisdom, and liberation from suffering. It is not just about rituals or religious dogma, but about transforming the mind, cultivating compassion, and acting with integrity in all situations.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing profound teachings.

    nteresting story of the great historic Ashoka. He was called great because of his model rule based on peace and compassion that helped in unifying the culturally diverse empire. Ashoka was able to rule over the vast and diverse empire through a centralized policy of dharma. He favoured peace and tolerance and that administered public works and social welfare. He likewise patronized the spread of Buddhism and art throughout the empire. Under a centralised administration he was able to develop and promote Buddhism after walking across the battlefield, looking upon the death and destruction. He then experienced a profound change of heart, renounced war and, in time, converted to Buddhism, devoting himself to peace. Since then, Ashoka was recognized as one of the most fascinating ancient monarchs for his decision to renounce war using his peaceful efforts. Ashoka’s fame is largely due to his pillar and rock edicts left a lasting historical record. He is remembered as a model ruler, controlling a vast and diverse empire through peace and respect, with dharma at the centre of his ideology.
    Thank you Rinpoche great sharing of a great man.

    Ani Pema was a well-known Buddhist practitioner who spent some 51 years in solitary retreat. She accumulated great merit and powerful wisdom from decades. She accumulated great merit and powerful wisdom from decades of meditation . Ani Ngawang Pema was a student of H H Trulshik Rinpoche. The practice of deep, focused reflection and away from distractions, to foster profound self-awareness, offers the opportunity to deepen one’s practice in profound and lasting ways. Her story had inspired many others. When she was young and beautiful many rich famous families seek her marriage but she turn down. She chose to practice Dharma and monastery life instead. She preferred to stay in solitary meditation where nobody could see her. Soon she became a legend people, those who passed her small hut ask for blessing.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this inspiring post.

    True story of how H H the Dalai Lama most fantastic escapes in history everyone should know the truth. How Dalai Lama was saved
    following the advice of the great Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden.
    Through the highly respected Panglung Oracle’s instruction given by Dorje Shugden. Dalai Lama managed to escape undetected through the Chinese army and over dangerous mountain terrain into India, safe and unharmed back in 1959.This true story is now in comic form where everyone reading it will get a better picture and knowledge of the escape. That’s worth reading as it comes in flipbook and image gallery format .

    n Tibetan Buddhist preliminary practice offering 100,000 butter lamps to Vajra Yogini is very powerful practice for generating merit, purifying negativity, and advancing on the tantric path. It’s considered an excellent practice when doing continuous, dedicated offerings for everyone . We could do it ourselves in a retreat setting at home, offering many lamps each day. Butter lamps are traditionally offered to the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Dharma protectors as a gesture of respect. It symbolize the light of wisdom for deep spiritual realization. There’s numerous benefits just by offering lights . Looking at the picture of the Vajra Yogini taken by Philip Yong in the butter lamp house at Tsem Ladrang Kathmandu simply awesome.

    Buddha already mentioned before that there are many other worlds existing and we are not alone. His best known for his work on black holes and the theory of relativity. He had advanced computer graphics to visualize his scientific theories about alien life.
    Depicting, there’s a possibilities for life on other planets, a concept he explored using cutting-edge visuals to make abstract science tangible for audiences. Amazing indeed. Most scientists do agree with his idea that alien life certainly exists in the universe somewhere. Physicist Stephen Hawking had a stark warning to humanity before his death about the capabilities and threat of artificial intelligence. He gave warning about how humanity might fall, including a warning against trying to communicate with alien civilisations. So interesting dough.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing , interesting facts

    Thank you Rinpoche for explaining on the meaning of Lama Tsongkhapa’s hand gestures and the lotuses . This imagery highlights Tsongkhapa’s role as a great scholar and yogi. Lama Tsongkhapa had personify the highest realization of Buddhist teachings and the path to awakening. Lama Tsongkhapa often seen as an emanation of the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, Manjusri. On the lotuses held by Lama Tsongkhapa are a flaming sword in his right hand and a Buddhist text on the lotus in his left hand. The sword symbolizing the union of wisdom that cuts through ignorance and delusion. Wisdom text representing compassion needed for enlightenment. Great knowledge by reading those FB comments as in the blog. There’s so much to learn, thanks again.
