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 friends around the world, I recently commissioned a very special image of the Dharma protector Dorje Shugden in the Indian and Byzantine styles. I like art a lot, especially spiritual art, because it represents divinity as the artist feels will inspire the most faith. It is with this in mind that I would like to present...
(Oleh Tsem Rinpoche) Dalam sesi perasukan pribadi kedua kami di Kechara Forest Retreat, Dorje Shugden mengatakan dengan jelas bahwa bekerja untuk Dharma sangatlah baik. Bekerja untuk Kechara sangat baik. Dalam bahasa Tibet beliau menyebutkan bahwa ketika kita bekerja untuk ‘organisasi ini’ (Kechara), kita memenuhi kebutuhan orang lain dan secara otomatis kebutuhan kita juga terpenuhi...
Dear friends around the world, I recently commissioned a very special image of the Dharma protector Dorje Shugden in an Indian style. I like art a lot, especially spiritual art, and another style of art that I like is the old Byzantine style. Although very different from either Indian or Tibetan art, it is...
(By Tsem Rinpoche) Kache Marpo is a very ancient Buddhist deity originating from the time of Guru Rinpoche, a thousand years ago. Kache Marpo was installed as one of the Dharma Protectors in Samye Monastery by Guru Rinpoche in the past, as one of the protective divinities to help increase the growth of Dharma...
Within Tibetan society, it is rare to find someone who will speak openly because the Tibetan leadership, sorry to say, does not support or encourage many freedoms. Aside from the suppression of religious freedoms, another freedom that they suppress very heavy-handedly is freedom of speech and expression. Many Westerners will find this difficult to digest because...
I received an interesting email from Philip Yong, which shows some live CNN footage of a sandstorm also known as a “Haboob”. What’s interesting to note about this live footage is the two flying orbs hovering just above the sandstorm itself. These sandstorms whip up very powerful winds but these UFOs are hovering right...
TRANSCRIPT I’m from the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy. Today we are here at the Dalai Lama College for Higher Education to discuss the upcoming elections. It’s important that journalists take good responsibility of their work. In the newspapers, I read only good stuffs. Tibetan reporters mention how great Tibetans are when...
Dear friends around the world, I have something really special to share with all of you. As some of you may know, I really like art and artwork, especially if it is spiritual art. I have also visited many places in the world so I appreciate the artistic styles of different countries very much....
Below is an article that my student, Shirley Tan, sent me. It is about a popular group of British comedians who decided to brave potential scares in a haunted pub… Although their experience is shared here, there have been other people with eerie encounters at the same location. I have added these below too...
In 1996, His Holiness the Dalai Lama banned the practice of Dorje Shugden. His Holiness himself had practised Dorje Shugden for 30 over years, after it was given to him by his teachers, many of whom also practiced Dorje Shugden and in fact propagated it all over pre-1959* Tibet (the year His Holiness the...
I was sent an email with a link to one of the most interesting websites on UFOs: UFOCasebook.com! This website contains A LOT of information in the form of pictures, cases, articles, research files, audio, video and many many more… and it’s ALL ABOUT UFOS! There was one section of this website that...
When my Tsem Ladrang team received an invitation to the opening of Kyabje Zawa Rinpoche’s new centre, I was very very happy to hear this news. Whenever anyone is successful in establishing or propagating Lama Tsongkhapa’s tradition anywhere in the world, it is important for us to rejoice. It does not matter whether the...
The Freemasons are known to be very secretive and according to some people, almost cult-like. Cult is a very subjective word of course. Although I do not know much. Just post this because it looks interesting. There are many stories about how the Freemasons came to be, but the 2 main stories are: 1....
In two recent teachings, the Dalai Lama clearly said that there's no reason to discriminate against the practice of Dorje Shugden, and that the reasons previously given are insufficient to justify any discrimination...
Per gli amici in tutto il mondo, Dorje Shugden è un’emanazione di Buddha Manjushri. Ciò è stato confermato da centinaia di Lama, sia Sakya sia Gelug, negli ultimi 300 anni. Fu originariamente un protettore dei Sakya e anche i Gelugpa lo adottarono come protettore del Dharma. Qualunque sia il vostro culto o religione Dorje...

I must thank my dharma blog team who are great assets to me, Kechara and growth of dharma in this wonderful region. I am honoured and thrilled to work with them. I really am. Maybe I don't say it enough to them, but I am saying it now. I APPRECIATE THESE GUYS VERY MUCH!
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.
