As a child, I experienced a lot of racism growing up in Howell, New Jersey. In school, I was called a “chink” very frequently and bullied for my race. I wasn’t bullied for many other things, but only for my race. As I grew older and taller, the bullying stopped but now as a...

(Oleh Tsem Rinpoche) Kepada Sherry, Setiap orang memiliki pendekatan dan metode yang berbeda dalam melakukan pekerjaan Dharma.

(译文请往下阅读) Last year in November 2014, I requested a group of my students to go to Vermont (USA) to meet His Holiness Kyabje Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche and to make offerings on my behalf. I was unable to go at the time. So they represented me. Our group had the wonderful fortune to go there and receive a timely audience. They had made extensive offerings to Trijang Rinpoche and updated him on my activities, our works, what we have been doing, and also brought a photo album of Kechara’s departments and all of our activities to show Trijang Rinpoc...

When Tibetans first arrived in India in 1959, the Indian government under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru assigned to the Tibetans 24 tracts of land throughout India. On these empty spaces, Tibetans would have the freedom to rebuild their lives. This meant building their homes, constructing roads, establishing shops and businesses, re-establishing their monasteries...

Manjushri practice helps us develop our wisdom when we do it sincerely and with proper visualisation. Manjushri practice can be used to help us with our memory. The practice of reciting the Manjushri mantra is an ancient and powerful Tibetan Buddhist prayers that cultivates wisdom, clarity, and insight.

The ancient city of Kandy is the cultural capital of Sri Lanka and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Most famous for housing the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, the spectacular Esala Perahera festival, and for being the final stronghold of the ancient Sinhalese kings. A place worth visiting by many as beyond its spiritual heart, this bustling central highlands city is renowned for specific attractions and cultural offerings. The Temple of the Tooth as believed belong to the canine tooth of the Buddha. This golden-roofed temple is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in the Buddhist world. Sri Lanka UNESCO-listed Kandy is home to sacred landmarks, landscaped gardens, and cultural museums. Would like to visit if I have the opportunity.
Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing.

Revisit this article ,reminds me of the great memories visiting this spiritual and historic years ago with the blessing of our Guru . Tibet, China is one of the highest cities in the world and serves as a major center for Tibetan Buddhist pilgrims. Jokhang Temple, Sera Monastery, Drepung Monasteries, Barkhor Street, Gaden Monastery, few other Monasteries and beautiful sacred lakes. indeed worth visiting. I have the opportunity to on a pilgrimage going those sacred Monasteries. We did visited the famous Potala Palace former residence of the Dalai Lama and now is an UNESCO World Heritage site . This unique residence is an architectural marvel of wood, earth, and stone. Potala Palace is the most recognisable landmark in Lhasa where many tourist and pilgrims will visit .Reading this very informative post ,many going there will be much easier.
Thank you Rinpoche and Stella for this sharing.
Manjushri is a bodhisattva who represents wisdom in Mahayana Buddhism. The Standing Buddha statue posture symbolizes the Buddha’s readiness to help and assist all sentient beings. This amazing standing Manjushri is located at the Manjushree Park at Chobhar, in Kathmandu, Nepal. Recording to legend it is believed to be the exact spot where Manjushri had cut Chobhar Hill and drained the water from an ancient lake. And that’s where Kathmandu valley is formed. Because of the spiritual significance the Standing Manjushri was built preserving Chobhar’s cultural and now is a tourist attraction. The legend of Kathmandu Valley is closely related to Manjushri as mentioned by the locals.
Visited this amazing Standing Manjushri years back. Merely by looking at it and circumambulating is a blessing.
Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing. May more people have the opportunity to visit such a Holy place.
Kiri Vehera is an ancient stupa situated in Kataragama, Sri Lanka. One of the most popular Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the country. It is known for its pristine white dome, where many locals, tourist and pilgrims visited these famous ancient Buddhist temple. Kiri Vehra, one of the most revered ancient stupas in Sri Lanka, as it believed to have been built in the 3rd century BC. Its now one of the most popular Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the country. This 12th-century stupa is commissioned by Queen Subhadda. Recording to locals Buddha Shakyamuni did visited this place and is said to be one of the sixteen sacred places in Sri Lanka. One of the eight Bodhi saplings is also situated in this meritorious land. That’s awesome. Recently a Bodhi saplings was given to Buddhist monks to bring back to Texas USA.
Interesting read of this scared place which is worth visiting.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
Interesting article…. the Beishan Grottoes are ancient cliff carvings in Dazu District, China. Wow… such caves contain over 5,000 delicate, painted statues carved into a 500-meter-long slope. Its said to be created between 892 and 1172 AD, showing beautiful mixtures of Chinese folk life and Buddhist beliefs. These Dazu Rock Carvings were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. These carved sites have been recognized as protected cultural heritage sites, which contained more than 50,000 individual statues. The carvings represent the last great monument in the history of Chinese grotto art. Together with other grottoes of Dunhuang, Yungang, and Longmen, form a complete narrative of China’s grotto art history. The carvings are invaluable for their historical, artistic, scientific, and aesthetic significance. Interesting. Looking at those pictures in this blog is worth a visit there. Simply amazing.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
