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, As I have mentioned before in the past, learning about the lives of great Buddhist masters is an extremely important part of our spiritual journey. For example, if you aspire to be or have a particular interest in a singer, politician or writer, wouldn’t it make more sense to read their biographies or the books they authored? By reading up about them, we will understand the difficulties these great people went through to get to where they are today and this will inspire us on our paths towards realising our ...

I thought the physicians says there is no cure for HSV 2!!! I am telling you today that DR.UMA cure HSV 2 with his herbal medicine and once you get cured you are cured forever it is never reversible, I have been suffering for this deadly disease called HSV 2 for more than 2years and I lost all hope because my doctor says there is no cure for HSV 2. Brethren I saw a testimony on the internet on how DR.UMA cure HSV, Hapatitis etc with his herbal medication and an email and watsapp to contact him was also displayed, I thought this was a joke but I decided to contact him and he replied telling me not to worry that my problem is over . DR.UMA sent me a herbal medication to drink for one month but only 2weeks I feel strange and I went to my doctor and he confirmed me negative. He can help you too. Contact him via email…dr.umaherbalcenter@gmail.com WhatsApp +2347035619585. He is capable of curing AUTISM, HERPES, HPV, HSV1&2, HEPATITIS A B C, and DIABETES.
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.
