（译文请往下阅读） I was 18 years old when this was taken back in 1983 in Los Angeles, California. Here I am in this photo with my most precious root guru, His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche. He has profoundly changed my life for the better forever. Not a day goes by I don’t think about him, love him, miss him and yearn for his presence and teachings. I meditate on him in my heart every single day. He was everything that a high Tibetan lama is said to be and more. From the moment I heard his name before meeting him from a friend who had met him alr...

January 4, 2017 started like any other day but by the time three months had passed, I would have lost one of the most precious beings I have ever connected with, someone I had the fortune to consider my family and even my ‘son’. Yogi (a.k.a. Mumu) was my dog of 13 years, a...

Dear friends around the world, I love nature. I’ve always had a huge attraction to mountains, trees, lakes, streams, forests, greens… and especially environments that have both mountains and crystal clear lakes. My love for the mountains has been embedded in my mind very strongly since I was a young boy. I’ve always wanted...

Dear friends around the world, Social media is in itself a neutral platform and so we can use it for good and bad purposes.

(By Tsem Rinpoche) The ferocious Manjushri Nagarakshasa or Jampel Nagarakshasa is one of the most fearsome looking Buddha-yidams within the Tibetan Buddhist pantheon. As his name implies, he is a direct emanation of Manjushri but appears with the lower half of a naga. This form of Manjushri’s unusual appearance is a direct reflection of...

（译文请往下阅读） Dear good friends around the world, I thought I would make it simple and easy to remember so I came up with these to help you recall the qualities, abilities, benefits and and nature of Vajra Bhagawan Rudra or Dorje Shugden, the special protector emanation of Manjushri. Although he is a fully enlightened being he manifest in worldly form in order to be closer to us and he is able to assist us quicker. There are two categories of protectors. One is mundane (unenlightened) and supramundane (enlightened). Within the mundane, it is broken...
