(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...

Therefore, I...

（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...

（译文请往下阅读） My mother had been very disappointed with her partner back in the 1960’s, and along the way she became pregnant but he was unable to marry her. And during that time it was a great stigma and great pain and great shame and embarrassment to my mother. I think when people are young, even our parents, they sometimes do things, out of the spur of the moment, which sometimes brings repercussions later. I don’t blame my mother or my father for what happened, but I understand the pain. My mother comes from a royal lineage from Xinjiang,...

Dear friends, It is helpful to understand the various types of minds and how people think. There are people who are ‘wired’ differently than ourselves and they can look for short term results and immediate gratification instead of long term benefit. In fact they consistently get themselves into trouble and difficulties because they always...
