Dear friends around the world, Having a pet is like having a child. It is our responsibility to take good care of them especially in their old age. We should not abandon them just because they are old and have become “useless” or something of a nuisance and burden. Pets should never be an...

(By Tsem Rinpoche) རང་ཉིད་ལུས་ཕུང་དང་མ་བྲལ་བའི་སྔ་རོལ་ན། འགྲོ་བ་སེམས་ཅན་ཐམས་ཅད་ཀྱི་དོན་དུ་བྱམས་སྙིང་རྗེ་དང་དྲིན་དྲན་བརྩེ་བ། བཟོད་སྲན་ལྟ་བུའི་ཆོས་དང་མཐུན་པའི་རྒྱུ་བསག་པར་འགྱུར་ཅིག། ལས་བཟང་པོ་འདི་སྐྱེ་བ་ཕྱི་མར་ངས་མཉམ་དུ་ཁྱེར་ནས་འགྲོ་ཐུབ་ཀྱི་ཡོད། སྐྱེ་བ་ཕྱི་མ་ལ་ཡག་པོ་ཡོང་རྒྱུའི་ཆེད་དུ་ལས་ངན་ཐམས་ཅད་འཇོམས་པར་འགྱུར།

（译文请往下阅读） (By Tsem Rinpoche) STOP DANCING WITH THE CORPSE When my time has come to leave this world, may I have spent my life cultivating my kindness, compassion, love and tolerance and have done works to have benefited others. These deeds can be taken with me in the form of good karma within my mind to benefit myself in future births. May I have purified my karma and therefore not take anymore negative minded misguided rebirths. If I have to take birth again, may I take birth in places where Lord Buddha’s teachings shine brightly and I live in...

Dear friends around the world, The belief that some races are inherently superior to others is an incorrect perception fabricated thousands of years ago.

Racial discrimination has existed for millennia. It is a matter of great concern especially when people are treated inhumanely as they have been in the past. For example, not so long ago, black people were indentured and sold to householders, plantation owners and industrialists as slaves. Their lives were a living hell; they were chained,...
