The highest purification practice is the meditation on emptiness but for all us, that is pretty impossible at this stage. We instead can engage in prostrations, 35 Confessional Buddha sutra, taking and holding vows, refraining from harm and Vajrasattva practice. Purification practices are essential for our spiritual growth. They remove negative karmic imprints and mental defilements, creating space for positive qualities to flourish .Hence its very important to practice purification in our lives which will help to cleanse our mind of negative karma. These practice inturn also remove mental defilements like anger, jealousy, and attachment. There are four powers in order to purify negative actions, firstly the power of refuge, the power of regret, the power of the antidote, and the power of resolution. By removing negative influences, purification practices create a fertile ground to develop positive qualities such as love, compassion, and wisdom. These practices have the power to purify obscuration and negative karma that prevent us from actualizing the path. With the help of these purification techniques, such as prostration, mantra recitation of the 100-syllable mantra and meditation on the deity Vajrasattva involving visualization, we could transform of heavy energies into the lightness. Vajrasattva practice is a powerful purification practice in Tibetan Buddhism.
Thank you Rinpoche for presenting us the practice of Vajrasattva.
Osiris is a prominent figure in Egyptian mythology, known as the god of the afterlife and his worship involved rituals and festivals. Is also known the underworld, resurrection, and fertility . Osiris is famously depicted as a green-skinned, mummified figure, often described holding a crook and flail, and wearing a distinctive crown. Interesting story behind this Osiris as a king who was murdered by his own brother Seth because of extremely jealousy . Due to the popularity of his story filmmaker made it into American science fiction action film.
Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting sharing of Egyptian mythology.
Antique shops specializing in Buddhist art can be a good source, particularly for rare or antique pieces. But be cautious when buying from less reputable sources. Some statues may be illegally obtained such as stolen from temples or it might comes with something else .
Hecelus Tan received an antique Buddha statue given by a relative. He looked at the statue feeling uneasy and having nightmare since then. Quite a few disturbance and he experienced unforeseen incidence as he related those nightmare to his parents. After consulted a Tibetan Buddhist friend as advice to return back to the shop. Then what happened next the Buddha’s head broken and was returned later.
Thank you sharing your first paranormal experience.
Revisit this article of how the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden took trance of the famous Panglung Oracle that had helped the H H 14th Dalai Lama on his historic escape to India. A guerrilla fighting group was formed escorting Dalai Lama through the escape route as advised by the Oracle safely into exile in India, all the way invoking Dorje Shugden to keep them safe and protected . After ensuring that His Holiness was safely in exile, they returned back to Tibet staving off the Chinese incursions. The truth must be known to all its Dorje Shugden who had saved the Dalai Lama’s life.
Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting sharing.
I do believe the paranormal, everything which includes unseen beings, spirits do exist after-all. Kids with special abilities, often referred as gifted or talented. They do demonstrate exceptional abilities in one or more areas, such as academics, arts, or sports. They may show advanced cognitive skills, creative thinking, or physical prowess for their age. Identifying and nurturing these abilities is crucial for their development and well-being. They somehow expressed themselves through art, music, or other creative pursuits. I do believe they have magical powers and especially the ones that are a little bit different. Interesting watching the video.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

The term Concert of Names of Manjushri is a tantric text within Tibetan Buddhism, describing the various names and qualities of the bodhisattva Manjushri. Its usually recited and often memorized by practitioners in Buddhist ceremonies The text consists of verses that praise and invoke the qualities of Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom and knowledge. By just chanting the names of Manjushri, bring numerous benefits, primarily focused on enhancing wisdom, memory, and clarity of mind. Some traditions associate the practice with protection from negative influences, such as black magic, sickness, and negative karma.
Thank you Rinpoche for introducing this powerful practice to us at Kechara Forest Retreat , Bentong, Pahang.
The Jonang lineage traces its roots back to the 12th century, the profound teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni. Interesting read of the History of Jonang lineage and how it converted to Gelug and how Kalachakra maintain in Gelug until today. The Jonang lineage is a school of Tibetan Buddhism that emphasizes the Kalachakra Tantra. It originated in Tibet, though suppressed in the 17th century, the Jonang tradition persevered in remote regions of Tibet and is now experiencing a revival. The Jonang lineage offers a unique perspective on Buddhist philosophy and practice, influencing other Tibetan Buddhist traditions.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing about this profound lineage.
Even its an old post ,revisit again as its good to know that years back our Kechara Forest Retreat was in China Press. Even till now it did came into news with many more updates . That’s wonderful as more people are aware of such a beautiful Holy place at Bentong,Pahang. Kechara Forest Retreat has since been one of the tourist attraction in the state. Introducing this Holy place those days had attracted more and more people seeing for themselves the world largest Dorje Shugden Statue is located. It has since benefited many people paying homage to Dorje Shugden and others Holy Statues there.
Thank you Rinpoche for been at Bentong.
Since escaping from China in 1959, Tibetans refugees settled down in different parts of Indian. The Tibetan leadership and those in exile were given land, opportunities, education and aid, and so many Western charities help them. The Indian government under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru was kind enough and they could do whatever they like. Tibetan settlements in South India have been severely affected by a regional drought. In Tibetian Buddhism accomplished masters could influence the weather. As long as practitioners accomplished in their practices, they had guru devotion and pure samaya with their teachers, it could be done. Many witnesses including our Guru H E Tsem Rinpoche saw the masters could stop the rains. The prayers and rituals have not been effective as they gave up their commitments to their lineage lamas, related to their Dorje Shugden practice. Moreover they have lost faith in great master and gurus as they practise Dorje Shugden. They have creates very heavy negative karma. Great masters could stop the rains and making it rain and save the harvest. For the sake of the people who are suffering from horrendous drought, those samaya must be repaired practitioners must all be united again and not discriminate each others due to their Dorje Shugden practice. The Tibetan government should also repair this samaya. Interesting read .
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this .
I was told there is No Herpes Cure except treatment to control it. I totally lost hope all i could think was loosing my life because it was so embarrassing to have this virus. A few weeks ago I read about a possible natural cure which was 100 percent guaranteed. And I ordered the treatment from Dr Uma. And I also told him about my sister’s cancer, After some weeks we got 100% cured. Now I’m so excited to share this testimony to every article for others living with HERPES, CANCER, PENIS ENLARGEMENT, HPV,HIV, etc. there is possible natural treatment to eliminate this virus.

Manjushri is one of the most important figures in Mahayana Buddhism, and is considered a patron deity of wisdom and learning. By practicing Manjushri our wisdom can enhance and improve significantly. Helps help us with our memory.
Through Rinpoche’s sponsorship at Gaden Sharte Monastery many monks had benefited. Rejoice to them receiving the initiation .Sponsoring the Dharma, which refers to supporting the teachings and practices of Buddhism, is considered a meritorious act in Buddhism. Acts of generosity and support for the Dharma are believed to generate positive karma, leading to positive consequences in this life and future lives.
Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing and explaining it.
David Bowie, was an English singer, songwriter and actor and was once a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner. Regarded as among the most influential musicians of the 20th century . The English singer, songwriter and actor David Bowie died at his Lafayette Street home in New York City but in his will he requested his ashes to be spread according to the Buddhist rituals of Bali, Indonesia. He must been to Bali and fall for the beauty of Buddhism and culture of Bali to choose BUDDHIST ritual upon his death. David Bowie made a conscious choice that made perfect sense, not allowing fans and media to focus on his body and his death.
Thank you Rinpoche.
HORRIFYING, feeling sad after watching the video. The way or rather methods of slaughtering of pigs at slaughter house is indeed cruel. Just like human beings, they do feel pain and fear to be slaughter. No living beings would choose to die in pain or a painful death. Hopefully those methods have since been changed to minimize animal suffering. Stop consuming meat and choosing to go meatless or on vegetarian is the best choice.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this to bring awareness of how those poor pigs suffer before been killed.
