Nasihat dari Dharmapala Dorje Shugden kepada Anggota Kechara Forest Retreat

18 November 2015

Banyaknya ajaran Dharma yang telah diberikan sang Lama, seharusnya membuat Anda seperti sebuah taman yang telah disemai banyak benih. Dan seiring bertambahnya tahun, seiring berlalunya waktu, areal pertanian Anda bertambah, menghasilkan sayuran dan buah-buahan yang baik serta hal-hal lain yang dapat dimakan. Jangan sampai setelah bertahun-tahun menerima Dharma dari Lama Anda – melalui tindakannya, melalui kata-katanya, melalui contoh berpraktik dan berperilaku, melalui sesi ajaran resmi, melalui kebaikannya dan perilakunya – tanah pertanian milik Anda menghasilkan semakin sedikit hasil yang layak dikonsumsi. Paham?

Setiap tahun, layaknya seorang petani – petani spiritual – tanah Anda yang awalnya hanya sepetak harusnya berkembang menjadi dua petak, tiga petak, empat petak, lima petak, 10, 15, 20, dan seterusnya. Apapun yang Anda pelajari di petak pertama dapat diterapkan juga di petak kedua, ketiga, dan keempat. Anda tidak perlu diberi instruksi baru untuk mengerjakan petak kedua, ketiga, dan keempat. Apapun yang Anda tetapkan di petak pertama, apapun rumusnya, apapun metodenya, apapun ajaran yang Anda gunakan, terapkan juga pada petak kedua, ketiga, dan keempat.

Jadi, dengan kata lain, jika Anda menerapkan suatu metode, Anda akan memiliki hasil, Anda akan mendapatkan hasil dalam wujud bahan-bahan yang dapat dimakan. Dan nantinya, setiap tahun tanah pertanian Anda akan berkembang dan tumbuh. Ini adalah ladang pikiran Anda. Ini adalah area pengembangan diri Anda. Ajaran itu seperti benih. Anda tidak boleh mengambil benihnya lalu membuangnya di tanah orang lain dan Anda tidak mendapatkan keuntungan. Anda tidak boleh membajak tanah, menyiangi rumput liar dan menyirami tanaman yang merupakan usaha, etika, sumpah, konsistensi tapi kemudian tak ada yang tumbuh. Untuk memiliki benih dan memiliki tanah, Anda harus melakukan penyiangan, pemupukan, penyiraman, perlindungan dari serangga, burung, dan yang lainnya. Dan upaya-upaya tadi tak lain adalah usaha, etika, aplikasi, konsistensi (dalam praktik Dharma).

Kala pikiran Anda mengalami naik-turun, segera tangkap! Jangan biarkan pikiran Anda ngeloyor lebih jauh! Tidak ada satupun momen dalam hidup Anda di mana pikiran Anda memberi Anda manfaat, jika Anda memikirkannya baik-baik. Tidak ada titik dalam hidup Anda di mana pikiran Anda memberi Anda manfaat jangka panjang dan sejati. Segala sesuatu yang dibawa oleh pikiran Anda berakhir dengan kesedihan, kekecewaan, lingkungan yang tanpa welas asih, ketakutan, kemarahan, renggangnya hubungan dengan sesama dan, yang paling penting, hambatan terbesar kita – zona nyaman. Kita merasa nyaman dengan negatifitas, kita terbiasa dengan negatifitas dan kemudian kita mengharapkan orang-orang untuk menjangkau kita, untuk merawat kita, untuk menjaga kita bahkan ketika kita sudah berusia 30, 40, 50 tahun. Semua ini harus dihentikan.

Bertingkahlah sesuai umur Anda. Berperilakulah sesuai usia Anda. Dan kembangkan pikiran sesuai dengan banyaknya tahun yang Anda habiskan untuk belajar Dharma serta jumlah ajaran Dharma yang telah Anda terima. Jangan bertingkah seperti Anda bergabung dengan Dharma beberapa bulan yang lalu. Jangan bertingkah seperti Anda masih anak remaja berusia 15, 16, atau 20 tahun.

Kalau ditegur, balik marah; saat dipuji, gembira setengah mati– ini adalah pikiran anak kecil. Ketika dimarahi, kaji kenapa, atasi masalahnya, lalu melangkah maju. Ketika dipuji, pahami bahwa Anda berada di jalan yang benar, bergembiralah tetapi jangan terlalu senang karena bahagia dan sedih muncul dari keadaan pikiran yang sama. Bahagia dan sedih berasal dari kondisi pikiran yang sama karena muncul dari pikiran yang sama, yaitu pikiran yang terdelusi. Kebahagiaan mengarah ke kesedihan, kesedihan mengarah ke kebahagiaan dan sebaliknya, terus dan terus, dalam lingkaran yang tidak pernah berakhir.

Karena itu jangan terikat pada rasa senang karena itu palsu. Tidak ada kebahagiaan di Samsara. Jangan terikat pada kesedihan, karena kesedihan terbesar ada di tiga alam rendah, bukan seperti yang Anda alami sekarang. Apapun yang Anda alami sekarang, apapun yang Anda rasakan sekarang, jangan biarkan perasaan itu meledak-ledak tanpa kendali. Jangan biarkan berlama-lama, jangan biarkan bertahan, jangan biarkan perasaan itu berlama-lama.

Yang Mulia Tsem Rinpoche (kanan) bersama kedua gurunya, Geshe Tsultrim Gyaltsen (kiri) dan Yang Suci Kyabje Zong Rinpoche (kedua dari kiri).

Jangan biarkan emosi, pemikiran dan perilaku negatif berlama-lama. Mengapa? Karena Gurumu bukan ayahmu, bukan ibumu, bukan pacarmu, bukan istri atau suamimu atau seseorang yang bisa kamu perlakukan selayaknya orang biasa. Perilaku Anda, bahasa tubuh Anda dan cara Anda berinteraksi dengan Guru Anda adalah hubungan yang sama sekali berbeda dari hubungan Anda dengan orang lain di masa lalu. Anda tidak boleh bereaksi terhadap Guru Anda sebagaimana Anda bereaksi terhadap orang lain – yang pernah Anda temui di masa lalu – karena orang lain yang Anda temui juga diliputi delusi sama dengan Anda. Oleh karena itu ketika Anda mengabaikan mereka, ketika Anda marah pada mereka, ketika Anda mencintai mereka, ketika Anda bersikap netral dengan mereka, itu semua hanya menambah delusi mereka dan sebaliknya.

Apa pun yang berasal dari sang Guru akan mengurangi delusi Anda, kalau Anda mau menerimanya. Apapun yang diberikan oleh Guru atau Anda berikan kepada Guru akan mengurangi delusi dan ilusi Anda. Oleh karena itu, bagaimana Anda berperilaku dan bertindak pada Guru Anda harus sangat berbeda dari hubungan apa pun yang Anda miliki di masa lalu. Sebab hubungan Anda dengan Guru Anda adalah sakral. Mengapa sakral? Karena pencapaian paling sakral yang bisa kita miliki adalah transformasi pikiran kita dari orang yang egois dan mau menang sendiri menjadi orang yang memikirkan orang lain dan berfokus keluar. Dan semakin sering anda melakukan hal ini, anda akan melihat ketidakbahagiaan, depresi, rasa rendah diri, kurangnya penghargaan diri Anda akan makin berkurang. Mengapa demikian? Saat Anda melakukan lebih banyak aktivitas positif, hal itu akan membentuk pola pikir positif. Seluruh tindakan positif yang telah Anda lakukan berasal dari Guru Anda.

Pikirkan baik-baik! Apakah Anda melakukan lebih banyak hal positif sejak bertemu Guru Anda, atau malah Anda melakukan lebih banyak hal positif sebelum bertemu Guru Anda? Jika Anda telah melakukan lebih banyak hal positif setelah Anda bertemu Guru Anda, maka itu adalah bukti nyata, bukti logis, bahwa hubungan Anda dengan Guru Anda menghasilkan tindakan positif, transformasi positif. Adakah orang dalam hidup Anda sebelum Guru Anda yang mengajari Anda melatih pikiran, mentransformasi diri ke arah yang lebih baik, mengajari tentang welas asih, toleransi, Bodhicitta, menerima orang lain apa adanya, pengampunan, dan kesabaran – adakah?

Dan setelah Anda bertemu Guru, apa ajaran yang sudah diberikan pada Anda? Apakah Anda didorong untuk melakukan sesuatu? Apakah Anda dilatih untuk melakukan sesuatu? Apakah Anda dimarahi? Apakah Anda dipuji? Anda dimarahi dan dipuji serta diberkati untuk mengembangkan pikiran Anda. Sejak Anda bertemu Sang Guru, Anda didorong, diarahkan, digiring, disemangati, dan diberi penghargaan untuk meningkatkan kualitas pikiran Anda. Sebelum ini, siapa yang pernah melakukan itu untuk Anda? Siapa yang memiliki pengetahuan untuk melakukan itu untuk Anda? Siapa yang memiliki kebijaksanaan untuk melakukan itu untuk Anda? Siapa yang memiliki pikiran yang melampaui samsara untuk melakukan itu untuk Anda?

Sebelum bertemu Guru Anda, tidak ada yang memberi Anda ajaran transformasi pikiran seperti ini, untuk berpikir lebih tinggi, untuk memikirkan orang lain, untuk berpikir lebih jauh, maka dari itu Guru Anda adalah sebuah khazanah Dharma. Anda harus menghormatinya, Anda harus menjalin hubungan dengan Guru Anda secara berbeda dengan hubungan apa pun yang Anda jalin dengan orang lain karena hubungan Anda dengan Guru Anda tidak seperti hubungan dengan orang lain. Jika Anda mengembangkan hubungan positif yang konsisten dengan Guru Anda, maka pikiran yang positif dan konsisten akan berkembang dalam kesadaran Anda.

Anda mungkin berpikir, “Beberapa orang tidak seperti itu.” Itu bukan salah Guru. Contohnya – ada banyak umat Buddha yang melakukan kejahatan keji yang lebih buruk daripada orang-orang ateis. Itu tidak mencerminkan Buddha; hal itu mencerminkan apakah orang tersebut menerapkan atau tidak menerapkan Dharma. Oleh karena itu, jangan perlakukan Gurumu seperti kamu memperlakukan orang lain. Anda harus memperlakukan Guru Anda dengan sangat hormat. Anda harus memperlakukan Guru Anda dengan penuh ketakziman, dengan sikap tubuh yang baik dan pikiran yang fokus. Anda harus bicara pada Guru dengan penuh khidmat. Seperti yang dikatakan dalam 50 Bait karya Pandita Ashvagosha Yang Agung, kala berbicara mengenai Guru Anda kepada orang lain, seorang murid tak boleh merujuk pada sang Guru hanya dengan namanya semata. Seorang murid harus selalu bersikap khidmat serta menambahkan gelar kehormatan sebelum namanya (misalnya Yang Mulia) ketika Anda menyebutkan nama beliau pada orang lain, sembari melipat tangan Anda sebagai sikap hormat.

Saat Anda melakukan hal ini akan terjadi dua hal, pertama, Anda mengirimkan pesan pada diri Anda untuk bersikap khidmat dan juga mengirimkan isyarat pada lawan bicara Anda bahwa sungguh mereka amat beruntung dapat menerima ajaran dari seorang Guru. Melihat ketakziman Anda, mereka akan tergerak untuk bersikap serupa. Bila mereka memiliki jalinan karma dengan Guru Anda mereka akan datang mendekat pada Guru Anda; jika mereka punya jalinan karma dengan Guru lain maka mereka akan menemukan Guru mereka. Apapun itu, tindakan khidmat dan takzim pada Sang Guru akan menghantarkan mereka menemukan Dharma.

Hal terpenting bukanlah mereka bertemu Guru Anda; hal terpenting adalah mereka bisa menemukan Dharma melalui Guru yang mana saja.

Hubungan apa pun yang Anda miliki sebelum bertemu Guru tidak bermanfaat bagi pikiran Anda, tidak bermanfaat bagi karma Anda, tidak bermanfaat bagi kehidupan masa depan Anda atau bahkan kehidupan Anda saat ini. Hubungan apa pun yang Anda miliki dengan Guru Anda akan bermanfaat bagi kehidupan ini, kehidupan masa depan, dan terutama pikiran Anda. Dengarkan, fokus, konsentrasi, dan renungkan apa yang paling sering keluar dari mulut Guru Anda. Pastinya tentang transformasi pikiran, tentang kesabaran dan toleransi, tentang membawa diri Anda ke tingkat yang lebih tinggi dan berurusan dengan orang lain dengan cara berbeda dari cara yang Anda ketahui sebelum ini. Jika Anda mendengarkan semua ajaran ini dari Guru lalu Anda menerapkannya dengan segera – bukan besok, bukan lusa, bukan saat Anda sedang ingin, bukan saat Anda beristirahat, bukan saat Anda merasa lebih baik – maka petak ladang Anda akan segera tumbuh dan hasilnya akan melimpah.

Dalam membangun lahan Kechara Forest Retreat, banyak dewa dan roh lokal telah ditundukkan. Oleh karena itu, tidak ada satupun dari kalian yang sakit, baik itu penyakit serius atau ringan. Kalian juga tidak mengalami kecelakaan di tanah ini. Terkadang memang ada ketidakharmonisan. Tapi mohon diingat – dan ingat ini dengan jelas – setiap kali Anda melakukan pekerjaan pembangunan, akan ada ketidakharmonisan dalam pikiran. Sebagian besar dewa di sini memang sudah ditundukkan tapi kala pekerjaan pembangunan makin intens dan kita semakin gaduh, maka kita akan semakin mengganggu ketenangan lahan ini, apalagi ketika orang-orang berdatangan, melempar barang, meludah, berteriak, menjerit, maka terkadang roh-roh dan dewa-dewi lokal di tempat ini akan merasa terganggu lagi.

Mereka sama seperti manusia, bisa ditenangkan tapi bisa juga merasa terganggu lagi. Setelah ditenangkan tidak berarti mereka tetap bisa tenang. Artinya mereka bisa merasa terganggu lagi, tidak selalu tetap tenang. Tanda pertama adanya dewa lokal atau dewa tanah yang tidak senang adalah ketidakharmonisan dalam kelompok. Ketidakharmonisan antara Anda dan Guru Anda, ketidakharmonisan antara satu sama lain. Ini adalah tanda pertama karena cara pertama para dewa lokal, terutama di daerah ini, menyerang adalah dengan menciptakan ketidakharmonisan. Dengan menciptakan ketidakharmonisan, Anda memisahkan diri; ketika Anda berpisah, pekerjaan tidak akan selesai. Paham?

Rupang Dorje Shugden di Kechara Forest Retreat

Satu hal penting yang harus dilakukan : kelompok KFR ini harus melakukan retret secara terus menerus, semua orang di ruangan ini, bahkan orang-orang yang tinggal di tanah ini, selama proses pembangunan. Hal ini amat penting! Anda sedang melawan karma Anda, Anda sedang melawan karma orang lain yang akan mendapatkan manfaat dari kehadiran bangunan suci dan Anda juga memerangi produksi karma baru Anda sendiri yang muncul setiap harinya dari pikiran yang mementingkan diri sendiri.

Sebagai satu kelompok, kalian semua harus melakukan retret Manjushri Hitam. Sungguh beruntung ajaran itu telah diberikan tempo hari. Saya sangat senang. Sebagai satu kelompok, Anda harus melakukan retret Manjushri Hitam, mengumpulkan 100.000 mantra secara kolektif. Terutama mantra utama Manjushri Hitam, OM PRASO CHUSO DURTASO DURMISO NYING GOLA CHO KALA DZA KAM SHAM TRAM BEH PHET SOHA. Mantra utama ini harus dilakukan secara kolektif sebanyak 100.000 kali. Sekali lagi, kolektif dalam satu kelompok, Manjushri Hitam. Artinya dilafalkan bersama. Paham?

Manjushri Hitam (klik pada gambar untuk memperbesar)

Manjushri Hitam akan menghasilkan banyak efek luar biasa. Anda mungkin berpikir, “Mengapa harus begini? Kenapa harus begitu?” Karena dari sudut pandang karma dan astrologi, antara berkah dengan kebutuhan serta keperluan Anda sifatnya berbeda. Paham? Manjushri Hitam akan mencegah kutukan yang dikirim orang-orang ke Kechara, baik itu berupa umpatan, kutukan, gosip, pembicaraan negatif, niat buruk serta kecemburuan dari tetangga Anda – beberapa tetangga Anda – atau dari tempat lain, bahkan dari beberapa orang yang mengaku sebagai praktisi spiritual. Jadi, Manjushri Hitam, jika dilakukan dengan baik, akan mencegah umpatan, celaan negatif, kutukan, serta kata-kata buruk. Paham? Praktik ini juga akan menenangkan dewa-dewa lokal yang berkali-kali merasa terganggu.

Bersikaplah harmonis satu sama lain. Saling menyayangi, saling menghargai. Habiskan lebih dan lebih banyak waktu di Kechara Forest Retreat. Paham? Carilah lebih banyak alasan untuk berada di sini daripada di kota. Letakkan energi Anda di sini untuk membuatnya tumbuh, jadilah pionir. Paham? Dan jangan berada di sini untuk sekedar duduk-duduk, bersikaplah proaktif. Lihat sekeliling Anda! Jaga agar tempat ini tetap terpelihara dengan baik. Jaga agar tempat ini tetap terawat. Kumpulkan dana, sibukkan diri Anda untuk menyebarkan Dharma dengan cara modern. Penjangkauan sosial dan interaksi sosial saat ini memang harus dilakukan dengan cara modern.

Lakukan retret, jadilah bahagia. Bersikaplah harmonis satu sama lain. Tenangkan pikiran Anda dan lihatlah tempat ini sebagai rumah. Rumah yang sebenarnya ada di pikiran, bukan tempat. Jadi jika dalam pikiran Anda, Anda berpikir di sini adalah rumah, maka ini adalah rumah, terlepas dari letak geografisnya. Paham?

Tunjukkan contoh yang baik. Waktunya akan segera tiba untuk kabar baik lainnya. Kabar yang akan mempengaruhi organisasi ini secara positif dan berkembang lebih jauh lagi, paham? Salinglah menjaga satu sama lain. Saling mengayomi. Saling menjaga satu sama lain selayaknya kalian adalah saudara sedarah.

Sehubungan dengan aneka rencana pembangunan di tanah ini, pastikan Anda melakukan retret dan jangan menunggu dari satu proyek ke proyek lainnya. Jangan menunggu Lama Anda menghubungi Anda. Lama memiliki alasan untuk menunggu Anda supaya menghubunginya, supaya Anda dapat menabur sebab-sebab munculnya sesuatu dengan meminta (petunjuk kepada Lama) lagi dan lagi dan lagi. Telah dikatakan (dalam teks Dharma) untuk menerima Dharma, kita harus melakukan sujud serta memberi persembahan (indrawi) dan persembahan mandala tiga kali kepada Guru kita lalu memohon ajaran sebanyak tiga kali, dari hati, bahkan sebelum beliau mau menyetujuinya. Dan alasan tindakan ini adalah untuk menciptakan sebab-sebab untuk menerima ajaran. Paham?

Jadi karena itu, untuk proyek apa pun yang ingin Anda lakukan di tanah ini, haruslah Anda minta izin dahulu pada Guru dengan rendah hati. Selesaikan pekerjaan Anda secepat mungkin. Jangan bermalas-malasan, jangan mengulur-ulur waktu, jangan biarkan suasana hati Anda menghalangi tanggung jawab Anda. Jangan biarkan kemarahan Anda menghalangi pekerjaan Anda. Jangan biarkan keraguan Anda menghalangi tugas Anda. Mengapa? Karena tak satu pun dari kualitas ini menguntungkan Anda sebelum Anda bertemu Dharma, dan pasti tidak akan menguntungkan Anda selama mengerjakan pekerjaan Dharma.

Hal terpenting adalah – jagalah hubungan Anda, samaya Anda dengan Guru Anda harus tetap murni. Apa yang dimaksud dengan samaya dan hubungan (yang murni)? Hati yang tulus. Hati yang terbuka. Penghargaan kepada Sang Guru. Saat Guru menghargai Anda, Anda harus menghargai Guru dan selalu menunjukkan rasa hormat yang besar. Sikap hormat berarti menempatkan Guru di sebuah tempat khusus di hati Anda, hubungan Anda dengan sosok ini adalah ekstra-normal, paranormal, ekstra-duniawi, ekstra-terestrial.

Yang Mulia Tsem Rinpoche ke-25

Yang Mulia Tsem Rinpoche ke-25

Apa artinya? Hubungan ini asalnya bukan dari dunia ini, bukan dari bumi ini, bukan dari kehidupan saat ini, bukan dari kenyataan yang Anda alami saat ini. Ia berasal dari banyak kehidupan yang lampau, di mana Anda pasti memiliki hubungan dengan Lama ini. Karenanya Anda ada di sini lagi untuk bertemu lagi, untuk melakukan sesuatu lagi bagi beliau. Beberapa dari Anda telah melanggar sumpah perlindungan kepada Guru, dan beberapa dari Anda bahkan telah melanggar sumpah serius dalam kehidupan Anda sebelumnya. Sang Lama tahu akan hal ini, karenanya beliau selalu berusaha membuat Anda dekat dan akrab dengannya.

Alasan pikiran Anda sering naik-turun adalah janji yang dilanggar di kehidupan sebelumnya, terutama dalam kaitannya dengan sumpah yang serius. Oleh karena itu ketika Anda memutuskan hubungan Anda, ketika Anda melanggar sumpah Anda, ketika Anda memutuskan hubungan Anda dengan Tiga Permata sedemikian rupa, Anda akan kembali – karena Anda telah melakukan sejumlah tindakan Dharma – ke dekat Sang Lama tetapi namun keadaan pikiran Anda terganggu dan terus menerus mengalami naik-turun, itu semua disebabkan karena kurangnya integritas dalam memegang sumpah di kehidupan sebelumnya.

Bisa jadi Anda dahulu seorang biksu, seorang biksuni, seorang Bodhisattva, seorang guru, seorang pencari arhat, seorang yogi/ pertapa, seseorang yang berlindung pada Guru – tapi Anda dengan ceroboh dan tanpa rasa hormat, membuang sumpah Anda dan kemudian memanjakan dan menceburkan diri Anda dalam kenikmatan dunia. Sekarang hal itu menghasilkan pikiran yang tidak bisa yakin sepenuhnya (akan ajaran Sang Guru). Tetapi setelah melakukan hal itu, karena Anda telah memegang sumpah selama beberapa saat, maka Anda akan menemukan Sang Lama lagi. Apakah kamu paham? Anda telah menemukan Lama Anda lagi karena pernah bersumpah, tetapi pikiran Anda naik-turun tidak karuan karena Anda melanggar sumpah itu. Paham?

Buddhist Fundimentals 03

Obat dari masalah ini: latihlah diri Anda secara konsisten. Lakukan retret dengan tujuan memurnikan kesalahan. Lakukan pekerjaan Dharma Anda dengan konsisten dan yang paling krusial: pikiran yang baik, teruslah berusaha untuk keluar zona nyaman agar bermanfaat bagi orang lain melalui pekerjaan Anda. Apa pun yang Anda perlukan untuk dibangun di sini, lakukan permohonan kepada Lama Anda pada waktu yang tepat dan juga dalam kondisi gambar rancangan dan rencana anggaran yang sudah siap. Semua kebutuhan akan datang jika Anda berusaha, paham?

Terus membangun. Lakukan tanggung jawab Anda dengan serius dan jangan lengah. Sekali lagi, saya ulangi – semua kualitas negatif yang Anda miliki sebelum bertemu Dharma tidak pernah menolong Anda. Oleh karena itu tidak akan berguna bagi Anda saat melakukan berpraktik Dharma. Karena itu hilangkan mereka. Adapun semua kualitas positif yang Anda miliki sebelum Dharma telah bermanfaat bagi Anda sehingga selama berpraktik Dharma, hal itu juga akan bermanfaat bagi Anda. Jadi tingkatkan kualitas positif yang Anda miliki, paham?

Bangunlah diri kalian bersama-sama. Saling mengayomi. Saling membantu. Kurangi amarah. Hari ini, Lama Anda telah datang (kepada Anda). Banyak petunjuk baik yang telah diberikan. Anda memiliki dukungan saya untuk instruksi-instruksi tersebut. Bangun tempat ini dengan harmonis, saling bekerjasama, dan tanpa kepicikan. Paham?

Saya akan selalu membantu; ikuti ajaran Sang Buddha, saya akan selalu mendukung. Saya akan selalu berdoa pada Tiga Permata (Triratna) untuk kalian semua.

    Due to the Dorje Shugden controversy many practitioners are still oppressed due to their choice of religion. Yet there are complaisant, and obliging people too who barely understand the situation, poorly informed of the issue and behave in a way they knew what’s going on regarding the ban on Dorje Shugden. There are many good bits of wisdom and worthy words in this article. Well-intentioned people make mistakes, lots of them. Mistakes must be expected and being held accountable for. Oppression will still exist no matter how compassionate sharing with others. If we are willing to risk making mistakes we can still do something. We must constantly try to find out ways to use our privilege to push forward the voice of the oppressed. Do not allow ourselves to be immobilized by lack of knowledge.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Sarah for this sharing.

    Inspiring read of Scott Neeson a most influential person in the movie industry,walked away from Hollywood to start a charity. Left everything he had built,been famous, wealthy and living a life of luxury for the sake of those children living in the slump in Cambodia. He decided to leave Hollywood behind and moved to Cambodia and founded Cambodian Children’s Fund . It was on a trip to Phnom Penh, Scott saw hundreds of children and their families living and working on the Steung Meanchey garbage dump, one of the most toxic environments. It was a moment that changed his life, helping thousands of vulnerable children and their families escape a world of forced labour, child trafficking and desperate poverty into safety and independence. From being a self-serving person, to an extremely giving person truly inspiring. Scott has been living in Phnom Penh where his journey still captivates, inspires and bewilders people from all over the world.

    Vairochana Shugden, pacifying form of Dorje Shugden is revered by many for his ability to purify one’s negative karma, pacify natural disasters and calamities. And is especially efficacious for overcoming illness and disease as well. Shize or Vairochana Shugden is the emanation of Dorje Shugden who embodies the enlightened activity of pacification. Shize’s practice is very effective in helping us to receive prophecies or develop clairvoyance. Shize’s practice is excellent for calming ourselves down and increasing our merits. His practice results in our minds becoming much happier and being alleviated from depressions. Wow we can also rely on Shize’s practice to overcome serious illnesses. It can also be engaged where the area, there are a lot of natural disasters. On the whole its practice has many benefits. When we do the practice correctly, with good motivation, Shize will bless and guide us.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great teachings on Shize who is a direct emanation of Dorje Shugden who is none other than the enlightened Manjushri.

    Interesting article. I never thought meditation can help oneself quit smoking without consumption of medication or drugs. According to an article in The Buddhist Review, not smoking is a result of developing calm and reducing clinging through authentic Dharma practice. Mindfulness-based interventions can help people learn to pay attention to and work with negative feelings, cravings, and other symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. By focusing on our breathing the mind becomes calm and single-pointed. Many are aware of the health risks and addictive properties of nicotine that are harmful. Buddhism is very effective to inspire transformation in people. Good read of how a Yale psychiatrist bringing together neuroscience and Buddhist practices to help people overcome their addictions. Thank you Dr. Judson for the great research work.

    Trode-khangsar a 400 year old Dorje Shugden Temple in Lhasa, had me having great memories. Having a privileged to visit it in May 2019,with my Dharma brothers and sisters. It such a Holy Temple with great stories behind it . Located in Lhasa, that is over 300 years old which is dedicated to the controversial protector deity Dorje Shugden. The Temple is a Gelugpa monastery of Tibetan Buddhism, built in the 17th century by the Fifth Dalai Lama. The Great 5th Dalai Lama composed a praise to Dorje Shugden and created a statue to honour and recognize him as a Dharma protector as apology. Trode Khangsar itself is now registered as a national heritage memorial. That’s awesome as more and more people will get to know about this Holy temple. Merely by looking at those fading murals and Holy statutes is a blessing for all who came to visit this Trode-khangsar. A place worth visiting.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    The concept of rebirth has a long association with Buddhism. Rebirth in Buddhism refers to the teaching that the actions of a sentient being lead to a new existence after death, in an endless cycle called saṃsāra. One will begins a new life in a new body that may be human, animal or spiritual depending on the moral quality of the previous life’s actions. What they are reborn as depends on their actions in their previous life rather kamma. As a Buddhist we should believe in rebirth but still many people don’t . Buddha taught us that choices of rebirth make a difference and can shape many lifetimes. Buddhists believe that nothing that exists is permanent and everything will ultimately cease to be. There is a belief in rebirth

    Against the odds two inspiring nuns fought all the way to become ordained, fighting for their rights to practice Buddhism . Interesting read of how they went through , bringing equality for women in Thailand. Buddhism is the predominant religion in Thailand. Officially, only men can become monks and novices in Thailand under a Buddhist order. The country does not recognize female monks or novices. In recent years, more Thai Buddhist women seeking to become full-fledged female monks, have been defying the tradition getting ordained overseas, in Sri Lanka or India. Buddhist women have been fighting for years for equality and social acceptance in Thailand. They just can’t be ordained by Thai monks. Ven. Dhammananda, 68 year old former university lecturer and activist became Thailand’s first Theravadin bhikkhuni after going the odds. Inspiring read biography on Ven. Dhammananda and Ven. Dr. Lee. They had gone through great hardships, discrimination and against the many odds in bringing equality to women in Buddhism in Thailand.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great inspiration post.

    The unseen things are spiritual realities that are eternal and invisible to our physical eye. There are many forces and phenomena that are not visible to the naked eye. There are many things that humans cannot see yet there are some could see. For what is can be seen is only. Things do exist even we can’t see, believing their existence is our choice. Things that we can’t see in the world opens up a curiosity and exploration by some. Whether through scientific inquiry, or spiritual exploration, the pursuit of knowledge about the unseen can lead to profound insights about ourselves and the universe.
    Malacca City is the historic capital of the coastal state of Malacca, in Malaysia serving as a link between east and west for over 500 years. Famous for breath-taking sights with rich heritage, ancient dark culture and history with many old centuries buildings with an interesting past and a colourful ghost story. For that reason alone it is worth visiting as is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site owing to its well-preserved historical center. There’s many historical mansions been passed down generation to generations and with many ghostly sighting by the locals and visitors. There’s the reason many unseen beings loitering and attached to these places. Such an interesting and incredibly creepy watching the video in this blog host by Li Kim. Li Kim had done a great work all along with her team to share with readers about our historic Malacca .
    Thank you Rinpoche and Li Kim for this sharing.

    The concept of rebirth has a long association with Buddhism. Rebirth in Buddhism refers to the teaching that the actions of a sentient being lead to a new existence after death, in an endless cycle called saṃsāra. One will begins a new life in a new body that may be human, animal or spiritual depending on the moral quality of the previous life’s actions. What they are reborn as depends on their actions in their previous life rather kamma. As a Buddhist we should believe in rebirth but still many people don’t . Buddha taught us that choices of rebirth make a difference and can shape many lifetimes. Buddhists believe that nothing that exists is permanent and everything will ultimately cease to be. There is a belief in rebirth

    Vajrayogini symbolizes the wisdom of all enlightened beings and embodies the impulse of inspiration that drives the Buddhas to attain the perfect enlightenment. Vajrayogini is one of the most effective practices for people today. We can make offerings such as gold or jewel offerings and so on. The offering of gold helps us to collect merits, spiritual attainments, gain a deeper connection to Vajrayogini. It also creates the causes to attain a Buddha’s body.
    Make Offerings to Vajrayogini in Kechara Forest Retreat at Bentong is such an meritorious way for us to collect merits. All thanks to our Guru having conceptualised the idea of having a statue of Vajrayogini for everyone . Recitation of Vajrayogini mantra can be a powerful tool for self-transformation, healing and liberation from samsara.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing with details explanation .

    Thank you, Rinpoche for sharing this insightful article. Life is short, and if we enjoy every moment of every day, then we will be happy no matter what happens or what changes along the way.What ever matter to us at the time of death is nothing. In the end, it’s not the years in our life that count it’s what you leave behind that matters. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again.Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. Learning Dharma and practicing dharma is the our choice that’s matter. Some of the key points to take notes, read, study the Lam Rim and apply it, engage in Sadhana daily and consistently. No one will help us at the moment of death but ourselves. Spiritual practicing is the best choice.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Well the size of Buddha statues in Tibetan Buddhism is important because it represents the Buddha’s immense ability and vast knowledge. Hence the Buddha statues hold the symbol of satisfaction within, peace and happiness. They are a symbol of inspiration for every human being. When we focus on the Buddha statues, it gives us inner peace that our mind, our heart and our soul gets enlightened.
    We have are so fortunate seeing and circumambulating where the 9-foot Dorje Shugden statue and with 500 mantra stones engraved with Dorje Shugden’s sacred mantra. As Rinpoche had said before the bigger and more Buddha statues helps in planting seeds of enlightenment in people’s mind-streams. It also help us to generate as much merit and purify as much karma as possible. Merely by seeing all those big statues at Kechara Forest Retreat is a blessing.
    Thank you Rinpoche.

    The 4th Tagpu Pemavajra Jampel Tenpai Ngodrub, most commonly known as Tagpu Dorje Chang, was a highly accomplished yogi Highly attained lama who had many authentic visions of the Buddhas and even travel astrally to receive direct teachings from them. His recognised line of incarnations stem all the way back to the 14th Century. He is generally regarded as such amongst Gelug lineage holders. He spent most of his time in a hermitage located above Sera Monastery, gave teachings and transmitted many vital practices and lineages to his foremost student Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche. Besides receiving the complete instructions of Dorje Shugden’s practice, Tagpu Dorje Chang had many other mystical experiences throughout his lifetime. Interesting read biography of a highly accomplished mahasiddha lama.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    n Tibetan culture, it is a popular and customary practice for families to invite monks to perform spiritual ceremonies such as Trusol rituals. The monks have had the opportunity to offer such ceremonies for individuals or their families. Such ceremonies purify the elements of the environment which helps those living or visiting there to experience good health, success and well-being. The sacred ritual of ‘bathing’ the Buddhas and consecration through which negativities, sicknesses and obstacles will be cleared. Where by filling those areas with positive energies and good vibes through this Trusol consecration puja. Water is an essential part of this puja and symbolises the cleansing of all negativities and impurities. Through this puja it also pacifies local deities and other unseen beings in the surrounding areas. We are indeed fortunate that Tsem Rinpoche has taught Kecharians this practice and it has benefited many.
    Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

  • What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    7 years ago
    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
