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

- June 12, 2019 05:39Javinder Singh asked: Before the Buddha appeared there were countless prophets, sages, etc. If Buddha walked the earth today he would close all the buddhist viharas seeing all the immorality, spirit worship, lack of brahamcharya, tantric bizarreries and complicated but inferior methods. Like the God-man Jesus Christ Driving Out Money-Changers from the Temple and purifying religion of ritualism and idolatry, teaching simply about the way of devotion (bhakti) and the Oneness of God. There is no higher method than devotion to God. The true definition of Nirvana is worship and merging in God. For a Christian better to read David's Psalms, pray and simply rest in the presence of the Lord which nourish both mind and body till resurrection in glorious body. He does all the work. ‘He who is devoted towards the Lord in his mind, he gets eternal bliss and realises the Lord and state of Nirvana’ (Guru Ram Das, Asa, pg.444) "Chant, and meditate on the One God, who permeates and pervades the many beings of the whole Universe. God created it, and God spreads through it everywhere. Everywhere I look, there is nothing but God. The Perfect Lord is perfectly pervading and permeating the water, the land and the sky; there is no place without Him." (Guru Granth Sahib 782)pastor answered: Dear Javinder Singh, Thank you for sharing your thought here. However, since the nature and settings for this section are mainly for people to ask questions about Buddhism and not a forum where we can talk back and forth to discuss, I hope you understand it and please stick to the rule. You may post your thought under chat section for discussion or you may go to other online interreligious forum to discuss with others who share the same thought. I will keep this reply for 2 days, then I would remove it. In future, I will just remove any content with unsuitable nature without prior notification. Thank you for your understanding.
- June 11, 2019 23:48Paulo Sérgio asked: Javinder, you're boring. Excuse me. But it is what you are transmitting. You act like the Christians here in the West, who try to convince people that the religion you like the most, including their philosophical and metaphysical concepts, are the best and those of others are inadequate or "wrong." In spite of my limited vision, I believe that the Buddhist Masters, who spend years in retreats, monasteries and lecture classes, are certainly aware of this view that you hold so much. I myself have read things about other religions, practiced Christianity for half my life, and in choosing Buddhism, I have fully adopted its philosophical, ontological and epistemic aspects. But in doing so, I do not want to convince Christians that they are "wrong." Being a spiritualist is, to me, more important than being a Buddhist, and this includes understanding that each religion is SUITABLE to different types of mindset. I think everyone has the right to choose his own spiritual path. Reflect if you are within the proposal of this site. Do you want to talk about Buddhism or do you want to offer subsidies to reduce Buddhism? Reflects...pastor answered: Dear Paulo Sérgio, Thank you for sharing your thought here.

- June 7, 2019 18:39Parth2 asked: Greetings rinpoche, greetings pastors. I was going through pabongkha rinpoche's book "liberation in the palm of your hand" there , there was a chapter on the merit field visualisation centring on lama lozang tupwang dorje Chang. I had a few questions regarding this and the bathing ritual that follows it These are a bit too long, I apologise for that 1) does one require initiation to visualize and petition the merit field ? 2) As the visualisation is very complex, can we begin with the centre figure of the five thrones and then extended to the others? 3) does the bathing ritual require initiation, if yes then does having read the process of it in the book constitute stealing Dharma? 4) if it doesn't require initiation, what instruments and implements ( like dorje and bell) does one require for it? 5) can non-initiates keep the dorje and use it? 6) if one can use the dorje, then how is it used? Thanks a lot. pastor answered: Dear Parth2 I try my best to answer your questions but due to the nature of those questions, I may not be able to answer in full. Below are the answers for your questions: 1) We do not need initiation to visualize merit field. 2) H.H. Pabongka Rinpoche explained the visualization method Day 5 of his teaching - The Preparatory rites. There's one special instruction He received from his gurus to combine different versions into one which visualize all the figures in the central vertical row in the form of Manjushri. Please follow that. If you find it hard, H.H. Pabongka Rinpoche also suggested a simpler way to visualize. Please refer to that. 3) The bathing ritual doesn’t require initiation. It’s nothing wrong to read the text. However, in order to perform the ritual, you might need a guru to guide you. 4, 5, 6) The instruments that required in this process are those common instrument we use in Tibetan bathing/consecrating ritual such as melong mirror, bathing basin, bhumpa vase, dorje, bells etc. Non-initaites can keep the ritual instruments, however you may need a guru to demonstrate to you the proper way to use those instrument. Different lineage have their own way of using those instruments, slightly different with each other.
- June 5, 2019 00:08Ling asked: When I do Vajrasattva intensively. I notice that obstacles arise even more in my life. My parents get more aggressive and displeased with me. When I stop my parents go back to their regular happy go self. What is going on pastor answered: Dear Ling, When we engage in any form of purification practice like Vajrasattva practice, it's quite common that sometimes obstacles might arise. These obstacles could manifest as inner or outer obstacle. Inner obstacles such as sickness and emotional changes. Outer obstacles are things from outside world that stopping us from practicing Dharma. When this happens, it could be a sign of purification. We have collected a lot of negative karma in the past whether knowingly or unknowingly, some from this life, most of them are from endless pastlives. Therefore, if we experience obstacles during purification practice, it could be a very positive sign. It means our practice is effective and some of our karma are ripen and we are going through the purification process. When this happens, think of it this way, don't give up. Practice four opponent powers and don't react to it so that we don't create further negative karma during the purifcation process. You can also add in protector practice such as Dorje Shugden practice at the end of your Vajrasattva practice to help you overcome the obstacles.

- June 4, 2019 01:45Albert asked: Dear Rinpoche and Pastor, Tasitelek. I am a Buddhist believer since many years also however, my girlfriend is a non-buddhist believer. She is believing in other religion. May I know : 1. Would it be a sin for me or am I violating any vows that I have (i. e. 5percepts, tantric vows etc) if I accompany my girlfriend to her religion activities such as Church (is to show respect not pray to god) ? 2. I understood that Buddha can manifested in different form in order to deliver teaching for different being. For example, Buddha emanate as human being in order to deliver teaching for human. My question is, is that possibility that gods is also part of Buddha emanation? 3. I understood that, according to Buddha teaching, we have rebirth for many life times.. whatever phenomenon or things that happened is mainly based on 'karma concept '. However, according to Christian, god created human and there is where human exist in this world. My question is in Buddhism perspectives, where is the first karma / karmic origin from? Or where is the point of 'our first life' begin with ? 4. In Buddhism perspective, our main goal is to achieve enlighten status-nirvana (the only way to totally cut off the suffering of rebirth) . However, other religions is having their own goal such as to return to heaven etc. Under such differences of religion beliefs (i. e. between my girlfriend and me), can Rinpoche or Pastor suggest to me any 'balancing point' so that we two can live harmony. 5. Is reading other religion books will offence to our Buddha vows? In this case, Bible. 6. According to some religions, there is only 1 real god in this world. However, Buddhism didnt agreed with this '1 real god concept or god is creator'. May I know is there any 'first buddha concept' in Buddhism? If no.... Who is the actual creator for this world (is it form naturally based on karmic concept? Emptiness?) 7. What is the Buddhism opinion in religion conversion? Is it good for us to persuade others from non Buddhist to join Buddhism? Will there be a sin for those who are converted from one religion to another religion (such as breaks their previous hold vows in their ex-religion) ? Sorry... I am not to challenge but is seek for clarification. Thank you Rinpoche and PastorNo reply yet
- June 3, 2019 07:10Gesar asked: Is there a direct relationship between Dorje Shugden and the Dharmapala Shangmo Dorje Putri.

I am sorry about that. However, please come back to this blog site from time to time, our blog team will update our blog posts with new information from time to time. Thank you.

- June 2, 2019 05:09Paulo Sérgio asked: I see people coming here on this site, insistently, exposing opinions contrary to the Buddhist Dharma. For many years I have been studying religions, and I understand the differences and similarities, at least at the basic level, between them, to the point that it seems ridiculous that people came here on this site, whose proposal is to exclarate on the Buddha's teachings, talk about points of view metaphysical / religious whose essence differ from Buddhism. I think this site is meant to clarify doubts about the Buddhist Dharma, not to discuss the validity of this Dharma. For this there are adequate communities on the internet, whose purpose is exactly this. I myself have asked bad questions here, and I did not complain when the shepherds did not answer them. I preferred to see this as a re-appearance in itself. Correct silence is also the answer. I want to register that I love this site. I love the work of His Eminence Tsen Rinpoche and his team perform. It is a very very beautiful site. And I thank you for everything I learn from you here. I love you all from the Kechara organization. Congratulations on the work you.pastor answered: Dear Paulo Sérgio, Thank you for expressing your thought here. I am glad to hear that you like and appreciate this site as this really involves a lot of hard work from Rinpoche and the blog team. Over the years, Rinpoche has constantly come out with different ideas to make this blog site a better place for Dharma sharing, learning and exchange. From simple comment section to chat section, now if you notice we can even record voice messages and upload videos to share our thoughts here in this blog site. These are all due to Rinpoche's kindness, passion and determination in spreading the dharma to many. I hope you can continue to benefit from this blog site as bringing Dharma to many is the very motivation of this site, and I hope you can share it with others too as sharing the dharma is the highest form of generosity. Thank you.
- June 1, 2019 02:53尕藏栋珠 asked: 尊敬的上师你好，请问多杰雄登护法究竟属于世间护法还是出世间护法？我们可以向他跪拜吗？如果修供多杰雄登护法是否必须放弃其他教派的修法？pastor answered: 亲爱的尕藏栋珠，你好。 多杰雄登护法是文殊菩萨的化身，所以他是证悟的出世间护法。这是我们尊敬的格鲁传承上师们，如至尊帕绷喀金刚持、至尊赤江金刚持、至尊宋金刚持等都这么说的。 既然他的体性与文殊菩萨无二，我们当然可以向他顶礼跪拜，因为向他顶礼就等于是向证悟的菩萨顶礼。 多杰雄登在崛起成为护法的最初是由萨迦派所供奉，后来其他传承如竹巴噶举的上师们也供奉他。这足以完全证明修持多杰雄登护法并不需要放弃其他教派的修法。 希望我简短的回答能解除你的疑惑。 克切拉团体不久前刚推出了一系列驳斥针对多杰雄登不实指控的视频，希望能进一步解答你的问题。 https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/dorje-shugden/the-truth-about-dorje-shugden-13-chinese-videos.html
- May 28, 2019 11:48Parth2 asked: Greetings rinpoche, greetings pastors, hello all. In circumambulation, we generally go around an actual representation of the Buddha ( body , speach or mind) but if we do not have any of these outside where we can do the circumambulations, can we visualise as if there is a statue or a stupa and do the circumambulations in that way. Thanks a lot. pastor answered: Dear Parth2, To answer your question, of course we can visualize a statue or a stupa and do the circumambulation and still get the blessings. However by doing this without the actual representation of the Buddha, the blessings can only come from the power of the subject which is our meditation and visualization. Hence it's very much depends how strong our visualization and meditation is. However, if there's an actual representation of a Buddha, the blessings can come from both the power of the object and also the subject, it means even someone with no idea of a Buddha or not believing in the Buddha can still get the benefits just by the action of the circumambulation alone. Therefore, even if you don't have a stupa at your area, if you plan to do a circumambulation, it would be good if you can circumambulate a statue or any holy representation of a Buddha. Thank you.

- May 26, 2019 07:09Paulo Sérgio asked: Hello, dear pastors. I hope everyone is well. I read a teaching here on this site about Ganapati Ragavajra. There is much similarity with Ganesha of the Hindus, though their stories are different. So I understand that Ganapati, being an emanation of Chenrezig, is an enlightened being. And Ganesha, for the understanding of Buddhism, is a worldly god. Now, being a Buddhist, and knowing this, I have gained a statue of Ganesha as a gift. And it was all very incredible how it happened, so I understood this as a sign, since I'm going through some professional and financial difficulties. I understood as a sign of the Buddhas that I should practice Ganapati, according to the Sadhana given by His Eminence Tsen Rinpoche here on the site. My question is: May I put a statue of Ganesha on my Buddhist altar and regard it as Lord Ganapati? Gratitude ... Tashi Delek!pastor answered: Dear Paulo Sérgio， A Buddha statue is a wood or metal or other material carved or made into the form of a Buddha. The blessings of a Buddha statue come from different aspect. One of them is the iconography of the Buddha which is the symbolism of His enlightened qualities which if we meditate on will guide us on the path of liberation. The blessings of a Buddha statue can also come from what we put inside the statue. In Tibetan Buddhism, we always insert hand-rolled mantras, relics, holy objects, Buddha images into a statue. Hence, by the power of the object themselves, anyone who sees or make offerings or prostrate to the statue will get the blessings. The blessings can also come from the power of meditation and prayers. If we are good meditators who can generate strong visualization, we can invite a Buddha to enter any statue and visualize it as the Buddha himself, then we can get the blessings of the Buddha. Therefore, there's no right or wrong for you to put a statue of Ganesha on your altar and regard it as Lord Ganapati. You can pray and invite Lord Ganapati to enter the statue by performing the Ganapati sadhana given by H.E. Tsem Rinpoche with a sincere heart and still get the blessings. However in order to get the full benefit of Ganapati practice, of course it would be best if you can have a real Ganapati statue with correct iconography, be it just a printed photo, a thangka or a real statue. Hope my answer helps. Recommended reading: 1.

- May 22, 2019 19:02Ernest asked: Dear Pastor, Can you explain more about 5 percepts? What happened to us if we broken any of these 5 percepts? Can we do confession to recover our 5 percepts vow? Besides that, I am bit confusing about sexual misconduct, is it Buddha means any sexual relationship other than husband and wife is consider as sexual misconduct too (how about between boyfriend and girlfriend or those who love each other but they prefer not to registered as a lawful husband and wife status) ? Thank you Pastor. pastor answered: Dear Ernest， The five precepts are the five basic Buddhist code of ethics: 1. to refrain from killing or taking life 2. to refrain from stealing or taking what is not given 3. to refrain from sexual miscondut 4. to refrain from lying or false speech 5. to refrain from intoxicants that clouds the mind. If we break any of the vow, what we can do is we apply the Four opponent powers which is we regret it (Power of Regret), we rely on the Three Jewel (Power of Reliance), we apply the remedy (Power of Remedy) such as recitation of Sutras or Mantras, purification practices like Vajrasattva practice, 35 Confessional Buddhas etc, and we promise not to do it again (Power of Restraint). Then we can retake the Five Precepts again. Regarding sexual misconduct, the key concept is not to hurt anyone just to satisfy your own sensual pleasure. For example, if you are married yet you have an external affair, it's considered sexual misconduct. If you are forcing someone to have sex with you, it's sexual misconduct etc. Sexual relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend or those who love each other is not a sexual misconduct.
