Thank you Rinpoche for this post which tells us more than that. Feeling the pain of those been slaughtered for human consumption. We should gave up eating meat , have compassion for them who cannot speak for themselves. Looking at those pictures feeling uneasy, the way those chickens , pigs and so forth were killed. We have a lot to answer for those sufferings and killing . We have a choice not to kill and to be vegetarian. Choosing to be a vegetarian is the best as there are many benefits. Vegetarians appear to have lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and lower rates of hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Vegetarians also tend to have lower overall cancer rates and lower risk of chronic disease. Hence for health reasons we should go on vegetarian.

In northern China, where there is a long history of consuming dog meat to ward off the coldness in the winter. They celebrates the summer solstice by throwing a festival that involves the slaughter and consumption of dog meats. Many people love the sophisticated tastes of their dog-meat cuisine. This tradition is slowly fading out as more and more people are aware of the cruelty and not a healthy life consuming it.
Reading this blog and looking at the pictures , one could see the poor lady activist kneels down , begging the vendor to buy those dogs from being eaten ahead of the annual dog meat. What she did was incredible ,sold her family’s two houses to fund the rescue of thousands of dogs. This amazing woman has spent large amount of money, saving dogs from the Chinese dog meat festival. She has dedicated her life to actually doing something worth doing about it. Attitudes towards dog consumption in China are changing, but some of these traditions have deep roots.
Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing.

Bigfoot believe may exist somewhere in the wild, but are not recognized by science. Russian president discovers ‘proof’ that fabled creature exists while on short vacation in Kemerovo region. The sighting is understood to have been confirmed by President Putin’s security detachment after they inspected the footprints. Environmental rangers and hunters in remote mountain terrain confirmed it. The Kremlin leader had witnessed’ three Yetis while on a recent helicopter trip to a remote location famous for claimed sightings. Nobody in the world has found the yeti, and it would be good and beneficial to most people. Scientists and yeti enthusiasts believe there may finally be solid evidence that the apelike creature roams in the wild. As long as there are wild places in America, Bigfoot remains a possibility that, it exist.

Stephen William Hawking was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author. Well he was best known for his discovery that black holes emit radiation which can be detected by special instrumentation. His discovery has made the detailed study of black holes possible. Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking did mentioned in an interview that, it is natural to believe God created the universe. He think science has a more compelling explanation than a divine creator. Religion believes in miracles, but these aren’t compatible with science. Well said by him.
Everything we have in life is all came as a result of research either from ourselves or others. That’s true.

The Dyatlov Pass incident was an event in which nine Soviet hikers died mysteriously in the northern Ural Mountains in 1959. A group of ski hikers led by Igor Dyatlov just perished in this remote peak. Some of them succumbed to hypothermia, but others were found with grisly injuries. No one yet comes to the conclusion what had exactly happened to them and solved one of history’s greatest adventure .The Dyatlov Pass Incident, came to be known and have inspired countless conspiracy theories, such as Yetis, and even extra-terrestrial contact with the unknown. These men and women were never heard from again. A criminal investigation at the time blamed their deaths on an unknown natural force. Sound interesting. There’s some unknown creatures or aliens maybe that cause their death i do believe., as we are not alone.

Samaya is a set of Buddhist vows and commitments that are given when one receives empowerment in the Vajrayana Buddhist order. Guru devotion plays an important part in our spiritual practice in Tibetan Buddhism. As explained by Tsem Rinpoche our Guru we must have a good relations and good samaya with the guru. We can never be overstressed on the spiritual path or else our mind will degenerate. Breaking the samaya vows is worse than breaking any other laws. Breaking a samaya results in a heavy bad karma, especially if one disregards or dislikes, the Guru who have gave us the teachings. The Dorje Shugden controversy had cause disharmony and sufferings to many practitioners. For some of them been drifted away causing them to break their samaya then. Interesting read.
Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor Jean Ai for this sharing.

An equal opportunities Buddha, guiding all to the Pure Land, built in the mid 13th century and is the second tallest bronze Buddha in Japan. Looks stunning this statue with historical stories behind it. Love to visit and see for myself this magnificent statue.

Yes there are many mysterious creatures everywhere this very planet. Its only that we don’t encounter before. Many mysterious creatures such as Owl man , ‘lizard man, Flatwoods monster may exist after-all. Many of them exist in the wild but scientist do not believed it exist by mainstream science. Reading this blog is an eye-opening for me. Just fantastic knowing such creatures do exist. Some of them looks scary to me like the Canvey island monster which had horse-shoe shaped feet with five toes and it had no ‘arms’. Even though its just a carcass seen on the shores of Canvey Island in England. Ferociously looking .

Looking at those pictures in this blog says all. Hundred thousands of monks and locals from different monasteries receiving Dorje Shugden initiation from highly attained Lamas. From one picture where thousands of tents were set up outside the monastery hosting the ceremony for the thousands of attendees. Thousands of fortunate practitioners were fortunate to receive initiation of Dorje Shugden from high lamas of the Gelug lineage . We are fortunate to read and watch those updates from Tibet and else where.
Thank you Rinpoche for these updates.

Dorje Shugden is a fully enlightened Buddha who has been worshipped throughout history by several schools in Tibetan Buddhism. The protector Dorje Shugden was arose from a lineage of highly attained masters who have been taking rebirth life after life. Solely for the benefit of all sentient beings and the preservation of the Dharma. Having to ask for divine help is no exception for Keng Nam. Dorje Shugden the Dharma Protector will help everyone regardless of race and faith in difficult time when pray to him sincerely.
Thank you Rinpoche and Keng Nam for this sharing.

The interest in vegan and vegetarian products is on the rise, especially after consumers become aware of the cruelty involved in producing animal-based foods. Undercover footage released shows slaughterhouse brutal treatment of animals such as pigs , sheep and so forth being kicked, beaten, and thrown into cages before they are slaughtered. The animals should be immediately slaughtered so as to spare them the pain, stress, and anxiety. Secret footage shot inside a slaughterhouse has reignited a row over animal cruelty. Its sad watching this video. As results leading animal protection organisation Animal Aid requested more CCTV cameras to be place in all abattoirs. The public do not want to see animals treated in such a cruel way . To go vegetarian will be the best choice.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing high-lighted the sufferings of animals in slaughter house.

Generally, Buddhist teaching views life and death as a continuum, believing that consciousness continues after death and may be reborn. We’re all going to face death, so we shouldn’t ignore it. Being realistic about our mortality enables us to live a full, meaningful life. Buddhist teachings emphasize the idea that although one’s destiny is always influenced by past karma. That is, our actions in this and previous lives shape the outcome for the next life. Reading this article had me understand further . To learn ,practice Dharma is the best choice I have made. We have our Guru to thank for sharing with us the journey from birth to death. This article gave us a better understanding of what happens to us after we pass away according to Buddhism.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

Palden Tenpai Nyima a native of Tibet, he was the 7th Panchen Lama of Tibet. The Panchen Lama is the second highest ranking lama after the Dalai Lama in the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan . Palden Tenpai Nyima did compiled and edited voluminous collection of tantric deity sadhanas or spiritual practices known as Rinjung Lhantab. Rinjung Gyatsa collection of sadhanas originally came from the great Tibetan scholar Jetsun Taranatha. In turn, Taranatha’s collection was based on the ancient Sadhanamala collection of works by various Indian authors. It was believed to have been compiled between the 5th and 11th centuries which can be traced back to its Indian roots. Its more suitable for higher practitioners . Jetsun Taranatha was one of the important masters of the Jonang lineage, was of crucial importance for the Shangpa Kagyu tradition who had contributed tremendously in Tibetan Buddhism. Interesting read .
Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David.

Monk robes offering is the highest offering and the most meritorious of skillful deeds. The act of offering robes to the Sangha, one will be free from the suffering of hungry ghost realm and taking rebirth in the human form with complete perfect physical, attractive, conceivably pleasant and beautiful shape. Merits of offering robes to Sangha is extremely glorious. The Sangha has preserved, propagated and taught the teachings of the Buddha for centuries. As a result, millions have benefitted from their diligent effort and compassion, hence with understanding and gratitude, it is meritorious for us to offer robes to monks.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

ANIMAL QUOTES

"If you say you don't have money to help a animal shelter, why then do you have money to buy meat?"

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"Eating animals is not our God-given right, but being kind to them is."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"What makes us good humans is not how we abuse animals, but how much we allow them to live and be happy freely."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"We need another and wiser and perhaps a more mythical concept of animals.... We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complex than ours they moved finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."

~ Henry Beston, The Outermost House

"Not eating animals is only unnatural when we are not used to it."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

SPIRITUAL QUOTES

“Meditating on Dorje Shugden while reciting his mantra will open the gateways to higher dimensions, blessings and protection.”

~ Tsem Rinpoche

“If one does the recitation of the Lama Tsongkhapa guru yoga prayer for even one month using one of the visualizations for great or clear or quick wisdom, one will definitely see development of that wisdom. It is proved by experience. There is no doubt that by doing the Lama Tsongkhapa guru yoga practice one can meet Lama Tsongkhapa’s teachings from life to life. And furthermore, it gives one the opportunity to be born in the pure realm of Lama Tsongkhapa, Tushita, whenever death happens.”

~ Pabongkha Rinpoche

"I was 18 years old in 1983. That was a very special year as I met His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche and received innumerable precious teachings and empowerments from Him at Thubten Dhargye Ling Centre in Los Angeles, California. It was the best time of my life. A time that seems so magical and surreal to me. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche is Heruka Buddha and I met Heruka."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"If being me offends you, maybe I'm not the problem."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"Never abandon your spiritual teacher no matter how many inner obstacles you need to overcome."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"Actions to force something to be permanent makes all the karmas arise."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"The dharma is not easy to listen to… because some people take it as criticism. But Dharma should not be just feel good only for the moment but for deeper contemplations."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"Whether we do work and suffer but for others or we do work and suffer for ourselves, either way we have to suffer. That is the nature of samsara. So let us suffer for others and then suffering has meaning."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"Those who really want the dharma to grow within themselves and to grow for others should never fear hard work, timing, difficulties, struggles, disappointments because it is for a good cause. Working for Dharma is not a prison or work, but it is purely spiritual practice. It is purely collection of merit and purification. Actually not doing dharma work is the real prison."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"His Holiness Zong Rinpoche stressed the need to continue to practice even when we come up against obstacles, and that we should continually review our progress. He stated that a happy, luxurious life was like a good dream, and that obstacles and difficulties were like a bad dream. We should give them no significance, but simply carry on working towards real, everlasting happiness."

~ Ngala ’ö-Dzin Tridral

"Things in samsara always go wrong. That's its nature. Don't be surprised."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"Knowledge never quenches the thirst, only application."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

LIFE QUOTES

"I pity men who occupy themselves exclusively with the transitory in things and lose themselves in the study of what is perishable, since we are here for this very end-that we may make the perishable imperishable, which we can do only after we have learned how to approach both."

~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"Money amplifies negative characteristics and that can cause problems. To walk away from that was actually very easy. I didn't even consider it."

~ Angeline Francis Khoo

"I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud."

~ Carl Jung

"There is a devil there is no doubt, but is he trying to get into us or trying to get out?"

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"If you love someone, show it by being honest, respectful & honorable with them."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."

~ Henry David Thoreau

"If I can just be the way I am & you the way you are & we accept each other, world peace is near."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"I am Asian, you are some other beautiful color. Together we make diversity so beautiful."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"It's amazing how some people have never met me or know who I am, but based on a few things they read here & there & rumours, they have formulated a new personality for me & all the things I've never done they passionately speak about....I find it funny and entertaining now. I guess we can't spend our lives fighting rumours...we just have to work hard & then rumours get proven wrong on it's own as a by product. No point explaining repeatedly. Just do our work & show results!!"

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"There's a difference between patience and laziness. Patience comes from respect while laziness from disrespect of others."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"Although outwardly we have so much, we have so many conveniences, inwardly we have become more unhappy, so, acquisition is not the secret to happiness. The more we get, the more we have, the more unhappy we become."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"Before we experience any pain, we already had a fixed view of how things should be. When the experience we encounter contradicts our views, then the pain arises. The pain arises due to our fixed views not so much the experience itself. So the secret is changing the views. Re-educating ourselves on our views."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"You know since very young, for better or worse, I always did the things that others told me not to do. I wasn't really good at following the rules. Even now with how I share Dharma and my practice, I just do it the way I think it should be done but I do it sincerely. Not what others tell me what I can and can't do."

~ Tsem Rinpoche

"Love me or hate me, both are in my favor... If you love me, I'll always be in your heart... If you hate me, I'll always be in your mind."

~ William Shakespeare

"One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous or honest."

~ Maya Angelou

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

Luna asked: In the Bodhisattva vows, it says to not retaliate in any siyation, even at times of murder. How can this be? I can't defend myself? Wouldn't be good if I fight back, because I prevent the murderer to actually murder someone.
pastor answered: Dear Luna, Yes, that is correct. In the Bodhisattva vows, it includes not retaliating when we are harmed by others. The vows themselves are based on the development of Bodhicitta, itself is an advanced practice which needs a lot of groundwork, study, contemplation and practice to reach. A core aspect of Bodhicitta, is to take negative experiences we have and actually transform them into experiences which further spiritual progress and not simply create karma, which keeps us bound in Samsara or cyclic existence. This includes retaliating when harmed by others. In regards to this point itself, it is actually common throughout all of Buddhism. The reason why is that when we retaliate we create negative karma, because the act of retaliation is a negative one. At the same time, it shows that we have not fully understood or comprehended karma yet, because any action that someone does against you, is the result of your own karma from earlier on in this life and countless future lives. If you retaliate, you simple create more karma which you will need to suffer from in the future. At the core of it though is that wanting or needing to retaliate is due to self-cherishing. That is the core of why we are still in Samsara and not enlightened yet. All Buddhist practice is geared towards reducing self-cherishing and eliminating it completely. This is actually a part of the teachings on emptiness also, which is the key to achieve enlightenment. Obviously keeping this vow is not easy to do, that is why you need to have studied, contemplated and meditated on many Dharma topics before reaching this stage. This is all explained and outlined in detail within the Lamrim. This is all in regards to if the person being harmed is ourselves. If someone is harming another person or sentient being, then according to Bodhicitta practice, yes we can and should try to stop them for harming another sentient being. But if we are being harmed, according to this vow, we should not. Also another point to note, is that this is auxiliary vow related to the perfection of patience. As such, even you do not manage to keep this vow (though you should always try to keep the vow as strong as possible), if you break the vow you can purify the infraction. It is not like the root Bodhisattva vows, which if you break means you have lost all of the Bodhisattva vows. I hope this explanation helps, in order to further your understanding you should study, contemplate and meditate on the Lamrim. It is all explained in a lot more detail than we can manage here. Thank you.

S asked: Was Shakyamuni Buddha a nirmanakaya form? What’s the image of sambhogakaya’s shakyamuni Buddha?
pastor answered: Dear S, The historical form of Buddha Shakyamuni was a nirmanakaya form. The Sambhogakaya form of Buddha Shakyamuni is exactly like the form we visualise or depict in images or thangkas. Each part of the Buddha's body has a meaning and significance. You can read more about it here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/the-body-of-a-buddha-a-road-map-to-liberation.html I hope this helps.

Anonymous asked: I just saw a video on Tsem Rinpoche about that we need an enlightened being can only purify our karma. Does this include beings that are outside of Buddhism? Like the great sages and Gurus of Hinduism or the great Saints in Christianity. My second question is that, could Buddhism all possibly be just a placebo affect? Or does it really happen. Like when we visualise Tsongkhapa going into our heart and we feel better, does Tsongkhapa actually go inside and helps us feel better? Or is it just placebo affect
pastor answered: Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your question. I couldn't comment on the great sages or saints of other religions, because I do not know much about them and the spiritual levels they reached. But if they reached the state that Buddhists refer to as enlightenment, and so became what we call Buddhas, then yes. In regards to your second question, no, we do not consider it a placebo effect. The Buddhas are very real, so when we prayer to them and invoke upon their energies, they really do come to bless us. In regards to the dissolution of Lama Tsongkhapa in ourselves during his Guru Yoga, yes he really does enter our hearts. But the strength of that is determined by us, our effort, our spiritual transformation, the merit we have collected through engaging in virtuous actions to generate merit, etc. In essence, it is not just to make us feel better, but actually to bless us with his energy so that we can benefit from it, whether that be healing of the body, calming of the mind, or any benefit associated with his practice. I hope this helps.

Wang Lu Yang asked: I'm very confused about Tsem Rinpoche's lineage, I heard multiple different lineages that is supposedly Tsem Rinpoche's lineage. I don't know which one is which though, do you have anything that shows his true confirmed and complete lineage? Sometimes I doubt Tsem Rinpoche, right now I'm doubting him a lot, I need some structure and advice I can to affirm my connection with him. And a shift in my question, I heard being gay breaks the sexual misconduct vow, is this true? And does being trans bad?
pastor answered: Dear Wang Lu Yang, Please see here for Tsem Rinpoche's incarnation lineage: https://www.tsemtulku.com/previous-lives/ You can click on each life to read more information about that particular incarnation. I hope this helps to clear your confusion regarding his lineage. Being gay does not break the sexual misconduct vow for lay people. The vow is broken when we harm another person with our actions, whether physically or mentally, this includes being unfaithful. Also, being trans is not bad. No sexuality is right or wrong per se, because no matter how you look at it, it is an expression of attachment. Due to karma being so variable, everyone will have different expression of sexual attachment. I hope this make sense.

Meg asked: Hello Is it permissible to keep statues of deities like sengdongma in the house on one's altar? Not to do any tantric meditation but simply for offering prayers and praise? I've heard that sengdongma shouldn't be kept at the house, so hoping if you can clarify.
pastor answered: Dear Meg, Yes, it is actually very good to have the statue of Sengdongma in your house. She is a fully enlightened being, a Buddha. Having a statue of an enlightened being can never be a bad thing. In fact, having a statue of Sengdongma in your home altar, and making offerings daily is a very, very good thing. Some people are a little superstitious about having certain Buddha images in their houses due to their form, being wrathful, etc. But this is not the case at all. In fact, you should have the statue properly consecrated. This will make the statue even more beneficial. If you are not in the position to get the statue consecrated by a monk/nun or Buddhist pastor, you can do it yourself: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/prayers-and-sadhanas/how-to-bless-buddha-images-yourself.html I hope this helps.

I needed an urgent help I wanted to make a request a prayer cum petition for healing in the temple.. I am suffering from depression and anxiety,low self esteem since more than 15 years ..

Luna asked: We reincarnate after we die and become children why does our mind become immature? Like if I die at 70 and my mind is mature, I know a lot of things. After I die, and I'm now a child, why does my knowledge decrease compared to before? Is it because that's judt the nature of human beings?
pastor answered: Dear Luna, Thank you for your question. According to Buddhism, we can reincarnate into various realms, from human, animals, gods, etc. The reason why we can forget what happened in previous lives is due to the type of rebirth that you take birth in. Generally humans have no recollection of knowledge, events, etc, from previous lives. This however is only on the gross levels. On a more subtle level these things are not lost however, it's only that you cannot access those memories or intellectual ability. However there are cases of remembering these things either instinctively or through meditation. In the other types of rebirth however, you can remember all of these things for example, rebirth in the God realm means you do have knowledge or your previous lives, but due to the form you have taken are under the general delusions of that type of rebirth. I hope this helps. Thank you.

Kevin asked: Halo pastor, i'm currently studying on the book (Tsongkhapa A simple guide to a Powerful Practise), in the dissolution part can i not do the powa at the end? As i aspire to go to the pure land of amitabha. Thank You!
pastor answered: Dear Kevin, Thank you for your question. It's entirely up to you, however you should still do the part where Lama Tsongkhapa enters your heart and resides there. That is one of the main parts of the Guru Yoga so you gain blessings from the practice. However, even if you aspire to go to Sukhavati Pureland, that does not necessarily mean you cannot do the powa section of Lama Tsongkhapa's practice. In fact, it's quite the opposite, because it creates a stronger connection with the Buddhas and the Purelands for you to be more likely to get to a Pureland. Once you are in a Pureland, it doesn't mean that you can only be in that Pureland. You will be able to travel to other Purelands too, as long as you are born in one. That's why, even if you wish to be reborn in a certain Pureland, you can also recite the prayers and engage in other practices to reach other Purelands. For example, many Tantric practitioners seek rebirth in Vajra Yogini's Pureland, but also engage in Lama Tsongkhapa's Powa as part of his Guru Yoga. The two reinforce each other in reaching a Pureland, it is your determination of which you aspire more to be reborn in that is the key. I hope that makes sense and helps you.

Anonymous asked: Hi, my sibling wants me to pray for them to help them get into a college. I don't usually pray for worldly things, but in this case, I feel like I need to. It's because they are suffering from mental health problems, and if they don't into that college, there's a big cahnce that their mental health will worsen. How do I go about this? My second question is interpretations of Shunyata, I heard some people believe that things don't exist at all period, and some believe that things are existent, just empty. Which is the correct interpretation?
pastor answered: Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your questions. For your sibling, you can pray to Dorje Shugden. His practice is very well-known to be effective for things like this. It is worldly as you said, but it its for the benefit of your sibling, so Dorje Shugden can and will help in such situations. In fact, I have personally have found that Dorje Shugden helps a lot in terms of getting jobs, education etc. If you don't already know about Dorje Shugden, you can find an introduction to his practice here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/beginners-introduction-to-dorje-shugden.html In addition, we would recommend that your sibling also see a mental health professional as well if they are not already. This will really help them be the best person they can be. We should not rely on only one method but both secular and spiritual methods at the same time. Dorje Shugden's practice will also help to make the secular methods more successful. If your sibling is willing, then they themselves should engage in Dorje Shugden's practice. That would be best. In regards to Shunyata, as we belong to the Gelug tradition, we have a view of known as the Two Truths, that is there is an Absolute Truth (that everything lacks inherent existence) and a Relative Truth (that things exist on the conventional level). This is a little difficult to explain fully here in such a short space. You can read the Lamrim in regards to this, but it is quite complicated. In essence, on a conventional level things exist, but on the ultimate level they don't exist, in that they do not have inherent existence. I hope this helps.

Lin asked: How does one deal with fear and low self esteem, not being confident/vocal in the outside world and the troubles that ensue due to it? In the outside world people look down on you or easily talk over you if one is quiet/looks weak. It’s something that is a big part of my personality. How does Buddhism recommend getting over this inner fear?
pastor answered: Dear Lin, Thank you for your question. The issue of low self esteem is quite complicated, not due to Buddhist practice, but due to culture. Those with low self esteem are generally looked down upon within society and it's said that it is not a good thing. In Buddhism however, nothing is inherently good or bad. These are concepts made by us humans, and we live in such concepts. Rather, as His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche said, we shouldn't focus on what we think is good or bad, but instead focus on what is beneficial and not-beneficial for ourselves and others. So I try to answer your question from this standpoint. So low self esteem, it is beneficial or not. The answer is, it is not. Either for ourselves or others. Then we need to look at what causes low self esteem, and that is fear. But where does that fear come from? It comes from the sense of the ego. It is the need to protect ourselves, whether rationally or irrationally (due to past experiences) that leads us to have this fear, which creates low self esteem. So the key is to deal first with the fear and then deal with the negative aspects of the ego. There are deep contemplation meditations you can do to overcome your fears and at the same time other meditations you can do that help overcome your ego, for example, gratitude meditation, accepting our circumstances, and developing real compassion and Bodhicitta. These can all be found in our book called Insightful Meditation: 18 Ways to Tame Your Monkey Mind, available here: https://www.vajrasecrets.com/insightful-meditation I hope this helps you.

Jie rui asked: People have Tsongkhapa statues and do Tsongkhapa’s Guru yoga, but visualise/see Tsongkhapa as one with their Guru. Can I do the opposite? Can I have an image of my Guru and see it as one with Tsongkhapa while doing Gaden Lhagyama?
pastor answered: Dear Jie Rui, The images on your altar of the Buddhas do not necessarily have to be the Buddhas that you practice, although this helps. So when people engage in Lama Tsongkhapa's Guru Yoga, some people may prefer to have Lama Tsongkhapa's image on their altar. This itself is very good as there are many benefits to have a Lama Tsongkhapa image. And in terms of practice this can help you with your visualisation too, because you have something to refer to directly in front of you. That being said, you can have an image of your Guru on the altar, and not have Lama Tsongkhapa's image on your altar also. It's up to you. When engaging in any Buddha practise, we need to follow the visualisation according to the practice. Hence when doing Lama Tsongkhapa's Guru Yoga, we visualise Lama Tsongkhapa and think that Lama Tsongkhapa and our Guru are one. We do not visualise our Guru and think he is one with Lama Tsongkhapa. There are many reasons for this, for example, you are invoking upon Lama Tsongkhapa's energies, the form your visualise of Lama Tsongkhapa also have an effect to the benefits gained from the practice, etc. Some Gurus do have their own Guru Yoga that you can practice, for example Tsem Rinpoche's Guru Yoga here: https://www.tsemtulku.com/guru-yoga-practice/ In such practices the Guru is visualised accordingly. Each practice should be undertaken as taught in terms of what we visualise, and what we should think to make that particular practice effective. I hope this helps. Thanks.

M asked: Hello Pastor Pastor David Lai on a podcast from the Kechara site stated TWICE that Tsem Tulku allowed some of his students to practice Dorje Shugden as a "YIDAM". He stated this in his Youtube video of August 10, 2021 titled, "Once Upon A Time With Rinpoche - Rinpoche's Personal Yidam Pt 6". At roughly the 3:30 minute mark Pastor Lai stated the Tsem Tulku gave out the YIDAM practice of Dorje Sugden. He repeats this again at the 11 minute mark. Here is the link to Pastor Lai's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSw_LcHw4S0&t=715s Could you tell me more about the YIDAM practice of Dorje Shugden and about the sadhana practice Tsem Tulku gave his students. I pray for the swift return of Tsem Tulku.
pastor answered: Dear M, Tsem Rinpoche assigned people yidams based on their needs and which practices would be most beneficial for them. Pastor David was referring to Rinpoche assigning Dorje Shugden for people as a yidam, meaning the deity that they should rely on the most and focus on, to be their main practice. There is no practice or text of using Dorje Shugden as a proper yidam, meaning tantric practices of self-generation, etc. When Rinpoche assigned Dorje Shugden to be their yidam, this was in reference to which deity they should focus on in their practice. The practice they follow is no different from the standard form of Dorje Shugden practice as a Dharma Protector, it is that they focus and rely on Dorje Shugden more than any other deity. There is no sadhana or practice of Dorje Shugden as an actual tantric deity, only as a Dharma Protector. As an emanation of Manjushri, Dorje Shugden's practice can be your main practice, though following the standard formula as a Dharma Protector and not a tantric deity. Thanks.

Anonymous asked: Do crystals carry power?
pastor answered: Dear Anonymous, Everything in the universe has its own type of energy or vibration, including crystals. They can definitely be used to enhance certain things we want to achieve, for example for healing or for peace, etc. However they are only a very small aid in such things. The better and most powerful aid would be to call upon the energies or vibrations of an enlightened being. There is nothing more powerful than an enlightened mind. So, reciting the mantra or prayers, having a properly consecrated image, or making offerings to any Buddha or enlightened being will be of much greater benefit than using crystals. In fact crystals have been used as part of malas (Buddhist rosaries) for centuries, but it is not the crystals themselves that make the practice powerful, but the practice themselves. The crystals are simply an aid. However, just as crystals have their own energy or vibration, these can change over time. They can also pick up negative energies or even be portals for malevolent beings to enter them. If you have crystals or use crystals for whatever reason, they should be 'cleansed' regularly. This can be done by passing them over incense smoke. The best would be to burn Protector Rice in the incense and pass them over the smoke released. Alternatively, you can recite the mantra of any enlightened Buddha 108 times and then blow on the crystals. The energy of the mantra recited is held on the breath, hence when you blow on the crystals, it transfers the energy of the mantra onto the crystal, dispelling any negativity. Mantras that you can use for this purposes include Lama Tsongkhapa's Mig Tse Ma, Dorje Shugden's Mantra, Medicine Buddha Mantra, Green Tara Mantra, Chenrezig's Mantra. These are all good, but the mantra of any Buddha is also very good. I hope this helps.
