His Holiness the Dalai Lama with my teacher His Eminence Kensur Rinpoche Jampa Yeshe. This was taken in Gaden Monastery, when Kensur Rinpoche introduced me to His Holiness as a newly-recognised tulku. His Holiness accepted Kensur Rinpoche's introduction.

पवित्र दलाई लामा मेरा गुरु माननीय केन्सुर रिन्पोछे जाम्पायेशेसँग । यो तस्विर गादेन गुम्बामा लिइएको हो, जहाँ केन्सुर रिन्पोछेले मलाई पवित्र लामा नयाँ निर्धारित टुल्कु हुनुहुन्छ भनेर परिचय गराउनुभएको थियो । पवित्र लामाले सो परिचयलाई स्वीकार गर्नुभएको थियो । पवित्र दलाई लामालाई गादेन गुम्बाका सबै टुल्कुहरुका अवतारहरुसँग परिचय गराइनेछ । यो समयमा, तपाईंको गुरुले तपाईं कसको अवतार हुनुहुन्छ, तपाईं कसरी भेटिनुभयो, तपाईंको अभिषेक कहिले गरियो, तपाईंको माता-पिता, जन्मस्थल, नाम र यस्तै कुराहरु पवित्र दलाई लामालाई बताउनुहुनेछ । परिचय सकिएपछि पवित्र दलाई लामाले नयाँ टुल्कुले दिनुभएको भेट ग्रहण गर्नुहुनेछ । जब पवित्र लामाले परिचय र भेट स्वीकार गर्नुभएपछि उहाँले टुल्कुलाई स्वीकार्नुभयो र परम्पराअनुसार पृष्ठभुमि सबै बुझ्नुभयो भन्ने जनाउँछ ।
 
यस तस्विरमा, छेम रिन्पोछे(बाँया)का गुरु, गादेन शार्छे गुम्बाका भूतपूर्व आचार्य माननीय केन्सुर रिन्पोछे जेत्सन जाम्पायेशे (दाँया)ले पवित्र दलाई लामालाई छेम रिन्पोछेसँग आधिकारिक रुपमा परिचय गराउनुभएको थियो । यस उपलक्ष्यमा छेम रिन्पोछेले पवित्र दलाई लामालाई वज्रपानीको मूर्ति, खामभित्र प्रतिकका रुपमा केहि मुद्राको भेट, र अरु विभिन्न परम्परागत उपहारहरु चढाउनुभयो । पछि यस अवसारलाई याद राख्न यो तस्विर लिइयो । यस शुभभेट सन् १९९५ जनवरी ११ मा गादेन गुम्बामा भएको थियो । पवित्र दलाई लामाले केन्सुर रिन्पोछेको परिचय स्वीकार गर्नुभयो र आशीर्वाद दिनुभयो ।

पवित्र १४औं दलाई लामा जेत्सन जाम्फेल नवाङ लोब्सांङ येशे तेन्जिन ग्यात्सो पेल्सांग्पो,

हात जोड्दै, म निष्ठापूर्वक र विनम्रतापूर्वक तपाईंको करुणामय ध्यानको लागि अनुरोध गर्दछु ।

दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यासमा प्रतिबन्ध लागेपछि र तिब्बती सरकारको निर्वासित क्षेत्रहरुभित्र यस प्रतिबन्धलाई चलनमा ल्याउन थालिएपछि, शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुले धेरै कष्ट सहनुपरेको छ । हामीले आफ्नै मान्छेहरुबाट भेदभाव सहनुपरेको छ, र हामीलाई तपाईंको प्रवचनमा सहभागी हुन अथवा तपाईंको उपस्थिति भएको ठाउँमा आउनबाट बन्चित गरिएको छ । शुग्देन अनुयाय गर्ने अभिभावकका बालबालिकाहरुलाई तिब्बती विधालयमा हेला गरिएको वा विधालयबाट निष्कासित गरिएको छ र शुग्देन अनुयायीहरु र उनीहरुको परिवारलाई भारतको तिब्बती शरणार्थी शिविरबाट बहिष्कृत गरिएको छ । एक संरक्षकको हिसाबले आफ्नो परिवारलाई आधारभुत प्रावधानहरु र खानाको व्यवस्था मिलाउनको लागि भए पनि हामीलाई तिब्बती व्यवसायमा संलग्न हुनबाट बन्चित गरिएको छ । हामीले तिब्बती परिचय-पत्र (पहेँलो पासपोर्ट) लिन खोज्दै पनि तपाईंको तिब्बती सरकारले दिने अनावश्यक समस्याहरुको सामना गर्नु परिरहेको छ, अतिआवश्यक उपचार र औषधी लिन पनि तिब्बती अस्पतालहरुमा हामीलाई अनुमति छैन, र योग्य भिक्षुहरुलाई आफ्नै गुम्बाहरुबाट धपाइएको र जीवनभर पालना गर्छु भनेका पवित्र शपथहरुलाई तोड्न बाध्य बनाइएको छ ।

हाम्रा कष्टहरुमध्य यी केहि कष्टहरु मात्र हुन् । सन् १९९६ मा पवित्र लामा र केन्द्रिय तिब्बती प्रशासनले दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यासविरुद्ध लगाएको प्रतिबन्धदेखि म लगायत शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुले भोग्नु परेको अरु गणना गर्न नसकिने मानसिक र भावनात्मक यातनाजस्ता धेरै कष्टहरु छन् । त्यस समयदेखि पवित्र लामालाई धेरै मानिसहरुले दोर्जे शुग्देनमाथि लगाइएको प्रतिबन्ध हटाउने विवश आग्रह गरेका छन् । यो प्रजातान्त्रिक वा न्यायपूर्ण दुबै छैन, अझ यो त अमानवीय छ र यसले हरेक व्यक्तिको मौलिक हक र स्वतन्त्रतालाई चुँडेर लग्छ । यो निर्णयले पवित्र लामाले तिब्बतीहरुलाई दिनुभएको प्रजातन्त्रजस्तो अमूल्य उपहारले हुनुपर्ने परिणामभन्दा बिल्कुलै फरक दिशातिर लगेको छ र शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुलाई त्यहि प्रजातन्त्रबाट बन्चेत गर्दछ ।

हामीले जुनै धर्म माने पनि, हामी जुनै क्षेत्रबाट आएका भए पनि, र हामी अहिले जहाँ बसोबास गरे पनि हामी सबै तिब्बती हौँ । हामी सबै तपाईंलाई धेरै माया र धेरै आदर गर्छौं तर प्रतिबन्धका कारणले सन् १९९६ देखि हामीले तपाईंलाई भेट्न पाएका छैनौं र हामीलाई तपाईंको साह्रै याद आउँछ । मलाई चाहिँ पक्कै आउँछ । तपाईंले भन्नुभएको थियो कि यदि हामीले दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यास गरिराख्यौं भने हामीले तपाईंको धार्मिक वा धर्म-निरपेक्ष, कुनै पनि किसिमको प्रवचनमा सहभागी हुन पाउँदैनौँ र तपाईंसँग कुनै पनि किसिमको अन्तरक्रिया हुँदैन । हाम्रा अधिनायक तपाईं हुनुभएकाले, के म यो विनम्र अनुरोध गर्न सक्छु कि हरेक तिब्बतीले जुन आध्यात्मिक पाठ अभ्यास गरे पनि कमसेकम तपाईंको धर्म-निरपेक्ष प्रवचनहरुमा सहभागी हुन पाउनुपर्छ । अध्यात्मिक समय (अध्यात्मिक सम्बन्ध)का कारणले हामीले तपाईंको आध्यात्मिक प्रवचनमा सहभागी हुन नपाउनु भनेको बुझ्न सकिने कुरा हो । तर देशको एक साधारण जनताले आफ्ना अधिनायकले धर्मनिरपेक्ष भाषण दिइरहनुभएका बेलामा आध्यात्मिक सम्बन्ध त पक्कै बन्दैन वा आध्यात्मिक जिम्मेवारी त पक्कै पैदा हुँदैन ।

कृपा गरेर, म पूर्ण आदरका साथ आग्रह गर्छु कि कृपया तिब्बती जनतालाई आफ्ना धार्मिक आस्थाका नाममा अझ भेदभाव नगर्नुहोस् । हाम्रो धर्महरु जुन भए पनि, वा हामी नास्तिक नै भए पनि, कृपया तिब्बती समुदायमा समानता कायम हुन दिनुहोस् र दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीविरुद्धको यो कानुन खारेज गरिदिनुहोस् । सबै तिब्बतीहरुले गर्न पाउने कुराहरुबाट शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुलाई बन्चित नगरिदिनुहोस् । सबै नेताहरुले आफ्ना जनतालाई धर्म, जाति, लैंगिक अभिविन्यास, लिंग, आदि जुन भए पनि, आफ्नो भाषणहरुमा सहभागी हुन दिनुपर्दछ । सबै तिब्बतीहरुसँग पवित्र लामाका धर्मनिरपेक्ष कार्यक्रमहरुमा सहभागी हुन पाउने र तिब्बती समुदायमा समानताको आनन्द लिन पाउने अधिकार र सुविधा हुनुपर्दछ । यदि प्रतिबन्ध छैन भने, म र अरु हजारौं शुग्देन अनुयायीहरु पवित्र लामालाई प्रतिबन्ध सुरुभएको विगत दुई दशकदेखि अनुरोध गरिरहेका हुँदैन थियौँ ।

कोहिले दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीहरु चीनसँग मिलेर पवित्र लामाको समुदायभित्र र भारत र नेपालमा भएका तिब्बतीहरुबीच विभाजन ल्याउन कोसिस गरिरेहेका छन् भनि दावा गर्दछन् । त्यो कुरा केहि मानिसहरुमा लागु होला, तर संसारभरिका दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुको मामलामा यो सत्य हुन पक्कै पनि सक्दैन, र यो मेरो सत्य पक्कै पनि होइन । संसारभरिका सरकारहरुसँग गठबन्धित हुने धेरै तिब्बतीहरु छन्, तर यो शुग्देनको अभ्याससँग काहिँबाट पनि सम्बन्धित छैन, र त्यसैले कृपया त्यस समुहमा दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुलाई नगाभ्नुहोस् । दलाई लामा, वा कुनै तिब्बती वा कुनै पनि मानिसलाई हानि पुर्याउन कोहिसँग पनि म कहिल्यै गठबन्धित भएको छैन । म बौद्ध भिक्षु हुँ र म मेरा बोधिसत्वका वचनलाई गम्भीर रुपमा पालना गर्दछु । मैले पवित्र लामाको विरुद्धमा कहिल्यै बोलेको छैन । मैले निजी वा सार्वजनिक स्थान कहीं पनि पवित्र लामाको विरुद्ध नारा लगाएको छैन । पवित्र लामाका लागि मेरो मनमा भएको आस्था, आशा र विश्वास कहिल्यै गुमेको छैन । म बस त्यो दिन पर्खिरहेछु जुन दिन मलाई पवित्र लामाको प्रवचनमा सहभागी हुन र तपाईंसँग शिक्षा लिने सौभाग्य उपलब्ध गराइनेछ । वास्तवमा, मलाई १५ वर्षको उमेरदेखि नै पवित्र लामासँग कालचक्र तन्त्र सिक्ने इच्छा छ । मेरो युवावस्थादेखि नै मलाई पवित्र लामाप्रति गहिरो आस्था छ र सधैँ हुनेछ ।

पवित्र लामालाई थाहा नै छ, दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यास विगत ४०० वर्ष देखि गरिँदै आएको छ । सबैभन्दा सुरुवातमा शाक्य परम्परामा गरियो । शाक्य वंशबाट गेलुग्पाहरुले यो ग्रहण गरे । हामी दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यास गरिरहेछौँ किनकि हाम्रा गुरुहरुले यी अभ्यास अध्यात्मिक प्रतिबद्धताका रुपमा हामीलाई दिनुभएको थियो र यसको अरु कुनै कारण छैन । म दोर्जे शुग्देनको अनुयाय गर्छु किनकि मलाई मेरा मूल गुरु क्याब्जे जंग रिन्पोछेले यो अभ्यास दिनुभएको थियो र उहाँको आदेश थियो कि म यसको सधैं पालना गरूँ । मेरा मूल गुरुप्रतिको मेरो प्रतिबद्धताका कारण म दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यास गरिरहेछु । यदि मैले आफ्नो अभ्यास छोडिदिने हो भने, मैले मेरा मूल गुरुप्रतिको प्रतिबद्धता तोड्नेछु । तर यदि मैले मेरा मूल गुरुको प्रतिबद्धताको पालना गरिरहने हो भने दुर्भाग्यबस स्वत: पवित्र लामालाई अप्रिय भइरहेको रहेछु । पवित्र लामालाई अप्रसन्न बनाउनु मेरो इच्छा होइन, तर मैले मेरो अभ्यासलाई निरन्तरता दिनै पर्दछ किनकि यो मलाई मेरा मूल गुरुले आदेश दिनुभएको थियो । हामीले हाम्रा मूल गुरुहरुलाई दिएको आध्यात्मिक प्रतिबद्धता र वचन हामीले तोड्न मिल्दैन । पवित्र लामा यो पवित्र नियमका बारेमा अवगत नै हुनुहुन्छ ।

म चीनसँग गठबन्धन गर्नका लागि दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यास गरिरहेको छैन, र म कहिल्यै पनि आध्यात्मिक कारण बाहेक दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यास गर्ने र अरुलाई अभ्यास सिकाउने गर्दिन । दोर्जे शुग्देन बुद्धत्व प्राप्त गर्नुभएको प्राणी हुनहुन्छ कि हुनुहुन्न वा भर पर्न मिल्ने प्राणी हुनुहुन्छ कि हुनुहुन्न भन्ने कुरामा दार्शनिक विवाद हुन सक्छ तर हामीलाई आफ्नो धर्म भेदभाव, विभाजन र पक्षपातबिना पालना गर्न पाउने स्वतन्त्रको निर्णय गर्नमा यस कुराले फरक पर्न हुँदैन ।

कोहिले भन्छन् कि दोर्जे शुग्देनमाथि कुनै प्रतिबन्ध छैन तर पवित्र लामाका शब्दहरु निकै शक्तिशाली छन् । जब पवित्र लामाले, कयौँ पटक आफू वा दोर्जे शुग्देनमध्य कोहि एकलाई छान्न शशक्त रुपमा भन्नुभयो, तब यसले ठुलो प्रभाव पार्यो र मानिसहरु छान्न बाध्य भए । स्वाभाविक रुपमा, जसले दोर्जे शुग्देन छाने, उनीहरु अपहेलित, घृणित र बदनाम भए र तपाईंको शत्रु करार भए, जुन सत्य होइन । पवित्र लामाले विगत २० वर्षमा कयौं ठाउँमा मानिसहरुलाई दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यास त्याग्न आदेश दिनुभएको छ । यदि उनीहरुले सो नगरेमा, उनीहरुले तपाईंको कुनै पनि प्रवचनमा भाग लिन पाउँदैनन् जुन निकै दुखद छ । किनकि तिब्बती समुदायमा तपाईंको शब्द नै नियम हो । तपाईंले आफैंले खुलेर यो प्रतिबन्ध नै हो भन्नु नै पर्दैन, तपाईंले आफ्नो अप्रसन्नता व्यक्त गर्नु नै प्रतिबन्धको बराबर हुन्छ । जसले शुग्देन अभ्यासलाई निरन्तरता दिन खोज्छन्, उनीहरुलाई आफ्नो धर्म पालना गरेबापत अलग पारिन्छ र अपहेलित गरिन्छ, र प्रजातन्त्रमा यस्तो हुने हुँदैन । तिब्बती समुदायहरुमा तपाईंका शब्दहरु निकै शक्तिशाली छन् । तपाईंबाट आउने एक अप्रसन्नताको शब्द पनि प्रतिबन्ध जतिकै हुन्छ । पश्चिमका नेताहरुको यस्तो प्रभाव छैन होला, तर तिब्बती समुदायमा यस्तो हुन्छ जुन पवित्र लामालाई पनि राम्ररी थाहा छ ।

दोर्जे शुग्देनको अनुयाय गरेकै कारणले मलाई सामाजिक सञ्जालमा आक्रमण गरिएको छ । सयौँ निर्दोष भिक्षुहरु यसै कारणले गुम्बाहरुबाट निस्कासित भएका छन् । सन् २००९ मा, अल जजिरा, एक प्रख्यात अन्तराष्ट्रिय संचार संस्थाले अनुसन्धान गरेपछि दोर्जे शुग्देनका अनुयायीहरुले भारत, नेपाल, र विश्वभर कष्ट खेप्नु परेको छ भन्ने निष्कर्ष निकालेको थियो । अल जजिराले आफ्नो समाचारमा यो कुरालाई स्पष्ट रुपमा प्रकाशित गरेको थियो । आजको दिनमा आएर, कोहि पनि आफ्नो धर्मका लागि अपहेलित र आक्रमित हुनु हुँदैन । म आदरपूर्वक भन्न चाहन्छु कि कुनै पनि नेताले, चाहे धार्मिक वा धर्म-निरपेक्ष, कुनै धर्म वा आध्यात्मिक पथको आलोचना गर्नु हुँदैन किनकि यसले मानिसहरुमा विभाजन ल्याउँदछ । सबै नेताहरुले प्रजातन्त्र, समानता र न्यायको सम्मानमा, सबै मानिसहरुलाई स्वीकार गर्नुपर्छ, चाहे उनीहरु कुनै पनि धर्म, जाति, लिंग आदिका हुन् । भारतस्थित तिब्बती समुदायमा पनि हामीलाई यस्तै खालको प्रजातन्त्रको आवश्यकता छ । तनाव र अरु धेरै हानिकारक कारणले ग्रस्त यो सानो संसारमा हामीलाई एकता, समन्वयता र सहनशीलता आवश्यक छ । कृपया आफ्ना जनतालाई बिना पक्षपात आफ्नै इच्छाले कुनै पनि धर्म पालना गर्न वा नगर्न दिनुहोस् ।

हामीलाई थाहा छ कि तपाईंले तिबब्तीहरुका लागि गर्न मिल्ने सबै गरिरहनुभएको छ तर कहिलेकाहिँ अन्जानमै एउटा समुहलाई लाभ हुने तपाईंको एउटा फैसलाले अर्को कुनै समूहलाई हानि पुर्याइरहेको हुनसक्छ । दोर्जे शुग्देनविरुद्धको प्रतिबन्धले मलगायत एक पक्षका तिब्बती समूहहरुलाई निकै कष्ट भइरहेको छ । कृपया यो बुझिदिनुहोस् ।

संसार धेरै परिवर्तन भइसक्यो र हामीले उत्तर र दक्षिण कोरियाका नेताहरु पनि मिलेर आफ्नो सम्बन्ध सुधार्न भेट गरेको देख्यौँ । यो सन् २०१८ को अप्रिल, अर्थात् केहि दिन अघि मात्र भएको हो । विगतमा यस्तो होला भनेर कसैले कल्पना पनि गर्न सकेको थिएन । उत्तर र दक्षिण कोरियाका दुबै जनताहरुका लागि यो एक ठुलो समाचार हो । मेरो इच्छा छ कि उनीहरु दुबै फेरि मित्रराष्ट्र बनुन् । यसरी नै, हामी पनि तपाईंसँग पुन:मिलन गर्न सक्छौं भन्ने मलाई पूरा विश्वास छ । दक्षिण र उत्तर कोरियाले यस ऐतिहासिक भेट गर्नका लागि कयौँ पहाड चढ्नु पर्यो र मलाई लाग्दैन कि पवित्र लामा र दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुबीच यति धेरै मतभेद छ र त्यसैले मलाई लाग्छ कि हामी फेरी एक हुन सक्छौं ।

हामीले यो पनि देखिरहेका छौँ कि चीन र भारतबीचको दशाकौंको तनावपूर्ण सम्बन्धपछि, भारतका माननीय प्रधानमन्त्री नरेन्द्र मोदी र चीनका माननीय राष्ट्रपति जी जिन्पिंग अब आफ्ना मतभेदहरुलाई हटाउने क्रममा छन् । शीतयुद्ध, अशान्ति, अविश्वासले कसैको पनि भलो गरेको छैन । चीन र भारतलाई आफ्नो सम्बन्धमा सुधार ल्याउन समय लाग्छ । विगतमा यो कसरी हुने होला भन्ने कुरामा शंका थियो, तर अहिले यो भइरहेछ । चीन र भारतको मित्रताले संसारलाई सकारात्मक प्रभाव पार्नेछ । मतभेद भएका पक्षहरुको मिलाप भएको समाचार आउनु सम्भव छ र अत्यावश्यक पनि छ । यदि यस्ता ठुला नेताहरुले आफ्नो उदार पक्ष देखाएर पहिला भएका मतभेदहरुमा सुधार ल्याउन सक्छन् भने, तपाईंले आफ्नो मनमा, तपाईं र दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुबीच भएका मतभेदभन्दा माथि उठेर सबै दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुसँगको सम्बन्धमा सुधार आउने बाटो पत्ता लगाउन सक्नुहुन्छ । हामीलाई तपाईंसँग पुन:मिलन गर्ने इच्छा छ । आध्यात्मिक अभिविन्यास जे भए पनि कृपया आफ्ना जनतालाई एकिकृत गर्नुहोस् ।

हालै अप्रिल २५, २०१८ मा पवित्र लामाले चीनले छानेका पान्चेन लामालाई अप्रत्यक्ष रुपमा स्वीकार्नु भएको छ र उच्च लामाहरुका एकै समयमा धेरै अवतार हुन सक्छन् भनेर जाम्यांग खेंत्से वान्ग्पोको उदाहरण दिनुभएर चीनले छानेका पान्चेन लामालाई अप्रत्यक्ष रुपमा मान्यता दिनुभएको छ । पवित्र लामाले भन्नुभयो कि दुइ पान्चेन लामा हुन् सक्छन् र मैले यो सुक्ष्म तर गहन सन्देश बुझें । पवित्र लामाले मान्यता दिनुभएको पान्चेन लामा र चीनले मान्यता दिएका पान्चेन लामा दुबै पवित्र १० औँ पान्चेन लामाका अवतार हुन् सक्छन् । यो अतिउत्तम खबर हो र पवित्र लामाले चीनसँगको सम्बन्ध सुधार गर्नका लागि बढाउनुभएको ठुलो हात हो । चिनियाँ पान्चेन लामालाई अप्रत्यक्ष रुपमा मान्यता दिनुभएको खबर सुनेर म निकै खुशी छु र सायद यसले पवित्र लामा र चीनबीचमा सम्बन्ध सुधार गर्ने संवादको वातावरण सिर्जना हुन सहयोग गर्नेछ जसले सबै तिब्बतीहरुलाई लाभ हुनेछ । सायद यसले पवित्र लामाको सपनाले संकेत गरेजस्तै पवित्र लामालाई चीन र तिब्बत फर्काउन र पोतला महलमा बस्ने बाटो बन्न सहयोग गर्नेछ । म यो होस् भनेर कामना गर्दछु किनकी पवित्र लामाले यो होस् भनेर कामना गर्नुहुन्छ । म यो होस् भनेर साँचै चाहन्छु किनकि मलाई थाहा छ कि तिब्बती मानिसहरुजस्तै पवित्र लामालाई पनि तिब्बतको सम्झना आउँदछ, जसरि शुग्देन र शुग्देन-बाहेकका सबै तिब्बतीहरुलाई तपाईंको सम्झना आउँछ ।

त्यसैले हात जोड्दै, घुँडा टेक्दै, म अनुरोध गर्दछु कि पवित्र लामाले सबै आधिकारिक स्थानहरुबाट र धर्मशालामा लेखिएको केन्द्रीय तिब्बती प्रशासनको साहित्यमा भएको दोर्जे शुग्देनसँग सम्बन्धित सबै किसिमको धब्बा, नकारात्मक वचन र नकारात्मक सन्दर्भहरु मेटाइदिनुहोस् ताकि दोर्जे शुगदेनमाथि भएको प्रतिबन्धको अन्त्य होओस् । म पवित्र लामालाई विनम्र अनुरोध गर्दछु कि धार्मिक अभिविन्यास जुन भए पनि सबै तिब्बतीलाई एकिकृत गरियोस् । कृपया हामीलाई तपाईं र दोर्जे शुग्देनबीच छान्न बाध्य नबनाउनुहोस् । हामीलाई छान्ने वा एक वा अर्कोसँग टाढा हुने इच्छा छैन । सहि किसिमको प्रजातन्त्रमा हामीलाई छान्न बाध्य गर्न पाइन्न । गादेन गुम्बाका कयौँ वृद्ध भिक्षुहरु मुटु टुटेर बित्नुभयो किनकी उहाँहरुलाई पवित्र लामा र दोर्जे शुग्देनबीच छनोट गर्ने इच्छा थिएन र यो हामीले देखेका छौँ । कयौं शताब्दीदेखि, गेलुग वंशका कयौँ पुस्ताले दुबै दलाई लामा र दोर्जे शुग्देनको पूजा गर्दथे । म मनबाटै यहि निरन्तर भइरहोस् भन्ने चाहन्छु । हामीलाई फेरि एकिकृत गर्ने शक्ति तपाईंमा छ ।

समयहुन्जेल नै यसको बारेमा केहि गरिहल्नुहोस् । हामीले जुनसुकै धर्म माने पनि हाम्रो अधिनायक भइदिनुहोस् । हे येशेनोर्बु (इच्छा पुरा गर्ने रत्न), कृपया हामीलाई तपाईंलाई फेरि भेट्न अनुमति दिनुहोस् र तपाईंको स्वर्ण आशिर्वादको आनन्द लिन दिनुहोस् । किनकि यति धेरै संसार परिवर्तन हुने घटनाहरु भइरहेका छन्, म दण्डवत प्रणाम गर्दै विनम्र अनुरोध गर्दछु कि दोर्जे शुग्देनमाथिको प्रतिबन्ध हटाइदिनुहोस् र दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुमाथि लगाइएका सबै कलंकहरु मेटिदिनुहोस् । दोर्जे शुग्देन र उहाँका अनुयायीहरुको विरुद्ध लेखिएका सबै नकारात्मक किताब, प्रवचन, तपाईंको आधिकारिक वेबसाइटमा भएका जानकारीहरुको नाश गरिदिनुहोस् । एक प्रजातान्त्रिक अधिनायक र सरकारलाई यो सुहाउनेछ ।

तपाईं अवलोकितेश्वरको अत्यन्त करुणामय, महान अवतार हुनुहन्छ । तपाईंको बुद्धिमानी र समुन्द्रझैँ करुणाको प्रयोग गरेर कृपया तपाईंको जनतालाई एकिकृत गर्नुहोस् । हामीले जुन धर्म पालना गरे पनि हामी सबैलाई एकिकृत गरिदिनुहोस् । म मेरो आत्माको सबैभन्दा गहिरो स्थानबाट पवित्र लामालाई विनम्र अनुरोध गर्दछु र आग्रह गर्दछु कि यस चिठ्ठीबाट रिसानी नगर्नुहोस् किनकि तपाईंको पवित्र मस्तिष्कलाई अशान्त बनाउने मेरो इच्छा होइन । तर यस गम्भीर मामलाका लागि तपाईं मात्र एक हुनुहन्छ जसलाई म अनुरोध गर्नसक्छु ।

विनम्रताका साथ,

हात जोडेर,

पवित्र दलाई लामालाई खुल्लापत्र (अप्रिल ३०, २०१८)

पवित्र १४औं दलाई लामा जेत्सन जाम्फेल नवाङ लोब्सांङ येशे तेन्जिन ग्यात्सो पेल्सांग्पो,

हात जोड्दै, म निष्ठापूर्वक र विनम्रतापूर्वक तपाईंको करुणामय ध्यानको लागि अनुरोध गर्दछु ।

दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यासमा प्रतिबन्ध लागेपछि र तिब्बती सरकारको निर्वासित क्षेत्रहरुभित्र यस प्रतिबन्धलाई चलनमा ल्याउन थालिएपछि, शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुले धेरै कष्ट सहनुपरेको छ । हामीले आफ्नै मान्छेहरुबाट भेदभाव सहनुपरेको छ, र हामीलाई तपाईंको प्रवचनमा सहभागी हुन अथवा तपाईंको उपस्थिति भएको ठाउँमा आउनबाट बन्चित गरिएको छ । शुग्देन अनुयाय गर्ने अभिभावकका बालबालिकाहरुलाई तिब्बती विधालयमा हेला गरिएको वा विधालयबाट निष्कासित गरिएको छ र शुग्देन अनुयायीहरु र उनीहरुको परिवारलाई भारतको तिब्बती शरणार्थी शिविरबाट बहिष्कृत गरिएको छ । एक संरक्षकको हिसाबले आफ्नो परिवारलाई आधारभुत प्रावधानहरु र खानाको व्यवस्था मिलाउनको लागि भए पनि हामीलाई तिब्बती व्यवसायमा संलग्न हुनबाट बन्चित गरिएको छ । हामीले तिब्बती परिचय-पत्र (पहेँलो पासपोर्ट) लिन खोज्दै पनि तपाईंको तिब्बती सरकारले दिने अनावश्यक समस्याहरुको सामना गर्नु परिरहेको छ, अतिआवश्यक उपचार र औषधी लिन पनि तिब्बती अस्पतालहरुमा हामीलाई अनुमति छैन, र योग्य भिक्षुहरुलाई आफ्नै गुम्बाहरुबाट धपाइएको र जीवनभर पालना गर्छु भनेका पवित्र शपथहरुलाई तोड्न बाध्य बनाइएको छ ।

हाम्रा कष्टहरुमध्य यी केहि कष्टहरु मात्र हुन् । सन् १९९६ मा पवित्र लामा र केन्द्रिय तिब्बती प्रशासनले दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यासविरुद्ध लगाएको प्रतिबन्धदेखि म लगायत शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुले भोग्नु परेको अरु गणना गर्न नसकिने मानसिक र भावनात्मक यातनाजस्ता धेरै कष्टहरु छन् । त्यस समयदेखि पवित्र लामालाई धेरै मानिसहरुले दोर्जे शुग्देनमाथि लगाइएको प्रतिबन्ध हटाउने विवश आग्रह गरेका छन् । यो प्रजातान्त्रिक वा न्यायपूर्ण दुबै छैन, अझ यो त अमानवीय छ र यसले हरेक व्यक्तिको मौलिक हक र स्वतन्त्रतालाई चुँडेर लग्छ । यो निर्णयले पवित्र लामाले तिब्बतीहरुलाई दिनुभएको प्रजातन्त्रजस्तो अमूल्य उपहारले हुनुपर्ने परिणामभन्दा बिल्कुलै फरक दिशातिर लगेको छ र शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुलाई त्यहि प्रजातन्त्रबाट बन्चेत गर्दछ ।

हामीले जुनै धर्म माने पनि, हामी जुनै क्षेत्रबाट आएका भए पनि, र हामी अहिले जहाँ बसोबास गरे पनि हामी सबै तिब्बती हौँ । हामी सबै तपाईंलाई धेरै माया र धेरै आदर गर्छौं तर प्रतिबन्धका कारणले सन् १९९६ देखि हामीले तपाईंलाई भेट्न पाएका छैनौं र हामीलाई तपाईंको साह्रै याद आउँछ । मलाई चाहिँ पक्कै आउँछ । तपाईंले भन्नुभएको थियो कि यदि हामीले दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यास गरिराख्यौं भने हामीले तपाईंको धार्मिक वा धर्म-निरपेक्ष, कुनै पनि किसिमको प्रवचनमा सहभागी हुन पाउँदैनौँ र तपाईंसँग कुनै पनि किसिमको अन्तरक्रिया हुँदैन । हाम्रा अधिनायक तपाईं हुनुभएकाले, के म यो विनम्र अनुरोध गर्न सक्छु कि हरेक तिब्बतीले जुन आध्यात्मिक पाठ अभ्यास गरे पनि कमसेकम तपाईंको धर्म-निरपेक्ष प्रवचनहरुमा सहभागी हुन पाउनुपर्छ । अध्यात्मिक समय (अध्यात्मिक सम्बन्ध)का कारणले हामीले तपाईंको आध्यात्मिक प्रवचनमा सहभागी हुन नपाउनु भनेको बुझ्न सकिने कुरा हो । तर देशको एक साधारण जनताले आफ्ना अधिनायकले धर्मनिरपेक्ष भाषण दिइरहनुभएका बेलामा आध्यात्मिक सम्बन्ध त पक्कै बन्दैन वा आध्यात्मिक जिम्मेवारी त पक्कै पैदा हुँदैन ।

कृपा गरेर, म पूर्ण आदरका साथ आग्रह गर्छु कि कृपया तिब्बती जनतालाई आफ्ना धार्मिक आस्थाका नाममा अझ भेदभाव नगर्नुहोस् । हाम्रो धर्महरु जुन भए पनि, वा हामी नास्तिक नै भए पनि, कृपया तिब्बती समुदायमा समानता कायम हुन दिनुहोस् र दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीविरुद्धको यो कानुन खारेज गरिदिनुहोस् । सबै तिब्बतीहरुले गर्न पाउने कुराहरुबाट शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुलाई बन्चित नगरिदिनुहोस् । सबै नेताहरुले आफ्ना जनतालाई धर्म, जाति, लैंगिक अभिविन्यास, लिंग, आदि जुन भए पनि, आफ्नो भाषणहरुमा सहभागी हुन दिनुपर्दछ । सबै तिब्बतीहरुसँग पवित्र लामाका धर्मनिरपेक्ष कार्यक्रमहरुमा सहभागी हुन पाउने र तिब्बती समुदायमा समानताको आनन्द लिन पाउने अधिकार र सुविधा हुनुपर्दछ । यदि प्रतिबन्ध छैन भने, म र अरु हजारौं शुग्देन अनुयायीहरु पवित्र लामालाई प्रतिबन्ध सुरुभएको विगत दुई दशकदेखि अनुरोध गरिरहेका हुँदैन थियौँ ।

कोहिले दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीहरु चीनसँग मिलेर पवित्र लामाको समुदायभित्र र भारत र नेपालमा भएका तिब्बतीहरुबीच विभाजन ल्याउन कोसिस गरिरेहेका छन् भनि दावा गर्दछन् । त्यो कुरा केहि मानिसहरुमा लागु होला, तर संसारभरिका दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुको मामलामा यो सत्य हुन पक्कै पनि सक्दैन, र यो मेरो सत्य पक्कै पनि होइन । संसारभरिका सरकारहरुसँग गठबन्धित हुने धेरै तिब्बतीहरु छन्, तर यो शुग्देनको अभ्याससँग काहिँबाट पनि सम्बन्धित छैन, र त्यसैले कृपया त्यस समुहमा दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुलाई नगाभ्नुहोस् । दलाई लामा, वा कुनै तिब्बती वा कुनै पनि मानिसलाई हानि पुर्याउन कोहिसँग पनि म कहिल्यै गठबन्धित भएको छैन । म बौद्ध भिक्षु हुँ र म मेरा बोधिसत्वका वचनलाई गम्भीर रुपमा पालना गर्दछु । मैले पवित्र लामाको विरुद्धमा कहिल्यै बोलेको छैन । मैले निजी वा सार्वजनिक स्थान कहीं पनि पवित्र लामाको विरुद्ध नारा लगाएको छैन । पवित्र लामाका लागि मेरो मनमा भएको आस्था, आशा र विश्वास कहिल्यै गुमेको छैन । म बस त्यो दिन पर्खिरहेछु जुन दिन मलाई पवित्र लामाको प्रवचनमा सहभागी हुन र तपाईंसँग शिक्षा लिने सौभाग्य उपलब्ध गराइनेछ । वास्तवमा, मलाई १५ वर्षको उमेरदेखि नै पवित्र लामासँग कालचक्र तन्त्र सिक्ने इच्छा छ । मेरो युवावस्थादेखि नै मलाई पवित्र लामाप्रति गहिरो आस्था छ र सधैँ हुनेछ ।

पवित्र लामालाई थाहा नै छ, दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यास विगत ४०० वर्ष देखि गरिँदै आएको छ । सबैभन्दा सुरुवातमा शाक्य परम्परामा गरियो । शाक्य वंशबाट गेलुग्पाहरुले यो ग्रहण गरे । हामी दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यास गरिरहेछौँ किनकि हाम्रा गुरुहरुले यी अभ्यास अध्यात्मिक प्रतिबद्धताका रुपमा हामीलाई दिनुभएको थियो र यसको अरु कुनै कारण छैन । म दोर्जे शुग्देनको अनुयाय गर्छु किनकि मलाई मेरा मूल गुरु क्याब्जे जंग रिन्पोछेले यो अभ्यास दिनुभएको थियो र उहाँको आदेश थियो कि म यसको सधैं पालना गरूँ । मेरा मूल गुरुप्रतिको मेरो प्रतिबद्धताका कारण म दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यास गरिरहेछु । यदि मैले आफ्नो अभ्यास छोडिदिने हो भने, मैले मेरा मूल गुरुप्रतिको प्रतिबद्धता तोड्नेछु । तर यदि मैले मेरा मूल गुरुको प्रतिबद्धताको पालना गरिरहने हो भने दुर्भाग्यबस स्वत: पवित्र लामालाई अप्रिय भइरहेको रहेछु । पवित्र लामालाई अप्रसन्न बनाउनु मेरो इच्छा होइन, तर मैले मेरो अभ्यासलाई निरन्तरता दिनै पर्दछ किनकि यो मलाई मेरा मूल गुरुले आदेश दिनुभएको थियो । हामीले हाम्रा मूल गुरुहरुलाई दिएको आध्यात्मिक प्रतिबद्धता र वचन हामीले तोड्न मिल्दैन । पवित्र लामा यो पवित्र नियमका बारेमा अवगत नै हुनुहुन्छ ।

म चीनसँग गठबन्धन गर्नका लागि दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यास गरिरहेको छैन, र म कहिल्यै पनि आध्यात्मिक कारण बाहेक दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यास गर्ने र अरुलाई अभ्यास सिकाउने गर्दिन । दोर्जे शुग्देन बुद्धत्व प्राप्त गर्नुभएको प्राणी हुनहुन्छ कि हुनुहुन्न वा भर पर्न मिल्ने प्राणी हुनुहुन्छ कि हुनुहुन्न भन्ने कुरामा दार्शनिक विवाद हुन सक्छ तर हामीलाई आफ्नो धर्म भेदभाव, विभाजन र पक्षपातबिना पालना गर्न पाउने स्वतन्त्रको निर्णय गर्नमा यस कुराले फरक पर्न हुँदैन ।

कोहिले भन्छन् कि दोर्जे शुग्देनमाथि कुनै प्रतिबन्ध छैन तर पवित्र लामाका शब्दहरु निकै शक्तिशाली छन् । जब पवित्र लामाले, कयौँ पटक आफू वा दोर्जे शुग्देनमध्य कोहि एकलाई छान्न शशक्त रुपमा भन्नुभयो, तब यसले ठुलो प्रभाव पार्यो र मानिसहरु छान्न बाध्य भए । स्वाभाविक रुपमा, जसले दोर्जे शुग्देन छाने, उनीहरु अपहेलित, घृणित र बदनाम भए र तपाईंको शत्रु करार भए, जुन सत्य होइन । पवित्र लामाले विगत २० वर्षमा कयौं ठाउँमा मानिसहरुलाई दोर्जे शुग्देनको अभ्यास त्याग्न आदेश दिनुभएको छ । यदि उनीहरुले सो नगरेमा, उनीहरुले तपाईंको कुनै पनि प्रवचनमा भाग लिन पाउँदैनन् जुन निकै दुखद छ । किनकि तिब्बती समुदायमा तपाईंको शब्द नै नियम हो । तपाईंले आफैंले खुलेर यो प्रतिबन्ध नै हो भन्नु नै पर्दैन, तपाईंले आफ्नो अप्रसन्नता व्यक्त गर्नु नै प्रतिबन्धको बराबर हुन्छ । जसले शुग्देन अभ्यासलाई निरन्तरता दिन खोज्छन्, उनीहरुलाई आफ्नो धर्म पालना गरेबापत अलग पारिन्छ र अपहेलित गरिन्छ, र प्रजातन्त्रमा यस्तो हुने हुँदैन । तिब्बती समुदायहरुमा तपाईंका शब्दहरु निकै शक्तिशाली छन् । तपाईंबाट आउने एक अप्रसन्नताको शब्द पनि प्रतिबन्ध जतिकै हुन्छ । पश्चिमका नेताहरुको यस्तो प्रभाव छैन होला, तर तिब्बती समुदायमा यस्तो हुन्छ जुन पवित्र लामालाई पनि राम्ररी थाहा छ ।

दोर्जे शुग्देनको अनुयाय गरेकै कारणले मलाई सामाजिक सञ्जालमा आक्रमण गरिएको छ । सयौँ निर्दोष भिक्षुहरु यसै कारणले गुम्बाहरुबाट निस्कासित भएका छन् । सन् २००९ मा, अल जजिरा, एक प्रख्यात अन्तराष्ट्रिय संचार संस्थाले अनुसन्धान गरेपछि दोर्जे शुग्देनका अनुयायीहरुले भारत, नेपाल, र विश्वभर कष्ट खेप्नु परेको छ भन्ने निष्कर्ष निकालेको थियो । अल जजिराले आफ्नो समाचारमा यो कुरालाई स्पष्ट रुपमा प्रकाशित गरेको थियो । आजको दिनमा आएर, कोहि पनि आफ्नो धर्मका लागि अपहेलित र आक्रमित हुनु हुँदैन । म आदरपूर्वक भन्न चाहन्छु कि कुनै पनि नेताले, चाहे धार्मिक वा धर्म-निरपेक्ष, कुनै धर्म वा आध्यात्मिक पथको आलोचना गर्नु हुँदैन किनकि यसले मानिसहरुमा विभाजन ल्याउँदछ । सबै नेताहरुले प्रजातन्त्र, समानता र न्यायको सम्मानमा, सबै मानिसहरुलाई स्वीकार गर्नुपर्छ, चाहे उनीहरु कुनै पनि धर्म, जाति, लिंग आदिका हुन् । भारतस्थित तिब्बती समुदायमा पनि हामीलाई यस्तै खालको प्रजातन्त्रको आवश्यकता छ । तनाव र अरु धेरै हानिकारक कारणले ग्रस्त यो सानो संसारमा हामीलाई एकता, समन्वयता र सहनशीलता आवश्यक छ । कृपया आफ्ना जनतालाई बिना पक्षपात आफ्नै इच्छाले कुनै पनि धर्म पालना गर्न वा नगर्न दिनुहोस् ।

हामीलाई थाहा छ कि तपाईंले तिबब्तीहरुका लागि गर्न मिल्ने सबै गरिरहनुभएको छ तर कहिलेकाहिँ अन्जानमै एउटा समुहलाई लाभ हुने तपाईंको एउटा फैसलाले अर्को कुनै समूहलाई हानि पुर्याइरहेको हुनसक्छ । दोर्जे शुग्देनविरुद्धको प्रतिबन्धले मलगायत एक पक्षका तिब्बती समूहहरुलाई निकै कष्ट भइरहेको छ । कृपया यो बुझिदिनुहोस् ।

संसार धेरै परिवर्तन भइसक्यो र हामीले उत्तर र दक्षिण कोरियाका नेताहरु पनि मिलेर आफ्नो सम्बन्ध सुधार्न भेट गरेको देख्यौँ । यो सन् २०१८ को अप्रिल, अर्थात् केहि दिन अघि मात्र भएको हो । विगतमा यस्तो होला भनेर कसैले कल्पना पनि गर्न सकेको थिएन । उत्तर र दक्षिण कोरियाका दुबै जनताहरुका लागि यो एक ठुलो समाचार हो । मेरो इच्छा छ कि उनीहरु दुबै फेरि मित्रराष्ट्र बनुन् । यसरी नै, हामी पनि तपाईंसँग पुन:मिलन गर्न सक्छौं भन्ने मलाई पूरा विश्वास छ । दक्षिण र उत्तर कोरियाले यस ऐतिहासिक भेट गर्नका लागि कयौँ पहाड चढ्नु पर्यो र मलाई लाग्दैन कि पवित्र लामा र दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुबीच यति धेरै मतभेद छ र त्यसैले मलाई लाग्छ कि हामी फेरी एक हुन सक्छौं ।

हामीले यो पनि देखिरहेका छौँ कि चीन र भारतबीचको दशाकौंको तनावपूर्ण सम्बन्धपछि, भारतका माननीय प्रधानमन्त्री नरेन्द्र मोदी र चीनका माननीय राष्ट्रपति जी जिन्पिंग अब आफ्ना मतभेदहरुलाई हटाउने क्रममा छन् । शीतयुद्ध, अशान्ति, अविश्वासले कसैको पनि भलो गरेको छैन । चीन र भारतलाई आफ्नो सम्बन्धमा सुधार ल्याउन समय लाग्छ । विगतमा यो कसरी हुने होला भन्ने कुरामा शंका थियो, तर अहिले यो भइरहेछ । चीन र भारतको मित्रताले संसारलाई सकारात्मक प्रभाव पार्नेछ । मतभेद भएका पक्षहरुको मिलाप भएको समाचार आउनु सम्भव छ र अत्यावश्यक पनि छ । यदि यस्ता ठुला नेताहरुले आफ्नो उदार पक्ष देखाएर पहिला भएका मतभेदहरुमा सुधार ल्याउन सक्छन् भने, तपाईंले आफ्नो मनमा, तपाईं र दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुबीच भएका मतभेदभन्दा माथि उठेर सबै दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुसँगको सम्बन्धमा सुधार आउने बाटो पत्ता लगाउन सक्नुहुन्छ । हामीलाई तपाईंसँग पुन:मिलन गर्ने इच्छा छ । आध्यात्मिक अभिविन्यास जे भए पनि कृपया आफ्ना जनतालाई एकिकृत गर्नुहोस् ।

हालै अप्रिल २५, २०१८ मा पवित्र लामाले चीनले छानेका पान्चेन लामालाई अप्रत्यक्ष रुपमा स्वीकार्नु भएको छ र उच्च लामाहरुका एकै समयमा धेरै अवतार हुन सक्छन् भनेर जाम्यांग खेंत्से वान्ग्पोको उदाहरण दिनुभएर चीनले छानेका पान्चेन लामालाई अप्रत्यक्ष रुपमा मान्यता दिनुभएको छ । पवित्र लामाले भन्नुभयो कि दुइ पान्चेन लामा हुन् सक्छन् र मैले यो सुक्ष्म तर गहन सन्देश बुझें । पवित्र लामाले मान्यता दिनुभएको पान्चेन लामा र चीनले मान्यता दिएका पान्चेन लामा दुबै पवित्र १० औँ पान्चेन लामाका अवतार हुन् सक्छन् । यो अतिउत्तम खबर हो र पवित्र लामाले चीनसँगको सम्बन्ध सुधार गर्नका लागि बढाउनुभएको ठुलो हात हो । चिनियाँ पान्चेन लामालाई अप्रत्यक्ष रुपमा मान्यता दिनुभएको खबर सुनेर म निकै खुशी छु र सायद यसले पवित्र लामा र चीनबीचमा सम्बन्ध सुधार गर्ने संवादको वातावरण सिर्जना हुन सहयोग गर्नेछ जसले सबै तिब्बतीहरुलाई लाभ हुनेछ । सायद यसले पवित्र लामाको सपनाले संकेत गरेजस्तै पवित्र लामालाई चीन र तिब्बत फर्काउन र पोतला महलमा बस्ने बाटो बन्न सहयोग गर्नेछ । म यो होस् भनेर कामना गर्दछु किनकी पवित्र लामाले यो होस् भनेर कामना गर्नुहुन्छ । म यो होस् भनेर साँचै चाहन्छु किनकि मलाई थाहा छ कि तिब्बती मानिसहरुजस्तै पवित्र लामालाई पनि तिब्बतको सम्झना आउँदछ, जसरि शुग्देन र शुग्देन-बाहेकका सबै तिब्बतीहरुलाई तपाईंको सम्झना आउँछ ।

त्यसैले हात जोड्दै, घुँडा टेक्दै, म अनुरोध गर्दछु कि पवित्र लामाले सबै आधिकारिक स्थानहरुबाट र धर्मशालामा लेखिएको केन्द्रीय तिब्बती प्रशासनको साहित्यमा भएको दोर्जे शुग्देनसँग सम्बन्धित सबै किसिमको धब्बा, नकारात्मक वचन र नकारात्मक सन्दर्भहरु मेटाइदिनुहोस् ताकि दोर्जे शुगदेनमाथि भएको प्रतिबन्धको अन्त्य होओस् । म पवित्र लामालाई विनम्र अनुरोध गर्दछु कि धार्मिक अभिविन्यास जुन भए पनि सबै तिब्बतीलाई एकिकृत गरियोस् । कृपया हामीलाई तपाईं र दोर्जे शुग्देनबीच छान्न बाध्य नबनाउनुहोस् । हामीलाई छान्ने वा एक वा अर्कोसँग टाढा हुने इच्छा छैन । सहि किसिमको प्रजातन्त्रमा हामीलाई छान्न बाध्य गर्न पाइन्न । गादेन गुम्बाका कयौँ वृद्ध भिक्षुहरु मुटु टुटेर बित्नुभयो किनकी उहाँहरुलाई पवित्र लामा र दोर्जे शुग्देनबीच छनोट गर्ने इच्छा थिएन र यो हामीले देखेका छौँ । कयौं शताब्दीदेखि, गेलुग वंशका कयौँ पुस्ताले दुबै दलाई लामा र दोर्जे शुग्देनको पूजा गर्दथे । म मनबाटै यहि निरन्तर भइरहोस् भन्ने चाहन्छु । हामीलाई फेरि एकिकृत गर्ने शक्ति तपाईंमा छ ।

समयहुन्जेल नै यसको बारेमा केहि गरिहल्नुहोस् । हामीले जुनसुकै धर्म माने पनि हाम्रो अधिनायक भइदिनुहोस् । हे येशेनोर्बु (इच्छा पुरा गर्ने रत्न), कृपया हामीलाई तपाईंलाई फेरि भेट्न अनुमति दिनुहोस् र तपाईंको स्वर्ण आशिर्वादको आनन्द लिन दिनुहोस् । किनकि यति धेरै संसार परिवर्तन हुने घटनाहरु भइरहेका छन्, म दण्डवत प्रणाम गर्दै विनम्र अनुरोध गर्दछु कि दोर्जे शुग्देनमाथिको प्रतिबन्ध हटाइदिनुहोस् र दोर्जे शुग्देन अनुयायीहरुमाथि लगाइएका सबै कलंकहरु मेटिदिनुहोस् । दोर्जे शुग्देन र उहाँका अनुयायीहरुको विरुद्ध लेखिएका सबै नकारात्मक किताब, प्रवचन, तपाईंको आधिकारिक वेबसाइटमा भएका जानकारीहरुको नाश गरिदिनुहोस् । एक प्रजातान्त्रिक अधिनायक र सरकारलाई यो सुहाउनेछ ।

तपाईं अवलोकितेश्वरको अत्यन्त करुणामय, महान अवतार हुनुहन्छ । तपाईंको बुद्धिमानी र समुन्द्रझैँ करुणाको प्रयोग गरेर कृपया तपाईंको जनतालाई एकिकृत गर्नुहोस् । हामीले जुन धर्म पालना गरे पनि हामी सबैलाई एकिकृत गरिदिनुहोस् । म मेरो आत्माको सबैभन्दा गहिरो स्थानबाट पवित्र लामालाई विनम्र अनुरोध गर्दछु र आग्रह गर्दछु कि यस चिठ्ठीबाट रिसानी नगर्नुहोस् किनकि तपाईंको पवित्र मस्तिष्कलाई अशान्त बनाउने मेरो इच्छा होइन । तर यस गम्भीर मामलाका लागि तपाईं मात्र एक हुनुहन्छ जसलाई म अनुरोध गर्नसक्छु ।

    Mantras are sacred verbalized words that invoke the protection and blessings of the deity to whom the mantra is ascribed. Mantras are also the manifestations of Buddhas in the form of ‘sounds’, hence the various mantras of Dorje Shugden contain the essence of the Protector.

    Dear friends,

    Tibet has produced many powerful meditations, rituals and guidelines to help us gain spiritual protection, gain wisdom and higher states of consciousness. In general Tibet has produced many powerful methods for the growth of our spiritual evolution. Dorje Shugden is an angel, a saint, a powerful spiritual protector-warrior who originated 350 years ago when a highly awakened Tibetan Lama fulfilled his vows to become a special being to grant protection, wisdom, material needs, safety when travelling (normal and astral travel) and spiritual awakening. Both the Great 5th Dalai Lama and the current His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama composed short yet effective prayers to invoke upon the power and blessings of this special saint and protector. One can recite either one of the prayers that you feel suits you, anytime or even daily. When you feel a special need for help, you can recite either prayer anytime. When you are feeling down, afraid or just need a blessing, you can recite them. After reciting either invocation, it is good to chant the mantra of Dorje Shugden: Om Benza Wiki Bitana Soha.

    You do not have to be a Buddhist or practitioner of any religion to invoke upon the blessings and protection of this special enlightened and awakened angel Dorje Shugden. He helps all without discrimination or bias as he is filled with compassion and love. Divinity has no boundaries, they help all who call upon them.

    Enclosed are the prayers in English, Chinese and Tibetan.

    May you be safe, protected and blessed.

    Tsem Rinpoche

    “The 4th Zhabdrung Rinpoche of Bhutan and Dorje Shugden” blog post which was published June 8, 2018 already has exactly at the moment 152,744 views!! Over 150k views!!! Amazing!! The views will keep growing as time elapses of course.

    This indicates many Bhutanse and Buddhists around the world will now know that Dorje Shugden is connected to Bhutan and their Kagyu Lineage. Dorje Shugden was promoted by the highest lama of Bhutan namely the 4th Zhabdrung Rinpoche himself. So Dorje Shugden will help and protect anyone and is not sectarian as they accuse him to be. People in the Kagyu school of Buddhism also practised Dorje Shugden and Dorje Shugden assisted them lovingly. Dorje Shugden being an emanation of Manjushri will help anyone who calls upon him regardless of their background and religion.

    Good job to our writers, researchers, editors, technical team, supporting team and Kechara people who promoted this blog post on social media. Now more will come to understand how pervasive Dorje Shugden is in all the lineages of Tibetan Buddhism although the Tibetan leadership in-exile tries to hide this truth. Thank you everyone for promoting Dorje Shugden to benefit many. We were all very harmonious before the unethical ban against Dorje Shugden practitioners. Since the inception of the ban in 1996, there has been no benefits and instead so much disharmony among Tibetan Buddhists around the world. Many hundreds have spoken up about this point where we want harmony back. There should never be a ban against any spiritual practice.

    于2018年6月8日发表的《不丹国第四世夏仲仁波切与多杰雄登》的博文至今已经有 152,744次的浏览量!!也就是超过了15万次的浏览量!!这个数字肯定还会随着时间而增长。

    这表示很多不丹人和全世界的佛教徒现在已经知道了多杰雄登和不丹以及他们的噶举派传承是有紧密联系的。多杰雄登是被不丹的最高级别的喇嘛夏仲仁波切本身所推崇的。这显示了多杰雄登是会帮助和保护任何人的,而祂不是像他人所指控那样的充满宗派主义。佛教的噶举派的修行者也修持多杰雄登,而多杰雄登也很怀爱地帮助他们。多杰雄登是文殊菩萨的化身,祂将无视任何宗教和背景地去帮助任何召唤祈请祂的人们。

    我们的写作、搜集资料,编辑、技术、辅助等的人员们和推广这篇博文的克切拉人们,你们做得好!虽然流亡藏人领袖们尝试掩盖事实,但现在更多的人将了解到多杰雄登在所有藏传佛教的传承中是多么的普及了。感谢大家努力推广多杰雄登以造福大众。在这个不道德的多杰雄登禁令出现之前,我们都是很和谐融洽的。自从禁令在1996年开始之后,它为全世界的藏传佛教徒没有带来任何利益,而只有更多的不和谐。成千上万的人已经对该禁令发声,要求重建和谐。对于任何心灵修行,是从来就不该有任何禁令的。

    His Eminence Kyabje Dagom Rinpoche’s incarnation is in Lhasa visiting. He is visiting the 350-year-old Trode Khangsar chapel dedicated to Dorje Shugden. He is paying homage to the powerful statue of Dorje Shugden housed in this sacred chapel. Both the chapel and statue of Dorje Shugden were commissioned by His Holiness the 5th Dalai Lama. The Great 5th Dalai Lama also composed a prayer to be recited daily to Dorje Shugden.

    Dagom Rinpoche’s previous lives were great masters, scholars and practitioners of Dorje Shugden. Now this new incarnation of Dagom Rinpoche is offering gold on the face of Dorje Shugden in homage and worship to this very sacred statue of Dorje Shugden housed in Lhasa for the last 350 years. This is a very traditional Tibetan method of paying homage to holy images, which is by offering gold with prayers.

    The Tibetan leadership wrongly says if you practise Dorje Shugden you will take rebirth into the three lower realms. Hundreds of lamas from the Sakya, Kagyu and Gelugpa schools of Buddhism have practised Dorje Shugden and their incarnations returned. Many of the incarnations are recognised by His Holiness the Dalai Lama himself. So this shows if you practise Dorje Shugden, only benefits come and no harm will come. The very fact Dagom Rinpoche’s incarnation is back, is clear evidence that Dorje Shugden’s practice is beneficial.

    May Dagom Rinpoche’s current incarnation live a very long life.

    尊贵的扎贡仁波切的现任转世正在拜访拉萨。他拜访了一座供奉给多杰雄登并且拥有350年历史的护法殿”布旦康萨”。他在向这座神圣护法殿里的强大多杰雄登像顶礼。该座护法殿和多杰雄登圣像是由第五世达赖喇嘛指示而造的。伟大的第五世达赖喇嘛也亲笔撰写了多杰雄登的每日祈愿文。

    扎贡仁波切的前几世都是伟大的上师,学者兼多杰雄登的修持者。现在扎贡仁波切的现任转世在为这尊已经安奉在拉萨350年并且非常神圣的多杰雄登圣像的脸上供养金漆,以示顶礼和膜拜。这种供养金并祈愿的做法是西藏为圣像顶礼非常传统的做法。

    流亡藏人领袖们说如果你修持多杰雄登就将投生三恶道,那是错误的。佛教派系——萨迦派、噶举派、格鲁派的上百名喇嘛们都修持了多杰雄登,而且他们也都转世回来了,而其中有很多转世还是达赖喇嘛亲自认证的。这明显显示了如果你修持多杰雄登,是百利无一弊的。扎贡仁波切转世回来了,就已经是很确凿的证据显示多杰雄登的修持是有利的。

    愿今世的扎贡仁波切健康长寿。

    Divination (‘mo’) Text by Dorje Shugden

    This is an important divination (‘mo’) text composed by Dorje Shugden himself. Dorje Shugden took trance of the Choyang Dulzin oracle lama, the senior oracle of Gaden Shartse Monastery, and instantly on the spot composed this text within two hours.

    The divination text contains information on how to use dice to do divination for the future and is known to be highly accurate. When practitioners use this text, they will be in direct contact with Dorje Shugden to get answers to questions about the future. It is for those who have good samaya with Dorje Shugden and are free of the eight worldly dharmas to be of benefit to others in divining the future.

    The Library of Tibetan Works and Archives is in Dharamsala, which is broken into two parts. Upper Dharamsala is where the Dalai Lama’s palace is located with his audience room and main prayer hall. It is also the location of the Dialectics School, Gaden Shartse’s guesthouse, restaurants, tourist hotels and main tourist areas.

    A short ride down takes you to the lower part of Dharamsala where the Tibetan government is located. It is the location of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile, Nechung monastery, the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives, the Tibetan arts centre…it’s all in one area. And the reason why it’s split into upper and lower Dharamsala is because the area is mountainous.

    The Library of Tibetan Works and Archives was established by the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government to preserve all the ancient texts – both secular and spiritual – of Tibet and in the process, translate them into various languages like English. This book, Overview of Buddhist Tantra, by Panchen Sonam Drakpa was one of the books translated into English. What’s very interesting is that the book very clearly says that Panchen Sonam Drakpa’s previous life is Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen, one of the five main disciples of Lama Tsongkhapa. It also says that after that, he was Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen.

    So the book is basically saying that Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen, Panchen Sonam Drakpa and Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen – the three Drakpas – are of the same mindstream.

    Now that’s very peculiar because if Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen’s previous life is Panchen Sonam Drakpa, the renowned composer of 45 volumes of Dharma texts, the abbot of three monasteries AND the 15th Gaden Tripa, the holder of Lama Tsongkhapa’s throne…if that’s the case, how can Panchen Sonam Drakpa take rebirth as Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen and become an evil spirit and have a negative mind?

    Prior to Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen, he was Panchen Sonam Drakpa and before that, he was Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen, a heart disciple of Lama Tsongkhapa. How can a heart disciple of Lama Tsongkhapa reincarnate as the erudite master Panchen Sonam Drakpa, and then die and reincarnate as Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen…and then Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen, due to a bad and negative prayer, become the evil spirit Dorje Shugden? How is that possible? Logically, it’s not.

    What’s incredible is that all of this was printed by the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives under the Dalai Lama’s guidance. They contradict themselves because on one hand, the Tibetan leaders say Dorje Shugden is an evil spirit. On the other hand they’re printing a book saying that Panchen Sonam Drakpa, whose later incarnation became Dorje Shugden, is of this illustrious mindstream.

    So how can the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives, which is under the auspices of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government, print the translation of a book composed by the previous incarnation of a so-called evil spirit? How can they then say in the book that Panchen Sonam Drakpa’s previous life is Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen, and his next life was Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen?

    Prior to the Dorje Shugden ban and controversy, everyone in Tibet knew that Dorje Shugden is Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen, that Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen is Panchen Sonam Drakpa, and that Panchen Sonam Drakpa is Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen. The three Drakpas, they are one mindstream emanating again and again to benefit other beings.

    And as we all know, Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen became Dorje Shugden so it totally doesn’t make sense to call him an evil spirit, then highlight all of his previous lives as erudite masters, and publish all of this information under their own library. So you can see the contradictions. You can read all of this for yourself in Overview of Buddhist Tantra, which was printed by the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives.

    OVERVIEW OF BUDDHIST TANTRA

    GENERAL PRESENTATION OF THE CLASSES OF TANTRA,
    CAPTIVATING THE MINDS OF THE FORTUNATE ONES

    rgyud sde spyi’i rnam par bzhag pa
    skal bzang gi yid ‘phrog ces bya ba bzhugs so

    BY
    PANCHEN SONAM DRAGPA
    (Pan-chen bSod-nams grags-pa, 1478-1554)

    O Choje Sonam Dragpa Pel! (Chos-rje bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal!)
    In the vast expanse of Your bodhi-mind,
    The mind that the Buddhas have lauded for as many as
    one hundred times,
    You have developed “merit” shining like the sun.
    Through Your skill in learning, debate and writing,
    As illuminating as one hundred thousand sun rays,
    You have developed in You a complete knowledge of
    the entire sutras and tantras,
    Resembling a garden of flowers in full bloom.
    The power of Your speech is like the sun;
    The fame of your name has reached the three realms of
    this world.
    O Sonam Dragpa, the teacher of teachers!
    I bow down at your feet.

    In the vast garden of Your great teachings,
    The intelligent young people gather for
    The ‘six ultimates’ and the ‘four modes of transmission,’
    Just as they are attracted to
    The one hundred thousand types of nectar
    Dripping from a flower of one hundred petals.
    May I be able to experience
    The taste of the secret tantra!

    Panchen Choje Sonam Dragpa Pel (Panchen Chos-rje bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal), the holder of sutra and Vajrayana teachings, was a master whose outstanding learning and spiritual accomplishments are well known by all the learned ones in Tibet. His first incarnation came in the form of one of the five prestigious disciples of Lord Tsongkhapa (Tsong-kha-pa) and became known as Vinaya Holder (Dulzin) Dragpa Gyaltsen (Gragspa rgyal-mtshan). Then came Panchen Sonam Dragpa Pel (Panchen bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal), the author of the present text. The next was Nagri Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen (mNga’-ris sPrul-sku Grags-pa rgyal-mtshan). In this way, a line of his incarnations, each with the Dragpa (gragspa) surname, followed successively.

    Panchen Sonam Dragpa Pel (Panchen bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal) was born in the 14th century in Tsetang (rTsed-thang) in the Lhoka (Lho-kha) region of Central Tibet. He entered the great seat of learning, Sera Thekchenling (Se-ra theg-chen-gling) monastic university, where he became the personal disciple of spiritual master Donyo Dangden (Dhon-yod dang-ldan) and His Holiness the Second Dalai Lama Gedun Gyatso (dGe-‘dun rgya-mtsho). Under them, he studied the entire teachings of sutra, tantra and their commentaries, and became known for his outstanding learning. He also received from them the empowerments, reading transmissions, guides and instructions of the entire body of spiritual training. On becoming the fully blessed one, the Dalai Lama appointed him the abbot of the Loseling (Blo-gsalgling) college, one of the four colleges of Drepung (‘Bras-dpung)- the most prestigious monastic university in Tibet before 1959, with over 10,000 monks on its register. He continued to be the abbot of this college for the next six years; and after him the tenure for each of his successors in this position was fixed for a period of six years, a rule that is followed even today.

    He was then appointed the head of the Gelugpa (dGe-lugs-pa) order, the throne holder of Gaden (dGa’-ldan), thus becoming the 15th regent of Lord Tsongkhapa (Tsong-khapa), the second Buddha. In his eulogy to him, Khedrub Gelek Pelsang (mKhas-grub dGe-legs dpal- bzang) says:

    O Lama, the second successor of the Unsubduable One,
    The regent of the Lord of Dharma,
    You are the one who made the virtuous qualities thrive;
    You are the one who ascended to the golden throne uplifted
    by the fearless lions.
    May Your success thrive forever!

    He continued to be the throne holder for the next seven years, during which time he promoted the spread of Lord Tsongkhapa’s (Tsong-kha-pa) precious teachings, the Gelug (dGe-lugs) tradition, across the land in all directions. He also paid special attention to the practice of monastic rules and the learning and meditation of Buddhism in the monasteries such as Sera (Se-ra), Drepung (‘Bras-spungs), Kyomolung (sKyo-mo-lung), Phagmo Chode (Phag-mo chos-sde), Nyeding (Nye-sdings), Ödna (’Od-sna) and Chöde Rinchen (Chos-sde rin-chen) etc. and improved them to a great extent. He taught the Third Dalai Lama Sonam Gyatso (bSod-nams rGya-mtsho) as the latter’s spiritual master. It was from him that the Dalai Lama received the name Sonam (bSod-nams).

    His contributions in the literary field are enormous; and, indeed, they are the most valuable of all his contributions. Tsongkhapa (Tsong-kha-pa) has rightly said:

    Of all one’s deeds,
    The ‘deeds of speech’ are the most valuable.

    Panchen Sonam Dragpa Pel (Panchen bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal) was a person with an extraordinary talent for teaching, debate and writing. In his colophon to Bu mey chi don zab don sel wey dron mey (dBu ma’i spyi don zab don gsal ba’i sgron me), he wrote:

    In the field of teaching, I am [next to none!] Knowing that
    I would outdo them in this field, Arya Asanga and his
    brother transmigrated into another realm.

    In the field of debate, I am [next to none!] Knowing that
    I would find out the areas they had contradicted and
    that I would examine them and put forth my arguments,
    the logician Dignaga (Digh-naga) and Dharmakirti tactfully
    bypassed me.

    In the field of writing, I am [next to none!] [In my eyes,]
    Arya-sura was just good at spreading the works, which
    are like ‘disputes~ between an insect and a field.’

    I am the learned man. Peerless in the field of teaching,
    debate and writing!

    For some this passage might sound utterly nonsensical, but the most learned master of our age, the talented teacher, logician and writer, the late tutor to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Yongdzin Trijang Dorjechang (Yongs-‘dzin Khri-byang rDorje-‘Chang), said: “Now, some people of our time, who consider themselves learned scholars, think that this is utter nonsense; but they are wrong.”

    Panchen Sonam Dragpa Pel (Panchen bSod-nams grags-pa-dpal) wrote over 45 volumes of books dealing with many different subjects, such as the commentaries on the sutras and tantras, the saddhana manuals of the tutelary deities, history, religious history and so forth. Among these, one that is very important for all who wish to learn and meditate on the path-of the practical aspect of Buddhism in general and that of Vajrayana in particular is the Leg shey gyu de chi nam par shagpa kelsang gi yi trod (Legs bshad rgyud sde spyi’i rnam par bzhag pa skal bzang gi yid ‘phrod). In this book, he has explained precisely how the four tantras differ from one another. He has also fully described the stages of the two spontaneous path practices of the Vajrayana tradition, dealing with the ‘six ultimates’ and the ‘four modes of transmission’, thus interpreting without mistake the intention of Adhi-Buddha Vajradhara.

    May the reprint of this text, which the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives is publishing herewith, bring peace and happiness in this world!

    A Daily Request for Wealth, Peace and Protection

    Composed by H.E. Tsem Rinpoche

    In the heavens there are myriad manifestations of the divine. All those manifestations specifically show us different aspects of divinity in order to be of benefit to all living beings. All the rupakaya forms of the divine have compassion, skillful means and wisdom. We invoke upon them whether we are happy, sad, down, lost, fulfilled, confused, empty, and during the whole range of emotions we constantly experience due to an untrained mind.

    Understanding our nature, Great Wisdom Being Dorje Shugden, therefore all the more so, please hold us close to your bosom as an only child to a parent.

    Though the manifestations of the divine need no offerings and gifts from us, we offer you supreme Manjushri Dorje Shugden a libation of tea, incense and mantras, in order to ask you to bless us, to be a part of our lives, to abide in our dwellings and to give us signs, omens and portents of both good and bad. When the negative arises, quell them immediately. Please increase the positive for my weary and worn mind as I lay my hopes in you.

    When difficulties, problems and confusion arise, we ask you, who is but the culmination of all that is powerful, holy and omniscient to bless myself, family, loved ones, environment and even my pets. May I see wisdom, find hope, and be at peace.

    I request you, O Divine Bhagavān Dorje Shugden, who wears a round dome hat and the three robes of a saffroned bhikshu, who wields a sword of liberty, justice and wisdom and clutches a wish-fulfilling jewel, who rides on a supreme lion of subjugation of all that is negative, to fulfill my wishes. I understand my wishes may not be the best, so I surrender to your wisdom for the outcome though it may not be what I have in mind. Please bless myself and everyone that we may enter into the supreme city of liberation.

    Great Bhagavān Dorje Shugden, I request you sincerely from my heart to be a part of my life, bless my home, and grant me wisdom, solace and comfort, that I might be of service to others without agenda, and that I may focus out onto others and not be fixated on myself, creating more problems for all that I hold dear.

    Bless me to become kinder, wiser, more compassionate, tolerant and very forgiving to all those who hurt and love me. In order to become close to you, Dorje Shugden, we must surrender the banal. We must abandon fixed views, projections and rigidity. Lastly, in my final moment when I leave this plane of existence, only the positive actions I have done will matter as everything and everyone will be left behind. Let me realise this and act upon this now! At this crucial moment, please may I have a vision of yourself, the powerful and merciful Dorje Shugden, to take me to where I may course in the sky to continue my journey of spiritual waxing.

    I offer you saffron-coloured tea and my faith to fulfill my prayers and gain siddhis. By reciting your mantra, may healing, peace, love, long life, protection and perfect view of sunyata arise.

    Mantra of fulfillment, peace and wisdom:

    OM BENZA WIKI BITANA SOHA

    (It is good to recite this mantra daily as much as you like or your timing allows.)

    I dedicate this supreme heartfelt prayer to the all-knowing Celestial and Supreme Protector Dorje Shugden, that I may quickly become a being of light, compassion, love and enlightenment.

    Please play the audio included here to follow along with the prayer.

    Living with my wife, whose world is meticulously painted with the hues of OCD, is a journey that intertwines the essence of love with the complexities of the human mind. Her relentless pursuit of cleanliness and order, transforming even the most negligible corner into a testament of organization, often dances on the fine line between admiration and frustration. The sight of her steering clear from trash bins as if they were labyrinths of chaos, serves as a poignant reminder of the battles she fights within. Yet, it’s through these very battles that I’ve learned the profound language of patience and the unspoken strength of support. Therapy, in its gentle embrace, has been a beacon of light for her, guiding her through the stormy seas of OCD. It has not only offered her solace but has also unveiled the strength of her spirit, teaching us both the beauty of resilience. As she journeys through the pathways of healing, I stand by her, a testament to the power of love and the enduring promise of hope. Together, we navigate the complexities of her world, discovering that within the challenges lie opportunities for growth, understanding, and an unbreakable bond. https://www.mindfullyaliveonline.com/obsessive-compulsive-disorder-ocd/

    Venerable Ajahn Chah was a Thai Buddhist teacher of the Buddhadhamma and a founder of two major monasteries in the Thai Forest Tradition. Well respected and loved as a man of great wisdom, he was also instrumental in establishing Theravada Buddhism in the West. Interesting life story, how he chose to leave the settled monastic life and became a wandering ascetic. Walking across Thailand, lived in forests, caves and cremation grounds while learning from the meditation monks of the Forest of various monasteries. He wandered through the countryside in quest of quiet and secluded places for developing meditation. He even lived in tiger and cobra infested jungles, using reflections on death to penetrate to the true meaning of life. After years of wandering, Venerable Ajahn Chah established a monastery where he taught simple, practice-based form of meditation, and attracted a numerous of students including western foreigners. He was one of the greatest Dhamma teachers of the modern era. His wise teachings have continued to guide thousands of people along the path of Dharma. Venerable Ajahn Chah’s teachings of the Thai Forest Tradition gradually spread across all over the world. Several of Ajahn Chah’s Western students have since established monasteries throughout the world. Just in Thailand itself, there are more than 300 branch monasteries in Ajahn Chah’s tradition. Ven erable Ajahn Chah used his ill health as a teaching point, emphasizing that it was a living example of the impermanence of all things and reminded people to endeavour to find a true refuge within themselves. The legacy of Venerable Ajahn Chah’s teachings and legacy continues into the modern age.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    Wonderful blog written on the practice of Kalarupa for us to understand better. As an emanation of Manjushri, Kalarupa’s practice helps us to destroy ignorance and to develop wisdom overcoming our anger and suffering . Awesome Kalarupa manifested in multiple forms to help sentient beings who personifies enlightenment by the conquest of anger. Kalarupa also regard as one of the three main Dharma protectors of the Gelugpa is extremely fierce and ugly, and tames all kinds of spiritual ugliness. The fierceness of his iconography teaches us to remind ourselves that all the causes and effects of anger arising from ignorance are dreadful and distorted.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor Antionette for this detailed sharing,

    Nepal is a very spiritual country, having a huge Dorje Shugden mural in Kathmandu, is indeed a big achievement for Kechara. Located on Charkhal Road in Dilli Bazaar, the mural can be found midway between our two Dorje Shugden chapels which are in Putalisadak and Chabahil. It is also very close to one of Kathmandu’s largest shopping malls. Many locals , tourist will be able to connect them to a powerful deity that is so closely associated with their culture. Well the mural not only beautiful but also full of symbolism and everyone merely by seeing it is blessed. Thanks to those talented artists and generous sponsors making it a success.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on. Letting go helps us to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. A reminder for us all to go of attachment and meditating on impermanence and emptiness. We are to relinquish the domination of our ego and its habits to transform ourselves. A great reminder not to waste our previous life.
    Quoted Ceasing to do evil, Cultivating the good, Purifying the heart .
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing such a meaningful teachings with folded hands.

I was a logistics manager who lives in Lancaster, S.C. and works about an hour’s drive away, in Charlotte, N.C., I stopped at a store to buy a scratch-off lottery ticket during my lunch break, because Dr Lucas gave me all the assurance that the numbers are not going to fail after I did all he asked me to do. Dr lucas is a powerful Dr that is on a mission to eradicate poverty from people’s lives and i have confirmed that by winning $10 million with the numbers he provided for me, it is my promise to tell the world about my experience with Dr Lucas and that’s what I’m doing now, you can win the lottery fast with the help of Dr Lucas he is tested and trusted Email: Drlucasspelltemple@gmail. com or WhatsApp +234 904 794 3567 he will help you.

    We are members of the Buddhist Temple in Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur and we have been issued membership by the president (DATUK YIP KUM FOOK), we are very sad because we are the foundation of this Temple

    Now we can know who is always messing with people, and he always cheats money and women, he even uses Buddhism to find money.

    Also, need to be careful with his brother-in-law (Simon Low Kok Meng) because he is a spy (CID) for DATUK YIP KUM FOOK and we will write some letters to AGONG SULTAN IBRAHIM IBN ALMARHUM SULTAN ISKANDAR as soon as possible.

    The matriarchal cultures of the grandmothers have specific symbolism of animism shamanism, such as the horse, especially the blue horse, and the deer. These are two main symbols of a shaman woman and you can find them in many cultural folk lore, especially the Russian, Slavic, Siberian, Nordic, Finland, and Norway. It’s nice to see the Matriarchal Shaman Animism diety represented in Chinese.

    An inspiring act of a selfless Lama feeding strays whether its night or day. Truly an example for us all to feed those lonely strays . Yes I do agree compassion starts with feeding strays. Reading this blog again to refresh myself to do more. Strays animals generally lead a life of poor welfare on the street. Feeding strays is a compassionate act.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Anila for this sharing.

    Demons are disembodied spirits, supernatural being or spirit and unseen beings. We know they do exist and I believe they do. They have no physical form to them whatsoever. Demons do definitely exist. They are intelligent beings who are evil malicious spirits and are all dangerous entities. Valak is not to be summoned capriciously by anyone as they are dangerous beings when we invoke them having to face a heavy consequence. There are spiritual practices that we can ask for help a ritual of the wrathful Manjushri in the form of Trakze. Having a doing the practice daily without fail, consistently, as this Trakze practice has been proven to be efficacious to break the hold the Valak and other spirits. All thanks to our Guru bringing this practice to Kechara Forest Retreat, Bentong Malaysia.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing for us to understand better.

    Wow ,reading all these powerful quotes had me realised much better of giving even I have little. May H E Tsem Rinpoche’s sincere advice to reach the far shore of liberation to everyone reading this blog. The most truly generous people are those who give silently without asking any in return. There is no exercise better than reaching and lifting people up. A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal. Well creating and lighting for others we naturally light our own way. Helping others especially those unfortunate ones, make us feel more positive about our own circumstances.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing all these powerful quotes.

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.
    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

    Anonymous asked: 1: how can cleaning be turned into meditation? 2: in Chinese tradition, when someone passes away, there are these blankets with like Buddhas' names on it, Buddhist symbols, etc. What happens when they are cremated, what should we do so it isn't disrespectful to burn the cover/blanket? Thank you ♡
    pastor answered: Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your questions. In regards to your first question, here is a part of Tsem Rinpoche's teaching (https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/how-to-purify-your-karma-in-kechara-forest-retreat.html): "As I have shared before, during the Buddha’s time, he had a student who was not very intelligent, an old monk. And when this old monk memorised the first word, when he got to the second word, he forgot the first word. When he went back to the first word, he forgot the second word. And he’d yo-yo back and forth like that. And he was very frustrated so he asked the Buddha what he could do because he was having such a hard time memorising and understanding the Dharma due to his very, very, very, poor memory. And so the Buddha said, “Visualise a temple, the shoes of the monks, the floor, the surrounding area, the garden, the trees and all that as your mind. And all the leaves that have fallen as your karma, and your kleshas, your obstructions, your obstacles. Think of all the dirt, think of all the dust, as your kleshas and your obstructions and your negative karma, and every day clean it. And recite this DÜ PUNG DRI MA PUNG, DÜ PUNG DRI MA PUNG, DÜ PUNG DRI MA PUNG. Remove my defilements, remove its leftovers. Remove my defilements, remove the leftovers, the stains.. So, to recite that every day carefully and to visualise it carefully and do that.” So when you are cleaning, you visualise that you are cleaning the defilements from your mind, you can recite "DÜ PUNG DRI MA PUNG, DÜ PUNG DRI MA PUNG, DÜ PUNG DRI MA PUNG." or "Remove my defilements, remove its leftovers." Or you can recite mantras of purification such as Vajrasattva. In regards to your second question: from the Tibetan Buddhist viewpoints you would not burn mantras or images of or associated with the Three Jewels. However, the specific mantras on the blanket, may be for this specific purpose. We wouldn't be able to give you a definitive answers as we would need to know the specific mantras, prayers, images on the blanket. Hope this helps. Thank you.

    Jason asked: Continuing from the previous answer, how do we liberate ourselves from samsara if it’s impossible to not create further karma while existing in samsara? If we create karma just be existing, that means that we will keep reincarnating over and over again so it seems like we’re stuck in the cycle
    pastor answered: Dear Jason, You've asked a very interesting follow-up question. Generally speaking, yes if you are in samsara, then you are always creating more karma. That's why the goal of Buddhists is to be liberated from samsara. The Buddha and other enlightened beings achieved this and the practice of Dharma itself is geared towards achieving this. I'll try to explain it here, hopefully I can do so in such a short space. So, normally there is no way out of samsara, but when you practice the Dharma there is. Remember in my previous reply to you, I mentioned that there are differing levels of severity of karma? Some are heavier, some lighter, etc. When practising the Dharma, you reduce the amount of karma that you produce. When you have less effects of karma, due to less negative karma itself, you can focus more on the spiritual practices that lead to liberation. I'll take the examples of the Refuge vows. There are 10 of them, split into three categories related to the body, speech and mind. First is the body, which includes to abstain form killing, as killing creates negative karma. The in the speech section, it includes to abstain from lying. This is harder to do. What is easier - to abstain from killing another human being, or lying to another person. The easier one is not to kill. Hence, you train yourself in this manner, working from those actions that are easiest to avoid, working up to those that are harder. For example in the mind section, one of the vows is not to covet something that another person has. But this is harder to do than either not lying or not killing. In other words, in our spiritual practice, we reduce the karma that we create though the actions of our body, speech and mind. Since we have less karma, we suffer less. And then finally, we are get to really subtle levels of karma, which are like residue in our mindstreams. But it's still there. In order to get out of samsara, you need to realise what we call emptiness (which is way to complicated to talk about here). In other words, the very path of the Dharma is to reduce the karma we create, starting with the easiest and working up to the hardest, which is where it becomes the easiest to understand emptiness. This who journey is a process, that's why teachings such as the Lamrim are indesipensible as it shows us the actual way to practice. Normally, we are stuck in Samsara. But when we practice the Dharma and ultimately realise emptiness (there are many, many steps in between) we are able to get out of samsara completely. This may sound confusing, which is why in Buddhism study, understand and practice is very important. We have Dharma classes available, where you can learn and find out more: https://www.kechara.com/learn/dharma-classes/ I hope this helps.

    Jason asked: People-especially family put certain expectations on us and when we refuse, it causes them a lot of stress and anger and we make them suffer…. my family wants me to marry and have kids but I don’t want to be tied down to Samsara any further and just explaining that I want to shave my head drives my mom crazy and she starts speaking to me in a very loud and forceful manner saying that she doesn’t care what I have to say and that she knows better than me so she will do whatever it takes make me have a family even if she ends up becoming a villain in my eyes because it’s for my own good so that I won’t be alone and lonely when I’m old. When we say no to people, especially to people who care about us and want the best for us, do we accumulate negative karma from causing them emotional turmoil and pain
    pastor answered: Dear Jason, Thank you for your question. In essence, any action that causes another person harm or suffering whether physical or emotional generates negative karma. But karma is complicated and not as simple as we usually think about it. There are differences in level of severity of karma created, some can be very light and some can be heavy. These are due to the variables when creating karma, such as motivation, the actions, your feelings after it, etc. This can all be found in teachings that talk about karma, especially the Lamrim teachings. In Buddhism we teach that we need to avoid the creation of negative karma for sure. But simply by being stuck in samsara, there is actually no way out of creating karma. That is why Buddhists seek to be free from samsara altogether. Only when we are free from samsara, are we free from the creation of karma. In relation to your situation, if you are young and rely on your parents, for now you should try not to do things that are create division or disharmony within the family environment. That itself if the practice of the Dharma. Then later, when you are independent you can make more of an informed choice about what you want to do. Even in your current situation, you can practice the Dharma, it is not necessary to become a monk or nun to progress on your spiritual path. Dharma can be practiced in any environment, and actually practising towards our family is the best. When we transform our minds and our behvariours and they see just how beneficial this transformation is, this is the best way to show them that Dharma is good. This was a piece of advice that Tsem Rinpoche used to tell people in family situations all the time. I hope this helps you.

    Rojal Poudel asked: How can I meet my guru? Does one need a guru for initiation for tantra and other stuff on the path to enlightenment? Does one need a guru to attain enlightenment?
    pastor answered: Dear Rojal, Thank you for your question. In regards to meeting your guru, there are many different ways. These days you can meet your guru online as well. For example, many people did not meet Tsem Rinpoche personally, but they consider him to be there guru. You may find this article interesting: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/the-guru-protocol-a-guide-to-knowing-who-your-guru-is.html In regards to tantra, yes, one definitely needs a qualified guru to bestow initiation and teach us the path of practice once you have initiation. In regards to our tradition, it is also considered necessary to have a guru to attain full enlightenment. Hope this helps. The article lined above will definitely help to answer some of your questions on a deeper level. Thank you.

    Rojal Poudel asked: How can you deepen your spiritual progress while sleeping? I heard some people can go to pure lands and get teachings directly from Buddha’s, Bodhisattva’s, and Dharma Protecters. Are these possible from Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection?
    pastor answered: Dear Rojal, Thank you for your questions. It's always nice to see you here wanting to learn more. Yes it is definitely possible to deepen your practice in your sleep. This is done during practice of Highest Yoga Tantra, after receiving initiation and progressed along generation stage practice. This would obviously include everything before receiving such iniation such as having a basis and grounding in the Three Principle Aspects of the Path and the Lamrim teachings. In this practice you are able to use sleep to engage in meditation. This would need you to be able to lucid dream before hand. The ability to lucid dream itself can be developed a number of ways, but the most common is single-pointed mediation concentration during waking life. This is also known as Shamatha meditation. But in this case, the object of your meditation should be a mental one, rather than a physical one. The best would be a visualisation of the Buddha. All of this is outlined in the Lamrim teachings in the section on developing concentration. In terms of Astral Travel, yes it is definitely possible, and again there are different methods to go about this. Again this should be done only after having received the appropriate intiations and teachings from your guru. However, there are quite a few dangers involved with this. As Tsem Rinpoche mentioned before, the two main ones is that your consciousness is not able to return to your body and two that a spirit can take possession of your body if your protection is not strong and you have not invoked a Dharma protector to help with protection aspects. Another thing about astral travel, is that even if learn how to do it, it is not necessary that you can actually visit pure lands or receive teachings, etc. This is because, to do this, would require a lot of merit. So there are many things and practices to develop merit before you should engage in it. Often times, people who claim that they have received teachings or visited purelands, actually haven't though they may think that they did. It could simply be a projection of one's mind and in some serious cases perhaps even due to spirits mascarading. If you would like to learn lucid dreaming, please look into the teachings of single-pointed concentration normally. The ability of lucid dreaming comes naturally for those who progress in their shamatha meditation. As for astral travel practices, I would advise not to engage in such practices unless you receive the appropriate initiations, teachings from and under the strict supervision of a qualified guru. Hope this helps.

    Rojal Poudel asked: I am about to leave everything behind. I am tired of this life where I do the same thing everyday. I see everything but dharma as an illusion. I want to attain some sort of realization so that I can benefit other sentient beings. I am very inspired by the story of Milarepa, who gave up everything to learn dharma. Even the Buddha gave up comfort and luxury in search for this supreme truth. I also want to follow the Please tell me what I should do.
    pastor answered: Dear Rojal, We can understand that you feel this way, and seeing the illusion of life should definitely motivate us to want to achieve something more spiritual. In the past when people asked Tsem Rinpoche the same question, he used to tell people a couple of things: > The first is that there are two methods to deal with our spiritual path. The first is to physically renounce everything and go into the wilderness, like Buddha Shakyamuni and Milarepa did. To cut yourself from everyone and everything and meditate continuously for years until you achieve realisation. But this is very hard to do in our day and age. We still need to have contact with people, there are the necessities of life to think about. Rinpoche said we need to think about things from a practice angle also. It takes a very great level of practitioner with an immense store of merit to be able to do this successfully. > The second method is to keep living within our a community and use them as a support for the transformation of the mind and spiritual progress. For example, that it why we have monasteries and nunneries, or Dharma centres and organisations to help with spiritual practice. This method is more measured, but you can still gain the same results. This is the more practical method. Especially according to the Mahayana path of practice, Bodhisattvas need to practice certain qualities in our minds and we progress towards enlightenment. Such qualities include the Six Perfections, but if we are not around others, how do we practice them? In order to practice generosity, we need others to be generous towards. In order to practice patience, we need others to be patient towards. In order to practice morality and ethics, we need to be in situations to be able to practice our vows. Enlightened beings like Buddha and Milarepa were able to do all of this in their minds during meditation but as mentioned before they were already high level pracitioners with immense merit. For example, Buddha Shakyamuni had three countless aeons of consistent practice life time after life time until his achieved enlightenment. > Another thing that Rinpoche shared, that while understanding the drawbacks of life and the benefits of becoming enlightened, a lot of the time what happens these days is that it is mixed up with emotion due to the challenges of life. People are looking for an escape, but not an escape from samsara into enlightenment, but simple an escape from their current problems. The need for escape, known as renunciation in Buddhism, is not to simply escape samsara, but developed in a certain way through contemplation and meditation. When we have such feelings, we should analyse them to see if they are in accord with the teachings and the methods of developing true renunciation. Many people also have a unrealistic way of thinking about physical renunciation and the spiritual path in general. Most people think it is easy, but it is not, is difficult because we need to deal with our minds, our emotions, our traumas, etc, from countless lives. If we don't have a firm foundation in Dharma practice and transformation before we attempt something like Buddha Shakyamuni or Milarepa, we will give up after a while because we find it too hard. And perhaps give up spiritual practice because the path did not actually match our expectations. So the key is to be as realistic as possible about our spiritual path. So our advice, rather than give up everything, as you may have family or other responsibilities, is to use your current situation to transform your mind, to practice the teachings right now in life, so that you can start progressing along the spiritual life. The best way to do this is to practice the Lamrim teachings, which give you a firm roadmap of how and what to practice in a sequential manner. Giving up everything is not necessary to make real progress on the spiritual path, as outlined in the Lamrim, but sustained and consistent practice is the key. Then use the situations in your life to actualise that transformation. We hope this helps.

    Jason asked: I listened to Tsem Rinpoche’s dharma talk and was inspired to be patient and kind towards other. For a while I felt like my mind had transformed and I started being more proactive in helping others and making sure to complete my responsibilities as perfectly as I can to not burden others and taking the initiative to help people that I see are struggling with their work but recently I have been feeling like I’m actually harming others instead of helping them by being kind because I feel like I’m enabling their bad behavior and rude attitude, especially one person in particular that I have to work with. No matter how much I help and show kindness, they don’t seem to change…and now I feel like a pushover for smiling and helping them even though they don’t show any appreciation or respect for it and instead take advantage of me and push even more of their responsibilities on me. I’ve been having thoughts that my kindness and patience has just become a cover for fear of confrontation now. What should I do? I feel like I’m gonna lose control and lash out even though I try to focus my mind on how the people around me must be struggling
    pastor answered: Dear Jason, Thank you for your question. We are very happy to hear that Tsem Rinpoche's Dharma talks have inspired you, especially to practice patience and kindness towards others. Please do keep it up, the benefits of both qualities are immense and are central to spiritual transformation. We should always try our best to practice both patience and kindness, but sometimes practising it in the way we think may not be the best option. For example, in the case that you mentioned, it is not having the right effect on your own mind and also you are enabling your co-worker to exhibit negative behaviours as well. In this case, actually practising kindness would not be to become a pushover, taking more responsibilities, etc. This isn't beneficial for your or the co-worker. So here, practising kindness would actually be not to allow the person to do such things, but it should be practised with patience and not out of emotion. So you would do this in a very skilfful manner. The best would be to have a talk with your co-worker in a very calm manner and explain how you are feeling and how they are making you feel in the work environment, and try to sort out the situation before it progresses. Especially since you are having such thoughts of anger and the posibility of lashing out. Practicing kindness and patience is not at all become a push over or allowing others to skip out on their responsibilities, etc. We really hope this helps. Thank you.

    Sok asked: Hello respected pastors. Is Kusha grass same as Durva grass? How to obtain kusha grass?
    pastor answered: Dear Sok, Kusha grass and Durva grass are two different types of grass, they are not the same. Kusha grass is also known as halfa grass, big cordgrass, or salt reed-grass. Its scientific name is Desmostachya Bipinnata. In shape, each blade of grass is long and straight. Durva grass is also known as bermuda grass. Its scientific name is Cynodon Dactylon. In shape, each blade looks segmented and has smaller leaves sprouting from it. You can google the scientific name to see the difference between the two. Generally, they can be bought at Indian religious stores if there are any nearby where you live. Alternatively, if you live in Asia, you can buy a traditional grass broom, which you can substitue for the Kusha grass. It is a close relative of Kusha grass and the lamas have said that it can be used as substitue if you cannot find the actual grass. I hope this helps. Thank you.

    Bhavisha asked: How to know wheather specific LOCAL deity is enlighten or not?
    pastor answered: Dear Bhavisha, Local deities are not enlightened. They are sentient beings who look after or take care of a specific area. There are different names for these types of beings, such as local deities, Land God, Landowner deities, etc. They belong to the God Realm, but as other beings in the god realm, they are not enlightened. Hope this helps.

    Rojal Poudel asked: What comes after attaining samatha or calm abiding meditation?
    pastor answered: Dear Rojal, Nice to see you back here! Shamatha is a tool, basically through this meditation you develop single pointed concentration. But after developing that, you use it to engage in Vipashyana meditation, otherwise known as Special Insight. Different traditions have different version of Special Insight. In our tradition, we use this type of meditation to analyse what we call "emptiness." The teachings on the emptiness are the actual teaching that leads to enlightenment. All other teachings or practices help to prepare your mind to be able to do this. Shamatha comes in, because the topic of emptiness is so deep, that we need single-pointed concentration to analyse it. If we don't have this type of concentration, we will not be able to understand emptiness. Hence, shamatha and vipashyana meditation are used in tandem to achieve enlightenment. This may seem a little abstract. The Lamrim teachings go into this in a lot of detail. They can be found in the chapters dealing with the Concentration and Wisdom as part of the Six Perfections in the Great Scope sections of the Lamrim. Hope this helps. Thank you.

    Jonathan Tan asked: Hi Dear Pastor, I am curious if H.E 25th Tsem Rinpoche had any heart disciples (son/daughter) Is there a difference between heart and root disciples?
    pastor answered: Dear Jonathan, Thank you for your question. There is no one heart disciple of Tsem Rinpoche. This usually refers to specific person who carries on the teachings and practices of a particular teacher. Tsem Rinpoche wanted something different for Kechara, hence we carry on his teachings and practices as a group, rather than one specific person. Rinpoche trained his students, who are either Sangha, Pastors or senior students in various ways of continuing his teachings, especially through the work that they do. In this way, we continue Rinpoche's teachings as a group rather than any one heart disciple. Hope that this helps. Thank you.

    Sirius asked: Hi dear pastors, I'd like to get recomendations on how to improve my actual sadhana. My morning starts by taking refuge and making offerings to the three jewls, followed by Lama Tsongkhapa's Guru Yoga. After this I usually study Lam Rim, and other Dharma Texts. During the afternoon I meditate for a about an hour or so, and somedays I do the Dorje Shugden sadhana given by Rinpoche. Finally at night I finish my day by doing Vajrasattva meditation and confession to the 35 Buddhas. What else can I do to improve my sadhana? What practices would you recomend me to do? Do you have recomendations on texts I could read? I would like to add that I live in Argentina, and I do not have any buddhist temple near sadly, so I cannot go there to practice, learm or collab. I would appreciate advice on this. Thank you in advance.
    pastor answered: Dear Sirius, Thank you for your question. In terms of practice, you are doing a lot. We are very happy to read that you are doing all these beneficial practices. They will be very beneficial for you. What you are doing is very good already, the only thing that I would say is to make the Dorje Shugden sadhana consistent as well as the others. If you are doing the short Diamond Path sadhana, it includes the Vajrasatta meditations, so you don't have to do it separately. We just have some points to help you improve your practice: > First is whenever you do any of the practices, is it vital to make sure you take refuge, generate bodhicitta and practice the four immeasurables before each session. And then at the end of the session, make sure to dedicate. This seals the merit generated from your practice. This is very important as if we don't have the correct motivation at the beginning and dedicate it at the end, since the merit is not sealed, the positive potential is destroyed when we have disturbing emotions, especially anger. > The second is to be consistent in your practices and do them daily. If you cannot be consistent with the practices you are doing at the moment, then reduce what you are doing to make it simple, for example just the Diamond Path (which includes Tsongkhapa's Guru Yoga anyway). Then once you are consistent daily, later you can slow add in other practices and become consistent with them. > The third is to keep revising the teachings on these practices, understand the motivation, deepen your visualisations, etc. > In regards to your meditation, if you are doing breathing or concentration meditation, again, revise the teachings again and again to make your practice stronger and understand where you are on your meditational path. > You can also spend some time every day, maybe five or ten minutes contemplating the Lamrim teachings step by step. This itself is extremely transformational and will propel you along the spiritual path. In regards to what else to study or read, here is a very good article: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/books-that-are-a-must-read.html If you consider Tsem Rinpoche to be your spiritual teacher, there are thousands of hours of teachings on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoTg0Wc5q3Gnz8ej3ETCdMQ You can watch and re-watch them to deepen your understanding and practice. I hope all of this helps.

Dharma sharing by Hue before we proceeded with DS puja & Rinpoche Swift Return puja. Hue is one of the long time Kechara Penang members and he comes to puja regularly. He shared that he truly believes that Dorje Shugden and Rinpoche always there guiding him. He shared how sometimes DS will give him hints to avert troubles ahead or to alert him when he 'misbehaved'. Hope many will come to know more about this powerful Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden aka DS. Having Dorje Shugden is like having a powerful ally that will protect us day and night. Just trust Him and have faith. Kechara Penang Study Group, 25/11/2023 by Jacinta.
