Trijang Rinpoche and Karmapa

Mind blowing connections between two enlightened and perfected beings!

His Holiness 16th Karmapa was very close friends with His Holiness Trijang Rinpoche. They spent much time together talking, discussing and joking. They had a very warm and close relationship for lifetimes in fact. Karmapa would even visit Trijang Rinpoche in his house with short notice. This warm, holy and sacred picture says it all. Karmapa is Chenresik and Trijang Rinpoche is Vajra Yogini. These are two living Buddhas manifesting in human form for the benefit of many beings. Om Svasti!

There is an interesting story regarding H.H. the 8th Karmapa and H.H. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche to show enlightenment has no borders no matter what tradition you hail from. Karmapa may be Karma Kagyu and Trijang Rinpoche Gelug, but that is just our labels. A fully enlightened being of the Kagyu and Gelug has no difference. Same for Sakya, Nyingma, Mahayana, Zen, Theravadin, etc. How can a Buddha be defined by time, place, tradition, sect or lineage? Impossible.

A Buddha is beyond all labels and projections. Projections arise from untamed mind with wrong view and that certainly does not apply to a Buddha mind. So someone who follows the Karma Kagyu tradition and practices diligently can be fully enlightened just like a Gelug practioner of course. Buddha’s teachings have no ultimate borders. All lineages are potent to produce Buddhas from ordinary beings. Anyone practicing diligently and correctly from any tradition can become fully enlightened.

To illustrate this point, in the time of Karmapa’s 8th incarnation Migyo Dorje, Karmapa and Trijang Rinpoche “exchanged” identity, where the mind of the previous Karmapa reincarnated into a boy who was later recognized as the new incarnation of Trijang Rinpoche, while the previous Trijang Rinpoche reincarnated into a boy who was later recognized as the 8th Karmapa, so the previous Karmapa became the new Trijang Rinpoche and practised and upheld the Gelug lineage for his whole lifetime, while the previous Trijang Rinpoche became the 8th Karmapa and learned, practised, taught and upheld the Karma Kagyu lineage for his whole lifetime.

After that incarnation, both of them reincarnated into their respective lineages again, i.e. the original Karmapa into Kagyu lineage, and the original Trijang Rinpoche into Gelug lineage. But for that one lifetime, they “exchanged” roles into each other’s lineage. This is established and accepted. Hence in the *Trungrab thangka of Trijang Rinpoche’s previous incarnation the 8th Karmapa is portrayed. Beautiful isn’t it? Karmapa and Trijang Rinpoche are both enlightened manifesting again and again for the benefit of others. How fortunate we are to live in a time and dimension that holy beings can manifest and have direct interaction with us propelling us toward liberation as taught by the Dharma of the infallible Lord Buddha.

Please share this picture with many and allow them a chance to be blessed also just like us. Seeing in this case is planting seeds of liberation in our mind streams. I am so happy to share this with everyone. I feel so blessed to see this and feel it’s such a great honour for me to share this story and picture with all of you. Please share with others.

May H.H. Gyalwa Karmapa and H.H. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche’s current incarnations live long, bring dharma to many and have their wishes fulfilled.

Much care, prayers and blessings,

Tsem Rinpoche

    Pictures of His Holiness 16th Karmapa with His Holiness Trijang Rinpoche tells a thousand words. Karmapa is Chenresik , while Trijang Rinpoche is Vajra Yogini. This is a true display of spirituality of two greatest masters of Tibetan Buddhism. They are really close together and have a good relationship just for benefit of beings regardless of the traditions they belong as such as Gelupa or Karmapa. Together they even cross incarnation each other, working together for the growth of Dharma. We are fortunate to see this rare photo of this Great Dharma Master.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    A rare holy, sacred and precious picture of His Holiness 16th Karmapa with His Holiness Trijang Rinpoche tells a thousand words. Karmapa is Chenresik and Trijang Rinpoche is Vajra Yogini. In fact there is a mind blowing connections between the two enlightened and perfected beings. Wow…… HH 16th Karmapa and HH Trijang Rinpoche are both enlightened manifesting again and again for the benefit of others. Interesting read showing enlightenment has no borders no matter what tradition one comes from.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Wow…. a brilliant picture of the two greatest masters of Tibetan Buddhism. Trijang Rinpoche was a Gelugpa monk and the 16th Karmapa, a Karma Kagyu, enjoying a beautiful relationship based on respect and trust. There were no conflict between them. It seem that in one lifetime, both of them did even interchange incarnations. There is an interesting story regarding both of them. Both enlightened manifesting again and again for the benefit of others .From the picture it tell us a thousands word of wisdom between both of them. H.H. the 16th Karmapa and H.H. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche remained close friends throughout their life. Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this a brilliant picture of the two greatest masters for us and merely seeing it is a blessing.

    This is a powerful picture of Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen, Kensur Kyabje Lati Rinpoche and the current incarnation of Trijang Rinpoche meeting together in the year 2000 when Trijang Rinpoche was 18. All three lamas are Dorje Shugden practitioners. In fact Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen was the one that first encouraged my practice of Dorje Shugden when I was 16 years old when I joined his beautiful Thubten Dhargye Ling centre in Los Angeles. I lived with Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen for 8 years before proceeding to Gaden Monastery in South India. Later Kyabje Zong Rinpoche came to our Los Angeles centre and granted sogtae (permission ceremony) to practice Dorje Shugden for life as requested by Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen. Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen had tremendous faith in Trijang Rinpoche.

    Kyabje Lati Rinpoche was innovative, dedicated and very much focused on bringing dharma to many. He had tremendous faith in Dorje Shugden as I had the honour to meet him many times. He would seek advice from Dorje Shugden many times via the oracle of Gaden Monastery. Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen and Kensur Kyabje Lati Rinpoche have since passed away while the current Trijang Rinpoche is a perfect lineage holder and practitioner of Dharma while he keeps Dorje Shugden as his personal protector as he has done so for many lifetimes.

    This is a powerful and beautiful picture of three great lamas of Buddha’s lineage and also of Gaden Monastery. ~Tsem Rinpoche

    I always liked HH Trijang Rinpoche’s pleasant peaceful smile, it always brought warmth to the heart. It’s such a wonderful photo to see HH 16th Karmapa and HH Trijang Rinpoche together, they look really close together and have a good relationship. I find it really cool how they “exchanged roles” into each other’s lineages, it shows how accepting they are of each others practices and how humble they are. May they have long lives for many eons benefiting many people.

  7. sweekeong on Mar 18, 2013 at 1:12 am

    Astounding! The enlightened mind is really out of this world. We cannot put the enlightened mind in a box, a compartment, nor categorized the enlightened mind into categories, this sect, that sect, this lineage, and that lineage. It would be a futile effort. This shows at our current mindset and state we are trying to fit enlightenment, our guru, into something within the definition our polluted mind for our own convenience sake. All qualified lineages will lead one to full enlightenment. We created our own obstacles therefore any of the guru is the best guru we can have because of their enlightened mind being able to help all sentient beings including us.

  9. li kheng on Feb 15, 2013 at 6:35 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for this very interesting post!

    The first thought that came to mind is: we can only truly understand  and experience life from another’s perspective by putting ourselves in that person’s position. When we understand, we may develop empathy and separation can melt away. If enlightened beings like Trijang Rinpoche and Karmapa can “exchange lives” to illustrate this point, we should follow their example to widen our view beyond labels. As we stop focusing on the differences and start seeing the similarities we share with others, the hatred/dislike can be replaced with tolerance and acceptance. This is not limited to religious matters but life in general. For example, I had a Palestinian and an Isreali classmate who eventually became friends after they actually get to know each other.

    The second thought that comes to mind is that we are all the same, we are all one. We all live in pursuit of happiness. We all experience fear. In seeing that we are not defined the lineage we belong to (Gelugpa or Karma Kagyu) but rather we are all learning Dharma with a common goal to attain peace and happiness, we will act differently and begin to practice real Dharma.

  10. Albert Ratchaga on Feb 15, 2013 at 4:25 pm

    This is really amazing with the relationship of Trijang Rinpoche and Karmapa, how they share the linage and working together for the growth of Dharma, how they switch position to bring out the benefit for others, nothing can be more beautiful than this.

    For the enlightened being who need to work together to benefits others, don’t even mentioned about human, we can’t work alone, so what we need to learn from here is to put down our judgmental and self cherishing mind and work harmoniously with others, with this only we can achieve more and gain the real happiness.

  11. Samten Lhendup on Feb 14, 2013 at 11:57 am

    _/\_ Rinpoche, thank you very much for the post. I did not know H.E Karmapa and Trijang rinpoche are so close to each other. They are truly Buddhas in human form. May who ever catches their sight purify all negative karma and blessed by their enlightened power.

  12. abby f on Feb 13, 2013 at 7:19 pm

    It is interesting to know that Trijang Rinpoche was once the 8th Karmapa and the 7th Karmapa reincarnated and became Trijang Rinpoche at that time! Buddhism is beautiful because we have different lineages and traditions, and even the though the practices, the way we chant our prayers might not be the same, but we share the same teachings from the Buddha. And most importantly, the true Dharma is transformation, not only the rituals or the prayers.

    I think to all the high lamas, there is no difference between the tradition and lineage. To benefit others, they go beyond the labels that limit people’s mind. If I see obstacles greater than the purpose to serve others, then it shows I have no kindness and gratitude for what I have, because all the things that I have now are due to the kindness and others hard works.

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this lovely photo and opened up our eyes and mind to see how enlightened beings go beyond labels and limitations to serve others. We should take them as our role model. 🙂

  13. Low ksjb on Feb 11, 2013 at 6:56 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche to share this rare photo of these Great Dharma Masters with us.We are very fortunate to witness true Dharma in action.Their sincere action shows us that true Dharma have no boundaries. Both of them display inner and outer bliss when they are together.These accomplish Dharma masters are indeed compassionate and generous.Without them a lot of rare tantric practice would be lost.It is through their devotion and commitment that ,through their tied less effort to initiate and spread Dharma to motivate it to a higher level.
    Wishing their current reincarnation long life to spread Dharma to all.

  14. KYC on Feb 11, 2013 at 3:42 pm

    The lives and work of enlightened masters are truly inspirational. They are great examples to follow and their actions are teachings in themselves. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche (the Buddha’s charioteer)in previous lives, had been Indian pandits and mahasiddhas, Ganden Tripas several times, and great Tibetan masters. These bodhisattvas return again and again to help sentient beings become enlightened by showing them the path. We are indeed fortunate to live in these times where Buddhist masters are spreading the Buddhadharma far and wide.

  15. lewkwanleng on Feb 11, 2013 at 2:23 am

    People asked me about the different lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. i told them it is just our labels. They are all the same and leads to enlightenment.

    This story of exchanging entity between these two high liames is interesting to read, but more importantly it is very touching. From their mind, they already know the path to enlightenment. and lables such as Kagyu, Gelug are merely labels we put…

  16. Sheryl KH (JB) on Feb 10, 2013 at 10:52 pm

    I am amazed at how Karmapa and Trijang Rinpoche “exchanged” identity and that they learnt another tradition during that lifetime. Maybe this was already pre-arranged between two of these enlightened beings before that particular re-incarnation. This is also a beautiful story for me for with this identity exchange, another tradition is learnt during that particular lifetime.

    With this article, I learnt too that there is no border when it comes to enlightenment. We can all become enlightened if we do practice and learn hard enough.

  17. Andrew Boon on Feb 10, 2013 at 10:13 pm

    What a beautiful picture of two such illustrious masters. True spirituality at its best! A celebration of commonalities and not differences which makes this a most touching imagery!.

    If only we can all use this simple pictorial example of how true peace (inner and outer) can be achieved with such a relatively “easy” lesson in acceptance and tolerance.

    The current incarnations of H.H. Gyalwa Karmapa and H.H. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche’s are back and continuing to benefit others I rejoice that they will continue to turn the wheel of dharma always!

  18. Wan Wai Meng on Feb 10, 2013 at 9:07 pm

    I always thought of enlightened beings as being the nature of clear, pristine. When water mixes with water there is no difference between them and since all Buddhas have the same type of minds they can occupy the different bodies. A show of their control over life and death.

  19. David Lai on Feb 10, 2013 at 5:30 pm

    I think this is a very interesting piece of information regarding Trijang Rinpoche and the Karmapa. I think that they are definitely highly evolved beings that have returned to bring tremendous benefit to us and to ensure the flourishing of the teachings. Hence, I am sure the Karmapa and Trijang Rinpoche planned this switch as a show of their eternal and divine friendship.

    They also did this because they want to show the world that both lineages are just as valid and there is no real separation. The spirit of the Karma Kagyus and the Gelug tradition is exactly the same, the difference is mere on the technical, which is the method. They are not the only Lamas to do this. Even Lama Zopa in his previous lives was a Nyingma lama and in this life, he has manifested as a powerful Gelug lama. The labels is just placed on the teachings but the spirit of each and every lineage is really the same. Wonderful! I think the message is to stick to our practice and lineage and go all the way with it.

  20. Paris on Feb 10, 2013 at 12:47 am

    What a beautiful photo which demonstrates the real love, harmony, peace and equanimity that can arise out of every true practitioner, whatever your faith, tradition, school or even religion. There are some similar photos of the Dalai Lama with leaders of other faiths, like the Pope or some Christian Bishops, and that same sense of harmony and understanding is pervasive in all those photos.

    It’s really only all the rest of us, many levels down from these enlightened minds, who put the labels and make that distinction between what is truly good and what isn’t – that’s where all the trouble starts! The clashes, conflicts and problems that arise out of religion are very rarely from the spiritual leaders themselves, but by many of the people below, who clearly haven’t yet reached that level of understanding equanimity and compassion as their own leaders have. If we could only emulate our teachers, or those we look up to within our faiths and practice what they show in their own perfect examples, we would have saved a helluva lot of conflict and war in the last few thousand years!

  21. Valentina Suhendra on Feb 9, 2013 at 6:14 pm

    I have read several accounts about Trijang Rinpoche’s previous life and his relationship he is building with Lamas from various traditions, including Karmapa. Sometimes I wonder why some people still bicker or discuss about which sects of Buddhism are better and try to defend one and oppose the other. It is really a meaningless discussion and the time spent can be used instead ot benefit others.

    I think it is very beautiful to have good relationships that lasted for many lifetimes and served as examples and inspirations for many others.

  22. jennifer on Feb 9, 2013 at 4:19 pm

    What a touching and beautiful photo of H.H.16th Karmapa and H.H. Trijang Rinpoche together. One can actually feel the closeness,love and warmth between these two great Masters.The photo also reflects their love for each other , the love that they shared for eons of lifetimes together.
    They are just so very comfortable in each other’s company. Their love and compassion transcends all the different traditions.

    It is man who puts labels onto everything, eg a sparrow does not know it’s a sparrow – man labelled it and gave it a name. It is the same that man causes the separation between race, religions, cultures when basically we are all the same. We all aim for the same thing – Universal Peace, Love and Harmony .

    The amazing story of the ‘cross incarnation ‘ between H.H. 8th Karmapa and H.H. Trijang Rinpoche clearly shows that there are no boundaries,no limitations , no labels, no segregation, when it comes to serving and benefiting all sentient beings.

  23. Datuk May on Feb 9, 2013 at 2:29 pm

    What a wonderful picture of true enlightened beings who practised the Dharma and lived in bliss. No labels, separation nor differences prevail within their mind stream as all they do is to live their lives in many many reincarnations to benefit all forms of sentient beings.

    Thank you, Rinpoche for giving this teaching and the conviction that as long as the upholders of all spiritual practices are pure and authentic, the basis of spirituality is same. To live a virtuous life to benefit all and space that we are in.

    In order to understand how profound and similar all types of Buddhism are, the education on pure Dharma is so important. For this I thank Rinpoche and our Pastors and Dharma teachers in Kechara.

  24. Lim Han Nee on Feb 9, 2013 at 9:45 am

    Thank you Rinpoche for showing us that, for fully Enlightened and compassionate beings,there are no conventionally set boundaries of time,space, sects and lineage. Here are two great Enlightened Beings, emanations of Chenrezig and Vajrayogini, who are so close friends. The great friendship of HH the Sixteenth Karmapa and HH Trijang Rinpoche spans many lifetimes.

    The sole purpose of these two great masters is to benefit sentient beings. Hence they will come back lifetime after lifetime,be it as a Gelug master or a Karma Kagyu master. Both have interchanged ‘labels’. In fact HH 8th Karmapa and HH Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche – have interchanged places- Trijang Rinpoche coming back as a Karma Kagyu master and HH 8th Karmapa as a Gelug master.

    I rejoice at Great Compassion that transcends labels.It is ridiculous to accuse such great masters of the Gelug lineage like Pabongka Rinpoche, Trijang Rinpoche and Zong Rinpoche, of being sectarian.

  25. Martin on Feb 9, 2013 at 4:23 am

    A while ago Tsem Rinpoche put a post highlighting the supreme wisdom of Dilgo Kyentse Rinpoche and now this post about the 16th Karmapa. I like that very much because it encourages readers to be broad in their thinking rather than narrowly focused on a particular lineage which may lead one to develop a sense of discrimination and superiority which is not something the Dharma intends for practitioners.

    Just looking at the picture alone is cause for joy – two enlightened beings together in the form of such high masters and that also reminds me how fortunate we are to be living in an age where Dharma is available and highly attained masters walk the earth. Incidentally both Trijang Rinpoche and the 16th Karmapa have returned in present reincarnations to continue turning the wheel of Dharma.

  26. Joy on Feb 8, 2013 at 10:18 pm

    Oh my this so brilliant to know! I like the fact that Trijang Rinpoche and the Karmapa exchanged roles in one life time to knows us that they are both equal and that true Dharma has no boundaries and no labels as it is all for one ultimate goal… to spread Dharma to the ten direction. It is intriguing to know that these two Lamas can literally take full control of their mind and some how show that there is non-duality in real Dharma.

    To us normal layman who are so used to labels this concept may be hard to digest as we tend to always have a mind set that what we do in our lives is not the same as our spiritual practice. I often here people say this is my “family” (the one they were born in) and this is my spiritual life (their spiritual practice) and they some how put these two in separate compartments and one does not mix with the other. They say Dharma work is spiritual practice and Family is family/their real life, 2 separate entities. But what if we can join the both together? Wouldn’t that be much easier for us to focus and wouldn’t that be easier to for us cherish the preciousness of Dharma… if Dharma isn’t life then what do we do or how do we act when we’re with our personal family or friends? Hmmmm – food for thought.

    Thank you Rinpoche for this eye opening post… I find it most refreshing that there proven real life facts that there is no discrimination in Enlightened minds! And if really there was no Tulku system, we’d probably not even know about these two great beings incarnation as such which I suppose is a different subject 🙂

  27. Sharon Saw on Feb 8, 2013 at 9:58 pm

    Thank you for sharing this story about the incarnations crossing back and forth! It is quite an amazing illustration of how highly attained beings are not constrained by our preconceived ideas of how things should be. This is an example of how the enlightened minds transcend duality, which is just a perception of our deluded minds.

    The Buddha said there are 84,000 ways to achieve enlightenment and the different ways are merely because they will each appeal to the 84,000 different types of minds. I do think that all the mainstream religions teach the universal values of wisdom and compassion. Instead of focusing on the differences, we could focus on the similarities and see how we can happily live together and respect the different faiths we have.

    For another example of the unity and harmony across different Buddhist lineages, we can read Rinpoche’s post about the Gelugpa Lama, HH the 10th Panchen Lama and the Nyingma Lama, HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/great-lamas-masters/padmasambhava-meets-tsongkapa.html

    and even across different faiths,
    http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/great-lamas-masters/his-holiness-the-cardinal.html

    Rinpoche has always emphasised on harmony and respect for different schools of Buddhism and different religions. These core principles of maintaining harmony and respect is the core of Rinpoche’s vision of Kechara World Peace Centre. If more people have acceptance and tolerance of other’s beliefs without judgment, i firmly believe this will solve the many problems in our world historically as well as today and world peace is definitely possible.

  28. Desmond on Feb 8, 2013 at 3:33 pm

    In a way, we should be grateful and lucky to have this picture being capture with the two living Buddhas exchanging their views. We should keep this picture as evergreen as possible or print it out to be shared purpose.

    I truly agreed with Rinpoche explanation on whether is the Kagyu or Gelug school, it does not matter as long we practiced diligently, we will obtain the benefits. I followed Kagyu school teaching before leading by current Karmapa. In the beginning, we tend to compare but the more we behave and think this way, it does not serve us well moreover others.

    For the benefit to others and sentient beings, if we do dharma, regardless which school, we do it correctly,selflessly, that’s more important after all.

    In a secular way to explain, being a trained life coach, “label” on someone is how and we perceived in our mind on others. Until we understood fully the “meaning” of we perceived, then labeling on others will no longer be useful. Otherwise, our “labeling” thought is constantly being “clouded” with our other negative thoughts, perspective and paradigm that hold us rigidly. Our current education system did a very surface level in educating us the meaning behind of each labeling.

    This intro from Dream Works on every single animation movies tell us why we need to clear our mind and focus the right purpose, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmGecljl6gk

  29. henry ooi on Feb 8, 2013 at 10:27 am

    Often seen are pictures of great spiritual masters together talking and discussing spirituality regardless of their religious belief. And this is one of those pictures of the two great masters of Vajrayana Buddhism.

    True spirituality has no border, creed and race.

  30. Pastor Susan on Feb 8, 2013 at 5:52 am

    This is a true display of spirituality. Labels are fine as long as we use it to serve the purpose of universal growth and harmony. Labels doesn’t serve anyone when it is used to divide and separate. When this happens, it contradicts growth.

    I love this picture and the explanation Rinpoche provided about the Karmapa and Trijang Rinpoche being such close friends and the deeper and “mysterious” aspects of what these two great beings did in a previous lifetime to show that there is actually no labels and difference.

    If only we can consider the possibility that to achieve ultimate happiness, we need to depend on each other and the need to serve each other, then we will have a better and brighter future for the younger generations. If we believe in incarnation, then we will certainly also benefit from developing the universal mind of compassion.

    Very fortunate for me and friends to have visited these four most worthy pilgrimage sites as mentioned in this blog post. Lumbini where the birthplace of Prince Siddharta Gautama later known as Buddha Shakyamuni, Bodh Gaya the place where Prince Siddharta Gautama reached enlightenment, Sarnath the place where Buddha Shakyamuni turned the Wheel of Dharma for the first time and finally Kushinagar the place where Buddha Shakyamuni entered Parinirvana. So blessed managed to visit all these Holy places just before the lockdown because of the covid pandemic.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Novka Kuaranita for this interesting sharing, so as more people be inspired to go.

    In the eyes of many people, giving doesn’t count unless it’s completely selfless. In reality, though, giving isn’t sustainable when it’s completely selfless. Tsem Rnpoche is one truly Lama who gives silently without hope of praise and reward. Rinpoche gives selflessly to awaken the sleeping humanity in one’s heart. Spreading love and caring everywhere as Rinpoche goes had inspired many of us. There is nothing more beautiful things we can do. If we ever had the chance of making a big impact on the life of someone else, we know how wonderful it can feel to help someone.
    A beautiful story of a selfless Lama who have a heart of gold.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Anila for this sharing.

    Rinpoche read all notes, letters, and cards that was sent to his labrang. It never comes to my mind at all whether or not our guru Tsem Rinpoche saw, ate, or liked our offerings. All I know that Rinpoche knew for sure what we are doing. I am one of the many that Rinpoche had gave me gifts through all these years. Feeling happy and blessed with what I received. Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands. May Rinpoche have a swift return.
    Thank you Anila for this wonderful sharing for many of us to have a better insight understanding of a great Lama.

    你时常都有选择的机会……那就做出正确的选择吧。就像马丁·路德·金所说的:“作正确的事永远都不会嫌迟。”

    当你发现很难去改变自己的恶习时,那就根据帕繃喀仁波切在《菩提道次第广论》里所描述的方式,长期持续地进行死亡禅思。那么你就能够感受到自身念头的转变。它始终会有转变的一天。目前,先专注于宗喀巴大师的修行,对祂生起信心,并时常供养祂……你将为自己累积足够的善因,来等待时机的成熟。

    Reading this article reminds me of my trip there in 2019 just before the lock down. I am glad I made it there as encouraged by our Guru Tsem Rinpoche to go on pilgrimage to Holy places instead of visiting places of interest. It’s a once a life time experienced for me. Went on pilgrimage to Tibet in 2019 and to Sera Choding Hermitage of Lama Tsongkhapa and few other Holy places as well. Sera Choding Hermitage was also the founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. It was one of Tsongkhapa’s principal retreat centers, where he gave many of his most important teachings and where he composed one of his most famous works.
    Fortunate to go to Kushinagar where Buddha Shakyamuni entered Clear Light , and seeing the Ramabhar Stupa,where the cremation place of Buddha Shakyamuni, and a colossal statue of Lord Buddha at the Matha Kuar feeling blessed indeed. Another holy place as mentioned in the blog is Wu Tai Shan. It is a popular pilgrimage as well. Mount Wutai with its five flat peaks is one of the four sacred Buddhist mountains in China. This Holy place is associated with the rising sun which signifies birth and renewal. Due to this interpretation, it is often regarded as the most sacred of the Five Great Mountains. Went there too much earlier with Kecharians friends. Minhitale Buddha Statue in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, another Holy place. Historically recorded as the birthplace of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Anuradhapura was also the center of Theravada Buddhism for many centuries and has been a major Buddhist pilgrimage site with ruins of many ancient Buddhist temples. A place worth going but I have not visited yet which I love to go some day.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing.

    A strong inspiring story that will touch our heart and soul. Reading and watching those videos in this blog post will definitely inspire and motivate us all. Bill Porter was an American having spent much of his life studying and translating Chinese religious and philosophical texts. He is a translator of Chinese texts, primarily Taoist and Buddhist, including poetry and sūtras. Bill Porter stepped into the ancient Chinese literary world, which changed everything. To many Chinese, he is known as Red Pine and the author of popular books on Chinese hermits and ancient poets. Many had wonder if the Buddhist hermit tradition still existed in China, not until Bill Porter discovered that the hermit tradition is very much alive. So many insights into life in China, and the Buddhist renewal after the cultural revolution the historical refuge of ancient hermits. Dozens of monks and nuns continue to lead solitary lives in quiet contemplation of their faith deep in the mountains. Inspiring each of them , living as simple as possible with what they have. That’s a beautiful understanding of Chinese culture, a rare happening , and should be cherished by all who love the Chinese classics .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Wow this great Lama the third Purchok incarnation the Lozang Tsultrim Jampa Gyatso who had served as tutor to both the Twelfth and the Thirteenth Dalai Lamas . He studied under a number of great masters and became a competent scholar at a very young age. His collected works covering subjects such as commentary on logics, rituals, and biography were compiled into texts. Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche .

    Stinginess is the ticket to a long stay in the sad and barren lands of poverty.

    Making happy offerings to enlightened and ordinary friends is a recipe for spontaneously arising generosity and the joys it causes.

    The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of the Greek sun-god Helios, erected in the city of Rhodes, on the Greek island. An interesting mythology behind this huge statue. It was built between the years 292-280 BCE, to honour the Ancient Greek god of the Sun, Helios recording to history. The people of the city of Rhodes in Greece were saved from a terrible siege and that’s where this statue was built. The Greek mythology was strongly influenced by the ancient Egyptian myths. Sound interesting. Rhodes has been famous since antiquity as the site of Colossus of Rhodes, and was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This ancient town is a step back in time and is one of the biggest best-preserved Medieval settlements of Europe. It’s the oldest populated medieval city in Europe with some 5000 people living inside the castle walls. Worth a visit to see for ourselves the beauty of this ancient town with many myth stories .
    Thank you Rinpoche and Gen. Lobsang Phuljung for this wonderful sharing.

    Each of us have a dark story to tell from the past. Reading again this interesting short posts of personal experiences with HE the 25th Tsem Rinpoche by Gen. Lobsang Phuljung . Black magic spells for revenge are an advanced and destructive form of magic that can manipulate or hurt other people. Everybody has been in a scenario where vengeance appeared to be the perfect idea for resolving a conflict. Even if we employ these curses and spells for revenge we are the ones who gets hurt as well. Negatively impacts our physical health by raising our blood pressure, trigger defensiveness and it turns into a destructive force that can harm ourselves. Life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forwards. May these life experience provide us the inspiration we need to go on in life while learning from it.
    Thank you Gen. Lobsang Phuljung for sharing this untold story with us.

    We should feel gratitude for all that was given to us. The highest giving would be dharma. From those who have given us dharma, we should show a humble and sincere attitude. Always remember their kindness by practicing and applying. Only with dharma can we find genuine lasting happiness. The person who gave us genuine happiness through teaching us dharma should be remembered, celebrated, respected and be shown gratitude always.

    The Sangha has kept Buddhist texts safe over the centuries and has interpreted and taught Buddhist philosophy. The Sangha has also provided inspiration and guidance on how to live a good Buddhist life. Being one of the three jewels of Buddhism, Sangha is an integral part of this community. We turn to these three jewels when we need to feel safety .Sangha is an equally important part of Buddhism where they provides a harbour in time of distress, and at the time of distractions. They help each other to make the journey smooth and spread kindness to everyone around them. It is believed that while walking the path, they will helps everybody to visualize goals clearly and aids in understanding the meaning of life in a better way. Beautiful article by Thich Nhat Hanh explaining the essence of a sangha.

    Yunnan is a province in southern China, bordering Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam as well China is a multi-religious country. Taoism, Buddhism, Islamism, Protestantism and Catholicism are the main stream religions in China. Reading this article again and again feeling glad as the practice of Dorje Shugden had spread to many more places. Showing that it is not a minor practice after-all. Its flourishing to the ten direction. Dorje Shugden stupa is located right in the middle of the beautiful and sacred snow-capped mountains. Yulong Snow Mountain is a famous scenic area in Yunnan, after all. Since then it had attracted many locals and tourist .Looking at those pictures tells all. I have visited Yulong Snow Mountain but not been to see that new monastery where the sacred stupa is built. Hopefully I could visit someday.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

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

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