Don’t let obstacles win

Mar 13, 2014 | Views: 2,056

Dear everyone,

Please read this carefully a few times and contemplate. We should never be controlled by our emotions or act out of them as it’s illusory. We should never just give up and let obstacles win. How to overcome them? Read below. I repeat, contemplate them deeply and discuss it with each other.

 

Tsem Rinpoche

 


Very Ven. Khenpo Karthar, abbot of Karma Triyana Dharmachakra, Woodstock, NY:

“There is not any event that under all circumstances is an obstacle. During your life, sometimes a test situation may arise because of your meditation. If you lack understanding and meditative insight, this test could become an obstacle. However if you have enough insight and understanding, the test could heighten your realization to a great extent. As an outcome of meditative experience, whatever appearances may arise can be transformed through meditative insight into a realization of the nature of all things as insubstantial, uncompounded, and only existing interdependently. Then we do not reject the appearances of existing things, but nevertheless none of these things hold the truth of independence or the truth of substantiality. They are just another play of illusion.

If a person understands and relates in this way, whatever drama appears in meditation could be tremendously uplifting. On the other hand, when you are meditating you may get drawn into whatever arises out of your habitual and emotional conditioning. The appearance may just be your psychological patterns, but for you it is a spirit, it is demonic, and it is real. You will probably be afraid and try to defend yourself. That is not the strategy we adopt in the path of meditation, though.

For instance, when Milarepa was in a particular cave and the so called demons appeared, roaring and thundering toward him, Milarepa said, “Your appearance is most wondrous, and your message is the message of my teacher.” He worked with it in that way. The demon of your confusion does not cling to you; you cling to it. From that point of view, such an event becomes a kind of special treat and a technique that brings more enrichment than the ordinary process. What is really important is how a person is able to work with what happens, so strictly speaking, these neither are obstacles or are not obstacles.”

Please support us so that we can continue to bring you more Dharma:

    Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. We can’t let our failures define us. Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure. Success is never permanent, and failure is never final. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness .Sometimes just reminding ourselves of the temporality of failure enables us to forge ahead and stay focus looking forward . Failure isn’t something many of us can handle gracefully. And even though we know it’s a common human condition, figuring out how to stay motivated in the face of failure .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this profound teachings.

    Obstacles are what happen to us when we’re making other plans. We all have gone through hardship in our lives at some point and almost on a daily basis we have to overcome obstacles. I mean they tend to happen unexpectedly.

    When dealing with life struggles, the important thing is to take care of ourselves physically and emotionally. The difficult times that we experience to handle a problem can open up mind to alternative ideas and solutions. What I’ve found is that everyone reacts differently during difficult times. Some better than others. Having the hard conversation or facing reality is nothing anyone wants to do.

    While the pandemic is a challenge, it is also an opportunity to pray, meditate and to recite mantras to clear any obstacles that arise. Many were able to emerge
    out of the crisis stronger and able to overcome similar challenges in the future. The coronavirus crisis has not made the world unpredictable. It has only taught us how uncertain and unpredictable life is.

    Thank you for the sharing.

    We have anger, failures , disappointment, attachments, and so forth yet never let whatever obstacles along the way to win. Nor matter what we strive even more harder and take full responsibility in our work. Its all about how we handle the situation. I do believe in all obstacles lies a opportunity for us to be better and is a stepping stone. In life there seem to have obstacles , there is no easy path. All obstacles will only strengthen us to continue our journey and never let it win.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this profound teachings.

  4. Parth3 on Jun 24, 2020 at 2:56 pm

    This is very true. Because doubt,anger and other obstacles are bound to come when we set out on the path of spirituality. However, it depends on us how we view them, ultimately everyone of these is a mental “state” which has arisen due to causes and conditions. Hence I believe it would be incorrect for us to be either attached to the “favourable” or aversed to the “unfavorable”.

    I know these are pretty big words and I myself find it difficult to deal with the doubts that come to my mind at times. It’s because I’ve a preconceived notion of how things “ought to be” and this need for control is exactly the thing I believe I need to let go of.

    I believe the learning that I need to take from this one is that I should not be attached to things being/going in a particular way. And I should try to look at things more objectively and not cling to the notions of things being “favourable” or “unfavorable” for ultimately they’re just labels.

    Thanks a million Rinpoche for this wonderful teaching, especially at such a time when I needed it the most.

  5. Jacinta Goh on Jan 10, 2020 at 2:39 am

    I think it’s true that whether it’s an obstacle or otherwise, it depends on how we think.
    I think it’s a blessing in disguise that I wasn’t born into a very rich family. Otherwise, I’ll be a spoilt brat now. I’m not kidding. In fact, I think through all those little hiccups, I can appreciate life more. Also whether I’ll face obstacles during or after retreat, it doesn’t matter. After all, we need to move on anyway.

    Thank you Rinpoche for this article.

  6. Yee Yin on Oct 30, 2019 at 2:43 pm

    Throughout our life, there bound to be obstacles. Obstacles are not bad because they help us to grow, it depends on how we see them. Like what Ven. Khenpo Karthar said, obstacles lead to realisations and can be very uplifting.

    Whenever negative things happen in our life, we have to view them positively because they happen due to our past actions and our actions have ripened. We have to use the negative experiences as lessons to help us transform our mind and become a better person.

  7. Tsa Tsa Ong on Oct 24, 2018 at 11:41 pm

    I think some obstacles can be overcome if our mind is steady and with proper time management. We must also push overselves and have discipline to do more. We also need to be proactive, hard working and work smart so that we can be fast and efficient. Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this short teaching.????

  8. Pastor Han Nee on Sep 26, 2018 at 3:25 pm

    Nothing is an obstacle but thinking and our habituated negative emotions /gross delusions make it so. In reality, as Ven. Khenpo Karthar says, obstacles are impermanent and insubstantial and, in fact illusory. They arise interdependently. Only, from our habituated gross delusions and wrong perception, we falsely see them as real, substantial and permanent and cling to this false perception. We then react negatively. As in the example given, in meditation we see demons and spirits arising and perceive them as real and then our fears arise and our defence mechanism clicks in.

    Thus, when Milarepa was meditating in a cave, and these demons came roaring at him, he responded by saying, “Your appearance is most wondrous, and your message is the message of my teacher.” In this way, he was able to work with them, seeing them not as obstacles but as “tests”.

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this profound teaching on the reality of impermanence and on how we should not let obstacles overcome us.

  9. Samfoonheei on Mar 2, 2017 at 2:25 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for the beautiful teachings.Whatever happen never blame others or excuses but ourselves to blame.Whatever obstacles we faced ,look deep of the problems to solve it.The key to life is accepting challenges and difficulties strengthen our mind ,never give up when we face obstacles.Obstacles are created by own self due to lack of understanding and awareness, there is always a answer to it.Its a form of teaching for us to learn as well. Consistently do our meditation and recite our mantras to clear any obstacles that arise.

  10. Jason on Jan 31, 2017 at 3:39 am

    We should see any hardships or obstacles in Dharma as a stepping stone to us to achieve attainment. Obstacles itself not a problem but it depends how we look at that obstacles. Once we faced obstacles, we must comtemplate and find the solution. We shouldn’t keep complaining because this will lead us to negative mindset.
    We should recite more mantra to tap energy with Buddha or Dharma Protector and get blessing from Buddha or Dharma Protector. This will help us clear obstacles and collect merits.
    Thanks Rinpoche to share this articles.

  11. Stella Cheang on Jan 27, 2016 at 10:43 am

    When I learnt a little bit about dharma, I’d sometimes like to decorate my statements with “oh, these are obstacles arising due to my karma”. From the onset, it may seemed harmless to utter the words and maybe even not wrong, but as I read this article and reflect, I could see the grave mistake that I have made. Always thinking that issues are obstacles actually cultivates more passive traits than positive ones. It disarmed one from seeking for learnings and positivity from the incidents. Issues that arise are neither obstacles nor not obstacles, but it is how we work with the situation that matters. This is a good reminder for me to start looking for the gems in every issue that I encounter.

    Thank You Rinpoche for the teachings.

    Humbly, bowing down,

    Thank you Rinpoche for the beautiful blog article .. Yes Rinpoche we should not run away from problems; instead, develop ourself so much that no matter what problem we encounter, we will have what it takes to overcome it. Clearly understand obstacles are created by own karma..

  13. sandra on Mar 13, 2015 at 10:11 pm

    what a beautiful lama tsongkhapa, and good message ” the demon of your confusion does not cling to you, you cling to it.”

  14. Dense Kuek on Feb 20, 2015 at 9:52 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing. Now I understand and has the preparation that when the time we go for our meditation, that might has some test and we should not afraid or give up our meditation, as all of that is just illusion. Our sadness, depression, fear and etc are just illusion. What we should do is to consistently do our meditation and realize all the ‘obstacles’ is insubstantial, uncompounded, and only existing interdependently.

  15. Hee TS on Dec 3, 2014 at 5:34 pm

    謝謝仁波切無时無刻與我們分享利益衆生的難得的教學,重要的是提醒我們如何對治輪迴的苦難意識,轉換成助缘之器。在生活中最大的障礙是腦海中投射的思想和觀念產生的障礙,重要性是征服我們如何看待一個事件或由負轉正的行動,成為一個鼓勵或教導我們學會成為一個佛法實踐者。

  16. Hee TS on Nov 16, 2014 at 3:03 pm

    感谢仁波切的教诲。如果我们遇到一切障礙,都認为是提升修行的助缘 ,就没有什么障礙可言了。只有此逆境條件方能培養我们成為更強,更好。

  17. Edwin Tan on Jul 11, 2014 at 5:55 pm

    Short yet powerful message.

    I will constantly improve myself to face adversity. I now understand obstacles happen due to my lack of awareness, understanding and meditative insight.

    Thank you, Rinpoche.

  18. Wan Wai Meng on Jun 3, 2014 at 12:33 am

    Milarepa shows much courage to face his demons, which is what we all should when we are facing our demons. We must not falter in the face of difficulties and problems.

  19. Jayce Goh on Apr 21, 2014 at 4:43 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche always share us precious teaching and remind us on awareness of samsara suffering. The biggest obstacles in life is our Mind. The thought and perception projected in our mind create the obstacles for us to proceed in dharma path and pursue with negative action . The importance is to conquer our mind on how we perceive an incident or an action from negative to positive and become an encouragement or teaching for us to learn to be a dharma practitioner .

    If we choose to treat the negative action as pain then we will never transform and learn. The pain is helpless in our life but go deeper and deeper.

  20. Shelly tai on Mar 26, 2014 at 4:20 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this blog post with us. Obstacles is come from our own if we willing to work hard and stay calm when facing this challenge in life then the problem will resolved. The more we encounter this life challenge we will train our mind to become stronger and eventually become a more better person.

  21. Julia Tan on Mar 25, 2014 at 12:02 am

    Everything is in our mind. How we feel depends on how we want think about it. How we think about it, is actually a label we put on it. All of us have this ability to convince ourselves on how to stay strong and over come whatever that come to us. There’s no obstacles if we think there are not. There’s no difficulties when we think this was the training that our guru gave us. It sounds easier talking then doing it. This does not happen over night but knowing the truth I believe by meditating on it we can slowly switch our mind in just a second.

  22. Patsy on Mar 20, 2014 at 2:02 pm

    Obstacles arose from our perception and how we view the obstacles is defined and controlled by us. Due to our habituation we view certain “situations” as undesirable and that becomes an obstacle. However, if we understand that the obstacles are just illusions we should attempt to “battle” against them.

    Thank you, Rinpoche.

  23. terri on Mar 17, 2014 at 5:54 pm

    I met That rinpoche in chicago at a ktd center. He was super nice. I will tell you all about it someday. Sometimes meditation is super scary tho. I had this one time during a 30 day retreat where i saw this poor girl… there was this whole drama like she needed help. I am pretty sure it was imaginary. 30 days for 20 hours a day sitting on a pillow staring at a wall.. maybe it was boredom or insanity but it would make an awesome tv show. it was super trippy but it I really hate when a song gets stuck in my head and i forget to let it go. Right now i keep myself pretty distracted. I live alone and i am scared to turn the tv off. All my zazen training is going to waste man you better rescue meh LOL

  24. Uncle Eddie on Mar 17, 2014 at 3:53 pm

    Acknowledging that the mind is the root creator of everything – from happiness to misery, we must therefore be able to tame and transform it, so that we can use it to generate a proper meditional insight. As said by Rinpoche, “we should never be controlled by our emotions or act out of them, as it’s illusory”. In this blog teachings, it is said by Ven. Khenpo Kharthar that, “There is not any event that under all circumstances is an obstacle. If you have enough meditative insight and understanding, the test could heighten your realisation to a great extent. The demon of confusion does not cling to us. We cling to it. What is important is how a person is able to work with what happens, so strictly speaking, these neither are obstacles or are not obstacles”. They are just another display of illusions. How wisdomise!

  25. nicholas on Mar 16, 2014 at 5:52 pm

    I believe is our own perception to label the circumstances as an obstacles. I always believe everything happen for a reason. If we can understand the nature for all things happen we definitely able to control our emotion and act accordingly when the circumstances arises.

    As Milarepa said all the obstacles as a teaching from his Guru then those circumstances is not an obstacles but a form of teaching for him learn and take the right action to move on.

    Thank you Rinpoche sharing such a profound teaching.

  26. Michael C. on Mar 16, 2014 at 2:07 am

    I’m not sure how deep I went – I can still feel my feet touching the bottom but here’s what I got so far –

    First of all, what is meditation? I can sit and focus on breathing and call that meditation. I can just stare at a picture and call that meditation also. My understanding is that to meditate is to be aware.

    A test is a test of choices. What is behind our choices, what gives them color? Our intention. So I can see what my motivation really is based on which choice I’ve made. Each decision is a test of my motivation.

    My thoughts do not exist on their own and they are not out to get me. I create them myself and by clinging to these thoughts, I perpetuate them. Failing to see my true nature, all that’s left is who I think I am. I think, therefore, I am?

    “I can’t practice because this. I can’t practice because that.” My latest obstacle was a horrible, screeching whistling that crescendos throughout my room when the wind blows fast (and the wind blew for hours).Instead of working with the situation, I chose to turn it into an obstacle, “I can’t practice until this noise stops! It’s not my fault!” Well, in hindsight, all I had to do was move to another location but if I had done that then I would have no seemingly valid and just excuse for not practicing.

  27. Beatrix Ooi on Mar 16, 2014 at 1:45 am

    I strongly agreed with what has been written here. Whenever we are doing something good, the so called obstacles will definitely appear. The decision to fight or not to is in our hands. We have to deal with our obstacles, just like how Thomas Edison did before he could create a light bulb. Without obstacles we will never learn to fight for ourselves, we will never succeed; but letting our obstacles taking in charge of our minds will lead us to nothing but turning us into losers. Obstacle is self-produced, no one can clear it for us except for ourselves.

  28. sockwan on Mar 16, 2014 at 1:06 am

    Such a profound teaching. Obstacles are self created, see every problem as an opportunity for us to grow, to examine how much we have progress on our spiritual practice. The more calm we are when we are facing a problem, the more we have progressed. What seem to be an obstacle can be an opportunity, depends on how you want to see it.

  29. Sean Wang on Mar 15, 2014 at 11:22 pm

    This practice of not allowing obstacles to cause you to fail is absolutely necessary for a perfect life, whether in Dharma or just secularly. Obstacles only appear as they seem to us, we just have to change the perception.

  30. Ong Moh Mei on Mar 15, 2014 at 6:59 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this.
    Circumstances are perceptions and it is how we perceive them that make them into obstacles or not.

    The phrase that stood out for me is “The demon of your confusion does not cling to you, you cling to it.” Okay I admit I don’t quite get it yet to the extend of being able to dissect the depth of this phrase but it’s something for me to contemplate on.

  31. Han on Mar 15, 2014 at 3:32 pm

    “What is really important is how a person is able to work with what happens, so strictly speaking, these neither are obstacles or are not obstacles.”
    With deep understanding and insight meditation, we can win over obstacles,
    thank you Rinpoche for this profound teaching.

  32. So Kin Hoe (KH Ipoh) on Mar 14, 2014 at 11:54 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing on this profound teaching. Obstacles can pull us down to a zero state or lift us up to another higher level of spiritual success. If we are able to recognize and acknowledge that these obstacles are only illusory play in our mind (which are not real) and at the same time we consistently overcome it again and again, our defense system in our mind will become stronger and able to withstand or stay away from any worldly temptation, greed, hatred, laziness, bad excuses, attachments, ignorance and selfishness.

  33. Graceleong on Mar 14, 2014 at 7:46 pm

    “There is not any event that under all circumstances is an obstacle”
    This sentence have to be in my daily meditation and contemplation. When negative changes takes place in our lives, it becomes the core subject in the mind. It shakes and rock our minds so much that we loose control and be taken over by emotions and delusions. The world we expected to have crumbles and so does our minds and body.For some there may be no return to the so called norm. Hence, it is very crucial for those who have the fortune to meet the 3 jewels to learn this teaching and keep it close to our daily practice to NOT allow the obstacles to win the battle.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this teaching. We have endless obstacles in this samsaric life that needs to be subdued.

  34. Pastor Han Nee on Mar 14, 2014 at 6:05 pm

    It is our clinging to our negative habituation and emotional conditioning that makes us see every ‘undesirable’ situation as an obstacle. If we apply meditative insight and understanding, we will transform our negative perceptions of these experiences into a realization of the true nature of all things as impermanent , insubstantial and existing interdependently.

    Thus, we will not reject the appearances of existing things, but see them as not holding the truth of independence or substantiality. They are all merely a “play of illusion”.

    If we can shine the lamp of wisdom, in this manner, on all events and experiences, they will no longer be ordinary or seen as obstacles, but become transcendental experiences.The example of Milarepa and the way he “worked” with the so-called demons show us how this works.

    From this, we see that there are actually no experiences that are obstacles .

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this profound wisdom teaching of Ven Khenpo Karthar.

  35. HelenaC on Mar 14, 2014 at 5:35 pm

    Wow, its simple yet profound explanation on dealing with our obstacles and handling on meditation and contemplation. Thanks Rinpoche for sharing 🙂

  36. Wei Theng on Mar 14, 2014 at 3:18 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for your teaching.
    Milarepa said to the so called demons “Your appearance is most wondrous, and your message is the message of my teacher.” If I look at all obstacles are message from my teacher to train me, there is no obstacle anymore. There is only condition to train me to be stronger and better. So, it is how I can work with that situation.
    Thank you Rinpoche!

  37. Dr. Toni Nixon on Mar 14, 2014 at 10:13 am

    Thank you so much for sharing this. Khenpo Karther is my root teacher and has been profoundly inspirational in my life. He is truly one of the great Tibetan masters.

    I also feel blessed to have found Tsem Rinpoche and have access to his teachings on line. His clarity, wit and style makes the dharma accessible and applicable to all aspects of life. Thank you Rinpoche

    Obstacles are defined by us. We can change the definition.

  40. Reductio_A on Mar 13, 2014 at 10:19 pm

    Practice of Meditation is so important!

    Visiting Tibet, holy Gaden Monastery is everyone dream and a once life time. Of course if we have the means to visit again will be great. End of December 2008 and early January 2009 our Guru H E Tsem Rinpoche with a small group students visited Tibet. Thousands of pilgrims, visitors and tourists around the world have visited this incredible holy land for the last 600 years. Tsem Rinpoche visited Tibet for the first time with an oxygen tank. I am fortunate to visit this holy place with my Dharma brothers and sisters years back.
    With our Guru blessing we went without any without any hitch. Visited most of the monasteries and could feel the powerful energies there. Looking at those pictures in this blog reminds me of trip there.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Interesting….. a ground breaking documentary by world BBC where everyone should watch. BBC did mentioned and documented that Jesus was a Buddhist monk and that he had spent some years in India. I would not know about this till I came across this blog. Many people most probably too. Interesting watch one should not miss. Jesus was a religious leader revered in Christianity, one of the world’s major religions. He is regarded by most Christians as the Incarnation of God. Historical evidence indicates that Jesus was well acquainted with Buddhism. Historical evidence indicates that Jesus knew about Buddhism. Other evidence, while perhaps apocryphal, indicates that he spent most of his so-called lost years outside Judea, possibly in Kashmir to study Buddhism exclusively.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    The Great Buddhas of Bamiyan were two monumental Buddhist statues built around 600 CE. A holy site for Buddhists on the Silk Road, historically a caravan route linking the markets of China with those of the Western world. The two most prominent statues were the giant standing sculptures of the Buddhas .It was the site of several Buddhist monasteries where monks at the monasteries lived as hermits. It was until in 2001, both statues were destroyed by the Taliban . Before being blown up in 2001, they were the largest examples of standing Buddha carvings in the world .Buddhism was eliminated in Afghanistan by the 13th century during the Mongol conquests. Sadly all statues depicting humans in Afghanistan was destroyed. They were perhaps the most famous cultural landmarks of the region, and the site was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Despite the Buddhas’s destruction, the ruins continue to be a popular culture landmark, where many locals, pilgrims and tourist visit the site.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting blog.

    Ven. Kyabje Yongyal Rinpoche was born in Eastern Tibet, recognized as the fourth reincarnation of Kyabje Yongyal Rinpoche. Well he was known for his purity in holding his vinaya vows. Even though he left Tibet in 1959 and settled in India, he had inspired, and supported the Sangha community, working tirelessly giving teachings at Sera Monastery in India . He also continued in protecting, preserving and propagating the Buddhadharma all over the world. H E Tsem Rinpoche first met him about 15 years in Sera Monastery and the last time in Gaden Monastery. Kyabje Yongyal Rinpoche knew that Tsem Rinpoche in New York back in 2013 and decided to meet up with Rinpoche. Looking at those beautiful photos tells all . Its truly rejoiced moment .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing with precious photos taken during Rinpoche visit.

    The general preliminaries are the four contemplations on precious human body, impermanence and death, cause and effect of karma, and the defects of samsara. The special preliminaries are taking refuge, arousing bodhicitta, the recitation and meditation of Vajrasattva, mandala offerings, and guru yoga.The purpose of life is to benefit other sentient beings and the greatest benefit we can offer them is to liberate them from their suffering and its causes. We have to purify all the negative karma and defilements we have collected over our beginning-less rebirths and accumulate extensive merit. These are the conditions necessary for us to actualize the path. Well we have received just this once the most precious human life ,we have to make our life as meaningful as possible. The purpose of doing preliminary practices is for us to purify obstacles to achieving realizations of the path to enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings. I am still doing my best .
    Great sharing thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this important write up .

    The Heart Sutra teaches emptiness through the epitome of compassion. It is often said that, the heart of emptiness is compassion. It’s an attribute by which we sees the suffering of another and experiences true empathy for them. This empathy, in turn, leads the person to reach out and share in the person’s suffering. By helping them to endure whatever they are going through regardless of race and religion. Our prime purpose in this life is to help and benefit others. Well if we can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them. Treat others as we would like others to treat us. Always wish upon others and showing kindness to those who are feeling sad or upset to help them feel better. Lend a shoulder to them to lean on. Emptiness can be explored through meditation and contemplation. By observing the impermanence and interdependence of all things, we can gradually come to understand the true nature of reality. We have to understand the actual words of the Heart Sutra and its meaning within the Buddhist tradition as well as the meanings of emptiness. Will revisit this blog to read, learn more .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this profound teachings.

    The concept of Dharma is considered to be accessible and applicable to everyone, regardless of their religious background. Dharma, in its essence, is about understanding and living in accordance with universal principles of righteousness and ethical conduct. The core of the doctrine of dharma, especially in Buddhism, is about understanding the nature of suffering, the cause of suffering, the possibility of ending suffering, and the path to liberation through ethical conduct, mindfulness, and wisdom. Dharma is the essential teachings to transform our mind towards that of an enlightened being. Learning and putting what we learn into practice helped us to become a better person. Dharma is for everyone, reading those stories as in the blog give us a clear understanding. Nor matter what religion we are , we are taught to be loving, compassion and living peacefully.
    Thank you Rinpoche for these great teachings.

    Generosity is giving more than we can, and pride is taking less than we need. Giving is an action; generosity is a matter of the heart. Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present. Sharing one’s resources and helping others in need. We have not lived today until we have done something for someone who can never repay you. A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.

    n Buddhism, Dharma refers to the teachings of the Buddha and the true nature of reality. It also encompasses principles like the Eightfold Path, which guides individuals towards enlightenment and liberation from suffering. A Dharma attitude involves fulfilling one’s responsibilities and duties towards oneself, others, and the environment. Dharma work helps us to focus on benefiting others instead of ourselves. Each one of us has different ideas, approaches and methods to do dharma work. As long as its benefits others and
    taking responsibility for our own actions transforming others with love and generosity. It is important to embrace our imperfections as embracing puts us on a better path of acceptance and self-discovery.

    Buddhism is one of the most ancient belief systems and is practiced today by nearly 350 million people around the world.
    Bettany Mary Hughes is an English historian, author, and broadcaster, specialising in classical history. Bettany Hughes travelled to the seven wonders of the Buddhist world. Where she documented a unique insight into the seven wonders that explained the long and rich history of Buddhism 2500 years ago . Truly fascinating documentary that’s one should watch. Started off her journey with Bodh Gaya in India, the Bodanath Stupa in Nepal, the Temple of The Tooth in Sri Lanka, Wat Pho Temple in Thailand, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the Giant Buddha in Hong Kong and the Hsi Lai Temple in the United States. At each location, she meets with Buddhist scholars who explain the different concepts that form the core of Buddhist philosophy, giving insight into the long and rich history of Buddhism. Interesting sharing.

    Religious discrimination remains a significant issue globally, impacting various aspects of life. The Dorje Shugden controversy in Tibetan Buddhism involves accusations of religious discrimination against devotees of the Poweful Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden. Dorje Shugden was a powerful Protector associated with the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. H H the Dalai Lama previously practice Dorje Shugden’s practice but somehow later discouraged the practice, citing concerns about sectarianism ,its perceived role as a spirit. Dorje Shugden’s practitioners have reported feeling ostracized and discriminated against by the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) and those supporting the Dalai Lama. The controversy has divided the Tibetan community and has been a source of contention and tension. CTA had breached the rights of every Dorje Shugden practitioners to what they pray . Many families are torn apart by this. Dorje Shugden people had to break away from their monasteries .Religious freedom and human rights are interconnected. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion regardless of race and faith. Religious freedom is one of the most fundamental of human rights. The discrimination that Dorje Shugden practitioners are experiencing today has similarities to other historic bigotry and prejudices such example was the African American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s,and the Women’s Suffrage Movement. Racism affects virtually every country in the world. It denies people their full human rights just because of their colour, race, ethnicity, descent or national origin. The most prevalent discrimination that we see today are national origin and race discrimination. May there be peace,unity, harmony and based on compassion, acceptance and universal freedom of religious choice without discrimination or recriminations of any kind.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    The Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Kerala, India is said to be thousands of years old, built in the Dravidian style, and houses more secrets than most people can ever dream of. That’s interesting. This temple is a legendary secret chamber that has remained unopened for centuries. Legends and local beliefs it is protected by powerful deities and a curse. The door is said to be sealed with a mystical spell, and it is believed that anyone attempting to open it without proper rituals will face grave consequences, having met with mysterious deaths or terrible misfortune. Locals had warns that attempting to open Vault B without proper rituals and respect for the deities could unleash untold calamities and misfortune. Stories abound of previous attempts to open the vault had failed that resulted in terrifying visions and other supernatural occurrences, and tragic fates for those involved. Some believe that the vault contained ancient treasures , wealth and divine relics . Previously temple workers reportedly tried to force open the door, resulting in the terrifying experiences described in legends. It’s not just a place of worship but also a vault of mysteries. Modern attempts using technology have also failed to open the door, as if some force is protecting it. Every attempt to open Vault B has failed. The door remains closed, and no one know of the contents within, whether wealth, divine relics, or something else entirely, are unknown to the world . No one dare to try opening it since at least the 1880s recording to reports. Interesting article .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Revisit this interesting truth where not many people knew the actual story behind . With great effort and research finally the story unfolded. In Tibet, Oracles play, an important part in principal roles assisting governmental decision-making and providing intelligence revelation, religion, doctrine, and prophecy. To this day the Tibetan government still believe and rely in Nechung Oracle. When Nechung oracle took trance, it is actually spirit Nyatrul who has causes problems and misprophecies. Nechung is bound by oath to protect the Dharma. Nechung prophecies are unreliable, most probably given by Nyatrul spirit to the Tibetan government. Such as wrong medication given to the 13 th Dalai Lama as prescribed by the Nechung Oracle. Another misprophecies was during the British invasion. If it was really Nechung who took trance of the Oracle, these types of misprophecies would not have happen. As mentioned in the 6th Dalai Lama biography, we cannot trust or rely on Nechung’s prophecies. It was said that Nyatrul not Nechung who created the problems and harm to Dorje Shugden . It must have told HH the Dalai Lama to ban Dorje Shugden .
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor Jean Ai for this interesting article.

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

Find one of the most beautiful temples in the world in Nara, Japan. It is the 1,267 year old Todai-ji temple that houses a 15 meter Buddha Vairocana statue who is a cosmic and timeless Buddha. Emperor Shomu who sponsored this beautiful temple eventually abdicated and ordained as a Buddhist monk. Very interesting history and story. One of the places everyone should visit- https://bit.ly/2VgsHhK

  • What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    8 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
