Dear blog friends,

You must watch this video and be totally flabbergasted, amazed and inspired. I guess with anything in life you have to want it bad enough by remembering the benefits. What do you have to lose if you go all the way. But you have everything to lose if you don’t give it your all.

Great way to start your day and maybe your life again….Tsem Rinpoche

 

**************

 

 

 

The man who was featured in the video is Mr. Arthur Boorman. When American paratrooper Arthur Boorman returned home injured from the Gulf War, doctors told him he’d never walk unassisted again.


One too many jumps led to chronic back and knee problems making his military workout a thing of the past. The military should really provide help, rehabilitation for their ex servicemen.

For 15 years, Boorman believed them. Consequently, his weight ballooned to 297 lbs at 5’8′.

But, at 47 years old, the disheartened veteran discovered yoga in a newspaper article about DDP yoga.

As demonstrated in this incredible YouTube video, the non-impact yoga workout helped Boorman shed 140 lbs in 10 months.

Yoga isn’t just an excellent weight-loss therapy for troops returning home injured. According to CareForVets.org, yoga is also being used to help treat post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among war veterans who’ve served in Afghanistan and in Iraq.
 
 
The yoga is invented by Diamond Dallas Page, called DDP Yoga. (http://www.diamonddallaspage.com/).

DDP Yoga is not traditional yoga, it’s a hybrid workout that incorporates some traditional yoga movements and adds dynamic resistance, active breathing techniques and power movements to make for a more challenging and results oriented workout.
 

 
 
Before
 
 
 
 
 10 months later
 
 
 
The main benefits are body fat loss, lean muscle growth, and improved cardio levels all without placing undue stress on the joints. A valid comparison to yoga is they both provide increased flexibility and core strengthening.

It is currently used by professional football players, professional as well as amateur wrestlers, MMA fighters, and regular everyday people who want to perform at optimum levels and want to place themselves in the best position to see career and life changing results and improve their quality of life.

DDP Yoga is the evolution of what was formerly the YRG Fitness System, which is best known for what many say is the most dramatic transformation in the health and fitness industry.

    An inspiring man ………….Mr. Arthur Boorman with determination and never give up easily, he manage to shed 140 lbs in 10 months. Incredible using the non-impact yoga workout helped Mr. Arthur Boorman to be even stronger than before his injuries. He discovered the yoga in a newspaper and is determined in what he wanted to do. He has even proof that doctor were wrong as they told him he’d never walk unassisted again.
    He is one inspiriting example for us .Never under estimate what you can accomplished .and when you believe in yourself ,you can success.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing.

  2. Chandra on Jan 20, 2015 at 7:31 am

    This guy really proves mind over matter. Well done.

  3. patriciasnodgrass on Sep 23, 2014 at 6:01 am

    I watched this video often and its a tremendous inspiration.

  4. Carmen Lin @ KMP on Dec 30, 2013 at 8:20 pm

    Mr Arthur Boorman is an inspiring man that show us, with determination and believing in oneself will bring tremendous achievement in life. Throughout our journey we may encounter failure, yet when we found someone that believe in our potential that we could achieve beyond the limitations we and others set, we should not let go of the person’s helping hand nor pushing the person away. We should believe in him but most importantly we must believe in ourselves that we can go beyond the limitations that bind us.

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this inspiring post.

    With folded hands,
    Carmen Lin

    very inspiring video, whatever we think we cant do, actually we could do, nothing is impossible if we put on mind to it, and persevere from start to end, and mentally and emotionally must be strong to tackle the pain and signs of giving up.

  6. Grace( KSJC ) on Jul 9, 2012 at 10:00 pm

    Mr Arthur Boorman ‘s spirit really inspiring !! imaging some of the action even us in good physical may not be able perform. most of the time we easily give up when facing problem or felt frustrate, sometime we choose to run away…never give up !! the spirit really push me up again !!

  7. Lim KH (JB) on Jun 28, 2012 at 4:48 am

    “Practice make Perfect”, Mr. Arthur Boorman did a very good example for us. We should stand up after we fall then learn from the mistake and continue to work for it. We should always make IMPOSSIBLE to “I” “M” “POSSIBLE”.

    Congratulation to Mr. Arthur Boorman, u look younger and healthier at the second photo. And thanks Rinpoche for the sharing.

  8. Sheryl KH (JB) on Jun 27, 2012 at 4:39 pm

    I am pleasantly surprised by the transformation achieved by Mr Arthur. I guess by simply looking at two pictures in this blog, no body can tell that these are actually the same guy.

    Like Rinpoche has said always, we need to want thing bad enough.

    I am very happy for what Mr Arthur has achieved for himself, with his determination, he gives himself a brand new life.

    I always believe that strong belief and perseverance are important in any endeavours, especially in a long hard battle and I see these two qualities in the video.

    Something for us to keep in mind.

  9. Choisheem on Jun 19, 2012 at 5:18 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,
    Thank you so much for sharing this inspiring article with everyone. Yes the yoga program is real good but Mr. Boorman was the inspirational factor in this article. He did not take the words of his doctor who told him he will never be able to walk unaided again. Instead he tried, fell, got up and tried again. He never gave up and now he is walking again without the walking sticks. This is the attitude we should emulate.

  10. pastor ngeow on Jun 18, 2012 at 12:06 pm

    This is another awesome example of the power of mind . Whatever in life we wish to succeed in depends on the strength of one’s mind or will power. The only thing impossible is thinking it is impossible.
    When facing difficulties along our spiritual path , we must possess the same qualities Arthur demonstrated here- by putting effort, having perseverence and determination.
    For 15 years his mind followed what others say and his condition got worse. He decided to take control of the situation and did not give up when everyone else did. He endured falling flat on his face and body while trying and went all the way.

  11. Joy on Jun 15, 2012 at 1:22 am

    These are the type of real life stories that not only is inspiring but makes you take a look at yourself/myself deeply and all the I can’t just seems to vanish. It is a good example and reminder to us that nothing is impossible if we put our minds to it, challenge our selves and never giving up. When we say we can’t do it, we have already failed without even trying!

  12. Albert on May 20, 2012 at 11:05 pm

    What a strong message that tells you mind over matters, even things that we consider impossible, other people can achieve it, so, is it we are incapable for achieving it or our mind tells us not to achieve it?

    I really like this video, Mr Boorman has told everyone off by his action and result, nothing is impossible, it is just up to you to make it possible, when there is a will, there is a way.

  13. wah ying on May 20, 2012 at 9:44 pm

    这看起来并不是一个什么惊天动地的故事,不过它却说明了没有什么是不可能的,相信可能办得到能把一个人从痛苦深渊拯救出来,让他有了从地狱走出来的力量。Boorman那张10个月后朝气散发的写满喜悦的脸孔,那里像是一张47岁人有的脸孔。只要不放弃,奇迹每天都在发生。

  14. Junior on May 20, 2012 at 8:04 pm

    The video is also a good lesson in showing us NOT easy to give up.
    Thank you for this video.

  15. mayy on May 19, 2012 at 6:36 pm

    As long as there is determination and wanting it so badly, nothing matters anymore. Nothing is impossible as long we set our mind on doing it and never waver. Tasks will accomplished.

  16. mitra on May 19, 2012 at 10:25 am

    MR Arthur boorman make possibly .we thinking we cant do ,we can make it ,see what he did?so every thing we can do .we sure can.that is i beleve.

  17. Pastor Chia on May 19, 2012 at 1:24 am

    This video is so inspiration many of us should not give up so early whatever we do.I should again and again even when we fell down.
    Mr.Athur Boormen proved to the world what he can achieve losing his weight and can walk and run like the normal people like before he get injure.
    Thank you rinpoche sharing this video to us.

  18. Tenzin Kyabsum on May 18, 2012 at 9:00 pm

    I teared when Mr.Boorman ran towards the camera in the video. I love what you said, “Never underestimate what you can accomplish when you believe in yourself.”

    Dear Mr.Arthur Boorman, saying that you’re an inspiration to everyone would be the understatement of the millennium. What you showed us doesn’t only apply to losing weight/getting healthy it also applies to our everyday life. Whenever we come across an obstacle, we might fail and fall down but never give up. Consistency and persistence is the key. Thank you for showing us that we can achieve whatever we set our mind to.

    “We may encounter defeat, but we must not be defeated.” ~Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing.

  19. James Long on May 18, 2012 at 8:53 pm

    We are so fixed that everything cannot or impossible. In fact, better try and never do before. We limit ourselves to do more things not because we cant but our own laziness and ego right? He is truly one of best examples, showing us that with determination and faith, we can achieve many things. Be the audience or be part of the Legacy?

  20. tenzin llhamo on May 18, 2012 at 4:49 pm

    For someone to lose so much and realized that is not the end is someone I truly respect! He did not give up on himself even after so many turned him down. Am truly happy he found faith and happiness through his perseverance in helping himself be better.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Sharon for such an inspiring story.

  21. Davin on May 17, 2012 at 5:37 pm

    This is a inspiring news and he show us that with the determination, faith, effort and never give up is what that can bring us to our goal and success. Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this.

  22. philyong on May 16, 2012 at 11:35 pm

    Watching this video made me think of how much I have achieved thus far. What Mr Arthur did was tough but it was for the betterment of himself. In life, if we want to succeed, we have to go through many obstacles and ‘sacrifice’ many of our likes.

    In terms of spirituality, whatever work, or instructions given to us are to help us take a step further to improve. very simple, if we just stay the way we are, we will never achieve anything in life yet we might even degenerate. But if we put an effort to improve ourselves on a daily basis, good things will be there for us eventually.

    Thank you Sharon and Rinpoche for sharing this awesome video!

    I especially love the quote, ‘Never underestimate what we can accomplish.’ As they say, its all in the mind!!

  23. Wan on May 16, 2012 at 2:44 am

    This is truly inspiring..
    If we can control our mind then we can achieve many things, unfortunately we never think to control our mind but only think to control our body. We forget that after death only mind that follow us, our body can’t be function any more.

    In future when i facing problems and thought my problem is very big. This will remind me that its just nothing when i think about what Mr. Arthur Boorman has gone through.

  24. Carmen Koo on May 16, 2012 at 2:40 am

    This is an inspiring example of:

    1. Not giving up
    2. Not letting what others say dictate what you can and cannot achieve
    3. Persistence, Hardwork, Focus and Choice
    4. No poor-me sad stories. It was just a matter of “I choose to do it, I will do it, I am going to achieve it”.

    There’s nothing really for us to lose. The only thing we lose in is if we make the wrong choice – and that is to do nothing about what we are not feeling good about.

  25. yenpin on May 15, 2012 at 11:04 pm

    这是令人难以置信,Arthur Boorman,他的坚强认人佩服,他相信自己一定能做到。本身就是一个伟大的奇迹与转变。当我们开始改变我们的想法。每一个问题将得到解决
    这是一个很大的启发。

    谢谢!!!仁波切与我们分享了这个Video 。

  26. pat on May 15, 2012 at 7:43 pm

    Mr Arthur Boorman created a miracle by just believing he can do it…. and he did it & inspired us ….i believed we can create miracles too if we set our heart and mind towards whatever we want to achieve…

  27. freon on May 15, 2012 at 7:09 pm

    Never Give up. I salute Mr. Arthur whom not giving up and continued the yoga training. Its not easy but he made it, he created a miracle.
    Thanks Rinpoche for the encouragement!

  28. Helena on May 15, 2012 at 4:33 pm

    Truely inspiration for everyone!!! Never say Never and Never give up!

  29. su an on May 15, 2012 at 1:30 am

    I had goosebumps watching this video, at the part where Mr Arthur Boorman started running after 15 years of not being able to walk unassisted. It must have felt really liberating to not depend on anything or anyone just to move from one place to another.

    Mr Arthur Boorman’s story tells us that really, sometimes the impossible is nothing. It also tells us that having someone knowledgeable and experienced in the subject matter to guide us and support us is also crucial in how quickly we can achieve the desired results.

    Besides Mr Boorman’s tenacity to fix himself up despite what the doctors said, I found Mr.Diamond Dallas Page’s kindness and willingness to help Mr Boorman very touching. Most yoga instructors didn’t want to help Mr Boorman because it seemed impossible to turn him around, with his weight, his disability.. but Mr Diamond saw all these challenges and thought “God, I’m gonna help that guy”.

    Because of both parties’ commitment, effort, and perseverance, the world has now 1 additional person who has a true story to show and inspire us to go forth and achieve what we put our minds to achieve. If Mr Boorman had did all that just for himself, he wouldn’t have made this video for the world to see.

    I feel this video is also an example of what are the basic ingredients for the practice of guru devotion in order to be effective in achieving the desired results within a relatively short time, and how such results would not only benefit ourselves but for everyone else.

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this and thank you Sharon for finding such a great story.

  30. Yvonne Yap on May 14, 2012 at 10:02 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche to sharing this very meaningful video, what i get from this video is , ” Dont Give up !!!” nothing is impossible, you never try , you never know, after try, not success! never mind, try again.
    Very Luckly, Mr.Authur Boorman met his Yoga teacher,and he also never give up to his student, he save Mr.Authur Boorman life.
    We shouldnt give up so easily, want to become successful,is not 1 day will happen, so try !!!

    Thank you Rinpoche!
    Thank you Sharon.

    Ps:Yoga is good ! : )

  31. Adrian Cho on May 14, 2012 at 8:01 pm

    Thank You Rinpoche for sharing this post to us and it is so meaningful.
    What I can learned from here is, nothing is impossible that we can’t do. At least we don’t give up…
    This video really inspiring me..
    Just like we don’t give up Dharma and in the end, sure we will get the result.

  32. Datuk May on May 14, 2012 at 5:38 pm

    Remarkable story, so deep and so much to learn from. I learn the following:
    1) When promises made are broken do not just sit around, go do something for yourself. There is a Chinese saying that goes like this “When your horse dies, get off the horse and start to walk”.

    2) Believe in the person helping you and do whatever is requested by your teacher or whoever is helping.

    3) Work hard and never give up.

    4) Always have your goal in mind and whatever it takes get to achieve the result.

    There are many of such stories published, the point is for us to practise what we have learnt.

  33. Joe Ang on May 14, 2012 at 5:27 pm

    Wow!
    Unbelievable transformation! But it’s real!
    Mr. Boorman decided that he wants be able to walk unassisted again and worked whole heartedly to achieve it. It’s truly inspiring what he did.
    We may fall down many times, but if we continue picking ourselves up and keep on going, we will eventually reach our destination.
    Thank you Rinpoche. 🙂

  34. Victor Phang on May 14, 2012 at 1:57 pm

    Truly inspiring man who did not and never give up after 15 years of suffering.

    Sometimes I feel people who is physically fit tend to have weaker mind compared to those less fortunate people. This guy does not possess or use any magic to cure himself, if he has/does I don’t think he will wait for 15 years to do so…

    Obviously the result is extraordinary but achieved by an ordinary person. I always believe everyone has own powerful quality but sad to say many people doesn’t know how to “utilize”, where to “treasure” or totally lazy to “look” for this quality. Furthermore how many of us have such a strong mind as Mr. Arthur?

    Therefore, for us Dharma is very important and is the only “tool” for effective self-realization which could enhance our mind stability and capability. At the same time Dharma is making sure we use this quality with right motivation else it could be extremely harmful and dangerous.

    This video is a concrete evidence about the power of human mind because Mr. Arthur is physically disable as declared by doctors so we can conclude that what he achieved now is due to his extra-strong mind.

    So we should not underestimate what our mind can achieve BUT must come with right motivation.

    Thank you very much for the sharing, Rinpoche.
    Take good care,
    With love,
    VP

  35. Lim Tat Ming on May 13, 2012 at 11:33 pm

    Mr Arthur Boorman is an inspiration to many!

    He demonstrated the power of positive thinking. Our mind is capable of doing more, we can control our mind and direct it towards future happiness and thus change our destiny.

  36. Han on May 13, 2012 at 10:48 pm

    NEVER UNDERESTIMATE WHAT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE !
    Thank you Rinpoche and Sharon for this inspiring post

    In the video, I experienced the strong determination , discipline and commitment from Mr Arthur Boorman. I want to apply his qualities to my dharma practice, I foresee many great works will be accomplished.

  37. Sofi on May 13, 2012 at 4:17 am

    Amazing how it takes just one person to believe in you to achieve such a tremendous turnover. Perseverance, hard work and faith does pay off. I see a mala wrapped around his wrist.. guessing he found his inner peace as well. Great combo!

  38. Adeline on May 13, 2012 at 1:45 am

    What i learned from this post is you can transform if you have strong determination and put in effort even it’s just one person believed in you,never give up hope easily.

  39. DR on May 12, 2012 at 11:39 pm

    When there is a will, there is a way. Mr Boorman is a walking testament of that saying. Being focus in achieving one’s goals and working towards it makes one a winner, no matter how many times one falls and gets up and try again.

    On a lighter note, he looks more handsome at 157lbs! Hmmm, maybe that could also inspire our overweight men to try out this form of yoga!

  40. Garrick Zircon on May 12, 2012 at 10:27 pm

    Thank you for sharing this very inspiring video! 🙂

  41. patsy on May 12, 2012 at 10:26 pm

    With determination and disciple and believing in oneself, nothing is impossible.

    What Mr. Arthur Boorman did was very inspiring and he accomplished all in a short period of time. For 15 years doctors told him he can never walk unassisted, now he proved them wrong and he can even run.

    Everything can be achieved if we set our mind on it.

  42. Jeffrey Yee on May 12, 2012 at 6:56 pm

    Great find Sharon, very inspiring real life story of Mr Boorman.

    Looking at what Mr Boorman did moved me because I realize that i am habituated to giving in to my situations all the time and in the end, never trying to achieve better results. Mr Boorman really proved to me that we can do it as long as we really really want the results badly.

    It is very kind for Rinpoche to push and encourage us to do more with our lives because we are the ones who really benefit from our own actions.

    Thank you Rinpoche for putting up this great post.

  43. william on May 12, 2012 at 5:29 pm

    This is inspiring and that he believed in himself again. Thank you for sharing because it shows that when you out your mind into something, you can do it When you have small wins, it motivates you to do more and have more wins! This is important. And this is what Mr. Arthur did. We need to have determination and strong will to change our condition and challenge our mind.

  44. Erickksiow on May 12, 2012 at 4:29 pm

    Mr. Arthur Boorman shown me ” nothing is impossible in life ” It’s just matter that we want to do it or not. Very inspiring video, it touched my heart deeply. 🙂

    Thank You Rinpoche for always guiding us.

    Best Regards : Erickksiow

  45. andrew hibberd on May 12, 2012 at 3:47 pm

    i am so confident if you own your mind you own the key to anything that needs to be achieved

  46. Uncle Eddie on May 12, 2012 at 1:01 pm

    Anything one really wants in life, and wanted it so badly, one must go all the way to obtain/achieve it at all cost. With the benefits, what do one have to lose by going all the way, rather than to lose everything if one doesn’t. Its indeed beneficial and encouraging to watch this video to get the right aspiration. Like the saying goes,”If there is the will, there is always a way.” Mr. Arthur is well blessed to be able to see it this way!

  47. Natalie on May 12, 2012 at 5:52 am

    Dear Rinpoche, Thanks for that video. By the time it had finished I had a massive grin on my face and a little tear in my eye. I too love yoga as it really helps with my posture. Its great because after only about 20 minutes my back feels a lot straighter.

  48. Chandra on May 12, 2012 at 5:46 am

    What a transformation. Truly commendable! At the end of the day, everything is down to choice. Do we have the courage to make the right one? We don’t always stay the same and that is why hope and conviction is needed.

  49. Koh Hee Peng on May 12, 2012 at 3:24 am

    “Just because I can’t do it today, that doesn’t mean I can’t do it someday” – Mr. Arther Boorman.

    Thank you Rinpoche and Sharon for sharing this post.

  50. JP on May 12, 2012 at 2:13 am

    I have a feeling many people will watch this video clip as losing weight is a very popular topic. hehe. Thank you Rinpoche and Sharon for sharing this video. It’s all about having the conviction to do something in our lives. Anything is possible.

  51. Paul Yap on May 12, 2012 at 12:07 am

    This is a very inspiring story. The lesson of the day is never give up of ourself, no matter how others think and put us down. We must believe in ourself that we will make it and stand up no matter what happen

  52. Louise Lee on May 12, 2012 at 12:02 am

    Never give up ! Seem to be a very easy word to say ! May be some people they cant feel the pain those people gain during they say this word out loud !!

    How about , may i ask you all, DO YOU SCARE FALLING DOWN ?

    I see in my eye clearly !

    1. Parent will do all the best to protect their child, down fall. At the end…… The child will not grown up easily.

    Even myself , i love my family, i do everything for they, but at the end , they dont understand. So why not , we do it together? Let us learn together ?

    2. Some company , you can see the CCTV around in everywhere. The boss always sit in the office or home, check everyone all the time. He scare their staff work lazy , stolen thing and money .

    It is doing like this, the end will change? why not to put down our-self , work together will the team. To gain some respect ?

    NEVER GIVE UP ! NEVER SCARE TO FALL ! NEVER SCARE LOSSING ! WE’LL DIE ANYTIME OUT OF OUR CONTROL !

  53. Sam on May 11, 2012 at 11:56 pm

    I salute Mr.Arthur’s spirit and determination. He really goes all out and never give up. Very inspirational clip and i’m gonna share this at FB. I love this quote in the article: “What do you have to lose if you go all the way. But you have everything to lose if you don’t give it your all.” Well said!!

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing. Take care:)

  54. Darren on May 11, 2012 at 11:49 pm

    What Arthur Boorman shows us is very inspiring. There is no such word is impossible unless we don’t try. With Mr. Arthur determination and believe, he finally able to walk and run again.
    Rinpoche himself had also show us that he slimmed down during his modelling years.

    nothing impossible everything can do.see mr.arthur boorman how he change him self.thank you rinpoche for sharing this post.

  56. Irene Lim on May 11, 2012 at 10:33 pm

    Sheer determination and focus can achieve goals.

  57. bengkooi on May 11, 2012 at 8:32 pm

    Very inspiring story, and another great example of what Rinpoche always teaches us unworthy students to do…
    – Dont be inert
    – Dont accept situations as they are
    – Push to excel and you will be surprised at what you can achieve.

    Rinpoche’s everyday teachings always cover the above topics, not only because Malaysians are a sorry bunch of losers who enjoy the “lepak” culture and don’t push for results. But primarily because if we dont have the above qualities, what chance do we stand of getting anywhere close to that state called enlightenment?

    So if you are inspired by Mr Boorman, wake up, smell the coffee and realise that you can do it too, if you are in his situation!

  58. Girlie on May 11, 2012 at 6:37 pm

    With his Never say Never attitude, Mr Boorman believed that nothng was going to stop him and he proved himself right.

  59. Thierry on May 11, 2012 at 6:09 pm

    BECAUSE I CAN’T DO IT TODAY DOESN’T MEAN I CAN’T DO IT SOMEDAY…

    He said it.
    Then he proved it.
    There is really nothing else to say.

  60. sarahyap on May 11, 2012 at 6:08 pm

    Thank you for sharing with us such an inspiring story! It is heart breaking to see how Arthur struggled in the initial stage when he first started out… however, just like everything, with determination and consistency… he became better.

    I was also very touched how Mr Dallas was determined to help Arthur although so many other centers has rejected Arthur due to his physical condition. Mr Dallas never gave up on Arthur and I think that very confidence he had for Arthur was a strong motivator so that he would press on without giving up.

  61. Pastor Susan on May 11, 2012 at 5:17 pm

    What stood out to me was when Mr Boorman said “..he believed in me”
    Diamond Dallas, a professional trainer obviously have the skills and know how.. but it worked because Mr Boorman was determined, he gave something for Diamond Dallas to believe and give his time to help Mr Boorman. At the end of the day, we can learn from anyone..but it falls back to ourselves. Do we really want it!

    Loves this inspirational video. Thank your Rinpoche, Sharon and the blog team for putting it up on this blog.

  62. henry ooi on May 11, 2012 at 5:16 pm

    This video is about the will to live a better and quality life, perseverance, patience, effort, courage, etc and most of, Never Give Up. Most other people just sink into depression, get angry with themselves and contemplate suicide. Others blame the world but rarely themselves and vent their anger at someone else. But Arthur bravely did right, he picked himself up, pushed his mind and body to the limit and became a hero. And rightly so. How inspiring.

  63. KH Ng on May 11, 2012 at 4:43 pm

    DDP was a professional wrestler in the WWF and was the “bad guy”. I used to watch wrestling a few years back. Hehe! Not anymore. Never thought DDP is such a great guy.
    This also remind me of Rinpoche’s motto. ‘Just do it”. With perseverance and and taking responsibility we can achieve anything we want.

  64. Wendy Loh on May 11, 2012 at 3:49 pm

    If there is a will, there is always a way. Impossible is nothing until we make it something. A totally inspiring video on the tenacity and perseverance of the human strength.

    Thank you, Rinpoche. Thank you, Sharon.

  65. Doreen on May 11, 2012 at 1:54 pm

    It is so inspirational and it all in the mind. What I learnt from Mr Arthur Boorman is that we have to accept the issue, problem and habits we encounter or have, then we can work on it. Without accepting, there is nothing to work on. Once we knows the habits or problem, we have to consistently work on it, falling is one of the experience we have, but get up again and again, never give up. Never afraid to fail, if not we will not know the fall, and will not correct it. And most importantly BELIEVE and HAVe faith in ourself.

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this video, and will share with friends & family in FB.

  66. Ethan Chu on May 11, 2012 at 1:45 pm

    This is so moving and super inspiring… Seeing how he has actually given up his life accepting the facts. No hope but all it takes was just one person to give him hope and believe in him and helping him achieving it. Of course, it’s all depend on ourself whether we want to or not. Just think how many people have given us hopes and we choose to miss the boat simple coz we didn’t want to?

    This is why we should take charge of our lives…

    http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/inspiration-worthy-words/this-is-important-to-know-for-your-life.html

  67. David Lai on May 11, 2012 at 1:40 pm

    This is just a great inspiration for many people out there, especially those who have tremendous insecurity issues over their weight and appearance like me. If this guy can do it so can all of us. This is incredibly Dharmic because this kind of determination can be brought over to many aspects of our lives including having integrity, being kinder, remembering and doing something for those who have been very kind to you and so much more.

    I love this! Instead of belly-aching about our woes, we do something about it so we don’t bring people down with our problems. Love it! Thank you Rinpoche.

  68. Elena on May 11, 2012 at 1:18 pm

    Rinpoche, thank you for sharing the video with us. Mr Boorman is such an inspiration. It just goes to show whatever your motivation – whether you want to lose weight, prove people wrong, walk again – if you want something bad enough, you will do whatever it takes to get it. It’s a matter of realigning our minds to focus on our goals.

    The video is also a good lesson in showing me how people can influence our thinking. When doctors told him he’d never walk again, he believed them. Then when his yoga teacher tells him he can, he believes his teacher. Since our minds are so easily influenced, it’s important for us to surround ourselves with like-minded people who will reinforce positive thinking in us…so for people who think they can practise without a Dharma centre, that is why Dharma centres are so important, because we need to be surrounded by like-minded people!

  69. Jack Ng on May 11, 2012 at 12:45 pm

    Thank you for sharing this, Rinpoche. Om Vajra Pani Hum…may I have strength, consistency and courage to loss all my negativity, laziness and BODY fats!~ See you in less than 6 months time!~

  70. MayOng on May 11, 2012 at 12:42 pm

    Our MIND is a unique part of our brain. If we set out to tell the Mind we need to take certain action, it just does so miraculously. However we also need to be consistent and persistent with the Thoughts in the Mind.

    Arthur Boorman did just that! He did NOT give up and told his Mind to kick into action. He is an inspiration to many of us who said we can’t.

  71. Siong Woan on May 11, 2012 at 12:41 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche! This is definitely inspiring ! There is HOPE for people like me who wants to loose weight 🙂 YOGA classes here I come !

  72. lewkwanleng on May 11, 2012 at 12:35 pm

    It is very inspiring, not so much about the weight he loss, but he started to believe in himself. That itself is a great transformation. Just like Rinpoche said a few days ago in Wesak, we need to go beyond that Religion is about accepting a higher being then every problems will be solved. Things will be OK when we start to transform our mind.

  73. Paris on May 11, 2012 at 11:28 am

    Thank you for this Rinpoche – what a brilliant way to start the day. It’s incredible that something we take so much for granted – walking – is something that many people in this world aren’t able to do. And we still bellyache about all the things we cannot do. A man fitted from head to toe in aids and braces is now standing on his head and running probably much faster than many of us – what the hell do we have to complain about?

    More importantly is Mr Boorman’s CHOICE not to accept what others have told him as being impossible – he didn’t have anything to lose, or anything to prove anything to but himself. I guess he shows that all we really need to accomplish things is a belief in ourselves – sod what the rest of the world thinks, believes or DOESN’T think / believe. And whether we accomplish something or not is not because we can’t, but because we choose not to.

    This links very much to Rinpoche’s recent Wesak day teachings about Choice and other really beautiful teachings that Rinpoche has given like these:

    – You always have a choice, make the right one: http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/animals-vegetarianism/you-always-have-a-choicemake-the-right-one.html
    – A powerful speech on failing: http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/inspiration-worthy-words/a-powerful-speech-on-failing.html
    – The key: http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/inspiration-worthy-words/the-key.html

    Thank you Rinpoche – impossible is nothing, as Rinpoche has told us so very often. Now, we just gotta live it.

    Dear Rinpoche,

    Thank you for this article of great inspiration. It goes to show that with determination, discipline and commitment, anything can be achieved. Be it dharma or our health!

  78. Ethan Hoo on May 11, 2012 at 9:14 am

    This is so inspiring. “Just because I can’t do it today, doesn’t mean I’m unable to do it someday.” Well said!

    A very clear explanation of Vajrayogini by Rinpoche . Reading and listening to the video in this blog explains well. Vajrayogini’s power is her ability to guide practitioners to enlightenment by transforming ordinary experiences, desire, and the ego into spiritual paths. Her form symbolizes the transformation of desire and ego into boundless empathy for all beings. Her practice aims to eradicate the ego, a root cause of suffering and attachment. In return which lead to a more vibrant, kind, and compassionate us.
    Thank you Rinpoche .

    In Buddhism, holy relics are the sacred preserved cremated remains of the Buddha, and other enlightened beings. Holy relics are believed to carry the spiritual qualities, compassion, and wisdom of the enlightened being. And it serve as a powerful tool to connect practitioners with the Buddha’s path to enlightenment. Throughout history, relics have played an important role in major world religions and are considered to hold great spiritual significance. They are revered in Buddhist communities around the world. Sadly to these days only a handful of these sites exist today. These holy relic sites are rare. Many Buddhists make it a point to visit these precious relic sites . Merely by touching, seeing, and even thinking about relics can connect anyone with the spiritual power of the Buddha. Each relic is believed to carry a part of the Buddha’s essence, and worshipping them is seen as a way to connect with the Buddha’s wisdom and compassion. These sacred objects, often including bones, hair, robes, and so on are venerated through offerings and prayers, allowing Buddhists to connect with the Buddha’s wisdom and compassion and accumulate merit. Wow China had many holy sites which housed various relics of Buddha Shakyamuni. Just to mentioned some of these holy sites in Chiana such as Tooth relic at Lingguang Temple, Beijing,Grand True Relic Pagoda at Famen Temple, Shaanxi, Rare skull relic enshrined in Foding Palace, Nanjing and Buddha’s bone relic at Ayuwang Temple, Ningbo. Looking the beautiful relics temple and reading this article is a blessing. More so if we go on pilgrimages to these holy sites.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing.

    Venerable Geshe Rabten Rinpoche was a prominent Tibetan scholar, yogi, poet, and meditation Master . He was a philosophical assistant to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and was instrumental in teaching Buddhism to Westerners. His life story is a classic example of intense spiritual practice, marked by significant hardship and transformation. He is beloved for his spiritual teachings, often in the form of poems, and for his complete dedication to the path of enlightenment. His teachings are known among several schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Geshe was the first Tibetan Buddhist master to introduce the complete Vinaya-tradition .Founded the , Rabten Choeling center for higher Tibetan studies at the lake of Geneva.

    It was through the 6th Panglung Oracle the Dalai Lama had a safe and successful escape from Tibet to India. That’s in 1959, following Dorje Shugden advice and instructions which route to escape. This story in comics form is a great way to let more people know the truth. Senior officials from Monastery eyewitness affidavits signed, they were the monks who travelled together with the Dalai Lama. All these cannot be wrong .A truth and only truth to be shared with.

    Believing that the paranormal can be real, is one way to escape the reality we live in and make it a little more interesting. People sometimes want to believe something more is out there than only a platonic routine life. Not everyone believes in ghosts, but there have been plenty of celebrity ghost sightings over the years. Most scientists deny that ghosts exist, but I do believe ghost rather spirits do exist . Ghosts are ingrained in many cultures, with people rising from the dead or being able to communicate from the beyond. The human fascination for the unexplained plays a big role in this world.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing such an interesting videos. Sound scary. Doing prayers and dedicated to them will be fine as long as we don’t’ get involved with them.

    Opening Eye Chenrezigis a Buddhist practice and form of Chenrezig focused on healing physical eye problems and developing wisdom eyes. The practice involves prayers and mantras to develop compassion and it was transmitted by Lama Gangchen Rinpoche . This practice is designed to train one’s mind in making life beneficial for all sentient beings through the yoga of the Compassionate Buddha. Well this practice has been effective for those who sincerely had engaged in reciting the mantra consistently.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing methods to heal the defects, problems, and disturbances to our eyes.

    Helmut Gassner, is a senior Buddhist monk from Austria also known as Venerable Gelong Jampa. After meeting Venerable Geshe Rabten Rinpoche back then ,his began to have an interest in Buddhism . Venerable Geshe Rabten Rinpoche had impressed him deeply so much so he began studying Tibetan language, Buddhist philosophy, debate and meditation. Throughout his lifetime, he has translated for many high lamas. He translated for HH the 14th Dalai Lama between 1979 and 1995. Helmut Gassner has recognized and value the knowledge of Dorje Shugden . He noticed the positive qualities, acknowledging Dorje Shugden’s significance, and developing a comprehensive, insightful of it. He even received many first-hand accounts of how Dorje Shugden has been extremely useful to the Dalai Lama. Following the Dalai Lama’s move to ban the practice of Dorje Shugden where discrimination and fights happened. The event didn’t bothered him much as he knew the truth that the practice of Dorje Shugden is an integral part of the Gaden Tradition. In 1999 at the Friedrich-Naumann-Foundation in Hamburg, Germany, he bravely spoke the truth regarding Dorje Shugden. His devotion to his teacher, the dharma and the truth compelled him to speak up . Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing .

    Any work done with the teachings of the Buddha alive in our hearts is Dharma work. Some of us share the precious and uniquely challenging opportunity of working or volunteering for a Dharma organization . We must practice with the bodhisattva attitude every day as long as we all try to remember the workings of ego, karma and impermanence .The ultimate goal of Dharma practice is to benefit all sentient beings and lead them to happiness. This aspiration can transform any activity into Dharma work. Copying scriptures, making offerings, giving to the poor, listening to teachings, meditating, and reflecting on the teachings are all considered Dharma activities. Our attitude and intention are crucial for whether our work becomes Dharma work. Even a secular job can become spiritual if we approach it with purpose, and a commitment to benefit others. That’s Dharma work when the work benefits sentient beings and the teachings of Buddha; it depends on the motivation one has and how one does the work. Profound teachings.
    Thank you Rinpoche .

    Chariots of the Gods is a book written back in 1968 by Erich von Däniken. Erich von Däniken is a Swiss author of several pseudoscientific books which make claims about extra-terrestrial influences on early human culture. Interesting the book is all about those many unsolved mysteries of the past, which was an immediate bestseller in the United States, Germany, and many more countries. His books have been translated into 28 languages, and have sold 60 million copies worldwide. Through his archaeological findings has suggested that in ancient times the earth was visited by extra-terrestrials. Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche great 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.

    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
