Message from Alexis:
Thank your for the Medicine Buddha statue. I have received the Buddha with deepest gratitute from JJ today at MBF.
I immediately visited my father-in-law with the Medicine Buddha. He was so happy, he caressed the Buddha many times, he touched the Buddha and blessed himeself with Buddha, he also hugged Buddha tightly and even kissed Buddha tenderly. I was so overwhelmed by the scene that I teared. There is no doubt that he was very comforted and will continue to be comforted by the presence of Medicine Buddha. I would like to share with you these photos as attached.
Kindly convey my sincerest gratitute to H.E. Tsem Rinpoche for blessing the statue, and giving us such a precious and rare opportunity to invite Medicine Buddha home. I would also like to thank H. E. Tsem Rinpoche and the team for working tirelessly entirely for our benefit.
With Metta kindness.
Please support us so that we can continue to bring you more Dharma:

Dear All
I would like to share with you the sacred prayer of Manjushri – A Concert Names of Manjushri (’Jam-dpal mtshan-brjod, Skt. Mañjuśrī-namasamgiti), which consists of 160 verses and mantra sentences. One version is translated by Alexander Berzin, a scholar, translator, and teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, and the other one is from FPMT.

What the surprise gift to given out at 3rd year anniversary at rinpoche blog. Rinpoche always blogging many good story to his blog sharing to many people.Don’t miss the great opportunity to win the Manjushiri statue home. May the blog benefiting thousand of people to seek for help and gain knowleadge.
Just wondering… When it says “All content submitted will be the property of blog.tsemtulku.com.” Does that mean that if I submit any photos together with my text, that I will lose copyright of those photos?
Dear Hakan,
You will not lose copyright of your photos but blog.tsemtulku.com reserves the right to use your photo on this blog website. Hope that clarifies matters!
What a good competition! What more this Manjushri statue is of Rinpoche’s private collection. very blessed! Rinpoche is so generous to give a way these delicious Buddha of Wisdom,
This is quite embarrassing but I would like to join in this competition too. I would like to win a Manjushri statue as well. I love it. Well, I know… Being an old student and already a proud owner of a fab Manjushri statue has not diminished my greed. Anyway, I am plotting away and I do hope to come up something interesting over the weekend and will be doing some self-filming. Well before that, I better get a good hair cut as well. Oh dear, I hope Rinpoche is not reading this… Hehe ; )
Congratulations on the 3rd Anniversary of the blog, Rinpoche! Thank you for always benefiting all sentient beings. I want to participate but is there any specific limit to length of the video? The T-Shirts look AMAZING! Same goes for the lovely statue!!!!!
yes there is.. the video must be 5 minutes long. Good luck!
Congratulations on the 3rd anniversary of your blog, Rinpoche. It is a very beautiful Manjushri statue to bring home. Rinpoche is so generous to give away these beautiful Manjushri statue. Thank you Rinpoche and good luck to all the participant.
这个送佛像的活动贯彻了独乐乐不如众乐乐的精神。
在佛教中，与他人分享自己所学得的佛法知识就是布施的一种体现。而詹仁波切在鼓励众人与他人分享佛法（尤其是这个博客带给你什么转变、好处，或是这个博客教懂你什么佛法，无论深浅）的同时，也不忘实践布施精神——给分享者送上文殊菩萨像（共15尊）。
你可以透过拍摄短片，以创意或任何你觉得适宜的方式与大家分享你的感受、看法；或是写下600-800字的文章，写下佛法如何改善我的人生，以及分享一个有意义的个人学佛经历。
若是你的作品获选，我们将给你送上一尊文殊菩萨像作为答谢和鼓励。希望大家多多参与。詹仁波切对于能将佛像送出去给认真修行，有诚意之人而感到开心不已。大家要好好把握这难得的机会哦！ 😀
It is so characteristic of Rinpoche to celebrate an occasion like the anniversary of this blog by doing more for others again, like giving away these Buddha statues! Well, 3 years into the blog, and almost 2 million views later, we can only imagine how many lives must have been touched and transformed for the better. And indeed, what better way to celebrate this than with Manjushri!
I’m really looking forward to seeing the submissions because in sharing, we are also helping to spread Dharma to others – by our experiences, our insights and our knowledge. If I may be so presumptuous, I think this is one of the things that makes Rinpoche most happy – knowing that Dharma is being shared and that it’s growing. We can make this happen by sharing our own experiences – you never know who you’ll inspire!
In three years Rinpoche’s blog has grown so much as has the viewership and following. Just looking at the wide range of categories is something to admire about this blog, that it is not one dimensional and focussed on a small section of interests. And now there is this simple way for visitors to share their stories, give feedback and win a Manjushri. Just about everything Rinpoche does is reflected in this blog and the blog chat is really a very kind offer from Rinpoche to be accessible and for people to have a real-time chat with a high lama. If this blog represents a part of what Rinpoche does to spread the Dharma, can you imagine how much more is actually being done?
I am looking forward read what participants send in.
Time really flies. I remember Rinpoche has said that years ago when Seng Piow (If I remember correctly)talked about blogging, Rinpoche didnt like the idea. I remember too that Rinpoche does not quite like technologies.
So now what we have is a beautiful blog done by Rinpoche and the marvelous team behind. I trust very much that Rinpoche’s blog has benefited many people around the world. Yes, virtually around the world.
I myself find this blog addictive, there is perhaps no one day when I do not come to this page. Much information and emotion are bundled into this very comprehensive page.
What a cool competition! What more this Manjushri statue is of Rinpoche’s private collection. very blessed! I have shared this blog post on my facebook and twitter for all my friends to see. Please do the same too to share the joy of this competition with everyone!
Oh yes..congratulations Rinpoche on the 3rd Aniversary of blog.tsemtulku.com!!
what photos we need too submit with?
is it the photo that relate to the topic we wrote?
Dear Darwin,
Yes, please submit related photos. It could also be a photo of you as the author of the article 🙂
best wishes,
Sharon
So fast, this is already the 3rd year of this blog, congratulations for the growth of this blog, I remember when it first started, this blog is very simple and not so much information / features like now, but as time goes by, more and more feature has added in, this has became one of my favourite blogsite I will visit these days.
New games, new features and new things has been improvise in this blog, now is the competitions, very interesting and exciting, we must share it with others and get more people to participate…
Dear Rinpoche,
Thank you very much for sharing with all beings on your good teachings and value of the Buddha. I hope to learn more from you from now and as a new learner of Tibetan Buddhism
It has always been my interest to own one statue of Manjushuri Buddha Stupa but never got the chance to do so. Now that the opportunity arises, and as a Buddhist of the Therevadan sect of more than 30yrs, I sincerely believe I deserve one of this such a stupa.
Metta
