My reasons for doing a movie | 我拍电影的理由

Dear friends,

 

Many years ago I was in the car with one of my teachers. He told me I should write a book about my life story. I politely declined. I thought there is nothing much I would like to share about my life nor would it be of interest to anyone. He insisted. He talked for quite a while telling me that I may not be interested or find my life interesting, but others may. It would inspire others. I was flabbergasted thinking I CAN INSPIRE OTHERS???? I really from the depths of my heart never thought I can inspire others nor have the aspirations to do so. But my teacher insisted strongly. He said I would inspire others therefore benefit them on their life’s journeys and I must write a book. He meant it would help in their life’s struggles..

I thought about all the things that happened to me both good and very painful and I didn’t know if I really wanted to talk about it. I wasn’t really ashamed, it was more, what for? What happened to me happens to alot of people…but I guess I trusted the unfailing wisdom of my teacher..to write and share what happened to me and my struggle throughout my life to do what I wanted to do which is Dharma or to fulfill a dream..I guess it’s a story of not so much I struggled to do dharma, but I struggled immensely to do what I wanted… I promised my teacher I would write and this was over ten years back.

 

Well my team of people were working on my book. They have travelled to US, Taiwan, Tibet, Xianjiang to research my life, some important locations are like Howell, Turkey Swamp etc…A shorter form of the book (The Promise) has already come out and many like it, but the actual full length book is not complete yet.

 

 

Recently an idea to do a movie of my life story came out. I thought about it carefully and consulted my teacher. The answer came that it would be beneficial and would affect many in positive ways. So there and then I decided I would like to do the movie even though I am not excited about it myself. So although the full book is not finished, we can use the the script and The Promise book for now…

I have not found the producers, funds, people, talent to get this together yet. A short script is ready though….But the movie should manifest sooner or later. I am describing here to you about the movie and towards the end of the video Sharon Saw does a wonderful narrative with great pictures. I had not seen the video/combined with pictures before this and I was impressed at the quality of the pictures, the flow and narration. Sharon did a good job. Thanks Sharon for such a great narration…. Kechara did a good job to help illustrate my life in a short video…thank you…

 

 

Take a look at the video please and let me know your inputs for this movie. What you think? Any suggestions? Any more ideas? I really would like to hear from you how we can get this project going. I am not particularly excited about my story being told, but I do trust my teachers and I will keep my promise to them.

 *******************************

 

各位朋友们,

在 多年前,有一次我和我的一位上师共乘一车。上师告诉我,我应该写一本关于我生平故事的书,当时我婉言谢绝了,因为我觉得我的生平故事没有什么值得与他人分 享之处,而且也没有人会感兴趣。但是我的上师坚持要我写这一本书,并对我说,也许我对自己的生平不感兴趣,或者认为没有吸引人之处,但其他人却不会这样认 为,很多人甚至能够因此而受到激励和启发。当时我也受宠若惊,脑子里想着“我真的能够启发他人???”我真的打从心里没想过我有能力激励他人,也没有过这 样的打算。但我的上师还是强烈坚持,他说我肯定能够启发他人并利益他们的人生道路,因此我必须著书,上师认为那将会帮他人在生活困难中得到帮助。

我 认真的回顾了我的生活点滴,其中有痛苦的,也有欢愉的,但我不知道该不该说出来。我并不是觉得羞耻,只是不知道会有何意义,因为发生在我身上的事也同样发 生在他人身上。。。但是我坚信上师的圆满智慧,所以我决定把我的故事写出来——关于在我身上所发生过的事迹,还有我为了追求佛法而毕生面对的挑战和挣扎等 等。。。但它不全然是对佛法的追求,更重要要表达的精神是——一个人对自己梦想的追求。

我的弟子团队已经开始着手制作我的传记一书,他们千里迢迢、跋山涉水去过了美国、台湾、西藏、新疆等地进行寻根调查。最近,我的精简版传记《承诺》已经出炉了,口碑还不错,但完整版的传记还没有完成。

最 近有人建议把我的生平故事拍成电影,我认真考虑了,也请教了我的上师。上师的回答是那将会为他人带来利益,并能够正面和积极的影响很多人的人生,于是我便 决定要进行拍摄传记电影的计划,虽然我并不对此感到兴奋。现阶段虽然完整版的传记还没完成,但我们可以使用电影剧本和《承诺》书中的资料。

目前我还没找到电影制作人、资金、人材等来开始进行拍电影事宜,但我们已经有了简短的电影剧本,最终这部电影将会完成的。

我在以下视频里讲解了拍传记电影事宜,之后我的协调助理苏舒美为预告片做了精彩旁述,之中还有很珍贵的照片片段。我看了该预告片后认为制作得非常棒——精彩的照片,流利的剪辑和旁述。苏舒美和克切拉成功地用该预告片简短的叙述了我的生平。谢谢你们。

请观看该视频,然后让我知道您的感想。您有什么建议和点子吗?我真的很想听听您的意见,好让这个计划能够更顺利进行。

我对叙述自己的生平故事并不感到兴奋,但我信任我的上师们,并会坚守并履行我对他们许下的承诺。

詹杜固仁波切

    Doing a movie story of Rinpoche will definitely inspired and benefits more people. As Rinpoche had kept his promise to write a book of his life story . A long arduous journey of uneventful, travelling half the globe to India to be ordained and later ask to bring Dharma teachings to Malaysia. Keeping his promise to his Guru, Rinpoche has already benefited countless sentient beings through his teachings on social media…blogs and U tubes . Rinpoche quest will be a lesson and inspiration to all. Throughout Rinpoche’s life solely to do Dharma and to fulfil a dream and promise to his Guru. Rinpoche specking up against the odds of the ban on Dorje Shugden was one to be known .
    Wow….thank you writers team who were working and researching on the book and film…… travelling from one corner to another across the globe to search for more answers. We are very fortunate to have received all teachings from Rinpoche. Good video to watch.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    A poem inspired by seeing a picture of my teacher, Kyabje Zong Rinpoche…

    In the sport of correct views,
    all that is correct is just a view,
    without permanence or substance.
    As long as we hold onto views,
    our sufferings are gathered 
    to be experienced without end.

    Without the strong methods of emptiness
    and compassion, bereft of merit,
    we sink deeper without respite.
    To arise from this samsara is but
    a dreamscape on the deluded mind.
    Therefore seek the guru, who confers the yidam,
    hold your vows and fixate on liberation 
    free of new creations. Free of new experiences as 
    there are none. 

    ~ Tsem Rinpoche

    I was walking past a second hand shop on Western Ave selling old things. They had a Japanese-style clay Buddha which was beige in colour on the floor, holding the door open. I thought the shopkeeper would collect a lot of negative karma without knowing if he kept such a holy item on the floor as a doorstop. So I went in to talk to him, but he didn’t look like he wanted to talk or that he even cared. So I asked him the price and he said US$5. I purchased it so he did not collect more negative karma. I was 17 years old and that was in 1982.

    I escorted my new Buddha home and washed it lightly and wiped it. I placed it on my altar and was happy with the Buddha. I would do my meditations, prayers, sadhanas, mantras and prostrations in front of this shrine daily. When I left for India in 1987, I could not bring this Buddha along and gave it to a friend. It was a nice size and I made offerings to this Buddha for many years in Los Angeles. In front of the Buddha I placed His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s photo. I remember I was so relieved that the price was affordable. But US$5 that time was still expensive for me but worth it I thought. But I was happy to have brought the Buddha home. Tsem Rinpoche

    感恩仁波切的开示与教诲

    仁波切总是离开他的法座,来到了我们当中,用最适合的善巧,与完美的方式接近我们,看似一场邂逅,然而多少人能够明白,仁波切背后的动机,其实是一份满满的承诺与满溢佛法的爱,为了渡化我们,总是想低调的仁波切,不得不走入人群,为的不是名利,而是为了弘扬佛法

    仁波切曾多次强调,如果有选择的话,他会毫不犹豫地回到母寺,进行各种闭关和修习佛法。这才是他今世最理想的生活方式。

    但是,为了圆满对上师的承诺,仁波切毅然走寺院大门,在这里教佛法。仁波切说,他一点都不怕吃苦,只要可以完成自己的诺言,再苦也算不了甚么。 在这个利慾充斥的时代,还有人为了一个承诺;而不畏惧所有的困难和痛苦

    仁波切的一生,是一个乘愿而来的伟大故事,祈愿能早日完成一部电影,我相信,这故事讲激发无限有情众生的心灵,给我们带来无限的利益

    感恩仁波切,祈愿您长驻在世,常转法轮

    Rinpoche’s life story is something that should be shared by many and inspire many more. I think that Rinpoche should do a movie about Rinpoche’s life as that would make people learn more about Rinpoche and be inspired to go further into their current practices.

    Rinpoche’s childhood was not a normal one and was quite full of suffering, when people see this on the silver screen, they will be inspired to do more Dharma as they do not have the obstacles that Rinpoche had as a child.

    Rinpoche’s movie would be an instant hit as many people are interested in watching films about inspirational people like Rinpoche.

    Personally, I would like to do anything I can to help with filming or acting or whatever necessary. It would be a huge honour.

  9. Han on May 7, 2012 at 9:08 am

    I have watched the video many times, the more I watch, the confident and passion to produce the movie in me increase. Regardless of how other people think of the IMPOSSIBLE of making Rinpoche’s movie, as a production people in Kechara, I want to maintain the determination of getting this movie done by talking, meeting many many experts in the film industry all over the world.

    It will be a great honor to be involved in this project.

  10. Wan Wai Meng on Apr 2, 2012 at 11:43 am

    I feel rinpoche will inspire many people of the hardships of wanting to practice, I mean sometimes we read about stories of how much suffering a spiritual master had to suffer to practice the buddha dharma, but Rinpoche was a minor when he tried to run away and wanting to fulfill his destiny. It is a story of not giving up and determination to overcome everything for a very high and beneficial goal. Rinpoche is monk to benefit all beings, and I think the world would gain from being aware of the story of Rinpoche who went through so much mental and physical problems and difficulties to achieve what they believe in.

    It will give people perpectives about what they went through and perhaps make their situation seem lighter in one aspect and give more methods or ways for people to face their issues. Rinpoche’s story inspires me.

  11. Siong Woan on Mar 19, 2012 at 9:38 am

    As the saying goes: A picture paints a thousand words.. I am sure a well made movie would be a far better media than still pictures!

    A movie about Rinpoche would definitely be an evergreen and go down in history!

  12. Datuk May on Mar 18, 2012 at 4:51 pm

    The purpose for making a movie to benefit others is so profound. Rinpoche’s life had not been easy and yet Rinpoche has risen above all the problems and sit on a throne to benefit people and founded the largest vajrayana center in Malaysia.

    What an inspiration! Make the movie, Rinpoche and many will relate that when we let go of our pains we can be of much use to others and self. Even some of us who hangs on to our pains, by focusing out to benefit others, our pains will subside.

    This is what the movie will be about. May the Movie of Rinpoche’s life manifest to benefit others in this modern and degenerate era.

  13. yenpin on Mar 17, 2012 at 6:59 pm

    仁波切说,要将他的一生拍摄成电影,电影我们看的多。高僧的一生拍摄成电影却很少,这是克切拉拍摄第一部电影。值得期待的一部电影。
    它將能夠告訴大家。仁波切在弘扬佛法所經歷過多痛苦、多悲痛的事情,都能一克服。
    不要因為他是一位仁波切而覺得他跟我們有什麼不一樣。仁波切跟我们分享的是,不管我们經歷過多少坎坷的路程,都能一一克服。

  14. beckyyap on Mar 17, 2012 at 6:36 pm

    Rinpoche biography is very touching to people, how Rinpoche went through all the things when he was young and for Dharma.
    I think this movie definitely will inspire a lot of people to their life. They may get touched for watching Rinpoche’s story and might get some thoughts or realization about their life isn’t that worst than that.
    Hope that one day they will find out Dharma to help for themselves and others. To make our life more meaningful.

    I’m very excited to see the movie…!!!

    Thank you Rinpoche!!

  15. Nani on Mar 17, 2012 at 5:57 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche.
    I thik this movie can bring people to Dharma, and change their life.

  16. Louise Lee on Mar 17, 2012 at 5:53 pm

    谢谢仁波切与我们分享他的过去!!

    因此也证明了, 痛苦的过去不代表,失败的将来! 仁波切常常教导我们, 把这一切看为师! 应该更坚强, 面对! 这就是最好多学习过程! 向我们拥有佛法的,我们可以把这放进去, 那么就会容易的渡过了!

    非常希望仁波切的这套自传可以尽快在大银幕! 让更多无助的, 快点醒来! 为将来带来改变!! 

    Kechara World Peace Centre 快点建好!我要把来自世界各地的家人朋友, 带来我的天堂!

    Thank You that who makes this video ^^ My goose bumps when i see this, ” The Promise” ~~ WOW!!
    This movie is a MUST to produce!! MUST!!! I am very sure everyone knows that this movie definitely will benefits to billion, even zillion people around the world, im not trying to stand on whoever side, i’am just telling the TRUE! Every Rinpoche’s teaching is logical.
    “The Promise” !! Excited!! ^^, Thank you everyone of your hard work!! ADD OIL!! = p ^^,

  18. kumar on Mar 17, 2012 at 5:45 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche.
    I like Rinpoche this video.
    I’m very happy to see rinpoche movie coming out.

  19. Helena on Mar 17, 2012 at 5:29 pm

    I can’t wait for the movie about Rinpoche’s life after reading and watching what has Rinpoche explained to us. I totally agreed that it is a fantastic idea to do a movie as its really will benefit and inspired many people, especially those who are lost in their spiritual practice, and of course the people who are seeking their spiritual path.
    I totally understand it will not bring any benefit to Rinpoche besides criticism perhaps, but i believe as long as the motivation is to benefit many, people will soon understand, its just the matter of time.
    I am giving my full support!!!!!
    Thank you Rinpoche for explaining this to us and always so caring.

    Much care, Helena

  20. Paul Yap on Mar 17, 2012 at 5:19 pm

    Its a great idea to make a movie of the 1st Malaysian Rinpoche, everyone around the world will be inspired by Rinpoche’s life story, and will come together for KWPC, and yes, we will do everything, including becoming the tea boys and girls to serve Rinpoche!

  21. Mayy on Mar 17, 2012 at 1:51 am

    How Rinpoche gone through the rough and tides of life to realise dreams would definitely help and benefit many people. It moved many now and it will even move many more when it is made into movie. An outreach where most people will relate much easier.

  22. LilyT on Mar 17, 2012 at 12:56 am

    I had the privilege to be included in the viewing of this video at KD this evening. Just watching this short video is already an inspiration, let alone a full length movie. Rinpoche had to endure tremendous hardship to fulfill his calling with the sole aim of benefitting others.

    I pray that the movie will manifest without any obstacles.

  23. Hui Keng on Mar 16, 2012 at 1:44 pm

    Rinpoche’s life story is truly inspiring. If his life story is produced into movie it will certainly be a spiritual legacy to benefit many people around the world for many generations to come. Those involved in this movie will gain tremendous merits and realise their personal goal for sure. How wonderful if a suitable director and producer will come forth quickly to realise this dream.

  24. DR on Mar 16, 2012 at 12:50 pm

    Such an inspiring life story should be told and shared with all. A teaching that regardless of the circumstances that one is born in to, one can make good one’s life as it is all in our hands. A picture paints a thousand words, let alone a ‘moving one’. I pray that this movie will manifest soon and that I will be able to contribute to its manifestation.

  25. Yokefui on Mar 16, 2012 at 10:40 am

    I had spoken to several people coming from broken home or abused childhood. After I had listened to all their stories I always told them how Rinpoche lifted himself out of his own difficult situations , transformed them into a path that ultimately brought benefits to so many. 8 out of 10 times it worked. People would stop their “poor me” habits and slowly let go of their unhappy memories.

    Making a movie out of Rinpoche’s life story will inspire even more people.

    Students of His Eminence are constantly working on this. Any one out there willing to offer help in any kind, please contact the Liaison Council or Kechara House.

    Thank you.

  26. Margaretlee on Mar 3, 2012 at 7:29 pm

    Rinpoche’s motivation for this movie is purely out of compassion, Rinpoche is always thinking of ways to impact people’s life in a good way, to reach out to more people so that they too have a chance to start their spiritual journey to ultimate liberation. Planting dharma seeds and imprints whenever and wherever Rinpoche can.

    As I am typing this, I suddenly have a surge of tearful emotion as I recall my guru’s tireless and compassionate guildance to me and all his students. ve

    We must all get our eyes and ears out…..look for sponsors, director and producer…..must continue to do this……..until we have the right resources to make this movie manifest!!!

  27. Jamie Puon on Feb 29, 2012 at 3:59 pm

    In my opinion, I know why Rinpoche wants to make a movie, it is because wrong mind enjoying movies will have wrong views, he wants to lead people to the right view, about how a person come to success. Please forgive if I am naive.

  28. Jay Jae on Feb 8, 2012 at 12:40 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,

    listening to Rinpoche’s life story is never boring. Rinpoche can tell the stories for many times and I can read the same thing over and over again and it gives me inspiration to do the Dharma I need to. Rinpoche’s gurus cannot be wrong and it is from their far-sighted wisdom and pure blessings which have made Rinpoche available for us today.

    I do not know of anyone now but will definitely keep a look out for people to make this happen!

  29. Adeline Woon on Feb 4, 2012 at 6:29 pm

    Dear all, I’ve came across Kickstarter that serves as a funding platform for creative projects. Please visit http://www.kickstarter.com/ for further info.

  30. David Lai on Jan 30, 2012 at 2:45 am

    Dear rinpoche,

    I watched your whole video and I am moved to tears. I am always moved to tears by Rinpoche’s story and that’s not just because I am a cry baby but I am inspired. The amazing trials and tribulations rinpoche went through in your life just to practice the Dharma blows my simple mind away.

    I think your Guru is right. You story is THE necessary tale to be told today as most people today are so caught up with problems so trivial and selfish, they let it drag them down. So, your story with all the gritty realities of hardship and struggles would moved people to think out of their selfish mode of thinking. I think if your story can be told through the medium of a movie would be best as it will reach more people than a book.

    I rejoice and it gives me inspiration to learn up more of your life. I would like to learn up so it will be good examples for my explanations of Dharma and that I can use it inspire others because my own story is not as inspiring. I hope I can help others to learn more about Rinpoche because it inspires faith in the Dharma and open the doors of KWPC to become a reality.

    Thank you Rinpoche.

  31. Girlie Ooi on Jan 27, 2012 at 5:12 pm

    It is important for this movie to be produced, for all the many reasons stated but mostly because it was a promise made by Rinpoche and knowing Rinpoche’s level of utmost guru-devotion this project will take off!!

  32. lucy yap on Jan 27, 2012 at 2:17 am

    Dear Rinpoche,
    To me,Rinpoche have always benefit others!A movie is a great addition.Rinpoche’s sad childhood,struggles,determination and loyalty will be an inspiration to others.It will be a beautiful story with a happy ending.
    Agree with Yoke Fui that we should start promoting and raise funds.
    Thank you Rinpoche,for sharing Rinpoche’s lifestory.

  33. lucy yap on Jan 27, 2012 at 1:58 am

    Dear Rinpoche,
    To me,Rinpoche have always benefitted others!This movie is another great addition.
    Rinpoche’s sad childhood,struggles,determination and loyalty will be an inspiration to others.
    Agree with Yoke Fui that we should start talking and raise funds and contact to let people be aware of this movie.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing Rinpoche’s lifestory.

  34. tenzin llhamo on Jan 26, 2012 at 4:43 pm

    It will be a FANTASTIC movie! We can actually watch what and how much Rinpoche did just to benefit beings. And YES, I want to be a part of Rinpoche’s Movie team to help out. It’ll be such an honor to be part of it. May the movie help those in need and bring them to Dharma.

  35. fang on Jan 25, 2012 at 11:39 am

    Totally excited with the news of this project~ i could help find resources and manpower!

  36. Nga on Jan 25, 2012 at 6:13 am

    Dear Rinpoche,

    I strongly feel that the story of your life will inspire many people, especially those who share the same dreams as you do, to never give up their dreams and keep pursuing them, until their goals are reached, despite so much hardship that they have to bear, as you have during your childhood. This is another amazing story of reincarnation and it was so touching to watch, even just a brief part of the future movie. I will pray for the success of your dreams and that your movie will bring most benefit to all sentient beings who have the chance to watch it. My heart and prayer are with you, Rinpoche.

  37. JP on Jan 25, 2012 at 3:15 am

    Dear Rinpoche,

    I fully support Rinpoche’s movie project. It makes a lot of sense to tell people Rinpoche’s story which is full of trials and tribulations. Yet Rinpoche still exudes love and compassion.

    I think all of us who supports this project should start talking to people who are either in the movie industry or knows of people in the movie industry.

    Just last night, I went to my friend’s Chinese New Year open house gathering, and my friend introduced me to a Hong Kong film director, Mr Choi because I have been telling my friends for months. My friend engaged him to do a Hong Kong movie to promote his company’s cookies. Yes the main actor was eating his company’s cookies throughout the movie.

    Mr Choi said that he’ll take a look at the treatment that we have and will advise accordingly. He said that he specialises in action movies such as police and triad movies. If we engage his company’s services, he’ll introduce another director who specialises in artistic/drama movies. His big boss is a Tibetan Buddhist as well. He said that his boss might even finance this project.

    I’ll pass him Rinpoche’s The Promise and email to him the treatment for his feedback.

    Another friend from the same gathering who heard me talking about making a movie said that she’ll invite me to join an online forum for people in the movie industry from the States and Europe. I can post my questions on this forum and even get people interested in this project. She made many friends from the movie industry at the Cannes Film Festival recently. She said to meet up again so that she can pass me her contacts from movie producers to investors.

    I pray that the months of talking to people I met regarding this project and many other Kechara projects will come into fruition fast as time is of the essence. I feel that if everybody continues to talk about this project, join forces and push for it, a movie will manifest very quickly.

    If my friend can do a movie just to promote his cookies, I think Rinpoche’s movie is not that far fetched.

    Regards,
    JP

  38. Albert on Jan 25, 2012 at 3:08 am

    Yes, this movie will be very beneficial to people from different ages and levels, many people in this world now are feeling that they are having very difficult times and they are the one that suffers the most, but in fact, what they suffers are very minor as compare to many more people in this world, this movie will show them what they have not experience, the life of Rinpoche and what Rinpoche has been through but yet, today, Rinpoche has became someone very comapassionate and kind, this will show many people what is it mean by real difficult times / suffering.

    Many people nowadays never like to read, by just having a book might not be good enough, people like to watch movie, hence, a movie will become a very good teaching / inspirational material to many people.

  39. nicholas yu on Jan 25, 2012 at 2:41 am

    Dear Rinpoche,

    I personally feel that visual media is the most effective way to get people attention and understanding. Movie tend to give an great impact/imprint to the viewers emotionally.
    Event young age kids will register to their mind for something unique & attractive to them.

    Rinpoche message in this movie is to create awareness of spirituality in this modern and materialistic world. Through Rinpoche’s life story, a lot of people will be inspired and benefited. It will give hope to people.

    With this movie a lot more people understand Rinpoche lives is to create an institution of learning for modern people to think and learn in accordance with spiritual values. KWPC will be a legacy for that a lot of people will come by as a join force to support this great work.

  40. yek yee on Jan 25, 2012 at 2:01 am

    当听我第一次听到仁波切说,要将他的一生拍摄成电影;我的第一个想法是,天啊!这将会激发多少人啊?了解仁波切真正的性格的人就知道,仁波切为人十二分低调,不喜欢将自己的私生活公诸于世。可是,为了佛法,为了更加容易利益更多的人,仁波切放弃了个人的喜好,走出幕前,这点真叫人感动。

    仁波切曾多次强调,如果有选择的话,他会毫不犹豫地回到母寺,进行各种闭关和修习佛法。这才是他今世最理想的生活方式。

    但是,为了圆满对上师的承诺,仁波切毅然走寺院大门,在这里教佛法。仁波切说,他一点都不怕吃苦,只要可以完成自己的诺言,再苦也算不了甚么。 在这个利慾充斥的时代,还有人为了一个承诺;而不畏惧所有的困难和痛苦,只管往前冲,我想这样的一个人,他不一定要是位知识渊博的佛教精神导师,就算只是一名普通的百姓,这份道德情操也足以叫我们钦佩吧。

    一部电影,最长的播映时间可能是三小时,但背后的教育性意义,若能让它持继下去;从而影响你的人生走向,那这部电影,肯定有看头。尊贵的詹杜固仁波切的电影,就是以这份使命来完成其拍摄的工程,所以它绝对不是只一部电影那般简单,它包含了转化你此生的心灵影片。

    不要在此刻问我如何影响,这答案我给不到你,只有你自己才能给自己最好的答案。

    最后:尊贵的詹杜固仁波切=一部电影@你的答案。

    Dear Rinpoche,

    This movie must be made and produced.It will benefit,touch and inspire many many more people than the printed word will. People today, as Paris says, like watching movies but don’t like to read.Even without the movie, Rinpoche has already reached out and inspired so many people towards greater peace and happiness, and changed so many lives for the better. With the movie, lots of people out there who don’t read and who have not come on to this blog or accessed Rinpoche’s teachings on Youtube, lots of especially young people who badly need the messages and teachings contained in Rinpoche’s life story, will watch the movie and benefit from it.

    It will also draw people to the institution that is going to be a life-line to the spiritually starved people of this modern age, the Kechara World Peace Center. It will garner tremendous support for it in terms of funds and resources as well. People will be very keen to be part of the institution and all because of the movie.

    So the movie is necessary.Sharon’s short clip already whets the appetite for more of the same colorful and interesting and moving details of Rinpoche’s bio.

  42. henry ooi on Jan 24, 2012 at 4:01 pm

    Making this movie would benefit many people to understand more of Rinpoche, Rinpoche’s aspirations and vision. For now there may not be a professional team or the funding to make the movie but as word gets around these resources will manifest.

    This movie will bring forth many people who will assist in building KWPC. Like Rinpoche said, let us leave a legacy behind when we leave this life, a legacy for the next generation. A legacy that will benefit many more in the future.

  43. mayy on Jan 24, 2012 at 3:25 pm

    Having to make your life story into a movie will definitely inspire many out there. It is always a movie that will make more impact on someone’s mind compared to reading a written biography. When there’s music, story in motion/action movie always catches one’s attention and ingrained into one’s mind easily…imprint.

    Even with recent The Promise book and Rinpoche’s blog both has inspired many, why not movie? Can’t wait to contribute in whatever ways towards this movie!

  44. Yoke Fui on Jan 24, 2012 at 9:48 am

    Dear Rinpoche,
    We may not have the fund or contact now to make the movie, but if we all start talking, asking around, let as many people as possible know this aspiration , I’m sure this movie WILL be produced by hook or by crook !

    Faithfully,
    YF

  45. wahying on Jan 24, 2012 at 7:53 am

    比仁波切的生平更坎坷的人大有人在,重点不在于有多坎坷,在于你怎样走过,怎样放下。对仍在挣扎的人,还有走过了但心里还有一些没有释怀的无法坦然的;仁波切的生平启发的就是怎样把它们化成生命养分。在精武体育馆的2012年十万佛灯大法会上,除了克切拉成员,不少陌生脸孔,有中年男人、妇女和小学生伫立在拉章摊位的大电视机荧幕前观看《承诺》预告短片。他们应该是第一次接触克切拉和仁波切,从他们伫立的时间和安静的表情,仁波切的生平故事是感动他们的。我们可能要做的是市场调查,看看什么叙述或呈现手法能引起最大的共鸣、我们要感动的又是谁、怎样才可以把信息传达给更多的目标群众。

  46. Don on Jan 24, 2012 at 4:05 am

    Rinpoche:

    A film based on your life would definitely be worthwhile. So often we see or hear the stories of those who were involved with the Dharma at a young age, and it is only rarely that we see or hear a story like yours.

    The “Precious Jewel Garland” states that one should not give up the Dharma because of desire, aversion, or fear. Your story can serve as an example of this kind of precious faith in the Three Jewels. As I mentioned on Facebook, your story, example, and teachings awakened within me the long suppressed desire to practice – I am positive that your example will aid countless others!

  47. Lim Tat Ming on Jan 24, 2012 at 1:57 am

    Dear Rinpoche,

    A picture paints a thousand words. A good movie attracts a lot of attention to a cause. The World today needs inspiring stories that will lift people’s mind. Rinpoche’s extraordinary life will make a great story that will truly inspire and help many others to find the perfect peace and happiness. Every person who knows or has known Rinpoche will agree with this.

    This movie will reach out to the World and touch many hearts because Rinpoche’s biography – The Promise – has already touched so many of us here. The movie will fulfil Rinpoche’s wish to benefit others and promise to Rinpoche’s guru.

    The World eagerly awaits the premiere of this exciting and inspiring movie…

  48. sarahyap on Jan 24, 2012 at 1:42 am

    Actually, I can’t wait for Rinpoche’s complete biography book to come out… haha

    And I also think that making a movie is fantastic! A movie will certainly reach more people especially when it enters the big screens. But i was wondering if the movie will be the National Geography type or more on biography movie such as Gandhi and Amadeus.

    I’m so sure that this movie will bring benefit to many people, not only because Rinpoche’s life shows us how Rinpoche conquer the various circumstances in life that others would have given up… but also because Rinpoche’s Guru adviced to do the biography.

  49. William on Jan 24, 2012 at 12:14 am

    Dear Rinpoche,
    The movie about Rinpoche is a great idea because Rinpoche’s life is an inspiration to people who knows you and it will influence more and more people who will come into contact with the movie. A lot of people will get to know and learn about Rinpoche better and understand why Rinpoche is doing this movie.

    The whole reason is because Rinpoche’s vision of having a retreat centre/Buddhist institution, Kechara World Peace Centre (KWPC), that will benefit so many people not just in Malaysia but the whole world.

    All the things Rinpoche does is to benefit people so that their life would be better and Dharma grow in the hearts.

    And I love the last part where Sharon narrated. It makes me want to watch the movie already!

  50. VC on Jan 24, 2012 at 12:01 am

    I will give my moral support to Tsem Tulku Rinpoche for his contribution towards Buddhism and spreading loving kindness to the whole world.I hope this movie will inspire everyone how a dedicated monk such as rinpoche willing to sacrifice his life to benefits humankind in this degenerate times.

  51. James Long on Jan 23, 2012 at 11:22 pm

    每一个人都爱看电影。这个新年和家人一起看电影至少有4部吧。可是总觉得缺少了什么。

    通常会让我们感动的电影很多,启发的却很少。看完后通常会有种“然后怎么样”的感觉。仁波切愿意将自己的故事制作成电影,是令人兴奋的事。我可以肯定的是,看完后会让我们有一番的省思。到底我们如何过自己的生活?只是为了自己?还是为了丢失的戒指烦恼?

    仁波切的一生能启发,并设立一个榜样,让大家知道我们所在的处境并不差,只要我们肯努力必定能够让自己成为别人的光。

    我们从未拍过电影,每电影制作人,希望我们能够尽快地开拍,让更多人受益。

  52. Howie Loh on Jan 23, 2012 at 11:15 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,

    Happy Chinese New Year! I pray for your health, long life and to the growth of Dharma. When I was told about the movie plan, I was excited. Although I’m not in the movie industry but at least I should be able to contribute a little. Hope everything goes well. Hope Dharma continue helping people.

  53. Sock Wan on Jan 23, 2012 at 10:35 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,
    There are many things you did not want to do personally but for Dharma, for all sentient beings, for your Guru devotion, you did it anyway. Because of your selflessness, we are able to learn Dharma and benefit from it.

    I became interested in Tibetan Buddhism after watching the movie ‘7 years in Tibet’. With your life depicted in movie, I am sure a lot more people will be inspired, be benefitted. I will contribute whatever I can to make this happen.

    With much love,
    Sock Wan

  54. Suet Moi on Jan 23, 2012 at 9:38 pm

    Dear Rinpoche
    I would say that your meaning of life is so much different from us. Thank you so much for sharing. Your real life story is important to lead us to pause or slow down the busy life to think about it the meaning of life.
    About the above video is clear and easy to understand. By the way can the video to have some background music?

  55. Matthew on Jan 23, 2012 at 9:38 pm

    Dear Bhante, I know of your love for our four-legged friends, and so thought to bring this to your attention, should you have not seen it already – http://sujato.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/support-animalcare-in-malaysia/

  56. Su An on Jan 23, 2012 at 7:11 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche and Kechara for this video, it has a lot of important information and also valuable teachings condensed into 36 minutes.

    I think the movie idea is brilliant. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. What about a movie which is made up of countless moving pictures? Imagine the number of people who will be touched by watching it in the cinemas, (maybe even pirating it), youtubing it etc. How many people would be connected where the movie is filmed in the many different countries Rinpoche had been.

    The movie is definitely not an ego trip, how many people would delight in laying bare everything about themselves for everyone to know, moreover a Buddhist monk? It is about the celebration of triumphing over hardships and pain, and to come out stronger without bitterness, to help others find happiness, sincerely.

    I agree with Paris… making a movie out of The Promise (or the extended version) will reach out to the audio-visual generation. And probably after watching the movie, more people will want to read the book (like how it was for Lord of the Rings) or vice versa (like the Harry Potter movie series). And then after that we can have documentary series/films (like those documentaries on Titanic and King Arthur).

    How we can get this project going: start talk about it more now, tell others about it, show them this video, make connections, make more friends, reconnect with old friends…? Send the script to movie producers or actors (like Keanu Reeves or Richard Gere for example)? Maybe have some sort of an on-line bidding platform for freelance movie producers to bid for it?

  57. Phillis on Jan 23, 2012 at 4:02 pm

    It is GREAT, great great!! to have this movie!!! ^^, ^^, ^^, ^^,

  58. Echo on Jan 23, 2012 at 10:32 am

    Dear Rinpoche
    I chanced upon your website n teachings when I am going through v difficult times which brings me into tibetan Buddhism n yet something unexpected happened n I started to have doubts and almost gave up totally…..

    Your teachings gave me the faith to carry on and also the motivation and confidence that I can transform my mind n life through practising the dharma.

    I have been sharing your short videos w all around me n really look forward to your movie:)

  59. Lisa Leong on Jan 23, 2012 at 5:37 am

    Dear guru
    I see the impact that rinpoche created even by giving gifts to members or guests. They are touched and inspired. Hence, by making a movie guru definitely benefit more life by creating impact and inspiration.

  60. Paris on Jan 23, 2012 at 4:31 am

    I do think a movie would be incredible… and very necessary for reaching out to a new generation that will probably not read a book. The amount of work that goes into a movie is exponentially larger, of course, but then so is the corresponding outreach to even larger numbers of people. With the advent of technology, it is something that people will not just watch in the cinemas, but also on their computers, ipads, even phones while they’re jogging in the gym.

    The possibilities are far more open with a movie, the outreach more direct and message more clearly and directly told. There is a lot more we can share directly through visual media than can be done through the traditional forms of reading which, much as I love and hold precious, is not what this generation’s quick-thinking, restless minds would be able to sit through or “move” with.

    The movie would share with the world not just the lifelong works of Rinpoche, which people can see in all its most beautiful high definition, technicolor detail, but more importantly, the story of the human spirit – how a man could have been broken by what he went through but chose not to be. In a world ever more besieged by depression and fear, stories like Rinpoche has a place in every global citizen’s heart for it is a universal one that plays a part in every one of our own dreams for success.

    So year, today, people connect more with movies than they do with the written word (much as I hate to admit that, being a writer!) and a even richer visual representation of The Promise – a moving, talking, interactive one – would go a long way in bringing the struggles, hopes and expansive visions of Rinpoche to every single person out there who’s also looking for profound change and who wants to be a part of a legacy as large and lasting as Kechara and KWPC.

  61. Steve Tobias on Jan 23, 2012 at 4:25 am

    I’m glad that Rinpoche has decided to do this project. I love the video with Sharon’s narration. It seems like they have shot lots of footage already, with actors. The style seems very effective and suitable. It would make a great “biopic” on a larger scale too: showing Rinpoche’s activities today like planning KWPC, working to get Kechara Animal Sanctuary going, etc., then revealing the tremendous difficulties in his past piece by piece. It can show people what they can become. KIM has many professionals with decades of experience, but I do offer any help I could provide.

  62. elizabeth hurwitz on Jan 23, 2012 at 4:14 am

    Hi Tsem Tulku Rinpoche — Thank you for sharing your video with all of us. If I can be of help, please don’t hesitate to ask. I have a small small bit of experience in documentary film production. In 2008, I produced a documentary here in the States with David Leterman and Lawerence Bender, and other folks. My first question is who is the audience for your film? How do you want people to hear your story? As a compelling narrative? As a dharma teaching? As an adventure story? How folks experience a story also depends in part on their cultural orientation and experience. I hope these comments are useful to you and your team. It’s wonderful that you are undertaking this project. With all good wishes and fondness, Elizabeth Hurwitz

    • tsemtulku on Jan 23, 2012 at 8:49 pm

      Dear Elizabeth, you always come across as straightforward, organized and sincere. Thank you for being you. Please send me your email. I will post you on my personal list. Thanks so much.

      I do want to do this movie very much and I need lots of help. Any help is welcomed. TR

  63. lewkwanleng on Jan 23, 2012 at 3:05 am

    Whatever Rinpoche is doing, he has no personal agenda, and it is always about benefiting other sentient beings. The same with the movie. Many people may “talk” about why this Lama wants to make himself famous, but we as students, it is our job to educate others about the motivation behind this movie.

    I sincerely pray that the movie is a success, in a way that it will reach many many people and inspire a lot more, and with that, more people will know about Kechara World Peace Center and that it will manifest much quicker!!

  64. abby on Jan 23, 2012 at 2:05 am

    這部電影是值得投資的一部電影。
    它將能夠告訴大家,無論你過去經歷過多痛苦、多悲痛的事情,你仍然可以做個好人,不怨天尤人,不自暴自棄!尤其在這個年代,大家都似乎經歷了不少不愉快的事。

    詹杜固仁波切的過去跟你和我都一樣。請不要因為他現在是一名僧人而覺得他跟我們有什麼不一樣。他有他的童年,他曾在洛杉磯度過自己的青春期。他也有自己的掙扎和追求。花一點時間聽一聽他的故事,說不定你也有所啟發!(對我而言,詹杜固仁波切的故事確實啟發了我,教懂我不將自己痛苦的過去帶到如今這一刻,累人累己。)

  65. freon on Jan 22, 2012 at 11:29 pm

    Dear Guru,
    I am thinking, what is the way to get sponsors for this movie and quality producer. Where to market this movies, how to get this movie to nominate. I would like to involve in this movie making either in front or back stage.

  66. Slk on Jan 22, 2012 at 11:17 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,
    Do allow me to help on fulfilling your dreams on making a movie which I believe it will help many. Am personally touched with your promised, having faith in dharma and you. Do hope you give me a chance acting in the background, like sweeping floor, stranger walking in the back ( just kidding ).
    Yes, your stories could really make a difference. Especially those who experienced the pain, this is a form of healing and motivation for them… Thank you rinpoche.

  67. Karma on Jan 22, 2012 at 10:38 pm

    I would say why wait! Both the ideas-book and making movie are terrific more so because it would be based on a true life story as you had mentioned a journey mixed with joys and sorrows. I think rather believe that it would reach out to mass number of people as an inspiration. I feel and agree to what Oprah Winfrey a famous talk show host mentioned in her recent interview in India about her aim of the show was about drawing the connection with the audience, illuminating that ray of hope from the story for the larger people to connect and i feel your life has one. And i wish you luck and success.

  68. Mc on Jan 22, 2012 at 10:06 pm

    It is so important for Rinpoche to produce not only a movie but several movies about Rinpoche’s life. Several, because Rinpoche’s stories this life itself contains so much material that can really help people. It cannot be captured in a mere 2 hours of film.

    From Rinpoche’s childhood, Rinpoche has known rejection, struggles and hardships and have encountered many heart-breaking events. Things that tend to get us down and break the human spirit, and yet these things did not stop Rinpoche from doing what needs to be done. Many people will be able to relate to Rinpoche’s struggles, and see for themselves how we need be imprisoned by all the things that scare us and hurt us.

    Rinpoche is therefore a living example of the triumph of Hope. And this is very important because although human beings all seem ok, and seem to live meaningful lives, the truth is the world and man within, are decaying and we feel it. Look around the world and look within ourselves and we will know what I mean. Just about everything we do is done so that we do not have to be confronted with the reality of our own deep sorrow and aimlessness.

    I for one, had a life which I found to be a complete burden rather than an opportunity but today I have hope and a vocation worth giving all to. And I know I am not the only one. I see people in Kechara touched and completely changed. And I know that the same source that has helped me can help a lot more around the world.

    People speak often of the Degenerate Times but really what has degenerated is not the external world but our own sense of purpose, our sense of humanity and the sense of happiness. And we don’t know how to turn it around, but Rinpoche, you possess the knowledge of how to which has to be spread.

    And here, the antidote to man’s ills is not procured after Rinpoche did a Master’s degree in psychology but lessons that has been carefully preserved and passed down undiluted for thousands of years. A movie about Rinpoche would also pay due credit to a whole list of lineage Masters including Rinpoche’s Teachers’ Teachers.

    A movie may also bring the necessary help from around the world for KWPC to manifest quickly. KWPC is not just a holiday destination like a Spa, but a centre where man can learn to heal himself so that he can heal others as well. I believe that to the main purpose of KWPC.

    We see so many movies and they inspire us for a while only because we know the movie is not real, or we cannot relate to it or after we are inspired there is nothing we can do to nurture and build on that inspiration.

    Here a movie will touch many and will awaken them to the fact that healing is available and in fact, healing is already in place.

    Please do the movie Rinpoche.

  69. Alex Hay on Jan 22, 2012 at 8:36 pm

    i would love to be a part of this wonderful movie. dear Rinpoche, pls do go ahead and make this movie. I believe KIM able to produce the movie.

    The great master of sutra and tantra, His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche, a Gelug Lama was a strong practitioner of Dorje Shugden. He was also a disciple of the third Trijang Rinpoche, junior tutor of the 14th Dalai Lama. Famous as a sharp analyst and master of philosophical debate, as well as a Tantric practitioner. At a young age , he went to Lhasa studied effortlessly and became renowned as a powerful debater. Living a simple lifestyle with shabby robes, he was well known throughout the three great Gelug monasteries of central Tibet. As a master of philosophical debate who possessed an extraordinary memory and he became renowned for healing activities. He had inspired had many Western disciples throughout the West ,in Tibet and India and gave many empowerments and teachings. H.H Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was an incredible Gelugpa master who returned to our world lifetime after lifetime to lead sentient beings out of samsara. Merely listening to his voice from the video is a blessing.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing

    Reading this post again regarding this huge Buddha statue in Thimpu, Bhutan. Construction began in 2006, as in the post, it was completed only in 2015. The completed work is one of the largest Buddha Statue in the world located in the southern mountains of Bhutan. At 177 feet (54 m) this gigantic Shakyamuni Buddha statue houses over one hundred thousand smaller Buddha statues which are made of bronze and gilded in gold. It has become a must-visit tourist destination in Thimphu Valley, Bhutan. Having a Huge Buddha Statue has benefited thousands of people just looking at it . Merely by looking is a blessing. Would love to visit this stunning Buddha statue to see for myself .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Yading, Daocheng County is a county of western Sichuan Province, China. A visit to Daocheng Yading is worth visit. As it has the very beautiful lakes Milk Lake, Pearl Lake and Wuse Lake as well as the three holy mountains named Chenrezig, Jampayang and Chenadorje. Having a population of about 33 thousands where many of them are many Dorje Shugden lamas, geshes and Dorje Shugden practitioners in Yading. H.E. Gyara Rinpoche a reincarnation of a great master in the Drikung Kagyu lineage has been visiting different villages in Yading, giving and sharing Dharma teachings to thousands people there. Gyara Rinpoche an incumbent of Shar Gaden Monastery, India and had studied under H.E. Kyabje Dagom Rinpoche and many other erudite lamas. An erudite scholar, Gyara Rinpoche received many teachings, instructions, initiations, commentaries and empowerments of both Sutra and Tantra .As in the post Gyara Rinpoche gave Dorje Shugden’s life entrustment initiation to thousands monks and lay people in Yangting Dechen Ling Monastery. Other than the Dorje Shugden sogtae, Gyara Rinpoche also gave Lamrim teachings and Guhyasamaja initiation in Yangding Monastery. Looking at the people in those pictures tells all. Apart of that Gyara Rinpoche also gave a logical explanation of the Dorje Shugden controversy and the unlawful ban imposed by the CTA, to create awareness of the truth behind the Dorje Shugden controversy.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing of a great Lama.

    It was H E Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche that first recognised our Guru Kyabje Tsem Rinpoche as a tulku back in 1987. Lama Gangchen Tulku Rinpoche was an important Tibetan Italian lama of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. He was the last generation of lamas from the ‘old Tibet’. At a young age he was recognised as the reincarnation of the lama healer Kachen Sapen. He was a direct disciple of the greatest lamas of the Gelugpa school of the twentieth century, such as Kyabje Trijang Dorje Chang, Kyabje Zong Rinpoche, who taught him Tibetan medicine, healing methods and astrology. He worked tirelessly as a spiritual teacher and healer. He travelled tremendously throughout India, Nepal, Sikkim, Europe and finally settled in Italy. Lama Gangchen has travelled extensively ,providing healing and gave teachings worldwide. He has also led many pilgrimages to some of the most important holy places of different religious and spiritual denominations in the world. He founded numerous centres all over the world. Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche has worked tirelessly for many decades to promote world peace and had received many awards and recognitions for his work. Lama Gangchen will remain in the hearts of all those who met him as a teacher of great love and profound wisdom.
    Years back our Guru Kyabje Tsem Rinpoche did sent students to Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche ’s centre in Albagnano, Italy with many offerings and updating projects of Kechara as well.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing

    nteresting read of how a common nomad boy became an Oracle Lama. Reading the biography of a selfless Dorje Shugden Oracle Lama again had me understand more. Venerable Choyang Kuten Lama became a renowned oracle, who had contributed greatly in Tibet’s history. Choyang Kuten Lama was a respected oracle for a manifestation of enlightened Dharma Protectors Dorje Shugden, and was told he would be very beneficial to beings in the future. During the Chinese invasion he remained in Tibet although the situation was tense, helping countless people escape safely to India. As the situation worsened in Tibet in 1959 Kuten Lama escaped life not only as an oracle, but also contributing in various ways. Giving the Tibetan community lengthy advice and even Dharma teachings. He also served his countrymen in difficult times in Tibet and in refugee camps in India regardless of the tradition or school of Tibetan Buddhism. He raised funds for monks’ quarters in many monasteries including Gaden, Drepung as well as other Nyingma and Sakya monasteries.

    Awesome life’s story and legacy of Ondor Gegeen Zanabazar the first Jebtsundamba Khutuktu of the Gelugpa lineage of Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia and his profound impact on Mongolian Buddhism. Zanabazar a man of all trades was a prodigious sculptor, painter, architect, poet, costume designer, scholar and linguist .He was a descendant of Chingis Khan, born into a prominent Oirot Mongol family. Considered to be a living reincarnation of one of the important earlier Buddhist leaders in Mongolia. Zanabazar showed signs of advanced intelligence, linguistic abilities, and religious devotion from an early age. He is much revered for his contributions to Buddhist learning and for his reforms of Mongolian Buddhism. He was best known for his intricate and elegant Buddhist sculptures. Viewed as one of Mongolia’s most prominent historical figures, celebrated for propagating Tibetan Buddhism throughout Mongolia to this day.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing of the first high saint of Mongolia.

    Due to the Dorje Shugden controversy many practitioners are still oppressed due to their choice of religion. Yet there are complaisant, and obliging people too who barely understand the situation, poorly informed of the issue and behave in a way they knew what’s going on regarding the ban on Dorje Shugden. There are many good bits of wisdom and worthy words in this article. Well-intentioned people make mistakes, lots of them. Mistakes must be expected and being held accountable for. Oppression will still exist no matter how compassionate sharing with others. If we are willing to risk making mistakes we can still do something. We must constantly try to find out ways to use our privilege to push forward the voice of the oppressed. Do not allow ourselves to be immobilized by lack of knowledge.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Sarah for this sharing.

    Inspiring read of Scott Neeson a most influential person in the movie industry,walked away from Hollywood to start a charity. Left everything he had built,been famous, wealthy and living a life of luxury for the sake of those children living in the slump in Cambodia. He decided to leave Hollywood behind and moved to Cambodia and founded Cambodian Children’s Fund . It was on a trip to Phnom Penh, Scott saw hundreds of children and their families living and working on the Steung Meanchey garbage dump, one of the most toxic environments. It was a moment that changed his life, helping thousands of vulnerable children and their families escape a world of forced labour, child trafficking and desperate poverty into safety and independence. From being a self-serving person, to an extremely giving person truly inspiring. Scott has been living in Phnom Penh where his journey still captivates, inspires and bewilders people from all over the world.

    Vairochana Shugden, pacifying form of Dorje Shugden is revered by many for his ability to purify one’s negative karma, pacify natural disasters and calamities. And is especially efficacious for overcoming illness and disease as well. Shize or Vairochana Shugden is the emanation of Dorje Shugden who embodies the enlightened activity of pacification. Shize’s practice is very effective in helping us to receive prophecies or develop clairvoyance. Shize’s practice is excellent for calming ourselves down and increasing our merits. His practice results in our minds becoming much happier and being alleviated from depressions. Wow we can also rely on Shize’s practice to overcome serious illnesses. It can also be engaged where the area, there are a lot of natural disasters. On the whole its practice has many benefits. When we do the practice correctly, with good motivation, Shize will bless and guide us.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great teachings on Shize who is a direct emanation of Dorje Shugden who is none other than the enlightened Manjushri.

    Interesting article. I never thought meditation can help oneself quit smoking without consumption of medication or drugs. According to an article in The Buddhist Review, not smoking is a result of developing calm and reducing clinging through authentic Dharma practice. Mindfulness-based interventions can help people learn to pay attention to and work with negative feelings, cravings, and other symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. By focusing on our breathing the mind becomes calm and single-pointed. Many are aware of the health risks and addictive properties of nicotine that are harmful. Buddhism is very effective to inspire transformation in people. Good read of how a Yale psychiatrist bringing together neuroscience and Buddhist practices to help people overcome their addictions. Thank you Dr. Judson for the great research work.

    Trode-khangsar a 400 year old Dorje Shugden Temple in Lhasa, had me having great memories. Having a privileged to visit it in May 2019,with my Dharma brothers and sisters. It such a Holy Temple with great stories behind it . Located in Lhasa, that is over 300 years old which is dedicated to the controversial protector deity Dorje Shugden. The Temple is a Gelugpa monastery of Tibetan Buddhism, built in the 17th century by the Fifth Dalai Lama. The Great 5th Dalai Lama composed a praise to Dorje Shugden and created a statue to honour and recognize him as a Dharma protector as apology. Trode Khangsar itself is now registered as a national heritage memorial. That’s awesome as more and more people will get to know about this Holy temple. Merely by looking at those fading murals and Holy statutes is a blessing for all who came to visit this Trode-khangsar. A place worth visiting.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    The concept of rebirth has a long association with Buddhism. Rebirth in Buddhism refers to the teaching that the actions of a sentient being lead to a new existence after death, in an endless cycle called saṃsāra. One will begins a new life in a new body that may be human, animal or spiritual depending on the moral quality of the previous life’s actions. What they are reborn as depends on their actions in their previous life rather kamma. As a Buddhist we should believe in rebirth but still many people don’t . Buddha taught us that choices of rebirth make a difference and can shape many lifetimes. Buddhists believe that nothing that exists is permanent and everything will ultimately cease to be. There is a belief in rebirth

    Against the odds two inspiring nuns fought all the way to become ordained, fighting for their rights to practice Buddhism . Interesting read of how they went through , bringing equality for women in Thailand. Buddhism is the predominant religion in Thailand. Officially, only men can become monks and novices in Thailand under a Buddhist order. The country does not recognize female monks or novices. In recent years, more Thai Buddhist women seeking to become full-fledged female monks, have been defying the tradition getting ordained overseas, in Sri Lanka or India. Buddhist women have been fighting for years for equality and social acceptance in Thailand. They just can’t be ordained by Thai monks. Ven. Dhammananda, 68 year old former university lecturer and activist became Thailand’s first Theravadin bhikkhuni after going the odds. Inspiring read biography on Ven. Dhammananda and Ven. Dr. Lee. They had gone through great hardships, discrimination and against the many odds in bringing equality to women in Buddhism in Thailand.

    The unseen things are spiritual realities that are eternal and invisible to our physical eye. There are many forces and phenomena that are not visible to the naked eye. There are many things that humans cannot see yet there are some could see. For what is can be seen is only. Things do exist even we can’t see, believing their existence is our choice. Things that we can’t see in the world opens up a curiosity and exploration by some. Whether through scientific inquiry, or spiritual exploration, the pursuit of knowledge about the unseen can lead to profound insights about ourselves and the universe.
    Malacca City is the historic capital of the coastal state of Malacca, in Malaysia serving as a link between east and west for over 500 years. Famous for breath-taking sights with rich heritage, ancient dark culture and history with many old centuries buildings with an interesting past and a colourful ghost story. For that reason alone it is worth visiting as is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site owing to its well-preserved historical center. There’s many historical mansions been passed down generation to generations and with many ghostly sighting by the locals and visitors. There’s the reason many unseen beings loitering and attached to these places. Such an interesting and incredibly creepy watching the video in this blog host by Li Kim. Li Kim had done a great work all along with her team to share with readers about our historic Malacca .
    Thank you Rinpoche and Li Kim 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

    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
