The Chair
I have one chair I usually sit on to do my sadhana, watch a program, read, write, research and so on. But many times I return from my bathroom, Oser girl has taken over my chair. She gives me this look like, it’s her chair! She’s a spunky little schnauzer. The room has so much space, other sofas and places of interest, but my Oser has to hijack my chair always. I have to gently move her over and squeeze in next to her like I did last night into the same chair. We sat together for hours and she fell asleep in my chair huddled against me. Love is sharing a chair even though it’s meant for one occupant at a time. ? Tsem Rinpoche
It is incredible how smart Oser girl is. She can steal the treat away from Dharma boy and so casually. Wow. She is so smart. A must watch short video!! Tsem Rinpoche
]Mumu boy was Tsem Rinpoche’s little Schnauzer. Partly because of Mumu Kechara was started and you must find out why that is. Do read more and see very cute adorable pictures: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/?p=122472
Tsem Rinpoche’s two adorable cute Schnauzer dogs Oser girl (white) and Dharma boy up to their various antics. Short videos that will warm up your day and give you a ‘cute attack!’ Enjoy!
Dear Rinpoche, the three mumus are so adorable. Yogi is really photogenic. And I can see that Dharma baby is not really used to it, well, it is his time grooming but he actually behave quite well for his time. Sometimes when I see people grooming the dogs, the dogs don’t really stay still. I wish I have a chance to get a dog like the mumus.
These three doggies are so cute(good to call these pictures cute attack)
Dharma looks so cute during the grooming.
KB really loves Oser,Dharma,Mumu as if they were his very own babies!!!
3 really cute doggies that will represent Tsem Ladrang.
I pray that they will have a good rebirth.
They are so cute that I want to cuddle with them! Just like Ethan said is very hard not to love the three Mumus and they are also very well behaved. Dharma, Oser and Mumu look so much better after grooming. They are really the cute attack for the day hehe.
OMB! Dharma baby is such a good boy! All of them are good boys and girl, they stayed still during the grooming. Uncle KB loves the Mumus very much, I can see that through his actions. The Mumus are so very lucky to have Uncle KB as their ‘godfather’. Hehe..
Thank You for sharing the video Rinpoche.
Love, beatrix.
KB loves and cares towards mumu, Dharma and Oser reflect to his sincere and devotion to Rinpoche. KB is a gems, he does things from his sincere heart. When mumu was sick and had to stay at the animal hospital, KB was there with mumu and make sure mumu is fine.
Mumu, Dharma and oser are well trained and they are so cute, and adorable..
Mumu,Oser and Dharma never fail to make a bad day to a good day.These dog are so cute,adorable and well behaved just take a look at them so still and calm while there fur is being groomed and for KB well he did a good job narrating and keeping the dogs calm.
3 very cute handsome boys. All the animals in the ladrang are cared for beyond what any normal pet owner would do for their dogs. That is Rinpoche’s way, which is to benefit all living beings, including animals! KB is a very kind and nice boy, and has learnt everything to do with dog care. He is now the main caregiver for Rinpoche’s dogs.
kb adalah budak yang cermat dan dia amat sayang mumu, oser dan dharma,mumu sentiasa sakit dan kb adalah orang yang pertama dapat tahu mumu sakit kerana dia sentiasa menganjuk kelakuan mumu.
Wong (the name I know her as) used to be my pet’s groomer too. She very nice and really loves animals. She comes to the house and even helped me buy pet food sometimes. Very very nice lady. Although she gets bullied by her customers quite a bit. They sometimes don’t pay her and make her drive all the way to Ampang just to clean their pet’s ears. 🙁 I’m glad she’s got the good opportunity to groom Rinpoche’s dogs.
If Lama Tsongkhapa, Vajrayogini, and Setrap represent the Kechara House. Mumu, Osel, and Dharma will represent the Tsem ladrang, very playful and sweet mumus.
KB takes very good care of Mumu, Oser and Dharma. When i first met KB in KP SS2, he spoke very little English, he pushed himself and now no only he speaks good English but he can take care of animals from food to medical very well even better than people who has pets. KB treat these 3 doggie as his real babies.
Please come and join in the chat for a fun time and support. See you all there.

KECHARA FOREST RETREAT PROGRESS UPDATES
Here is the latest news and pictorial updates, as it happens, of our upcoming forest retreat project.
The Kechara Forest Retreat is a unique holistic retreat centre focused on the total wellness of body, mind and spirit. This is a place where families and individuals will find peace, nourishment and inspiration in a natural forest environment. At Kechara Forest Retreat, we are committed to give back to society through instilling the next generation with universal positive values such as kindness and compassion.
Touching indeed reading this blog again tells us more than that. Not an easy task after-all Taylong Ly and Sayeng had raised using her heart, time, patience, foresight, intuition to protect Caryl. She had made sure Carly never went hungry and never felt afraid and lonely. Taylong Ly and Sayeng were kind, loving, and caring so much so that Caryl had them deep in his heart. Looking at those beautiful photos say all.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing Caryl’s story with us.
Pope Leo X was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States. Was the son of Lorenzo de’ Medici, best known for his wasteful habits, lecherous activities, and hedonistic quote. He was crowned Pope at the age of 37, honored as a doctor of the Church and his writings. Pope Leo X was a very powerful Pope during a time when the Catholic Church was at its height in power. During his reign, he advanced the city to highly prominent status in Europe through his advocacy for the arts and education. He was the first of four Medici popes. Upon his ascension, Leo X behaved as most Medici leaders before him by working arduously towards the advancement of his family and becoming a generous benefactor of the arts. Interesting biography of a Pope known for his lavish spending, misused funds and abused his power . Tibetan leadership based in Dharamsala, North India has similarity to the Pope’s reign. The Tibetan leadership has cause many sufferings, disharmony within their own people. All can be seen in the Dorje Shugden and Karmapa controversies as well. Many Tibetans are speaking up and it has since changed for a better welfare.
Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this sharing.
As we grow older and time passes we realize the spirituality within ourselves . When we can calm down our mind, delve inside us, and become aware of the pure consciousness and surrounding, we look beyond and have connection with the higher being within us. We have to grow from the inside out which involves recognising and accepting our higher potential. Amongst all the Dharma Protectors, Dorje Shugden has the strongest and closest affinity with us. Dorje Shugden an enlightened Dharma Protector helps us to develop our skills, wisdom and great compassion, and clearing all our obstacles . Dorje Shugden will help evryone regardless of race and faith. Its very beneficial to rely on the practice in various aspects of life. We are very fortunate to learn and practice this efficacious Dorje Shugden’s practice. All thanks to our teacher’s kindness and brightening up our day and make us feel ready to take on anything.
Thank you Rinpoche and Stella for this sharing.
Great to know that our very own Tsem Paranormal host Li Kim been interviewed by bfm898 radio station years ago. Li Kim a talented lady had put Tsem Paranormal zone for many and many more people to know of Tsem Rinpoche. She had done a great job indeed. Rejoice.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing .
In the last six decades the Tibatan leadership having their own agenda had not been taking interest of their own people. Many people had suffered and long overdue for their religious freedom. Having much evidence that they were making use of religion controlling their people . People were discriminated, left aside ,denied services to schools, hospitals and so forth just because they pray to an unapproved deity Dorje Shugden. They are labelled as anti-Tibetan and even as Chinese spies.
The latest Modern Diplomacy publication covering the history and current issues of Tibet authored by Dr Andrea Galli tells the truthful insight into an exiled Tibetan leadership. The key functions of diplomacy incorporate a varied number of points, and has established a track record of providing accurate information in a world. Through extensive investigation and analysis Modern Diplomacy published the article for readers to understand of the situation happening within the Tibetan. Hopefully more people will get to read this article to understand better.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing Dr Galli’s article with us.
In the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual tradition, whatever pujas or fire pujas are a proven remedy for most of life’s troubles. Fire pujas are very effective for protection, removing negatives energies, to increase merits, lifespan, health, wisdom and spiritual wealth. And in such cases it could turn negative circumstances around. They can be used as relics, to be inserted into statues and stupas, and even worn in a locket. It also could be scattered in the garden, backyard or using it to bless the land. Amongst all pujas, fire pujas are among the most powerful within Tibetan Buddhism. They are extremely potent for removing obstacles for the practitioner to gain accomplishments on the path to enlightenment. For the deceased, the fire pujas is an excellent method of purifying negative karma and attaining higher rebirth. Wow…very detailed post for readers to understand about this fire puja. We are so fortunate to have this fire pujas at kechara Bentong done by monks. The fire pujas are performed with special ingredients and special mandalas were set up. In different traditions, the all the ingredients varies.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing .
Interesting reading this blog. Yes…its always a case old antique at times comes with something else. Even when given or buying antique statues one got to be very careful. To buy one from genuine buyer on the safe side . An antique Buddha statue from Cambodia given by a relative . Hecelus Tan first sight was uncomfortable with it as later came with nightmare . That’s bad paranormal experience for him. The head of that statue coincidentally broke when Hecelus’s parents decided to bring it back to the antique shop.
Wow… interesting .
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
Amitayus, is the primary Buddha of Pure Land Buddhism. In Vajrayana Buddhism, it is known for his longevity, discernment, pure perception, purification of aggregates, and deep awareness of emptiness . The greatest obstacles to the fulfilment of our wish to experience pure happiness are death and ignorance. It is written in the Buddhist sutras that by chanting the Amitayus Mantra, one increases one’s lifespan, acquires good fortune and wisdom, avoids untimely or accidental death, removes all negative karma, and accomplishes non-death or is reborn the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. With correct visualisation and recitation of the mantras its very beneficial for us.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing
Astro Wah Lai Toi is a Cantonese Video on demand owned and operated by Astro in partnership with Hong Kong’s TVB.
Even though it’s old post yet its good to watch the video posted. Pastor Chia had an interviewed on a paranormal program on Astro Wah Lai Toi called Supernatural Investigations. Sound interesting. Well I do believe in the existence of spirits some may not believe. Pastor Chia explained the reasons why we may encounter spirits. Some people are more likely than others to report vivid experiences of spirits. Sensing the presence of spirits across cultures and faiths is central to many of the religions that have shaped human history. Many people of faith reported having encounter it but are poorly understood.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
Markam County locates in the boundary of Tibet, Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces and east of Qamdo Prefecture of Tibet. Markam County makes it illegal to ban Dorje Shugden , protecting the practice and preserving it for future generations. It’s a wonderful news for many. Since the unethical ban against Dorje Shugden, by the Tibetan leadership in exile , many people had suffered. China allows religious freedom in Tibet, protects the Dorje Shugden practice and even gives religious freedom to all faiths. They want peace and harmony within their people, in the country. The Tibetan government in exile should not interfere with religion at all. Its more than 60 years now, is time for the Tibetan government to lift the ban on Dorje Shugden’s practice even though HH Dalai Lama said we can practice Dorje Shugden.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this great news, hoping more and more county allow religious freedom.
Looking at those old pictures of the launching of Li Kim’s paranormal series tells all. Interesting indeed someone like Li Kim and team gave us viewers a scary moment watching and getting to know more of the unknown. Great job Li Kim and her team did were amazing seeking and go beyond answering some of the mysteries of the spiritual and material world.
Congratulations to Li Kim and ALL in the Paranormal team.
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. The choice each of every one of us choose includes freedom to change our religion, belief and freedom. There shouldn’t be a law to impose their beliefs on others. Every one of us has the right to profess and to practice his or her religion without undue interference. Religious freedom is very important as this gives us the right to be ourselves, and this helps to work together after maintaining peace the country. It allows different faiths and beliefs to flourish. After worshipping Dorje Shugden for decades, HH the 14th Dalai Lama suddenly imposed a prohibition more than 400 year old practice. He once did rely on this practice so During the height of the banning of Dorje Shugden’s practice , many practitioners who practice Dorje Shugden were ignored, discriminated and rejected within their own exiled community. Many were forced to give up on the practice on Dorje Shugden even though there are so many concrete evidence of an imposed ban. They were forced to wear an identity badge to distinguish their identities from those Dorje Shugden propitiating monks. Many Dorje Shugden practitioners had suffered because of the ban, families , friends were torn apart services denied and so forth. To live in harmony with others, we should overcoming the differences and disagreements in religion and faith of others. May this Dorje Shugde controversy be over soon .
Thank you Rinpoche, Anila and Pastor David for this sharing.
Thank you Pastor David for your interesting spiritual relationship with Tsem Rinpoche, sharing with us bit by bit stories and observations. Reading gave me a better understandings. Knowledge and appreciation of our spiritual lineage is important as it shapes our identity and empowers our ability, ensuring the continuity of the true dharma. Lineage is basically concerned with authenticity and preserving the spiritual potency of the lineage’s teachings.
Dorje Shugden the Dharma Protector is a fully enlightened Buddha in the form of a protector deity. Relying on Dorje Shugden can help us achieve many benefits including the clearing of obstacles, purification of negative karma, gathering of resources and fulfilment of wishes. The Dharma Protector arose to protect Lama Tsongkhapa’s sacred lineage of teachings and who had manifested about 400 years ago from a lineage of erudite masters. A powerful Protector who is also an emanation of Manjushri, a wisdom bestowing Buddha. Its wonderful with these graphic novel to inspire more and more people getting to know and understand Dorje Shugden better.
The graphic novel of Dorje Shugden, tells us real accounts of 10 people who had received the blessings and protection of Dorje Shugden. All thanks to our Guru Tsem Rinpoche for bringing this practice to Malaysia for us.
Thank you writers team for sharing this article .
Generosity is a core practice of Buddhism, and one of the traditional expressions of this is through offerings to the Sangha. Making offerings is a practice for accumulating positive potential and for purifying clinging and miserliness. We must give generously and sacrificially, with the right motivation of bodhicitta, we create unbelievable merit. Sangha are living in a high number of vows and are unbelievably powerful objects. Reading this blog and looking at those beautiful pictures had me understand better what to offer to those Sanghas. Having the opportunity to make some offerings to the Sanghas will be on my list when visiting them in June.
Thank you Rinpoche, for sharing this post.

Dear everyone... This is a good condensed talk I gave on Guru Yoga of Tsongkapa. This is the one you should share with others when they are interested in a not too lengthy explanation. It is the perfect practice for everyone who wants simplicity yet effective blessings. You can share this with more people, it will be good.
"If you say you don't have money to help a animal shelter, why then do you have money to buy meat?"
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Eating animals is not our God-given right, but being kind to them is."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"What makes us good humans is not how we abuse animals, but how much we allow them to live and be happy freely."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"We need another and wiser and perhaps a more mythical concept of animals.... We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complex than ours they moved finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."
~ Henry Beston, The Outermost House
"Not eating animals is only unnatural when we are not used to it."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES
"We may encounter defeat, but we must not be defeated."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"What you are today, is the choice you made yesterday."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"You think you can choose your life? What an ego trip!"
~ Lama Yeshe
"If TODAY you are dissatisfied, you must make the changes to create different results for TOMORROW."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
SPIRITUAL QUOTES
“Meditating on Dorje Shugden while reciting his mantra will open the gateways to higher dimensions, blessings and protection.”
~ Tsem Rinpoche
“If one does the recitation of the Lama Tsongkhapa guru yoga prayer for even one month using one of the visualizations for great or clear or quick wisdom, one will definitely see development of that wisdom. It is proved by experience. There is no doubt that by doing the Lama Tsongkhapa guru yoga practice one can meet Lama Tsongkhapa’s teachings from life to life. And furthermore, it gives one the opportunity to be born in the pure realm of Lama Tsongkhapa, Tushita, whenever death happens.”
~ Pabongkha Rinpoche
"I was 18 years old in 1983. That was a very special year as I met His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche and received innumerable precious teachings and empowerments from Him at Thubten Dhargye Ling Centre in Los Angeles, California. It was the best time of my life. A time that seems so magical and surreal to me. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche is Heruka Buddha and I met Heruka."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"If being me offends you, maybe I'm not the problem."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Never abandon your spiritual teacher no matter how many inner obstacles you need to overcome."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Actions to force something to be permanent makes all the karmas arise."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"The dharma is not easy to listen to… because some people take it as criticism. But Dharma should not be just feel good only for the moment but for deeper contemplations."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Whether we do work and suffer but for others or we do work and suffer for ourselves, either way we have to suffer. That is the nature of samsara. So let us suffer for others and then suffering has meaning."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Those who really want the dharma to grow within themselves and to grow for others should never fear hard work, timing, difficulties, struggles, disappointments because it is for a good cause. Working for Dharma is not a prison or work, but it is purely spiritual practice. It is purely collection of merit and purification. Actually not doing dharma work is the real prison."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"His Holiness Zong Rinpoche stressed the need to continue to practice even when we come up against obstacles, and that we should continually review our progress. He stated that a happy, luxurious life was like a good dream, and that obstacles and difficulties were like a bad dream. We should give them no significance, but simply carry on working towards real, everlasting happiness."
~ Ngala ’ö-Dzin Tridral
"Things in samsara always go wrong. That's its nature. Don't be surprised."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Knowledge never quenches the thirst, only application."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
LIFE QUOTES
"I pity men who occupy themselves exclusively with the transitory in things and lose themselves in the study of what is perishable, since we are here for this very end-that we may make the perishable imperishable, which we can do only after we have learned how to approach both."
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Money amplifies negative characteristics and that can cause problems.
To walk away from that was actually very easy. I didn't even consider it."
~ Angeline Francis Khoo
"I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud."
~ Carl Jung
"There is a devil there is no doubt, but is he trying to get into us or trying to get out?"
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"If you love someone, show it by being honest, respectful & honorable with them."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."
~ Henry David Thoreau
"If I can just be the way I am & you the way you are & we accept each other, world peace is near."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"I am Asian, you are some other beautiful color. Together we make diversity so beautiful."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"It's amazing how some people have never met me or know who I am, but based on a few things they read here & there & rumours, they have formulated a new personality for me & all the things I've never done they passionately speak about....I find it funny and entertaining now. I guess we can't spend our lives fighting rumours...we just have to work hard & then rumours get proven wrong on it's own as a by product. No point explaining repeatedly. Just do our work & show results!!"
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"There's a difference between patience and laziness. Patience comes from respect while laziness from disrespect of others."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Although outwardly we have so much, we have so many conveniences, inwardly we have become more unhappy, so, acquisition is not the secret to happiness. The more we get, the more we have, the more unhappy we become."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Before we experience any pain, we already had a fixed view of how things should be. When the experience we encounter contradicts our views, then the pain arises. The pain arises due to our fixed views not so much the experience itself. So the secret is changing the views. Re-educating ourselves on our views."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"You know since very young, for better or worse, I always did the things that others told me not to do. I wasn't really good at following the rules. Even now with how I share Dharma and my practice, I just do it the way I think it should be done but I do it sincerely. Not what others tell me what I can and can't do."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Love me or hate me, both are in my favor... If you love me, I'll always be in your heart... If you hate me, I'll always be in your mind."
~ William Shakespeare
"One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous or honest."
~ Maya Angelou
Devotional Songs
Sung by Mary Fewel Tulin, these mystical songs in praise of the guru originate from the Sikh tradition. Yet, they are applicable to all traditions for those who want to venerate their guru.
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.

Charlene asked:Can i have Tsem Tulku as my Yidam?pastor answered:Dear Charlene,
Yidams are meditational deities with very specific functions. Tsem Rinpoche was a guru, so he would never be practised as a yidam. You can however practice the Guru Yoga of Tsem Rinpoche, which is available here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/great-lamas-masters/instructions-for-tsem-rinpoches-name-mantra-retreat.html you can read the commentary to the practice and engage in it daily, but you don't need to follow the retreat rules and guidelines as set out in the post.
The function of Guru Yoga is to provide huge amounts of blessings, inspiration and merits for our spiritual transformation. The article explains more about what the Guru Yoga is and how to do it in the commentary section. This can be done by anyone and there are no vows or commitments that need to be taken. It can be done every day. I hope this helps.

Anonymous asked:Hello, I want to ask about karma purification.
How does purification Buddha practices like Vajrasattva purify karma? Does it stop karmic seeds from ripening? Or does it actually force negative karma to manifest in unfortunate situations right now?pastor answered:Dear Anonymous,
Purification is a big topic and a little too complicated to explain in detail here. Basically, when you engage in the purification, you use what are know as the Four Opponent Powers. Depending on how strong you generate these within your mind and how much effort you put in to purification practice, there are three results. The lowest results is that you stop some of your karma from multiplying, the middle result is that you lessen the effects of some of your karma and the highest result is that you purify that karma completely, so you don't need to experience the result any more.
When you are engaged in heavy and extended periods of purification practices, such as when in retreat, some times what happens is that as the karma is being purified you will feel its lessened effects. For example, if you have a particular negative body karma that means you may get into an accident, and you are engaged in heavy purification practices, because the force of that karma is very strong and the Buddhas are helping you to get rid of it, maybe you get an ache in your leg because you sat on your meditation cushion too long. Or perhaps you have the karma to go through tremendous emotional suffering, so when in retreat this can manifest as a disturbed mind that cannot concentrate. This is due to the middling level of purification and the blessings of the Three Jewels.
When engaged in purification practice generally or an a daily basis, such things are less likely to occur, almost never. So in that sense, purification practices do not make negative karma manifest in unfortunate circumstances as we usually think about. If your practice is middling level during intensive practices, yes, some times it can manifest, but in a very different and controlled manner.
Another example, perhaps you have the karma to be in a serious car accident, but on a daily basis if you do purifications practices, such as Vajrasattva or Protector Kawang, you have been purifying karma slowly over time. You haven't got rid of the karma completely, so if the causes and conditions are right, then that karma will still ripen, but to a small extent. For example instead of being serious harmed physically, you only a small scratch, but apart from that everything else is fine. I hope that makes sense? Thank you.

Charles asked:What is the best way to ask a guru to be your teacher? I don't want to just burst into a temple and say "please be my teacher!" I desperately want to learn from a real guru I just have no idea how to establish this relationship. Thank you for your time!pastor answered:Hello Charles,
It's really good to read this. Before you actually ask that guru, you should do your research. Understand the lineage teachings of your guru, which tradition, how long he/she has been practising and teaching, etc. You should also check the qualities of the guru, these can be found in teachings such as the 50 Verses of Guru Devotion. Once you have researched and checked thoroughly, you need to come to a decision whether or not you can commit to that teacher. The guru-disciple relationship is very, very important in our spiritual path. So you should prepare yourself by reading more about the importance of the guru and the guru-disciple relationship.
Once you have come to an informed decision, you should arrange with the temple to meet that guru. You should prepare offerings before hand. This can be anything from your heart, but traditionally they are representations of the body (Buddha images, such as a statue, thangka, printed and framed image, ect), speech (and Dharma text) and mind (stupa) of the Buddhas. When you go to see the guru to request taking Refuge with them, you should prostrate three times to the guru, offer a khata to them, then present the offerings, and finally request to be their student and ask them to grant Refuge. The act of taking Refuge with a teacher in Tibetan Buddhism, makes that person your guru and the guru-disciple relationship is established. I hope all of this helps. Good luck on your spiritual journey.

Sane asked:Hello Pastors,
Can I recite the 21 praises of Tara for the purpose of memorizing it?pastor answered:Dear Sane,
Of course. That would be very good and beneficial for you. The Praises to the 21 Taras can be recited by anyone, any time. The best would of course be during your sadhana (daily practice), but it can be recited any time of the day. If you are trying to memorise it, it is good to recite it as much as you can. The trick with memorising a text is to recite it out aloud, rather than in your head. That way you will memorise it quicker. I hope this helps.
Oaka asked:I pray to Avalokiteshvara to help people affected by Cyclone Mocha but there still were many deaths. Is it because of their karma?? I mean this with no offense or disrespect because I genuinely want to know. But if Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are above the law of karma, why can't they save people in the world from catastrophes and dangers if they can bypass karma or save despite the people's karma? we've heard in Avalokitesvara chapter that he saves people from fires, falling, being chained, demons, etc. So I don't understand.... Please make it clear for me. pastor answered:Dear Oaka,
Thanks for your question. Actually it is a very interesting one, but you guess the answer already. Yes, the fully enlightened beings are no longer bound by karma. Actually that is one of the definitions of enlightenment, that one is free from the law of karma. So, they can definitely help us when we are suffering to alleviate our suffering, but why is it they cannot always help us, for example when you prayed to Avalokiteshvara to help the people affected by the tragedy of Cyclone Mocha? You already included it in your questions, it's karma. The force of our own negative karma is what stops them from helping us. In this particular case, from the angle of karma the Cyclone was ultimately caused by the negative group karma of people living in that area. However, some people's negative karma ripened and they died, but many people's negative karma did not ripen and they did not die. Even with the power of your prayers and the prayers of others around the world, the enlightened beings could have helped many people, stopped their negative karma from ripening, so they didn't die. We don't have the ability to check this, we must go on faith. But for some people, their negative karma was so strong, that the prayers and merits generated for them wasn't enough to allow the enlightened beings to help them. Karma plays a very big role in samsara, how we suffer and also understanding karma is how we progress on our spiritual path. That is why the basis of Buddhism, is not to create negative karma and at the same time purify the negative karma that we already have. Then we won't suffer and the Buddhas can help us even more. I hope this answer helps.

Sonia asked:Please help me i love a guy i want to marry him can u help mepastor answered:Hi Sonia,
If you are in love with someone and would like to marry that person, then you need to make sure that person feels the same way about you. This is something you need to work towards yourself, as it depends on personal compatibility, personality, etc. You should let him know how you feel about him and go from there. There are no methods in Buddhism to make another person fall in love with you or marry you. I hope this helps. Thank you.
Thu asked:I was reading a book my Geshe Sonam Rinchen, and in one of the pages it talked about the 4 white acts or something like that from what I remembered. And one of those virtuous acts is keeping people within the greater vehicle and out of the lesser vehicle. I was 2 problems; what about Theravada Buddhism seems so "bad"? My second issue is that one of my friends switched from Tibetan Buddhism to Theravada Buddhism because they found the daily sadhana, guru devotion, etc etc as too strict and just too much. They appreciated the simplicity found in Theravada. But then, now what? pastor answered:Hello Thu,
Thanks for your question. You've brought up a topic that is often misunderstood by most people. Actually there is nothing wrong with or bad about Theravada Buddhism. In fact, we are taught that from a Tibetan Buddhist perspective to even think or say that it is bad creates tremendous negative karma. In our particular lineage, we divide the teachings into three 'scopes' or levels in terms of practice. The first two of these are actually the same teachings as the Theravada tradition, however in terms of meditation, we follow slightly different sources. So there is actually nothing bad. Also, at the higher stages of practice within in our tradition, we even take vows at ensuring that we don't belittle or think about the Theravada tradition, as it is actually the core of Buddhist practice.
Now we come to the acts that you are talking about. The reason why this is there is that according to the great vehicle (Mahayana tradition) those who practice the great vehicle will attain enlightenment faster in terms of how many lifetimes it takes. This is due to the development of Bodhicitta, which in essence is the mindset not to achieve enlightenment for just ourselves, but for others. This mind set comes about through loving-kindness and compassion meditations which are extremely detailed. So we are taught not to discourage those who are practising the great vehicle, from giving up their practice and either practising the Theravada tradition or giving up Buddhist practice altogether. That is what the act you refer to is all about. That is from our side, not to discourage someone from their practice.
However, if a person themselves chooses to stop practising the great vehicle and practise the Theravada instead, that is of course their choice. Is this a negative thing from their side, no not at all. We believe that the Buddha taught 84,000 methods to gain enlightenment. So they will still gain liberation when following the Theravada tradition, it will still benefit them tremendously. However, it is the belief of those who practice the Mahayana, that it will take them a longer time in terms of lifetimes to reach that goal. I hope what I have explained makes sense.
All of this is discussed in great length within the Lamrim teachings. In our centre we focus on the text known as Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand (https://www.vajrasecrets.com/lamrim-liberation-in-the-palm-of-your-hand). This text forms the core of our education programme in Kechara. If you are interested in the Lamrim, you will notice that in terms of practice, we differ than the Theravada tradition, but in terms of the teachings themselves, especially of the first two 'scopes' of the Lamrim, the teachings are exactly the same. I hope this helps to answer your question.
Kenny asked:Hej Pastors!
I would like to ask about:
What is relationship between Setrap and Kalarupa?
I saw in Setrap practice in the end that i saw verse pray o Kalarupa and what's meaning for this?
My friend use to do daily to prayers and offer serkyem to Kalarupa but nowaday, he has feeling deeply with help and bless from Setrap.
Can he still do his daily pray and serkyem to Kalarupa combine with Setrap prayers/ practices together?
How to do this?
Thank you so much.
pastor answered:Hello Kenny,
There is no specific relationship between the two protectors. However, both are enlightened beings manifesting in worldly forms as Dharma Protectors. Kalarupa is an emanation of Manjushri and Setrap is an emanation of Amitabha. Both of these protectors have been relied on heavily within our tradition. Kalarupa was considered to be the main protector of the entire Gelug lineage because Lama Tsongkhapa recommended his practice a lot. And Setrap was the special Protector of Gaden Shartse Monastery, from which our lineage comes from. So, sometimes in the prayers of a specific protector, it will include other protectors as well. So when you practice one, you are also invoking the others as well.
In regards to your friend's practice, if he is doing the Kalarupa practice as assigned to him or recommended to him by his guru, or if it's the main practice of his centre or Dharma organisation, he needs to keep doing it as there is Samaya involved. If he would like to engage in Setrap's practice in addition to the Kalarupa practice, he should get the permission of his guru or at least the advice of the senior members of his Dharma organisation. If he can get these, then yes, he can do the practices to both. He shouldn't mix the practices together, but do one after the other. For example, finish Kalarupa and then do Setrap.
If he was not assigned the practice but just started doing it himself, then there is no problem with doing both, finish first Kalarupa and then do Setrap. Both should be done daily. If he already has quite a long practice of doing Kalarupa, then I would not suggest that he stop it altogether. Many people these days start a practice, then when they like another practice more, stop their original practice and start doing another one. This will not actually be of much benefit, you won't get the results of either deity. This is because receiving the results of a particular practice requires consistency. That is only how progress is made in true and lasting spiritual transformation. I hope this helps. Thank you.

The Chair
I have one chair I usually sit on to do my sadhana, watch a program, read, write, research and so on. But many times I return from my bathroom, Oser girl has taken over my chair. She gives me this look like, it’s her chair! She’s a spunky little schnauzer. The room has so much space, other sofas and places of interest, but my Oser has to hijack my chair always. I have to gently move her over and squeeze in next to her like I did last night into the same chair. We sat together for hours and she fell asleep in my chair huddled against me. Love is sharing a chair even though it’s meant for one occupant at a time. ? Tsem Rinpoche
It is incredible how smart Oser girl is. She can steal the treat away from Dharma boy and so casually. Wow. She is so smart. A must watch short video!! Tsem Rinpoche

The videos JUST came out!
Enjoy!
Dear Rinpoche, the three mumus are so adorable. Yogi is really photogenic. And I can see that Dharma baby is not really used to it, well, it is his time grooming but he actually behave quite well for his time. Sometimes when I see people grooming the dogs, the dogs don’t really stay still. I wish I have a chance to get a dog like the mumus.
These three doggies are so cute(good to call these pictures cute attack)
Dharma looks so cute during the grooming.
KB really loves Oser,Dharma,Mumu as if they were his very own babies!!!
3 really cute doggies that will represent Tsem Ladrang.
I pray that they will have a good rebirth.
They are so cute that I want to cuddle with them! Just like Ethan said is very hard not to love the three Mumus and they are also very well behaved. Dharma, Oser and Mumu look so much better after grooming. They are really the cute attack for the day hehe.
OMB! Dharma baby is such a good boy! All of them are good boys and girl, they stayed still during the grooming. Uncle KB loves the Mumus very much, I can see that through his actions. The Mumus are so very lucky to have Uncle KB as their ‘godfather’. Hehe..
Thank You for sharing the video Rinpoche.
Love, beatrix.
these doggies are sooo cute and Dharma baby was so calm on his first grooming, hehe. uncle KB sounds so funny too. : D
This is so cute. KB really does take care of the mumus. He is such a caring man. I love his shrill voice upon grooming them.
The ladrang doggies are the kind of doggies that never fail in turning my frown upside down. They are just that cute !!!!!
KB loves and cares towards mumu, Dharma and Oser reflect to his sincere and devotion to Rinpoche. KB is a gems, he does things from his sincere heart. When mumu was sick and had to stay at the animal hospital, KB was there with mumu and make sure mumu is fine.
Mumu, Dharma and oser are well trained and they are so cute, and adorable..
Mumu,Oser and Dharma never fail to make a bad day to a good day.These dog are so cute,adorable and well behaved just take a look at them so still and calm while there fur is being groomed and for KB well he did a good job narrating and keeping the dogs calm.
3 very cute handsome boys. All the animals in the ladrang are cared for beyond what any normal pet owner would do for their dogs. That is Rinpoche’s way, which is to benefit all living beings, including animals! KB is a very kind and nice boy, and has learnt everything to do with dog care. He is now the main caregiver for Rinpoche’s dogs.
kb adalah budak yang cermat dan dia amat sayang mumu, oser dan dharma,mumu sentiasa sakit dan kb adalah orang yang pertama dapat tahu mumu sakit kerana dia sentiasa menganjuk kelakuan mumu.
Wong (the name I know her as) used to be my pet’s groomer too. She very nice and really loves animals. She comes to the house and even helped me buy pet food sometimes. Very very nice lady. Although she gets bullied by her customers quite a bit. They sometimes don’t pay her and make her drive all the way to Ampang just to clean their pet’s ears. 🙁 I’m glad she’s got the good opportunity to groom Rinpoche’s dogs.
If Lama Tsongkhapa, Vajrayogini, and Setrap represent the Kechara House. Mumu, Osel, and Dharma will represent the Tsem ladrang, very playful and sweet mumus.
KB takes very good care of Mumu, Oser and Dharma. When i first met KB in KP SS2, he spoke very little English, he pushed himself and now no only he speaks good English but he can take care of animals from food to medical very well even better than people who has pets. KB treat these 3 doggie as his real babies.
hehe.. these cutie pies are going for a retreat! And KB sounds so funny with his hight pitch voice haha! It is hard not to love Mumu, Oser and Dharma!
