Drupon Khen Rinpoche in Africa | 主奔堪仁波切的非洲之行

DKR1

Dear friends around the world,

I wish to share with you on the amazing Drupon Khen Rinpoche and his effort in spreading Lord Buddha’s teachings in Africa. Africa is the second largest continent after Asia, covering about one-fifth of the total land surface of Mother Earth with a staggering population of 1.3 billion in 2019. With such a big population, many of them are still living in poverty and their living conditions are not the best. Furthermore, not many lamas go to Africa to spread Dharma.

Drupon Khen Rinpoche’s first visit to Africa was on August 2017 when he flew to South Africa and teach at Tara Rokpa Centre in Groot Marico and Samye Ling in Harare, Zimbabwe. The trip lasted for about 2 weeks and Rinpoche generously sponsored meals for 150 locals on his last day in Groot Marico, as a session to know them better. Drupon Rinpoche’s subsequent visit to the African soil was in 2018.

In 2019, he will be giving teachings in 5 Buddhist centers, a significant increase compared to the last 2 visits he made to Africa.

It touched me deeply to see Buddha Dharma arriving in Africa, may Buddha’s teaching flourish in this continent to benefit many more people. I myself have always wanted to go to Africa also in the past to bring Dharma but didn’t have the chance to. So I am happy to see this development. I have no connections to Drupon Khen Rinpoche nor have I ever met him. I obtained the pictures and information from the internet. I am simply sharing how happy I am to see a Buddhist teacher share the Dharma in Africa. It brought tears to my eyes. Most lamas never visit developing countries to share the Dharma but only to affluent countries, that is why this touches me deeply.

Below is a short article about Drupon Khen Rinpoche’s trips in Africa with pictures and videos. I pray that Drupon Khen Rinpoche will be able to make the Dharma grow in Africa. I pray Lord Shakyamuni Buddha, Tara and Guru Rinpoche will bless the works there and it will grow. May the beautiful people of Africa be blessed with meeting the Dharma.

Biography of Drupon Khen Rinpoche

DKR3
Drupon Khen Rinpoche is a lama from the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Rinpoche was trained from an early age under the direction of highly accomplished masters of Mahamudra and Dzogchen. His list of lamas comprised of famous and unknown yogis of all lineages, especially from Kagyu and Nyingma. Rinpoche started to learn rituals and procedures for many Vajrayana practice when he was seven years old. At fourteen, Rinpoche went to Khenpo Palga and received novice ordination.

By the time he was seventeen, he already had a deep renunciation for the mundane everyday activities and decided to enter into a retreat. During this time, he received teachings from the retreat master, Drupon Rinpoche Karma Sherab, and from Lama Senge. Lama Senge often met with Rinpoche to answer his questions and offer him advice. Rinpoche was able to have full understanding on the topic of meditation and the mind, making Lama Senge his root guru.

After Drupon Rinpoche Karma Sherab and Lama Senge had passed into nirvana, Rinpoche went on to receive teachings from several high lamas such as the revered Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche, Khenpo Munsel, Khenpo Pentse, Adzom Drukpa Rinpoche, and more. After receiving such wealth of teachings, Rinpoche, then left to reside at Thrangu Vajra Vidya Institute in Varanasi. At Thrangu Vajra Vidya, he gave teachings to the shedra students and was appointed as the retreat master for Thrangu Sekhar Retreat center near Bhaktapur, Nepal by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche. He also taught at Thrangu Monastery Shedra (a Buddhist college) and Thrangu Tara Abbey (a nunnery).

Later, Rinpoche was invited to Kagyu Samye Ling monastery in the UK at Lama Katen’s suggestion. Akong Rinpoche and Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche requested Rinpoche to devise and teach a part-time shedra course at the monastery and to be the retreat master for the retreat centers on the Isle of Arran and Holy Isle. To date, Rinpoche continues to guide the retreats and give teachings in Samye Ling annually.

Rinpoche’s Visit to Africa

DKR2

Rinpoche’s first trip to Africa came about due to the sincere wishes and invitations of many who attend and practice at the centers there. Finally, on 30th August 2017, Drupon Khen Rinpoche arrived in Johannesburg, South Africa for the first time. It was a one-week meditation and teaching retreat at Tara Rokpa Centre in Groot Marico. On the morning of the last day, Rinpoche invited over 150 locals to lunch so he could get to know more of them.

After the meal, Rinpoche boarded a flight to Harare, Zimbabwe. Upon arrival, Rinpoche was received by members of the Samye Ling related centers in Harare and two renowned spirit mediums, Sekuru Motota and Sekuru Shumba, who are highly revered holy men in the local community. During Rinpoche’s visit, he was invited for lunch in Sekuru Shumba’s village where he witnessed the life of rural Africans.

DKR16

On the 10th of December, 2018, Rinpoche landed on African soil again. This time, he went to Lubumbashi in The Democratic Republic of the Congo. The primary purpose of the visit was to get the feel of the locals and their situation. During this visit, Rinpoche gave refuge and refuge vows to 215 people, it was an occasion full of joy and enthusiasm.

Four days after the event, Rinpoche travelled to Zimbabwe with Lama Katen where he visited the region and people of Chikukwa in a remote area right on the border of Mozambique. Here, Rinpoche engaged in a fascinating cultural dialogue with the region’s elders and spirit mediums. The dialogue lasted for two days before Rinpoche returned to Harare and taught for one and a half days in Samye Ling Harare.

Rinpoche has scheduled teachings from 25th October to 3rd November, 2019 in a total of 5 different Buddhist centers in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

 

The Five Chosen for Trial from Africa

DKR6

During the time of Dharma King Trisong Detsen, seven Tibetans were chosen to be the Seven Chosen for Trial to go forth as monastics to assess whether Tibetans were fit to uphold the precepts. Eventually, they went on to become translators whose work benefited many people by making the teachings available to them. Drupon Khen Rinpoche has chosen five African children to undergo his training and nurturing in the hope that they will become wonderful propagators of Buddhism in their homeland just like The Seven Chosen for Trial.

Drunpon Khen Rinpoche has said that these children will be a central part of his primary purpose for this current life. He hopes to be able to groom and nurture these children into brave, caring, and wise men and women who can spread the philosophy of peace and non-violence in their own country in the future.

Drupon Khen Rinpoche feels most Tibetan lamas have focused on developed and affluent countries, neglecting developing countries such as those in Africa, therefore, he wishes more Tibetan lamas will start to focus on spreading Dharma in the developing countries of Africa.

亲爱的朋友们,

我想要和各位分享这位主奔堪仁波切在非洲弘扬佛陀教诲的事业。非洲是继亚洲之后的第二大洲,占据全球陆地总面积的五分之一;2019年的数据显示,非洲人口高达13亿人。非洲人口众多但是大部人的生活还是贫困、生活条件还是不理想。到目前为止,前往非洲弘法的上师也并不多。主奔堪仁波切身体力行不计艰辛到非洲弘法的举动令人鼓舞,我非常随喜。

看到佛法传入非洲,让我感动万分,我希望佛陀的教诲能够在这个区域茁壮成长,广传利益更多的人。我本身一直都很想把佛法带到非洲但是都没有这样的机会。看到佛教在非洲的发展,让我雀跃万分。我和主奔堪仁波切没有任何关系也不曾和他见过面。这些图片和资讯是我从网际网路上获得的。我只是很单纯的想要和大家分享看到一位佛法上师在非洲弘法的喜悦。这样的讯息让我热泪盈眶、感动非常。由于大多数的上师都到发达国家而不去发展中国家弘法,因此当我看到主奔堪仁波切在非洲的事业,我深深被感动。

下面是有关主奔堪仁波切在非洲弘法的点滴,包括了一些照片和视频。我祈望这位仁波切的事业能够成功且日益增长。我也向佛陀释迦牟尼、度母和莲花生大师祈愿让主奔堪仁波切的佛法事业能够得到加持日益增长。希望非洲美丽的人们能够因为和法佛接触而得到加持。

詹杜固仁波切

 

仁波切简介

DKR3

主奔堪仁波切是一位藏传佛教噶玛噶举派的上师。他自小在精通大手印和大圆满的众大师座下学习,包括了各传承的著名大师和名不见经传的瑜伽士,其中又以噶举传承和宁玛传承的大师居多。仁波切七岁起就开始学习金刚乘里的许多仪式,14岁正式出家,受戒于堪布帕尔噶。

17岁时,仁波切对日常的世俗活动生起强烈的出离心,决定进入闭关。那时他从闭关大师竹奔仁波切噶玛希绕和喇嘛僧给那里接受教诲。喇嘛僧给常跟仁波切见面,亲自解答各种疑问并给予指导,让仁波切对禅修和心识有了全面的掌握,喇嘛僧给也因此成了仁波切的根本上师。

仁波切的上师们圆寂之后,仁波切先后又依止了法王晋美彭措、堪布门瑟、堪布潘策、阿宗竹巴仁波切等多位上师,听受诸多显教经论及密教续部窍诀等法教。在向这么多位上师学习之后,仁波切迁居到印度瓦拉纳西的创古智慧金刚大学给佛学院学生授课。接着,仁波切被堪千创古仁波切委任为尼泊尔巴塔布尔附近创古瑟卡闭关中心的闭关指导上师。除此之外,仁波切也在创古寺佛学院和创谷度母院教学。

随后仁波切又被邀请前往英国的噶举桑耶林任职导师一职,并且设计课程内容。同时也担任该地闭关中心的闭关指导上师。自此,仁波切每年都到桑耶林教课和引导闭关。

仁波切非洲之旅

DKR2

桑耶林在非洲数间中心的弟子非常有诚意地邀请仁波切前往该处拜访。2017年8月30日,仁波切终于第一次飞往非洲,踏上南非的国土前往约翰内斯堡。仁波切在靠近约翰内斯堡的度母若巴中心引导为期七天的禅修和闭关课程。仁波切在闭关课程的最后一天设宴邀请150人进餐,以便更深入的了解当地风俗民情。

用餐之后,仁波切再次踏上旅途前往津巴布韦。在津巴布韦迎接仁波切的包括了津巴布韦桑耶林的成员、两名当地有名、备受尊敬的巫师。在这次的旅程中,仁波切探访了当地的村子,见证了当地人的生活。

DKR16

仁波切在2018年12月10日再次前往非洲。这次旅程的首个目的地是刚果的卢本巴希,主要还是对当地人进行更深一步的认识,了解他们的情况。仁波切也为215人进行皈依仪式。

仁波切在刚果逗留了四天,之后便与喇嘛喀登前往津巴布韦。这次的津巴布韦之旅,仁波切造访了比邻莫桑比克的赤库瓦。在这两天的行程里,仁波切与当地的长老还有巫师进行了有趣的文化交流。在离开非洲之前,仁波切又在津巴布韦的桑耶寺授课。

仁波切将在2019年10月25日至11月3日前往南非、津巴布韦还有刚果的五间中心弘法。

 

非洲预试五人

DKR6

“吐蕃三法王”之一的赤松德赞选了七位吐蕃贵族出家为僧称预试七人。他们开始将梵文佛经译为藏文利益了许多人,是为藏传佛教僧团之始。仁波切也仿效赤松德赞选了五位非洲男女童为预试五人,教导他们佛法和细心栽培,希望他们学习有成以后能有如预试七人回到他们的国土弘扬佛法、利益众生。

仁波切说这五个孩子会是他这一生最大的使命,他希望把这些孩子培养成勇敢、慈悲的智者好让他们在未来可以在他们的国土推广和平和无暴力的理念。

仁波切有感现在的西藏上师都专注在发达国家弘法,在非洲发展中国家弘法的上师并不多。因此他希望西藏上师能够开始转移重心,到非洲弘法。

    Dharma is spreading and flourishing around the world, that’s wonderful. Especially to countries such as Africa, we have Drupon Khen Rinpoche Karma Lhabu to thanks. Africa is a massive continent with diverse religious traditions, it’s a up hill task teaching Buddhism . Buddhism is a quiet new religion in South Africa, most Lamas would prefer going to Asian or European countries to spread Dharma teachings.
    Drupon Khen Rinpoche Karma Lhabu is a monastic teacher in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. While in Tibet he received extensive training in Dharma and Meditation. He studied under many accomplished masters of mahamudra and dzogchen. All from Kagyu and Nyingma lineages whom are famous lamas and unknown yogis . He travelled all the way to Africa to spread Dharma and working tirelessly , going to remote parts of Africa . Truly compassionate of him.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    佛法之所以经历两千六百多年依然存在,且继续弘扬四方,靠的就是许许多多像主奔仁波切这样的僧人。他们无视本身的需要,远赴重洋,冒着各种危险,到文化和习俗都非常不一样的地方,一切从零做起,这样的精神令人肃然起敬。事实上,不仅是佛教,其他宗教也在做着同样的事情,传教者在把宗教带入某个区域的同时,也带来了其他的发展,比如教育、医疗和基础设施等。这才是信仰的精神,一切以利他为主。其实无论是什么宗教,只要做到这点,那都是值得尊敬的。

  3. Chris on Jun 13, 2019 at 1:37 am

    Thank you, Rinpoche and blog team for sharing this good news. Africa is the second largest continent in the world but Buddhism is not popular there. If Buddhism is able to take root in Africa, a lot people will be able to connect to Buddha Dharma and be benefitted from the supreme teachings of Lord Buddha.

    Africans are generally spiritual people due to their culture and also living conditions which made them to rely on spirituality and outer divine beings to continue to have hope in their difficult life. Life in Africa is not a stroll in the park and often times, people have to rely on an outer source to have the strength to continue with their life.

    Drupon Khen Rinpoche is a very compassionate lama as he is willing to travel to the foreign country to spread Buddha’s teaching despite of all the difficulties. From his trip in Africa, we can see that he is willing to work hard to maximise his time with the community and give as much teachings as possible. May Drupon Khen Rinpoche’s endeavours in Africa flourished and have maximum benefit on the people there.

  4. Samfoonheei on Jun 9, 2019 at 11:58 am

    Buddhism, as a major world religion, is practiced in many part of the world except few in Africa. Africans were aware of Buddhism yet today Africa is the least Buddhist of the inhabited continents. Drunpon Khen Rinpoche realized that while there were religious and cultural Tibetan Buddhist organizations all around the world. Inspired by the Buddhist teachings, he decided to dedicate himself fully to spiritual life against the odds in Africa. In the early years he has to face many challenges. His first visit to Africa was in 2017 followed by more subsequent visits to spread Buddhism. By 2019 he visited few center than sharing Dharma in Africa.
    May Drunpon Khen Rinpoche continue to guide them and give Lord Buddha’s teachings to more people in Arica.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this inspiring sharing.

  5. Yee Yin on May 29, 2019 at 12:43 am

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this heartwarming news with us. Traditionally, Buddhism is not a very common faith in Africa. It started in Asia and had spread across Asia, and the Middle East in the early days. Later, Buddhism was brought to western countries. Africa is one continent that Dharma hardly reaches.

    What Rinpoche said is very true. Most of the Buddhist teachers go to countries in Asia or developed countries to spread Dharma, not many go to Africa. Actually, African people also need Dharma badly. In general, Africa is still a very poor continent, there are many internal wars and fights, many people are starving due to famine. Material help can only solve their problems for the short term. However, with Dharma knowledge, it will help them to get through the difficult period and give them hopes.

    Drupon Khen Rinpoche is very compassionate and he is sincere to help the Africans. He made trips to the villages so he could understand their culture and custom and it will help him to impart Dharma in them. Buddhism can be accepted easily by the locals because they are not asked to forego their traditions and custom, they can still maintain it and at the same time practice Dharma.

  6. Mingwen on May 25, 2019 at 3:52 pm

    This is amazing, Rinpoche!

    It’s extremely heart warming to see Dharma is spreading around the world & people are interested & have faith (Friends from Africa are chanting praises to 21 Taras:O).

    It’s scary if the world has degenerate until there is no Dharma.

    May more & more people who are with pure hearts can share the teachings of Buddha to many people.

    Thank you very much for sharing, Rinpoche?

  7. Sarah on May 25, 2019 at 12:12 pm

    I wish His Eminence Drupon Khen Rinpoche success in nurturing and training the Five Chosen For Trial. It takes time for Dharma to take root in a new environment and it depends very much on training indigenous people who will in turn nurture and train others in the local community and from there the Dharma will spread. My best wishes to Rinpoche in all his endeavours.

  8. Pastor Lanse on May 25, 2019 at 10:47 am

    佛教的特色之一就是它总能融入每一个地方的民俗文化中,从不显得特别高高在上,所以每一个国家、地方或某个族群所修持的佛教,或多或少都会有他们本身的特色。这点我大可从佛像的多元化特色中略见端倪。泰国佛像、缅甸佛像、中国佛像、西藏佛像等,都具有本身强烈的风格,有时候,甚至是同一个国家不同时期制造的佛像也都会显得不同。这充分显示了佛教注重精神而不拘泥于形式的特点。

    佛教源自印度,印度佛教并没有献哈达的传统,这传统本属于西藏文化,但今天献哈达的传统却已经演变成凡是有藏传佛教的地方就会有这项传统。而今天,在这些非洲视频中,我们看到藏传佛教到了非洲,既保留了藏传佛教本身的特色,也纳入了非洲当地的特色,比如他们用来表示欢迎的叫喊声和舞蹈等,甚至他们的巫师也参与其中,形成了一道独特又美丽的风景。

    很高兴看到佛法在非洲这片大地上萌芽发展,形成具有地方特色的佛教。期待在日后 的国际佛教大会上能看到非籍僧人的踪迹。

    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.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this inspiring post

    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.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great inspiration post.

    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.

    Vajrayogini symbolizes the wisdom of all enlightened beings and embodies the impulse of inspiration that drives the Buddhas to attain the perfect enlightenment. Vajrayogini is one of the most effective practices for people today. We can make offerings such as gold or jewel offerings and so on. The offering of gold helps us to collect merits, spiritual attainments, gain a deeper connection to Vajrayogini. It also creates the causes to attain a Buddha’s body.
    Make Offerings to Vajrayogini in Kechara Forest Retreat at Bentong is such an meritorious way for us to collect merits. All thanks to our Guru having conceptualised the idea of having a statue of Vajrayogini for everyone . Recitation of Vajrayogini mantra can be a powerful tool for self-transformation, healing and liberation from samsara.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing with details explanation .

    Thank you, Rinpoche for sharing this insightful article. Life is short, and if we enjoy every moment of every day, then we will be happy no matter what happens or what changes along the way.What ever matter to us at the time of death is nothing. In the end, it’s not the years in our life that count it’s what you leave behind that matters. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again.Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. Learning Dharma and practicing dharma is the our choice that’s matter. Some of the key points to take notes, read, study the Lam Rim and apply it, engage in Sadhana daily and consistently. No one will help us at the moment of death but ourselves. Spiritual practicing is the best choice.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Well the size of Buddha statues in Tibetan Buddhism is important because it represents the Buddha’s immense ability and vast knowledge. Hence the Buddha statues hold the symbol of satisfaction within, peace and happiness. They are a symbol of inspiration for every human being. When we focus on the Buddha statues, it gives us inner peace that our mind, our heart and our soul gets enlightened.
    We have are so fortunate seeing and circumambulating where the 9-foot Dorje Shugden statue and with 500 mantra stones engraved with Dorje Shugden’s sacred mantra. As Rinpoche had said before the bigger and more Buddha statues helps in planting seeds of enlightenment in people’s mind-streams. It also help us to generate as much merit and purify as much karma as possible. Merely by seeing all those big statues at Kechara Forest Retreat is a blessing.
    Thank you Rinpoche.

    The 4th Tagpu Pemavajra Jampel Tenpai Ngodrub, most commonly known as Tagpu Dorje Chang, was a highly accomplished yogi Highly attained lama who had many authentic visions of the Buddhas and even travel astrally to receive direct teachings from them. His recognised line of incarnations stem all the way back to the 14th Century. He is generally regarded as such amongst Gelug lineage holders. He spent most of his time in a hermitage located above Sera Monastery, gave teachings and transmitted many vital practices and lineages to his foremost student Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche. Besides receiving the complete instructions of Dorje Shugden’s practice, Tagpu Dorje Chang had many other mystical experiences throughout his lifetime. Interesting read biography of a highly accomplished mahasiddha lama.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    n Tibetan culture, it is a popular and customary practice for families to invite monks to perform spiritual ceremonies such as Trusol rituals. The monks have had the opportunity to offer such ceremonies for individuals or their families. Such ceremonies purify the elements of the environment which helps those living or visiting there to experience good health, success and well-being. The sacred ritual of ‘bathing’ the Buddhas and consecration through which negativities, sicknesses and obstacles will be cleared. Where by filling those areas with positive energies and good vibes through this Trusol consecration puja. Water is an essential part of this puja and symbolises the cleansing of all negativities and impurities. Through this puja it also pacifies local deities and other unseen beings in the surrounding areas. We are indeed fortunate that Tsem Rinpoche has taught Kecharians this practice and it has benefited many.
    Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands

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.
    7 years ago
    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
