Question asked by Frater M.
Dear Tsem Rinpoche, I was happy to see your article on Wicca, and how the relgion of Witchcraft has been misunderstood over the years. As you probably know, a lot of Witches and Neopagans like Buddhism and incorporate it into their spiritual lives. Could you do a similar article about Satanism? Satanism has a similar history of being misunderstood. Real Satanists do not worship evil, but are law-abiding citizens with an attraction to the "dark" side. Actually many of us also like Tibetan Buddhism for the same reasons (because of all the wrathful deities). In your opinion, is it possible to practice both Buddhism and Satanism (and/or Wicca) on the spiruitual path? Thank you, Blessed Be, and Shemhamforash!
Through Rinpoche’s sponsorship at Gaden Sharte Monastery many monks had benefited. Rejoice to them receiving the initiation .Sponsoring the Dharma, which refers to supporting the teachings and practices of Buddhism, is considered a meritorious act in Buddhism. Acts of generosity and support for the Dharma are believed to generate positive karma, leading to positive consequences in this life and future lives.
Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing and explaining it.
