Question asked by Mewa gumar (Om is my real name)
Dear Rinpoche, I am an ordinary human being who is jobless and sufferred a lot due to my bad karma, i saw some where that this year i am yet to face lots of difficulties and this keeps me stressed. I used to recite sampa lhuendrup and dolma but i couldnt continue. And nowadays i hear bad news, and lots of rejections in whatever i do and dream of going downward. What should i do ?
I am getting frustrated day by day and sadness has over flown my life. My mind has stopped working. My birth mewa is 9 but not able to prosper my life.
Dear Om,
Thank you for your message. And very sorry to hear that you are having a hard time at the moment. First of all, this section is answered by the Kechara Pastors. His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche passed into Parinirvana three years ago. You can read more about that here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/me/the-parinirvana-of-kyabje-tsem-rinpoche.html
Everything that we go through in life, whether good or bad has a reason, and that reason is karma. So any practice that we do, necessarily deals with karma in one form or another. If we are experiencing negative states in our lives, that means that negative karma has opened up. In order to overcome those negative states, we can engage in the practices or pujas of certain Buddhas.
May I ask why you stopped reciting the Sampa Lhundrup and Drolma prayers? They are very, very powerful and effective in overcoming these types of obstacles.
Since your birth Mewa is No. 9, you should engage in practices connected with Manjushri or Lama Tsongkhapa. But since you are going through such a tough time, I suggest you engage in the practice and mantra of Dorje Shugden. He is a Dharma Protector, and an emanation of Manjushri. You can find a short prayer and his mantra here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/a-short-prayer-to-dorje-shugden.html
There is an article which introduces you to Dorje Shugden here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/beginners-introduction-to-dorje-shugden.html
There is also an entire section on this website dedicated to Dorje Shugden, you can check the very top of the page, to find that section of the site. You can learn more about Dorje Shugden in the articles there. I hope this helps.
