HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche teaches Gaden Lhagyama
Dear most meritorious friends around the world,
This is totally wonderful. A priceless treasure. Nothing can be more precious than listening to the supreme path to enlightenment from a enlightened master. In this incredible video with very clear translations by Ven. Gonsar Rinpoche you will be blessed with incredible dharma nectar. One of the greatest masters to come out of Tibet is His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche who is a supreme Pandita and master of Sutra and Tantra. His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche gives teachings here on the guru yoga of Lama Tsongakapa (Gaden Hlagyema) so clearly. This is a powerful meditational practice focused on Tsongkapa and his migtseyma mantra to heal many ills, unhappiness, negative energies, fears, pains, traumas and generate a positive happy mind. This practice is very powerful for helping in healing a 21st century nemesis which is depression. Tsongkapa’s practice also increases the five types of wisdoms and great for increasing memory. We also do not need permission or initiation to engage in this practice. Both young and old, new and learned may derive great benefits from this. I cannot recommend enough of this. This practice will bring us to enlightenment and it contains the 84,000 teachings of Buddha completely in essence. It is taught by a attained master and it is priceless. I highly recommend everyone to be in a quiet place and listen to these teachings a few times and take notes. The practice of Lama Tsongkapa can only bring tremendous benefits to ourselves, our environments and the beings that abide within this environment.
I supremely rejoice to present this video to all of you.

I was 18 years old when this was taken back in 1983 in Los Angeles, California. Here I am in this photo with my most precious root guru, His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche. He has profoundly changed my life for the better forever. Not a day goes by I don’t think about him, love him, miss him and yearn for his presence and teachings.
I meditate on him in my heart every single day. He was everything that a high Tibetan lama is said to be and more. From the moment I heard his name before meeting him from a friend who had met him already, faith instantly arose in me. Instantly faith arose in me. I did 100 prostrations to his picture everyday until I met him. I wanted to make a spiritual karmic connection with him so that when I met him, I can receive many teachings and that is why I made the prostrations.
No other spiritual teacher although all of them were great has this sort of meteoric impact on me. It’s unexplainable. 30 plus years down the line, my faith, respect and trust in Kyabje Zong Rinpoche is unshakable. I will always follow and practice what he has taught me and given me. I will never abandon my teacher or any practice he has given me no matter what obstacles come my way.
No matter if my life is threatened, or I am disliked or segregated for following his instructions, I will never abandon any of his teachings. No other teacher will ever have me change my practice I have received from Kyabje Zong Rinpoche. May I meet Kyabje Zong Rinpoche in all my future lives too and come under his care. I forever bow to him and place the crown of my unworthy head to his feet. I will follow, meditate, trust and believe in my guru always.
Humbly,
Tsem Rinpoche
这是我与我的至宝根本上师，至尊嘉杰宋仁波切于1983年在加利福尼亚洛杉矶拍下的合照。当年我18岁。他深刻地改变了我的生命，永恒地使我的生命变得更美好。没有那么一天，我不想起他，不珍爱他，不思念他，或是不切盼他的出现与教诲。
每一天，我都在心中忆念嘉杰宋仁波切。他拥有人们眼中一个西藏高僧该具备的一切条件，甚至拥有更多。我从一个曾拜见嘉杰宋仁波切的朋友口中听见宋仁波切的殊胜名字，自那一刻起，我虽未见过仁波切一面，但信心即刻油然而生。在见到仁波切之前的每一天，我都向着他的法照顶礼一百遍，我想跟他结下法缘，那么等到见到他的时候，我能接受到大量的教诲。这是我每日顶礼的原因。
其他所有上师固然殊胜，但没有一个像嘉杰宋仁波切那样对我造成犹如陨星撞击般的影响。这种感受无从解释。我对嘉杰宋仁波切的信心、敬重和信任，三十余载从未动摇。他教过我的，给过我的，我都会一直跟从并且实修。
我永远不会背弃我的上师，或是背弃他赐予我的任何修行，不管我眼前出现什么阻难。即使我因为遵从他的指示而面对生命威胁，或遭受厌弃或排挤，我仍然不会背弃他的任何一个教诲。没有任何一位上师能够动摇嘉杰宋仁波切赐予我的修行。祈愿我生生世世都能遇见嘉杰宋仁波切并得到他的引导。我永世顶礼于嘉杰宋仁波切足下。我将永远遵从上师的教诲，忆念他，信任他，相信他。

Revisited this precious post again. Invaluable treasure indeed by just listening to the supreme path to enlightenment from HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche an enlightened master. H H Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was a Gelug Lama and disciple of the third Trijang Rinpoche, junior tutor of the 14th Dalai Lama. A master of sutra and tantra whom was well known throughout the three great Gelug monasteries of central Tibet.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
Today, I visited this post because of the whatapps message posted by Pastor David/Pastor Henry(Penang). Migsetma is one of the first few mantras that I chanted often when I first encountered Kechara (even way before I actively involved with their activities). It’s life-changing experience!!!
I was quite a timid girl, not having much experiences, with limited knowledge in Buddhism, lots of self-doubt and particularly shy. Now, I wouldn’t have been able to explore more if it’s not because of Rinpoche, who introduced this mantra to us. In fact, I chanted more of Migsetma mantra than the protector mantra (Setrap mantra back then, now DS mantra). I’m able to absorb Dharma more after chanting Migsetma. The visualisations for increased wisdom and memory are a must try! The visualisations during mantra chanting actually stabilised my mind further as it will block out mind wandering and hence increased my concentration. For those who are seeking to increase their wisdom or perhaps wanting to stay out of depression, give this a try… Rinpoche left us with this precious gift and we must treasure it!
Revisit this precious post again as just listening the powerful voice of HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche simply blessing indeed. HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was an incredible Gelug Lama of all time. Fortunate to come across this video again . Listening to the melodies of the Ensa Ear-Whispered Chod Lineage chanting by HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche is rare and precious . Venerable Geshe Namgyal Gangchen of Drepung translated the teachings as taught by Kyabje Zong Rinpoche gives a clear explanation on the Three Principal Aspects of the Path: renunciation, bodhicitta and the right view of emptiness. Will listen again time from time to understand better of the teachings.
Thank you Rinpoche for this rare sharing.
Very precious video. A sense of peace rise within me when listen Kyabje Zong Rinpoche recited and taught the Ensa Ear-Whispered Chod practice. As a newbies, the melodies sounds familiar to me, it’s like the rhythm I heard during puja. The damaru that His Holiness using were big too, it must be heavy.
Illusory body generated through practice of the completion stage of Highest Yoga Tantra, is it consider also Vajrayogini practice?
HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was an incredible Gelug Lama and disciple of the third Trijang Rinpoche , junior tutor of the 14th Dalai Lama. He was well known for his knowledge and debating skills and as a powerful Tantric practitioner. Priceless treasure to hear HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche giving teachings . Hearing his powerful voice and listen to his teachings translated by Ven. Gonsar Rinpoche tell us all . We are fortunate able to be blessed with these rare videos by HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche in his own voice. By practicing Lama Tsongkapa’s practice, we could bring tremendous benefits to ourselves, our environments and so forth. It’s a very beneficial practice.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
Be loyal to your guru. Be close to your guru. Be honest with your guru. Never give your guru excuses but always accomplish your assignments that your guru has given you. Be loving, devoted and sincere with your guru. If you conduct yourself in this way, you will see positive transformations in your mind. ~ Tsem Rinpoche
Please ‘enjoy’ these beautiful images of His Holiness Trijang Rinpoche and His Holiness Ling Rinpoche, the precious tutors of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. These masters shared a very special, close relationship; it was well-known that when in Trijang Rinpoche’s company, Ling Rinpoche was often seen to be laughing. After Trijang Rinpoche’s passing, Ling Rinpoche remarked many times how much he missed Trijang Rinpoche due to the unique and close relationship that they shared.

Lama Yeshe was a very devoted student of His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche. Lama Yeshe very much loved and respected Kyabje Zong Rinpoche and was the first lama to invite Kyabje Zong Rinpoche to the west. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche gave vast amount of empowerments, oral transmissions, teachings and sogtae of Dorje Shugden to many of Lama Yeshe’s senior students. Towards the end of Lama Yeshe’s fruitful life, he was in the hospital and physically shutting down. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was giving teachings in Switzerland and was requested to fly in which Kyabje Zong Rinpoche most graciously did. Here in this picture is Kyabje Zong Rinpoche doing special prayers for his student Lama Yeshe. Lama Yeshe was already partially paralyzed, but true to a meditation master, his mind was extremely clear and bright. You can see Lama Yeshe leaning towards Kyabje Zong Rinpoche in deep respect and devotion. Lama Yeshe practiced all the lineages, yidams, protectors such as Dorje Shugden given to him till the end of his life. He never gave up on any of his practices as he has great devotion to Kyabje Zong Rinpoche and his other lamas. Lama Yeshe’s samaya with Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was so pure, intact and perfect till the end. A great inspiration.~Tsem Rinpoche
耶喜喇嘛是至尊嘉杰宋仁波切的忠诚弟子。耶喜喇嘛十分敬爱嘉杰宋仁波切，他是第一位把宋仁波切邀请到西方弘法的上师。嘉杰宋仁波切曾为耶喜喇嘛的许多资深弟子传授灌顶、口传、教诲和多杰雄登托命灌顶。在耶喜喇嘛即将走完丰富人生旅程之际，他躺在医院病床上，身体已经逐渐衰败。当时正在瑞士弘法的嘉杰宋仁波切被邀请前去探望他，宋仁波切欣然答应了。这张照片显示嘉杰宋仁波切正为弟子耶喜喇嘛进行特殊的法会。耶喜喇嘛那时已经处于半瘫痪状态，但作为一位禅修大师，他的心识却极度清醒。在这张照片中，可见耶喜喇嘛以无限的敬意和依止心，把身体倾向宋仁波切。耶喜喇嘛终其一生都修持上师所传授的传承、本尊、护法修持如多杰雄登法门等。他从不放弃任何上师所传授的教法，因为他对嘉杰宋仁波切和其他上师均拥有极大的依止心。耶喜喇嘛由始至终都对嘉杰宋仁波切保持清净、完整和完美的三昧耶。这真是一个启发人心的典范。～詹杜固仁波切

བདག་གི་མི་ཚེར་ཉེན་ཚབས་བཟོ་ནའང་། བདག་ལ་མ་དགའ་བ་བྱེད་ནའང་། ཡང་ན་བདག་གི་བླ་མའི་བཀའ་སྒྲུབ་པའི་ཕྱིར་བདག་དང་འབྲེལ་ཐག་གཅོད་ནའང་ཁྱད་མེད་བཞིན་བདག་གིས་བླ་མའི་བཀའ་དུས་ནམ་ཡང་མི་འདོར། ༧སྐྱབས་རྗེ་ཟོང་རིན་པོ་ཆེ་སྐུ་མདུན་ནས་ཐོབ་པའི་མཉམ་ལེན་དང་བདག་གི་དད་པ་དམ་ཚིག་བླ་མ་གཞན་སུའང་ཞིག་གིས་འགྱུར་མི་ཐུབ། བདག་གི་ཚེ་ཕྱི་མར་ཡང་༧སྐྱབས་རྗེ་ཟོང་རིན་པོ་ཆེ་མཇལ་བ་དང་ཁོང་སྐུ་མདུན་ནས་བྱམས་སྙིང་རྗེ་ཐོབ་པའི་རེ་སྨོན་ཡོད། ཁོང་གི་ཞབས་ཀྱི་པད་མོར་ཐུག་ཏེ་དུས་རྟག་ཏུ་གུས་ཕྱག་འཚལ། བདག་གིས་སོ་སོའི་བླ་མ་རྗེས་སུ་བཟུང་ཞིང་། ཡིད་ལ་སྒོམ་ཞིང་། རྒྱུན་དུ་དད་པ་དང་ཡིད་ཆེས་བགྱིད།
