Question asked by Sandra
Respected Pastors, Did you all find it difficult to practice dharma after Rinpoche passed away? How do you practice dharma every moment of your life? What advise would you give to a lay person who wishes to abandon the 3 poisons, watch their mind moment to moment and practice dharma moment to moment? Many many thanks for your learning, practice and answers. I wish all of Tsem Rinpoche's pastors and students succeed marvellously in their practices.
Dear Sandra,
Thank you for your kind words. They mean a lot.
The best way to practice the Dharma is day by day and step-by-step. We cannot be the perfect practitioner of the Dharma from the very beginning, but we should make effort in our practice on a daily basis.
The very fundamental way to get rid of the Three Poisons by striving to abandon the 10 non-virtues. You can find a video teaching by Tsem Rinpoche on this subject here: https://youtu.be/6FgXQp-uvNU
The next thing to do is to study and practice the Lam Rim. The text we use if called Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand, available here: https://www.vajrasecrets.com/lamrim-liberation-in-the-palm-of-your-hand
I hope this helps in your transformation along your Dharma path! Thank you.
