Choji Lah adalah penyandang gelar ke-7 dari Penubuat Panglung yang terkenal di Tibet. Ayah beliau adalah Penubuat Panglung ke-6. Choji Lah sering mengalami keadaan terasuk yang kuat dan menjadi perantara bagi para Pelindung Dharma agung seperti Dorje Shugden, Setrap, Kache Marpo dan lainnya. Foto Choji Lah di atas diambil di Kechara Forest Retreat. Beliau tersenyum bahagia sembari menikmati pemandangan hijau di sekitar tempat retret. Kami merasa senang dan terhormat dengan kehadiran beliau di sini. Klik pada gambar untuk memperbesar.

(Oleh Tsem Rinpoche)

Dalam sesi perasukan pribadi kedua kami di Kechara Forest Retreat, Dorje Shugden mengatakan dengan jelas bahwa bekerja untuk Dharma sangatlah baik. Bekerja untuk Kechara sangat baik. Dalam bahasa Tibet beliau menyebutkan bahwa ketika kita bekerja untuk ‘organisasi ini’ (Kechara), kita memenuhi kebutuhan orang lain dan secara otomatis kebutuhan kita juga terpenuhi tanpa perlu memikirkannya. Hal ini tentu saja juga berlaku bagi wihara dan pusat Dharma lainnya, tetapi kali ini Dorje Shugden merujuk pada Kechara secara khusus. Orang lain mungkin tidak sependapat mengenai makna dan manfaat pekerjaan Dharma, tetapi kebijaksanaan mahluk biasa tidak dapat dibandingkan dengan kebijaksanaan dan kemampuan meramal dari Pelindung Dharma tercerahkan seperti Dorje Shugden. Saya tidak akan terpengaruh oleh orang lain atau rekan kerja yang mengatakan bekerja untuk memberi manfaat bagi orang lain dalam Dharma tidak ada artinya, karena walaupun mungkin bermaksud baik, mereka tidak memiliki kebijaksanaan yang sempurna.

Mahluk biasa, meskipun bermaksud baik, mungkin tidak memiliki pengetahuan dan pemahaman tentang cara kerja hukum sebab dan akibat (hukum karma), karena itu kebanyakan dari mereka hanya bisa mengatakan: nikmati hidup dan bersenang-senanglah selagi bisa. Kebanyakan nasihat dari mahluk biasa seperti ini akhirnya membawa masalah dan penderitaan lebih lanjut. Saya akan selalu lebih percaya pada Dharma Sang Buddha dan Dorje Shugden daripada teman atau ‘teman’ atau mahluk biasa mana pun, meskipun mungkin mereka sangat peduli pada kita karena ajaran Buddha tidak mungkin salah dan nasihat Dorje Shugden selalu memberi bermanfaat bagi kita dalam jangka panjang. Kita selalu bisa mengandalkan Dharma dan Dorje Shugden.

Dorje Shugden berkata ketika situasi negatif terjadi, tidak seharusnya kita berkecil hati. Sebaliknya, kita harus berpikir, “Saat ini saya mengalami nasib buruk, saya telah mengalami akibat karma, dan sekarang karma tersebut telah dimurnikan.” Ketika kita mengalami sesuatu, karma itu selesai atau sedang dalam proses penyelesaian. Pengalaman adalah hasil dari karma. Setelah dialami, karma itu selesai. Jadi sebenarnya kita harus bersukacita karena karma ini sudah selesai. Ini adalah cara yang benar untuk melihat kejadian tidak mengenakan dalam hidup kita. Lebih baik melihatnya sebagai penyelesaian, daripada meratap dan berkecil hati.

Dorje Shugden berkata jika kita memiliki masalah atau penyakit, jangan hanya mengeluh atau menahan sakit dan membiarkan penyakit atau masalah ini, sebaiknya kita melakukan praktik pemurnian. Semua rasa sakit, baik mental maupun fisik, disebabkan karena karma yang berasal dari [perbuatan] kita. Karena kita yang menciptakan karma, maka akibat dari karma itu juga harus dialami oleh kita. Untungnya karma tidak stagnan, karma dapat dimurnikan, ‘dibalikkan’ atau diubah ketika kita menerapkan cara yang tepat. Karena karma adalah sesuatu yang tidak berwujud bagi kebanyakan mahluk biasa (walaupun kita dapat merasakan dampaknya), maka ia terkadang harus dimurnikan dengan metode yang tak kasat mata. Jika kita mengatasi kesusahan kita hanya dengan cara curhat kepada seseorang, minum, berlibur, tidur atau mencari perawatan medis, mungkin masalah kita tidak sepenuhnya terselesaikan karena penyebab utama masalah tersebut adalah karma. Kita boleh-boleh saja pergi untuk menemui teman yang baik atau pergi ke rumah sakit untuk menjalani perawatan. Namun gejala penderitaan ini akan muncul berulang kali karena karma kita telah berbuah. Yang benar-benar kita butuhkan adalah ‘menyerang’ penyebab sejatinya, yaitu karma, dengan metode pemurnian (misalnya: melafalkan Doa Kanshag, Vajrasattva, melakukan sujud namaskara, retret, Praktik Dorje Namjom, Praktik Manjushri Hitam, Praktik 35 Buddha Pengakuan, mengelilingi stupa atau objek suci, membangun gedung Dharma atau membaca Sutra Hati).

Lebih dari 700 orang hadir pada hari Dorje Shugden merasuk Choji Lah dan memberi kami nasihat sucinya. Klik pada gambar untuk memperbesar.

Bila kita perlu melakukan praktik pemurnian, tidak berarti kita ini pribadi yang buruk, penuh dosa, terkutuk dan layak menderita. Melakukan praktik pemurnian artinya kita perlu menyucikan banyak tindakan yang timbul akibat dari ketidaktahuan kita. Dengan kata lain, kita memurnikan karma yang masih dalam kondisi tidak aktif namun suatu saat dapat menyebabkan kita menderita. Karenanya, menerapkan metode spiritual seperti praktik pemurnian sangat penting, dan jika kita konsisten melakukannya, kita akan melihat perubahan ke arah yang lebih baik sebagaimana dijanjikan Dorje Shugden. Apa yang dikatakan oleh sang Pelindung ini sesungguhnya juga diucapkan oleh Sang Buddha, Guru Agung kita yang maha sempurna. Jadi sudah seharusnya kita yakin akan adanya hukum karma. Karma dapat diubah sehingga situasi kita juga turut berubah; kita bisa meyakini hal ini. Sebuah pohon dikenali dari buahnya. Nasihat Dorje Shugden menunjukkan kepada kita bahwa dia adalah Pelindung yang tercerahkan. Nasihat ini sangat baik dan menunjukkan bahwa nasihat Dorje Shugden selalu sesuai dengan ajaran Sang Buddha. Bekerja untuk Dharma guna memberi manfaat bagi orang lain adalah baik dan tidak ada seorangpun yang bisa mendebat soal ini. Tak peduli seberapa pintar keterampilan debat seseorang, ia tidak akan pernah bisa menandingi kebijaksanaan dan kata-kata kebenaran sang Buddha yang tercerahkan sepenuhnya. Jika Dorje Shugden mengatakan bekerja untuk Dharma itu baik, sudah pasti hal ini benar adanya. Jika Dorje Shugden mengutip ajaran Buddha tentang hukum karma, kita sudah pasti dapat mempercayai beliau, kita mampu untuk mengubah situasi kita, dan kita harus melakukan praktik pemurnian.

Saat berada di Kechara, Choji Lah, – dengan penuh welas asih – melakukan berbagai ritual dan puja sesuai instruksi Dorje Shugden untuk pertumbuhan organisasi Kechara. Kami sangat berterima kasih dan merasa terhormat karenanya. Klik pada gambar untuk memperbesar.

Kita semua pernah berbuat salah serta bertindak dengan didasari ketidaktahuan, kemarahan, kebencian, kecemburuan, dan keserakahan. Itu adalah keadaan pikiran kita saat ini, tetapi keadaan pikiran tersebut sifatnya sementara. Kita tidak menjadi jahat karenanya, karena kualitas negatif kita dapat dihilangkan. Tindakan negatif yang kita lakukan tidak perlu menjadi gambaran diri kita selamanya. Namun tindakan ini akan tersimpan sebagai karma dan karma ini akan berlipat ganda setiap harinya. Jadi kita tidak boleh menyembunyikan tindakan tersebut dan kemudian mengabaikannya karena karma negatif ini seperti bom waktu dan bisa menjadi lebih besar seiring dengan berjalannya waktu kecuali kita memurnikannya, atau tiba saatnya mereka matang dengan sendirinya dan kita harus mengalami akibatnya. Hanya karena tidak ada yang membicarakan perbuatan tercela yang kita lakukan, dan kita juga menyembunyikan hal ini, tidak berarti karma tersebut menghilang atau tidak akan matang. Karma akan berbuah dan matang. Kita mengalami pematangan karma setiap hari, minggu, bulan, tahun. Kita telah mengalami banyak penderitaan dan masalah yang datang bertubi-tubi. Tuhan, alam semesta, kekuatan alam, atau musuh yang kita ciptakan tidak akan dapat menghilangkan masalah kita, dan mereka juga tidak kuasa memberi serta menghukum kita dengan berbagai masalah. Jika sesuatu yang disebut Tuhan atau alam semesta dapat mengambil masalah kita, mengapa mereka tidak melakukannya? Mereka tidak melakukannya sebab mereka tidak bisa tapi kita bisa! Kita bisa melakukannya melalui praktik pemurnian seperti yang diajarkan oleh sang Buddha Yang Maha Sempurna. Kita harus melaksanakan praktik pemurnian seperti yang diajarkan oleh Dorje Shugden. Jika kita melakukannya, banyak keraguan dalam pikiran kita yang akan hilang, Pikiran kita juga lebih jernih sehingga memudahkan kita untuk mengerti ajaran Dharma, lebih mudah bagi kita untuk terlibat dalam kegiatan baik. Kita jadi lebih ikhlas untuk melakukan tindakan yang bermanfaat bagi orang lain. Faktanya ketika kita membersihkan karma negatif dengan praktik pemurnian, melakukan pekerjaan baik akan menjadi lebih mudah. Kita merasa hidup kita lebih ringan dan lebih bahagia.

Kita tidak boleh mengeluh atau menyebarkan desas-desus, atau mempengaruhi orang lain secara negatif mengenai Dharma atau pekerjaan Dharma. Mengapa? Karena apa yang bisa Anda lakukan untuk orang-orang ini, jika anda ‘mengambil’ pekerjaan Dharma mereka? Sebagian besar dari kita sering dirundung kesulitan atau terus-menerus menderita dengan berbagai cara, dan tidak mampu mengatur hidup kita dengan baik. Banyak orang yang tidak benar-benar merasa bahagia. Jadi, ketika anda mempengaruhi orang lain, anda menjauhkan mereka dari penawar ketidakbahagiaan (pekerjaan Dharma). Anda tidak berhak dan tidak perlu memutuskan sesuatu untuk mereka, biarkan mereka memutuskan apakah obat ini baik untuk mereka atau tidak. Jika anda tidak menyukai pekerjaan Dharma atau latihan transformasi pikiran, hal ini disebabkan karma yang anda ciptakan sendiri. Hanya hasil yang akan menentukan apakah karma tersebut baik atau buruk? Pepatah lama mengatakan uang, kekayaan, kekuasaan, kecantikan dan teman tidak bisa membawa kebahagiaan abadi. Jika Anda terus menentang fakta ini, maka anda melawan kebenaran hidup yang diajarkan oleh sang Buddha 2.500 tahun yang lalu seperti yang disampaikan oleh Dorje Shugden kepada kita baru-baru ini.

Panglung Ritroe, kediaman Penubuat Panglung, di Kechara Forest Retreat.

Kechara adalah tempat penyembuhan serta tempat berbagi pengetahuan, harapan, doa, hasil positif, dan latihan berdasarkan silsilah murni yang dilindungi oleh samaya kepada guru dan pelindung Dharma kita. Banyak orang yang telah menemukan arah, harapan, kebijaksanaan, bantuan dan berkah di Kechara. Banyak yang telah menemukan tujuan dan makna hidup di Kechara dan ajaran Dharma. Kami mendapatkan begitu banyak surat dan pesan dari berbagai kalangan tentang bagaimana Kechara telah menyentuh kehidupan mereka. Kami bersyukur akan hal ini dan pada saat yang sama merasa terdorong untuk melangkah lebih jauh lagi. Dorje Shugden berkata, jika kita menerapkan ajaran Dharma, melakukan praktik pemurnian, melakukan pekerjaan Dharma dengan baik, maka kita akan melihat perubahan positif dalam situasi kita. Sang Pelindung juga mengatakan hari ini manusia (kita) dan Dewa (dirinya sendiri) dapat bertemu karena sebab yang sangat baik yang diciptakan oleh keduanya. Kita dapat berbicara bersama dan berbagi Dharma bersama, dan hal ini sungguh sangat baik. Kita bisa bertemu lagi dan lagi di masa depan yang dia janjikan, namun kita harus mampu melakukan pekerjaan Dharma kita tanpa rasa takut. Beliau meminta kita untuk berpikir besar, luas, jauh ke depan dan tidak merasa takut. Kita harus mengembangkan Kechara lebih jauh lagi agar bisa bermanfaat bagi lebih banyak orang. Terus bekerja dengan penuh komitmen. Ini adalah nasihat langsung dari Pelindung Dharma kita. Kita tidak perlu ragu sama sekali dalam menjalaninya. Dorje Shugden berkata – ketika merasuk dari biksu penubuat ternama – bahwa yang paling penting adalah bagi kita untuk menerapkan ajaran Buddha setiap hari, menangani hal-hal yang perlu kita selesaikan dan memiliki perubahan harian bertahap ke arah pemikiran yang lebih positif. Perubahan ini dilaksanakan secara bertahap dan tidak sekaligus. Jangan memaksakan diri, tetapi terapkan ajaran transformasi pikiran dan setiap hari dan rasakan perubahan dalam diri. Ketika kita berubah, dunia kita, pengkondisian kita, pemikiran kita, lingkungan kita dan orang-orang di sekitar kita turut berubah. Dorje Shugden juga menasihati agar kita yakin sepenuhnya dengan sang Buddha dan Dharma. Dengan Dorje Shugden sebagai sekutu, kita tidak perlu takut dan maju tanpa rasa gentar.

Dorje Shugden memberi kita banyak nasihat dan instruksi yang sangat berharga yang saya bagikan di sini. Klik pada gambar untuk memperbesar.

Dorje Shugden meminta Biksu Penubuat (Choji Lah) untuk mengunjungi kami, memberi semangat dan memberkati kami. Kunjungan Penubuat Dorje Shugden, Choji Lah, ke Kechara sama sekali tidak direncanakan oleh kami; beliau dikirim langsung oleh Dorje Shugden. Choji Lah menelepon kami dan mengatakan dia akan berkunjung! Selagi Choji Lah berada di sini, kami dapat bertemu Dorje Shugden secara langsung melalui keadaan rasuk yang otentik dan luar biasa. Dorje Shugden memberi banyak nasihat yang bermanfaat bagi kami. Choji Lah, atas saran Dorje Shugden, juga melakukan banyak puja dan ritual untuk membantu pertumbuhan Kechara. Choji Lah adalah seorang biksu yang sederhana dan sangat ramah, beliau telah menjadi Penubuat Dorje Shugden selama lebih dari 30 tahun. Beliau dilatih dan disertifikasi sebagai penubuat oleh Yang Suci Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche secara pribadi. Kyabje Domo Geshe Rinpoche juga membantu melatih beliau sebagai seorang penubuat. Ayah Choji Lah adalah salah satu penubuat Dorje Shugden yang paling terkenal di Tibet. Bakat sebagai penubuat mengalir dalam garis keluarga mereka. Choji Lah saat ini adalah Penubuat Panglung ke-7. Kami sangat terhormat dengan kunjungan Choji lah. Kami kagum dan berterima kasih atas bimbingan, nasihat, dan cinta dari Dorje Shugden. Saya sangat berhutang budi kepada Choji lah – dan terutama atas nasihat, perlindungan, dan berkah Dorje Shugden – dalam perjalanan spiritual kami menuju ke-Buddha-an.

Catatan Tambahan

18 - Future

Dalam rangka meninjau nasihat di atas, saya ingin menyambut salah satu ibu siswa kami ke Kechara hari ini dan menyambut baik keinginannya untuk berkegiatan sukarela di sini. Ibu ini ada di sini, di Kechara, dan beliau mulai membuka diri untuk menjadi sukarelawan di Kechara. Ia menyumbangkan waktunya untuk memasak bagi sukarelawan lain. Ibu ini tidak terlalu relijius, tetapi ia adalah wanita yang murah hati. Ia ingin tinggal di sini selama beberapa hari untuk memasak bagi para sukarelawan daripada berwisata dan ‘menikmati hidup’. Perjalanan wisata terakhirnya ke luar negeri membuka hati dan pikirannya akan makna hidup – saat itu, dia menyaksikan seseorang dalam kelompoknya tiba-tiba pingsan dan kemudian meninggal saat berlibur. Hal ini meninggalkan kesan yang kuat. Bahkan berlibur pun tidak bisa melindungi dari akhir yang menanti, membuatnya berpikir apa tujuan dari hidup kita yang rapuh ini, di mana bahkan saat berlibur seseorang bisa mati begitu saja tanpa sebab yang jelas… semua uang, momen perjalanan, ‘menikmati hidup’ berakhir begitu saja. Berapa banyak waktu yang telah kita habiskan untuk ‘bersenang-senang’ yang tidak membawa kita ke mana-mana kecuali menjadi percakapan ‘menarik’ untuk menjalin hubungan dengan orang lain? Ketika sang anak bekerja untuk Dharma dan mereka menunjukkan transformasi, ia dapat membuat orang tuanya mengamati dan menyelidiki apa yang membuat anak-anak mereka berubah. Ketika anak-anak, pada awalnya mendapatkan protes dan tidak mendapatkan dukungan dari orang tua karena bekerja untuk Dharma, jika sang anak berubah cukup drastis, orang tua adalah orang pertamalah yang pertama menyadari perubahan ini karena kontak, rasa sayang dan hubungan yang amat dekat. Orang tua mungkin mulai menyelidiki dan bahkan bergabung dengan Dharma, atau setidaknya menghormati apa yang dilakukan sang anak. Dengan cara ini kita membawa Dharma kepada orang tua kita setelah memenangkan pertempuran batin satu demi satu. Hal ini juga berlaku bagi semua kerabat dan teman di sekeliling kita.

Hal yang sama juga berlaku ketika orang tua kita berada dalam Dharma, dan mereka menunjukan perubahan positif. Hal ini akan menginspirasi anak-anaknya untuk mempelajari Dharma lebih jauh. Jadi jika Anda hanya bicara soal Dharma tetapi tidak menerapkannya, maka akan sulit untuk mempengaruhi anak-anak anda karena mereka cerdas dan kecerdasan mereka semakin bertambah saat mereka dewasa. Anak-anak anda dapat membandingkan orang tua mereka di rumah dengan orang dewasa lainnya saat mereka tumbuh. Jadi apa pun alasan dan pembelaan yang kita lontarkan pada anak-anak kita, saat ini ‘mungkin’ cara itu berhasil, tapi tidak demikian adanya ketika mereka semakin dewasa.

8 - Pastor Services

Jika anak-anak kita tetap mendengarkan kita meski mereka telah menjadi orang dewasa, hal itu dikarenakan ketika tumbuh dewasa mereka telah melihat nilai-nilai baik pada orang tua, dan mereka berpegang serta menghormati nilai-nilai yang diajarkan. Bila anak-anak kita tidak menghormati kita, itu bisa jadi merupakan pengaruh buruk dari teman, karma mereka sendiri atau kita tidak mengasuh mereka dengan cara yang positif atau gabungan dari semua hal ini. Sering kali, tetapi tidak selalu, anak-anak kita mencerminkan pola asuh yang mereka terima dan karenanya mencerminkan seperti apa orang tua mereka sebenarnya. Seandainya sebagai orang dewasa kita hanya tertarik pada hal-hal materialistis, perjalanan, makanan, barang-barang bermerek, dan sebagainya, mungkin anak anda juga akan seperti itu setelah dewasa. Semua sifat ini datang dari mengamati orang tua mereka. Anda tumbuh sesuai pengalaman dan kebiasaan anda.

2019-Wesak-1.4.jpg-1024x686

Bila Anda tidak pernah diharuskan bekerja saat tumbuh dewasa tetapi masih diberi banyak mainan, liburan, pakaian bagus, sekolah yang bagus, tagihan yang sudah dibayar, perjalanan wisata, sering makan malam di luar maka mungkin Anda akan tumbuh menginginkan hal yang sama tanpa perlu bekerja sama sekali. Tetapi sebagai orang dewasa Anda akan menderita jika Anda tidak mendapatkan hal-hal yang sama seperti yang biasa Anda dapatkan saat tumbuh dewasa. Saya tidak menyalahkan siapa pun, tetapi ini hanya beberapa pemikiran. Sekecil apapun pengaruh baik yang kita berikan pada anak-anak kita yang sudah dewasa adalah kualitas baik yang mereka amati dalam diri kita saat tumbuh besar. Mereka akan berpegang pada hal tersebut. Terkadang hanya membiayai tempat tinggal, sekolah, makanan, dan perjalanan mereka mungkin tidak cukup untuk membuat mereka menghormati kita setelah dewasa. Kualitas manusiawi dalam diri kita – yang baik hati dan ramah – adalah yang terpenting bagi mereka. Orang tua harus menunjukkan hasil (dari praktik Dharma). Bagi banyak anak, orang tua yang hanya memberi makan dan tempat tinggal saja tidak cukup. Makanan dan rumah adalah sesuatu yang diharapkan dari setiap orang. Ingat – terkadang anak-anak bisa lebih pintar dari orang tua mereka dan begitu juga sebaliknya. Cara terbaik untuk mempengaruhi anak-anak kita cepat atau lambat adalah dengan merubah diri dan menginspirasi mereka. Lagi pula, siapa yang lebih kita cintai, diri sendiri atau anak-anak? Di sinilah ‘ujian’ yang sesungguhnya!

Intinya adalah jika kita secara konsisten menerapkan Dharma dan merubah diri, maka kita mempercayai adanya Dharma dalam tindakan kita. Oleh karena itu Dorje Shugden melindungi kita. Bagaimana? Kita dilindungi oleh pengetahuan dan ketika kita menerapkan kebijaksanaan, kita menghindari lebih banyak penderitaan dan dengan cara menerapkan Dharma, sementara Dorje Shugden melindungi dalam setiap langkah kita.

(Segala sesuatu dalam hidup/samsara yang telah kita ‘yakini’ atau andalkan telah mengecewakan kita dengan satu atau lain cara, termasuk kemarahan, kemalasan, harapan, dan zona nyaman. Kekayaan, nama, barang bermerek, kemewahan semuanya telah memudar dan akan terus memudar. Lagi pula, mereka tidak bisa memberi kita rasa hormat yang kita dambakan. Sekarang PERCAYALAH PADA DORJE SHUGDEN sepenuhnya dengan bekerja untuk orang lain. Merasa sakit untuk orang lain bahkan ketika kita ‘bekerja berlebihan’ tidak apa-apa dan berbahagialah karenanya. Fokuslah pada orang lain. Lakukan ini sampai kita tidak merasa hal itu sulit untuk dilakukan dan diri anda bereaksi spontan. Dari situ kita tahu bahwa kita sedang melangkah maju. Lakukan hal ini setiap hari. Berilah makan pada orang lain, hiburlah orang lain, ringankan pekerjaan mereka, jadilah contoh yang baik, berbicaralah secara logis, miliki integritas dan selalu berikan upaya terbaik kita untuk orang lain. Dari situ Pelindung Dharma akan bersukacita atas pencapaian kita kita dan latihan spiritual kita akan membuahkan hasil. Kebutuhan kita akan terpenuhi, kehidupan kita akan bahagia dan damai. Kita akan memberi tujuan berarti bagi hidup kita dan orang lain. Yakinlah bahwa Dorje Shugden tengah bertindak. Hancurkan zona nyaman. Dia mengatakan pada saya, agar berbuat lebih banyak. Percayalah padanya. Kita bisa melakukan lebih dari ini dan kita akan melakukannya. ~Tsem Rinpoche)

    The begging bowl or alms bowl is one of the simplest but most important objects in the daily lives of Theravada Buddhist monks. The alms bowl still stands as an emblem of how all Buddhas, as numerous as grains of sand in the Ganges, practiced to end their desire. All those who receive the alms bowl should focus their mind to act with self-control and self-respect. Almsgiving is a tradition of Theravada Buddhists, majority in Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Laos. In those early days of Buddhism, monks would take their bowls and go out begging for food. As today in Thailand one could see monks woke up before dawn every morning and carried his bowl through the roads or paths wherever he was staying. Local people would place food in the bowl as a donation, through the generosity of lay people. They accept whatever food is offered for them and eat whatever been given, serve as a blessing for the giver.
    One bowl has held the food of a thousand families. A solitary monastic travels on his journey of a hundred thousand miles seeking liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
    Thank you H.E. Tsem Rinpoche for explaining the meaning of begging and gave us more reasons to be vegetarian . Create a awareness among us not killing animals to be one.

    Ajahn Siripanyo, the son of billionaire Ananda Krishnan, chose to abandon his inheritance and become a Buddhist monk in pursuit of spirituality. A Thai-Malaysian monk born in London and educated in UK. He was ordained in Thailand and lived there, leaving behind a life of immense wealth and privilege. He did surprised many and his choice was unexpected. Initially as a temporary measure, but somehow later evolved into a permanent way of life. Ven. Ajahn Siripanyo is now the Abbot of hermitage Dtao Dam on the Thai-Burmese border in Saiyok National Park, Thailand.
    He was in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia years back giving an enthralling Dhamma talk on the timeless teachings of Ajahn Chah.

    The Tibetan diaspora began in 1959 after the People’s Liberation Army entered the country. Thousands of Tibetan and the Dalai Lama fled into exile to India. The Indian government led by Jawaharlal Nehru kind enough to offer land which was scattered throughout the country. The Tibetans as refugees on which the Tibetans would be able to reestablish themselves. After 60 years of protests, campaigns and fundraising, the Tibetan movement has not been fruitful, increase the living welfare condition and Tibetans continue to depend on the kindness of their host countries. Due to these many Tibetan in exile left India to elsewhere and other countries seeking a better future. In the last 60 years, the Tibetan leadership have not been successful in making progress with their political goals. Surprisingly the Tibetan Spiritual leader Dalai Lama said in an interview published letter that Europe has accepted “too many” refugees . While there is many protests and attempts to pressure Europe to accept more refugees.
    Further more the unethical ban against Shugden making life more difficult for many Dorje Shugden practitioners . Because of the ban against Dorje Shugden the whole Tibetan Buddhist world is divided until now. May all be harmonious soon even recently .Dalai Lama had said we could practice Interesting read. Interesting read.

    The Kalmyks are the only traditionally Buddhist people living within Europe. As Tibetan Buddhists, the Kalmyks regard the Dalai Lama as their spiritual leader. Kalmykia is a historical crossroads on the Silk Road. The Western Mongol Kalmyk tribes. The Kalmyks live primarily in the Republic of Kalmykia, a federal subject of Russia located in the southeast European part of Russia. The Kalmyks are the only inhabitants of Europe whose national religion is Buddhism. They embraced Buddhism in the early part of the 17th century and belong to the Tibetan Buddhist. Like other Mongols, the Kalmyk are very spiritual Tibetan Buddhists, but their Buddhism has a strong admixture of indigenous beliefs and shamanistic practices. Buddhism spread among Mongols during the time of the Mongol Empire. They have come a long way till now, with rich traditions in song, dance, music, arts and a powerful heritage ,strong convictions.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting information of the hidden Kalmykia society.

    Thaipusam is a Tamil Hindu festival celebrated on the first full moon day of the Tamil month. The festival is celebrated to commemorate the victory of Hindu God Murugan over the demon Surapadman. The festival commemorates the triumph of good over evil by many devotees throughout Malaysia. For Hindus, Thaipusam is a day to cleanse oneself of sins and to repent for any transgressions in the past year.Devotees place a great deal of emphasis on the Vel. Silver, gold, lead, copper, and iron which is the five metals. It is said to be able to absorb all negative energy, spread positivity, and destroy all dangerous energies. Wearing yellow during Thaipusam as Lord Murugan’s favourite colour. Well Yellow is also associated with new beginnings, peace and happiness. On that day many devotees will be wearing yellow in color. Devotees will carry heavy ornate structures called kavadis while others have their tongues, cheeks and backs pierced with hooks and skewers. They then walk barefoot up 272 steps to the Batu Caves temple. Women devotees will carry the milk pots on that day. Thousands of locals and tourist from around the world of different faith will be there to witness this auspicious festival.

    Dorje Shugden controversy began when the Dalai Lama made successive attempts to wrongly assert the nature of the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden to be a harmful spirit. The great lineage masters such as Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche and Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche’s teachings are amongst the greatest dharma that forms the foundation of Gelugpa education. As confirmed that Dorje Shugden is an emanation of Manjushri. Dorje Shugden is an enlightened Dharma Protector who manifested about 400 years ago from a lineage of erudite masters. They cant be wrong . Dorje Shugden via the Panglung oracle had helped the Dalai Lama in his great escape out of Tibet. There are so many highly attained lamas who practices Dorje Shugden and their reincarnations have been coming back again and again. Even 5th Dalai Lama composed a prayer to Dorje Shugden and built a Protector chapel dedicated to Dorje Shugden as well. That’s Trode Khangsar in Central Lhasa which is still there. The ban of Dorje Shugden is unnecessary and illogical as the bigger purpose of Dorje Shugden,is the preservation of the Dharma. The Tibetan Leadership (CTA) has instituted this ban against Dorje Shugden for many years and its time to lift the ban. May more people read and understand the ban and the real reason behind this controversy.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for sharing this post.

    Troll is a being in Nordic folklore, described as trolls dwell in isolated areas of rocks, mountains, or caves, live together in small family units, and are rarely helpful to human beings. Trolling behaviors involve tactical aggression to incite emotional responses, which can adversely affect the target’s well-being. Troll represented aspects of life and nature that were beyond human control or understanding. They can be found all over Norway with mysterious rock formations and mountains with troll-like-shapes , sometimes possessing magic powers too. Reading this post had me get to know there’s other forest creatures that existed long ago. An eye opener reading it .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    Dice divination, a fascinating and ancient method of fortune-telling, has been used by various cultures throughout history. Dice hold different meanings and symbolism in various religious traditions, representing chance, fate, and the connection between humans and the divine. Dice are commonly used as divination tools in modern witchcraft and are interpreted to seek insight and guidance from higher powers. Despite all the different rules and approaches, all forms of dice divination are basically the more same.
    In Tibetan Buddhism there are a number of divination methods. Even within dice divination there are many forms, and these are associated with many different deities such as Manjushri, Palden Lhamo and Dorje Shugden. Dorje Shugden divination method is well known to be extremely accurate , very beneficial and effective.
    Our Guru H E Tsem Rinpoche had received the entire transmission and commentary of the Dorje Shugden divination lineage from Dorje Shugden himself. One should maintain very good guru devotion and have clean samaya with our guru with ,have respect for the Dharma and have the deepest faith in the great and powerful enlightened protector Dorje Shugden to do the divination.Tsem Rinpoche has helped thousands of people through his divination methods in Malaysia. Interesting read , more to understand about it.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing with us .

    Visualizing deities while meditating or when we are performing a puja is one of the principal methods used in the Tibetan tradition. Deities are highly symbolic representations of awakened minds that have appeared to past masters in visions. Deities are represented in thangkas and paintings. As more and more people embrace the Tibetan Buddhist path with sincerity and dedication, they understand better and could visualize through the practice. It is not about appeasing a deity, but engaging in formal meditational practices to transform ourselves. The actual practice in Buddhism is to purify karma, accumulate merits by way of Buddha-deity practice, and to create the causes and conditions for spiritual realisations.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for these great teachings.

    Centuries after Buddhism originated in India, the Mahayana Buddhism arrived in China through the Silk Route. The worship of Buddha Amitabha arose from a school of Buddhism. The Origins of Pure Land Buddhism began in India around the 2nd century BCE. It spread to China and then spread to Japan around the 6th century. Buddhism in China was undoubtedly quite different from Buddhism which was originally practiced in India. In China the beginnings of the Pure Land Buddhism are traced back as far as the 4th century, practitioners meditated on the name of Amitabha. The Buddhists believe that this deity helps in regeneration and improvement and has became icons used all over China. In China, the Pure Land sutras and teachings are based on Amitabha Buddha. It then spread and became dominant in other Asian countries as well.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this teachings

    Niguma is considered one of the most important and influential yoginis and Vajrayana teachers of the 10th or 11th century in India. Niguma was a dakini, and one of the two female founders of the Shangpa Kagyu school of Vajrayana Buddhism. She has created. a system of yoga predominantly for women. Historically, it is the only yoga series designed by a woman. Niguma’s life, her teachings had a significant impact on Buddhism. According to scholars, Niguma had high-level realization, attained rainbow body, and even received teachings directly from Vajradhara. It is said that Niguma cultivated the Buddhist path in previous lives, so that in her lifetime she directly saw the truth of the nature of phenomena just by hearing basic phenomena from a few adept masters. Interesting life story of a great Dakini .

    Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo is a bhikṣuṇī in the Drukpa lineage of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. She is an author, teacher and founder of the Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery in Himachal Pradesh, India. Reading this interesting post with the thought of our daily life, how laziness will bring us downhill. It is possible to overcome laziness by setting achievable goals and developing a strong work ethic. Lazy ambition is not an uncommon occurrence . Through not been lazy, it takes sweat, determination and hard work one can be successful. Laziness may reflect a lack of self-esteem, by taking the initiative doing things that matters in life such as learning dharma and practicing dharma is the best option. Letting go all unnecessary secular activities and do more to benefit others will be a better choice. Do what we can, with what we have, where we are and not excuses not to do. Accept whatever comes along, accept reality instead running away from it been lazy.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this profound teachings of Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo.

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
