Question asked by Rafael Ruiz
Dear Rinpoche,
Your new youtube video "Dedication by H.E Tsem Rinpoche" really touched me and brought tears to my eyes. I wish to dedicate my life to spiritual training, I wish to dedicate my life to bringing happiness, peace, love, and wisdom to all those around me. Yet, right now so many obstacles are blocking my way. I know I am not worthy and there are many more worthy practitioners out there, but please send me your blessings so that I may be better able to spread love and wisdom.
Thank you
your student from afar
Dear Rafael,
Obstacles are a manifestion of our previous actions..realizing how actions have effects, commit to actions that always lead you from samsara no matter how hard.
I don’t have power to bless you, but if you take refuge in the Three Jewels, they will NEVER DISAPPOINT YOU. Trust the Three Jewels and do 1,000,000 Setrap mantras with daily black tea combined with Kanshag (Contact Liaison David Lai if you don’t know Kanshag). Just do black tea once a day and absorb the obstacles. When obstacles arise apply the mind of giving and taking. Take everyone else’s obstacles when you ‘suffer’ your’s. Happily take the obstacles of others. Rely on Setrap. Trust the Buddha and apply dharma into your mind until it becomes a part of you naturally and effortlessly.
Much care, Tsem Rinpoche
