Within Dorje Shugden’s incarnation lineage, there are two lesser known incarnations who lived between the time of Panchen Sonam Drakpa and Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen.

Any work done with the teachings of the Buddha alive in our hearts is Dharma work. Some of us share the precious and uniquely challenging opportunity of working or volunteering for a Dharma organization . We must practice with the bodhisattva attitude every day as long as we all try to remember the workings of ego, karma and impermanence .The ultimate goal of Dharma practice is to benefit all sentient beings and lead them to happiness. This aspiration can transform any activity into Dharma work. Copying scriptures, making offerings, giving to the poor, listening to teachings, meditating, and reflecting on the teachings are all considered Dharma activities. Our attitude and intention are crucial for whether our work becomes Dharma work. Even a secular job can become spiritual if we approach it with purpose, and a commitment to benefit others. That’s Dharma work when the work benefits sentient beings and the teachings of Buddha; it depends on the motivation one has and how one does the work. Profound teachings.
Thank you Rinpoche .

Chariots of the Gods is a book written back in 1968 by Erich von Däniken. Erich von Däniken is a Swiss author of several pseudoscientific books which make claims about extra-terrestrial influences on early human culture. Interesting the book is all about those many unsolved mysteries of the past, which was an immediate bestseller in the United States, Germany, and many more countries. His books have been translated into 28 languages, and have sold 60 million copies worldwide. Through his archaeological findings has suggested that in ancient times the earth was visited by extra-terrestrials. Interesting read.
Thank you Rinpoche great sharing.

Revisit this post….A touching song by a Mongolian boy who lost his mother to a fatal illness, and also lost his father shortly thereafter to a car accident . It was in China’s Got Talent contest 2011 , this 12yr-old Mongolian boy performed a touching song sending his thought to his mother at heaven. It had touched the hearts of the judges and audiences. Even though it was a Mongolian folk song which I could not understand but hearing it truly touching.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

Wow what a brilliant way to spread Dharma through having comics pictures. Comics as visual storytelling is a unique art form that combines words and images.Through reading and seeing through those comics books everyone could understand. Its suitable for adults and kids and even the old. These comics depicts the power of Dorje Shugden. A picture is worth a thousand words, but a comic is worth a million. The pictures and words interact in the reader’s mind, resulting in the story. For Kechara coming up with this comic Karuna Finds A Way book, more and more people understand better of Dharma and more so of Dorje Shugden.
Thank you Rinpoche and writers team.

Vietnam is home to a variety of strange, real-life creatures such as Asian Unicorn , snub-nosed monkey , smallest sun bear species in the world, and so on. Vietnam’s animals are a vital part of the country’s biodiversity, comprising unique and endangered species that deserve protection and appreciation. Those animals that exist are one of the most underrated appeals of the country. Back in 1947 ancient tribes-people living in the mysterious forest creatures appeared regularly sighted by farmers. Its was only in 1982 a Professor discovery of a footprint of Nguoi Rung creature an undiscovered species of hominid like the Yeti or Bigfoot. That’s awesome, so Yeti do exist .

Reading this old post tells us more who Kechara Buddhist Pastor Yek Yee is for sure. A hard working lady whom everyone could see for themselves . A disciplined, resilient lady who possesses incredible stamina taking on new challenges when given tasks. Devoted to task, working tireless in effort . She has great and vast knowledge in Buddhism and also very good with Tibetan Buddhist rituals. She indeed has inspired many through the years at Kechara.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this inspiring post and reading what others have said about Pastor Yak Yee.

I was infected with Genital Herpes Virus 10 month ago, ever since then i have been searching for cure everywhere because i was feeling so uncomfortable with it. I have been dating for almost 5 years until i contracted Genital Herpes from my ex-boyfriend. since then I became very sad about the whole situation, always going online checking if i could get a cure to Genital Herpes, then i came across so many testimonies. Due to my seriousness and eagerness to be completely cured, i became a victim of fraud after contacting several so-called herbal doctors i was referred to. I lost a lot of money but i didn’t stop searching for a cure. Then one faithful day, i came across a testimony of a lady saying that she got her Genital herpes cured by a Great Herbal Doctor she called Dr iniboku by contacting him through his email address. And she advised anyone with Genital Herpes or Simplex Herpes to contact the herbal doctor for Herbal Cure. I contemplated for about 4 hours whether or not to contact him. then something inside of me told me ‘Nothing good comes easy’. I then contacted him through his email and told him my problem. He told me all the things I needed to do and also gave me instructions to follow, which I did properly. Just within weeks of drinking and applying the herbal medication he sent to me through DHL delivery service, i started seeing changes, i went to my medical doctor for check-up, i was so happy when the doctor told me i was no more having Genital Herpes Virus, it was all tears of Joy from that moment, People think herpes is really a minor skin irritation herpes has a long term effects on health and if i could ever meet a Genuinely Great Herbal Doctor. I’m so grateful to him. i am completely free from Genital Herpes Virus, i introduced a family friend who have Simplex Herpes virus to him, He called me and told me he was also cure completely. I promised to share my own testimony like that of the lady on the internet. Friends, If you are also struggling with Herpes disease you can as well Contact him via Email: drinibokuspelltemple@gmail.com <drinibokuherbalhome@gmail.com or message him on via whatsApp at +2347059186346 or visit page https://www.facebook.com/driniboku/

Setrap Chen is a wrathful protector deity in Tibetan Buddhism, particularly revered in the Gelugpa tradition. Setrap is believed to be an emanation of Amitabha Buddha and is known for his fierce and powerful appearance. Setrap’s wisdom is unmatched. He sees through the illusion of samsara and knows the best ways to help us .

Mount Emei, built in the 1st century CE, is a 3,099-metre-tall mountain in Sichuan Province, China. It is the highest of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China an area of great cultural significance. That’s where Buddhism first became established on Chinese territory and from where it spread widely through the East . Worth visiting this UNESCO World Heritage Site a scenic mountain area which includes over 70 temples, monasteries, and attractions. Emei Shan said to be inhabited since 10,000 years ago according to historians. Visited this awesome mountain years back, seeing it for myself those ancient Buddhist architecture on Emei shan.

Sasquatch, also known as Bigfoot, is a legendary creature said to inhabit forests, mostly found in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. As described by eye witnesses as a large, hairy, humanoid creature, often reported as being taller than the average human, and covered in dark hair. While many believe in its existence, but there’s no definitive scientific proof. Bigfoot is a figure deeply embedded in the folklore of North America. Despite numerous reports and alleged evidence, there is no conclusive scientific proof of Sasquatch’s existence. Many sightings of these hairy creatures yet no one ever getting close to it . Tibetan high lamas have reported seeing Yetis or bigfoots. Never been doubt these extraordinary creatures do exist as Tibetans, Nepalese, and others believed. Interesting .

One of China’s most capable rulers, Kangxi who laid the foundation for a long period of political stability and prosperity. Emperor Kangxi was the second and longest reigning emperor of China’s Qing Dynasty whom had instrumented in developing China. From ancient times, blessed manifestations have taken place at Wu Tai Shan. Kangxi sponsored many literary works, monasteries, monks and teachers all over China, Tibet and he was considered extremely modern for his day as he also gave religious freedom to all religions. Many emperors considered Wutaishan as a special place, and built many temples. It is associated with Manjushri and is one of the four sacred mountains of China. It is also one of the five Buddhist blessed places on earth. Wutaishan holds a very special place in the more than 1,000 years of Buddhist and Chinese history. Manjushri embodies the perfect wisdom of the universe. China is considered to be the Land of Manjushri where the people are blessed with intelligence. Many of the historical and miraculous stories of Wutaishan are recorded in history. From the Ming Dynasty until modern times, magical manifestations have continued to be reported in Wutaishan. Emperor Kangxi was known to be a great patron of the Buddhadharma and had visited Wu Tai Shan and its Gelug temples a number of times . Great masters believed Emperor Kangxi to be the reincarnation of Tulku Drakpa Gyaltsen and an emanation of Manjushri, which has been confirmed by many others. Interesting read indeed, would love to visit this holy place again.
Thank you Rinpoche and Ani for this great sharing.\\
