(By Tsem Rinpoche) Lord Manjushri was one of the foremost disciples of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni. Although Manjushri was very advanced in his meditations and practices, he still manifested as if he was learning in the presence of Lord Buddha. There are many teachings that arose as a result of Manjushri’s questions to Lord Buddha....

(By Tsem Rinpoche) What really matters at the precise moment? When is it your turn? Any day now most likely. None of what you believed, said, thought, eaten, travelled, learned, family, acquired, partner, kids, parents, likes, dislikes, games, humour, travels, anger or ego will help you at this precise moment. This moment is very...

（译文请往下看） Dear friends around the world, On November 24, 2018, a grand Dorje Shugden puja was conducted at Malacca’s Dorje Shugden Chapel to commemorate the chapel’s 3rd anniversary. Three years ago, some of my devoted students heard that I had the wish of having a chapel to Dorje Shugden in Malacca. I have visited Malacca many times and some of my oldest students live there. They made my wish come true on October 10, 2015. These students, wanting others to benefit from the practice of Dorje Shugden just like they had, found the place, had it re...

Dear friends, One of the ways the Buddhas and enlightened beings help us is by giving us prophecies and divinations.

Recently, one of my students drew my attention to a letter written by a Karma Kagyu Lama, His Eminence Lodreu Rabsel Rinpoche. It was addressed to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the letter is honest, straight forward, eloquent, accusational, shocking and as if they have reached their wits end. It touches on a...

(By Tsem Rinpoche) Since I was very young, I had a yearning to live in the mountains in a hut or a large cave protected from the elements. Within this dwelling I would have a fantastic large statue of a Buddha/VajraYogini on my shrine with butterlamps offered to them and continuously burning. This place...

(By Tsem Rinpoche) Over the decades, you have had various teachers and various individuals and practitioners who really promote, complement, and establish and, at the same time, kind of ‘market’ their particular practice, yidam, lineage, protector, guru, monastery, and meditations. When someone promotes their meditations, or their lineage, or their practice, or whatever they...
