Choose your guru always

(By Tsem Rinpoche)

Always choose your guru over everyone else

I took this picture of His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche in Thubten Dhargye Ling in Los Angeles. Zong Rinpoche was very affectionate to me and had the strongest impact in my mind, practice and life. I felt connected with him and could not believe I was in the presence of living Buddha when I first met him. I could not believe I can take teachings/initiations/vows from Him. My faith in Him till now even 30 years later is just as strong if not stronger and my devotion to Him is constant. I have full faith and love in this root guru of mine. I miss Him everyday of my life. I will never forsake him to listen to all the samsara in my mind no matter what inner and outer turmoil I go through. I will keep my samaya with Him always and keep His lineage in my mind and surroundings for the rest of my life. I will be loyal to Him and no ‘friends’ or detractors will sway my thoughts about my guru ever nor will I ever abandon Him. My ‘friends’ with good or bad intentions only have ignorance and more indulgences in samara to sway me to leading to more problems. My guru leads me to Nirvana, peace and light. It may be difficult at first, but worth it. I will always choose my guru over the Mara like beings who speak from karma and ignorance. No matter what others may say, do or insinuate, I will keep my guru samaya pure with His Holiness the Illustrious Kyabje Zong Rinpoche who is no other than Buddha Heruka to me. Tsem Rinpoche

We can be near a lama, learn from the lama, hang out with the lama and even ‘serve’ the lama, but without focus and devotion our mind and practice will not improve. It might even degenerate where we have wrong views always and the wrong views take over. Devotion is important as it generates merit to overcome our negative habituations and thinking. Always meditate and focus on the lama’s good qualities daily and keep the neurosis in check by not entertaining it. Remember and share all the kindnesses the lama has given to you and let others know. When you share and remember, it keeps our mind in a mode of appreciation. If we want, we can even have negative views of Lord Buddha Himself due to our lack of contemplations. So it’s not the lama, but our mind.

~Tsem Rinpoche

I was 18 years old when this was taken back in 1983 in Los Angeles, California. Here I am in this photo with my most precious root guru, His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche. He has profoundly changed my life for the better forever. Not a day goes by I don’t think about him, love him, miss him and yearn for his presence and teachings.

I meditate on him in my heart every single day. He was everything that a high Tibetan lama is said to be and more. From the moment I heard his name before meeting him from a friend who had met him already, faith instantly arose in me. Instantly faith arose in me. I did 100 prostrations to his picture everyday until I met him. I wanted to make a spiritual karmic connection with him so that when I met him, I can receive many teachings and that is why I made the prostrations.

No other spiritual teacher although all of them were great has this sort of meteoric impact on me. It’s unexplainable. 30 plus years down the line, my faith, respect and trust in Kyabje Zong Rinpoche is unshakable. I will always follow and practice what he has taught me and given me. I will never abandon my teacher or any practice he has given me no matter what obstacles come my way.

No matter if my life is threatened, or I am disliked or segregated for following his instructions, I will never abandon any of his teachings. No other teacher will ever have me change my practice I have received from Kyabje Zong Rinpoche. May I meet Kyabje Zong Rinpoche in all my future lives too and come under his care. I forever bow to him and place the crown of my unworthy head to his feet. I will follow, meditate, trust and believe in my guru always.

Humbly,
Tsem Rinpoche

 
这是我与我的至宝根本上师,至尊嘉杰宋仁波切于1983年在加利福尼亚洛杉矶拍下的合照。当年我18岁。他深刻地改变了我的生命,永恒地使我的生命变得更美好。没有那么一天,我不想起他,不珍爱他,不思念他,或是不切盼他的出现与教诲。

每一天,我都在心中忆念嘉杰宋仁波切。他拥有人们眼中一个西藏高僧该具备的一切条件,甚至拥有更多。我从一个曾拜见嘉杰宋仁波切的朋友口中听见宋仁波切的殊胜名字,自那一刻起,我虽未见过仁波切一面,但信心即刻油然而生。在见到仁波切之前的每一天,我都向着他的法照顶礼一百遍,我想跟他结下法缘,那么等到见到他的时候,我能接受到大量的教诲。这是我每日顶礼的原因。

其他所有上师固然殊胜,但没有一个像嘉杰宋仁波切那样对我造成犹如陨星撞击般的影响。这种感受无从解释。我对嘉杰宋仁波切的信心、敬重和信任,三十余载从未动摇。他教过我的,给过我的,我都会一直跟从并且实修。

我永远不会背弃我的上师,或是背弃他赐予我的任何修行,不管我眼前出现什么阻难。即使我因为遵从他的指示而面对生命威胁,或遭受厌弃或排挤,我仍然不会背弃他的任何一个教诲。没有任何一位上师能够动摇嘉杰宋仁波切赐予我的修行。祈愿我生生世世都能遇见嘉杰宋仁波切并得到他的引导。我永世顶礼于嘉杰宋仁波切足下。我将永远遵从上师的教诲,忆念他,信任他,相信他。

    Be loyal to your guru. Be close to your guru. Be honest with your guru. Never give your guru excuses but always accomplish your assignments that your guru has given you. Be loving, devoted and sincere with your guru. If you conduct yourself in this way, you will see positive transformations in your mind. ~ Tsem Rinpoche

    Beautiful picture of His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche. It is amazing I was able to meet him and learn from him. It was such an amazing opportunity. Tsem Rinpoche

    In our spiritual path there is always a Guru to guide us and lead us to enlightenment. If there is no Guru then there is no Dharma. We have a chance to learn and practice Dharma is all because of our Guru Rinpoche’s compassion and kindness . Rinpoche is very devoted to his root Guru, Kyabje Zong Rinpoche . Its very important to choose a Guru knowing the lineage of the Guru and so as Guru devotion. I am fortunate to have met Rinpoche through Kechara and I have still a lot more to learn and practice Dharma.
    Thank you Rinpoche for these profound teaching.

  5. yin ping on Oct 31, 2017 at 1:07 am

    The guru is the Buddha. Our guru is living proof of this. Always contemplate on the guru’s good qualities because this is a way to develop these qualities ourselves. Have full confidence towards our Guru for he will guide us along the path to enlightenment. The guru devotion is the root of all attainments.

    Lama Yeshe was a very devoted student of His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche. Lama Yeshe very much loved and respected Kyabje Zong Rinpoche and was the first lama to invite Kyabje Zong Rinpoche to the west. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche gave vast amount of empowerments, oral transmissions, teachings and sogtae of Dorje Shugden to many of Lama Yeshe’s senior students. Towards the end of Lama Yeshe’s fruitful life, he was in the hospital and physically shutting down. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was giving teachings in Switzerland and was requested to fly in which Kyabje Zong Rinpoche most graciously did. Here in this picture is Kyabje Zong Rinpoche doing special prayers for his student Lama Yeshe. Lama Yeshe was already partially paralyzed, but true to a meditation master, his mind was extremely clear and bright. You can see Lama Yeshe leaning towards Kyabje Zong Rinpoche in deep respect and devotion. Lama Yeshe practiced all the lineages, yidams, protectors such as Dorje Shugden given to him till the end of his life. He never gave up on any of his practices as he has great devotion to Kyabje Zong Rinpoche and his other lamas. Lama Yeshe’s samaya with Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was so pure, intact and perfect till the end. A great inspiration.~Tsem Rinpoche

    耶喜喇嘛是至尊嘉杰宋仁波切的忠诚弟子。耶喜喇嘛十分敬爱嘉杰宋仁波切,他是第一位把宋仁波切邀请到西方弘法的上师。嘉杰宋仁波切曾为耶喜喇嘛的许多资深弟子传授灌顶、口传、教诲和多杰雄登托命灌顶。在耶喜喇嘛即将走完丰富人生旅程之际,他躺在医院病床上,身体已经逐渐衰败。当时正在瑞士弘法的嘉杰宋仁波切被邀请前去探望他,宋仁波切欣然答应了。这张照片显示嘉杰宋仁波切正为弟子耶喜喇嘛进行特殊的法会。耶喜喇嘛那时已经处于半瘫痪状态,但作为一位禅修大师,他的心识却极度清醒。在这张照片中,可见耶喜喇嘛以无限的敬意和依止心,把身体倾向宋仁波切。耶喜喇嘛终其一生都修持上师所传授的传承、本尊、护法修持如多杰雄登法门等。他从不放弃任何上师所传授的教法,因为他对嘉杰宋仁波切和其他上师均拥有极大的依止心。耶喜喇嘛由始至终都对嘉杰宋仁波切保持清净、完整和完美的三昧耶。这真是一个启发人心的典范。~詹杜固仁波切

    这是我与我的至宝根本上师,至尊嘉杰宋仁波切于1983年在加利福尼亚洛杉矶拍下的合照。当年我18岁。他深刻地改变了我的生命,永恒地使我的生命变得更美好。没有那么一天,我不想起他,不珍爱他,不思念他,或是不切盼他的出现与教诲。每一天,我都在心中忆念嘉杰宋仁波切。他拥有人们眼中一个西藏高僧该具备的一切条件,甚至拥有更多。我从一个曾拜见嘉杰宋仁波切的朋友口中听见宋仁波切的殊胜名字,自那一刻起,我虽未见过仁波切一面,但信心即刻油然而生。在见到仁波切之前的每一天,我都向着他的法照顶礼一百遍,我想跟他结下法缘,那么等到见到他的时候,我能接受到大量的教诲。这是我每日顶礼的原因。其他所有上师固然殊胜,但没有一个像嘉杰宋仁波切那样对我造成犹如陨星撞击般的影响。这种感受无从解释。我对嘉杰宋仁波切的信心、敬重和信任,三十余载从未动摇。他教过我的,给过我的,我都会一直跟从并且实修。我永远不会背弃我的上师,或是背弃他赐予我的任何修行,不管我眼前出现什么阻难。即使我因为遵从他的指示而面对生命威胁,或遭受厌弃或排挤,我仍然不会背弃他的任何一个教诲。没有任何一位上师能够动摇嘉杰宋仁波切赐予我的修行。祈愿我生生世世都能遇见嘉杰宋仁波切并得到他的引导。我永世顶礼于嘉杰宋仁波切足下。我将永远遵从上师的教诲,忆念他,信任他,相信他。

    Someone came to my house and saw Lama Tsongkhapa statue and Rinpoche’s photo on the altar. I was advised not to believe and devote myself 100% to a Lama. He shared with me of how some of his friends are so into it and not their normal self. His sharing somehow made me think and rethink.

    I am glad and blessed that I did not sway by this remark made by that person at that time.

    I have come to realise that people who do not understand the importance of Guru devotion will have negative views on our actions despite how we explain. It is best to leave it and keep our full faith and trust in Guru.

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this and being here with us, teaching and guiding us always. Thank you with folded hands _/\_

    After reading about this post, first thing that strike my mind was “My ‘friends’ with good or bad intentions only have ignorance and more indulgences in samara to sway me to leading to more problems. My guru leads me to Nirvana, peace and light.”.

    I must confess that I was once confused and felt lost after listening to all the negative comments from my friend, and developed wrong views about my Guru, about Kechara. I felt like I was standing in front of a cross road, deciding to go forward or to stop.

    Finally I decided to bring this up and discuss it with Pastor HanNee and my fellow Dharma classmates.
    Then my doubts slowly cleared as I started contemplating on things/activities going on in Kechara, vs the negative comments.

    I started to realize, everything Guru does, it is there for a reason. It’s only for a good cause to benefit us, to eventually bring us to enlightenment. Thus, we must put in our full faith and trust in him, as our Guru is a Living Buddha.

    Thank you Rinpoche

      Thank you Leng Miang. I am glad that your doubts and confusion have melted away after our blogpost discussion and your own further contemplation.

    No Guru , No Dharma. Guru is a saint person that convey Buddha’s teachings into easy way in order for us to learn and practice. Guru devotion is a vital element for practitioners in order to keep a clean Samaya with their own Guru. A clean Samaya will enable practitioners to receive and understand Dharma quickly. Rinpoche is very devoted to his root Guru, Kyabje Zong Rinpoche. This is a very good example to many Vajrayana Buddhism practitioners.
    Thanks Rinpoche.

    I always have the perception to choose friend but not Guru. By the way, this article was discussed by Pastor Han Nee last week after Dharma class and it really caught my attention as she spent her times to tell us many stories.

    She emphasized, its very important to choose right Guru. Guru will be the one lead us to Enlightenment. In order to walk us through this path, we really need to have the devotion to our Guru. Think about his good qualities and practice on it.

    Thank you so much for the effort Rinpoche, Pastor Han Nee and everyone

  16. Tek Lee on Jul 27, 2017 at 1:23 am

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this article. Yes, Guru plays a very important role in our spiritual path. Guru is the one that connect us to the Buddha and Dharma. Guru is the one that protect us from our obstacle not only in our spiritual path, but in our daily life also. And, Guru is the one that guide us and lead us to enlightenment. One cannot practice Dharma without Guru. Thus, Guru devotion is very important.
    In Tibetan Buddhism, Guru devotion is essential, it is the root of the genuine lineage that never break. With our Guru, we can trace all the way back to Lama Tsongkhapa and Buddha Shakyamuni. I am very happy to be part of Kechara, I can be a student of Rinpoche, so that I have the chance to study and practice Dharma in this life. Thank you Rinpoche for your guidance, for your love, for being my Guru, for everything _/\_

  17. Lum Kok Luen on Jul 26, 2017 at 4:49 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,

    Without the Guru, there is no Dharma, without the Dharma, there is no Sangha and without the Sangha, there is no Buddha. No Guru, no Buddha, no Dharma and no Sangha. Everything that leads ignorant people like me hinges on the Guru.

    Devotion is important as it generates merit to overcome our negative habituations and thinking. Always meditate and focus on the lama’s good qualities daily and keep the neurosis in check by not entertaining it.

    In short, we must have our Guru 24/7.

    I will always keep you in my mind 24/7 as this is the ONLY WAY out of samsara.

    Humbly yours,
    Lum Kok Luen

  18. Vivian Ong on Jul 23, 2017 at 9:21 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this article. Yes, we do have to choose our Guru always as Guru is the one who can lead us to enlightenment. We cannot just say we do not need a Guru and we can study the Dharma ourselves. When we have a Guru, the Guru will teaches and advices us what to do and what not to do. When we have a Guru, the Guru will also protect us from harm. That is why guru devotion is so important so that there will always be a Guru disciple bond. I thank my Guru so much that I was able to meet and learn the Dharma. It changes the way I see and think about things. In the process, I also learn to be more mindful about things although sometimes still make mistakes.

    With folded palms,
    Vivian

  19. Lim Han Nee on Jul 14, 2017 at 10:00 pm

    As I review this most powerful post, there are two aspects I find important to highlight-why we should always choose our Guru and how we can keep our thoughts focussed on Guru Devotion.

    I will always choose my Guru over everyone else because he is the only one I can rely on to lead me unerringly to Peace and Enlightenment.

    The way to keep my thoughts focused on DEVOTION TO MY GURU.
    1) Always view him as the living Buddha that he is.
    2)Focus and meditate on his good qualities daily and keep my neurosis in check.
    3)Remember and share all the kindnesses my Guru has given to me and let others know.This will keep my mind always in a mode of appreciation.
    4)Always remember this: My guru leads me to Nirvana, peace and light, whereas my friends in samsara , with good or bad intentions, only have ignorance and more indulgences in samsara to sway me to, leading me to more problems.

    Thank you Rinpoche for this post that gives much room for reflection and meditation on the most important relationship of our lives.

  20. Lin Mun on Jan 17, 2017 at 8:31 pm

    If it is not Guru’s compassion and kindness we would not have the chance to learn and practise dharma in Kechara. Guru is very important because he is a person who will guide and lead us to enlightenment. He choose to be with us so we can transform our mind. Hence we must always appreciate our Guru and change our mind to be better.

  21. Marek on Jan 6, 2017 at 12:30 am

    have to be careful to choose the right guru – there must be just as many bad/fake ones as good/genuine ones – BE CAREFUL!
    In any case, even with a bad/fake guru – you might just learn something – who knows?

  22. Wylfred Ng on Oct 23, 2016 at 12:23 am

    谢谢仁波切的分享。

    仁波切一直苦口婆心向弟子们说上师依止的重要性, 仁波切其实是完完全全的做到了这一点。 詹杜固仁波切的根本上师就是至尊宋仁波切。 虽然仁波切与根本上师只是相处了短短的六个月时间, 不过这也是影响仁波切最深切的六个月。

    在这个六个月中仁波切侍奉上师、得到教诲,与上师一起到市集购物等等。 当然仁波切也是从宋仁波切那里得到日后造成非常大争议的多杰雄登法门。
    虽然多杰雄登法门禁令造成仁波切非常多生活及传法上的困难, 不过仁波切还是一样守护着这个由根本上师给予的法门。

    克切拉今天可以发展到这个规模也是因为仁波切对根本上师的依止。 上师五十颂也提到我们所有修佛上的成就都是来自于对于上师的依止。 仁波切也身体力行的向我们证明了这一点。

    谢谢

  23. Pastor Elena Khong Jean Ai on Jan 6, 2016 at 7:07 am

    There is no doubt that Rinpoche is right in saying it is not the lama, but our mind.

    How is it not the lama? If it is the lama, then EVERYONE who comes in contact with the lama will never improve because there’s nothing from/about the lama that will nurture improvement in the people he interacts with. BUT if other people around the lama are improving but we ourselves are not, then it is not the lama. It means the responsibility for our lack of improvement lies with us. It doesn’t make us bad; it just means we haven’t been doing what we need to do, in order to gain the greatest benefit from our time with our teachers.

    As Rinpoche says, Rinpoche’s guru devotion in Zong Rinpoche has been a source of strength for the last 30 years and if we emulate Rinpoche’s example, we will experience the same benefits. I was thinking about this the other day because something happened that disturbed me. The more I thought about it, the more my mind spiralled. The only time I wasn’t disturbed by the incident was when I was busy working, and my mind was occupied with thinking about something else.

    That’s when I realised, things hurt less when we think of ourselves less. When we let go of ‘me’, and we stop thinking of everything in relations to ourselves, the pain immediately lessens because there’s no sense of you to be hurt. I guess that’s why meditating on emptiness is so important; if there is no inherent you, then there’s no inherent you to hurt and to be disturbed.

    All of us will have our ups and downs, or our good and bad days but if we focus out and use our teachers as a focal point, it makes it much easier to weather the storms. We spend less time consumed by our negative thoughts, which allows us to expend energy and focus towards other things, for example completing our assignments well and on time. Having a guru as a focal point trains us to think out and about someone else always, and the more we focus out, the more result-oriented we become and logically, the more results we have.

  24. Julia Tan on Sep 20, 2014 at 10:33 am

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this teaching. People always think only in Tibetan Buddhism’s students crazily follow their guru’s instructions, which is not true. A guru is someone we invoked or chose to follow His path and teachings so that we can achieve what the he has achieved. We need to trust our guru in order to learn and practice what he taught us. If we easily doubt our guru, even though we are near our guru and have been following his teachings for the longest time we will not gain any improvement, need not talk about attainment because we never listen to his instructions (instructions = teachings) nor carrying it out due to the broken relationship and blessings from our guru. Just like someone gave you a rough diamond, if you do not cut and polish it by following the way that has taught by an experienced diamond cutter, the diamond will remain as a rock. This is how i understand.

    “Devotion is important as it generates merit to overcome our negative habituations and thinking.”

    “Always meditate and focus on the lama’s good qualities daily and keep the neurosis in check by not entertaining it.”

    “Remember and share all the kindnesses the lama has given to you and let others know. When you share and remember, it keeps our mind in a mode of appreciation.”

    Thank you Rinpoche for the above very useful teachings that given to us on how to keep ourselves in the right track.

    Thank you Rinpoche.

    Only the Guru can lead us to Nirvana,peace and light.When we have realization of Guru Devotion,nothing will disturb us,no matter what appears to us,it won’t effect our mind;it won’t effect our devotion.
    Our mind transform into the devotion that sees the Guru as a Buddha.
    Seeing the Guru as Buddha stops wrong views and mistakes in our practice.Without Guru Devotion ,the thoughts of faults arises and blocks the development of the mind.Guru Devotion is the root of the path to Enlightenment and through this devotion,may we receive Guru’s blessings in our hearts.
    May I never be separated from my Guru in this lifetime and future lifetimes. Thank you Rinpoche for this beautiful teaching.

    Guru is vital for our spiritual journey, we can read the Dharma books, but Guru trains our mind and points out our mistake skilfully. Guru constantly cares for us. I hope I can develop pure samaya with my Guru, so that I overcome my negative habituation, able to learn, transform, develops all the good qualities and benefit others this life and in future lives

  31. Hee Thye Sang on Jul 17, 2014 at 9:37 pm

  32. Steven Koh Wing Gok on Jun 30, 2014 at 1:53 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,
    l totally agreed with you that we must choose our guru, but guru also choose us.
    l just keep the flow and practice kindness and talk less.
    Continue, reading Liberation in the Palm of your hand.
    Keep my mind clam, positive thinking.

  33. Su Lin on Jun 23, 2014 at 3:16 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,
    This article is a well written article about choosing your guru properly. It explains quite a lot and gives good information. Why? Because, it tells you what you have to do to stay connected to your guru (Guru devotion). It is basically telling you what you should do and the ways you can get to Nirvana by the path of your guru.

  34. Jacinta Goh on Jun 12, 2014 at 12:42 am

    In the blogchat today, this topic was chosen for discussion. Long before that, I was contemplating on this matter as well. In Buddhism, or may I say in Tibetan Buddhism, Guru Devotion is the most important aspect alongside with pure motivation. Just now, a regular attendee in the blogchat by the name of M*** raised up a question that I must admit, a little hard for me (but I really did have this question for myself too for quite sometime);Will I be willing to give up my children for a monastic life if being asked by my Guru? From my point of view, how can I say I have Guru Devotion when I need some ‘time’ to think about this or even to have the slightest doubt about it? I do have the intention, to say the least, but alongside with that, I also need to check my motivation behind it. If (from my opinion) we did the meditation on Death, we shouldn’t have problem at all. The preciousness of life doesn’t come from mouth, but by action. If anyone out there do have firm answer for this, I am more than happy to hear that. But right now for me, I do need a lot of improvement on this.

  35. Penang Study Group Comment on Jun 9, 2014 at 12:17 am

    For this week blog retreat, this article was chosen for discussion. All the members of the group unanimously agreed that we should follow our Guru ( advices, teachings, instructions or etc) at all cost. Our Guru is the only person that can guide us on the path to Enlightenment. Others (with the exception of virtuous friends such as Pastors ) will leads us to more wordly indulgences. With this opportunity, we also shared about the proper Guru Devotion such as practising Guru Devotion with the Nine Attitudes, abandonment of ten non virtues and maintaining the Samaya such as keeping promises. Some of the members also shared the kindnesses of Rinpoche that they remembered. Through this sharing, may all of our members will always remember the kindnesses of Rinpoche, be diligent in our practices and will choose our Guru always no matter how many hardships we have to endure. Thank you Rinpoche for this sincere sharing.

    Attendees: Siaw Ching, Swee Ching, Kai Lynn, Soon Huat, Linny, Chin Seong, Natsumi and Jacinta.

    My mind has been through so much conditioning over the years and different lifetimes. There is so much to unlearn and relearn.It is a tough journey to get rid of all the negative habituations, especially the super dominant character “I”. I am indeed very fortunate to have met a Guru, so wise and kind who tirelessly teach to help me move on my path. I will take this advise, to always focus on the good qualities of my Guru and keep my neurosis in check. That is the very least I can do to return the kindness of my Guru. Thank you dear Rinpoche.

  37. So Kin Hoe (Ipoh) on May 29, 2014 at 10:44 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing all the valuable teachings and experiences. I am fortunate in Malaysia to have received all teachings and advice about Guru Devotion. We should not have a single doubt about our Guru as He will only benefit us and bring us out of samsara. May all sentient beings can stay near to their Gurus and serve their Gurus in many future lifetimes.

  38. Ron Wong on May 23, 2014 at 4:46 pm

    Devoting to a guru is a way to liberate one self from all suffering & to reach the goal of ultimate happiness. It is about following the guru’s instruction sincerely, applying the dharma & modifying our behavior to be less self concerned but more for others.

    Nothing pleases the guru more than a student who has transformed their mind. After all the “job scope” of a real guru is to free us from all suffering.

    Thank you Rinpoche for your kindness & care. I wish you good health & long life.

  39. Shelly tai on May 22, 2014 at 4:19 pm

    Dear Rinpoche thank you for reminding us again about the important of guru devotion. I remember when I first join Kechara I do not even know what is so significant about Rinpoche but when I first time see Rinpoche after listen to his teaching I feel this person is full of wisdom and wherever thing he said us make sense I know I have find a right person to take refuge. I have to said something if we give up our guru means we give up our happiness and we give up the holy Dharma.

  40. Uncle Eddie on May 22, 2014 at 3:30 pm

    It has been said that if we students do not have the correct wisdom, we will always see the good qualities of our Guru as faults! Students must always have a deep sense of respect and devotion towards their Guru, as a source of teachings and guidance towards our quest to overcome delusions, negative karma and their ensuing suffering. The guru’s expert advice helps us to avoid the pitfalls of wrong practice, and He is the bridge between the traditional teachings of Lord Buddha Shakyamuni and their practical application in our daily lives. Our guru is the Buddha’s manifestation in our lives, showing us the Dharma and we should train our mind to relate to him with deepest respect and devotion we would have for Buddha Shakyamuni himself! Like what Rinpoche has said,”Devotion is important as it generates merit to overcome our negative habituations and thinking”. As also mentioned, “we must always focus on the Lama’s good qualities daily, and keep the neurosis of our mind in check by not entertaining it!” The purpose of contemplating these examples is to train our mind so as to be able to gain the maximun benefit and blessing for a good establishment of close relationship with our guru to serve the benefits of all living beings! OM MANI PADME HUNG!

  41. Edwin Tan on May 18, 2014 at 1:40 am

    Dear Rinpoche,

    Thank you for the wonderful teaching. I will definitely always think and remember of the kindness and compassion Rinpoche shown to me. You always keep me in your thoughts, even though I am always stuck in my samsaric ways and attachments; protect me from harm through subtle methods, and constantly “force” me to improve.

    I sincerely apologise for all the times my mind swayed when I doubted Rinpoche’s methods of training and taming my mind.

    Rinpoche never gave up on me. Thank you for all the wonderful lessons to improve myself.

    Thank you.

    • Choongs on May 22, 2014 at 12:18 pm

      Edwin, you took the words out of my mouth. I share the same feelings.

  42. Grace Leu(KHJB) on May 17, 2014 at 11:28 pm

    Thanks for Rinpoche’s sharing.Guru is our guideline, however how much we appreciate our Guru’s effort and follow our Guru’s instructions ? We need to tame our mind, as per Rinpoche mention in the blog, be focus and devotion, daily contemplate our Guru’s kindness and keep clean Guru same ya.

  43. Pastor Han Nee on May 16, 2014 at 9:46 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche, for this profound post, which should be reflected on deeply. If I want peace and Enlightenment, I should choose my Guru always. I should not be distracted, even for a moment,by friends, who will lead me deeper and deeper into Samsara. No matter what my friends say , they are governed by ignorance, delusions and by their karma. It is only my Guru, with his sincerity, pure view and compassion, on whom I can rely.

  44. Boon on May 15, 2014 at 10:59 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for the sharing.Due to our ignorance, to maintain a good relationship with our guru it is not an easy task, but if we have the right motivation definitely we can have a clean samaya with our guru. All our dharma practice, knowledge are from our guru. Without the guru, we will far away from enlightenment. Thus, it is important for us to maintain a clean samaya with our guru.

  45. Soon Huat (Penang) on May 15, 2014 at 10:22 pm

    Thank You Rinpoche for sharing your teaching of Guru Devotion to us. You always lead us by example or walk the talk.

    Student needs to follow the root Guru fully without even single doubt as Guru can see the full range of existence but student can not. That is why Guru Devotion is super important in Gelug lineage.

    From now onward, I will follow your teaching without even a single doubt and share your teaching with as many people as possible in Penang or Malaysia. I am glad I am in Kechara, a big Dharma family. All the Dharma seniors, sisters and brothers always give me the encouragement and guidance in the Dharma path so that I will not be able to lost in this samsara.

    I know I still have imperfection. Please give me sometimes to correct it with your teaching.

    Hope one day, I will be able to meet you, my root Guru.

    Thanks Rinpoche for sharing about your Guru.

    I am so fortunate to be able to learn Dharma from Rinpoche in this life. I wish that Rinpoche will be meeting with Zong Rinpoche for the every future life time, and turn the Dharma Wheel together.

    There is nothing more precious that meeting with our Root Guru in every life time.

  48. Cathy on May 13, 2014 at 11:05 pm

    Many people in Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong have cheated for a long time DATUK YIP KUM FOOK has been deceiving people, from starting a furniture business in Taman Daya to becoming the chairperson of the MCA there, but the Malaysian government has not known of the matter.

    Today he is very rich having many houses and shop lots all over Kepong but the government is still silent, now he has a court case, he is a lawyer and he made or signed a fake land title to someone.

    Anyone who knows DATUK YIP KUM FOOK AND SIMON LOW KOK MENG, please try to stay away from them because those people can eat you all, the first one they do very well with you but behind their back they will eat you, please be careful before getting caught up in that

    A Chinese ghost marriage is a ceremony that unites a deceased person with a living or deceased person. The family of the deceased usually arranges the marriage. Despite its long history and unique practices, the original purposes of ghost marriages remain largely unknown. The ghost is a classical image in Chinese culture, have a history stretching back 3,000 years. This tradition dates back to the first Chinese dynasty, making it at least 2200 years old, while others even note that it’s roughly 3000 years old! Despite reports of it still being practiced in remote Chinese villages in China,Taiwan and certain Asian countries . Ghost marriages are acceptable and symbolic in especially in Taiwanese culture, with many social elements related to them. Interestingly enough Li Kim and team did a great research ,spoke to Professor Lin Mao-Hsien, a Taiwanese folklore scholar on these interesting tradition. Reading this article with a better understanding of the ghost marriages. The story of the man by the name Wu Wen-Da, who had been dreaming about a dead woman named Zheng Su Mei truly interesting.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Li Kim .

    Interesting account of the investigation of Supiyati an Indonesian woman’s body filled with needles, nails, and wires.
    After many efforts to find a cure in their hometown never found any success, Dark Magic is an incredibly powerful form of witchcraft that draws on malevolent powers.Black magic is a belief system that is not supported by scientific evidence. However, psychologists and neuroscientists have studied magic to understand how it affects people’s perceptions and beliefs. Regardless of the path forward, the study and understanding of black magic will undoubtedly remain a subject of enduring fascination and scholarly inquiry.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    The basis of the Buddha’s teaching is to be found in the Four Noble Truths. The Buddha teachings describe the nature of suffering and the path to its end. Suffering is unavoidable and affects everyone. Craving and ignorance lead to suffering. Whatever we do have consequences, so living in a way that minimizes harm can prevent future pain. Good to cultivate good qualities and abandoning non-virtuous thoughts and actions. Abandoning dishonest livelihood and living a life of right livelihood. Being kind and compassionate towards oneself and others. The Fourth Noble Truth is the truth of the Path that leads to the cessation of suffering.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Genla for this profound teachings.

    Dorje Shugden is a protector in Tibetan Buddhism, originally a minor protector in the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism. Later adopted by the Gelug school. Has been worshipped throughout history by several schools of Tibetan Buddhism. As a wrathful manifestation of Manjushri, the Wisdom Buddha, who grants wisdom, clarity, and concentration. A protector who fulfils wishes and prayers, brings material resources,healing, and protects from harm to those who sincerely rely on. Also helps us to clear obstacles, and attracts opportunities for success, growth and in many ways. Many practitioners have benefited ultimately for helping them stay on the spiritual path. Rely on Dorje Shugden consistently over times, we will see his graceful yet powerful assistance in our lives. The prayers is indeed very powerful and have me change my life.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this simplified daily prayer. Easy and convenient for everyone.

    The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge. Part of being successful is about asking questions and listening to the answers. Asking questions is the first way to begin change. Knowledge shared is knowledge squared. A great way to learn by reading and asking various enlightened aspects of Tsongkapa. I am still learning even I have revisit this blog on and off. Still trying to remember names of great lamas.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this post.

    Born in 1905 in the village of Nangsang in the Kham province of eastern Tibet HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was a master of philosophical debate. He was a powerful Tantric practitioner, well known throughout the three great Gelug monasteries of central Tibet. Wow in an early stage of his childhood he performed various magical miracles such as able to invoke a female naga goddess in a nearby lake. A master of sutra and tantra, H H Kyabje Zong Rinpoche had performed countless holy deeds and gave thousands of Dharma teachings during his lifetime. A biography of a great Master who possessed an extraordinary memory and was renowned for healing activities. Zong Rinpoche was the Guru of many great masters. Interesting read of all the miraculous stories of Kyabje Zong Rinpoche.

    All thanks to our Guru that we are given a chance to get connected to the Sublime Queen, Vajra Yogini and collect merits along the way. The idea of making real gold-paint offerings to Vajra Yogini in KFR is indeed awesome for everyone. In Buddhism, symbolic offerings are made to the Triple Gem, giving rise to contemplative gratitude and inspiration. Making offerings to the Buddhas are acts of generosity and therefore highly meritorious.
    Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands.

    ndia is a land of diverse cultures, traditions, and spiritual practices. They allow religious freedom among its most enigmatic and intriguing spiritual sects are the Aghoris, a group of ascetics who are often surrounded by mystery, fear, and fascination. But the Tibetan leadership creates religious differences leading to discrimination, violence, hatred and bias against Shugden practitioners. Everyone has their rights to choose and practice whatever they want. The ban of Dorje Shugden is therefore unnecessary and illogical . In recent years religious freedom has improves.
    Interesting blog of a sect of ascetic sadhus who practice a unique and extreme form of Hinduism. They are the only surviving sect of the Kapalika tradition, a Tantric form of Shaivism originated in Medieval India. The Aghoris are a fascinating and mysterious group of Hindu ascetics, who have a distinct and radical approach to spirituality. They are known for their bizarre and unconventional rituals. They live in cremation grounds, smearing ashes on their bodies, using human skulls as utensils, and eating flesh from human corpses. Aghoris are Hindu devotees of Shiva the god of destruction and transformation, and they seek to attain liberation from the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. They see themselves as healers, both of the body and the soul. Many believe that their intense penance and devotion give them extraordinary powers.They engage in practices that challenge conventional ideas of purity, such as meditating in cremation grounds, consuming what others deem inedible, and embracing what society often shuns.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting sharing.

    Saying thank you and showing our gratitude with a handwritten message can make all the difference in our life.At times, when our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has reason to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. None of us who achieves success without the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge is this help with gratitude. Let us rise up and be thankful. Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.Its gratitude that helps us to grow and expand . And also gratitude brings joy and laughter into our life and into the lives of all those around us. Spiritually it unlocks the fullness of life and turning what we have into enough in life.

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.
    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
