- March 10, 2025 05:20Khang asked: Tashi Deleg Pastors! I have one question: I used to do daily Sang offering in the morning following list under here: 1. Generation and Boddichitta prayer 2. Tsongkhapa prayer by H.H 7th DalaiLama and Migtsema 3. Dorje Shugden short sangsol with Serkym offering. 4. Dedication. My question here that I have wish to recite short prayer and Mantra to Ganapati. Where is appropriate for me to put short Ganapati prayer and mantra in the list above? Thank you so much.pastor answered: Hello Khang, Nice to see you here again. You can include the short prayer and mantra to Ganapati before starting Dorje Shugden's short sangsol and Serkym offering. So you can do it after the Migtsema mantra. This follows the standard structure of practice, which starts with Taking Refuge, Generating Bodhicitta, Guru-related practices (which includes the practices of Lama Tsongkhapa). This is followed by deity practices such as Ganapati. Following this we engage in Dharma Protectors practices and finally dedication. We hope this helps. The practices of Lama Tsongkhapa, Ganapati and Dorje Shugden are all extremely powerful. I pray you are successful in creating an a close relationship with all three through your practice.
- March 7, 2025 05:12Kenny asked: Hello Pastors! I have question about: I had check some Tibetan Astrology Site about our marriage but the results come out quite bad and not good for us to marriage as a couple. I'm quite sad and I don't know what to do. What's we can do to resolve this? Or what should we think to calm our worry? Thank you so much. pastor answered: Dear Kenny, Thank you for your question. Tibetan astrology is only a guide. Within the Buddhist system, astrology shows the general manifestation of how karma has manifested for a person. But that does not mean it is set in stone. On the contrary, things can change. That is due to karma. Karma is not fixed, it can be changed, purified, exhausted or overpowered by other types of karma or spiritual merits. That is why in Tibetan astrology there are always methods proscribed to overcome a particularly negative astrological situation. If the calculator you used was a genuine one, they should have given advice about what to do in the exact situation. If they did not here is some general advice that can be used to make the situation better: Marriage or being in a relationship with someone takes effort, care and affection. The main way to ensure a good relationship and overcome negative astrological influences is actually through our own effort and transformation. We cannot remain the same as we are now, otherwise the outcome predicted by astrology will come true. If we put effort into transforming ourselves to be better people and actively working on creating a lasting and open relationship, due to our effort we will be successful in creating a good relationship. You create the karma to be successful through your own efforts. Tsem Rinpoche has given an incredible teaching called "Ingredients for a Successful Relationship", you can watch the teaching here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/students-friends/ingredients-for-a-successful-relationship.html In addition to that, there are certain practices you can engage in to help counter negative astrological effects. Generally speaking, Green Tara is extremely effective in help to create the best conditions for familial harmony and good relationships. You can set up a small altar to her in your house, make offerings and engage in her practice. However, if you want to be more specific you can engage in the practice of your birth deity. This is a deity that you have an affinity due to the time of your birth. If you don't know your birth deity, you can find out here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/tibetan-astrology/tibetan-astrology.html. Alternatively, you can engage in the practice of a Dharma Protector such as Dorje Shugden. You can also engage in either the practices of Trakpo Sumtril or Black Manjushri who are very effective in helping overcome negative astrological influences. Deity practice will help on the spiritual side to overcome this, but remember that they are aids to the main method which is transformation of ourselves and actively working to create a good and lasting relatationship. If you have any other questions about this, please do let us know.
- March 3, 2025 00:32Rolf Lorenz asked: Hello I am living in the UK age 65, I am so worried my memory is failing , I am currently praying to White and Green Tara as well as Medicine Buddha, can you suggest if there is any one deity which may be more help to me to help not get dementia or Altzheimers please, thank you so much I am so worried. Blessings and kindest wishes, Rolf Lorenz email lorenz.rolf@gmail.compastor answered: Dear Rolf, The deities you are praying to now are very good. Both White Tara and Medicine Buddha are actually healing deities. White Tara is also considered a long-life deity as well. If you were given the practices by a guru, then you should contact them to see which one you should concentrate on. If you don't have a guru, then in my opinion you should focus mainly on one particular deity and practice properly to get the full benefits of the practice. For Medicine Buddha, the practice is explained here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/prayers-and-sadhanas/medicine-buddha-practice.html For White Tara (which is shorter in length and less complicated) we have the practice explained here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/healing-practices-for-infectious-diseases.html (Even though the article is framed to help heal infectious diseases, she helps in all manner of healing and creating the causes for a long and healthy life.) If you are open to focusing on another deity instead, the practice of Shize is very good as well. Shize is an emanation of Dorje Shugden, who is a Dharma Protector. He himself is an emanation of Manjushri who is known as the Buddha of Wisdom and great for things like increasing and stabilising memory. Shize's speciality is for healing and long life also. I recommend him as Dharma Protector practices also help to overcome any obstacles that we may be facing faster than meditational deities. If you are already having signs of a failing memory, then this practice may be more effective right away. If you are not experiencing too many signs of failing memory, then you should focus on either White Tara or Medicine Buddha. But focus specifically on one of deity, so that you can create a very strong relationship with them, so that they can help you more. I have experience with both Medicine Buddha and White Tara practices, both are very effective when engaged in consistently and with faith. I hope this helps you. Do let us know if you have any other questions.
- February 26, 2025 00:56Karla asked: Hi pastors, can you share with me Thongkapa short prayer? As I will be going to the YongHe temple at Beijing soon. I would love to offer a prayer to buddha thongkapa. Thanks in advance.pastor answered: Dear Karla, Thanks for your question. It's incredible that you will be visiting Yong He Gong Temple. Here are some prayer to Lama Tsongkhapa which you may like: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/tsongkhapa-prayers.html Any of the prayers will be perfect to recite in front such a holy image of Lama Tsongkhapa. Hope this helps!
- February 20, 2025 11:11Karla asked: Hi pastors, can you share with me a short prayer to Buddha Guan Yin? I would like to make this prayer when I visit temples that have Guan Yin Buddha. Thanks in advance. pastor answered: Dear Karla, In Tibetan Buddhism which we practice, Guan Yin is actually worshipped in a male form. He is known as Chenresig in Tibetan or Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit. You can find a short yet very powerful praise to Chenresig here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/one-minute-story/powerful-and-short-praise-to-avalokitesvara-chenrezig If you want, you can recite this praise when visit temples that have Guan Yin Buddha. I hope this helps. Thank you.
- February 17, 2025 22:13Paulo asked: Dear pastors, when we perform the Lama Tsongkhapa practice, are there any visualizations we can do to heal people who are sick or have undergone surgery? I know there are healing practices with Medicine Buddha, White Tara, etc., but I want to know if there are techniques for healing others through Lama Tsongkhapa. Are the practices of Black Manjushri and Trakpo Sumtril effective in curing people who have recently undergone surgery? Thanks.pastor answered: Dear Paulo, In short, yes, the practice of Lama Tsongkhapa can be used for healing for oneself and others. When engaged in the mantra recitation section, visualise white healing lights from Lama Tsongkhapa's heart healing the particular person you are praying for. While this is effective, specific practices for healing, such as those you have mentioned may be quicker in it's effects as those practices are specficially manifested by the Buddhas for healing purposes. Black Manjushri and Trakpo Sumtril are also healing deities so they can can help in healing for sure, recovering from surgery, etc. I hope this helps.
- February 14, 2025 19:49bhavisha asked: Namo Buddhaya, This reply is related to my question on january 26 with name bhavisha. here, is the link where rinpoche said 'manjushri helps temperarily'. its very short. https://youtu.be/uwL9Kfqt37s?si=1ak8LZGhIZjaN7TA video title is ' how manjushri protects us'. its 7.21 minutes only. also on january 25 Naina asked question. that person is also me. i used alternative name because of the strange situation but as you said didi to me and in my wonder also remember me i am telling this now. Because of purification my inner condition was really really hard to bear. i am not person who easily quit but that day i quit by surrendering holy mother Kali as i see her as my dharma protector. i didnt know at that time that dharma protectors help. i dont know what she has done to me , i stated process again in 1 or 2 days after quitting , you see even day i dont remember, she helped and the whole effect inside i had because of purification has just vanished, in my double wonders , every day in the morning i just feel really drawn to do process and i feel so satisfied and calm. now i want to do more malas but i dont have that much time. hahahaha.i read on your website somewhere that in tibetian buddhism they have also deity name Kali. i want her photo in tibetian style if you have. i am very greatful. for inspiration of others i really wanted to share how Manjushri, mother Kali and father vajrasattva chose me and i didnt choose them but these are long stories. if your website can have that type of section where people can share stories of deities , that how they helps, do wonders, shower blessings, this can inspire more people towards dharma. but that's my kind suggetion only. i am greatful. pastor answered: Dear Bhavisha didi, Thank you replying. I will answer in two parts: 1. I know the teachings that you are refering to in which Tsem Rinpoche said that Manjushri helps us "temporarily" and what he meant. Basically, Manjushri helps to get a clear mind so that when we are able to learn and understand the Dharma, we can transform ourselves to be better people and ultimately progress on the spiritual path. In the case of being temporary, this is because as Rinpoche mentioned, it is a method for us to develop a clear mind. If we don't use our clear mind to transform ourselves, which will stabilise and increase Manjushri's ability to help us, we have not used his blessings to the fullest potential. If we don't progress on our spiritual path ourselves to a certain level, we will end up creating more negative karma and obscurations, which will lead our mind to become unclear, unfocused, again. So that is the reason why Rinpoche may have refered to it as temporary, because Rinpoche was emphasising that it is through own effort that we actually transform. Manjushri helps us to do that. 2. Kalidevi is known as the protectress Palden Lhamo in Tibetan Buddhism. You can read about her here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/palden-lhamo.html. She is seen as an emanation of Saraswati within Buddhist belief. She also have a very strong link to Kali Ghat Temple, and many Tibetan Buddhists go to visit the temple every year to make prayers. Understanding about Palden Lhamo is slightly different from the Hindu understanding. But Tsem Rinpoche always used to tell me that they are actually one and the same. Sometimes, understanding about Palden Lhamo can be a little confusing for someone from an Indian Hindu background as she is also known as Shri Devi, which is a name for Lakshmi in Hinduism. Actually the goddess Lakshmi also exists in Tibetan Buddhism, where her name is Pel Lhamo. Palden Lhamo/Kalidevi is a very powerful Dharma Protector. Tsem Rinpoche has a close connection to Palden Lhamo from a very young age. I hope this helps your understanding. And thank you for your suggestion. They Buddhas do help us in amazing ways. I'm glad to read that things are going better for you now.
- February 12, 2025 02:36Khang asked: Hello Pastors! I have a question: I would like to combine Ucchusma's sang offering into my daily Dorje Shugden sang offering. How i can do this? Or do we have to practice separate these two practice? Thank you so muchpastor answered: Dear Khang, Thanks for your question. In relation to this, we should clarify that there are two types of sang that are listed in various articles on our website. The first is the "Sang Offering" to Dorje Shugden. This is specifically an offering of smoke. The details are provided here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/prayers-and-sadhanas/incense-offering-to-dorje-shugden.html This is a specific offering. So if you are using sang to do something else, you will need to do it separately from the sang offering. The second is the "Cleansing Sang", which is using sang to clear a specific area, your home for example, from negative energies and to bring positive energies into the area. This is not considered an offering (although when you do some of the associated visualisations, you are treat it like one). The main purpose of this is actually cleansing. The mechanism that makes the cleansing sang work is actually the burning of Protector Rice. It is not an offering because the sang is a vehicle that you are using to release the energies of the Protector rice. That is why you don't offer any sang offering prayers during this. Similarly this would be done separately from a sang offering. As outlined in this article: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/one-minute-story/stories-from-a-chela-cleansing-sang-visualisations using Ucchusma's mantra for cleansing sang is way to purify negative karma and obscurations internally by breathing in the smoke sang that has protector rice already burning. In this case, you are coupling the energies of the Dharma Protector (through the burning rice), with the purification mantra of Ucchusma for double effect. I hope this helps to answer your questions.
- February 10, 2025 01:10Theresa asked: Hello to all Team Tsem Rinponche, I would like ask, step by step for purification. I am catholic by birth but I do believe in budhesim. I read some on the website and watched some of Rinponche’s video on youtube. My concern is when reciting the mantra do I need a mala or I can set and recite like a prayer but bit louder? Is it ok to do a mantra while walking or doing something as long as you are alone? Thank youpastor answered: Dear Theresa, Thank you for your questions. Tsem Rinpoche has provided many articles here about purification which you will find has all the information you are looking for: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/prayers-and-sadhanas/an-important-purification-practice.html https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/vajrasattva-and-prostrations-transcript.html https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/how-to-purify-your-karma-in-kechara-forest-retreat.html In regards to reciting mantras, it is recommended to get a mala to help you count. If this is not feasible due to various circumstances, you can use an electronic counter. For reciting mantras during personal practice, these are not recited too loud. In fact, they are recited softly. If a person was nearby they would not actually be able to hear what you are reciting. There are different ways to chant mantras according to different religious paths. In Tibetan Buddhism, they are not chanted loudly during personal practice. They are recited just loud enough for you to hear the mantra, but if someone was next to you, they would not be able to hear what you are citing. In Buddhism, we have daily practices. When doing these it is proper to do the practices sitting down, fully focused on the practice and not engaged in other activities. When not engaged in daily practice, you can of course recite mantras while doing normal daily activities such as walking, working etc. As long as it does not disturb anyone else. I hope this message helps. Thank you.
- January 30, 2025 10:04Mat asked: Hello Pastor, Is it required transmission, empowerment or initiation to recite the Vajrapani's mantra ("Om Vajrapani Hum", "Om Vajrapani Hum Phat")? Thanks in advance.pastor answered: Dear Mat, Thanks for your question. You do not need a transmission, empowerment or initiation to recite Vajrapani's mantra. Within the Gelug lineage as taught by Tsem Rinpoche the mantra is pronounced as "OM BENZAPANI HUNG". You can start reciting the mantra, no problem. In order to create to a strong connection with Vajrapani, you should recite the mantra daily with consistency. Vajrapani is considered the Buddha of Skillful Means or the embodiment of the power of the enlightened beings. His practice is excellent. Known as Chagna Dorje in Tibetan, Vajrapani’s name literally means “Holder of the Vajra”. He is wrathful, appearing in the form of a yaksha being. With his right leg bent and left outstretched, he stands in pratyalidha posture. He holds a golden five-pointed vajra in his right hand and with his left hand held in front of his heart, he makes a threatening gesture at our delusions and negative karma. Vajrapani is also known as the Lord of Secrets and he bestows practitioners with a special aptitude to practise Tantra. He is well-known to pacify inner and outer maras. Inner maras are delusions and the self-grasping mind while outer maras refer to malevolent spirits and obstructing beings. If you would like to pray to Vajrapani, or any deity, to create a closer connection with them and to benefit from their energies, it is advisable to set up a small shrine to them and make offerings daily, according to your means. You can get a small statue or image of Vajrapani and place on your shrine. We have some images available for download that you can print and use if you like them: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/one-minute-story/the-buddha-of-power-vajrapani https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/one-minute-story/vajrapani-the-secret-lord https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/one-minute-story/the-lord-of-secrets-vajrapani Hope this answers your question! Thank you.

- January 26, 2025 19:37Bhavisha asked: Why Tsem Rinpoche said in one of his video that Manjushri helps 'temporarily'? Why he used word 'temporarily'?pastor answered: Hi Bhavisha didi, Nice to see you back here. Can you share the video and the timestamp that Rinpoche said this? There must be a wider context in which Rinpoche said this. We can check properly and get back to you. In general however, I can think of a couple of reasons. The first is that in order to achieve complete enlightenment, we need to put in effort from our own side. It cannot be achieved solely on the reliance of a deity in the external sense. You must achieve the state of the deity through internalising the Dharma and transforming your mind through the teachings, developing Bodhicitta, etc. The second could be that in order to achieve enlightenment in the shortest time possible, one would need to rely on the practice of a Highest Yoga Tantric deity. In our lineage, we rely on Manjushri a lot, but in different forms. For example there is a saying in our lineage that our Guru is Manjushri (in the form of Lama Tsongkhapa), our Yidam is Manjushri (in the form of Manjushri or Yamantaka as a higher tantric deity), and our Protector is Manjushri (in the form of Dorje Shugden or Kalarupa). Manjushri is definitely important, so there should be a wider context in which Rinpoche was explaining that Manjushri helps 'temporarily.' Hope that helps and looking forward to your reply. Thanks.
- January 25, 2025 19:06naina asked: great pastor, i have complited 100000 short or essense mantra of vajrasttva. but i was not satisfied with myself. so, i stared long mantra. each day i can do one mala as i am housewife cant give more time; in that way it will take 3 to 4 years to complete 100000 mantra. now my inner condition is unbearable, its really painful. i am still holding tight. we are planning child and my husband cant wait more, he is not buddhist. he waited for so long. now i am afraid child is going to feel all what i am feeling. what should i do?is there anyway .i dont understand. i dont wanna quit the purification process. the inside numbness and emotionless state i am feeling i dont want anyone to feel. show me the way so i can complete the process.pastor answered: Dear Naina, Thank you for your question. When engaged in prolonged practice, especially something like reaching a certain number of mantras over a period of time, we can definitely experience a lot of purification of karma. This is especially so when engaged in the practice of Vajrasattva or other specific purification practices. As you embark on this journey with your husband, please don't be afraid that your child will feel what you are feeling due to the purification. Here are some things that you can do to help: 1. Reduce the amount of mantras you are doing daily. Even though it will take a longer time to complete, it will make things more managable for you. When engaged in such long periods of practice, people think it is better to finish it as quickly as possible. This is true for people living a monastic lifestyle, but as a lay person, remember that you have other responsibilities. So take things slow. Slow and steady wins the race as they say. Doing too much will not make your practice stronger, but it will have an effect in other areas of your life. 2. Engage in Protector practice. One of the specific benefits of Dharma Protector practice is to reduce the effects of purification that you feel. You can engage in the practice or Dorje Shugden or any other enlightened Dharma protector that you feel an affinity for. You can find some Dharma Protector practices on this page: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/prayers-and-sadhanas/sadhana-prayers.html 3. Make sure to take some time for yourself. When engaged in long practice periods, it is important to go for walks, exercise, be in nature amongst the green plants, or go to high places such as the tops of hills, and look out over the wide landscapes. This is mentioned specifically in scripture. 4. If the feeling of numbness or emotionlessness is too strong, you can also seek professional medical help for example by seeing a therapist. There is nothing wrong with this at all. 5. If you have a guru-disciple relationship with a guru, you can ask them for more specific advice. I hope this helps. Thank you.
