Yes, you can download and print high-resolution images of the Enlightened Beings and Buddhas absolutely free!
I realise that it can sometimes be difficult to find good quality, iconographically correct images of the various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, especially in places where Dharma is not strong, or in remote areas. Therefore, I am very happy to be able to make this selection of images available to everyone to download at absolutely no charge.
The images are high-resolution and of sufficient quality to be printed clearly on an A4 or A3 sheet of paper and framed for your altar or shrine. So therefore I am making this available for all dharma practitioners around the world and for those who just want sacred images in their environment. Enjoy, be blessed and share this with others.
Let me know in the comments sections which images you downloaded. I would feel very happy to know.

Great idea now we can download and print high-resolution images of the Enlightened Beings and Buddhas absolutely free. Those days its difficult to get it with modern technology its possible printing out and we can put beautiful Buddha images on our altar. Looking at those images is a blessing indeed awesome.
All thanks to our Guru .
Thank you Rinpoche .
Dharma is the highest gift. It’s a result of merits – both merits and Dharma are the path all beings walk – and I have the feeling many practitioners are scary of losing merits due anger which is so common in the world and many Buddhist teachers are very rigorous about, which can alien intention, and then confusion can make scared. To have a small shrine and make offerings extremely encourages and stabilizes, which enables progress along the path, and just like with reciting mantras, making offerings it’s funny and empowers positive thinking as opposed to conflicting emotions and unruly states of mind. With many offerings even just mentally the end result will be auspicious, have no doubt, as it is written: people with Faith in the Buddha’s teaching should make offerings with incense and flowers. So, sandalwood is very enriching but the more auspicious and blessed the substances the more auspicious and blessed the results and the fortune of prospering along the path. SINCER THANKS TO TSEM RINPOCHE AND THE BUDDHIST SANGHA.
The images which I have printed can’t be replaced for an entire great cycle of teachings.
Perfect Ten in number, each is complete and flawless.
What is superior is the Buddhist path and these images are authentic in every way.
These ten are:
– Shakyamuni, Maitreya, Atisha
– Lama Tsongkhapa with Five deities and Three protectors
– Lama Tsongkhapa with Maitreya and Vajrapani
– Guru Rinpoche, Tsongkhapa, Dorje Shugden
– Thousand armed Chenrezig
– Vajrasattva
– Medicine Buddha’s
– Lama Tsongkhapa with conch shell
– Vajrakilaya
– Yamantaka I
Having a good quality correct images of the various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas is hard to find those days. But now Kechara had produced beautiful high-resolution images for us to print out for our home. It’s a blessing have a print out images of Buddha in our home. Looking through these images is amazing, simply beautiful having us get connected to them
Thank you Rinpoche and team for the effort…..with much appreciation.
Thank you so much for these sensational images and I have definitely downloaded a lot of them including Lama Tsongkhapa, Arya Tara, Heruka, Yamantaka, Dorje Shugden, Gyenze, Vajrayogini and Chenrezig and have greatly appreciated it. I’ve even used them in my own blog posts about these great enlightened Buddha’s and currently am using it for Arya Tara.
I am aware that the late H.E Tsem Rinpoche passed away into clear light two years ago which means that I could never thank him for having allowed everyone to downloaded these beautiful Buddha images for their use.
But I can never thank him and Kechara enough for this.
Thank you very much for your generosity; I was looking for an image of Buddha to make an altar and consolidate a meditation practice; as you mentioned it is difficult to find on the internet images that are inspiring and that reflect the essence, heart. But I found your space; Thank you very much for your generosity Master.

I am a Christian Iconographer of the Cretan/Greek tradition. However I have always had a fascination for Tibetan thangka paintings. In their concept and use they are not disimilar to Christian Byzantine Icons. These Thangkas are very beautifull. Thank you.
I am wondering if you could extend your assistance for a temple to produce a picture that will be used to be worshiped. I am volunteering to provide them with a larger and higher resolution which I do not have the expertise to do so. they have provided me with a low res picture and I was wondering if you have the right designers and expertise to have a look and re-frame the picture.

KECHARA FOREST RETREAT PROGRESS UPDATES
Here is the latest news and pictorial updates, as it happens, of our upcoming forest retreat project.
The Kechara Forest Retreat is a unique holistic retreat centre focused on the total wellness of body, mind and spirit. This is a place where families and individuals will find peace, nourishment and inspiration in a natural forest environment. At Kechara Forest Retreat, we are committed to give back to society through instilling the next generation with universal positive values such as kindness and compassion.
n Tibetan culture, it is a popular and customary practice for families to invite monks to perform spiritual ceremonies such as Trusol rituals. The monks have had the opportunity to offer such ceremonies for individuals or their families. Such ceremonies purify the elements of the environment which helps those living or visiting there to experience good health, success and well-being. The sacred ritual of ‘bathing’ the Buddhas and consecration through which negativities, sicknesses and obstacles will be cleared. Where by filling those areas with positive energies and good vibes through this Trusol consecration puja. Water is an essential part of this puja and symbolises the cleansing of all negativities and impurities. Through this puja it also pacifies local deities and other unseen beings in the surrounding areas. We are indeed fortunate that Tsem Rinpoche has taught Kecharians this practice and it has benefited many.
Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands
Reading this post had me gain some knowledge of Shifter Werewolves. Any article regarding rare creatures or paranormal articles are of my interest since young. In European folklore, a werewolf is a man who turns into a wolf at night and devours animals, people, or corpses but returns to human form by day.They have the ability to transform from an ordinary human appearance to a partially-lupine form with pointed ears, mutton chops, claws and fangs, and a ridged brow . Wow… werewolf tends to be vicious and unable to control his blood thirst. Their underlying common origin can be traced back to Proto-Indo-European mythology. In many depictions, these bloodthirsty beasts are evil where they kill animals and innocent people. They are humans who transition into wolf-like creatures, after being placed under a curse. In folklore, most werewolves originate from being cursed or bitten by another werewolf. That’s what they do believe. According many enthusiasts, there’s many different type of werewolves such as Alpha wolves, Beta wolves , Deltas, Elders, some survive as loners while others move in packs. How true it is no one knows. I do believe their existing . Many interesting stories related to these wolves in the past history.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
Beautiful Dorje Shugden at Malacca. One should pay a visit there, located at a busy tourist place. It was such an auspicious occasion that a grand Puja was held there. Dedicated students and volunteers were there getting the place ready for the grand puja. Well the Grand Dorje Shugden puja was conducted by very own Kechara puja team to commemorate the chapel’s 3rd anniversary. Many people attended the Puja that’s wonderful to receive the powerful Protector Dorje Shugden blessings. More people will make a connection and get to know Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom, in the form of a Dharma Protector. May Dorje Shugden’s practice flourish to benefit those tourists and locals.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
Venerable Geshe Rabten Rinpoche is a highly realised meditation master known as a debater, scholar, and meditation master, was the first Tibetan Buddhist master to introduce the complete Vinaya-tradition. He had also introduce the study of the five major topics of Buddhism to the West. He became the ‘path breaker’ of the complete and complex teachings of Buddhism in the West. Many masters, who are famous in the West today, were Geshe’s students. enerable Geshe Rabten. Geshe Rabten wrote the beautiful and Manjushri’s prayer called Gangloma and gave a profound explanation. We are so fortunate to learn about this Manjushri’s sacred prayer. May all be blessed by the practice of Lord Manjushri and Geshe Rabten’s explanation.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
The begging bowl or alms bowl is one of the simplest but most important objects in the daily lives of Theravada Buddhist monks. The alms bowl still stands as an emblem of how all Buddhas, as numerous as grains of sand in the Ganges, practiced to end their desire. All those who receive the alms bowl should focus their mind to act with self-control and self-respect. Almsgiving is a tradition of Theravada Buddhists, majority in Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Laos. In those early days of Buddhism, monks would take their bowls and go out begging for food. As today in Thailand one could see monks woke up before dawn every morning and carried his bowl through the roads or paths wherever he was staying. Local people would place food in the bowl as a donation, through the generosity of lay people. They accept whatever food is offered for them and eat whatever been given, serve as a blessing for the giver.
One bowl has held the food of a thousand families. A solitary monastic travels on his journey of a hundred thousand miles seeking liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
Thank you H.E. Tsem Rinpoche for explaining the meaning of begging and gave us more reasons to be vegetarian . Create a awareness among us not killing animals to be one.
Ajahn Siripanyo, the son of billionaire Ananda Krishnan, chose to abandon his inheritance and become a Buddhist monk in pursuit of spirituality. A Thai-Malaysian monk born in London and educated in UK. He was ordained in Thailand and lived there, leaving behind a life of immense wealth and privilege. He did surprised many and his choice was unexpected. Initially as a temporary measure, but somehow later evolved into a permanent way of life. Ven. Ajahn Siripanyo is now the Abbot of hermitage Dtao Dam on the Thai-Burmese border in Saiyok National Park, Thailand.
He was in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia years back giving an enthralling Dhamma talk on the timeless teachings of Ajahn Chah.
Thank you Rinpoche for this inspiring sharing.
The Tibetan diaspora began in 1959 after the People’s Liberation Army entered the country. Thousands of Tibetan and the Dalai Lama fled into exile to India. The Indian government led by Jawaharlal Nehru kind enough to offer land which was scattered throughout the country. The Tibetans as refugees on which the Tibetans would be able to reestablish themselves. After 60 years of protests, campaigns and fundraising, the Tibetan movement has not been fruitful, increase the living welfare condition and Tibetans continue to depend on the kindness of their host countries. Due to these many Tibetan in exile left India to elsewhere and other countries seeking a better future. In the last 60 years, the Tibetan leadership have not been successful in making progress with their political goals. Surprisingly the Tibetan Spiritual leader Dalai Lama said in an interview published letter that Europe has accepted “too many” refugees . While there is many protests and attempts to pressure Europe to accept more refugees.
Further more the unethical ban against Shugden making life more difficult for many Dorje Shugden practitioners . Because of the ban against Dorje Shugden the whole Tibetan Buddhist world is divided until now. May all be harmonious soon even recently .Dalai Lama had said we could practice Interesting read. Interesting read.
Thank you Rinpoche and Khong Jean Ai for this sharing.
The Kalmyks are the only traditionally Buddhist people living within Europe. As Tibetan Buddhists, the Kalmyks regard the Dalai Lama as their spiritual leader. Kalmykia is a historical crossroads on the Silk Road. The Western Mongol Kalmyk tribes. The Kalmyks live primarily in the Republic of Kalmykia, a federal subject of Russia located in the southeast European part of Russia. The Kalmyks are the only inhabitants of Europe whose national religion is Buddhism. They embraced Buddhism in the early part of the 17th century and belong to the Tibetan Buddhist. Like other Mongols, the Kalmyk are very spiritual Tibetan Buddhists, but their Buddhism has a strong admixture of indigenous beliefs and shamanistic practices. Buddhism spread among Mongols during the time of the Mongol Empire. They have come a long way till now, with rich traditions in song, dance, music, arts and a powerful heritage ,strong convictions.
Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting information of the hidden Kalmykia society.
Thaipusam is a Tamil Hindu festival celebrated on the first full moon day of the Tamil month. The festival is celebrated to commemorate the victory of Hindu God Murugan over the demon Surapadman. The festival commemorates the triumph of good over evil by many devotees throughout Malaysia. For Hindus, Thaipusam is a day to cleanse oneself of sins and to repent for any transgressions in the past year.Devotees place a great deal of emphasis on the Vel. Silver, gold, lead, copper, and iron which is the five metals. It is said to be able to absorb all negative energy, spread positivity, and destroy all dangerous energies. Wearing yellow during Thaipusam as Lord Murugan’s favourite colour. Well Yellow is also associated with new beginnings, peace and happiness. On that day many devotees will be wearing yellow in color. Devotees will carry heavy ornate structures called kavadis while others have their tongues, cheeks and backs pierced with hooks and skewers. They then walk barefoot up 272 steps to the Batu Caves temple. Women devotees will carry the milk pots on that day. Thousands of locals and tourist from around the world of different faith will be there to witness this auspicious festival.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
Dorje Shugden controversy began when the Dalai Lama made successive attempts to wrongly assert the nature of the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden to be a harmful spirit. The great lineage masters such as Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche and Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche’s teachings are amongst the greatest dharma that forms the foundation of Gelugpa education. As confirmed that Dorje Shugden is an emanation of Manjushri. Dorje Shugden is an enlightened Dharma Protector who manifested about 400 years ago from a lineage of erudite masters. They cant be wrong . Dorje Shugden via the Panglung oracle had helped the Dalai Lama in his great escape out of Tibet. There are so many highly attained lamas who practices Dorje Shugden and their reincarnations have been coming back again and again. Even 5th Dalai Lama composed a prayer to Dorje Shugden and built a Protector chapel dedicated to Dorje Shugden as well. That’s Trode Khangsar in Central Lhasa which is still there. The ban of Dorje Shugden is unnecessary and illogical as the bigger purpose of Dorje Shugden,is the preservation of the Dharma. The Tibetan Leadership (CTA) has instituted this ban against Dorje Shugden for many years and its time to lift the ban. May more people read and understand the ban and the real reason behind this controversy.
Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for sharing this post.
Panchen Sonam Dragpa a scholar ,great master, writer, abbot of all monastic universities. Well known for writing 11 definitive volumes of philosophical teachings.

The only person ever to have received this honour. Panchen Sonam Dragpa’s collected works spans volumes, constituting the main textbooks which is still used today.

Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.
Troll is a being in Nordic folklore, described as trolls dwell in isolated areas of rocks, mountains, or caves, live together in small family units, and are rarely helpful to human beings. Trolling behaviors involve tactical aggression to incite emotional responses, which can adversely affect the target’s well-being. Troll represented aspects of life and nature that were beyond human control or understanding. They can be found all over Norway with mysterious rock formations and mountains with troll-like-shapes , sometimes possessing magic powers too. Reading this post had me get to know there’s other forest creatures that existed long ago. An eye opener reading it .
Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.
Dice divination, a fascinating and ancient method of fortune-telling, has been used by various cultures throughout history. Dice hold different meanings and symbolism in various religious traditions, representing chance, fate, and the connection between humans and the divine. Dice are commonly used as divination tools in modern witchcraft and are interpreted to seek insight and guidance from higher powers. Despite all the different rules and approaches, all forms of dice divination are basically the more same.
In Tibetan Buddhism there are a number of divination methods. Even within dice divination there are many forms, and these are associated with many different deities such as Manjushri, Palden Lhamo and Dorje Shugden. Dorje Shugden divination method is well known to be extremely accurate , very beneficial and effective.
Our Guru H E Tsem Rinpoche had received the entire transmission and commentary of the Dorje Shugden divination lineage from Dorje Shugden himself. One should maintain very good guru devotion and have clean samaya with our guru with ,have respect for the Dharma and have the deepest faith in the great and powerful enlightened protector Dorje Shugden to do the divination.Tsem Rinpoche has helped thousands of people through his divination methods in Malaysia. Interesting read , more to understand about it.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing with us .
Visualizing deities while meditating or when we are performing a puja is one of the principal methods used in the Tibetan tradition. Deities are highly symbolic representations of awakened minds that have appeared to past masters in visions. Deities are represented in thangkas and paintings. As more and more people embrace the Tibetan Buddhist path with sincerity and dedication, they understand better and could visualize through the practice. It is not about appeasing a deity, but engaging in formal meditational practices to transform ourselves. The actual practice in Buddhism is to purify karma, accumulate merits by way of Buddha-deity practice, and to create the causes and conditions for spiritual realisations.
Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for these great teachings.

Dear everyone... This is a good condensed talk I gave on Guru Yoga of Tsongkapa. This is the one you should share with others when they are interested in a not too lengthy explanation. It is the perfect practice for everyone who wants simplicity yet effective blessings. You can share this with more people, it will be good.
"If you say you don't have money to help a animal shelter, why then do you have money to buy meat?"
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Eating animals is not our God-given right, but being kind to them is."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"What makes us good humans is not how we abuse animals, but how much we allow them to live and be happy freely."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"We need another and wiser and perhaps a more mythical concept of animals.... We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complex than ours they moved finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."
~ Henry Beston, The Outermost House
"Not eating animals is only unnatural when we are not used to it."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES
"We may encounter defeat, but we must not be defeated."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"What you are today, is the choice you made yesterday."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"You think you can choose your life? What an ego trip!"
~ Lama Yeshe
"If TODAY you are dissatisfied, you must make the changes to create different results for TOMORROW."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
SPIRITUAL QUOTES
“Meditating on Dorje Shugden while reciting his mantra will open the gateways to higher dimensions, blessings and protection.”
~ Tsem Rinpoche
“If one does the recitation of the Lama Tsongkhapa guru yoga prayer for even one month using one of the visualizations for great or clear or quick wisdom, one will definitely see development of that wisdom. It is proved by experience. There is no doubt that by doing the Lama Tsongkhapa guru yoga practice one can meet Lama Tsongkhapa’s teachings from life to life. And furthermore, it gives one the opportunity to be born in the pure realm of Lama Tsongkhapa, Tushita, whenever death happens.”
~ Pabongkha Rinpoche
"I was 18 years old in 1983. That was a very special year as I met His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche and received innumerable precious teachings and empowerments from Him at Thubten Dhargye Ling Centre in Los Angeles, California. It was the best time of my life. A time that seems so magical and surreal to me. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche is Heruka Buddha and I met Heruka."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"If being me offends you, maybe I'm not the problem."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Never abandon your spiritual teacher no matter how many inner obstacles you need to overcome."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Actions to force something to be permanent makes all the karmas arise."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"The dharma is not easy to listen to… because some people take it as criticism. But Dharma should not be just feel good only for the moment but for deeper contemplations."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Whether we do work and suffer but for others or we do work and suffer for ourselves, either way we have to suffer. That is the nature of samsara. So let us suffer for others and then suffering has meaning."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Those who really want the dharma to grow within themselves and to grow for others should never fear hard work, timing, difficulties, struggles, disappointments because it is for a good cause. Working for Dharma is not a prison or work, but it is purely spiritual practice. It is purely collection of merit and purification. Actually not doing dharma work is the real prison."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"His Holiness Zong Rinpoche stressed the need to continue to practice even when we come up against obstacles, and that we should continually review our progress. He stated that a happy, luxurious life was like a good dream, and that obstacles and difficulties were like a bad dream. We should give them no significance, but simply carry on working towards real, everlasting happiness."
~ Ngala ’ö-Dzin Tridral
"Things in samsara always go wrong. That's its nature. Don't be surprised."

"Knowledge never quenches the thirst, only application."

LIFE QUOTES
"I pity men who occupy themselves exclusively with the transitory in things and lose themselves in the study of what is perishable, since we are here for this very end-that we may make the perishable imperishable, which we can do only after we have learned how to approach both."
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Money amplifies negative characteristics and that can cause problems.
To walk away from that was actually very easy. I didn't even consider it."
~ Angeline Francis Khoo
"I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud."
~ Carl Jung
"There is a devil there is no doubt, but is he trying to get into us or trying to get out?"
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"If you love someone, show it by being honest, respectful & honorable with them."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."
~ Henry David Thoreau
"If I can just be the way I am & you the way you are & we accept each other, world peace is near."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"I am Asian, you are some other beautiful color. Together we make diversity so beautiful."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"It's amazing how some people have never met me or know who I am, but based on a few things they read here & there & rumours, they have formulated a new personality for me & all the things I've never done they passionately speak about....I find it funny and entertaining now. I guess we can't spend our lives fighting rumours...we just have to work hard & then rumours get proven wrong on it's own as a by product. No point explaining repeatedly. Just do our work & show results!!"
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"There's a difference between patience and laziness. Patience comes from respect while laziness from disrespect of others."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Although outwardly we have so much, we have so many conveniences, inwardly we have become more unhappy, so, acquisition is not the secret to happiness. The more we get, the more we have, the more unhappy we become."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Before we experience any pain, we already had a fixed view of how things should be. When the experience we encounter contradicts our views, then the pain arises. The pain arises due to our fixed views not so much the experience itself. So the secret is changing the views. Re-educating ourselves on our views."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"You know since very young, for better or worse, I always did the things that others told me not to do. I wasn't really good at following the rules. Even now with how I share Dharma and my practice, I just do it the way I think it should be done but I do it sincerely. Not what others tell me what I can and can't do."
~ Tsem Rinpoche
"Love me or hate me, both are in my favor... If you love me, I'll always be in your heart... If you hate me, I'll always be in your mind."
~ William Shakespeare
"One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous or honest."
~ Maya Angelou
Devotional Songs
Sung by Mary Fewel Tulin, these mystical songs in praise of the guru originate from the Sikh tradition. Yet, they are applicable to all traditions for those who want to venerate their guru.
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.

ASK A PASTOR
A section for you to clarify your Dharma questions with Kechara’s esteemed pastors.
Just post your name and your question below and one of our pastors will provide you with an answer.
Scroll down and click on "View All Questions" to view archived questions.
Seema Purohit asked:I have exam on 13 November. It is showing very bad day as per mawa. I am aged 41 and struggling. I failed 3 times. Can u suggest way to turn the tide. I am working hard but luck is never on my side.pastor answered:Dear Seema Purohit,
Thank you for your question. Astrological influences do not necessarily mean that things on that day will go bad. There are methods that we can use to overcome any negative influences and make those days very successful and productive.
First since this has to do with exams, you should be practical about it, make sure that you know the exam material well, make sure that you eat properly before the exams, and make sure that you remain calm before and during the exam. If you know the material well, if you are too nervous then it may cause you issues during the exam.
From the spiritual angle, you can make offerings on your altar before your exam. Actually, it would be good for you to make offerings on your altar daily from now until then, to generate merit so that your exam will be successful. You can also engage in Dorje Shugden's mantra - OM BENZA WIKKI BITANA SOHA. Dorje Shugden a Dharma Protector who helps us to overcome obstacles and be succesful. He is an emanation of Manjushri, who is the Buddha of Wisdom. So, his practice is especially powerful for things to do with study, exams, etc.
You can read more about Dorje Shugden here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/beginners-introduction-to-dorje-shugden.html
Hope this helps. And you have our prayers for success in your exams.

Nelson asked:Tashi Delek Pastors!
I have some questions about some things that may pastors help me understand:
Today, I receive some gifts from a Dharma Friends that four small bags during his visit trips to Tibet:
Tamdrin Dudtsi Mendrup or Hayagriva Holy Nectar Pills from Sera Ngakpa Tretsang.
Mani Rilbu or Mani Blessing Pills from Drashi Gonkhang.
Dorje Shugden Rilbu or Dorje Shugden blessing pills from Sampheling in Tibet.
Kagye Drupchen holy nectar pills from Mindroling Monastery.
What's is different between these three holy pills?
How i should use or supply better these pills for anyone or my self?
What's meanings of these pills and benefits of this?
Thank you so much.pastor answered:Dear Nelson,
You have received some very powerful and blessed holy pills from your friend. In general, all the pills are made from dried crushed herbs and holy items and then consecrated during long pujas, dedicated to a particular deity to imbue them with certain energies. Here is a little bit of information about them:
Tamdrin Dudtsi Mendup - these pills are made from holy nectar and consecrated using the practice of Hayagriva, who is a wrathful emanation of Chenrezig (the Buddha of Compassion). Generally, any blessed item using the practice of Hayagriva is good for protection from spirits and nagas, negative forces or energies, etc. They are also good for healing illness and diseases, especially effective for any type of skin disease. Mendup pills are also specifically made for healing physical illnesses. Sera Ngakpa Dratsang is the tantric college of Sera Monastery in Tibet, where they learn and practice the different types of tantric systems within the Gelug lineage.
Mani Rilbu - these are pills blessed with the energies of Chenrezig using the Mani mantra - OM MANI PEME HUNG. They are great for general healing and well-being and are very potent sources of the compassionate energies of the Buddha. Drashi Gonkhang is a protector chapel dedicated to Drashi Lhamo who is a form of Palden Lhamo. This chapel is affliated with Sera Monasery which is of the Gelug lineage. You can read more about Drashi Lhamo here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/drashi-lhamo-the-protectress-with-the-rolled-out-tongue.html
Dorje Shugden Rilbu - are pills blessed with the energies of Dorje Shugden. They are are excellent for providing protection and swift assistance to overcome worldly and spiritual obstacles. Sampheling Monastery also belongs to the Gelug tradition and the Sangha there are known to be very strong practitioners of Dorje Shugden. It is also considered to be the home monastery of one the most important incarnation lineages within the Gelugpa tradition - the line of Trijang Rinpoches.
Kagye Drupchen holy nectar pills - these are pills made from blessed nectar and consecrated using the Kagye practice, which is a practice incorporating eight different tantric deities. Mindrolling is also one of the most famous Nyingma lineage monasteries. It is one of the six Mother Monasteries of that lineage. I do not know much about the benefits of this rilbu as we practice the Gelug tradition in Kechara, and this practice belongs to the Nyingma tradition. While certain practices are shared in common throughout all traditions, the Gelug lineage does not have this particular practice.
Here is some general advice of what you can do with the pills:
> Insert into Buddha statues and stupas at the appropriate level to increase their blessings and positive potential. It’s said that if one has very good samaya with the guru, the holy rilbus placed in a stupa will miraculously multiply and grow.
> Place a holy rilbu in your water bottle and drink throughout the day for general protection, healing and blessings. The water can be topped up daily until the pill has completely dissolved.
> In times of need, a rilbu can be consumed on its own. Swallow it whole with water, or crush into powder and consume with water.
> Dissolve in bathing water to relieve skin problems and for general protection.
> Place in the mouth of a dying person or animal to help them pass on peacefully.
> Place in the mouth of a deceased person or animal to help them take a better rebirth.
The pills should be store in a cool, dry and respectful place when not using them, otherwise they might go bad depending on the climate where you live.
I hope this helps. Thank you.
Thorim asked:Hello dear Pastors,
Is there a mantra / visualisation specific to help to sleep? I try Bhaiṣajyaguru before going to sleep but it doesn't work for that
Thanks :)pastor answered:Dear Thorim,
Thanks for your question. Getting good sleep is very important. Medicine Buddha mantra is good for this, but should be recited very softly and slowly. Perhaps you are chanting too fast. You can try using it again to sleep, but focus on the sound of the mantra that you are making while you recite. Another mantra you can try is Dorje Shugden's mantra. Many people have tried it when their sleep is disturbed and it helps.
Another thing you can try is breathing meditation or even Nine-Round Breathing before you sleep, you can learn more here: https://www.kechara.com/how-to-practise-nine-round-breathing-meditation/
You can also read and try the methods on this article. Tsem Rinpoche advised this for students who had trouble sleeping as the general advice was very good and people found it really helpful https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/current-affairs/10-sleep-mistakes-and-their-solutions.html
There are tecnhiques and visualisations used during sleep, but those are actually meditational techniques unique to higher tantric practice. They are not specifically for being able to get to sleep or having sound sleep, etc.
I hope this helps.
Tshulthrim yoezer asked:Why did Buddha diedpastor answered:Dear Tshulthrim Yoezer,
Thank you for your question. This is due to the nature of Samsara. Any one who is born will have to die. Anything that comes into existence will one day have to stop existing.
As the Buddha took birth as a human, he need to give up his body and pass away. But because the Buddha was enlightened, this is not the same thing that happens to us. He became enlightened under the Bodhi Tree in Bodhgaya, but he was still in his human body, and so he had to pass away. His passing away is known as the Maha Parinirvana of the Buddha.
I hope this answers your question.
Don asked:Hi pastor
I accidentally stepped on my mala. Can it still be use ??😥😥pastor answered:Dear Don,
Yes you can still use it, it was an accident. It's not ruined or anything like that. You can continue to use it normally.
If you would like to, you can hold it over some incense smoke to purify it while reciting OM AH HUNG three times, and the next time you engage in mantra recitation or your daily sadhana, recite the mala blessing mantra seven times and blow on your mala before using it. The mantra is: OM RUTSIRA MANI PRAWA TAYA HUNG. That will increase the merits you generate from each mantra you recite while using your mala for that day.
The mala blessing mantra can be done daily. In fact that is why it is included at the beginning of all of our prayers here in Kechara.
Hope this helps. Thank you.

Nana asked:Hello Pastors!
Thank you so much for your answers.
Therefore, may i ask if we can practice or perform Drugchuma ritual without initiation?
If ones who are face with various obstacles and how's they know which Dharmapala is appropriate for them since they haven't a Guru or without Guru nearby.
Thank you so much. pastor answered:Dear Nana,
You can find the text for the Drugchuma puja here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/kalarupa.html. However the ritual is usually only practiced by those with initiation or have permission from their gurus to practice without initiation. And it is a very long puja if done individually. Typically it is done with four or more people, as there is a section that has to be repeated many times. You also need to know how to set out the offerings and make the tormas, which is complicated in itself.
In the above article however, is a short prayer to Kalarupa and his mantra. Those can be done by anyone. If you feel a connection to Kalarupa, you can use that prayer and mantra daily. You should set up an altar with offerings to Kalarupa. Make offerings daily and engage in the prayer and mantra recitation to create a connection with him.
Generally, here in Kechara, following the advice of Tsem Rinpoche, everyone engages in the practice of Dorje Shugden as he is our main Dharma Protector. Sometimes people will engage in other Dharma Protector practices in addition to the daily sadhana known as the Diamond Path: https://www.vajrasecrets.com/products/diamond-path.
You can read more about his practice on many articles on this blog. If you feel a particular connection or affinity with other enlightened Dharma Protectors, you can of course practice those as long as the prayers are available to those who do not have any required initiations or permissions from their guru. Both Dorje Shugden and Kalarupa are very good Dharma Protectors to pray to.
I hope this helps.

Great idea now we can download and print high-resolution images of the Enlightened Beings and Buddhas absolutely free. Those days its difficult to get it with modern technology its possible printing out and we can put beautiful Buddha images on our altar. Looking at those images is a blessing indeed awesome.
All thanks to our Guru .
Thank you Rinpoche .
Dharma is the highest gift. It’s a result of merits – both merits and Dharma are the path all beings walk – and I have the feeling many practitioners are scary of losing merits due anger which is so common in the world and many Buddhist teachers are very rigorous about, which can alien intention, and then confusion can make scared. To have a small shrine and make offerings extremely encourages and stabilizes, which enables progress along the path, and just like with reciting mantras, making offerings it’s funny and empowers positive thinking as opposed to conflicting emotions and unruly states of mind. With many offerings even just mentally the end result will be auspicious, have no doubt, as it is written: people with Faith in the Buddha’s teaching should make offerings with incense and flowers. So, sandalwood is very enriching but the more auspicious and blessed the substances the more auspicious and blessed the results and the fortune of prospering along the path. SINCER THANKS TO TSEM RINPOCHE AND THE BUDDHIST SANGHA.
Hi,
The images which I have printed can’t be replaced for an entire great cycle of teachings.
Perfect Ten in number, each is complete and flawless.
What is superior is the Buddhist path and these images are authentic in every way.
These ten are:
– Shakyamuni, Maitreya, Atisha
– Lama Tsongkhapa with Five deities and Three protectors
– Lama Tsongkhapa with Maitreya and Vajrapani
– Guru Rinpoche, Tsongkhapa, Dorje Shugden
– Thousand armed Chenrezig
– Vajrasattva
– Medicine Buddha’s
– Lama Tsongkhapa with conch shell
– Vajrakilaya
– Yamantaka I
Having a good quality correct images of the various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas is hard to find those days. But now Kechara had produced beautiful high-resolution images for us to print out for our home. It’s a blessing have a print out images of Buddha in our home. Looking through these images is amazing, simply beautiful having us get connected to them
Thank you Rinpoche and team for the effort…..with much appreciation.
I couldnt download image.
Hello Kechara!
Thank you so much for these sensational images and I have definitely downloaded a lot of them including Lama Tsongkhapa, Arya Tara, Heruka, Yamantaka, Dorje Shugden, Gyenze, Vajrayogini and Chenrezig and have greatly appreciated it. I’ve even used them in my own blog posts about these great enlightened Buddha’s and currently am using it for Arya Tara.
I am aware that the late H.E Tsem Rinpoche passed away into clear light two years ago which means that I could never thank him for having allowed everyone to downloaded these beautiful Buddha images for their use.
But I can never thank him and Kechara enough for this.
🙏

Dear Milaine,
There is a section of this blog called Ask the Pastors (https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/ask-the-pastors) where you can post questions that the Pastors will answer.
Alternatively, you can email frontdesk@kechara.com and ask to be put in contact with a Pastor who can answer your question. Many of us pastors are also on facebook, you can search for us online. I hope this helps.
Dear Milaine,
May I know what type of question is it regarding, perhaps I can direct you where to ask the question.
In general, if you have questions that need spiritual advises, you can go to the “Ask The Pastors” section here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/ask-the-pastors. You can post as anonymous, and you will see the reply being posted in the same section.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you Rinpoche for making so many free Buddha images online. I love this section so much because i can download many images when i need to send some Buddha image to my friend.
It is very difficult for people in certain region to get Buddha images to put on their altar. So this post and blog provide the free images for them to download. It is very beneficial.
Thank you
