嘉杰刚坚仁波切述说詹杜固仁波切点滴

GangchenRinpoche-1

我第一次遇到尊贵的刚坚仁波切是在尼泊尔。那次真是一次巧遇,完全没有预料到。那时,我和一位出家人住一起,他告诉我他的上师是多么的不可思议,以及他的上师将要到尼泊尔来。他问我是否要去见他的上师。我和他说好第二天一起起床然后一起去。当晚,我们一起入睡,但是到了第二天早上,当我七点钟醒来准备和他一起去吃早饭,然后一起去见他上师的时候……我怎么也找不到我的这位朋友!我到处找他,但他就像消失了一样找不到了。他肯定是把我丢下,自己一个人去见他的上师了!

在那种情况下我无计可施。那时,我们都没有手机,没有电邮,没有WhatsApp或手机短信,所以我没有办法联络他。我也不知道他的去向,我甚至都不知道他的上师住哪里或者在哪个方位。那时我心想:“等你回来看我怎么对付你”。总之,后来我走在加德满都的主要旅游区泰美尔,远远地看到一辆出租车向我驶来。我没办法看清楚谁在车子里面,但不知道怎么的,我就知道我要拦住这辆车。随着出租车的驶进,我看到前座坐着留着浓密胡子的一个人。我拦停了出租车,然后直步走到前排的座位,车窗摇了下来,里面一个留着浓密胡子的僧人问我:“你是谁?”他的声音明亮又清澈。我回答道:“我是丹增梭巴,我不知道你是谁,但我知道我必须要见你!”那时我还没有被认证是转世仁波切,我的名字还是丹增梭巴,是至尊达赖尊者给我取的出家名字。

Taken in 1990, at Gangchen Labrang in Chabhil, Nepal. Gangchen Rinpoche spontaneously told me to give an impromptu teaching to his students, with no preparation whatsoever. Just talk on the spot. I was stumped but somehow gave a teaching. The whole time, Gangchen Rinpoche sat on the throne behind me listening and watching. When I was done, Gangchen Rinpoche said, "Good good!" and that was it. Over the years, Gangchen Rinpoche has done this many, many more times. On reflection, I think it was Gangchen Rinpoche's way of preparing me for what I would be doing in the future.

这张照片拍摄于1990年,在尼泊尔查巴西的刚坚拉章。当时刚坚仁波切很自发地在我毫无准备的情况下,指示我给他的弟子即兴讲法,即刻当场讲法。我很为难,但还是讲了。在我讲法的整个过程中,刚坚仁波切坐在我身后的法座上看着我讲法。当我讲法结束后,刚坚仁波切就说:“好,好!”。就这样。多年来,刚坚仁波切这样做了很多次。现在想来,那是刚坚仁波切在用他的方式,为我日后的事业做准备。

那位僧人回道:“好吧!你去这个地方,我们在那里见面。再见!”,就这样,我们的第一次会面就这样结束了。随着出租车开过,我向后座看了看,看看还有谁。我看到我的朋友和几个洋人挤在一起,还假装没有看到我!我瞪着他,心想:“你等着瞧,你等着”。我很生气!我们本来计划好一起去拜见他的上师,可是他一个人溜走了,也没说他去了哪里,或者要去哪里,更没有留下只言片语,比如说一声或留张便条之类的!今日回望过去,这小插曲发生得非常有趣,因为他真的就那样消失无踪,事情就真的那样发生了,我也就那么巧地遇到刚坚仁波切坐的那台车。然而当时我很生气。事后我问他到底怎么一回事,他却假装什么都没有发生过!他带着他浓厚的法国口音说:“你那时还在睡觉。”我说“不,我们说好了是七点钟。我七点起床后就在等你,但是你已经走了,也不和我说一声。”当然,他只能说些打圆场的话,说我已见到他的上师,所以一切都妥当啦!哈哈哈。

话说回来,那位坐在前座、留着浓密大胡子的僧人居然是尊贵的刚坚仁波切,他是当代第一流的治疗师。1987年,当我抵达刚坚仁波切的住处时,仁波切宣布我是一位“杜固”(或译作“祖古”)或者是一位转世上师。在那之前我从未见过他,我们也互不相识。但他作为一名大上师这样形容我。实际上,在我被正式认证之前,刚坚仁波切是最先几位认出我是“杜固”的其中一位。在第一眼见到我后,他就开门见山地告诉我,我是何者何者的转世,并要我把那些话转告甘丹萨济寺的住持。我毕恭毕敬地回答仁波切说:“我不能这样做,仁波切。我没办法这样告诉住持,我会被人们当成笑话。”

仁波切说:“不不不,去,你去告诉住持,说是刚坚仁波切这么讲的。”我是真心不想去。你能想象我走进住持的办事处然后跟他说那些话吗?真是个不知天高地厚的年轻人。但仁波切总是这样说呀说的,到最后,他几乎是用命令的口吻让我照做。我别无选择。我必须听从我上师的指示,即使我实在不想跟寺院住持说那些话。我回到寺院对住持说,“我是何者何者的转世,刚坚仁波切这样说的,并且说我应该行坐床。”住持仔细地打量着我,几乎是眯着眼睛盯着我,看看我是不是在开玩笑。然后他挥手要我离开,叫我继续去学习。

后来,这事就如刚坚仁波切所说的那样,我确实是一位转世上师,后来也被认证,在甘丹萨济寺行过坐床仪式,最后第十四世达赖尊者确认了我的转世身份。那时我想:“刚坚仁波切是怎么知道的?谁告诉他的?没人知道,我也不知道。”我多次亲眼目睹了刚坚仁波切的神通和超凡能力,这件事的发生只是我首次的见证。刚坚仁波切有许多的特殊能力,我非常确定他可以亲见本尊并能和本尊直接说话。他常常都能亲见本尊,有时他会不小心说漏嘴,在他意识到自说漏嘴并停止说话前,他会告诉我们一些。

刚坚仁波切(也被称做“喇嘛刚坚”)以他巨大的疗愈力量为众所周知。他的转世传承——从古印度大成就者达日嘎巴开始,都一直是很有名的疗愈大师。那些获刚坚仁波切赐疗愈修持法的人们是非常幸运的,因为拥有一个健康、强壮的体魄和长寿能让我们不受干扰地修持圣教。我听说很多得了顽疾的人都在刚坚仁波切的治疗法下获得帮助,甚至是从顽疾中痊愈了。

GangchenRinpoche-4

1994年,我在自己位于甘丹寺的住处无比荣幸地招待了尊贵的刚坚仁波切。

如今,刚坚仁波切主要长驻意大利,但在世界各地都设有疗愈中心。如上所说,人们处处可听闻有关刚坚仁波切神通力的故事。好比说,当年仁波切在尼泊尔建立道场时,原本无水源之地在刚坚仁波切现身后突然涌现喷泉。直到今日,这个喷泉依然为整个道场提供水源。他们用这个喷泉的水,并根据经典上所记载的那样用新鲜的山林药材制药。仁波切的药丸非常有名,特别是治疗皮肤病方面。除此之外,他们也设有免付费诊所提供卫生保健,为贫困儿童提供教育机会,还有客房,以及造藏式家具和制藏香的工场。

近年来,刚坚仁波切致力于推广藏医药,特别是藏医药与西方医学规律的结合。同时,刚坚仁波切也是“雅素密续自愈法”的持有者。这些自愈法的修持依据佛陀的教义,但是刚坚仁波切利用当代人所能理解和接受的方式推广这些古老的修持法。当然,毫无悬念地,这个方法非常成功,并且加速了一些疾病的疗愈速度,比如某些癌症。

在刚坚仁波切开始传授这些修持法之前,仁波切首先透过神谕请示多杰雄登护法。多杰雄登护法表示推广这些修持法将会利益很多人,这也是为什么刚坚仁波切这些年致力于这么做。刚坚仁波切对多杰雄登护法非常有信心,同样的,在降神时,多杰雄登护法也会表现出对刚坚仁波切的喜爱。刚坚仁波切对多杰雄登的忠诚致使他多年来被藏人行政中央视作眼中钉,只因他拒绝服从禁令,拒绝放弃他的修持,甚至还不断地回到藏地弘法。

刚坚仁波切也是非常有名的作明佛母(咕噜咕列佛母)、具光佛母(摩利支天佛母)、时轮金刚、大威德金刚、胜乐金刚及金刚瑜伽母(还有许多其他密法)的密法修持者,更是构建这些本尊坛城的大师。也如上所说的,刚坚仁波切与多杰雄登护法关系非常亲近,对这位大护法也非常有信心。因此,资粮具足之人可向这位具格上师请求多杰雄登护法托命灌顶。

因此,就是这位具高证量的大师告知我是一位转世上师,还指示我应该出一本传记。又一次,刚坚仁波切坚持要我完成这一件事,就像这些年我做的很多事,都是他坚持的结果。这些事最后要么是真的,要么就是能饶益众人的,因为刚坚仁波切的发心就是饶益众生。在这之前,我从未有为自己写传记的念头。

GangchenRinpoche-11

因此,当刚坚仁波切指示我出一本传记时,我非常恭敬地婉拒了,说道:“我一介凡夫,故无意撰写。因为通常只有那些非凡之人,有意思的人或伟人才写传记。”然而,刚坚仁波切一再坚持,和我说了一遍又一遍,我必须写,因为它将利益无数人。最后,我还是让步了,因为我不是那种跟上师辩论和争论不休的人。如果我上师说了要这么做,我就必须照做,不说二话,不提“如果”或“但是”二字。我真的不想对上师表现不敬。于是,在上师说的饶益他人的基础上,我答应了。这也是为什们我的弟子们在撰写我的传记,这是因为刚坚仁波切要我这么做。

这些年,我和刚坚仁波切关系很是亲近。我的团队曾多次走访意大利采访刚坚仁波切,也给仁波切带去我们在马来西亚这里的工作和活动的最新消息。在下面的文本中,刚坚仁波切说了一些关于我的事,还有他对我的印象等事。这些话来自于一位认识我很多很多年的人。如果要我述说跟刚坚仁波切共处时光的点滴,恐怕需要用上无数个小时的时间,因为我有幸能跟他(及其他几位上师)共处那么长的时间,而且刚坚仁波切还给了我的工作许多宝贵的建议。我要感谢刚坚仁波切的支持,甚至接受我弟子的求见和采访。

在今日这样的时代中,当嗔怒、贪婪及痛苦情绪这么强烈之时,人们极其需要像仁波切这样的圣者。祈愿尊贵的嘉杰刚坚仁波切健康、长寿,长时拥有资源来继续其伟业,疗愈众生的身心灵。

嘉杰刚坚仁波切专访

 

要点:

  1. 刚坚仁波切建议詹仁波切应该写传记,因为詹仁波切做了许多了不起的事业,而且他的生平故事也将会极大地饶益无数人及圣教。另外,詹仁波切幽默且生动的讲法方式将会利益圣教及无数人。现今人们都在痛苦中挣扎,他们想要快乐,因此,当他们在阅读时会去寻找对他们有益的信息。他们需要好的信息,这些信息会启发他们去做好事、善事。
  2. 刚坚仁波切建议传记应该反映出詹仁波切的许多不凡功德。詹仁波切是一位杰出的上师、“杜固”,拥有丰富的佛学知识之余,亦掌握现代生活的知识。由于詹仁波切不在寺院生活,和那些终身在寺院的上师相比,他的法业会增长更多,更会往好的方向弘扬开来。詹仁波切在马来西亚打下法业的根基是很不凡的,因为那里是他弘法的第一个地方。

  1. 传记的内容应该不仅包含事实,它还应该优美,易读,具有娱乐性,有诗意;同时,在讲述一些事件时,要有到位和深入的注解。读者会由此而获益。好比说,当我们阅读米勒日巴传记时,我们仿佛身临其境。詹仁波切的传记就应该像诗一样优美。传记应该包含詹仁波切的生平,包含他在寺院遭遇的困难等等。那么,读者才能从中受益,将他们从传记中所学习到的精神应用在日常及个人生活上,甚至实践在自己的佛法修行上。传记作者们也不应该想这是詹仁波切的最后一本传记,因为詹仁波切还年轻。传记应该还包括詹仁波切是怎么被认证为“杜固”的,詹仁波切是如何加入寺院的,以及他的前世等等。
  2. 他今世的事迹要比他前世的重要很多。传记应该包含詹仁波切对圣教的付出和奉献。比如詹仁波切是如何遇见并侍奉宋仁波切。虽然没有任何人告诉他这么做,但只要詹仁波切一有空余时间,他就去侍奉宋仁波切。这是一个圣者或一个不凡之人所展现的特征,具有极好的品质和宿世的佛缘。
  3. 就像悉达多乔达摩王子一样,詹仁波切对佛法的热情和奉献是很了不起的。因此,把詹仁波切如何把这样的热情和奉献转化成行动记录下来是很重要的。传记中还应该包含詹仁波切给其弟子的建议和教诲,还有当其弟子遭遇困难时,詹仁波切是如何帮助弟子的。
  4. 为了实修佛法,詹仁波切舍弃一切,只因他领悟佛法的殊胜和价值。他离开了在美国的家人和世俗生活,这些事迹不能被遗漏。詹仁波切的(养)父母对此感到不悦并且反对他的佛法修行,最后和他断绝关系。传记应该记载他对佛法修行的决心。事实上,要对父母尽孝道,没有什么比实修佛法来得更好了,因为实修佛法是安定生活的基础。
  5. 传记的目标读者可以是多元的,因为詹仁波切(的经历)只是叙述真相,并无掩盖任何事实。若佛陀所说:法教应该根据弟子的需求、根器、文化背景及弟子本身的心态而酌情考虑。这就是为什么我们有小乘,大乘和金刚乘,因为众生有相异的心态。故事要如实叙述,是真相就不应掩盖。传记作者要很谨慎、如实地叙述故事。

  1. 詹仁波切有来自于他前世的很强的佛法印记。他的一些功德或会比另一些耀眼,这将取决于其弟子的资粮、时间和地点。例如,詹仁波切非常慷慨且乐善好施。詹仁波切不仅付出爱心,还做法布施及无畏布施。由于前世的印记,詹仁波切很自然地持守清净戒律。詹仁波切今世所做的事业要比前世的重要很多。
  2. 詹仁波切所遭遇的困难是正面的,因为那些遭遇促使仁波切更努力地修行以证佛果。相比在年幼时得到认证,詹仁波切在较晚的时候才被认证为转世上师,利益是更大的。
  3. 由于詹仁波切的风格是非传统的,人们自然有诸多疑问。然而,人们的抱怨是无止境的,我们没办法一直顾虑。即使是佛陀释迦摩尼宗喀巴大师都有诋毁者。同时,融入你所处的社会又或不追随世俗都很重要,不管怎样,重要的是坚定地走你的道路,追随你的传承
  4. 刚坚仁波切对詹仁波切的弘法事业起了关键的推动作用。因为在詹仁波切的许多前世中,他在寺院完成了无数闭关,因此,现在是时候让詹仁波切传法了。
  5. 刚坚仁波切在给詹仁波切撰写的长寿祈愿文中提及詹仁波切的前世。詹仁波切在前世撰写了许多文本,但它们都只保留在藏族人和寺院群体中。因此,詹仁波切今世的事业要比前世的更宏伟,因为詹仁波切今世的事业将面向寺院群体以外的人。
  6. 詹仁波切非常明显的功德好比乐善好施,都应该撰入传记中。詹仁波切浑然天成地实修布施——财施、无畏施及法施。一位上师在他的行迹中都应圆满持守戒律。詹仁波切具足小乘、大乘及金刚乘上师之德相。
  7. 随着时间流逝,詹仁波切今世所扮演的角色会越发清晰。这不仅包括他做什么,他所取的方向,也取决于上师本身,以及弟子所积累的资粮及所造的机缘,这些都将影响詹仁波切事业的实现。詹仁波切的事业致力于创造和平世界及和谐生态。

GangchenRinpoche-10

  1. 作为一位生于台湾后来又在美国生活的藏族上师,其重要性是清晰的:藏人于这个时代在藏地以外的地区出生有其意义。然而,此一做法具副作用,比如:汉地有极多人需要圣教。刚坚仁波切预言詹仁波切的佛教事业将利益广大华人,不仅是身在中国的华人,还包括了全世界的华人。
  2. 刚坚仁波切述说詹仁波切小时候的艰难生活。由于一直以来詹仁波切的生活并不是安逸的,如此的经历促使仁波切能透过有别于平常的方式去利益人们。仁波切所遭遇的困难促使他从事现在的事业,究竟而言也会促使他证悟。
  3. 当詹仁波切第一次遇到刚坚仁波切时,他充满热忱,希求拜见和接受各处上师的开示。在刚坚仁波切的记忆中,詹仁波切从不跟他争论。然而,詹仁波切的所做出的反应或是受到了美国文化的影响。
  4. 詹仁波切的依师心非常坚定。詹仁波切对佛、法、僧三宝有巨大的信念和敬意。当詹仁波切和刚坚仁波切同游尼泊尔时,詹仁波切总是尽其所能帮助刚坚仁波切,体现出他对上师的依止心。詹仁波切的上师依止心是自然流露的,从不是因为习俗的关系。
  5. 詹仁波切在此生完成了很多的闭关。

    Since those days in school , I have heard of these Bermuda Triangle. Will get exicted hearing interesting stories of the mysteries of these area. The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is a region between Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico in the North Atlantic Ocean. Over the past several centuries, more than 50 ships and 20 planes have disappeared in the area. Recording to some researchers that a parallel universe exists in the Bermuda Triangle region, causing a time or space warp that sucks the objects around it into a parallel universe. Interesting. The Bermuda Triangle, known for its mysterious disappearances. In recent years there have been several incidents in the Bermuda Triangle that have captured media attention. Interesting,ships and airplanes that seemed to have disappeared without a trace which has earned it the name ‘Devil’s Triangle. Since then nothing extraordinary has happened in the last 60 years. Some had mentioned that there are large deep ocean craters on the sea floor of the Bermuda Triangle. Could it be possible no one knows but there’s also others theory as well. Scientists still cannot solved these mysteries disappearance, were there the existing of aliens or something else.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Cindy Hew for this great sharing.

    Visiting Dorje Shugden’s grotto in Kechara Forest Retreat is a must see place . A beautiful hugh statue of Dorje Shugden was installed ,Rinpoche also placed hundreds of Holy mantra stones, around Dorje Shugden grotto, for everyone to do circumambulation around Dorje Shugden. So as visitors could able to do candles offerings as well. We Malaysians are so fortunate to learn about Dorje Shugden if not beacause of Tsem Rinpoche. Dorje Shugden has tremendous power to help us helps us in whatever way we need in our resources and in our spiritual journey. He is an emanation of an enlightened being and that he manifested in a worldly form. As an emanation of Manjushri, Dorje Shugden has the ability to open our minds to universal wisdom.There’s so many benefits when we rely on Dorje Shugden sincerely. A wish-fulfilling Shrine that will help everyone regardless of race and religion.
    Thank you Rinpoche .

    Interesting blog .Chinese folklore features a rich variety of ghosts, monsters, and other supernatural creatures. According to traditional beliefs a ghost is the spirit form of a person who has died. Ghosts are typically malevolent and will cause harm to the living if provoked. Many Chinese folk beliefs about ghosts have been adopted into the mythologies. But centuries of physics research have found nothing like this exists, which is why physicists say ghosts can’t exist. And so far, there is no proof that any part of a person can continue on after death. Ghosts or spirits do exist in this world. There’s several myths still widely circulated even there’s a decrease in rituals and rites. Chinese communities all over the world use a variety of methods to protect themselves from ghosts, or whatever. Spirits and ghost are everywhere even day time its only we can’t see. As long as they are not disturbed ,its alright. Doing prayers and dedicated to them is the best choice. In Buddhism when we takes refuge in the Buddha, practises the Dharma and supports the Sangha, we are protected from many different types of spirit. Tibetan Buddhism is one of the most powerful to counter all forms of ghostly and spirit disturbances.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting blog.

    Reading this post again regarding this huge Buddha statue in Thimpu, Bhutan. Construction began in 2006, as in the post, it was completed only in 2015. The completed work is one of the largest Buddha Statue in the world located in the southern mountains of Bhutan. At 177 feet (54 m) this gigantic Shakyamuni Buddha statue houses over one hundred thousand smaller Buddha statues which are made of bronze and gilded in gold. It has become a must-visit tourist destination in Thimphu Valley, Bhutan. Having a Huge Buddha Statue has benefited thousands of people just looking at it . Merely by looking is a blessing. Would love to visit this stunning Buddha statue to see for myself .

    Yading, Daocheng County is a county of western Sichuan Province, China. A visit to Daocheng Yading is worth visit.

    It was H E Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche that first recognised our Guru Kyabje Tsem Rinpoche as a tulku back in 1987. Lama Gangchen Tulku Rinpoche was an important Tibetan Italian lama of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. He was the last generation of lamas from the ‘old Tibet’. At a young age he was recognised as the reincarnation of the lama healer Kachen Sapen. He was a direct disciple of the greatest lamas of the Gelugpa school of the twentieth century, such as Kyabje Trijang Dorje Chang, Kyabje Zong Rinpoche, who taught him Tibetan medicine, healing methods and astrology. He worked tirelessly as a spiritual teacher and healer. He travelled tremendously throughout India, Nepal, Sikkim, Europe and finally settled in Italy. Lama Gangchen has travelled extensively ,providing healing and gave teachings worldwide. He has also led many pilgrimages to some of the most important holy places of different religious and spiritual denominations in the world. He founded numerous centres all over the world. Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche has worked tirelessly for many decades to promote world peace and had received many awards and recognitions for his work. Lama Gangchen will remain in the hearts of all those who met him as a teacher of great love and profound wisdom.
    Years back our Guru Kyabje Tsem Rinpoche did sent students to Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche ’s centre in Albagnano, Italy with many offerings and updating projects of Kechara as well.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing

    nteresting read of how a common nomad boy became an Oracle Lama. Reading the biography of a selfless Dorje Shugden Oracle Lama again had me understand more. Venerable Choyang Kuten Lama became a renowned oracle, who had contributed greatly in Tibet’s history. Choyang Kuten Lama was a respected oracle for a manifestation of enlightened Dharma Protectors Dorje Shugden, and was told he would be very beneficial to beings in the future. During the Chinese invasion he remained in Tibet although the situation was tense, helping countless people escape safely to India. As the situation worsened in Tibet in 1959 Kuten Lama escaped life not only as an oracle, but also contributing in various ways. Giving the Tibetan community lengthy advice and even Dharma teachings. He also served his countrymen in difficult times in Tibet and in refugee camps in India regardless of the tradition or school of Tibetan Buddhism. He raised funds for monks’ quarters in many monasteries including Gaden, Drepung as well as other Nyingma and Sakya monasteries.

He is much revered for his contributions to Buddhist learning and for his reforms of Mongolian Buddhism. He was best known for his intricate and elegant Buddhist sculptures.

    Due to the Dorje Shugden controversy many practitioners are still oppressed due to their choice of religion. Yet there are complaisant, and obliging people too who barely understand the situation, poorly informed of the issue and behave in a way they knew what’s going on regarding the ban on Dorje Shugden. There are many good bits of wisdom and worthy words in this article. Well-intentioned people make mistakes, lots of them. Mistakes must be expected and being held accountable for. Oppression will still exist no matter how compassionate sharing with others. If we are willing to risk making mistakes we can still do something. We must constantly try to find out ways to use our privilege to push forward the voice of the oppressed. Do not allow ourselves to be immobilized by lack of knowledge.

    Inspiring read of Scott Neeson a most influential person in the movie industry,walked away from Hollywood to start a charity. Left everything he had built,been famous, wealthy and living a life of luxury for the sake of those children living in the slump in Cambodia. He decided to leave Hollywood behind and moved to Cambodia and founded Cambodian Children’s Fund . It was on a trip to Phnom Penh, Scott saw hundreds of children and their families living and working on the Steung Meanchey garbage dump, one of the most toxic environments. It was a moment that changed his life, helping thousands of vulnerable children and their families escape a world of forced labour, child trafficking and desperate poverty into safety and independence. From being a self-serving person, to an extremely giving person truly inspiring. Scott has been living in Phnom Penh where his journey still captivates, inspires and bewilders people from all over the world.

    Vairochana Shugden, pacifying form of Dorje Shugden is revered by many for his ability to purify one’s negative karma, pacify natural disasters and calamities. And is especially efficacious for overcoming illness and disease as well. Shize or Vairochana Shugden is the emanation of Dorje Shugden who embodies the enlightened activity of pacification. Shize’s practice is very effective in helping us to receive prophecies or develop clairvoyance. Shize’s practice is excellent for calming ourselves down and increasing our merits. His practice results in our minds becoming much happier and being alleviated from depressions. Wow we can also rely on Shize’s practice to overcome serious illnesses. It can also be engaged where the area, there are a lot of natural disasters. On the whole its practice has many benefits. When we do the practice correctly, with good motivation, Shize will bless and guide us.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great teachings on Shize who is a direct emanation of Dorje Shugden who is none other than the enlightened Manjushri.

    Interesting article. I never thought meditation can help oneself quit smoking without consumption of medication or drugs. According to an article in The Buddhist Review, not smoking is a result of developing calm and reducing clinging through authentic Dharma practice. Mindfulness-based interventions can help people learn to pay attention to and work with negative feelings, cravings, and other symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. By focusing on our breathing the mind becomes calm and single-pointed. Many are aware of the health risks and addictive properties of nicotine that are harmful. Buddhism is very effective to inspire transformation in people. Good read of how a Yale psychiatrist bringing together neuroscience and Buddhist practices to help people overcome their addictions. Thank you Dr. Judson for the great research work.

    Trode-khangsar a 400 year old Dorje Shugden Temple in Lhasa, had me having great memories. Having a privileged to visit it in May 2019,with my Dharma brothers and sisters. It such a Holy Temple with great stories behind it . Located in Lhasa, that is over 300 years old which is dedicated to the controversial protector deity Dorje Shugden. The Temple is a Gelugpa monastery of Tibetan Buddhism, built in the 17th century by the Fifth Dalai Lama. The Great 5th Dalai Lama composed a praise to Dorje Shugden and created a statue to honour and recognize him as a Dharma protector as apology. Trode Khangsar itself is now registered as a national heritage memorial. That’s awesome as more and more people will get to know about this Holy temple. Merely by looking at those fading murals and Holy statutes is a blessing for all who came to visit this Trode-khangsar. A place worth visiting.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

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.
    7 years ago
    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
