How Much Do You Know About Hair?

Hair is predominantly made up of Dead Cells. As new cells die inside our scalp, they are pushed to the end of the hair follicle and emerge as a compressed matter called Keratin. Tiny blood vessels at the base of every follicle feed the hair root to keep it growing.

But once the hair is at the skin’s surface, the cells within the strand of hair aren’t alive anymore. Hence, hair should be well cared for if optimal style and condition needs to be achieved.

 

What Type of Hair Do You Have?

Hair is usually categorised according to its thickness and texture.

Hair thickness can be categorised as fine, medium or thick.

Hair texture can be categorised as straight, wavy, curly or kinky.

Understanding your hair type will help you manage it well. Different types of hair need different forms of care. This is with respect to both hygienic care as well as aesthetic purposes.

With regards to hygiene, the general questions are how often should you wash your hair? The optimal answer depends on the type of scalp and lifestyle of the person.

 

Types of Hair Textures and Their Care

 

Straight Hair

This is the most common hair texture and hairstyle. There are different types of straight hair.

How to Identify:

hairb

  • Type 1 is completely flat and has little or no body. It has difficulty holding a curl. Common with Asian people.
  • Type 2 is straight but can hold a curl. It sporadically bends here and there and turns in at the ends.
  • Type 3 is generally straight but has more bends and when dried gives a tousled look without the use of any tools. This type of hair tends to be thicker and coarser.

Common Problems:
In general, straight hair is flat and limp. It is a challenge to make it voluminous as it does not hold volume.

Advantages:
Sleek and glossy look. For those who like the straight and flat look, this is the perfect wash and go hairstyle.

Care Tips:
Straight hair can be cared for using a mild shampoo. Heavy moisture/oil-based shampoos are not suitable as they will further flatten the hair texture and look. For long straight hair, conditioner on the ends is sufficient. The hair should be kept as neutral as possible in order to enhance its lightness and shine. During styling, if curling tongs and heavy blowdrying is involved, a heat protection product must be used to protect the hair from heat damage.

Style Tips:
hairAStraight flat hair is not suitable for those with a round or chubby face as the flatness will emphasise the roundness of the face. In this case, volume must be added to the hairstyle to compliment the round face. Volume can be added via skilful cutting; otherwise a perm will be the best solution. Colour highlights may be added to give the illusion of volume.

 

Wavy Hair

Wavy hair gives the most natural look. Wavy hair also comes in different categories.

How to Identify:

hair 0.8

  • Type 1 wavy hair is loose and non-frizzy with light S-shaped curls with a beach look. It is easily weighed down by styling products.
  • Type 2 wavy hair has slightly tighter waves which are clearly defined and may look frizzy if there is a lack of moisture. This type can be controlled by texturisers and gels.
  • Type 3 wavy hair has tight waves that form loose spirals. It is generally frizzy and bouncy. This type of hair needs more moisture. Control with gel products will give optimal results.

Common Problems:
Frizziness will set in if the hair lacks moisture or is not looked after correctly.

Care Tips:
An average moisture-based shampoo will be the best for wavy hair and conditioning is necessary too. Texturise the hair after washing with another light to medium-weight leave-in moisturiser to keep it conditioned and glossy. For longer hair, do a weekly hair mask to ensure good levels of moisture to keep the waves healthy and natural looking.

Style Tips:
hair 0.9This hair type is usually light and bouncy with natural volume. Short, medium or long styles can be easily created. Always use some leave-in products like moisturisers and hair oils. Using a diffuser to dry the hair will also give it a nice natural tousled look. Otherwise, blow dry using large round brushes to give it a smoother voluminous look.

 

Curly Hair

How do we differentiate curly hair from wavy hair? These two terms are often used interchangeably but in actual fact, they are different in terms of curl tightness, thickness and texture. Curly hair will have a tighter S-shape which holds a curl pattern even when unstyled.

How to Identify:
Curly hair consists of different degrees of curliness. It ranges from wavy to loose to tight curls and can even get kinky and frizzy.

Common Problems:
Curls usually impart a somewhat messy feel. However for those who like volume, you will have an abundance of it. Curly hair is greatly affected by the weather as well, predominantly by the moisture levels in the atmosphere. In high humidity areas, curly hair will be more frizzy.

Care Tips:
In general, curly hair needs a lot of moisturising especially at the ends. Opt for sulphate free shampoos to give the best curl results. A satin sleep cap or pillowcase will also protect your precious curls all night long from getting frizzy or flat.

Those with curly hair should not use hairbrushes. Instead, use a wide-toothed comb or just comb your fingers through your hair.

Caring for curly hair can be quite interesting as it may not follow the norm. Certain types of curly hair cannot be washed too often with shampoo. There’s a concept known as “Co Washing” which means using conditioner to wash the hair instead of shampoo, which can produce beautifully nourished curls. Conditioner does contain a very small amount of detergent.

However, if the scalp is suffering from oiliness, dandruff or sensitivity, co washing is not recommended. In this case, one can alternate co washing with normal washing as the scalp needs to be clean to avoid further problems. Co washing conditioners are available in the market.

Style Tips:
Curly hair is better suited to longer styles if one is not keen to spend time on styling the hair. Alternatively it is nice in a tight crop style. Otherwise, it has to be styled to look fashionable and orderly. There is a wide choice of equipment and gadgets in the market to help style curly hair; examples are straightening irons, curling irons, electrical curling brushes, hot rollers, etc.

Use a diffuser when blowdrying curly hair. For best results, leave the hair to dry naturally. In addition, twisting the hair in small clumps will keep it less frizzy. Use water soluble gels or a light mousse to give it control and hold.

Types of Scalp Conditions

Oily Scalp

If you have an oily scalp, wash daily with a shampoo that will clean your scalp well but not strip off all the nutrients from your hair. Oily scalps are caused by excessive sebum from overactive sebaceous glands. If the oil is not properly cleaned off, it will clog up the hair follicles, weaken them and result in hair loss.

Oily scalps are common amongst men. Ladies with long hair also tend to have a combination of oily scalps and dry ends. Oily scalps are more common in those living in hot climates.

If you have a combination of an oily scalp and dry hair, take special note to use a shampoo for oily scalps and combine it with a conditioner that is suitable for dry ends. Extra leave-in conditioner can also be used on the ends to give it more moisture and prevent split ends.

Those with oily scalps will struggle to maintain the form or shape of their hairstyle, as the top of the head will generally look flat and “wet”. Hence, choose a hairstyle that has a shorter top, opt for a fringe or bangs to provide volume. The hair of those with oily scalps is good for colouring, perming and other chemical processes, as the sebum provides a good layer of protection and the hair is less likely to be damaged by the chemicals. Hence, if your top is flat and oily, do a perm to give it a natural root lift, to enhance your hairstyle and overall look.

Flaky Scalp

Flaky/scaly scalp can be categorised as Seborrheic dermatitis, Scalp psoriasis or Eczema. The general term is dandruff. The underlying cause could be the immune system triggering excessive growth of cells, a fungal or bacteria infection, or just simply an allergic reaction, all of which can result in redness, itching and flakiness.

Flaky scalps can occur on both dry and oily scalps. If the scalp is very dry, use an anti-dandruff shampoo that can exfoliate the flakes and wash your hair at least three times a week. In some cases, one may feel sore or sensitive after the exfoliation. Apply a soothing scalp conditioner to calm the soreness and provide a balance to the scalp.

If the scalp is oily, exfoliation and deep cleansing are necessary and daily washing is recommended. Excessive sebum and flakes on the scalp can hamper its growth and health, resulting in hair loss and unhealthy hair.

Flaky scalp can be embarrassing as the flakes may fall onto your clothes and give you an unpleasant look. Hence many are shy to admit that they are having dandruff. Dandruff isn’t caused by poor hygiene, although it may be more obvious if you don’t wash your hair regularly. Stress and cold weather may also make it worse.

Dandruff may disappear after treatment and correct usage of shampoos and anti-dandruff products. However, it may often reemerge again every now and then depending on various conditions. This type of scalp situation is difficult to cure and a ritual for prevention must be done regularly i.e. use anti-dandruff products the moment you see the flakes.

Hair Loss

Hair loss is another serious concern. There are many reasons that can result in hair loss. It is primarily related to ageing and genetics. Hair loss can also occur due to hormonal imbalances, stress, childbirth, burns, injuries and X-rays. Medical conditions such as cancer, lupus, thyroid, diabetes, iron deficiency and auto-immune diseases as well as eating disorders and low protein diets can also lead to hair loss. Hair loss can also arise from an unhealthy scalp due to oiliness and dandruff.

For men, the most common form of hair loss is male pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness is related to the genes and male sex hormones. It usually begins with a receding hairline at the temples to form an “M” shape with thinning hair on the crown. During the initial stages, a skilful haircut can help to camouflage the baldness. Male pattern baldness can set in as early as the teenage years though it is more common in adults, with the likelihood increasing with age. Genetics also plays a big role. Men who have close relatives with male pattern baldness are at higher risk. This is particularly true when their relatives are on the maternal side of the family.

On average, we have 100,000 to 150,000 hairs on our heads. Each day, an average of 100 hairs will fall out. We may not notice this as they do not all fall out at once but throughout the day. So how do you know if your hair is falling or not? The most simple test is to run your hands through your hair. If your hair comes out easily without any tugging and happens each time you run your fingers through your hair, then most likely you are having some form of hair loss. You can also go to the professionals to have your hair and scalp scanned. If the results show weak follicles and thinning strands, then likely there is hair loss too.

However, some types of hair loss are temporary especially those related to childbirth and hormonal changes. Caring for hair loss with appropriate products can stop the hair fall and in some cases, rejuvenate new growth too. For very serious balding, hair transplants via grafting can also be done.

Sensitive Scalp

Many people experience sensitivity, tenderness or soreness on their scalps. This may or may not result in flakes. This sensitive scalp condition can result from stress, changes in climate, changes in water content in different countries, hormonal imbalances and allergies. The scalp becomes reddish and feels sore or sensitive to the touch or products. This is usually short term and the scalp will normalise with time. However, during the period when it is sore, we can use a scalp calming shampoo, conditioner and scalp tonic to ease the sensitivity. Chemical processes like colours or perms should be avoided if the scalp is in a sensitive state, otherwise the condition will worsen.

Other Scalp Conditions

Some of the rarer scalp conditions that you may experience are ringworm (more common in children), cysts and folliculitis (inflammation of the hair follicles due to products or shaving which will result in little pus bumps like pimples). All these conditions can be treated by the doctor.

Lice contamination in hair can also occur in children or adults. The symptoms include itchiness, soreness in serious cases, a ticklish sensation on the scalp and the appearance of lice eggs (white substances on the scalp and hair). Some may not realise they have lice contamination until six weeks into the infection. Lice infestations are highly contagious via sharing of personal belongings like hair brushes or combs, hair clips, hats, pillows and sheets. Hair lice can be treated with anti-lice solutions that come with a special lice comb. This is easily purchased from a chemist/pharmacy. Family members of the infected person should also treat their hair as a preventive measure.

More Factors

Other factors which affect the scalp and hair are:

  • Lifestyle: If you live a very active outdoor lifestyle, then a daily wash will be necessary to keep your hair clean. Otherwise it is good enough to wash your hair three to four times a week.
  • Health: Medicines and drugs may effect the condition of your scalp and hair.
  • Age: Common hair challenges resulting from ageing are greying and hair loss.
  • Chemical Treatments: If you often subject your hair to colors, perms and straightening processes, then extra care rituals have to be observed. For instance, use appropriate shampoos, conditioners, texturisers, masks, heat protection products and scalp tonics that are suitable to optimise your style. Regular in-salon tailor-made rituals give great results too.

 

More Care Tips

It’s common to spend more time and money on our face and less on our hair. This concept should change. An effective routine should be set for caring for the scalp and hair. A detailed scalp and hair diagnosis can be done in a professional salon and a customised ritual can be recommended to clients to guide them on how to care for their scalp and hair. Hair plays a big part in achieving the perfect look! It is after all our crowning glory.

  • Choose a shampoo that suits your scalp condition. If you have a normal scalp, then choose a shampoo that is suitable for your hair type.
  • Avoid using very hot water to wash your hair.
  • If your scalp is dry, condition it with a scalp conditioner or scalp masque. If your scalp is oily or if your hair is falling, do not condition your scalp.
  • Lessen the usage of high heat tools when styling your hair. In particular, do not use them on a regular basis without using heat protection products.
  • Hair generally needs conditioning especially on longer lengths. If your hair is chemically treated with a colour, perm or straightener, extra care needs to be put in to ensure it is healthy and glossy.
  • If you intend to do more than one chemical process, schedule them in the correct sequence. The general rule is to always do your hair colour last. Also, space out the timing of these processes.
  • When problems arise, do not procrastinate getting a solution from the professionals. If the problems are ignored, they can become chronic and it will be much harder to treat.
  • It is also important to maintain a nutritious diet and a healthy lifestyle in order to have great hair.

    I always thought I am so called blessed with nice hair count and quality. I never bothered much about maintaining it though but after reading this article, thanks to you Grace, now I know where to have my hair cut and treated for your professionalism and talent dealing with hairs. Interesting article which provides all sorts of tips for us to maintain it.

  2. Wei Theng on May 8, 2017 at 9:31 pm

    Thank you Grace for sharing on different types of hairs & scalp. It is very detailed and informative. As there are so many types of shampoo available in the market, i learned that we should “Choose a shampoo that suits your scalp condition. If you have a normal scalp, then choose a shampoo that is suitable for your hair type.” Treat the scalp first then on the hair type.

    Thanks Grace!

  3. Andrea Lai on May 7, 2017 at 12:09 am

    I think my hair is the typical type. In my teenage, my hair is rough, thick and many. As I grow older, my hair quality starts reducing due to too much chemical treatment such as hair dye and perm. As a result, my hair suffered dry and split ends. Much information I received advice from hairstylist was never rub your hair with towel because the force fricative between hair and towel will damage hair moisture which later caused split ends.
    To prevent my hair from further damaged, I only used olive oil to maintain my hair moisture. Thank you Grace for sharing your knowledge and some hair tips in this article.

  4. Pastor David Lai on May 6, 2017 at 8:00 am

    Interesting article that’s different. I think I experience hair thinning, which i think I get it from my maternal side as my mom experience the same thing in her younger years. I don’t really have male pattern balding. What I experience is literally thinning of my hair and the fact that they are getting more sparse especially around the crown area of my head. I guess eventually, I would have to go bald as my hair would become more and more sparse.

    On the other hand, I also have grey hair as more and more of my hair are turning white over time. This process began way in my teenage years but have become particularly pronounce in recent years, probably owing to my irregular sleeping pattern and diet. I used to dye it a lot but I have decided to let it turn naturally white. I guess, as I get older, I just prefer a simple daily regiment and let nature takes it course.

  5. Cynthia Lee on May 2, 2017 at 5:23 am

    Thank you Grace for the insightful sharing. Not only do I suffer from very fine hair, but I suffer from very oily scalp. Hopefully one day I am brave enough to shave it all off like the monks and nuns. In the meantime, tips as simple as choosing the right shampoo and avoiding very hot water for oily scalp definitely help without too much effort. Life is about a balance. We should look presentable yet not spend all our time looking good.

  6. KarenC on May 2, 2017 at 3:14 am

    Dear Grace, thanks for the informative article. I understand more about my hair now and how to tackle my scalp problem that bothers me for long time. Many of us when deal with hair/scalp problem, we do not really research enough to understand the root of problem and yet we keep on trying different products in the market hoping to solve our problem, it’s really important to read up and understand if we want a real solution to our problem, so thanks for this article 🙂

  7. Fong on May 2, 2017 at 12:27 am

    Wow, I knew hair care was complex but never truly appreciated it true depth and breadth. The last point to note ass stated in the list “It is also important to maintain a nutritious diet and a healthy lifestyle in order to have great hair.” is what most people would overloook. What a tell-tale sign that is to have hair that is less than lustrous, that it is time to make an appointment with your primary healthcare personnel.

    This is also great to know, as then we can look out for other members of the family such that we can help them better to stay healthy.

    Thank you, Grace for the great tips.

  8. William Chua on Apr 25, 2017 at 5:12 pm

    Thank you Grace for sharing your experience and knowledge on hair. The hair care tips are very useful for me as it make me aware on how to care for my thinning hair better. We should not have attachments on our hair but we still need to look presentable for someone who is practicing Dharma so that we can be an example for others to follow.

  9. Stella Cheang on Apr 25, 2017 at 4:10 pm

    Thank you, Grace, for sharing with us the many tips on how to care for and maintain our hair. Personal grooming is important because when we care for our appearance, we are respecting the people who have to deal with us. Caring for our hair, making sure that it is neat and clean should be something we need to take care of since young as it is part of personal grooming. The key is not to be attached to our body and outer-images, that results in spending much time and resources just to make ourselves look good.

  10. Anne Ong on Apr 24, 2017 at 10:26 pm

    Thank you Grace for this interesting informative article about hair. There is really a lot of knowledge and tips to learn from your write up and from someone whom i can really trust with such experience! Thanks again for your wonderful effort 🙂

  11. Echeah on Apr 24, 2017 at 6:04 pm

    Thanks Grace for this informative article. First impressions count when people size you up and hair is often noticed first. I think the greatest fear of most people is hair loss. Other hair problems like greying, dandruff, oiliness, texture etc, can be treated or is not unacceptable, but hair loss is dreaded as there is nothing much you can do about it and it’s a dead end! Yes there is perhaps transplantation or wigs, but not really the same as the real crowning glory and it comes at a cost. It also becomes the butt of people’s jokes. Nice hair comes with praise and admiration. But the underlying issue is the ego, right? If there was none, none of it would matter.

  12. wan wai meng on Apr 24, 2017 at 2:15 am

    Thank you Grace for sharing your insights into people’s hair and the various way to keep it healthy, and how to look as perfect as we can. As our appearance is the first thing people will come in contact with, and it is always good to make a good impression.

  13. Vivian Ong on Apr 24, 2017 at 12:02 am

    Thank you Grace for this informative sharing about our hair. After reading through this article, I learn something from it. I can share this article with family members and friends who problem with their hair or scalp. Thank you for the useful tips too.

  14. Lin Mun on Apr 23, 2017 at 7:16 pm

    Thank you Grace for this interesting articles about hair. There are just so much info which we do not know previously. Most of the time we may neglect the details, thinking as long as we clean our hair everyday it is sufficient. But there are so many things we need to know for example types of hair, scalp condition, our environment and our physical condition which may affect our hair. Great tips.

  15. Datuk May on Apr 23, 2017 at 3:05 pm

    Every human being’s crowning glory is that headful of hair. It is so beneficial that we in Kechara, a diverse organisation, have various professional Buddhist members, resulting in having this very extensive article of advices for us to maintain our crowning glory.

    It is the amazing diversity of interests, that our Guru has created that benefits all both physically and spiritually that makes https://www.tsemrinpoche.com a living temple of empowerment.

    n their theoretical model, rudeness has this impact on our ability to think because it engenders negative sadness, anger. Researchers have found that common negative behaviours can spread easily and have significant consequences. The best way to avoid rude people is to meet their acts of rudeness with kindness. Exposure to neurotoxins in society is not new. Children today are raised in an environment that is much different from those days. Nowadays they are exposed to behaviours, profane language, hostilities and stress from which we adults, raised a generation ago. Studies have shown that children exposed to serious psychological trauma during childhood are at risk of suffering increased psychiatric disorders. Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche.

    Revisit this blog again . Reading comments in this blog Rich people have substantial assets and income, providing a sense of security and freedom from financial worries. Owning high-end cars, designer clothing and everything they want with their money. Rich people often have more time for leisure, hobbies, and travel, allowing them to pursue interests and experiences. They may live in large, luxurious homes and have or apartments, often in desirable locations and having personalized services. The fundamental difference in mindset between the rich and the poor is, the rich have understood a very simple principle money makes money. Rich people see money as an opportunity, while poor people see it as something to be earned. Poor people work hard for their money. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has. Not he who has much is rich, but he who gives much. The primary difference between rich people and poor people is how they handle their wealth. My thought been rich in this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.
    Thank you for sharing Rinpoche.

    Found this old post …disturbing. Having a name especially a Bar linked to Buddha to be disrespectful towards Buddhism. After much controversy the owner had it removed. The Buddha Bar located in Sabah by a young owner which opened without much thought had many people complaining. Later was forced to have its controversial name changed to ‘Peacock Garden’ and had apologised for the controversial name. As a devout Buddhist, the name ‘Buddha Bar’ which serves alcohol, is disrespectful to the revered Buddha.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Siberia, considered the heartland of shamanism inhabited by many different ethnic groups, and many of its peoples observe shamanistic. Many of the indigenous communities reclaiming their traditional spiritual and healing practices . Interesting. Siberian shamanism is often called Tengerism, involves various rituals, including drumming, chanting, trance states, and offerings to nature spirits and ancestors. This religious practice has deep roots in Siberia and Central Asia in recent years with roots in the Turkic and Mongolic cultures. Many who have been live in a remote part of Russia, have preserved their shamanic traditions due to their isolation. Many customs of Tengrism are still been practiced where they emphasizes a deep respect for nature and its various spirits, including those of the earth, water, and mountains. They do believe in the continued existence of souls and the importance of honouring their ancestors.
    Thank you Rinpoche sharing this ancient religion.

    Everyone of us has an unforgettable different experience, a different destination and itineraries. The journey to Shar Gaden Monastery back in 2019, making offerings to the sangha , by the Kecharians hold special moments and memories. They were on behalf of His Eminence the 25th Tsem Rinpoche and Kechara in making an offering to all 650 monks of the monastery. On this fruitful trip the Kecharians had the honour to catch a glimpse of the normally-covered holy statue of Dorje Shugden . Awesome this holy statue of Dorje Shugden was handmade by HH Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche and HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche.The team was also granted an audience with H E Domo Geshe Chocktrul Rinpoche. Having the opportunity to make offerings to the monks was indeed meritorious. Rejoice to them. Looking at those beautiful pictures paints a thousands words. Thank you Rinpoche and team for this sharing. Merely looking at it is a blessing especially the Holy Statue of Dorje Shugden.

    Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. We can’t let our failures define us. Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure. Success is never permanent, and failure is never final. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness .Sometimes just reminding ourselves of the temporality of failure enables us to forge ahead and stay focus looking forward . Failure isn’t something many of us can handle gracefully. And even though we know it’s a common human condition, figuring out how to stay motivated in the face of failure .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this profound teachings.

    Finally HH Dalai Lama said we can practice Dorje Shugden. After all these years of deep frustration felt by the Tibetan people. They who lack religious freedom been denied and been exploited in all sectors of society. More than 60 years the Tibetan leadership has cause the sufferings of those in exile who had propitiate Dorje Shugden. Dalai Lama did reiterated although he recommended not worshipping Dorje Shugden as it is a personal choice and freedom. Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche .

    Working in a private hospital before ,having witnessed many personal tragedies faced by the living and dying patients. Many of these poor people faced their death with fear, with misery and pain before departing this world. With the images of all these in my mind, on occasion feeling sad and grieve at times when those we have cared .But nonetheless we should recognise certain truths. All of us are going to leave this world at one time and leaving those we love. In the teaching of the Buddha, all of us will pass away eventually as a part in the natural process of birth, old-age and death and that we should always keep in mind the impermanence of life. Along the journey of life, we are reminded of our own inevitable ends in waiting and everything is a blip of transience and impermanent. Be responsible, good and positive for ourselves and towards others. This leads to calmness, happiness and an outlook which contributes to a calm and controlled mind at the time of death. We have to remind ourselves the importance of rebirth and taking time to prepare for their own demise before its too late.To cultivate the good karma, our good actions are an excellent way prepare for our death. Having lead a responsible and compassionate life and have no regrets when death approaches enables us to surrender without a struggle. The life that we all cherish and wish to hold on. We are doomed to the endless cycles of life and death, we should learn and practices Dharma teachings .We are given a chance in life and choice to determine our future, to determine where we will go for rebirth. Spend our time on earth wisely before its too late.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    The Eerie Enigma of the Mothman are refer to the legendary, humanoid, winged creature as said by the locals as where is was been sighted. Since then it had sparking a blend of fear and fascination among the locals in the Point Pleasant, West Virginia area. This creature became an eerie symbol of fear, tragedy, and fascination for decades to come since the stories are so enduring and pervasive . The first reported encounter in 1966 in West Virginia and to the most recent one in 2024 in Kane, Illinois. In the quiet town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, the mysterious creature had igniting one of the most puzzling legends in American folklore. Witnesses described this creature standing over seven feet tall, with a wingspan that could rival a small aircraft, glowing red eyes, and a human-like figure. This interesting, could it be real no one knows, there’s something out there for sure.

    His Holiness the Dalai Lama is considered the incarnation of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara and therefore he is an enlightened being. H H Dalai Lama has strongly discouraged the practice of Dorje Shugden worship within Tibetan Buddhism. Dorje Shugden is a prominent deity in the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism. Many highly attained Lamas have been relying on this Powerful Protector for centuries and even Dalai lama previously do propitiate Dorje Shugden . It cannot be wrong and its wrong to view it as a form of “spirit worship”. All his previous 9 reincarnations practiced with devotion, all of the Dalai Lamas teachers practiced Dorje Shugdan as well . The Tibetan community is torn over this issue and this has been the cause of much suffering and unnecessary prejudice. Dalai Lama is without doubt an enlightened being that surely cannot be tricked by a spirit. Dalai Lama did composed a praise to Dorje Shugden while at Dungkar Monastery . Interesting article , may more people read this and to understand better regarding this controversy. In 2020, the Dalai Lama made a Uturn by saying we can practice Dorje Shugden . Thats’ wonderful and relief for many practitioners.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    Butön Rinchen Drup, 11th Abbot of Shalu Monastery, was a 14th-century Sakya master and Tibetan Buddhist leader. Butön Rinchen Drup a Tibetan great scholar and translator, known for systematizing the Tibetan Buddhist canon containing the Indian scriptures based on the spoken words of the Buddha. He also compiled the Tangyur collection that contains the Indian and Tibetan commentaries of these teachings. He wrote a famous text, the History of Buddhism in India and Tibet, which many Tibetan scholars utilize in their study till today. He remains to this day as one of the most important Tibetan historians and Buddhist writers in the history of Buddhism and Tibet. He was not merely a capable administrator but he is remembered to this very day as a prodigious scholar and writer and is Tibet’s most celebrated historian. After his death he strongly influenced the development of esoteric studies and psychic training in Tibet for centuries. Interesting biography of a great scholar.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David with folded hands.

    nspiring a Tibetan Parliament representing the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, spoke bravely for the need to stop discriminating against Dorje Shugden practitioners. Tenpa Yarphel, a Tibetan MP speaking confidently for the sake of Tibetan unity. Tibetans in exile have also been particularly divided over the issue of the two Karmapas and the very damaging Dorje Shugden conflict. For someone who dare to speak for the sake of peace with the intention of moving forward to a better future. Tenpa Yarphel spoke up against the continuing discrimination of people based on their beliefs. For over more than 20 years those Tibetans especially those Dorje Shugden practitioners suffered from the lack of employment opportunities to discrimination. A wise decision of Tenpa Yarphel speaking up the truth of the Tibetan sufferings. They are not allowed in Tibetan hospitals, or apply jobs in the Tibetan civil service or even entering shop or hotels and so on. Tenpa Yarphel’s statement, paints a thousand words of reality. A big hand applaud to this brave man .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Losar is the Tibetan New Year, a festival that marks the beginning of the year on the Tibetan calendar. It is celebrated among the Tibetan community all over the world recently. Losar marks the beginning of the Tibetan calendar year a time for family gatherings, religious ceremonies, and feasting because of its long history and rich cultural traditions. The celebrations will last for 15 days whereby the first three days being the most important day for them and widely celebrated festival on the Tibetan calendar. During theTibetan New Year, Panglung Oracles are known to enter a trance state, of the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden. This practice is considered a significant part of the Losar celebrations within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, providing guidance and blessings to those seeking their wisdom. People often consult the Panglung oracles to receive predictions, advice, and blessings for the coming year. Dorje Shugden will also give teachings while in trance of an oracle.
    Reading this old blog again where back in 2022, the Great Protector Dorje Shugden gave an inportant message to everyone of us. We should take it seriously practising good virtues, such as prostrating ,making offerings and practise the holy Dharma. Everyone should always be kind-hearted and doing our best to cultivate loving-kindness, compassion and bodhicitta.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this precious advices.

    Pemayangtse Monastery is a Buddhist monastery in Sikkim, India that is part of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It is one of the oldest and most famous monasteries in Sikkim. It is home to Dorje Shugden, a spirit in Tibetan tradition. The monastery is one of the oldest and most famous in Sikkim. Pemayangtse Monastery in Sikkim, founded by Lhatsun Namkha Jigme of the Nyingma tradition. One of the earliest modern academic references to Dorje Shugden. Stunning sculptures, paintings and ancient scrolls can be found in the Monastery. Interesting story behind this monastery,as described by Lieutenant Colonel Laurence Austine Waddell a British explorer, collector and author. Through the years of travelling in India, Sikkim and areas on the borders of Nepal and Tibet, after doing research on Tibetan Buddhist religious practices he made a stunning discovery. He discovered that Dorje Shugden existence in the Nyingma monastery as written in his book, which confirmed that Dorje Shugden been worshipped in the Nyingma as well . Not only worshipped in the Gelug lineage but held prominence in the Nyingma tradition too. Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great 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.
    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
