Berlatih Bukanlah Sebuah Pilihan (Bahasa Indonesia)

Orang-orang dengan sukarela mendaftar untuk menjalani pelatihan yang luar biasa, tantangan, ‘penyiksaan’ fisik, ‘penyiksaan’ mental, ‘pelecehan’ dan bahkan menempatkan diri mereka dalam situasi yang membahayakan nyawa mereka seperti yang Anda lihat dalam video yang luar biasa ini. Ini semua demi kemajuan kehidupan ini saja. Perlukah kita berbicara lebih banyak untuk kehidupan di masa depan? Video singkat yang harus ditonton. Mereka diejek, diolok-olok dan bahkan dianjurkan untuk berhenti oleh atasan dan rekan kerja. Orang bisa mengatakan ini adalah siksaan psikologis dan mental dan orang-orang yang ‘melakukannya’ adalah orang yang kejam dan jahat. Tapi ingat, Anda mendaftar dan Anda memutuskan untuk ikut program ini. Anda punya pilihan, jadi tidak ada kartu korban di sini untuk dimainkan.

Melewati latihan ini akan membuat Anda lebih tangguh menghadapi perubahan, kesulitan, kenyataan, kekecewaan, dan benar-benar membuat kita menerima kenyataan hidup. Hal ini akan memudahkan diri dan semua orang di sekitar kita karena kita menerima, memahami, dan mempersiapkan diri dengan baik. Mengharapkan sesuatu sesuai dengan proyeksi kita dan tidak mendapatkannya sering kali menyebabkan kepahitan dan depresi. Hampir sebagian besar dari hidup kita adalah samsara. Beberapa berhasil dan banyak yang tidak berhasil dalam pelatihan yang sulit ini. Dari 150 orang yang mendaftar, 42 orang berhasil mengikuti pelatihan luar biasa ini yang benar-benar mewakili kehidupan. Sisanya berhenti.

Beberapa dari mereka yang berhenti mengeluh, mengatakan bahwa itu terlalu sulit, tidak manusiawi, tidak dapat dicapai dan bahkan dapat mengutip masalah psikologis karenanya. Namun secara keseluruhan, ini adalah pelatihan. Dan ini untuk tubuh dan pikiran. Ini untuk kesuksesan duniawi. Ini mengingatkan saya pada biara. Ini mengingatkan saya pada wihara yang terorganisir dan beberapa guru saya yang tangguh. Anda dilatih dengan berbagai metode oleh guru Anda dan apakah guru Anda seorang biksu atau sersan, jika Anda menginginkan hasilnya, lakukanlah. Memiliki komitment yang sama seperti pelatih Anda. Anda dilatih oleh orang-orang yang tahu apa yang mereka kerjakan dan berkomitmen. Berkomitmen pada pelatihan dan melatih Anda. Anda harus patuh, melakukan latihan dan hanya dengan melakukan hal ini Anda yang dapat menikmati hasilnya. Hasilnya dapat bertahan seumur hidup Anda dan secara spiritual seumur hidup. Hal ini tidak pernah diberikan kepada Anda. Jika Anda gagal, Anda dapat menyalahkan guru, tetapi jika Anda menyalahkan guru, semua orang pasti gagal. Tidak semua orang gagal tetapi Anda gagal sehingga tidak bisa menyalahkan pelatih. Bahkan sebagian besar orang bisa gagal dan itu tetap salah Anda karena itulah yang biasanya terjadi pada pelatihan yang sulit. Jangan memuliakan kegagalan Anda hanya karena Anda memiliki banyak teman yang juga gagal. Kegagalan adalah kegagalan.

Beberapa orang bahkan mendorong orang lain untuk gagal sehingga mereka tidak sendirian dalam kegagalan. Saya pernah bertemu dengan orang-orang seperti itu. Mereka mendorong orang lain untuk meninggalkan wihara, retret, guru, praktik, keyakinan, samaya, komitmen, meditasi dan karya mereka sehingga ketika mereka pergi, mereka tidak sendirian dan merasa seburuk atau terlihat seburuk itu. Setelah mereka pergi, apa yang dapat Anda berikan kepada mereka? Kembali ke hal yang sama persis dengan yang mereka lakukan sebelum mereka bergabung dengan dharma atau pelatihan. Untuk apa bergabung, jika semuanya sudah sempurna? Itu tidak membuatnya lebih baik dalam jangka panjang, karena Anda masih gagal. Semakin keras pelatihannya, semakin nyata Dharma-nya dan semakin jujur, kemungkinan besar, semakin banyak yang akan berhenti dengan alasan penyiksaan, terlalu sulit, tidak sepadan atau bahkan mengatakan bahwa mereka merasa terjebak. Tapi jebakannya bukanlah latihan Dharma. Karena latihan dalam Dharma mengajarkan Anda bagaimana meninggalkan perangkap samsara dan tidak tinggal di dalamnya. Ketika Anda gagal, Anda tidak bebas tetapi pada kenyataannya Anda tetap berada di tempat Anda berada. Jika di tempat Anda sekarang baik-baik saja, mengapa Anda mengikuti latihan sejak awal? Latihan Dharma itu sulit. Semua latihan itu sulit.

Latihan01

Pelatihan itu sulit. Latihan saya dengan guru-guru saya juga sulit. Latihan itu keras karena pikiran kita keras. Kita memenuhi pikiran kita dengan segala macam kenyamanan dan membiasakan pandangan tentang bagaimana segala sesuatunya seharusnya terjadi dan ketika tidak seperti itu, kita menyerah. Kita suka menyalahkan pelatih, jalan, Dharma, metode, dan sebagainya. Tapi yang perlu dipahami orang adalah, ya, latihannya memang sulit, tapi apakah peserta latihan membuatnya lebih sulit karena mereka manja, memiliki pandangan yang salah, berpegang teguh pada zona nyaman mereka dan menolak untuk benar-benar berubah? Apakah semua peserta pelatihan dapat langsung dilatih? Apakah mereka semua kooperatif dan patuh serta benar-benar ingin membuat perubahan? Atau apakah ketika zona nyaman mereka yang paling rahasia dilanggar, mereka pergi? Pergi adalah satu hal, menjadi pahit adalah alasan untuk menutupi kegagalan karena Anda memilih untuk bergabung sejak awal. Tidak ada yang memaksa Anda. Anda bertanggung jawab atas pilihan Anda. Bagaimana cara melepaskan diri dari samsara ketika Anda masih terjebak dalam upaya untuk merasa nyaman? Merasa nyaman sebenarnya tidak memiliki tempat dalam latihan spiritual maupun fisik.

Mencapai sesuatu tidak memiliki ruang untuk merasa nyaman. Kesuksesan dan kenyamanan tidak pernah berada dalam satu kontinum yang sama. Kesuksesan tidak datang dari keadaan nyaman, tetapi dari mempertanyakan ide dan kebiasaan yang terus menerus membuat kita terikat pada tipu daya bahwa zona nyaman, uang, akuisisi, percintaan, perjalanan dan hiburan adalah tujuan hidup kita. Apa pun yang Anda miliki sekarang diberikan kepada Anda secara cuma-cuma atau Anda bekerja melawan zona nyaman untuk mencapainya. Setelah Anda lari sambil berteriak dari pelatihan, apa yang Anda capai dalam hidup Anda yang bersifat substansial? Apakah Anda hanya kembali tidur larut malam, melakukan beberapa meditasi yang menyenangkan hati, bertemu teman, bermain internet, bepergian, makan, acara-acara sosial, makan malam yang tak ada habisnya, dan liburan tanpa henti? Berlibur dari apa? Anda tidak bekerja terlalu banyak sehingga membutuhkan liburan? Mungkin Anda bahkan mengambil satu atau dua kursus di sekolah, ‘sibuk’ menulis blog, sesekali mencoba-coba olahraga, membaca buku-buku self-help, mencoba-coba ilmu gaib untuk mendapatkan masa depan yang nyaman? Mungkin tidak melakukan apa-apa? Anda kembali ke apa yang Anda lakukan sebelum pelatihan. Sekarang Anda harus menjelaskan kepada diri sendiri dan orang lain mengapa Anda berhenti dari pelatihan. Kita bisa jujur atau berbohong untuk menyelamatkan muka mengapa kita berhenti. Jangan kembali melakukan hal yang sama dan lebih banyak lagi dengan mengatakan bahwa pelatihan itu gila. Yang gila adalah kebutaan Anda yang salah menganggap zona nyaman Anda akan membawa Anda ke tempat yang diinginkan, tetapi zona nyaman tersebut akan membawa anda ke tempat yang pada akhirnya tidak diinginkan.

Mungkin Anda akan membuat perubahan di dunia ini menjadi lebih baik dengan berhenti, tapi kemungkinan besar tidak. Karena kerja keras, jam kerja yang panjang, komitmen, semangat, konsistensi, dan pengorbanan kenyamanan adalah bahan-bahan universal yang diperlukan untuk perjalanan luar diri dan terlebih lagi untuk perjalanan dalam diri. Apapun perjalanan yang kita pilih dan semoga itu adalah demi kebaikan kita, dengan tetap berada di zona nyaman, hal ini akan membutuhkan waktu seperti halnya mengatasi zona nyaman menuju kesuksesan batin. Keduanya membutuhkan waktu yang sama dan waktu yang digunakan. Yang satu tidak membuahkan hasil dan yang lainnya membuahkan hasil. Jangan buang-buang waktu. Itu adalah pilihan kita, jangan menyalahkan jika kita berhenti. Lebih baik kita menelan ego demi keuntungan jangka panjang kita dan kembali berlatih. Perjalanan ini tidak berakhir saat kematian, sayangnya dan untungnya. Perjalanan ini berlanjut hingga ke bardo dan kehidupan-kehidupan selanjutnya. Sang Buddha tidak salah. Semakin sulitnya latihan yang kita jalani, merupakan indikasi yang jelas bagi diri kita sendiri tentang seberapa jauh kita tertinggal. Betapa kita sangat membutuhkannya. Semakin banyak alasan untuk berlatih. Bagi sebagian orang, dibutuhkan usaha yang luar biasa untuk mencapai suatu tujuan dan bagi sebagian yang lain tampaknya sangat cepat. Apapun itu bagi kita, mulailah dan teruslah berlatih.

Latihan02

Seiring bertambahnya usia, sakit, keriput, melambat dan semua jenis penyakit menyerang tubuh kita, kita akan tahu bahwa waktu akan semakin singkat, semua pengalaman yang kita alami, perjalanan, makanan, percintaan, kesenangan, anak-anak dan semua hal yang ditawarkan oleh dunia materialistis tidak akan membantu kita sedikit pun pada saat kematian. Semua percakapan yang kita lakukan dengan teman, anak, pasangan, dan sebagainya tidak akan membantu kita sama sekali. Pengalaman-pengalaman itu akan hilang secepat pengalaman itu sendiri. Mengalami sesuatu demi pengalaman itu seperti mengumpulkan air dalam cangkir yang berlubang untuk diminum. Ketika empat elemen tidak berfungsi di dalam tubuh kita, dan angin batin berkumpul dan ketika kita akan kehilangan kesadaran selamanya, bahkan sahabat dan mitra terbaik yang memegang tangan kita tidak akan membantu.

Kita bahkan tidak akan sadar bahwa mereka ada di sana dan memeluk kita pada saat terakhir. Kemudian karma yang selalu hadir mengambil alih seperti yang telah terjadi selama ini, tetapi lebih dari itu sekarang, karena kita tidak memiliki fisik untuk menggenggam lagi. Kekayaan, pengalaman, kedudukan, kekuasaan, nama, kemiskinan, kecantikan, teman, rumah, properti, pandangan, pendirian politik, pinjaman, tabungan, hewan peliharaan, semuanya tidak akan membantu Anda. Ketika Anda memasuki bardo, hanya karma yang telah Anda kumpulkan secara positif yang akan membantu Anda sekarang. Meditasi-meditasi tulus, mantra-mantra, menyelamatkan hewan, memberi manfaat bagi makhluk lain, retret, menyumbang, persembahan di altar Anda, doa-doa bagi yang tercerahkan, guru samaya, pembangkitan aspirasi altruistik, altruisme, penghancuran pandangan mendua, karya-karya yang bermanfaat bagi orang lain, pelepasan genggaman fenomenal, pelepasan bayangan-bayangan dan pencapaian-pencapaian akan menolong Anda dan dapat menolong Anda.

Segala sesuatu yang Anda habiskan ketika Anda masih hidup selain pencapaian spiritual tidak akan membantu. Pengalaman seumur hidup Anda yang terakumulasi dari buku-buku, orang-orang, perjalanan, pembelajaran budaya, makanan, uang, tabungan, kemiskinan, pasangan dan posisi tidak akan membantu dan akan dilupakan. Anda akan tenggelam dalam kelupaan yang hitam. Semua milik Anda yang Anda pertahankan akan segera jatuh ke tangan orang lain. Pelupaan itu benar-benar hitam untuk sementara waktu sebelum meninggalkan tubuh kita. Sebuah perjalanan menuju ketakutan, hal yang tidak diketahui dan mungkin rasa sakit jika kita tidak sadar secara spiritual. Tidak mempelajari peta sebelum mencapai persimpangan jalan, dapat membawa Anda ke arah yang salah. Tidak mempersiapkan diri secara spiritual dan dengan bodohnya hanya terlibat dalam pengejaran samsara akan menanggung konsekuensi yang menakutkan sekarang. Apabila anda tidak menyukai apa yang anda baca, jangan salahkan saya, tetapi ini adalah bentuk ringkasan dari ajaran Buddha yang mahatahu. Saya tidak bermaksud negatif, atau mencoba untuk menakut-nakuti Anda atau membuat Anda takut. Jika Anda merasa takut, itu karena Anda tidak siap, bukan karena saya menakut-nakuti Anda.

Saya tidak dapat menakut-nakuti Anda tentang sesuatu yang tidak benar karena Anda dapat menyelidiki sendiri. Ketakutan muncul karena mengetahui kebenaran dari keberadaan kita jika kita tidak melakukan apa-apa. Kebenarannya adalah menjalani hidup dengan hanya menikmati kesenangan akan menghabiskan karma yang mendukungnya seperti yang dikatakan oleh Kensur Jampa Yeshe kepada saya. Tapi untungnya jika Anda membaca ini sekarang, itu berarti Anda dapat melakukan sesuatu sekarang. Mulailah dari sekarang. Tidak ada lagi alasan dan penundaan. Bahkan jika Anda pernah berhenti di masa lalu, mulailah lagi dan jangan berhenti. Ingat, konsistensi adalah kuncinya. Kunci yang membuka pintu menuju pencapaian batin yang luas, kebebasan sejati, kemahatahuan, dan menemukan sifat Buddha Anda yang cemerlang.

Itulah yang dilakukan oleh Buddha Shakyamuni. Itulah mengapa kita ‘menyembah’ dan mengikutinya. Untuk apa lagi kita mengikutinya? Berhentilah memuji, melantunkan dan bermeditasi tentang apa yang Buddha lakukan untuk menjadi seorang Buddha dan tidak lebih dari itu, tetapi ikutilah jalan yang sama dengan yang telah diselesaikan sang Buddha. Lakukanlah sekarang juga. Lakukan saja. Tidak ada lagi alasan, pembenaran dan berlindung di zona nyaman yang menipu. Penipuan juga tidak kekal. Tidak peduli berapa banyak yang ikut menipu diri sendiri dan seberapa baik teman Anda, penipuan akan berujung pada penyesalan yang mendalam. Teman-teman yang mendorong untuk berhenti atau menipu dapat datang dan pergi, tetapi penderitaan kita tetap tinggal. Ingatlah, kebijaksanaan Buddha dalam ajarannya melampaui pandangan apapun yang mungkin dimiliki oleh ‘teman’ kita. Kebijaksanaan Buddha didasarkan pada ketiadaan ketidaktahuan sama sekali, sementara pengetahuan teman kita didasarkan pada keterbatasan murni dan terhalang oleh karma. Kemahatahuan Buddha juga melampaui segala bentuk pendidikan, pengetahuan, ‘kebijaksanaan’ dan pengalaman yang dapat ditawarkan di dunia ini. Tidak ada pengetahuan dari manusia biasa yang dapat melampaui kebijaksanaan Buddha yang mahatahu. Ikuti sang Buddha.

Latihan03

Jadi mengapa kita begitu menyukai segala sesuatu yang tidak membantu kita secara fisik pada saat kematian dan secara mental dan karma? Karena kita belum mempelajari, mengalokasikan waktu untuk itu, menerapkan dan menghayati ajaran Buddha sepenuhnya. Kita tidak jahat, tetapi bodoh. Tetapi bahkan bila ketidaktahuan adalah jalan yang dipilih dan ini tidak akan berlangsung selamanya. Kita hanya menyerah pada materialisme karena kita sudah terbiasa dengan hal itu dan kita tidak menyerah pada diri kita yang sebenarnya, sifat sejati sang Buddha di dalam diri kita. Kita belum tunduk pada kebenaran Dharma. Semua yang kita lakukan sekarang tidak akan ada gunanya jika tidak diarahkan pada pencapaian batin yang dengan jelas diajarkan oleh sang Buddha.

Video pelatihan ini sangat menyentuh. Bersahabatlah dengan tekad, kerja keras, ketabahan, pengorbanan, konsistensi, dan hasil. Tinggalkan musuh seperti kemalasan, alasan, pembenaran, menyalahkan, gangguan karena mereka adalah teman yang buruk untuk bersahabat.

Ingatlah hanya 42 orang lulus pelatihan dari 150 orang. Itu berarti 108 orang menemukan alasan, alasan, pembenaran untuk berhenti. Itu adalah jumlah mayoritas. Mereka yang berhenti mungkin akan menyesal, mengutuk, membenci, atau berbicara tentang pelatihan yang buruk kepada teman dan keluarga selama sisa hidup mereka. Bahkan mungkin akan mengatakan bahwa mental mereka rusak karenanya. Bahkan jika Anda berhenti, pergilah dengan baik-baik, jangan menyalahkan. Karena menyalahkan adalah memainkan kartu korban untuk menutupi. Banyak orang yang lebih menderita daripada Anda dan mereka lebih berhasil karena mereka tidak berhenti.

Sama seperti di banyak wihara termasuk wihara saya sendiri yang saya alami selama 40 tahun terakhir, lebih banyak yang berhenti atau duduk di garis pinggir daripada yang berhasil. Jika Anda meminta mereka untuk melangkah lebih jauh, mereka akan dengan cepat menyebutkan semua alasan mengapa mereka tidak bisa, tetapi sebenarnya mereka tidak mau karena akibat karma belum dialami. Atau mungkin karma telah berhasil mengejar. Namun kenyataannya adalah latihan tidak merusak batin kita, tetapi zona nyamanlah yang merusaknya.

Bagaimana kita dapat meninggalkan samsara, tempat yang secara menipu menunjukkan kenyamanan sementara kepada kita, dengan tetap merasa nyaman dan tidak melakukan lebih banyak hal, tidak mencapai lebih banyak perjalanan batin? Latihan itu sulit. Tapi lakukanlah. Anda patut melakukannya. Lakukan dalam jangka panjang dan jangan pernah menyerah. Semakin kita menundanya, semakin tua, penyakit, ketidakmampuan, pemahaman, ‘tanggung jawab’, karma, kebiasaan, dan rekan-rekan akan merayap masuk untuk ‘memastikan’ bahwa kita tidak dapat melakukannya.

Latihan04

Jangan menerima dengan yang biasa-biasa saja. Jangan menerima kegagalan. Jangan menerima hasil yang setengah-setengah. Jangan menerima yang tidak selesai. Karena penyesalan di masa depan dapat dicegah jika kita melakukan sesuatu sekarang. Selesaikan pelatihan. Berhentilah menjadi begitu fasih dan kreatif menjabarkan alasan. Anda tidak membodohi siapa pun kecuali diri Anda sendiri. Anda memberikan contoh yang buruk. Selesaikan pelatihan spiritual. Jadilah terlatih. Setelah latihan, Anda akan menyadari dan bertanya pada diri sendiri mengapa Anda menanggung begitu banyak hal yang tidak perlu untuk waktu yang lama. Buddha adalah contoh makhluk yang terlatih sepenuhnya.

    Mount Wutai is a sacred Buddhist mountain. The cultural landscape is home to forty-one monasteries. Its central area is surrounded by a cluster of flat-topped peaks or mesas roughly corresponding to the cardinal directions. Significance of Mount Wutai is one of the Four Sacred Mountains in Chinese Buddhism. Each of the mountains is viewed as the bodhimaṇḍa of one of the four great bodhisattvas. Wu Tai San is the home of the Bodhisattva of wisdom Manjushri. Beautiful architectural temples have been built since from the 1st century AD to the early 20th century. The temples are inseparable from their mountain landscape. Those monasteries of Mount Wutai remain an important repository of Buddhist culture. Every year it has attract thousands of pilgrims from across a wide part of Asia. Mount Wutai is an exceptional testimony to the cultural tradition of religious mountains that are developed with monasteries. The temples demonstrate a long history of construction and reconstruction. Wutai Shan is worth visiting for its rich Buddhist culture, historical temples, and stunning natural scenery. Visitors can experience a spiritual atmosphere, see numerous temples. I am fortunate joining Kechara group visiting these Holy places at Wu tai Shan years back, witnessing the beauty of the mountain landscape, even though that time some areas still be under construction and can be crowded. Beyond its cultural sites, the mountain offers impressive natural scenery with lush greenery, mountain streams, and panoramic views.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing as it reminds me of my pilgrimage trip.

    The right attitude when receiving offerings is one of gratitude, humility, and joy, recognizing the act as an expression of the giver’s generosity and a means to fulfil their spiritual path. It is important to accept gifts graciously, as refusing them can be impolite or seen as rejecting someone’s kindness. Appreciate the giver’s generosity and understand that the offering represents a sacrifice of their own resources. Rejoice in the giver’s generosity: Be happy for the giver’s spiritual practice of making the offering, which helps them to reduce their own attachments to material possessions. In Buddhism, receiving offerings requires an attitude of rejoicing in the giver’s generosity, understanding the offering as a practice for the donor, and a commitment to use it to benefit others. Recipients should have a compassionate and selfless motivation, viewing the act as a mutual opportunity for generosity and a way to help the giver reduce their attachments. Well using the offering wisely to further spiritual practice and the benefit of all sentient beings. We encouraged to make offerings to the Three Jewels but even more so, we are encouraged to make offerings to our gurus, considered the most precious of all. A precise teachings from this post.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Khong Jean Ai.

    Offering butter lamps is a Buddhist practice symbolizing wisdom dispelling ignorance. Many benefits when we offer butter lamps such as accumulating merit, purifying negativity, achieving spiritual clarity, and receiving blessings for wealth and well-being. The act is a powerful act of devotion, helps guide the deceased, and is used to focus one’s mind for meditation. When we practices with correct motivation it lead us to greater wisdom, clarity of mind, and the ability to discern virtue from non-virtue. The ultimate goal is to use this practice as a step toward enlightenment and liberation from suffering. The flame of the lamp symbolizes wisdom, and lighting it represents the removal of the darkness of ignorance and confusion. Awesome …offering butter lamps is seen as a way to generate good karma and merit for oneself and others. As this light offerings brings happiness, liberation from suffering, enlightenment, and the ability to help others as well.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing. with the detailed explanation of why we do butter lamps. A profound teachings.

    Found this old post , an example shown to us how compassionate Rinpoche was, helping those vendors on the streets . No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Be kind whenever possible we could do to help those in need. It is always possible. In the second video showing how much care Rinpoche serving foods to workers and sharing, explaining with them about Dharma. Rinpoche kindness in action has inspired us to be kind and helping those who might fighting a hard battle. Everywhere we go, leave a glitter trail of kindness behind us if possible..

    Pilgrimage is important in Buddhism because it deepens spiritual understanding, fosters a connection to the Buddha’s life and teachings. It also provides us the opportunities for personal transformation. It helps practitioners to purify negative karma, cultivate positive merit, and strengthen their devotion to the Three Jewels. Visiting sacred sites can also inspire virtuous conduct and a sense of urgency in practicing the faith. Some places of pilgrimage have powerful energy which can bring our mind to present moment. Major sites of Buddhist pilgrimage are often found in northern India in places associated with the Buddha’s life, teaching and enlightenment. Going on a pilgrimage gives us a chance to step away from the chaos of our schedules.
    Reading this article again reminds me of my pilgrimage to Nepal years back,. It’s a once life time trip but I am glad made it twice.
    It’s a great memories for Pastor David and Paul who brought their parents om pilgrimage to India and Nepal. Awesome …they embarked on a spiritual journey in India and Nepal visited sacred temples, ancient Buddhist sites and Serpom Monastery.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this sharing

    The Nature of the mind is a central concept across various philosophical traditions, It generally refers to the mind’s intrinsic characteristics. As it believed to encompass awareness, purity, and a capacity for both peace and agitation. Most spiritual traditions offer some combination of four practices for those who would seek to know their true nature. We could self-transform through training our mind. When we face difficult situations and things go poorly in our lives, if we’re able to change our attitudes toward them, we’ll be able to transform these experiences into ones that will further our spiritual progress. A profound teachings indeed for us to understand more about the true nature of our minds and how we can transform our minds through sincerely practicing.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing

    Wow…..800 White Tara statues been offered to HE Tsem Rinpoche from the Board of Directors in Kechara. Tsem Rinpoche kept 3 and the rest was offered to the monks in Shar Gaden Monastery back in 2013. That’s more beneficial and having arranged these statues shipped to India for the monks at the monastery on Rinpoche behalf. October 2014, Beng Kooi and her team of 5 people, along with 29 pilgrims had their first experience travelling to a monastic setting. Rejoice to them such a meaningful journey whereby they met with many high lamas and many old, holy monks. They did offered the White Tara statues, robes, books, food, drinks and many wonderful and beautiful pictures offerings to the monks. Looking at those pictures in this blog post tells more. Truly a great memories for them.
    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.
    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
