（译文请往下阅读）   (By Tsem Rinpoche) It is a universal truth that all beings seek fulfillment and happiness in their lives. The Buddha taught and embodied this truth and hence many find solace in his teachings and his image. That is why for Buddhists, setting up an altar to the Buddha is of paramount importance for their spiritual practice. An altar to the Buddha is the focal point from which one ushers in fulfillment, happiness and wealth into their homes and lives. This video guide explains in a clear and modern way how to set up an altar to a...

(By Tsem Rinpoche) People have asked me thousands of times what practice should they do daily. They are busy, pressured for time and have heavy commitments. I understand. I sympathize that with so little time, they are sincere enough to connect with something higher daily. Perhaps for sanity’s sake or perhaps from realizations that...

  （中文请往下看） (By Tsem Rinpoche) Dear friends, When a loved one or pet passes, it is a distressing time. We want to do the best for them and their onward journey after they have left their corporeal form. Yet sometimes we don’t know what to do, how to do and maybe cannot afford it. But we still want the best. We can invite sangha and others to recite prayers or we can do our own or both. There are many special things we can do to benefit the deceased. Too numerous to mention here. So for now this will suffice. Three decades back a belov...

Apr 5, 2010 （译文请往下阅读） (Transcribed from a teaching given by Tsem Rinpoche in Tsem Ladrang Kuala Lumpur, June 2010)   How Lama Tsongkhapa transforms to Vajrayogini If you condense Buddha’s teachings step by step, they become the Three Principle Paths. We can develop the Three Principle Paths and gain mastery over our rebirth. You know why? So you don’t ever have to worry about yourself again and I don’t have to worry about you. You gain mastery. You can. Therefore, the best anyone can do if not enlightenment for now is to gain mastery over ...
