(By Tsem Rinpoche) Dharma protector practice is widely believed to be a subsidiary practice of Tibetan Buddhism that has become wildly popular both within lay and monastic circles. Hence, every Tibetan institution has their own Dharma protector to safeguard the organisation and its interests. This is also seen within the great monastic establishments of...

I post on many subjects. I post on my feelings, thoughts and what I’ve learned. I write what I see and it may not be what you see, but that is okay because diversity is so necessary. We can still be civil and polite in our differences with others. After all, things can change....
