(By Tsem Rinpoche) In order to make the holy Dharma grow we need to have more inter-center (at our respective countries) communications, support and harmony. For example if one center is having a dinner, garage sale, or event, another center’s representative should offer donations, congratulations, and emotional support. When another center is doing well,...

(译文请往下阅读) (By Tsem Rinpoche) Dear friends, Extensive research and translations have been done on this incredible female devotee of Lord Buddha. Take your time to study up on her. We have arranged two translated texts from two Tibetan sources on her great deeds. May this inspire you very much as it did me. It will be beautiful to read how she brought so many on the path to dharma. High lamas in Tibetan have many previous lives where they took various incarnations to be of benefit to many beings. Magadha Sangmo is considered the first incarnation...

(By Tsem Rinpoche) Religion is just a label. It is the teachings of the religion that help nurture our innate goodness. Therefore I have always encouraged people of different backgrounds to practice their chosen religion with great faith and devotion. I will never try to distract and convert people from their religious teachers to Buddhism...

(By Tsem Rinpoche) Dear everyone, Cindy Bird went through hardship and confusion in her spiritual journey, just like many of us have and perhaps are experiencing right now.

This is a very interesting piece of news about a decision made by the Oklahoma Supreme Court. It is always a wise choice to separate church and state. All governments are supposed to represent their people and should never be influenced by religion, for a very simple reason. This is because the people they represent...

(By Tsem Rinpoche) Dorje Shugden in our latest private 2nd trance in Kechara Forest Retreat said clearly that working for dharma is very good. Working for Kechara is very good. He mentioned in Tibetan that when we work for ‘this organization‘ (referring to Kechara), we will fulfill the needs of others and automatically fulfill...

Dear friends around the world, This is so refreshing, so needed and so timely. We need more of this between all religious leaders and followers. Often times we can hear one teacher of a religion criticizing followers of another religion or their religion itself. They do their best to convert others. This religious supremacy...

Dear friends, Can you believe this. So many things here are just so wrong in this article. Segregating people due to religion and religious superiority are both very damaging and takes us further away from world peace. No one’s religion is superior to another and all are equal. We must respect all religions. Do...

Dear friends, I have always been interested in Greek Gods, Goddesses as well as the Egyptian pantheon. It is interesting in every culture they have gods and goddesses and they seem to be described doing the same things in their ethereal heavenly worlds. They remind me greatly of Buddha’s description of the six realms...
