Dear friends,
I thought I give a short video talk on change and how to integrate dharma into our lives now and immediately. We like to make excuses and justifications of why we can’t…how about if we start to say we can and produce results..
Love and care, Tsem Rinpoche

Takes time, takes effort…. very good teaching! I really love that! Learning and applying creates change! That is it!
Tsem Riponche, please continue to teach the Dharma, and have a long life!
Blessings Sir, Thank you.
Thank you Rinpoche. This reinforces all i have been reading in your books and blog and is most motivating….
I want to follow Rinpoche’s instruction from this video to learn the dharma, apply dharma into daily life,aiming to change my mind,dehabituation, stop thinking of myself,think of other peoples happiness and get results thank you for the teaching.
Dearest Rinpoche:
Thanks for the teaching. That is exactly what I’m always reminding myself – “The most effective transformation is not available in any scripture but it is written all the time on my action”.
Please correct and guide me if I’m wrong.
Thank you very much and take good care
With love,
VP
Thank you Rinpoche for this short yet deep teaching.
I have highlighted the following:
Patience. How can we expect immediate result from Dharma practice? We have used many years to habituate ourselves to worldly habits, it will also take time to change these habits and create new habits of Dharma. We should set up expectations realistically.
We should tell ourselves “I will transform, there will be result” but we don’t expect overnight changes.
The only person that can change me is me. Saints cannot change my mind, only I can change by learning the Dharma and APPLYING it.
I should not depend on others, I should be a support for others not a burden, in worldly and in Dharma.
Learning and applying Dharma is the secret, learning only is not enough.
I should apply the Dharma one day at the time, one month, one year, and be confident that I am changing.
I become calmer, happier, I can accept more difficult situations and I can accept it for others, for a higher purpose.
Change is when I am always depressed and I stop it, I stop burdening others an focus on helping others, and I work hard to become a better person.
Change is starting a new train of thought, and I make today the beginning of tomorrow’s success, not the result of yesterday’s failures.
Change is challenging my mind, and turn the negative into positive.
Change is making no one around me in fear of me.
Change is “I will be a light for others”.
Change is being a murderer of my egoistical mind.
When I change people around will also change.
Motivated! Thank you Dear Sir! Namaste.
This is a very encouraging video because all too often I feel that I am not transforming as fast as I can. It is only when we really want to change that we realize how deeply habituated we care. However, it is the daily application of the dharma and the constant reminder as to why we must transform and the sincere motivation to want to transform that gets us through the failures.
“Dharma is when we get results”. That statements makes the difference in my mind as to what Dharma actually is. So often I forget and think that the mere practice of Dharma is Dharma. I should be looking for the results.
Thank you Rinpoche.
Thank you Rinpoche for this teaching. It has come at the RIGHT time. Learn and Apply to get results.
Change equates to this formula: 2+2 (two plus two) always equal to 4 but when we change to this: 8/2 (eight divide by two) also equals to 4 with the same result. However, the formula is different.
If we want result that comes with happiness, we need to use the “dharma” formula ie. do dharma homework, take dharma lessons, put in effort, learn and apply them and see the changes in us (our mind, speech and action).
If we work harder and faster, we see quicker changed results because we meet more obstacles and learned how to overcome them quicker and move on quicker to do more. Kind of like a cycle.
If we take our sweet time to wait to change, our change and progress will be much slower as we meet lesser challenges and do not get to see the result soon, we may give up on the way and lose our sight on the final goal.
So I prefer the quicker path – meet more challenges, learned quickly and move on to the next level quickly.
Learning,applying and one hundred per cent targeting the mind with the Dharma.Assassin of the ego.The ego that brings us unhappiness.Along with that we do Dharma work and our Guru Yoga to support and as a practice to collect merit.
I will remember this Rinpoche and apply it to the best of my ability.
Thank you Rinpoche for this teaching.
great video, simple and easy to understand….
THE CHANGE HAS TO COME FROM YOU. LEARNING AND APPLYING UNDER ALL DIFFICULT SITUATIONS….
APPLY DHARMA , DHARMA IS WHEN YOU GET RESULT…
We call dharma only we have transformations, challenge negative to positive…..
I love this post! Short, direct and compelling teaching right to the core yet set against a psychedelic background.
Change of negative habits is a challenge that I have been and am still striving for. Not easy but little by little, day by day, I get happy when I see subtle changes in me. Harder still is not to revert to negative habits. But I will persevere.
The best change in onself is without knowing one has changed until one is told you are changed for the better.
Thank you Rinpoche for this patient teaching. The kindness of Rinpoche and the 3 Jewels is once again displayed in this video. Rinpoche, the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha work compassionately with the limitations we impose upon ourselves by accepting that “we need more time to change”.
I agree with May that the speedy path is certainly “better” than taking our time because time passes quickly and many things can happen within the short time frame of a split second. For example: How many times did we regret simply because we procrastinated? How many times did we miss our chance to tell someone we loved them because we thought we had the time? How many lives can be lost or come to be in a second?
Nevertheless, Rinpoche is very kind, wise and skilful to teach this more feasible approach of taking a step at a time in today’s degenerate age. However, we must not take the kindness of our Guru for granted and still work for the fastest possible change by being the best of who we can be.
Not easy to kick our habituation out off the door once and for all. But rather than sitting down not doing anything, it is best to roll up the sleeves and get working on it.
Nobody can help us, beside ourselves. Along that way am sure we will encounter various difficulties.
Anger, frustration, laziness and so on…but we must learn to counter negative emotions positively. If we do that perhaps we are transforming while learning how to transform.
Thank You Rinpoche
Rinpoche puts it in such a clear and lucid way , if we expect one day of mantra / om mani padme hum and all our toxins or negativity we have accumulated goes a way that does not make sense. But as how rinpoche broke it down, if we start to have dharma, we start to have a different mind and outlook altogether. All our actions does start with the mind and if we are even willing to entertain the thought that we could have been wrong and want to change that is very powerful thought in our minds. What rinpoche pointed out is that when we come into dharma, there will be changes. In the lamrim the BUddhas pay more homage to our initial small change than the bigger changes we experience in dependance on the small changes in our minds in the first place.
“You can tolerate more difficult situation, you can accept more difficult situation and you can accept it for others for a higher purpose that is the Dharma”
SO IMPORTANT POINT SO IMPORTANT ~~For others…..For others…..I wish to remember this every moment of my life. Thank you Rinpoche deeply with intent I wish for this sincerely..to begin today in a new journey in the Dharma day by day I can stop to be depress for others no need to be sad just give and be happy This is a big jump but I can begin today with strong intent to follow the Dharma.
