    For chhimi rinzin –
    Dear Chhimi rinzin,
    The teachings from Buddha are non-contradictory. Each of us are on different spiritual development level. Based on my understanding and observation, buying meat indirectly increase the demand of meat which mean animals are breed and killed to be sold it to us for our consumaption. If this is not harming and causing suffering to the animals then what else does it mean? Go thru the Rinpoche’s blog post and you will be able to decide what action to take without worrying about which side(view) you stand. Read up and make an informed decision which you can stand firm on :)

    Yesterday many people ordered incredibly beautiful flowers from KECHARA BLOOMS and had it sent to me. It was Losar or Tibetan New Year’s yesterday. I loved all the flowers they have been offered to Vajra Yogini for all of you on my Losar’s day… It was auspicious. Also by mail I received a special dharma postcard with good wishes/prayers from Mongolia from someone I did not know. But the picture on the postcard indicated to me my wishes to bring dharma to more this year will meet with more success. It was really a good omen receiving this card out of the blue yesterday with the special picture on the front… Tsem Rinpoche

    The minute you wake up, Do Gaden Hlagyema (Guru Yoga of Tsongkapa), then 21 migsteyma. Then generate the mind of altruism. Then dedicate. It should not take you more than 10 mins..then carry on as normal for the rest of the day. By doing this, you blessed your whole day and you are ready for the challenges. Should get into the habit of doing this upon waking while your mind is clear…do daily. You will see your mind change over time…Excellent and simple and do not need initiation.

    Dear lovely Rinpoche Tsem Tulku,
    i think there is a chance, that you will remember me. For a view days i wrote to you. only to say the best wishes from my heart and because there is a deep feeling, that you are on of my gurus. i told you that geshe thubten ngawang from hamburg was my guru before he dies. (www.tibet.de)i was a stundent for seven year in philosophie and lamrim. i have to say first: i am a very bad student :) you see my english is a big mistake but i think you will understand the most of my words.
    after i wrote the last mail to you a few days ago, one night i had a feeling and little vision of you. not very big vision with bells and so on ;o) but i saw you.and suddenly i had a little vision of vajrayogini.and you are right: her hairs are orange ;O))ok…the evening before i listen to your video about vajrayogini.so it is not really a big wonder ^^ but all the years before vajrayogini was not a part of my practise. it was really freaky because my view WAS a little little minutetime vajrayogini.ok…there is no sense to talk about inner expirience. so i will come to my problem: i read your last blogs to the aspirants. and a little bit i think there is a chance that i could be one of the people that you talk about. there is for example geshe lobsang palden. he gave inititions in yamantaka or vajrayogini. but i feel that i am a bad practicer. the time is not right enough for me and i know what will happen if i take the boddhisattva vow ( i hope it s th right name) and i won´t be able to hold it. i think it´s a bad joke to do always vajrasattva because don´t hold the boddhisattva rules.so i am afraid to take boddhisattva rules. hope – you said so – there are enough seeds in me, so in future i will be conected to varayogini.there is a little voice in me which whisperes: the view is vajrayogini. i feel it and i saw it short time. because i am afraid i don´t take any rules who i won´t can hold. i know my words are for you cracy. but you are one of my gurus. so i must write. and i have a feeling, that your/our time won´t be soo long in this lifetime.at the end now of my mail i want to say: one day we will see us “again”. I know it.you are my ghostuster tsem :) ) the only initiation i took was from h.h. penor rinpoche in trier / germany. it was a little initition in 2007 i think with the question: what is mind. i am not a person who want to take initation here and there. because i am often afraid of hell;) but i have read, that there is a must to have a initiation from one masterwho get his initiation from his master and so on. and i thought penor will be right.ok…i am a gelugpa, but i am also part of rime.so there is no problem for me.and in an nother blog of you, you show the hell and explain the hell.wow…i know i will see the hell.i told you already, that i am a bad practicer ^^.but i alway pray to lama tsonghkapa, my dead guru geshe thubten ngawang and all the dieties that i will have in future big luck to see the highest dharma of the middle way again.can you tell me where i can get a picture of vajrayogini like the one of the website on the top. it is the best picture of vayrayogini i ever saw and the feeling in me if i see it was unbeliveable.
    from the bottom of my heart, i pray for you, for me and all the people out there.samsara is not perfect…ok…it is like it is. and it is allright. only my view is not perfect. if the time will be right i will take the boddhisattva rules.i will pray to buddhas that they will help me. and the seeds are already enough for a bad practicer like me.in love my good tsem rinpoche.YOU are my funniest and deepest guru.in nother life you will be a filmstar.who ist jim carrey ;o)) cu
    ps: i will do what you have said. i will look the teachings about bodhisattva.and if i take the rules, i will hold them!!perhaps i will need vajrasattva ;o))
    Marten a proud wannabe gelugpa….^^

    : how far its true i dont know. but what i heard from some of my theraveda buddhist monks of myanmar was that they say eating of meat is not sinful unless we kill and eat them. if we eat meat what was killed by other people, they say its not inful. its rally contradictory from the mahayana point of view. because in mahayana tradition we believe that even eating of meat is sinful though we havent kill. any suggestions on this la.

She makes all these sound effects, and it's funny and entertaining. There are many teens who are taking notes. The mood swaps from fun to serious, which is good for learning. She continuously refers back to the blog. Right now she's playing a video on the blog, where Rinpoche is talking about the benefits of butteelamps. I am here to collect something from Su An only to see her giving a talk to teens. I'm really happy for her! Thank you, Jean Mei

Dear rinpoche,
With regards to your previous message, I guess you were somewhere in Bentong in front of a natural waterfall there.

I just dropped a gift for rinpoche at the Haven. When I saw this huge silver cup and saucer, I couldn't resist getting it for rinpoche. Then, I saw this super-sized bell and I tested it. It made quite a loud sound. I thought that it would be useful for rinpoche to call Sp instead of screaming. ; )

I would love to retire from being a dharma teacher. Say goodbye to all the people around me who don't want to change or want the 'easy' way out, let them go and they can go 'find' out the truth...and see for themselves what happens..and I go to the mountains into deep retreat. Merge with my Yidam and become awakened...I wish this so much. Tsem Rinpoche

Animals and imprints:

So many birds and animals to feed in bentong when we have KWPC there in forest! Exciting. 

I will set up Buddhas all over the forest to bless animals and feed them daily!! So they take rebirth as powerful dharma teachers to spread dharma. When the animals see and eat near the Buddha statues (due to our prayers) they plant seeds to become Dharma teachers and practitioners. We must feed lots of animals tirelessly with mantras blown on their food and or put statues for them. Important to feed animals. 
Share with others to put Buddhas in carports and always feed birds n animals. Good practice. Tsem Rinpoche

When i was very young in New Jersey i came upon this exact photo of H.H. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche. I didn't know who he was. I was drawn to him tremendously. I photocopied this picture at the Library and kept the picture on my table in my bedroom. I loved this holy being upon sight. Tsem Rinpoche

It's so nice to see how kind animals can be and caring towards eachother. Even if they are so called 'lower' in intelligent than humans, they can still appreciate love, safety and security. Never harm animals. Never eat them. Never bring pain to them. TR

It follow this, you cannot go wrong in Tantra. His Holiness Dalai Lama explains Tsongkapa's work on tantra and Professor Jeffrey Hopkins translates. Wow. TR
