   Sometimes I realise that even the relationship between Guru and followers is a simple projection of our mind.
   But without a Guru I cannot imagine Sadhana.

   This is a picturesque image and i like it alot It gives me a peaceful and bliss feeling with Lama Tsongkhapa sitting right at the centre of Tushita Palace (which i like to call it) and lotuses and leaves on the calm waters. Such tranquillity. Thanks for sharing Rinpoche Tashi Delek

   Yes we are all always stuck and have all sorts of excuses that we cooked up in our mind to avoid doing Dharma and Learning Dharma. Ignorance is very blissful but it is also due to ignorance mankind fell in to the darkest pit or the “valley of the shadow(hell)”.

   We are just lucky we have someone we can “go to” to learn the true meaning of this Life. I am….

   I Pleas to You to not give up on US.

   Dear Rinpoche,

   Like most people, i too imprisoned myself within my own projections of life, happiness and self. However, over the months, by my mere exposure to Dharma, it has awakened many many sensations and thoughts in me that i ignored for so long and slowly but surely my projections have shifted on many fronts and issues. Happiness was a fleeting thought before but with Dharma, it has become a lot more tangible and sustaining.

   There is a song with lyrics thats goes something like this: “…I can see clearly now that the rain is gone, i can see all the obstacles in my way…”

   My exposre to your teachings have made my see beyond the rain (not that the rain is gone) and i know it is only by following you without condition that we can learn too overcome these obstacles that that are in our way.

   Like CK, i too plead that you do not give up on us even as we are undeserving. Rinpoche’s presence and what we have learned have been nothing short of changing the centre of our universe.

   Thank you Rinpoche.

   Never say you cannot without even it a try in anything you do. It is so habitual for people on first perception to say they can’t when aproached. It may be that he may not like to do it for you. Or he may not be interested in the object or subject. For example you are ask to write a book on a certain subject. The first thing your mind tells you, you are not interested so you say you cannot. But for some people its an excuse because they are lazy to try. There are people whose first thought is they think they are failures. But when pushed or inspired will succeed with patience and trying.

   Most people understand the dharma but sad to say most of them do not apply dharma into their lives due to their projections or they choose to be selective in dharma. Our Guru, out of compassion for sentient beings, will never give up on us and he will do his very best to help and guide us.So we, in return, must do our very best to listen and follow his advices and instructions.

   Thank you, Rinpoche, for your kindness and tolerance and never giving up on us.

    Emminence, Dharma Prince,

    When the Buddhas of other worlds came to this Saha World, they always told the Buddha how difficult the sentient beings here were — that we were mean (meaning difficult here), stubborn, ignorant, and unaware of our own suffering.

    If Buddhas of other worlds came to visit you, Dharma Prince, they would say very much the same sort of things.

    The Buddha himself had these same very doubts, in the Sutra where he was convinced to teach the Dharma by Shakra, Lord of the Fearless World!! Of course, he would had never had these doubts were he not an enlightened being….. And thus, I take these doubts as a good sign, that you are indeed, an enlightened Tulku!!!

    Much love, and every happiness,

    –Tom

    Emminence, Dharma Prince…

    I recall the quote from the scripture now:

    “For the sake of those sentient beings who have (only) a little dust in their eyes.”

    For our sakes, please remain and continue to teach…

    Your very good friend,

    –Tom

    We all took refuge to transform our mind to find liberation in Lord Buddha’s 4 noble truth. Though all of us do have a great thirst for dharma and its practices, but not many of us have the knowledge deep enough and ability

    We all took refuge to transform our minds to find liberation in Lord Buddha’s 4 noble truths. Though all do have the great thirst for Dharma and its practices, but not many have enough intelligence and capability to master the teachings quickly enough to realise its usefullness. To many, full realisation my take lifetimes and countless of eons of human births or not at all! Enlightenment starts and end with the individuals. In this present generation, we have reached a high level of development in materialistics terms, as a result of which, we human beings are faced with a lot of everyday problems, and many natural disasters. But, it is said that with the adoption of a right attitude of mind and way of living, all manmade problems can be overcome. Therefore, like the blog said, we must keep on trying, ’cause if we dont what kind of persons are we? Our only wish in prayer is that we have the good merits to be able to have a priceless gem of a guru like Tsem Rinpoche to stay with us all our lives to guide us through to achieve this goal.
