Setrap Gives Another Sign

April 1, 2010

 

Last night while in the car going to Kechara House for a dharma talk, I openly requested Dharmaphala Setrap to give me the blessings so my talk can sink into the minds of the listeners, have people become more committed to KWPC/KH Depts, show more help to the people who are doing pujas to Setrap and to develop trust in him.

I asked Setrap to show more to the people clear signs that would convince more people and hence people would engage in real dharma practice eventually. Whatever the has been requested of Setrap that would benefit others, please grant their requests and indicate clear signs. Monlam and Sengpiow were in the car with me when I vocalized my prayer out loud.

Well I got back from KH at around 2AM to the Ladrang after the Dharma Talk. Was doing some work. Around 2:30AM my assistant Sengpiow noticed something unusual growing in my plant pot on my balcony. It was straight yellow stem and that was it. Then at around 5Am the yellow stem bloomed with a top wide open and round becoming a mushroom!

We have gardens, flowers, many potted plants around the ladrang. Nothing of this sort has ever grown anywhere.

My dharma talk was on death meditation and the benefits of KWPC and our plans. Also how people can particpate in this great project.  I also instructed everyone to do two retreats on Setrap and Dzambala.

When I got back to the ladrang, this mushroom shoot literally instantly appears. If you remember a few weeks ago eminent lamas and senior monks of Gaden said that if a mushroom springs forth from a statue or the lama’s residence, it is a very good, auspicious omen of growth and success. So just a few weeks ago, a sprout sprang forth from my personal Zong Rinpoche statue and now this mushroom. Read about the Zong Rinpoche statue here.

The proximity in time of the Zong Rinpoche sprout and today’s mushroom is a coincidence too much to ignore. I feel this is a definite indication of what will be happening in Kechara House in the near future, which is much more growth, and the success of our KWPC plans. Something good is going to happen very soon. So everyone do their Dzambala and Setrap Retreats as a group well together as I requested last night. Pray for the manifestation of Kechara World Peace Centre (KWPC) in the near future.

Please see here for what I talked about last nite.

Kechara House will definitely benefit many more to come in the future. KH will continue to grow, attract many and fulfill huge projects. My hard work, the hard work of our members, Liaisons’ dedication, Blessings of Tsonkgapa/Setrap all combined will make this happen.

Early this morning I had a powerful dream that was very vivid regarding Kyabje Lati Rinpoche. I had Pukhang Khangtsen in Gaden Shartse do Heruka self initiation and tsok. They will be doing that today. I asked them to pray to Heruka that Lati Rinpoche’s wishes / prayers come true and he continues to live very long.

Lately, more and more positive signs are arising. I feel these are very encouraging. My students, friends and members should feel inspired upon reading all this as it is my purpose of blogging all this.

Keep your chin up, be harmonious, forgive each other, hold your vows of refuge, do your practice and focus on our goals. It will be achieved.

Much Care, Tsem Tulku

We just took these pictures just an hour ago… so it is hot off the press literally. See the pictures and feel inspired. It is a sign from Setrap.

Update: April 2, 2010

Yesterday early morning a mushroom spontaneously sprung up (see above). Then by evening it had died and dried up. Then this morning early again another mushroom sprung up as if to replace the previous one.

You can see in the photo (below) I just snapped 10 mins ago that on the left is yesterday’s mushroom already dried.  But on the right is the new mushroom that just sprung up this morning.

Here’s more stories similar that happened to me:

A sprout appeared on my Kyabje Zong Rinpoche statue: http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/kechara-13-depts/small-plant-growing-on-zong-rinpoches-statue.html

Then immediately outside of my house a Bodhi tree starte to grow on it’s own. We asked around and no one had planted it: http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/etc/wherever-i-stay-this-is-what-happens.html

    Wow! May KWPC swiftly manifest and the Glorious Tradition of Je Tsongkhapa flourish in this part of the world!!

    This cannot be ignored…good things to come…..going to do mantras for the occasion right now……..

    I am inspired!!

  5. ruby khong on Apr 1, 2010 at 12:06 pm

    This is not the first time such auspicious signs manifested. Many times after Rinpoche’s talks or visit to a place, rainbow would appear. Or there would be a slight drizzle..THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS COINCIDENCE!

  6. Tsetchi on Apr 1, 2010 at 6:24 pm

    Really nice and auspicious :) Thos mushroom is really beautiful :)
    I am really happy for KH and hope these signs will bring something really great for you all !
    With love.

  7. Djinpa on Apr 1, 2010 at 8:02 pm

    that so auspicious I’m really happy for Kechara I wish you the best in your quest.
    I wish lord serap to show all beings see the truth from the Buddha Dharma
    take care Rimpoche
    thinking a lot of you

  8. Roland Yap on Apr 1, 2010 at 9:34 pm

    Nice.

  9. Diana on Apr 2, 2010 at 12:51 am

    Yes, it’s very wonderful and mystical , only good things can come . With Tsem Rinpoche you know he’ll make happen. Diana

  10. BK on Apr 2, 2010 at 7:54 am

    Looks like a Lama’s victory umbrella and the yellow colour is very auspicious signifying growth. I think 2010 is gonna be a big year for Rinpoche and Kechara, don’t you?

  11. keng nam on Apr 2, 2010 at 10:24 am

    The Southern region is truly blessed with Rinpoche’s presence.

  12. Ashlee on Apr 2, 2010 at 11:29 am

    I’ve never had mushrooms grow in my backyard or pots…this is definitely No Coincidence. And yes i do agree with BK that it does look like a Lama’s mini yellow victory umbrella.
    And my kids are thrilled to see the pic.

  13. Li Kim on Apr 2, 2010 at 11:51 pm

    The mushrooms are in this amazingly glorious yellow. It is such a bright and lively yellow. I have never ever seen this in my life. Indeed truly auspicious. AND more grow! This is the future of Kechara and KWPC – GROWTH! Everyone must be aligned and committed and do all we can to make Kechara grow bigger and bigger. And most importantly, we must unite and create the causes for KWPC to manifest!

    I once built an Oyster Mushroom Greenhouse. Where we grew 600,000 pounds of drided mushrooms in our first six months. Mushroom are like fairy beings as they sprout and grow. Oyster Mushrooms can sustain a human being with all one needs for nourishment, minus the elements of Vitamin C.
    I have overseered the building of a geothermal power plant,a one acre greenhous. I have restored a Carnegie Library,a Vaudevill Theater, a City Court House into an Art Center. I built my Underground home with all passive heating and cooling elements wit 50 tons of steel and a thousand yards of concrete. I know about foundations and eco friendly systems. I built a Stupa and Monastery twice over. I am excited to see your plans and hope the foundation is put in proper. I know Volcanic soils and their properties when constructing. If you need any advice or strong backs. Jst let me know. I also built a three acre Japanese Rock Garden under the guidance of Sacred Treasure, Dr Kenneth Yasuda. He was gifted a parcel in the Kyoto Gardens for creating a garden there.
    Anyway, Creating is lots of fun, maintaining is another choice.

  15. Shin Tan on Apr 4, 2010 at 1:51 am

    I usually don’t believe in signs but these 2 mushrooms are too REAL to ignore, after I’ve seen it myself. Rinpoche was kind enough to allow some of us to go see it for ourselves!
    The yellow colour that signifies growth & also perhaps Tsongkhapa’s yellow hat tradition is really encouraging, especially after the auspicious conclusion of Dzambala puja & the announcements of more pujas to come.
    I can’t wait for the pujas, it’s going to be very very exciting!

    I was in awe with the manifestation of mushroom sprouting on Zong Rinpoche’s statue in Kechara House, happened on the least likely places; now mushrooming of mushrooms next to Rinpoche’s room. I believe these are clearly signs of good omen and auspiciousness around high lamas due to their merits and accomplishments. Now Rinpoche is gearing all the way to building Kechara World Peace Centre (KWPC) these signs manifested to indicate Rinpoche’s greatness and ability to achieve KWPC for the benefit of others. As the direct disciple of Je Tsongkhapa in one his past incarnations, he had built Gaden Monastery. It was one of his remarkable deed. In this life, Rinpoche will build KWPC , a monumental project in this region to benefit many people around the world.

    As predicted by High Lamas of Ganden Monastery in South India, when a small plant grew out of the right knee of Zong Rinpoche’s statue after the statue was damaged by leaking water from the upstairs of our KH1 Gompa. The High Lamas say this kind of happening is very good and auspicious and will lead to growth of Kechara and the High monks also predicted that if a mushroom should grow it will be a very good sign also. The 2nd auspicious sign occurred after Rinpoche gave a Dharma talk in KH1 and had returned to Ladrang at 2am. Seng Piow found a mushroom growing in a pot on Rinpoche’s balcony. This happens after he requested his students to do Setrap and Dzambala Retreat as a group. The plant growing from Zong Rinpoche statue and the 2nd sign of a mushroom growing in Rinpoche’s balcony signifies growth. Its true. KH is expanding and growing very fast.

    There are so many coincidences manifesting to Rinpoche wherever he is. Too many unexplained coincidences. Like Bodhi trees sprouting everywhere whenever Rinpoche has a ladrang it has happened so consistently wherever he goes. Dharma Protectors are closer to us manifest their hep and assistance and they exist for that reason and also to help us to stay on the path and eventually gain attainments. They can be very swift if we do our part, hold our vows and practise the dharma.

    Wow, so many great news in this morning. As a fan of this blog, I also feel very auspicious reading all these updates.
    May all of the Rinpoche’s wishes come true very soon.
    Thanks for sharing. Take good care, Rinpoche.
    With love,

  24. tfreon on Apr 5, 2012 at 9:16 pm

    The mushroom looks like an umbrella, which i always saw used for high lamas during special events. This is a very very special and direct indication! Hope Kechara will growth fast and aggressive, so that more and more people know the beauty of Dharma. More and more people benefit from Dharma. More and more people be more involved in Dharma. I thanks Guru bring Dharma to us. Guru Has brought the most precious resources to us, not only this life but future life.

  25. soon huat on Apr 14, 2012 at 5:53 pm

    Thanks Rinpoche for introducing Setrap to us. In fact, I got a lot of help and guidance from Setrap as well.

  26. Alan Chan ( KSJC ) on May 3, 2012 at 10:32 pm

    Wow ! Lord Setrap given another signal to Kecharian, very auspicious ! i am really inspired on this blog ! What Rinpoche has said : I alone I cannot , must work together to manifest the KWPC ! I am rejoice that Kechara Forest Retreat has manifested in the first step ! we have move on another big step towards to KWPC.

  • Difference
    (Wednesday, May 23. 2012 12:15 PM)
    Difference: Rinpoche’s life in Los Angeles is HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL. More people should know about it. Kechara should do more to promote and educate everyone on who Tsem Rinpoche was before he took ordination. It is a teaching that will apply to so many materialistic people like myself. Kechara should really do alot more to promote the biography and background of Tsem Rinpoche since you have Rinpoche with you and you can gather any information you require and you have the writers/resources. If Kechara does not promote who will? All Kechara staff and students should know Tsem Rinpoche’s background perfectly and speak about it with others. I am so touched and inspired by Rinpoche’s growing up years and I know thousands upon thousands more would be also. Kechara should do more to promote. Not many people know about Rinpoche’s background. My thoughts to everyone. Don’t you all think so?

    It is a WONDERFUL IDEA to start your day by reading one story from the 84 Mahasiddhas. They are very inspirational as they started out just like us, but changed and took responsibility and became attained thru sheer effort realizing the futility of life’s endeavours… I use to read their stories in Gaden and it would bring torrents of tears to my eyes. They touched me deeply especially their guru devotion. I wanted to be like that.. Wonderful habit to cultivate every morning upon waking is some dharma reading, then do Tsongkapa guru yoga, migtseyma and then start your day..You will be ready for anything…TR Mahasiddhas-Must bookmark this page: http://blog.tsemtulku.com/?p=23941

    Willow Creek is the exact type of town I would love to live in…trees, mountains, rivers.l would set up a house there, big altar, butterlamp house and make lots of offerings and do retreats there and lots of dharma readings. Having bigfoot nearby is just an extra treat. But I wouldn’t move therer for bigfoot-I like the environment..In Tibet Domo Geshe Rinpoche use to meditate in secluded caves and when he gained attainments, Yetis which is Himalayan bigfoots visited him giving him special milk where he made healing pills that were so powerful even the 13th Dalai Lama and Panchen Lamas wanted those pills. Domo Geshe was famous to have association with yetis and they never harmed him, but would drop milk off at his cave and go…I would love to live at Willow Creek so much. I love places like this. If I didn’t have Kechara, I would move there immediately and live there. But I will visit for sure. Will take a group with me. I want to go very much!!

    Willow Creek is a town in Northern California. This town has the most reported cases of bigfoot sightings. From Willow Creek you go to Bluff Creek where the most famous Patterson-Gimlin film of a genuine bigfoot was walking back in the 60′s was filmed…it is the most famous footage that no one can debunk till today….Willow Creek is so green, full of mountains and beautiful rivers. I will definitely take a group with me and visit one day..I love forests and Northern California..so beautiful.. I don’t want to look for bigfoot, but the whole town is a total mecca for bigfoot enthusiasts with shops and small museums. I would like to go to just enjoy the scenery, the mountains and forests. And see the bigfoot scene.. I would love to live there for sure. Who wants to go with me?? Tsem Rinpoche See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0dVzIr6bgw&feature=related Patterson-gimlin film…so far no scientist can say it is fake.

Dear friends, This is a well made Paranormal real life story. Nothing scary in this episode, but very powerful show of love and willpower. I want you to please watch this carefully and see how a mother reaches out to save her child. Her will was so strong she left her body. The child saw a light leaving the mother and going to the road although she died and 'found' people to save her child. Very touching and beautiful story. This is what I believe happened, what do you think? http://blog.tsemtulku.com/?p=31937

I knew of a lady who when she went to bed at night, she would feel unseen hands touch her body and disturb her sleep. This happened many times. She sought help from many places without relief. When she saw me, I gave her Singdongma. She invited a statue home, set up a shrine for Her and did Singdongma's mantra/prayer daily. The unseen hands stopped disturbing her & this was ten years ago. She does her prayer daily to Singongma till now: http://blog.tsemtulku.com/?p=31904

Dear all, every week I am informed of a death and to offer prayers. This week I was informed of four deaths. With death, everything is almost final and if we didn't do dharma genuinely, we would have regrets. Death is such a omnipresent and frightening stalker. Realize it will come for you one day soon and go all the way with dharma, dharma practice, dharma work and gain realizations. At death, the dharma you have is the only hope. Anything else acquired in life is a total waste of time. Please realize and wake up. Don't procrastinate and keep yourself 'busy' with activities that are empty at the time of death. Our minds will continue at death and what supports that journey is our good merits and attainments collected during our lives. Tsem Rinpoche

Dear Rinpoche, Bryan and I do so much less than what Rinpoche does. When people are asleep Rinpoche's working, when people are awake Rinpoche's working. Not many people in Kechara realize that Rinpoche works the hardest in the entire organization. I didn't know before joining Ladrang. Although Rinpoche may want to go around to pray for people in need, one day I want to able to do this instead of Rinpoche. It is quite taxing and Rinpoche can't be going out of Haven 24 hours to pray for the dying/dead. I'm happy Pastor Yek Yee and Pastor Susan wanted to come today, they really are awesome Pastors. Thank you, Jean Mei

She follow us thru out the whole session. May also bought us drinks and settle everything for us.  I have share with her about KH, TR and some other departments we have in Kechara. She is interested in KH. I will arrange with her to come and visit KH and various departments soon. The couple is sending us back home and we will go and get a stupa for Tashi's ashes. Have asked them to go back and rest after this. From Bryan

Dear all,  It's 9:30 AM. I just walked into the house after being in the hospital and then going to finish a funeral for a baby of a student. I have just conducted two funerals in the last 24 hours. The second funeral was for a baby. I had Jean Mei, Bryan, Seng Piow, Pastor Susan, Pastor Yekyee, Lew with me. Pastor Susan and Yekyee really wanted to come and learn. I am glad they made the effort.  We conducted a simple funeral by reciting holy verses, sprinkling holy water onto the baby, protector rice and scattered blessed fresh rose petals all over the baby. Afterwards I had a nice conversation about the baby's mind taking rebirth. Upon leaving the father and father's mother gave me a very warm hug of thanks and support during this most saddest of times for them...and the wife was happy and looked visibly relieved. She let go alot and let go of her guilt after we talked.. I have sent Bryan and Jean Mei with the family to cremate the baby this morning at 11AM It will take two hours and then we can bring the ashes home. Part of the ashes will be in a large stupa. All of us are extremely exhausted but did very good work. That is what Kechara is about. I am very happy we can help the baby and family along their way. When they called, they sounded extremely desperate as it was very late with no one to help them. We were very honoured to help them. I didn't call Pastor Yekyee and Pastor Susan heard, they immediately wanted to join me. Now with no sleep after baby Tashi's funeral, they went to Kechara to give dharma classes. I am proud of them and my assistants who wanted to help all last night until this morning. It is wonderful to give it all we can for others. That is what Kechara is about. Tsem Rinpoche

Dear TR, 

I have received some update from Gaden regarding Justin Ripley's ashes. 

Monastery have done a whole day of Vajrayogini Daju and Ruchok this Sunday, this is for Rinpoche's previous life and current life students who passed away recently: Geshe Ngawang and Justin Ripley.  

Monastery is now in the middle making Tsa Tsa out from Geshe Ngawang's ashes. After they finish, monastery start to make Tsa Tsa out from Justin's ashes. 

Monastery will use Justin's ashes and make a few different type of Tsa Tsa:

1) Chenrezig, Manjushri and Vajrapani Tsa Tsa

2) White Tara, Amitayus and Nagyalma Tsa Tsa

3) small stupa Tsa Tsa

I have asked monastery to mail us few Tsa Tsa after finish, this will be place inside KFR big VY stupa. 

Thanks 
Bryan (Justin Ripley's ashes has been made into holy Buddha tsatsas {as in picture} to gain more merits for him). We love Justin.

When we trust, practice and go all the way with the tantric path of Vajra Yogini, we have nothing to worry about. All the worries both worldly and spiritual will be solved. We should surrender to Vajra Yogini's blessing by being our best. We just set up this wonderful statue of Buddha Vajra Yogini in our library area. How beautiful She is. Buddha Vajra Yogini is special deity for those overwhelmed by laziness, miserliness and want easy practice but big results. May all of you be blessed to see Her holy image. Kechara Discovery Dept of our orgazination does such wonderful images available for the public. I am very happy as She is beautiful. Thank You Kechara Discovery! Tsem Rinpoche

When I first arrived in Malaysia in 1992 I had a group of people who would sponsor my tickets, stay and for many years sponsor much needed help in Gaden. One of them was Ms Mooi Lan who lives in Cheras. She has been a great supporter for the last 20 years and in the past sponsor. I recieved very sad news she passed away this morning at 4Am. I request all my students to please light a candle for her to take good rebirth and come across the dharma again. Offer the candle to Buddha Dukkar..that is the Buddha I assigned to her many years ago and she diligently practiced and set up a shrine to Dukkar.. I will miss her and never forget her kindness. Many of the things I wanted to do in the past she generously helped. Tsem Rinpoche ( see here http://blog.tsemtulku.com/?p=4354 )

Heruka! We say we want to improve yet we don't hold our vows. We promise to keep our samaya, yet our promise to our earlier promises laxed. We want to experience only good results yet we hold onto our face. We want wealth, yet we give nothing. We want success, yet we offer tiny offerings to the Three Jewels. We say we have great faith in our Guru, yet when his assignments are difficult we run. We say we want a good rebirth yet all our actions are motivated by self gain. Heruka, Heruka, Heruka, how are we to recieve your blessings when our three doors are closed tightly by selfishness, ignorance and anger?~Tsem Rinpoche

I haven't lived in Gaden since 1992 when I was sent to Malaysia. I love Gaden and loved so much living there. I like so many things about Gaden. Conversations would not be lonely and easy. Whatever I talk about the monks immediately understand. I do not have to face 'opposition' , doubts, hundreds of questions, and every detail simple about the dharma or dharma work has to be explained. I miss that so much. I am not lonely for company, but I am lonely for familiarity very much. I was very content, at peace and in my element in Gaden. I never knew or imagined I would have to go to Malaysia, stay and take on heavy responsibilities. I am not complaining but I love Gaden, the monks, my teachers, the great masters, the senior monks whom I have many friends. I miss them so much. So so much. I love and respect the great old monks, Rinpoches and spectacular Geshes. Gaden was a city of practitioners and I was home. Lord Tsongkapa's presence pervades the whole Gaden. TR

Dear all, I gave a talk on desire to a few inclusive of Paris and David. I asked David and Paris to write up the talk on their blogs. My plan was after they write it, I'll link it to my blog. From my blog people will click to their blog to read the write up and benefit many who read the talk. Paris did a very good write up and did not miss the subtle points I was expressing that night. She really took the time and effort to write it...I was happy to see she wrote exaclty as I expressed. Effort pays off usually or eventually. I am happy to see there are 669 views (43 comments) already going back to Paris' blog to read the teachings. The teachings will be benfit many. Must save and read again and again. Must share with others...Must contemplate. You want dharma, I am giving it to you and Paris wrote it out perfectly.

Bryan gave me an incredible MOTHER'S DAY GIFT. It is so auspicious. He had someone draw HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche's sacred face onto the body of Buddha Vajradharma. Buddha Vajradharma is the form Buddha takes to teach the immaculate and fautless tantra of Vajra Yogini. In Vajra Yogini's tantra and meditations, you must visualize your guru in the form of Vajradharma to make offerings both inner, outer & secret offerings daily to one's tantric guru & to meditate on Him in that form. It is very integral part of the practice. If you do the meditations well on your guru in this particular form during the practice of the sadhana..you can gain tremendous realizations and control over one's mind to leave the body when you want. So getting this picture today was an omen if Kecharians fulfill their responsibilities, then Vajra Yogini's practice will spread in this region. Very good omen. I feel this strongly. Bryan really planned out this gift & surprised me!! I will put in Chamang Ladrang in the future. THANK YOU BRYAN!!TR

Back in New Jersey over 30 years ago, there lived a lady down the street who was also a student of my teacher. Her name is Carmen (she is a nun now and her ordination name is: Ani Thupten). She had a nice size library of books and many dharma books. I loved the Dharma books!! I would spend so much time browsing and getting snippets of each book from Carmen. I use to ride by bike down to chat with her and borrow her books and it took me like 5 mins by bike..She lived on the same street. I would read dharma books voraciously and write down my questions. I would call Carmen almost daily for years to ask her to clarify the readings I had questions on. She would spend hours on a phone with me answering questions never once losing patience. I learned so much from her. She had vast dharma knowledge, very devoted to our teacher and would do her meditations and extensive sadhanas daily. She would join in all the dharma classes and pujas at our nearby Kalmuck Buddhist Temple. She was such a good dharma friend and I enjoyed her company very much. I wanted to be like her to have the freedom to study and practice dharma. When I recievd my first initiation by our teacher at the temple, Carmen sat right next to me on the front row. Thrilling!! After initiation we would have ten days of explanations (commentary) from our teacher His Eminence Kensur Losang Tharchin Rinpoche. I was so excited and deeply happy to get commentary from our great and knowledgable teacher. What I did not understand, I would of course consult Carmen who is much more advanced and taught me patiently after each day’s teachings. Around 15 years ago Carmen came to India and I travelled with her to holy Bodhgaya, Varanasi and Dharamsala. I escorted her to these places. Since then I have not met up with her. But I know she is fine. Around two years back I sent her a three foot Vajra Yogini statue as a gift from me. Carmen received the statue and was very happy. It was my offering to her for so much kindness shown me when I was a child. I wish so much she can visit Malaysia. She would be happy.

We all want to be a part of something big and with good results. But the only way we can be a part of that is if we work hard together with the other members of our Kechara. The time will pass. It can pass with you taking on difficulties or it can pass with you doing nothing. I feel it's better to work hard now and enjoy later than to enjoy nothing now and then end up nowhere later. Prayers and dedications are ok, but hard work must be part of the prayer. Tsem Rinpoche

His Holiness the Dalai Lama seated here with His sacred mother. A mother who gives birth to great beings like Shakyamuni, Tsongkapa, Dalai Lama, Panchen Lama, Trijang Rinpoche, etc must be a Buddha Herself, a highly realized Dakini, a powerful practitioner, or a lady who made prayers in previous lives to provide others with great dharma in one way or another. A lady of great spiritual merit or virtue.. I wanted to share this photo with you because if I ever met His Holiness' mother, I would prostrate to Her immediately. Beautiful picture. His Holiness is not ordinary for sure and neither could a being who gave birth to Him. Tibetans always said she was very saintly, gentle, simple and deeply spiritual. During Her lifetime many went to recieve Her blessings..Tsem Rinpoche

It's very revealing how when you give, offer and have something for them, they crowd around smiling, happy and easy. The minute you ask them to give something, contribute or really help out, they totally disappear. Handphones shut. No replies. No sound. As if you they never knew you. People like that make themselves 2nd rate, find 1st rate people to work with and move on. Recently I encountered some students like that!~ Tsem Rinpoche

Last night between 300-400 persons congregated at Kechara while I gave a talk to them on 'making a choice' and 'the power and purpose of stupas'. The talk has been taped and will be blogged once tape is ready. The talk was two hours and it flowed well for me although I had very little sleep. Towards the end of the talk I gave refuge vows to 100 new persons from different countries for this. When everything was done, I met up with a group of 15 and 5 from Shanghai. Had a nice dharma talk with them on how to make a centre grow and harmony. Passed out nice dharma gifts to all the visitors so they don't go home empty handed. Also seperately met some directors and movie producers that attended the talk and sought private time with me..these producers and directors are very well known locally. One is from Hong Hong. Got home around 5Am and saw so many gifts from people. Did a Manjushri dedication for all the people who offered gifts to me on Wesak day in gratitude. Also some people from Europe called in to Kechara to arrange flowers to be given to me last night. That was very sweet. I have so many flowers now..over 70 bouquets I would...guess. They have all been offered up on the shrine. Thank you. TR (May 5, 2012)

Karma exists and created constantly by our actions. Karma created in the past is fertile and will open up when the situation arises. We should never relax and think everything will be alright when there is so much volatile latent karma like a huge volcano temporarily dormant. We can do something about it though.

Some people have asked me some very important questions on tantra and Vajra Yogini in facebook. I answer them. Answers you really need to know before doing higher and advanced practices..better to be prepared ahead of time. Good to know how to prepare: http://blog.tsemtulku.com/?p=30233

This is the holy tsatsa of Namgyalma Buddha made by Lord Atisha as part of His daily practice. He engaged in making Buddha images by way of Tsatsas everyday to purify karma. TR

To even see this is a great blessing: This is the personal stupa Atisha carried around with Him wherever he went. He made offerings to this stupa and the holy contents daily. TR

Rinpoche, The movie group just before going to get the pants scared off them!  I have explained that it is Rinpoche's way of saying thank you to them for always working so hard for Ladrang. They were very happy to go in, even big chicken Carmen Koo! I've bought an extra popcorn set for Levi, and will drop it off in haven for her. Thank you, Jean Ai (seeing the move "The Cabin in the Woods")

If we always do not understand Dharma, then that is a sign of not studying. If we always blame Dharma, it is a sign we do not know what dharma really is. If we always expect of the Dharma, then we are using Dharma in ineffective methods. If we find Dharma difficult, then it is because we are unwilling to accept it. If we give up the Dharma, we are get deeper into our sufferings without respite. If we complain about Dharma it is a sign we are looking for blame in the wrong places and not within ourselves.~Tsem Rinpoche

Dear TR,
SO FANTASTIC! Me staring at rainbow. Love dm 
****(April 22, 2012-Sunday-Kechara is very lucky. Many times when we are about to embark on something really beneficial or just finished something very good, we will often times witness a rainbow and there is no rain or clouds.Today again at KECHARA FOREST RETREAT after they finished their work in the evening another clear rainbow appeared in the clear sky reported to me by Datuk May and ten other Kecharians volunteering there today. See the beautiful picture of the rainbow...TR)

I prostrate to my Guru the consummate Lojong master who teaches us how to laugh at death by creating right causes n how to regret n cry at death by doing stupid things. Exciting indeed that we can do either.
I rather die w natural smile than a fake one made up by the embalmers. 
Thank you for reminding we hv choice.
Gratefully yours 
Pastor Ngeow

Death is exciting. It's when all the thìngs we did COME BACK TO US. And we can't sweet talk or seduce our way out. We have to face what we have done. Very exciting to see what's going to happen to us! Hello death, give me what I deserve!! Tsem Rinpoche
