I know teaching is hard, but i really really really appreciate your teaching a lot, and it is so kind. But I know it is really hard, I don't think that I could do it. I try to listen to your teachings every day. I wish I could be just like you.

they are very lucky to be in malaysia, if u are in malaysia u should attend all of the teachings and make time for everything because he is very kind. if you are lazy then you are missing out on a lot.

As a human beings we r born to suffer due to our karma. As such karma is meant suffering. Sourish, sweetness, bitterness n spicyness unavoidable. Turn to Dharma n change into good karma free from ignorance. Master spoke very clearly n truly n we r very lucky to aware such knowledge without having going thru extensive studies n experieces. 🙏

Thank you for this wonderful talk. Here is my review: Ask Dharma protectors (deities and God) to remove obstacles. Have full faith in your dharma, lineage, scriptures and qualified guru. Your practice and wows are your own to follow. They need not tally with those of others. Do not need to justify to others. There is no need to get into comparisons or entertain criticism. Must not criticize others too. Let dharma stay and every one's faith improve as they make progress on their own spiritual path. Overall dharma will prevail. I am confidant about my dharma, my lineage , my scriptures and my deities and guru. I have faith in God and surrender to God's governance and seek God's refuge. (If you have doubts follow your own not my practice and faith.) (If you are questioning because you do not have knowledge, start at the preliminary level. You are not at a level to judge others who are at a higher level. one can follow one or many gurus. Keep pictures and statues of deities and gurus close by. Visualize them and ask for guidance and protection. Do pujas (worship, prayers) of these sacred. Make offerings. Do recitations and prostrations. Visit holy places. Get authorization from authentic original lineage guru before attending retreats. For Buddhism it has to be Tibetan lineage. Remember Buddhism has Tantrik practices which can be dangerous if not followed with care under protection.

I agree with you. We can hold 50 stanza (verses) of Guru devotion as the basis of our practice to bear in mind that our Guru is the root of our practice and we should have full confidence in our Guru. I would like to share with you an article on Guru Devotion, hope you enjoy it. Here is the link www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/complete-commentary-on-50-verses-of-guru-devotion.html. Do explore more of H.E Tsem Tulku Rinpoche's blog.

Okay, I guess the reasoning, the universes and our multiverses are always interconnected. The vows are good to maintain the essence of your practice - to ensure that you are always reminded why you started practicing in the first place. Though, they should be seen in appreciation and not negatively as the teacher literally takes a chance on you. A real guru wouldn't you to fail; and he/she is likely to feel more bad about it than the actual vow breaker [as the guru knows what awaits.] Having a guru who cares for you enough to give you vows is a great risk on the part of the guru as well - and if he is an authentic guru, he will feel responsible for you in some way. You not keeping your vows is pretty much the worst thing you can do - as your guru is your buddha, and breaking the vows to him is the same thing as breaking the vows to the buddha = you breaking your faith in the worst way...in a manner of speaking. That, and the fact that you had the chance to meet such a guru and you pay him back in such a way and cause him such pain/disappointment.. .....pretty much maketh you the biggest douche in your own life. Really like these videos.

[@dabeisyin]

can you do one at a time? right now i have no place to do prostrations so i have to focus on vajrasattva or something i can do that no one else can see or know that i am doing? because i live with ppl who are not buddhist.

[@wallaceclark7050]

[@gohjacinta28]
