I feel so blessed to be able to hear this. How simple, direct and precise. Thank you, Rinpoche!

I wouldn't consider myself a Tantric practitioner but I am at a point where I view all the schools and sects of Buddhism as all coming from Shakyamuni Buddha and he revealed 84,000 Dharma doors for a very skillful reason! However I have found myself drawn to Tara recently in her Green, White, and Red transformation bodies. I think transformation body is the right term but not sure, maybe emanation or something more correct. Anyways I chant Om Mani Padme Hum morning and night like my Teacher taught me!

excellent, thank you Immensely.

It's so frustrating to see the people around you not see that this one life is so so important. How important it's to develop bodhicitta and help others gain merit. I always remember instances in which old people - both nice and bad praying, donating etc when they are close to death....hoping that it will help. I feel so bad. I want to have that chance to work for dharma and have the chance to develop bodhicitta. After following tsem Rinpoche for a few months and following his teachings on the blog site and here - I've been helped so much. He is very direct in about wanting to help you - and it's so very rare to come across such a great teacher.

Exactly. It's safe if you dont consider him as a Guru yet and is not comfortable with him, but dont tell others because you'll ruin their spirituality. If you consider someone as your Guru then see him in a negative light, that's gonna be very decrimental to you because you're biting the hand that feeds.

thank you for this :)

Sometimes he teaches in t-shirts and jeans, or sweatpants. In some ways it helps to destroy the foolish misconceptions we create and what we expect of teachers such as himself. He could be sitting there completely naked and that wouldn't matter, what he has to say and the teachings he has to share are what truly matters. Don't concern yourself with such superficial details and expectations. =)

At a more beneficial level for most of us it is acquainting w virtue through mindfulness n concentration.

I believe Rinpoche's lineage is Gelug - And those specific red/white robes are due to particular Tantric vows or intiations.

rinpoche can do it anyway he wants because he's divine.

Someone can please help me? I would like to know if receiving the teachings of such recording as this video, have the same effect of receiving the oral transmission from His Eminence himself. Has it the same effect of the direct oral transmission, it has the power that connects me with the original lineage?

I remembered v clearly that Rinpoche insisted that we stand upright b4 every prostration, but Rinpoche did not do so during the start of this video! Could some1 pls explain. Thanks

rinpoche also states do not question your guru at risk of needing first questioning yourself the same way i question a need to defend, what is happening?

There are just very few that are open to what they can potentially understand......

What is the name of the book mentioned at #29:50?

air con too loud? what is it? sorry to have a bf but annoying noises annoy me.

i have a question is this HE Tsem Tulku Rinpoche or someone else , i like both of them very much but would like to know who is who ?

Boddhi Cit is equal to the understanding what Christ consciousness is , am i right or is there a difference in the core of both different teachings ? the Christians say " unconditional love towards all of the creation ( God´s creation ) and the Buddhists say compassion but these are two words with the same meaning , there are very much similarities between those both religions only that the christians have God in the center of their philosophy or religion and the

I have to disagree to Kanazawa's attempt to explain the reason for Rinpoche's robe colour being due to his tantric vow or initiations, the simple reason being that every Lama in the Gelugpa sect. eg His Holiness and other Rinpoches all wear the same-coloured robes .... Rinpoche seems to be wearing robes like those from the Nyingmapa tradition. Could some1 pls explain if he/she knows why is this so, better if any1 has personally heard a satisfactory explanation from Rinpoche himself?

Why is he wearing a white robe...not a Tibetan style red robe? Is he a Nyingma, Kagyu rinpoche? I thought he attended a Gelukpa monastery, Ganden.

Mother Theressa was actually very cruel with her clients or victims she denied even for the youngest one any pain killer like morphine for ppl with cancer or something else on that level , she wanted them all to take part of " jesus ´s sufferings " , sorry but i cannot see anything compassionate in this person and i am wondering why you and other ones always mention her she was an evil person , have you ever seen a video from her so called home of those who die ? it is a horror they where not even allowed to be visited by their parents no nothing , how can you call such a person compassionate , she beat her stuff with her walking stick made of wood , when something was not according to her . how can you be so ignorant to the suffering of the dying ppl in her hospital which looked more like a prison , sorry but this is unacceptable for me , she may helped the sick and poor to get off the street but she was very cruel to all of them including her staff , if she is in heaven then i guess there will be also SS guys from hitler and other suspects and i don´t want to spend any time with them , these are awful cruel beings . sorry but this time i have to say no that is false and not correct .

Nope it does not. For an oral transmission, the teacher must acknowledge your presence and vice versa and thus can only happen in realtime.

You lost me with the Coke, dude. That stuff will make you diabetic. Ahimsa applies to one's self too.

i think he's hot.... i mean it is hot in malaysia... too hot for the red ones.
