To continue, I believe Tsem's interpretation of Christ is more in line with Gnostic Christianity, which teaches that the samsaric qualities of the universe stem from the creator god being crazy or malevolent, but he's not the supreme authority. The higher divinity manifested in Christ in order to awaken humanity from their ignorance, and was a direct rebellion to the existing god and religion at that time. Through the editing of scripture, Christ's murder was spun as an extension of God's will
#buddhafollower If we go to a person that is attained. Someone who has the correct view of the world. He/she would be able to help guide us and teach us the proper methods to be happier , kinder and more compassionate. It'll be much easier then, to find ourselves. Not everyone can do that. If we go to other people that makes us worst, I wouldn't want to find myself.
That's right shoujian. Hence holding our vows will be the determining factor whether our practice progresses or not. Hence, high incarnations like Tsem Rinpoche is consistent from birth. Something that is not like any of us and hence we should aspire towards such consistency.
Those who believe in god, do your actions reflect your beliefs or does it make you more of a pagan. If you believe in Buddha, does your actions reflect your believe in karma or does it make you someone who destroys other's view of Buddhism?
Its funny because monotheistic religion claims an almighty creator of our world is a powerful external omnipotent omniscient god while Buddhism smashes this concept to claim that the real creator is within ourselves and we too can be omnipotent and omniscient through mastering certain meditations.

It is not easy to "NOT" to change when one falls from rich to poor or go from poor to rich.
Rinpoche hold his vows really sincerely and i really feel it from the heart, and Rinpoche is so consistent!
I hope that i can learn more from him
