@neothespian yeah i think at that time rinpoche was pushing some of his students to push themselves to go to the next level to write. Rinpoche also said when we wake up in the morning we have set a good thought, so we set the tone ( environmental causes ) for the rest of the day. If we create good environmental causes ( in our minds) , more positive karma can manifest and the bad ones cannot full manifest as a result.
Rinpoche has a blog too, on twitter and facebook. Also there is a forum.
Solid simple response to failure. I love it! When we fail, we are letting our ego and our desire to not lose face dictate our actions in the face of adversity. To give into that fear of failure is a form of laziness. We all need this reminder (including myself)
And, yes, he's very effeminate but he also embodies one of the greatest attributes that one could have: Humor. He is honest in all action, and can laugh at even the most uncomfortable subject, and his security perhaps angers some.
Failure or success are concepts in our samsaric existence. Homage to the Three Jewels and Dharma is all that matters when we finally leave this physical body we all cherish and look after day in and day out.
Winners and successful people are those that keep trying and failing many times over before they finally hit the jackpot. We encounter setbacks for everything in our life but doesn't mean that we should give up especially if it is our spiritual practice.
Dear Redtortoise76: No worries because none taken. I have heard from many that he is gay-acting and feminine at times especially when he starts joking. I don't know why but I think High Lamas have combined both male and female energies so it manifest in what you call gay body language and mannerisms.
Successful people whether in spiritual or worldly life dare to fail tremendous amount of time before they succeed. Losers are those who refuse to fail or give up easily.
You know...very simple. Buddha said that those who think they will fail or cannot do it is a huge form of laziness. Laziness will not bring one attainments or Buddhahood. I have to tell myself everyday.

I really like this Lama, and I don't say this as an offense at all, but by voice and body language and mannerisms this man is a gay man
