Tsem Tulku is sincere guru. thk u !

[teliael]

same here!! it was more like visiting temples for fun rather than to learn the Dharma. Despite all the visits, my mind still never transformed and I was still a monster to people around me. It was only when I followed my Guru all the way that my mind started to transform. This video is so true, it's creepy...

[adpaisley]

very very true indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It only shows how much Rinpoche cares!!!

Today's practitioners have a lot of distractions and mostly come from a background of materialism and consumerism. Hence, we find that we bring that sort of attitude towards our practice and our relationship with our Guru. It is sad because in the end, we don't get the attainments because our motivation was wrong.

What is holy and unholy is really subjective because many attribute holiness to external appearances but actually inner qualities like generosity, perseverance, etc etc.

[frozbyte23]

What is holy and not holy to us are merely concepts or conventions to us. Hence, a distant high Lama who comes once a year and only tells us nice things and never challenges us does not benefit us. Then the Lama who teaches us and challenges us all the time and has been very kind to us in so many ways but doesn't have a high throne or title. But he has been very patient and tells us off a lot to improve us. It is to this humble Lama, we prostrate to and pay obeisance.

Conclusion:

This video is about the difference between a high Lama and an ordinary Lama? No difference when they both have compassion. However for us, the Lama who is near us and teaches us is according to his means is kinder than the High Lama who comes once in awhile. So we should stick to our Lamas who are near us.

YSH!!!! You are so holy! - An acronym coined by Tsem Rinpoche to poke fun at those who are superficially holy.

[Dungkar80]

The message we send to our through our body, speech and mind is not as strong as that we send to ourselves. Why? Because what we send to others may be filtered, have double meaning etc. However, we ourselves know what our real intent and that fuels further habituation and we can't never lie to ourselves.

thank you rinpoche for this direct teaching to our mind, i use to think i am holy like what you talk about in this video, very correct, i think attend few teaching or attend other lama with initiation is holy, which is not actually. i will need to follow what your instruction is, be kind to others, have compassion for others. that most likely is holy.

[Dungkar80]

If we can't see our Lama's good qualities, how can we see him as the Buddha Vajradhara when we actually receive initiations to practices that can alter our karma and decide our next rebirth?
