Karma & its Relations to Vows (1 of 2) - Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.พ. 2025
- We want higher teachings, tantric initiations and INSTANT ENLIGHTENMENT, yet upon close inspection we find that even to apply the basic law of cause and effect in our daily lives is very hard for us...If we build a strong foundation based on ethics, compassion and a pure relationship with our spiritual guide, transformation can come naturally.
His Eminence Tsem Tulku Rinpoche shows us here just how deeply our self-centered mind pervades our entire existence and how crucially important it is for us to become an embodiment of the basic goodness that will lead us on.

Pray for your swift return and I look forward to receiving your teachings soon
I loved the part he says he likes to watch movies reciting mantras! "Half negative action, half positive"... he is so funny!! Maybe I'll try to recite some mantras along my netflix watching too, heheheh... what a priviledge to be here in my house in Bahia, Brazil, cleaning my kitchen and listening to this guru!! Thank you all that made this possible!
Pearls of wisdom. Thank you.
He speaks The Truth, the whole Truth, nothing but the Truth…🙏🙏🙏❤
Wish there were more teachers like you... :)
Thank you!
i saw guru rinpoche today. really.
I used to watch these videos 6 yrs ago....I don't know why I am being drawn back here.
its been six more years Amit, time to come back again! :)
I also live in a place where it's very rare to even come across someone who holds very basic Buddhist beliefs; yet I have a great interest and passion for Buddhism.
you guys in Malaysia must be very happy to have such an excellent teacher like HE Rinpoche , if i would have the chance i would come to Malaysia , to Kechara , right now you and the videos are my teacher , thank you really very very much for these teachings , i have learned a lot from these videos , only that i feel that i know nothing compared to that amount of knowledge you are presenting here .
keep on the good work :)))

We are very fortunate, to have Rinpoche in Malaysia and he benefits also Malaysians and the world over. Do prepare yourself and a teacher will manifest himself to you.
Sadhu sadhu sadhu.
Beautifully taught. thank you!
rinpoche is my hero.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so very much. I enjoyed this greatly, including your wonderful beautiful hands dancing the words as you spoke. Thank you, also, for being so funny. Some of my chuckles escaped ... out loud. सबै तपाईं गरेको छ लागि धन्यवाद
Hi Granny Bear come on www.tsemrinpoche Rinpoche blogs a lot on his blog.
i like the down to earth teachings like i am trying to focus on the eight verses of mind transformation, and memorize that first. but i have a headache today.
Amazing amazing amazing
Thank you for uploading so much content!
There is step-wise elevation of spiritual progress. There is no short-cut.
We must start with the initial level and watch our progress and readiness, as revealed by stability of mind, clarity and lack of doubt and peace.
The teachings must not be kept secret, knowledge revealed A to Z, and clear explanations offered by a good guru.
The notes taken should be thoroughly corrected and debated upon to make sure of the authenticity of the meaning intended.
Must continue with the basic practices of taking refuge, puja, to increase devotion, develop purity by constantly practicing all the dos and don'ts to maintain receptivity and continue to acquire knowledge from a qualified teacher.
Higher level is for those who have reached that level. There should not be impatience or ego.
very good video , have not reached the end but until yet i can say it was shaking my core , now i start to understand certain things in my life , you would do me a great favour with an advice on how to fix the situation
What is being shaken? Did you hold on to certain beliefs that this video addressed it?
i was shaken by the true words of HE Rinpoche in the first part of the video ( i always had doubts and a bit fear to read through my mantras on the other hand i had luck at every accident i should have been dead many times , something bad happens but i always came out of the situation , so i never knew did i caused the problems or did i had only luck because of the mantras , this thought bothers me since a very long time and this video gave me the answer
Rewatching:
This time, the part about the preliminary practices seemed to stand out more for some reason. I've been reading as much as I can about dharma (both the philosophical and logical sides) but not really been balancing it well with meditation and practise.
Though we need to practise the principles throughout the day, time accorded to strict study and mediation must be assigned - especially for procrastinating featherbrains like me 😂 really envy those estj type individuals who can control everything in their lives.
Need to really readjust the scales and try harder.
Keep your faith and follow Dharma. Follow your lineage.
Follow pure Dhrama from authentic qualified sources.
Keep your commitments.
This should improve your own faith.
Stay away from prejudice, doubt, and lower level unqualified sources.
Even when other lineage dharmas are discussed, if what is common is brought out (instead of comparisons being made), it brings us closer to the truth and again increases our own faith as a right path.
Yes do look out for more gems on www.tsemrinpoche.com , where are you based?
@@wanwaimeng I am in USA in San Francisco bay area. I thoroughly enjoyed your talk and have simply reviewed the same in comments. Thanks again.
@@MahimaSaxena The talks is all by Tsem Rinpoche.
Wow
This account of the lama Chogyam Mahasiddha is very interesting and someone relieving. I just read the other day about Jude Campbell and her experience with a Tibetan lama-- highly respected. Perhaps this situation with Jude Campbell is similar. I don't know. Just a thought I had in hearing this account.
ZionRebirth .Tello I think just calling actions as 'crazy wisdom' is not a passport for just anyone to be able to do such actions. If people acts in ways that harms others and it is obvious this person is not enlightened and did not do it with any concern, care or compassion for others then there will be karma and does not constitute an enlightened action.
Exactly
If the foundation is not firm, then any structure built upon it is shaky.
OMG THAT HORROR STORY AT THE STARTING THO :-X
His Eminence is completely right - unless you are that good at preliminaries, grounded in bodhicitta - you really shouldn't chase the higher tantras - as the result sounds pretty terrifying, to be honest. That and too many demonic possession movies -_-
IDK much, but to be worthy of the higher tantras, compassionate determination, bodhicitta and hardwork must work in hand in hand and be a source of strength to you - and serving others/wanting the best for them must be the top of every list in your life. That's pure dedication, that is.
Personally, looking at my loooong list on ineptitudes, I'm way too chicken to even consider anything like it. [low self esteem is not always a bad thing - it can make you look at yourself critically at times lol]. Honestly, I just like listening to Dharma discourses a lot, and reading the texts Rinpoche talks about[the blogsite] and outlines for developing a good base in Buddhism. Since its made a positive impact in my life so far, I really do treasure this opportunity to just learn the basics.
'Cos if you mess with something like this, you are SO in for it and so are people around you. Still, we DO need more amazing people like His Eminence who can help people out in situations of black magic and all that freaky business. Why people do that shit I honestly can't understand. The effects of all that will just ensure a nice extended* stay in one of the three lower realms. I mean, if you had ANY common sense you'd be doing your best - busting your ass to do dharma, not weird shit like that...as those things WILL get you [cos nothing is free] someday and then, of course there is the repressions of your karma to consider.
P.S. In case weird shit is hanging around me - I'd be more than fine to have a guru yell at me. Totally fine...
Sometimes, I envy atheists. I really, really do.
Major John Riley...LMAO. The master became who he needed to be? Sounds interesting!
I need to read this book now.
have you gotten the book?
@@abbyfoo9495 yep! Going to start soon :)
Experienced wise Buddhist monk's advice for our protection -
dangers of tantrik, mediums, spirits, demons giving suggestions for our downfall or taking control
if we are not protected by God, deities, guru, our current practice teacher AND our receptivity and preparation which must include:
accepting God's governance and seeking shelter
devotion to deities, doing pujas
revelation of mantra to a guru or rishi by deities
permission for recitation of mantra
initiation of us as practitioner and accepting a guru's guidance
initial purification practices
taking of vows- mainly don'ts (to stay away from negativity)
maintaining practices, vows, mainly Dos to maintain purity
after permission and correct teaching of mantra reciting the same and doing pujas.
Developing Bodhichitta
By who?
..... thanks for the warning about mantras etc. i have deleted the other posts
Tantric mantras?
as i started my spiritual practice with ha - tha yoga i came to tantric mantras from the shaiva shakta kashmir tradition , i got me a book called the Haidakhandi sapta sati , it takes 2 hours to read through the book and chant the mantras ( usually they use these mantras for the yagna fire ceremonies ) , i remember that i got a warning not to read these mantras with an un-pure heart but i thought it is o.k. for me ( that was an illusion , now i can see it , at that time i was too ignorant ) , these are very strong mantras
Dear Rinpoche, you talk much about lineage and guru devotion, but as an American (West Virginia) who is searching for a place to learn more about the Dharma and sincerely fight my habits, how can I be sure I chose the right place?
how can you concentrate on mantra and watch dvd's? u my hero. what's the ten refuge vows? i only took five precepts so i don't know the other five. thanks.
Should I stop reciting om mani padme hum?
should I not tape a picture of chenrezig to my wall?
I wonder, if anyone could give advice. I don't want to get into anything that'll confuse me.
ZionRebirth .Tello Was the video saying one should stop reciting om mani padme hum?
Can you please provide the author name and title. I would love to read the book.
The Mahāsiddha And His Idiot Servant by John Riley Perks
@@sengpiowloh8579 Thank you so much. Many blessings to you and your family.😁
at 38:00 is it better to stop any practice what so ever to stop the negative influence ? in my case there is no teacher available , so what to do ?
Why do you think it is better to stop your practice to stop the negative influence? You couldn`t hold your vow or because of habituation? Or only because without a qualified teacher? Thank you :)
i think both , but more because there was no qualified teacher . Maha Mudra is an advanced initiation but at that time i was not ready for it as HE Rinpoche has explained in the video , i feel like i have to start all over again , i have the feeling to know nothing ( despite all i have done to learn ) , the accidents i had came all after that initiation and now i fear that without the guidance of an experienced teacher it would be wrong to go ahead , specially because i come from a shaiva shakta tradition of ha tha yoga ( this is my fundament or basis ) i need someone who can tell me what the right thing to do is , i don´t feel so advanced to be able to give the Bodhisattva vow ( now , 20 years earlier i thought differently and i was way more ignorant then today .)
i just feel very unsure , i want to avoid further negative influence , see i did not even know what lam rim is and this is the very basic , that is why i think it is better to get an advice how to practice and start all over again .
thank you very much for your kind reply , i really need some advice on what to do now ( i would like to continue but not in a wrong direction ) and thanks for that eye opening video i always thought it can only have good effects ( once i asked the Lama who gave the initiation to me if this can be taken back , he just laughed and said it is o.k. that way )
25:00 it's so scary the story you just told.
How do you define negative action?
It causes harm
May I know what is the title of the book?
The Mahāsiddha and His Idiot Servant
Book by John Riley Perks
i had a terrible night after i watched the first part of the video , i really need some advice on how to proceed , i have done a lot of mistakes , it would be really very kind if someone from the team as i know Rinpoche has no time for it , could help me out , if you need further information just ask , thank you very much ( and excuse my initial aggression , i got very agitated when i started watching . )
How are you doing now?
thank you for your reply , i am not feeling very well , i have this issue since a couple of years , the problem is that i got the Maha Mudra initiation way too early , i don´t even know what lam rim is ( the basic ) , i have given a vow like everyone must do to get this initiation but as HE Rinpoche explained i was not mature enough to do this and when i look back many problems came after this initiation , at a certain time i lost my way completely and now i understand this was due to my un-pure heart or mind / soul how ever you call it and reading / chanting Mantras ( HE Rinpoche explained that this can be a doorway for evil spirits and negative energy )
retrospektive i start to understand why certain problems came back and a lot of new ones came too , a lot of bad energy , i had many accidents , i can´t count my new birthdays ( broke my back but miraculously i can walk , i should have been dead or at least paralyzed but i had luck , every 2 years something big happened , the last accident was my flat it burned down ( i lost everything ) and so on , i always thought this must be happening due to my bad Karma from previous lifetimes and maybe also this one . I don´t want to go into detail and count up the things which happened to me , i know now what the problem is and try to find a way out .
my question is what can i do , to fix the whole thing , i know a vow cannot be taken back , once given you have to do according to your vow , as i have no other teacher then these videos here , what would you suggest me to do , i have stopped chanting mantras as i feel unsure and fear that it could bring more harm to my family and me .If i could i would take back the vow and wait until someone like HE Rinpoche would advice me to do so , 20 years ago i was hunting knowledge and initiations now i see how wrong i was ( Lama Ole Nydahl said it is no problem but i know now very well it is a huge problem )
this video was a real eye opener to me .
Thank you very much for your reply , right now you and your team are my teachers ( i don´t have any one else except my ha tha yoga teacher but it is very difficult for me to see him as he moved away and is very old )
