What is GOD? What is BUDDHA? - Tsem Rinpoche

- It's important to understand what our religious directions are. What we should expect out of religion and what we should be expected to do if we accept a religion. There is nothing judgemental here or I am making criteria, but simply expressing how I feel we should apply our religious faiths for the benefit of ourselves, people around us and our planet. It is said religion can create heaven or hell within our world by some, but I think it's not the religion but our expression of it. Our expression of our religion is the potential happiness or havoc maker. Well without further ado, please listen to my thoughts in this 15 mins video extracted from the longer version.

TRANSCRIPT
I need everyone to go beyond taking refuge in a God, in a supreme being, and then throwing one’s problems onto this being and pushing away one’s responsibilities, and just doing prayers and mantras to say, “Solve my problems”. We need to go beyond that already.
We need to follow religion correctly. If religion was only about acceptance of a superior being and then everything is solved. Then the great prophets and masters such as Buddha and Jesus and all that would not have taught volumes of teachings on how to change your mind.
Jesus Christ taught volumes and volumes of teachings if you take the time to read. Acceptance of a God is just one small or one minor or one preliminary criteria. Same thing for Buddha, he taught for 40 years until he was 81.
If acceptance of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, taking refuge was enough to solve our problems and to release us of our predicaments, then Buddha doesn’t need to teach 108 volumes as in the Kangyur teachings. Kangyur is the spoken words of the Buddha. The bible is one book, in Buddhism, there are 108 bibles. Those were the spoken words of the Buddha, recorded and written very extensively.
My point, if it was just ok to come along and say “Oh, I made all these problems, solve it because I accept you”, then just all we need is half a page. In the Kangyur we need half a page, in the bible just half a page, it’s enough. It is so simple, just accept and everything is fine. You show me one person in this room, or anywhere in the world, by accepting everything is fine. I have accepted for 25 years, look at me, and I am still not fine.
How much more do you want me to accept? I’ve shaved off my hair. I’ve given up all the things that you consider pleasurable. And I’ve trapped myself as a monk. How closer do I need to get to my God? Oh my God! How closer do I need to get?
So, we make all these problems for 10, 20, 30 years, and then all these problems come back to us. And when these problems come back to us - our boyfriend wants to leave, our girlfriend wants to leave, our kids don’t listen to us anymore, our business is not working out, or we have too much money and we don’t know what to do with ourselves, we are bored, or we are too old - when all these problems come to us, then we say “Oh, let’s go to the temple”, “let’s go to the church”, “let’s go to the synagogue”, or whatever, and then we pray. And we pray fervently, religiously, voraciously, emotionally, dramatically in some cases. And we pray from the depth of our hearts for the God to remove all our problems.
Where can a God remove your problems? Whether it’s a Christian God, a Hindu God, a Buddhist God, or whatever God, where can a God remove your problems? That means every single one of us who are pious, and devout, and pray from our hearts should have zero problem. And trust me, you would be surprised that I have more problems than you and I am a monk. You would be surprised if you knew the problems that I have to deal with on a daily basis.
When you have for decades created all these problems for yourself, your own mind and your surroundings, and you go to a God and do one million Setrap mantras, one million Hail Marys, but your problems are still there. Well you have two ways to get rid of it, one is you give up the faith and say it doesn’t work, it doesn’t exist; or you reassess yourself and say, “Maybe that’s not the purpose of religion.”
Religion has degenerated. Partly my fault, your fault, all of our faults. Religion has degenerated into that - where we want an instant quick fix - for all the problems we have created for decades.
You go out and you say nasty things, you are mean to people, you hurt them, cheat them, lie to them, and you basically took things from them, and then you go to church and pray, “Dear God, can you please make them go away although I have cheated them, I have lied, I have stolen from them. But can you please make them go away? Because I am a devout follower of yours, I am your wonderful son and daughter, and you are a forgiving, kind and compassionate God.

I'm a follower of Christ and I found this video very very helpful (even if this monk is a buddhist). I agree with everything this monk is talking about, the one thing I never hear in a christian church (I wish there was a sermon like this) is for us to check ourselves too-especially since God won't spoon feed us all the answers. Thanks for posting this video and thanks Tsem Rinpoche's Dharma for talking about stuff that keeps me grounded
Search traditional Catholic sermons. I don't know if you are a Protestant. One of the major heresies for Baptist and Evangelicals in America is Once Saved Always Saved. That is crazy but that is what 90% of the Protestants believe. If you read get the book Preparation For Death by St. Alphonsus Liguori
I only knew of Rinpoche a few days ago, and just found out he has left in Parinirvana but his teachings and ideals really touch me
Thank you for the admins for updating more videos, His Holiness’s teachings really touch my heart on a spiritual level 🙏
Please watch every tsem rinpoche video again and again….it opens new perspectives after each few months
This is an incredible video, and no matter how many times I watch it, I always learn something new. Our purpose in life is not to throw our problems onto anyone or a divine being, but realise that, all that we feel, all that we suffer, what results we can have, are all within our own hands. Religion is our guide, our guide to have us realise that the change has to come from within ourselves, to change the situation we are in and the results that we will have. Religion is not about destroying harmony, fighting against one another - it is about fostering goodness, kindness, responsibility, integrity, hope, love, courage, peace. Thank you for this superb teaching. So much wisdom and truth in 15 minutes.
We need people like you in every religion...maybe then all living beings will live peacefully together...🙏🙏
Hi Kanwal, thank you so much for your compliment and indeed Rinpoche's wisdom and compassion is far beyond imagination. Hope the video benefited you and do visit Rinpoche's blog www.tsemrinpoche.com for more of Rinpoche's teaching.
@@choosookfun Thanks..I daily visit his blog now and feel blessed...If you ever visit him please give my regards to Tsem Rinpoche...🙏
Wow! This is an amazing talk. It is peels away at the layers of misconceptions of what real spiritual practice and what religion is really all about. There should be more religious leaders of all faiths that will preach such a message. The world would be a better place if more people practice true spirituality and true religion.
Wow well said!!💯👏 exactly WHY I chose buddhism😉🙏☸
EX muslim
Tsem Rinpoche, your straightforwardness is outstandingly amazing! Great talk. I really admire your witt.
This is a MUST WATCH video!
This video was posted 4 years ago, and I have listened it quite a number of times, and when I listen to it this time again, it still brings new insights. This is one of my favourite videos of Tsem Rinpoche. It is short and meaningful, and it directly counters the problem of our time: We have degenerated religion so much, that we take on religion to have a quick fix to our problems.
I was like most people who used to think like that, until I meet Tsem Rinpoche, who always focus on mind transformation from selfish to selfless, and focus on activities which benefit others. The Buddhism I learn from Tsem Rinpoche is very practical, and He always focus on applying the teaching on our daily lives. I really like this kind of Buddhism.
I think the video editor who edited this video from a 2 hour teaching video. It is really helpful.
Great advice. So true. Thank you.
I chant sutras and I feel the spiritual powers. My home previously was having several human spirits, always disturbing me with noises.
I so happened was told of a Sutra call the "white robe Kwan Yin Buddha sutra".
I chant every morning and realìsed that my home is now very peaceful.
I believe that Buddhist chants can help spirits as well.
Now every morning I chant, pray to all Buddhas and Amitofu to to bless my family and also all spirits that are trapped in my home.
This is my true experience.
Great teaching from H.E.Tsem Rinpoche in within 20 minutes!
after listening to this talk, now i know why Buddhism is sometimes called "a way of life" rather than a religion... its simply so universal and can be applied to anyone regardless of their spiritual beliefs.. a friend from a christian family told me that her mother said to her "Buddhism can help us be better Christians". wow!
Correct
Tsem Rinpoche is good in debate. His speech is very logic and deep. Many peoples cannot think of what he had thought. Every time after finished listen what Rinpoche shared with us, I feel refresh and my mind wisely.
Tsem Rinpoche's teaching is always direct , honest , logical and relational to the modern day people . If you sincerely wish to put into practice what the bible/ dharma teach, HE 's advice will be the guidance that will help on your spiritual training.
One of the best speech I've ever heard in my life.
Me too
~~~REFRESHING CONVERSATION~~~it is nice to hear your teachings...in english..thank you ...I am learning more about the teachings of the BUDDHA...and I have also learned a lot about JESUS...and know enough to understand that mankind is responsible for their own choices in life...as many masters have been sent to live among humanity to teach the principles of LOVE and COMPASSION...living in harmony with DIVINE LOVE and ORDER..
DIVINEMatrix999 Thank you for comment. Rinpoche's teaching always reminding us to check ourselves as all sufferings and problems we faced are created by Us. H.E constantly reminds us to transform our mind by generating love and compassion for all beings and not just 'US'. Do visit Rinpoche's blog for more wisdom : www.tsemrinpoche.com
+DIVINEMatrix999 its is nice to hear your comment....Buddha teach on LETTING GO and NON ATTACHMENT.... attachment and holding give us suffering, its not like we have to give up every thing , as this example given to from older monk, he said as we sit comfortably in Air condition room every day and one day if this air conditioner broken down and then if we start to complain hot hot..then we are attach to it.now we suffer..because of attachment comfort of Air conditioner... it doesn't mean that we should remove the AC and start used to live with out it when we have a one ..we should use what every we have with out attaching them, with understanding of every this is not permanent all subject to decay, even our bodies... practicing our mind is the only thing we should do that not decaying ... Please do visit Rinpoche blog and take benefits from teaching www.tsemrinpoche.com... I wish May the Dharma penetrate deep in to your mind... :-)
Tsem Rinpoche is deep. His words come from profound meditation, & he speaks the truth.
Great speeech!!
It filled my mind with different feelings.
Thanks!!!!
Wow...one of the best videos. So straightforward and ‘powerful’ . Thank you ripoche🙏🏻
This is the most wise words that I never hear before ! This brings me anwers and peace to me, thank you to be very honest, this is what people need, the real dharma Thank you Than you Thank you
Brilliant speech.
Hi 4113n, more of Rinpoche talks can be found here www.tsemrinpoche.com/audio-teachings
I am a Muslim and what he say make sense. He make me think and make me a better Muslim
Wonderful full sir, where are you from?
So well said and so true. Thank you. One thing I can say from personal experience is that when one accepts the teachings of Christ and asks for a new life or attitude, we are changed by God within the heart and we are given a new, heavenly nature whereby our “want to” mechanism is changed and we find we no longer WANT TO do the old things or engage in the old life or the way we lived. This is dying to self and what is termed as being “Born Again” and it is permanent. This is what the Christ nature or Buddha nature does for us... it is an internal change that gives us more compassion and love which causes a personal transformation.
Simple, yet powerful and inspiring teaching.
Open my lips Oh Lord and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Create in me a clean heart Oh God
And renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence,
And take not your Holy Spirit from me-but give me the joy of your saving help
And renew me with your bountiful Spirit. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy spirit as it was in the beginning now and ever shall be world without end .Amen
Recorded of King David from the psalms I think and one of my favorite, I pray it every day.
I also study Buddhas teachings and Sutras along with the Bible and Bhagavad Gita and practice Zazen as well as pray. I believe all these graceful practices will help put more much needed positive spiritual energy in the world. Thanks for your insightful Dharma discusssion.
Wow, finally someone is telling the truth about religion. Great job!
Sammybizness Come check out Tsem Rinpoche's blog :)
Sam Olmos Sikhism tells the same...and more deeply based on science
Wow. Really powerful speech. This is the third video I watched from TSem Rinpoche. I'm thrilled with your speech and all are true. Thanks for those teaching and guidance. Appreciate much and looking forward for more.
Thank you very much for watching and your comment Victoria. Have u visited Tsem Rinpoche`s blog @ www.tsemrinpoche.com ? Definitely worth to explore for more teachings and inspiration. :)
Great awakening speech 🙏🏻 🌺 🙏🏻 💐 🙏🏻 🏵️
Years ago I was lead to believe that to practice Nichiren’s Buddhism correctly, one had to attend meetings and belong to an organisation. Nowadays I’ve come to understand that anyone, regardless of whether they become a ‘member’ of a group or not, can benefit from their own personal practice.
The reason for this is that the Law myoho-renge-kyo represents the identity of what some scientists refer to as the ‘unified field of all consciousnesses’. In other words, it’s a sound vibration that is the essence of all of existence and non-existence, the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source.
Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the true creator of everything that is, ever was and ever will be, right down to the minutest particles of dust, each being an individual ripple or wave.
The big difference between chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middle man’ to connect us to our state of enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves by tapping directly into it by way of self-produced sound vibration.
On the subject of ‘Who or What Is God?’, when we compare the concept of ‘God’, as a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to Nichiren’s teachings, the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people call ‘God’ is our enlightenment, which exists nowhere else but within us.
When the disciples asked Jesus where the Kingdom of God is, didn’t he tell them that it was within them?
Some say that ‘God’ is an entity that can never be seen. I think that the vast amount of information that is constantly being conveyed via electromagnetic waves gives us proof of how an invisible state of ‘God’ could actually exist.
It’s widely known that certain data being relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects, including instant global awareness of something or mass emotional reaction. As well as many other things, it’s also common knowledge that these waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to even enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars. However, none of this is possible without a receiver to decode the information that is being transmitted. Without the receiver, the information would remain impotent.
In a very similar way, it’s important for us to have our ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our life, all other life and what we and all else that exists truly is. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach into the core of our enlightenment and switch it on. That’s because the sound vibration of ‘myoho-renge-kyo’ represents the combination of the three major laws that underlie all existence.
‘Myoho’ represents the Law of latency and manifestation (Nature), and consists of two alternating states. One state of ‘myo’ is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists. This includes our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them, our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re not being expressed, our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma, and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ‘ho’, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes obvious to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory, whenever we experience or express our emotions, or whenever a good or bad effect manifests from our karma.
When anything becomes apparent, it simply means that it has come out of the state of ‘myo’ (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ‘ho’ (manifestation). It’s simply the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing something.
The second law, ‘renge’, governs and controls the functions of ‘myoho’, ‘ren’ meaning cause and ‘ge’ meaning effect. The two laws of ‘myoho’ and ‘renge’, both functions together simultaneously, as well as underlies all spiritual and physical existence.
The final and third part of the tri-combination, ‘kyo’, is what allows the law ‘myoho’ to be able to integrate with the law ‘renge’. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects together all Life and matter, as well as the past, present and future. It is often termed the Universal Law of Communication. Perhaps it could even be compared to the ‘string theory’ that some scientists now suspect exists.
Just as our body cells, thoughts, feelings and all else are constantly fluctuating within us, everything in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux, in accordance with these three laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of ‘myo’ and ‘ho’ in a single moment than it would ever be possible for us to calculate or describe. And it doesn't matter how big or small, important or trivial that anything may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now, or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of 'myoho-renge-kyo'.
These three laws are also the basis of the four fundamental forces and if they didn't function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. Simply put, all forms of existence, including the seasons, day and night, birth, death and so on, are all moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation, rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two universal states of ‘myo’ and ‘ho’ in absolute accordance with ‘renge’ and by way of ‘kyo’. Even stars are dying and being reborn in accordance with the workings of what the combination ‘myoho-renge-kyo’ represents.
‘Nam’, or 'Namu', on the other hand, is a password or a key; it allows us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘myoho-renge-kyo’. On a more personal basis, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives from moment to moment, as well in our environment.
By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is turning, and rhythmically chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo for a minimum of ten minutes daily, anyone can experience actual proof of its positive effects in their life.
In so doing, we can pierce through even the thickest layers of our karma and activate our Buddha Nature (enlightened state). We’re then able to bring forth the wisdom needed to challenge, overcome and change our negative circumstances into positive ones. It brings forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that is preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we truly are, regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexual preference. We are also able to see and understand our circumstances and environment more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations.
Actual proof soon becomes apparent to anyone who chants the words Nam-myoho-renge-kyo on a regular daily basis. Everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect, so the strength of the result from chanting depends on dedication, sincerity and determination. To explain it more simply, the difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, or producing a song and so on.

On personal practice: it will be good to follow a lineage and hence we will have a valid practice and yes, in the end, it depends on our practice, how well we can hold our vows and the effort we put in Dharma.
On conventional prayers: I don't agree on 'middle man" as when each time we chant mantra, we are tapping the energy of the specific deity directly. Mantra can even heal us and lead us to enlightenment but with the guidance of a teacher(if your middle man is Guru, and to this extent I will agree as we need someone can guide us physically because we are not at that level to talk to Buddha just yet)here th-cam.com/video/ap_PUUnVjEQ/w-d-xo.html here
www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/mantras-holy-words-of-power.html and here th-cam.com/video/3vTLrc-Yirg/w-d-xo.html
Really really thank you for what you've shared here and when you first talked about this mantra, it reminds me of Tina Turner www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/film-tv-music/tina-turner-the-powerful-buddhist.html Are you still practicing this mantra daily?
Do you know that there's a good book about mantra and I think you'll learn more from it John Blofeld, Mantra: Sacred words of Power www.amazon.com/Mantras-Sacred-Words-John-Blofeld/dp/052547451X This book recommended strongly by Rinpoche.
The teaching about God and belief is very comprehensive. It explains very well what spirituality means, how we are responsible to our lives but no one else is.
Great video!
thanks Rinpoche. Love this video!
Thank you, wanwaimeng. I'd been on the blog before, so stimulating and rich.

Dear Pavithra Melpal, thank you very much for watching one of the most amazing teachings by oru Gurr, HE 25th Tsem Rinpoche during Wesak Day some years ago. This teaching was conducted in Kechara House in Malaysia. Since them HE Tsem Rinpoche has personally conceptualised and created a very holy and spiritual place called Kechara Fforest Retreat located about an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur (Capital of Malaysia). Please visit HE Tsem Rinpoche's blog at www.tsemrinpoche.com for many, many more teachings, resources, prayers, high res images and even to ask a Pastor in Kechara any questions that you may have. Great to hear that this teaching is great and do continue to watfch HE Tsem Rinpoche's videos which are created for the benefit of all. Thank you.
Thank you Rinpoche- good wake up call
Amazing insights
He is so real
Dhanyavaad
Thank's a lot Tsem Rinpoche
Hi Fernando,
If you like short teaching videos from H.E. Tsem Rinpoche, you can see many more here: www.tsemrinpoche.com/dharma-bites
Love how he brings in Jesus. Finally someone who understands that Abrahamic religions are also deeply metaphysical.
Definately, it has been twisted to meet the demands of those in power. Christian mysticism has been lost to all but a few, there is amazing knowledge to be gained from Christianity. I had a dislike for it until I looked further and realised all religions are different paths to the same goal
I don't know may be I'm wrong , I have heard jesus learnt knowledge from near Nepal or India region yogis I heard it from my reiki master
@@Jay-br2ud Yeah Jesus came in India and travelled various holy places like Jagannath(Lord of Universe) city, etc. That's why his teachings reflects teachings of Sanatan Dharma or Hinduism as well. Hare Krishna!
This is absolutely correct great speech practical thank u so much all my ideology what i have in my mind i experienced in this speech.just wow
Rimpoche, you explain so extremely well that finally I start to get a faint idea...tears
This passage make my life easier! Thanks for sharing
Dear Marsun, Do check out Rinpoche's blog for great content. www.tsemrinpoche.com
Amazing speech. In adressing the main problems.
'Responsibility' for your own negative actions and misperceptions are the key. Most people are unaware, and others are too scared to face what they have done /do on a regular basis. No judgment - it's very scary to do so at the beginning. But, you have to start sometime and realize that it's never going to stop.
Bad intentions degrade religion and strip it's spiritual essence. That's perhaps the worst form of abuse - as dharma is what leads one out of samsara. To degrade it is the same as stopping all beings from achieving enlightenment.
I wish all would just think, feel, and see beyond it all. Even for a second, it might just be enough...
Beautiful speaking 🌸🍃
crazy how most of the world doesn’t get this.
Wao THUJECHEE Rinpoche laa

Modern Christianity is perfect for western society who want to do very little, but expects a lot.
+Carolyn B Do you believe in what Buddha has taught or in Supreme God?
+Max Bosco That was my opinion based on my experience, not what he said. However at 5:12 he said"(in reference to all religions): " ......Religion has degenerated into that, where we want an instant quick fix for all the problems we've created for decades".
+Carolyn B Oh... I see. Looks like you've gone through a lot here. That's life right?
Many turned to spirituality only when they have problems. Also... this instant quick fix is where disappointment will arise as many expect for miracles in that instant.

buddhism is very clear
Couldn't agree more. Buddhism is all about logic. It does not encourage blind faith
Jacinta Goh there is great difference in traditional buddhism and zen buddhism zen is not religion it's the besic understanding of our true self there is not such as saint or sinner in zen the good thing about zen is you can not juge thing by mind that help you to live healthful life

Hi there... looks like you do know Mandarin ya.. hehehe... First time to Rinpoche's youtube? Here is Rinpoche's blog www.tsemrinpoche.com . More blessings and guidance can be found over there. It's like online Dharma Learning Centre and Rinpoche will be there most of the time. Do put comments as Rinpoche does read it! What's more, when you are having problems, you can also seek help from Pastor www.tsemrinpoche.com/ask-the-pastors or perhaps join our blogchat here www.tsemrinpoche.com/chat
Beautifully explained.
Hi Tharani, Where are you located? Do visit out beautiful retreat center in Bentong if you are in Malaysia. Thanks.
This is by far the best speech I’ve heard explaining the purpose and nature of religion. I’ve listened to it twice today. Thank you!
Artist Katrina Brennan In any religion, whether we want to accept it or not, it’s up to us and we should not enter into a force- feed religion. We need to contemplate and then come to our own conclusion. Just like Einstein never said that He created gravity, cosmology or a whole list of other subjects. He simply observed it and came to a conclusion, and then developed its theory based on his observation.
I’m glad it helps. Do head on to www.tsemrinpoche.com for a whole range of other interests such as UFO, Bigfoot, Places and etc.
Thanks brother for your exelent explanation. Brother you know that there are people who are making money using religion. Your sermon on religion, what it is, and how people have been deceived because of religion. Yes it is powerful. Hope people understand what you said. Jesus , Buddha teaching is very beneficial in our life, only thing that we should understand their teachings. But the people have interpreted in many ways, creating confusion. May your sermons be beneficial and helpful to people to change their life. I love the teaching of Buddha. Thanks.

The purpose of religion is to transform our mind into good quality. The prayer we recite is for us to achieve what we want. In Buddhism, we Accept we create all the problems which make us suffer.
He made some good points
And the teachings of Buddhism is very similar to the teachings of the Torah. To live righteously is to enter the gates of wisdom. The subtle difference is not to eliminate desires but to harness this energy for good works. It is not the self that we seek but to live harmoniously with people and the environment.
Great sermon. Righteousness has no religious boundaries.
I was touched by this monks video over a year ago (even though I'm a follower of Jesus Christ). I'm watching this video now (again, more then a year ago) and the only thing I can say is religion shouldn't be turned into a game of charades. Therefore, as a follower of Christ, I should get off my butt and live thanks to Tsem rinpoche, this monk is a genius!
Interesting and informative. I find it logical and well explained. Nice, soothing background music but a tad too loud.
I love tsem rinpoche’s spunk.. he is lowkey funny but makes so much sense...
This is how Rinpoche teaches the Dharma. He can be funny at times. In this 21st century, I think we all need some funny but relevant elements to instill the Dharma teachings in our mind. Do check out Rinpoche's blog for more teachings. @Who Cares, thank you for watching.
