Ven. Choden Rinpoche of Sera Je Monastery, one of the highest of the Gelug lamas, was virtually unknown outside Tibet until 1985. He neither escaped his country after 1959 nor was imprisoned; instead, he lived in a house in Lhasa, never leaving his small, dark, empty room for nineteen years, even to go to the toilet, and never cutting his hair and beard.

here there are no troubles, no drama and no woes, only the pervasive poise of the serene. However, the moments drop away into the bright luminious of all that is, has or will be, (C), 2007, Tashi Pema Dorje

Hold me now in the dark night of samsara, that I may cherish others for all of my days Which like dew on the morning grass, show's it''s conditioned nature to be fading, fading, As a rainbow in the gentle breeze. Tashi Pema Dorje 
If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.

–His Holiness the Dalai Lama 
Chandrakirti explained three types of compassion: compassion aimed at suffering, aimed at phenomena, and unaimed. With the first, we look at animate beings in light of their suffering and develop the wish for them to be free from both that suffering and its causes. One source of their suffering is their unawareness that they even have any problems, let alone their not knowing the causes of their problems. For example, our friend becomes upset at the slightest thing that goes wrong and sees th...

Rinpoche said please practice as much as you can, life is not long, the nature of this life is impermanent and death can happen at anytime. This is the foundation of Buddha’s teachings, and this was the last advice Buddha gave, before showing the aspect of passing away.

Why is the sphere of the egocentric mind so pervasive in modern society? We pride ourselves upon the notion of being civilised and evolved so much so that we feel it necessary to offer advice to others when all the while our advice is rendered useless in the light of our own interest. Given this is a generalisation by definition, however how many of us do away with the need to criticise others {those possessing mental continua and/or inanimate objects; only to focu... read more 
When we find the reference of yab and yum (masculine/feminine consort or father/mother consort) applied to deities, we shouldn't make the obvious mistake of assuming that this has to do with male/female in the physical sense. The deities are not male and female beings, but masculine and feminine energies. The bipolar imagery of the masculine and feminine illustrates the primordial union of appearance (or form) and emptiness. One of the descriptions of this imagery is that the masculine aspect...
