Pitty that I just ran across H.E Tsem Rinpoche couple days ago Jun/21 after his passing.. luckily technology keep his teachings alive, I wished I could had paid him a visit and meet him in person to pay him a respect. Swiftly reincarnation your holiness, much love and respect
The same thing happened to me. I discovered these videos about a month or two ago, and I only found out that he had passed two days ago. I'm posting this on 1 June, 2022. I truly believe that bodhisattvas use technology like the internet to disseminate the Dharma, and it's an immense blessing to receive these teachings even though Tsem Tulku Rinpoche is no longer with us in the form that he was in these videos. I hope that he has blessed your life and will continue to bless us with teachings through these videos. I live in the United States, so until recently it was very difficult to encounter the Dharma. It's still pretty difficult, but now that we have access to videos like this, that's changing. I hope that you are having a wonderful day (or night depending where you are) and that these videos bring you the same blessings that they've brought me.
What’s amazes me, is towards the end where he talks about the place he wants to establish and all he wants to create, he really did it. Kechara is a huge center now. He really did accomplish what he wanted to before his passing. 🙏🏼☸️
Tsem Tulku Rinpoche is a Bodhisattva. We can clearly see him how much teaching he wants to give. Amazing love. I guess he is already back. My prayer for him to coma back soon.
Only the Guru can take care of us in such an all encompassing manner - from the time we are alive till death and next life. This is a rare and precious teaching. Thank you Rinpoche.
Incredible. Buddha's teachings encompasses everything from beginning, middle to end. From beginning of 'life' to beginning of the death process. Also why we are dying, how to die peacefully, why the methods He teaches can help us to die peacefully... Rinpoche is incredible for teaching us all of this, in English and in language we can understand.
To see him live, is total amazing, eye saw him in Portland Or. Eye was blown away at the event. It was small and there was only about 25-30 people there. He guided us right through the process of death and assisted us all in the process. That energy just filled the room and we were all feeling as though we were in a trance. Love the Death Process and eye have been practicing for about 10yrs now and life becomes so much more beautiful.... You see the unfolding process.
Only in Buddhism we find this meditation process of training and familiarising about death. It helps us to prepare oneself for that ultimate journey. The concept of death is such a huge taboo in all cultures... it is high time we look at it positively. Thank you for this sharing Rinpoche. May this teaching give light to many!
Hello Mary, thank you very much for watching and your reply. Please do check out Rinpoche`s blog www.tsemrinpoche.com for more inspiring spiritual dharma teaching articles. :) __ / \ __
I've learnt a lot from this video. Thank you Rinpoche for explaining in brief and yet so detail about how we can live our life to it's fullest potential before the end of this life.
This is great Tsem Tulka Rinpoche...Your talks are indeed informative and to the point. May you have long life to transmit the teachings...Thank you for instruction and transmission.
+barry hignett ~ Dear Barry Hignett, thank you for watching this video of H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche. Please do visit His Eminence's personal blog for more inspiration: www.tsemrinpoche.com
Amazing talk. I loved the way rinpoche happily interacts with the students yet every line he speaks has so much meaning. It's clear that he really wants to benefit all those present and even those in the future - as this is available online. I hope to be able to meet him someday Having him as a teacher must be a result of a lot of merit :) so will keep trying!
I am glad this video helped you...it is thanks to the lucid and clear explanation that my own misconceptions on the "perfect Buddhist" disappeared as well
+JEDI F4i : Hi JEDI! Glad this teaching benefited you as it does for me. By the way, have you visited Rinpoche's blog before? You can check it out here for more teachings : www.tsemrinpoche.com
Death is so near to us, but sad that so many of us does not realize it, when we get so attach to our comfort in life, death will definitely be the greatest fear... when travel also we need to prepare, what more to say about death..
julisaba very glad that you’ve found a way to cope with it.. visit this channel more. Rinpoche has many more valuable teachings here or you can visit www.tsemrinpoche.com .
Is there any way that this teaching can be made available through audio? I do not have much time to sit in front of the computer and watch it, but I really would like to listen to all of it. If it is at all possible, please let me know, I would be very grateful. Long Life to His Eminence!
How does Tsem Rinpoche know of that family's daughter's rebirth? He implied he knew about the process the daughter went through and in what realm she was reborn into. Does he know? I'm not doubting I genuinely and curious as to what was implied here
ZionRebirth .Tello A lama's secret. Having seen Tsem Rinpoche in action for the past 20 years, there are many things about Rinpoche that is not ordinary. I definitely remember Rinpoche reading my mind during one talk many moons ago... My thoughts probably stood out like a sore thumb too :)
Death is only the physical state of being and not the mental state. For the mind or the consciousness moves on to seek another physical body to be born into due to karmic action that one has accumulated over time in a life time.
i was afraid as my baby son ran up the stairs at Lam-Rim he was so small the stairs so big but the baby did it determined i couldn't stop him . i held my breath incase he fell over . At the top and down the hallway The monk readying for a trip out . He just ran up to him . And they spent time talking for ages . i didn't understand at the time . i guess it was a lesson for me . 27 Min into this footage he explains what i learnt that day .
Respected sir (who is talking in the video ) can I meet you.... (I am from India..A Hindu Brahmin middle aged spiritual lady) want your guidance.....Thank you.
@rainbowlght Nobody knows where we're heading when we die. To presume that we know is misconception. We do virtuous deeds and practice good karma for good karma's sake: to avoid suffering, and for the upliftment of all sentient beings. Peace :)
What happen if someone suddenly ‘awaken ‘ and starts practicing compassion, kindness and meditation and so for...but then suddenly he or she is at the death door...isn’t it too late for this person.- not prepare for the inevitable. What happen to this person after death then?
I do not remember hearing Rinpoche mentioned witches in his teaching shared in this video. Personally, I do not think all witches are bad. Like us human, we cannot generalise ourselves as all good as there is a % of us who do bad actions. There is an article on witches that Tsem Rinpoche shared on his blogpost in 2011. Here is the link www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/science-mysteries/witches.html. Hope you will find it useful and interesting.
Interesting subject, we all going to die one day. In school the books never teaches us what is dead all about, instead learn from all the great master making more money enjoying more luxury. What is death really means to us when that moment comes?
Dear Sir , Perhaps 2500 years ago there was a great man said to be named as Mr Siddharta perhaps had a realization on the nature of human suffering and he tried to explain and share it to mankind . ... and SAID TO BE there was a quotation in formal Buddhism Text itself that before Mr Siddharta passed away , he was quoted saying that " Let My Teaching Be Your Teacher "...together with another quotation SAID TO BE quote " Believe Nothing No Matter What You Hear Or Read , Even If I Have Said It , Unless It Agrees With Your Own Reason and Common Sense " ...... With these message , is common sense his realization is just like an gossip , a rumors and just a mere information not even to be accepted as a guide for own exploration ....he was never recorded saying " Let Your Teacher Teach My Teaching ".........so why so many Buddhist monk claimed as Buddhist Teacher teaching Buddhism based on what they know? But soon after Mr Siddharta’s death and until today , there are millions of people with an ordinary mind , feeding on his information transforming into a knowledge , rituals , practices , creating into various culture / traditions and even benefited from it........calling themselves to be a Buddhist Teacher / Master with various title and recognition , even claiming to reach a high level of realization .....TEACHING Buddhism itself instead of being just a reporter......... . Mr Siddharta ‘s explanation perhaps is like a paintings on the wall and lets people explore it within themselves without any people trying to be smart and explaining something with their ordinary minds . Buddhist Teachers had transformed perhaps the greatest discovery of mankind into a factor causing human to continue suffering of confusion for thousands of years and perhaps even thousands more to come .....and now their afford is supported by another group of in formal studies known as Buddhist Scholar. If Buddhist Organization hold on text that said to be Mr Siddharta words as referral , then NO ONE HAVE THE RIGHT TO TEACH BUDDHISM ..... Mr Siddharta's explanation should be served as just a mere information for own exploration of own existence and now millions of people are taking advantage by teaching it ... they became the teacher instead of the "teaching" of Mr Siddharta . Buddhism perhaps NEVER was a form of Knowledge.…..So HOW COULD ANYONE TEACH IF BUDDHISM IS NOT A FORM OF KNOWLEDGE ?..... I am deeply concern of the way Buddhism is transforming . This has to be stopped . I have now moved from sharing my personal views into a more challenging role as to start a movement to spread awareness of Buddhism. This movement is named " AWAKENING TO BUDDHISM" with only one simple objective is to spread awareness to people that Buddhism is all about own exploration to the nature of own existence WITHOUT any interference from anyone with NO REFERRAL . Any information even from Mr Siddharta should be accepted as a mere information NOT even as a guide for own exploration WITHOUT any teaching , guidance or explanation from anyone . No teaching , no rituals , no worshipping , no referral , no guidance . Everyone is equal , Everyone is learning and no one is giving talks or teaching or guiding . For further explanation kindly email the undersigned . One Historian said “ If Buddha come back , He will see all he rejected now his follower put him in that place “. Please DO NOT be part of perhaps greatest misinterpretation of mankind . We must creates awareness and let people have the chance to explore themselves . What is teach to them is always a knowledge , what is explored perhaps will lead to realization and perhaps that is Mr Siddharta’s wish . If you are in same mind , PLEASE SHARE THIS as facebook had disabled our account many times and we believe this will happens again.USE EMAIL to contact us . Anyone could start this movement within their capacity holding on a common objective with a common movement brand name .No one is leading this movement . We attribute this noble movement to Mr Siddharta . If you are of same mind , kindly furnish us any update . We are serious and sincere in this movement . Thanks Ee Chuan Seng Malaysia.

Hi Roger, at first, I should clarify that anyone can be a Buddhist no matter what their careers are. Anyone has devoted to his/her Guru or students learning dharma in Buddhist institution do give help there, why did you say so? They help the Buddhist centre by their kindness without any agenda.

this guy sounds american....he talks fast and with a hurry that is not tipical of a peacefull monk....my heart say that he is fake....thats my 2 cents ;)
Tsem Rinpoche sound american is because Rinpoche move to America at age 7 and grew up in the States. In 1987, Rinpoche received monastic vows from the Dalai Lama, and for the next nine years (1988-1997) Rinpoche studied at Ganden Shartse under Kensur Jampa Yeshe Rinpoche and Lati Rinpoche. you can find out more in Rinpoche's blog and hope it will help you: www.tsemrinpoche.com.

Thank you Rinpoche.
First time I come across his talk. Very enlightening. He certainly makes Buddhism simple for Dummies like me. Thank you so much.
I totally agree with you. It is made easy for another dummy like me. I only recently like about a week ago that I found this Tsem Rinpoche's channel.
Incredible. Buddha's teachings encompasses everything from beginning, middle to end. From beginning of 'life' to beginning of the death process. Also why we are dying, how to die peacefully, why the methods He teaches can help us to die peacefully...
Rinpoche is incredible for teaching us all of this, in English and in language we can understand.
I just started watching most venerable videos and He is so enlightening!
HE is a wonderful Teacher ,Thank You Rinpoche, I am inspired by Your teaching and Your Compassion. We Love You.....

thank you for the posting of this video, I had been visualizing harmful thoughts I now know how harmful this is, I can choose another way,
julisaba very glad that you’ve found a way to cope with it.. visit this channel more. Rinpoche has many more valuable teachings here or you can visit www.tsemrinpoche.com .
to their web site i think. or maybe you could go to malaysia and help them with work too. that is very sweet.
we are all destined for death, it makes sense to recognize and accept this, and indeed prepare for it.
Best talk
May is a lovely soul.

There is no death; that's a different way of looking at it. ACIM does, and that is magnificent, too!
How does Tsem Rinpoche know of that family's daughter's rebirth? He implied he knew about the process the daughter went through and in what realm she was reborn into. Does he know? I'm not doubting I genuinely and curious as to what was implied here

Please what does it mean « dissolve my winds » thank you
The rest of his sentence (he repeated it) is:
"you can make the lineage finished".
Most of us shun the taboo word, DEATH. But death is inevitable, timing is not. So scary.
Death is only the physical state of being and not the mental state. For the mind or the consciousness moves on to seek another physical body to be born into due to karmic action that one has accumulated over time in a life time.

Wai Meng Wan . Lam Rim . Buddhist centre Wales

you know they call me Paul ? .. lol .. its happening again .. lol
les paul Ok, what about calling you Paul? :)
you could download it and convert it to mp3. i can't tell you how though, even though i know all the tricks.
if you die really fast then does all of that happen really fast? or does it skip parts? do some people think they still have a body?

Hi Roger, at first, I should clarify that anyone can be a Buddhist no matter what their careers are. Anyone has devoted to his/her Guru or students learning dharma in Buddhist institution do give help there, why did you say so?
They help the Buddhist centre by their kindness without any agenda.
You can be a buddhist, even if you do not work at a Buddhist organisation :).

is there a god ,a creator ,,and is our death destined?
According to buddhism, no
According to Hinduism, Yes

it's s a test
Hi Eric, A test to what ends?
what's this equating of 'I' with 'eye' ... that's little more than affectation ... and lessens your credibility ....
How does someone know SO much about death and he's not Dead? Sorry, but I can't!
he can't even convince my 3 year old niece, he doesn't even know what he's saying
Buddhist DO NOT LIE
Hi Roger, yes Buddhists do not and should not lie. Would you mind to tell what is your point to say so?
Yes those who hold their refuge vows, should not LIE. :)
