- Dear friends and those who want to go serious,
You know I was watching a video on Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Tour and also a Abba video on youtube...and I got the idea that I want to talk on why we do preliminary practices. How preliminary practices lead to tantra. How it is connected. How Lam Rim, Three Principal Paths, four preliminary retreats support Tantra and lead to tantric attainments.
It is so important to know these preliminary practices lead to tantric attainments and how so. Without these practices being grounded in your mindstream, there is a high chance you will give up your tantric practices. Many run for higher practices and neglect the preparatory practices and that is the main ingredient to success in higher practices. So in this video I share with you how to avoid the pitfalls. Please listen carefully and let me know what you have learned in the comments below.
Just as important, I want to say if you cannot engage in the four preliminary practices based on good and honest reasons, then dharma work is even more important in your centre or place of convenience. With dharma work you can purify lots of demerits and gain merits which is essential for higher practices leading to quicker attainments..Attainments that grant you liberty from your emotional quicksands. Do your dharma work as a spiritual practice and not work.
Much Care, Tsem Rinpoche
P.S. Please watch this video twice to fully comprehend and share with others who wish to do advanced practices...
We did this filming around 3:30 Am February 9th, 2012 and finished it with rendering around 5:30 Am and starting uploading so here you are....
(Please take note, the Vajra Yogini book I mentioned in the video is to be read and studied by those who have Vajra Yogini's initiation. If you do not, you are restricted from reading and or studying. But you may keep the book on your altar as part of the objects of offering to create powerful karmic affinity with the practice. That is permissable. Many Tibetans can go and purchase the commentary in Tibetan from the Monastery anytime. They don't read it necessarily, but leave it on the shrine as a holy object to worship. Represents the speech of all Buddhas. Since most lay Tibetans can obtain the texts, why not non-Tibetans. I recommend everyone to have a book for the future, in case it goes out of print. Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche {author} received direct communications with Vajra Yogini during his lifetime. He received direct advice on Her practice from Vajra Yogini Herself. Also his commentary comes from his direct realizations as a result of intense practice on this path. So his commentary is a combination of direct advice from Lady Vajra Yogini Herself and his personal meditative attainments-SUPER POWERFUL. It is by far no ordinary commentary. It is a must have commentary for serious practitioners and would be practitioners. We are fortunate this book is translated and available.
Furthermore, Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche highly recommended this Yidam Vajra Yogini to be very effective for beings of the current degenerate age. Her practice due to our karmic situation will suit our temperaments and modern manifestations of the three old foes of ignorance, hatred and desire. He mentioned it would be highly appropriate to keep Vajra Yogini as our principal practice to gain enlightenment. Her practice would be more than enough and extremely appropriate for a time and place pervaded by mostly manifestations of desire during this time. Vajra Yogini is the Queen Buddha for overcoming desire as well as ignorance and hatred. We need to shop no further when we wisely adopt Vajra Yogini as our principal practice especially during the Kali Yuga degenerate age. I wish all of you well, deep practice and to be cared for by this highly unusual yet provocative Vajra Yogini tantric system. May you become Vajra Yogini. Tsem Rinpoche)

At first when I watched a video of yours I thought it strange that you have a comedic attitude in your teaching. But then I realized that you seem to be realized because you do offer a lot of insight, and it your channel is the only one that I have found which truly goes into the meanings and contemplations of tibetan practice
ZionRebirth .Tello Rinpoche also uses jokes during long teachings to keep us alert and awake :)
Its really an interesting video! I learned it from a DVD called Dharma Starts at home. It was very informative as it also thought me(a beginner then) how to set up altar, prostrating, mantras, water offerings and many more. Now I am happy to be able to share my knowledge with other people whenever they want to do the same. Everything is so convenient now with the internet.
Thanks for the profound teaching about prostration, I used to engage in group retreat in prostration 100K, its kind of tough initially, continuously done for a month, there was a sense of lightness and able to focus more. Thanks for the teaching!
Very profound Prostration teaching from Rinpoche. We should commit ourself to do it daily, as it's a good practise to build up our stamina. Rinpoche did mentioned prostration is also a good exercise for us, as we can gain a beautiful body, of course, when we do prostration, our motivation should not be tht reason, we should set our motivation as to purify all the negativity we have accumulated, surrender myself to buddha and practise dharma........
Because of Rinpoche's teaching, we are able to learn how to engage in such practices like prostration. This practice is done by thousands and thousands in the monasteries, and all over the world by lay people. It is a practice that is mentioned in the teachings to be extremely beneficial to purify karma of the body. If not because of Rinpoche's kindness to teach, we would never have known of this method to purify the countless lifetimes of negativities we have created.
A beautiful way to purify body, speech, and mind.
wonderful video, very useful!
Thank you....This is very helpfull
Prostration is a great way to purify our negative karma of the body. However, this is best done by the young and able-bodied. For those who are unable to perform prostrations, there are mantra retreats that one can do.
Tsem Tulku Rinpoche you rock! Nyima
Very useful thank you!
Thank you very much for this very clear and entertaining demonstration. I have just begun doing prostrations but since I have arthritis in both my knees, I am unable to place both my knees on the ground. I hope it is alright to do full body prostrations without touching the knees to the ground. Thank you.
Teachings so special
When we recite a praise or mantra while doing , it is verbal prostration.When we generate thoughts of renunciation or bodhicitta or any virtue we are performing mental prostration.
"shoujian - .I heard that when Lama Tsongkhapa went to do his prostration, after the floor that he prostrated has his foot print im-printed. is it true?" Yes, it is true. Rinpoche has explained this before. It is a true story. At that time, Lama Tsongkhapa was in his prostration retreat and he did 3.5 millions prostrations. Very amazing!
I heard that when Lama Tsongkhapa went to do his prostration, after the floor that he prostrated has his foot print im-printed. is it true? but i guess it can be, after 3.5 million.
Isnt it amaizing how can a layman like even do like 10% of what Lama Tsongkhapa did. especially the 3.5 million prostration that Lama Tsongkhapa done did not affect his time for giving teachings and and pujas and stuff.
Thank you Tsem Rinpoche for giving us the propper instruction on doing prostration
can u share the chant for short prostration?! thank YOU 🌈🙏🏾
I would recommend this short video to anyone who wishes to understand why we do prostration, and how to actually do it. It is informative and concise. Rinpoche also explains why when we do offering, we put our thumbs inside our palm. Nice!
As usual, Rinpoche always throw in the jokes to keep us awake and alert.
Ven Rinpoche you really talk too fast at times (especially about the mantras) but thank you anyhow for showing this in full. Blessings!
Rinpoche is the student of H.H The kyabje Zong rinpoche
In the temple I used to go to they made 3 prostrations before the puja and 3 again after the puja, but I heard from someone, only the first three are necessary and you need not prostrate afterwards, is that correct?
Such a Wonderful Rimpoche
+Duptho C Wangmo Hello... It's good that you have found this video. Are you a practicing Buddhist?
sorry for late reply.......yes i am buddist
I see... do visit Rinpoche UA-cam often. Sometimes when you listen back, a whole new perspective will arise.
Thank you so much la
Sabbe Satte Sukhi Hontu 💙💛❤️
Actually prostration involve purification of not only body but speech and mind as well if we do it properly.
Thankyou so much
+Anita Krelle Do check out Tsem Rinpoche the 25th blog - www.tsemrinpoche.com ~ Admin
Thankyou! I'm a regular :) I love Tsem Rinpoche and his Team, they are wonderful xxxooo
can we find postrations retreat in USA?
I'm physically able to do it. But have yet to start on my 100,000 prostrations retreat. My tricky mind thinks up all kinds of excuses. Would love to hear from people who have completed their 100,000 prostration retreat. How does it feel like ? Did anything change ?
It would be fantastic if you translated in italian... thank you very much
Thanks for the Explanation it was fantastic. Please talk slower in your other videos some times you are hard to understand.
@Anita Krelle Hope you can check out Tsem Rinpoche the 25th's blog www.tsemrinpoche.com
You are so cute, Ven.!
هناك الكثير لنتعلمه من بوذا
This is the Tibetan Vajrayana prostration. It is very different from Mahayana and Theravada way of doing prostration.
Hello A Tan, thanks for watching. Are you a buddhist too?
Yes I'm a Mahayana Buddhist since birth
Thank you very much for letting me know. Please do visit Tsem Rinpoche`s blog www.tsemrinpoche.com for more inspiring teachings. __ / \ __
I know what you're saying, but you have Tibetans doing hundreds upon hundreds of prostrations in the course of a few hours STILL a few decades short of being a century old. It's amazing. I myself can barely surpass two hundred prostrations a day and I'm only 23. Pretty embarrassing to say the least.
i was at one time! lol
(before i knew about buddhism)
OMG. Rinpoche imitating a spider.

سبحان الله سرقة فكرية من محمد ، البوذوية أقدم ديانة في العالم بعد الهندوسية ، وهده الصلاة عمرها أكثر من 5 الاف سنة.
i dont understand arabic and i used google translate. are you saying muhammad stole this practice from buddhism? how can he possible stole it since buddhism is not very prevalant in 7th century arabia
What an ignorant comment! Divine revelations are ubiquitous.
