even if one can not go to attend the teaching for guru's advise on concern of empowerment matter.

one can go to the event to make donation money to H.H Dalai Lama and leave without empowerment, this is to support His Holiness in his dharma activities.  I hope this is not wrong that against advise from one's guru on the empowerment matter. right?

Is that your buddhist refuge name or someone's ? I don't know what it mean. just hope someone here know Tibetan language, those who reply, in the future, i know who to ask for Tibetan word. :-)

can help explains why so many tara, 21 tara? i guess for help in different kind of situations or problem people are facing, what are they? can explain? thank you.

alien, are your referring to rinpoche talk's is cheap or buble or both of them, does it include you own talk here too?

off topic on this,

amazing....

spiritnoname, if tulku's purpose of reincarnation back is not to be a teacher/practitioners again in your first line of statement. Why do they come back? I am sure not for movie  or pop-corn or other samsara's enjoyment.

lama tsong khapa's definately qualify to reincarnate back, why does he chosen not to?

Maybe he is planing to abolish the  tulku / reincarnation linage system in Tibetan Buddhism? and that is why he set up the Gaden Tripa for Gelug tradition.

At first I accept that he simply is already a buddha and goes to Tushita. But, I don't think so now, because the tulku system does have something that Lama Tsong Khapa have in mind, but didn't says ( or he  said, we didn't have the chance to read what his view on this.)

pasquale2k , i only see Dzambala and Medicine Buddha pendants in Kechara.com/eshop

where can we get the Umbrella pendant you mention from online?

pasquale2k , which buddha tsa tsa should we brings along? tsong khapa, setrap, vajrayogini? or all of them? do you also bring along any light offering (candle), incenses, beside the 7/8 water bowls offering? thanks.

sometime, we can read other's mind, from his body languages, eye movement. well, not 100% correct, but there is a way for us too.

Ayla, we all learning together. I also happy for you.

For people who can read Chinese, there is a collection of teaching on this topic by different teacher, including H.H Pabongka  Rinpoche.

List of teachings. (look for the section 003-xx)

http://www.baus-ebs.org/sutra/jan-read/009/index.html

There are many great resource of teachings that focus on Je Tsong Khapa's teachings in this site.

I guess, when rinpoche says, that when we bow to Buddha statues not a wall, we collect merits and purify karma.  which he stressed that cleaning of Buddha statues as compare to a wall. Maybe cleaning a Buddha statue also have the same effect like bow down to Buddha statues?

when all sentient beings have happiness and the causes of happiness.
