…to show you’re grateful for the love, support and help you got so many times. You can repay it by being honest, harmonious, hardworking and loyal…those are free and easy IF YOU’RE SINCERE. If you can’t even show that, do not expect happiness and care, and [expect] to be left behind. – Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

How much you have transformed is how much guru devotion you have. If you haven’t transformed much, it doesn’t mean you haven’t worked hard. It just means you don’t have very strong guru devotion. – Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

“I’d like to request for ordination…” at 5:11… This was the last video we ever expected to see, the moment when Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, my guru, requested from ordination from His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Truly deserving of an ‘Oh my Buddha’, whether gasped under a hushed breath or exclaimed. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/)
