1) Another beautiful post by Tsem Rinpoche:http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/2010/06/starting-on-vajra-yogini-now.html#tp2) Another post but what is interesting is that Tsem Rinpoche talks about himself. Quite nice. Must Read!!http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/2010/06/unsolved-mysteries-ufo.html#tpBelow extracted from Tsem Rinpoche's blog. Fantastic to get to 'know' Rinpoche more as he really writes from his heart and directly to us the reader. Very warm and very close feeling. Unusual but nice:Since I was very young, I was naturally drawn to phenomena that was not accepted by 'mainstream' public. That didn't bother me. I was always the type of person that I did WHAT I FELT WAS RIGHT and not so much WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO. Many of the things I was supposed to do didn't make sense to me then and now. I am more patient with things I don't agree with now then I was then though I must say. Must learn to tolerate early in life, less problems.
I have always studied up on Loch Ness, Findhorn, Ufo, Sasquatch, Nazca Lines, Incas, American Native Indian lore, Tibet, ghosts, astral travelling and the likes. I used to practise astral travelling nightly that I read up in a book. I also did meditations on Vajra Yogini I found in a book also when I was around 13 or so. No results for either one though as I am sure I was doing something wrong that the book didn't fully explain. Anyway, I found out later I shouldn't have done the Vajra Yogini meditations without permission.
I watched endless documentaries on these mysterious subjects and did quite a lot of reading. One of my favorite places was the library. I can spend a day there and not be bored. I would borrow 10-12 books every two weeks and read through most of them. I did that for years. Or at least have a good look at the parts I was interested in before returning the book. I would borrow biographies, encyclopedias, Ghost stories, Magic, mysteries, Travel, Religions (my favorite), and reading up on cultures. I would go to libraries in other towns and borrow books because libraries had limits how many you can borrow at any one time. I didn't like the limits. haha. I would even go to Flea Markets and second hand stores to buy books on various mysteries. I loved encyclopedias with color pictures. I would borrow from A-Z slowly. I would spend evenings and weekends reading after homework. I would listen to the Beatles, John Lennon, Simon & Garfunkel and read.. sometimes paint or draw. I loved to draw mountains, lakes and huge trees. I was fanatical about drawing various Buddhas. I loved to draw yogis meditating in the mountains and gaining great realization or seeing the Yidam directly. I read voraciously and absorbed the information fast. I was happy I could retain it.
My step-parents didn't make things easy for me. But they left me alone to read. They wanted me to play soccer and sports. I hated sports. Any type of sports. They forced me to play soccer for like 6-7 years in a row in a huge soccer club with uniforms and all. Lots of kids. We'd have matches with other counties and towns. I NEVER SCORED ONE GOAL EVER. My step dad commented once all the boys run towards the ball, whereas I run away from it. I was thinking, I told you I hated soccor hundreds of times?? My coach stuck me as the goalie JUST ONCE. I let like 3 balls pass me in around half an hour!! Everyone gave me the evils, but I already warned my coach not to do so. His logic is I'm tall so I would be good. My logic is I don't want my teeth knocked out for this silly game! Hehe. He never put me back in as goalie again. The day my father didn't sign me up for soccer was one of the happiest days of my childhood. He wanted me to be Pele or something and I wanted to be Dalai Lama that time!! Talk about conflict of interest! I still want to be like the Dalai Lama!
Anyways, I found these really cool videos of UFO footage and I thought you might be interested. Listen carefully to what they are saying and observe. It is one of the most convincing footages caught on film I have ever seen. These didn't convince me that extraterrestrials existed because I know they do exist. Buddha mentioned clearly WE ARE NOT ALONE!!!
Enjoy and share with others. It is nice to rise above relationships, money, bills, eating, travelling and all the very normal, redundant traps we set for ourselves and think deeper. Look beyond. Think more. Keep your mind wondering, discovering and learning. Don't be stuck where you are.
This video is perfect for alot of my students. It did cross my mind when some spaceships would come back and take back some of my students as I know they are NOT FROM HERE...hehehe.
Much Care,
Tsem Tulku
P.S. I have very varied interests. It isn't just meditation, mantras, shambala, malas, auras, and enlightenment all the time. I have many interests and they are very wide. So I am going to blog about them and share. Each time you read my posts, a part of me is shared with you. That is nice. I am the only Tibetan Lama that blogs about UFO's, but you know what, I never said I would fit the mould. I am different, 'controversial' by some, strange, not the typical lama if you will, unconventional, and just being myself. Some find me refreshing and some may not. But it's ok. I am coming to terms with myself now too and you should too. Hehe. I am not trying to be 'different'. I just am I guess. But it is a harmless different. Maybe I am just waiting ....E.T. go home for me too???
3) Tsem Rinpoche really loves and cares for animals:
