Time flies – It’s already 2013

12 Feb

2012 came by just like that and I have been totally neglecting my little blog here. I am not sure if I still have an audience out there in cyberspace. Perhaps just a few clicks from Facebook and that’s it. Last year saw the publications of 2 books, Tales My Lama Told Me, which I…

@Ron – I am not sure the tilting of the head is in reference to whom but I am guessing it must have been Serkong Dorje Chang. The tilting of the head in his case is because he had become one with Vajrayogini (Vy) and one outward sign is his tilt of the head and during his cremation, his remains was said to stand up in the posture of Vy as his remains was cremated if I am not mistaken.

Although I only knew him through online postings and Youtube videos, I am so sadden by the loss of H.E. Tsem Rinpoche.
He was such a light in my life. I loved his teachings. I have read your book “Tales My Lama Told Me,” and watched some of your videos online, and know that you are a pastor with Kechara. I have a question. In one of Rinpoche’s talks, he mentioned that the tilting of the head to the side had a significance.
I have forgotten when or where Rinpoche taught it and I was hoping you would have an answer. Thanks for any help you can give me, Ron Kesecker

Thank you for writing of the kindness shared by Rinpoche. This is something I am profoundly happy to read of, as you also describes a common bond between us. As for myself, being so fortunate as to have received from Rinpoche, a precious statue of Gyenze Shugden not so long ago, I rejoice in the greatness of your good fortune, such has been mine, and for the auspiciousness of such a gift. It was my first true Buddha Statue as well in the gift of Gyenze, and knowing we received these representations of Buddha’s body, speech and mind from an authentic source of the teachings, it is a delightful thing to share indeed. Knowing Rinpoche has gifted others in the same way is a bond we all share, which will be cherished and never diminished in my minds continuum. Thank you for posting Pastor David. Well wishes of long life and continued successes to you.
