He is in very ill health at the moment it seems so sudden.
Tsem Tulku Rinpoche is very ill:

His condition is extremely serious and possibly fatal.
This guru is a serious and profound master who would be greatly missed.
Please perform whatever practices you can for his improved health.
Thank you. _/\_

He benefits many people it would be a shame to see him pass away so soon.

Thank you, Zach, for informing us that Tsem Tulku Rinpoche is very ill. I have just gone to his blog and read the article on his current critical state of health.
Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, has, through his blog and his innumerable articles on diverse topics (but all with a Dharma message of care and compassion )inspired countless viewers like me. Reading his articles, which are to me Dharma teachings, has made me more focused on my Dharma practice and given my life more purpose and direction.
Yes, we must all do whatever prayers and practices we can so that this great and highly compassionate Master recovers, gains back his health, and lives on to continue to turn the wheel of Dharma and benefit countless beings, as he has been doing so untiringly (as can be seen by us who read his blog ) all this while.

Oh dear... so sad to learn of this news. What's up with the world today... the Lamas are getting ill - like Lama Zopa and now Tsem Rinpoche. We are really living in degenerate times. Quite frightening. Aside from prayers, let's create the causes for the great Masters to stay as long as possible with us by practising as much Dharma as possible - being kind to each other, supporting our Dharma centres and being harmonious with our Dharma brothers and sisters etc.

I have only know this Lama through Rinpoche's youtube channel
www.youtube.com/tsemtulku (http://www.youtube.com/tsemtulku)
To me he is a real deal Lama, and @Zach... i to agree, it will be a shame to lose another High Lama so soon.
Much prayers
-
Wish I could be there in person to attend his talks. He appeals to both East and Westerners in fact he's got the best of both worlds, growing up in the US and having been to India, Taiwan.
Not many lamas that I know of who can share the dharma through English as the main medium so eloquently.
OM MANI PADME HUM, may he turn he wheel of dharma for migrators for countless aeons to come.
-
Thanks Zach for this info. Will definitely make prayers.
Any teacher/lama/master passing will always great loss. Yes I have seen his blog... he is a very capable Lama that can appeal to both the east and west the modern audience today. A lama that can speak so fluently and in English is very rare. We must send our prayer for Tsem Tulku Rinpoche to stay and continue his great works.

His Holiness Kyabje Trijang Choktrul Rinpoche has composed a long life prayer to invoke blessings to increase Tsem Rinpoche's life. From this we can see Tsem Rinpoche's works and activities please His Holiness Trijang Rinpoche. What a beautiful prayer. The prayers are meant to be recited daily by Tsem Rinpoche's students and well wishers. Surely the prayer has great blessings as it's composed by Trijang Rinpoche.
Also another prayer is composed by the great ex abbot of Gaden Shartse Monastery from where Tsem Rinpoche hails from. The abbot emeritus Kensur Rinpoche holds Tsem Rinpoche in high esteem also judging from the prayer itself.
You can see both prayers here: http://blog.tsemtulku.com/?p=25885 (http://blog.tsemtulku.com/?p=25885)
I hope Tsem Rinpoche chooses to remain long. He has the blessings of great lamas and the faith of his many students. Beautiful.

Hey Namdrol and iloveds, thanks for sharing the wonderful links about H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. This is the first time that I have come across Tsem Rinpoche.
H.E. is one of the more "interesting" teacher that combines ancient Buddhist teachings and modern day living needs together. I think that if it still requires me to meditate under a tree just like Lord Shakyamuni did 2500 years ago, I would have become a "free thinker" long time ago.
After watching the youtube clips regarding H.E. first Buddhist Pastorship Ceremony in Malaysia, I don't think that I am the only person who wants to do more. However, we still have a lot of personal duties and obligations to fulfill. Monkhood is a term that I will never think of, there's nothing wrong but it's just not for a married man like me.
I really like the idea of a Buddhist pastorship, I hope that one day I will be able to meet up with one of the great Gelug masters like H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche.
Here are the links that talk about the reasons why H.E. came out with idea of a pastorship. The speeches from the four pastors really encourage a lay person like me to take a few steps forward to help others.
Thanks

Namdrol from his blog it seems His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche previous incarnation was very connected to Zong Rinpoche and a student of Trijang Rinpoche. I think Trijang Rinpoche thinks that Tsem Rinpoche is doing a lot for dharma all over and wants Tsem Rinpoche to carry on his good works.
Certainly Tsem Rinpoche is one of the few Gelug lamas who has such an immaculate command of English and has the charisma too plus a strong electronic presence FB, twitter, blog to name a few, I looked at their departments some I never thought such departments can exist within Buddhist organisations. He is truly very innovative and forward thinking.
-
I agree with you DharmaSpace. It is the first time ever in the world we see Tibetan Buddhism is so innovatively presented to draw audience. Tsem Rinpoche never fail to captivate and amaze as a great master in our time. He has so much potential to bring benefits to the whole world and the whole world is waiting for his healing hand. He is one of the most precious and rare masters around during this time. We must not let the chance pass. Let's be hopeful and pray he remains with us in this world for a long time to continue his holy activities.
-
H.E. Tsem Rinpoche is always so creative in the different methods of bringing dharma to people of different inclinations. I heard H.E. started many departments within his organisation to cater for people from all walks of life.
How fortunate are those who meet him and receive teachings directly from H.E.
May I too have this good fortune to meet a qualified teacher like H.E.
-
Yes I am in agreement with you Kurava. May I too have this good fortunate to meet with Tsem Rinpoche.
-
Tsem Rinpoche is also very much into Dharma-in action; engaging in activities like a soup kitchen and animal santuary, two activities very important in today's world. Christians are very much experienced in these activities and it is great to see a well established Lama also take on these challenges. I pray more Lamas follow his example and start similar projects.
May he live for infinite eons to lead all migrators to fields of bliss.
-
It is really sad to see so many high lamas are undergoing sickness. Must be the neagtive karma of the students to have to manifest this way to clear obstacles in spreading dharma. Tsem Rinpoche is defnitely one of the most profound dharma teachers in today's age. His dharma center is so diverse with dharma activities, and I personally enjoyed his talk very much. He cracked me up all the time and yet we are learning dharma through it.
Recently, he has a paranormal blog where he shares his paranormic experiences. Very interesting to read it from a lama point of view. do check it out!
http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/category/paranormal (http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/category/paranormal)
Let's pray for His Eminence great health and dharma career ahead! what a great teacher!
-
It's very sad that great lamas like Tsem Rinpoche is so ill and still continues to update the world. Rinpoche is so committed in his dharma projects. It's very inspiring.
I'm not surprised that high lamas like HH Trijang Rinpoche and Kensur Rinpoche of Gaden Shartse both wrote a long life prayer for Tsem Rinpoche. It's incredible what's written in the prayer.
Namdrol, thank you for posting this.

I hope Tsem Rinpoche chooses to remain long. He has the blessings of great lamas and the faith of his many students. Beautiful.

My mind is completely blown by the prayer because it was as if Trijang Rinpoche knows what is going on. There are many nasty rumors against Tsem Rinpoche in Malaysia and his organization, but the more famous ones are that his students tend to be very firebrand with their approach and they tend to misinterpret his teachings and scare people away. I have heard this complaint a few times from people.
And in the prayers,
We disicples, possessed by the demon of ignorance,
Have been disrespectful and always seeing ordinary appearances,
we lose faith, misunderstand and do not accomplish your instructions,
from our hearts we truly beg for forgiveness! May we delight you!
seem to be befitting of the rumors that persist around their members…it was as if Trijang Choktrul Rinpoche knew exactly what was going on in his center. When I read that I had chills.
Although Tsem Rinpoche is not a DS lama, nevertheless he is a very highly acclaimed Lama who has spread the teachings far and wide and is compassionate enough to put up with all the cultural differences and teachings of where he is currently based where the run of the mill Buddhist believes in a lot of distortions and misconceptions of the teachings that are only convenient for them.
This is in addition to all the stereotyping of Buddhists and the teachings that they can accept are "stereotypes" rather than actual teachings, its more or less the common belief of what they want to believe and not actual Dharma. Therefore Tsem Rinpoche's courage and compassion to teach in Malaysia is incredible indeed and I think we should respect him still even if he is not a DS practitioner.

Hope this is not to late to comment.
I've read His blog and actually, He is GOOD! The was He teaches is really funny and interesting. I pray that His health is improving so that He can help many more beings in Malaysia. From His blog posts, He seems to be having a lot of planning for the future so it will be very big I presume. Also read His bio in the blog and how His Guru Devotion is so strong that He went to Malaysia because of His Gurus. May His centre and people continue to grow to benefit many more. Btw, his blog chat is quite interesting. People can actually chat live!
-
Thank you Zach for highlighting this. I have never heard of this master but after reading your post, i google him. It is such a shame that he is in a foreign country and I am unable to meet him and receive teachings from him. It would have been so awesome. His youtube videos are funny. What a cool master. And Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche even composed a long life prayer for this master. He must be a very high Lama. Long live Master Tsem Rinpoche. May I have the merits to meet you one day!
-
Thanks Zach for introducing Tsem Tulku Rinpoche here. I checked out the site and it is quite something! The whole design and concept is very contemporary and up-to-date, including the topics covered. I don't remember coming across any other Buddhist website that looks like that or has similar features. It is really interesting. As a first timer to the site, I feel like I'm on a treasure hunt when exploring the website, and the gems are everywhere!
I also saw a few short videos of him giving dharma talks, he is so funny! I wish I could attend his teachings in person one day. After reading the post "Avalokiteshvara, Turkey Swamp and Me" I am convinced that he is a highly attained being. I am glad that his health is better now. May he live long and continue to teach in his unique ways!
-
Thank you very much Zach for highlighting Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. His Emminence is indeed a great and compassionate Lama. I really loves His modern alternative way of teaching that appeals to the younger generations and also the older generations.
Rinpoche's way of teaching is really 'alive' and it relates to our daily life. I've came across the teachings of a few Lama and i find Tsem Tulku Rinpoche's way of teaching most appealing.
Rinpoche's students are really blessed to have such a skilful Guru.
-
Thank you Zach for this post on Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. I hope His Eminence will recover soon. I listened to some of his teachings on youtube and found out that he is such a great Teacher. His teachings are so modern, easy to understand , logical and practical and sometimes funny. Even his center in Malaysia is so modern and nice and the website and his blog has so many articles and up to date. It is not a surprise why Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche and Kensur Rinpoche of Gaden Shartse each composed a long life prayer for him. We must treasure such great Lama. Wow, may I have the merits to meet him one day!
