Brand New Eyes

Hey guys,

Welcome to the blog! This blog will be documenting my spiritual journey in life as i trudge through it, learn more about things and share whatever i've learnt here.

I'm a Tibetan Buddhist and my Spiritual Guide is H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. He's a really amazing teacher that hails from Ganden Shartse (presently relocated in Mundgod, India after the Chinese invasion) and he teaches primarily not about those mystical stuff but down to earth (but hard to practice, altho easy over time!) principles that people can easily integrate into their lives. He's really compassionate and can be quite strict at times, but its really for our own good.

To meet such a remarkable person is really not easy and it does take a lot of merits and affinity to be able to encounter a person like that and see how he works. And in so many ways, being a Buddhist was more than just going to the temple and reading books and trying to be 'good' to your capacity, but it is in reality so much more than that. And to meet a Spiritual Guide that can open your eyes to than and push you to achieve more is extremely lucky indeed. Not much people have this fortune to be trained, cared for and taught under a kind person who wishes nothing but for the benefit of others.
