Feel the Zen, in a Zen temple of Kyoto, Japan; it’s bound to bring you an immense sense of peace and joy at heart!
Khenpo in Japan -- lectures in universities, visits to temples and museums, strolls in the cities and, of course, Mt. Fuji.
My guru gave initiation and teaching at this dharma center in Malacca 21 years ago. I came specifically to see this house which has not been used for a long time, the front yard now covered in grass.

Here we begin a new year again. No one knows what lies ahead, but everyone must keep going. What we can do is to train our minds to face whatever comes our way without fear.

Happy Losar! May you abide in peace and joy in the year of the fire rooster.
Lunar New Year is coming. Wish you and your families all the best. Hopefully, our happy time is not doom for animals; have a healthy, caring and merry spring festival.
While learning the Dharma, many people encounter various questions. I try to answer some of the questions regarding life, spiritual practice, releasing lives, etc. in a series of Q&A sessions on the official website Luminous Wisdom. May you find them helpful.
