Words of wisdom and advice from the late Pema Norbu Rinpoche




All the sufferings are caused by our own past actions, without which it cannot happen. Therefore, all of us must act according to the teachings of the Buddha and the advices of one's teachers, and in accordance with the basic principles of the Karmic cause and effect; love each other like children of one's family. When we face any difficulties about our wealth and others, we must be patient. One must try one's best to avoid cheating each other. Only the Triple Jewels can save us from the sufferings of the samsara. Although there are powerful gods and demi-gods in the world, they are themselves in the samsara as they are the embodiment without any defilement and with all the positive qualities. If one has the faith and respect to the Triple Jewels, they can save us from any difficulties such as disease, weapons, famines, and all the others as well as fulfill our wishes all through life and wealth. Not only that but also will one be able to avoid the sufferings of the lower realms in the coming lives and be able to tread on the path to the liberation till one attains the absolute pure field of Buddhahood. If one has fit and respect towards the Triple Jewels, they will definitely save us. So one must be accountable to the Karmic cause and effect and live in harmony with others. One must not give into any difficulties that one might face about life or wealth, otherwise it will only cause even more disease to our body and more sufferings to our mind without any solution. To think positively and having steadfast faith in the Triple Jewels, respecting the Karmic law at all times.

The blessing from His Holiness Penor Rinpoche for world peace.
