Hi Hkkoh, I noticed you created two threads on Tibetan Buddhism with the same topic name.
I'm combining them into one, here.
Here's your other post:
Hi, I would like to practice Tibetian Buddhism and I saw alot of centers conducting classes on that and have no idea which one to go to.
Any advise. Thxs

Not really. Are you sure those are Taoist statues? Buddhism have our own protectors, etc.

I went to the tibetan temple, saw the statue of ji gong (the man who carries the fan) there in the altar -

Anyway that's interesting.
Anyway ji gong can be considered a Buddhist figure, not necessarily Taoist. He was a Buddhist monk from the Ch'an school.

Ch'an/Zen is a school of Mahayana Buddhism that emphasizes meditation, koan training etc to gain enlightenment. It is considered direct in its approach to realize the nature of mind.
There's not only one Tibetan temple at Lavendar if I'm not wrong...
Do you know the name?

Hi, Eternal
I have come across a good Guru after my post and will be getting oral transmission from him.
Can i check with you, what things must I present to my Guru Rinpoche if he is going to accept me as his disciple. Thanks

Cool, which guru which monastery?
As for what things to present to guru, I'm not too sure sorry, guess you have to ask the people at the place.

Yes, this is the temple. If you people need prayers, be prepared to pay for at least few hundred dollars.Everything is money.

just why do you say that?
i have been visiting thekchen choling occasionally.
they may be falling short on funds but they're nowhere near being mercenary.
-
It is at Geylang. The Guru is a retreat master and he is very compassionate, approachable. :) not mercenary at all.
-
I have been to another center and read about other's as well very commercialize.
For this center I felt very at ease with the ppl there and also close interaction with the Rinpoche, so approachable.. :) I have no idea which lineage he is from cause I am very new have yet to find out more but the feel he gave is very compassionate and righteous. He never hastily agree on my approach to have him as my Guru, and actually ask me to take my time to find out what I really want. He did share alot and i will leave that out... hehe
