Buddhist Monk Talks About the Yeti

Not only is Tsem Rinpoche a respected Buddhist Monk and Spiritual Advisor, he's also a yeti/bigfoot enthusiast! He has some great articles on his website about the yeti, (yes he runs a professional website) and it's definitely worth checking out.

As most of my blog readers know, I regularly blog about Bigfoot (aka Yeti and Sasquatch)… on various Bigfoot sightings, new-found evidence, Bigfoot sighting locations, documentaries etc. These mysterious creatures, that has managed to escape from human discovery for centuries, has been one of my deep interest since I was a young child.

I have previously heard many times that the Yeti, although fearsome, are very spiritual beings. Within the Tibetan Buddhist community, it is known that Yeti’s have been sighted many times bringing food to monks meditating in the Himalayas. In fact, one of my friends, a highly attained Lama mentioned to one of my students that in my past life, Yeti’s would serve as my messenger while I meditated in the caves within the Himalayan mountains. There’s no reason why a Buddhist lama would lie about this… and I thought, perhaps this is the reason why I am so fascinated by them now.

I came across an article by the Lonely Planet on a guide to find Yeti’s in the Himalayas. It’s a very nice read, and also shows how Yeti’s are spiritual beings and have for a long time been connected with many Lamas within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. There is even a Yeti relic in one of the monasteries in Nepal! How interesting!

Do take a look and read how some people not only go to these regions for a holiday or a spiritual pilgrimage… but to also hopefully catch a glimpse of the mysterious creature in the mountains.
