Question asked by Maxwell

Dear Rinpoche, most historians agree that tantric Buddhism originated between the 4th and 8th centuries AD. If we accept this, this means that the tantras were not, as tradition states, spoken by the historical Buddha—revealed directly from the mind of enlightenment—and kept hidden by dragons, etc. until their historical appearance, but were created by ordinary people (like other religions). We might say that the tantras are symbolic, and therefore still worthwhile, but it would still be a bit like worshipping something which is entirely imaginary, like the Hulk (to use an example from below)! On the other hand, if we reject the findings of mainstream scholarship, this is like those religions who say the scientists are all wrong, and the earth is only a few thousand years old. What do you say about all this? Thank you very much for whatever you can suggest.

    Dear Maxwell,

    Science is based on observation. Not everything is observable. The expounding of the tantras are on many levels. Whether scientists can pinpoint a date of their beginning or not does not make the tantras valid or not valid. Many scientific findings are changed over time as science is by men also and men make mistakes as they are limited.

    Some phenomenas are beyond scientific capabilities but that does not make them not exist.

Question asked by jangchub

dear rinpoche i seek to be free from suffering and enlightenment means liberation. why would i want to be a buddha and save all other sentient beings ?is it because buddhahood is the path and if i dont have the aspiration to liberate others i can never negate the self cherishing ego and achieve my own liberation ? the whole point of my seeking the dharma is ultimately to free myself from samsaric suffering..cant i be free and blissed forever in a pureland or in arhatship?

  1. Reply by tsemtulku

    If you want to heal the sick, you need to study and graduate as a doctor otherwise it is wishful thinking.

    To be a Buddha is to be liberated from one’s own shackles of delusions and illusions so one can serve others better. Otherwise it us one delusionary being leading another… Being liberated is not ‘liberation’ from the problems of samsara others are enduring. Being liberated is getting one’s ‘degree’ to fully qualify one to benefit others fully and eternally.

    When one’s liberated you may appear in a thousand places as a thousand beings (arhat, yidam, beggar, housewife, etc) simultaneously with zero limits of space, time, form and dimensions. You have no borders and parameters.

    You only negate your own suffering by having the true motivation of liberating others. Bodhicitta. Without this, liberating others and oneself is just thinking without much causes.

Question asked by Devon

If I am not mistaken, Your Eminence has recommended the daily recitation of Je Tsongkhapa’s 27 Verses of Enlightenment, the Gaden Lha Gyema, 1000 mantras of Manjushri, Praise to Manjushri, the 108 Names of Manjushri, daily application of the Eight Verses of Mind Training, water offerings, and 21 prostrations. Furthermore we are asked to undertake the daily, weekly, or monthly recitation of the Wheel of Sharp Weapons, and regular study of Lamrim, The Three Principle Aspects of the Path, and Ashvagosha’s 50 Verses of Guru Yoga. In addition we should volunteer our time at animal shelters and (for those living in Malaysia) Kechara’s departments. The amount of time required for all of these activities is considerable, even overwhelming. (I realize that many of these recommendations were given to individual enquirers, and not intended as general advice.) In that light, would you consider—not now, but at your convenience–compiling these into a practical program of advice?

  1. Reply by tsemtulku

    Dear Devon,

    The practices I have recommended was for the individual. You do not take the combined advice of 15 individuals and ask how can one person do it all. That is not the intent. So do not make it that way.

    You pick what you like from the above and what fits your time and come up with a practical program that fits your life. That would suit you better.

    Good luck.

Question asked by Hui-mei

Are your Chinese name (Ge Yishan) and original Mongolian name (Iska Minh) related, or independent of one another? And why did they give you a new name (Burcha) when you were adopted, instead of letting you keep "Iska"?

  1. Reply by Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

    1. The name Ge I was given as a toddler was the name of my adopted Taiwan family. The name and family has nothing much to do with my ancestry. But I had to be registered and my real family name could not be used. It was kept a secret, so any name was used.

    2. Iska Minh is the name I would of had if my mother kept me and her family accepted me at the time. This is my original and family Mongolian name.

    3. Burcha was the name given to me by my adopted American Mongolian family who wanted very badly to be their ‘real’ son. My step father’s name is Burcha so he named me Burcha also. My new American family didn’t want me to know the truth of my past, who I was or that I was adopted. They kept my identity from me as long as they can till I found out gradually by accident.

    Thanks for asking.

Question asked by Bertram

In his book "There's No Way But Up," David Lai says that your original center in Singapore had a "coup d'etat" and that you were even beaten up. If I may ask, what was the name of that center, and why did this happen?

  1. Reply by Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

    I was not beaten up. But one of the sponsors there wanted me to make money for the centre and do things exactly his way. He would send me faxes as to what he wanted. He would in meetings ‘democratically’ tell me what I was suppose to do. I was not allowed to visit other centres, have other sponsors, go out with people he did not authorize, my schedule was to be planned and executed by him. He was very wealthy, so he would let the committee (picked by him) to do as he wanted. He told me if I did not follow his instructions then he withdraw all financial help.
    It’s a long story, I will talk more in my book in the future…

Question asked by Werner

Rinpoche, I wrote before but my question seems to have gotten lost in the queue. Basically I had asked why you would support the King of Thailand when, under that nation’s draconian lese majeste law, people are routinely jailed for criticizing him. With one word, he could order the release of prisoners, and the end of lese majeste—and yet he remains silent. Agents of the Thai government have even pressured internet sites such as You-Tube to ban all criticism of the Thai monarchy. I am concerned that Buddhist leaders such as yourself notice only his support for your religion, and not his complicity in the suppression of democracy (monarchism favors Thailand’s upper caste, democracy the lower) or tolerance of sexual slavery (run by the elites who form the basis of his support). Even now, Buddhist monks are being marched into Muslim areas under military escort, as a means of humiliating the local people. Can you really mean to endorse all this?

  1. Reply by Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

    Dear Werner,

    I was having technical problems with this section of my blog, but it is rectified. Yes you did post this question, and I could not answer, but now the problem is solved so I can answer.

    I am not involved in politics in any way, anywhere and anytime. I do not know much of the politics of Thailand nor would I get involved.

    We all admire different people in the world. Anyone we admire, others can find causes for criticisms or something we don’t like. There is no one I admire that is above criticism in the eyes of the public.

    I admire His Holiness Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa and Gandhi and people found many faults in all of them. So what to do? Stop admiring?

    I like the King of Thailand for my own reasons and I have shared them. You have every right to feel the way you do and it is your opinion and I respect it. But I still hold onto freedom of who we admire and I mean no offences to you.

Question asked by Swallow

Dear Your Emanence, I feel connection to Yamantaka but have no guru. Which way is best to do? (a) Wait to find guru and then do whatever practice he says, Yamantaka or no. (b) Find teacher who specialize in Yamantaka, ask him be my guru. (c) Take public Yamantaka initiation from H.H. Dalai Lama, or other teacher like that, even though he can’t be my personal guru. (d) Give up Yamantaka because too much complicated for ordinary people, and Vajrayogini more suitable, try to receive Vajrayogini instead. (e) Other possibility? Thank you Rinpoche, folded hands _/|\_

  1. Reply by Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

    Dear Swallow, I will attempt to answer your sincere questions here.

    1. Study the dharma such as Lam Rim, Wheel of Sharp Weapons, Bodhisattva-cha-avatara, 50 verses by Ashvagosha, and Three Principle Paths.

    2.Although bodhisattva and tantric vows are secret, it is good to look through them to make sure you can follow.

    3. Do your main preliminary practices 100,00 each such as mandala, guru yoga, prostrations, refuge, vajrasattva thoroughly and correctly. If you can do these and complete, you will be more ready for Yamantaka. Study up on them and complete them in the privacy of your home. See your mind through these practices.

    4. When you have completed the above, then seek a Yamantaka lama who can confer full commentary teachings on you and you listen fervently. If you can recieve from His Holiness the Dalai Lama then you are very fortunate. If not, other qualified lamas would be good also of course. More important is your practice after recieving this from the lama.

    5. If you feel more for Yamantaka, then you do Yamantaka. Yamantaka has many incredible qualities that is same in Vajra Yogini. I recommend VY because it is much simpler with same results.

    I wish you luck and for now, you can get an image of Yamantaka for your altar, make offerings and do your preliminary practices in front of this image. This would make powerful affinity with Lord Yamantaka. Also it would be good to recite the WHEEL OF SHARP WEAPONS daily in front of your Yamantaka shrine. Do your prostrations, mandalas, offerings in front of Yamantaka daily. That would be wonderful. I sincerely rejoice for you from the bottom of my heart to have such faith in Lord Yamantaka.

    Manjushri Bodhisattva of Wisdom,
    I recall you in your peaceful,
    wrathful, protective, male, female and mystical forms.

    You are undiluted wisdom that realizes reality,
    through this realization you cut the bonds of samsara,
    in times degenerate, you manifest in ferocious forms
    to eliminate our ego which lies undetected like a thief,

    In this supreme form as Yamantaka, I bow down to your
    feet suppressing the devas, maras and obstacles,
    protect me in your divine anger and incinerate my self graping
    within your ferocious flames..Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

Question asked by ng

Rinpoche, you've mentioned in one of your online videos that you've known of ordinary people being able to have a controlled death. Being a Rinpoche is not a strict requirement. That gives us ordinary people much hope. My guess is that following as much as possible your teachings on your blog would be the key. Or is there much more than that ? thank you so much ! please remain for a very long time to guide us.

  1. Reply by Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

    Dear Ng,

    Controlled death was taught by Lord Buddha for all beings not just Rinpoches. So it is available to all who wish to practice.

    Controlled death, means controlled bardo and controlled rebirth also. Death, bardo and rebirth teachings is in any of the higher tantric practices. One must recieve the higher tantras with commentaries, hold the commitments, do the practices and hold onto one’s vows strictly to acquire the merits to accomplish the path.

    The tantras are not practiced for controlled death but it is one of the side benefits that arise. The purpose of the tantras is to tranform ordinary view into divine view to expedite one’s enlightenment during the degenerate age without losing the chance to this precious human rebirth’s afforded opportunities.

    I like your question very much and you are right, there is much more. But the much more is very exciting and very beneficial to yourself and others when you practice and master.

    I wish you supreme luck and encourage you to practice dharma all the way. There is nothing in samsara you have not already done…everything is just repetitions…..

Question asked by Rachel

Rinpoche, should mantras always be spoken / chanted, or is it okay to "say" them silently? And how important is it to concentrate while doing this? BTW, your arm / shoulder problems are likely related to computer use, so please take it easy. And congratulations on your new center opening!

  1. Reply by tsemtulku

    Dear Rachel,
    1. Mantras can be spoken or chanted quietly or just loud enough for you to hear. Depending on situation. If you are alone, then chanted just loud enough for you to hear. If with others silently.

    2.Mantras alone collect merit, but with visualization combined can bestow attainments for sure. The various visualizations are designed for different purposes both mundane and supermundane. Mantras and visualizations are made to go hand in hand.

    3. My arm/shoulder problem arose from sleeping in the wrong position which dislocated a cartilidge in my spine. The doctor is slowly putting it back as it is pressing on a nerve. The Doctor himself had the same exact problem and it took him one month to heal. His treatment is working…thank you for your concern so much. But you are right, when on the computer, the pain increases. Also when I walk around or sit up too long it pains..so when I lay down, the pain goes off because it stops pressing on the nerves.
    The body is made to suffer and I accept that. Having said that, the body can be made healthy to serve others and we have to maintain it so it does not naturally degenerate before it’s time.

    Thank you!

Question asked by MK

Dear Rinpoche,
Hope you are feeling better from your shoulder pain..Would like to ask abt Setrap Practice.
Can Dharmapala Setrap practice assist the practitioner to gain enlightenment? At this point in time we are only doing the short daily Setrap sadhana at home. Actually we have no intention of seeking any higher tantric practice until we are ready for it and of course granted by Rinpoche. Any advise on how to improve our practice Setrap?

  1. Reply by tsemtulku

    Dear MK,

    Definitely Setrap practice can help you toward enlightenment. Setrap took a vow in front of Shakyamuni to do just that. Those of us who practice Shakymamuni’s teachings will do very well by Setrap for sure.

    To improve your Setrap Practice:

    1. Attend the dharma talks by students in Kechara.
    2. Go on the youtube to listen to past dharma talks I have given if it suits you.
    3. Read the WHEEL OF SHARP WEAPONS carefully once a week as a practice.
    4. Volunteer in one of the 13 depts with a motivation to do dharma work and do not judge anything, just observe how your mind thinks.
    5. Do not miss Setrap puja. Attend religiously.
    This is how you can improve for now. I am happy with your question.
    I am happy for you that you have connected with Setrap.
    Tsem Rinpoche

    Yes I am better today..thank you for asking..also today I am able to type more. Past few days was not able to type much due to pain. How lucky I can have pain for KWPC.
    I have been getting wonderful treatment daily from Dr Jiang. He is also VERY GOOD when you have the flu…

Question asked by Anonymous

Dear Rinpoche,
If someone is always being misunderstood or not heard and they are afraid to talk or speak up, is that a sign of bad speech karma? Can you recommend a method to correct this karma?

  1. Reply by tsemtulku

    Dear Anonymous,

    Yes it is the result of past speech karma accummulated. Some remedies that will effect a result over time:

    Take vows in front of the Three Jewels with a determination to keep them to:

    1. Not Lie
    2. Avoid all schismatic talk no matter how ‘appealing’ it may sound.
    3. Do not speak harshly.
    4. Do not speak anything that will hurt anyone and just observe.

    If we take these vows sincerely, everyday we hold the vows, it will generate fresh positive karma to make our speech wonderful now and in the future lives.

    Along with the vows:

    1. Do PRAISE TO MANJUSHRI once a day and the mantra 1,000 times a day.
    2. Do the praise 108 Names to Manjushri if you have.
    3. Look people straight in the eye when you talk to them always.
    4. When people talk, listen, look at them, focus and complement when appropriate.

    5. The 35 Confessional Sutras will be very powerful if recited once a day.

    It is through Buddha’s speech that we gain the knowledge to become Enlightened. Out of the actions of a Buddha, speech is most important. Buddha’s speech ‘becomes’ the Dharma. So in order to gain greater speech and in the future, the Buddha’s speech, holding our vows and practicing speech that benefits others is very important as it creates causes for Buddha speech.

    I wish you luck.

Question asked by Hilda

Dear Rinpoche, how are Oracles trained? Can you say something about your experience? Thank you!

  1. Reply by tsemtulku

    Oracles are trained by highly qualified lamas. Simply to invoke or take trance of any deity can be harmful. One should never do this.

    In short-

    A oracle identified correctly should engage in the following:

    Je Tsongkapa retreat of Migtzeyma (prescribed number according to lama and individual)

    Yamantaka Retreat (number same as above),and then fire puja.

    Hayagriva Retreat (number same as above), and then fire puja.

    Retreat of one’s dharma protector (number same as above)concluding with fire puja.

    Sometimes prostration retreat is required.

    The lama must do a ‘clearing of your channeles’ ritual on you to open the passageways.

    A training can last for 5 years under the guidance of a lama.

Question asked by Wei-ni

Why are there different versions of the Gaden Lha Gyema prayer? Yours seems to have an extra verse from the one I learned.

  1. Reply by tsemtulku

    For each prayer, ritual, sadhana, practice there are always several versions. Over time, they can change to suit the needs of the people of that time, hence different traditions arise amounting to different versions. There is no right or wrong version. So do not worry. Just do the version you are comfortable with.

    Good luck!!

Question asked by Pete Q.

Question: In Arizona, it is possible to buy the stuffed, mounted head of a “Jackalope,” a kind of horned rabbit (technically an antlered hare). By Buddhist consensus, direct perception and inference are the only two means of valid cognition (pramana). Yet in this case, I have direct perception of a horned rabbit (or something that seems to be a horned rabbit), while any authoritative testimony (e.g. from experts in biology) that might correct my misapprehension is rejected as an invalid means of knowledge. Must Buddhist tourists in Arizona accept the existence of rabbit horns?

  1. Reply by tsemtulku

    That is good. Existence is geographical and symbolic. Not necessarily pervasive. So important not to get stuck on the examples set out to help your percieve something deeper.

    Something that might exist in one place may not in another. In pramana, you are concerned with direct perception and inference and not get stuck on examples of it that may exist or not in your area.

    So perhaps in Arizona you can substitute examples with a horned Tibetan instead?? Langdarma doesn’t count…haha

    Good luck on your studies and very happy to hear you contemplating on Pramana. Wonderful.

Question asked by Rimshot

Hello Your Holiness! You often recommend certain rituals, scriptural recitations, and lifestyle changes such as vegetarianism, but rarely speak about either meditation or philosophical study. What should our attitude be towards these practices?

  1. Reply by tsemtulku

    What a refreshing question…Thank you.

    I have spoken hundreds of times on meditation and philosphical studies in the last 17 years. I have spoken endlessly and some recorded and some not. I have been criticized for speaking too much about it!!!! Hahaha So I’ve decided to teach lifestyle Buddhism that is simple and adaptable and leave the hardcore practices for the Monastery.

    I lessened the hardcore talks because most of the crowd not very interested in those. I can give a talk on meditation and why for three hours and at the end of it, people will raise their hands and ask to teach something simple as they don’t have time. So I have cut down dramatically on complicated, long discourses to suit the aptitude of most people who come to me. This I have done purposely.

    You should meditate. You should study. You should practice. You should develop the qualities that will release your mind from the endless birth-death realms we are experiencing. Meditation and study are primary when applied for the purpose of enlightenment and not the sake of knowledge or making money off them.

    I admire your thoughts and I admire your thininking in this direction and you must keep it up. It is a wonderful direction. At the same time while you are meditating/studying do supportive practices that should not be abandoned simultaneously such a tantric practice, not eating meat and preliminaries. My teachers advised doing them simultaneously is important as we lack time.

Question asked by Jnaseh

Hello Rinpoche,
So happy to have this chance to ask you a question from afar! I have heard you share about Vajrayogini and why Her practice is apt for our modern times. I'd really like to know more about why this is so. There was a time when the
"wrathful" forms of compassion were too strong for me to even look at. And when I heard your speak about Vajrayogini's appropriateness for our modern times, it made me very curious.
Thank you for any moment you might have to offer a response. _/|\_

  1. Reply by tsemtulku

    Buddhas manifest according to time, placed, need, karma, and degeneration.

    As times gets more degenerate, and we get further away from Shakyamuni’s (now 2,600 years), some of the methods may not be applicable anymore while some methods that were ‘dormant’ or not as popular or ‘inappropriate’ in the past becomes the best method. And this can change again also. It’s flexible due to need.

    In our time of degneration, the strongest driving impulse for many actions done is desire/lust. Vajra Yogini’s tantra is a direct opponent of this. So without immediately removing desire, in Her path, many ordinary actions we need to do daily are tranformed into actions of the path or for the path. Hence Vajra Yogini’s path is very swift. Ordinary actions daily become ordinary when we practice Her path hence quickening the collection of merits that lead to the destruction of projections. Projections that bind us still.
    I have written other items on my blog under the category Vajra Yogini. You can take a look please.

    Wrathful or peaceful deities are just deities acting according to our disposition. From their side, there is no wrath or peace. Just enlightenment. So don’t get caught up with the iconography alone.

    I wish you the best.

Question asked by Greg

Dear Rinpoche, is Allah a worldly god? Was he just a figment of Mohammed’s imagination? Or is this an example of a Buddha using skill-in-means, by disguising himself as a monotheistic deity? (But why would a Buddha tell Mohammed to kill people?)

  1. Reply by tsemtulku

    I have no answer for this. I do not know all the emanations of Budda.

    It will be simpler to think positive thoughts for practice.

Question asked by Lucian

Enter Your Question HereRinpoche, suppose one desires to travel to a fabulous city which one has heard about. Numerous guides appear, each claiming to know the way. Each dismisses his rivals as ignorant and unqualified. There seems to be no way of determining who is right. If one chooses a guide at random, one might journey a lifetime without ever knowing whether that path was correct. Maybe none of the guides know the way. For that matter, maybe there is no city. How would you resolve this difficulty?

  1. Reply by tsemtulku

    Do not follow the guide. Do not travel to any city. Just don’t think about those things for now.

    But Practice:

    Good heart
    forgiveness of enemies
    generosity
    patience
    and do works that benefit society (charity of your choice)
    Help stop global warming
    save animals

    There may not be a city to go to, but we can improve the ‘town’ we live in. Don’t get stuck in long distance, just focus on the immediate with a good heart passionately and all the way. Do not need to follow any guides to any promised destinations that you cannot percieve at this time, but believe in humnity and assisting in making this world a better place by living that belief.

    That would be good enough for now.

    Very good question. I like it very much. I like your honesty and indepth thinking.

Question asked by Shekhar

Rinpoche, do you think life will be better in the future, or worse? For example, what about Peak Oil, environmental collapse, the population explosion, etc. (Maybe Kechara World Peace Center could be used as a kind of survivalist compound.)

  1. Reply by tsemtulku

    Things are in a cycle. It’s good and then gets worse and then disappears then appears again. The cycle continues that way again and again endlessly.

    When things go bad in samsara there is no surprise, the nature of samsara is suffering. It’s when things go right in samsara we should be surprised.

Meet the Pastors

Serving the community. Tirelessly

Combining the responsibilities of the ordained and the appearance of a layperson, pastors are the connection between the sangha and the everyday practitioner. They are ordinary people who have taken an extraordinary step in dedicating their lives towards sharing the Buddhist tradition. As laypeople holding vows, pastors will make the Dharma accessible to more people, giving them guidance and sharing knowledge. The pastors are usually present at Kechara House and available for consultation anytime. For more information, contact house@kechara.com.

Pastor Chia (sangha to be)

As a pastor, Chia will dedicate his life to befitting others through spreading the works of Tsem Rinpoche and Dharma to many people, through the use of pujas, rituals, counseling and sharing of his knowledge.

Ordained as a Pastor in 2011, Chia Song Peng has had a rich and varied Dharma career. He has held a core position with the Kechara Paradise retail outlets, served as a personal attendant to Tsem Rinpoche, embarked on various pilgrimages and received initiations into higher yoga tantric practices. He is accomplished in many pujas and has a deep understanding of the Dharma.

As a pastor, Chia has dedicated his life to befitting others through spreading the works of Tsem Rinpoche and Dharma to many people, through the use of pujas, rituals, counseling and sharing of his knowledge.

When Chia first met Tsem Rinpoche, he was asked if he wanted to become a monk, however even though this was his aspiration he informed Tsem Rinpoche that he would do so at a later date. For Chia, as he has is already in the Dharma full-time, it would be best if he became ordained. Tsem Rinpoche has reminded Chia from time to time to work towards becoming a monk and he promised that he would do so in the future.

Kechara began from nothing to become a growing Dharma organisation with major projects such as Kechara Forest Retreat, so Chia thinks that this is the perfect time to become ordained as a monk. Recently Tsem Rinpoche asked Chia again if he would like to be ordained, this time Chia said yes.

Pastor Khong Jean Ai (sangha to be)

Jean Ai wishes to become a vessel that holds the teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa to benefit future generations, inspiring others to live by the Buddha’s teachings.

Jean Ai met His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche as a young child and through her parents' involvement with Kechara over the years, she has never known a life without His Eminence. Jean Ai was a regular volunteer of Tsem Ladrang during her childhood and teenage years. After graduating with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Warwick in the UK and working at the London Probation Service, she returned to Kuala Lumpur to join Tsem Ladrang's e-division. There she managed kechara.com, responsible for the weekly Kechara e-newsletter, including content generation and editing. Since then she has joined His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche’s writing team, responsible for executing Rinpoche’s personal instructions and managing his correspondence.

Having visited a nunnery in India in 2004, Jean Ai remembers noticing how happy and purposeful everyone was. She had a feeling of familiarity and the sight of the robes comforted her. Immediately, Jean Ai messaged her mother who told her to ask Rinpoche’s advice. Rinpoche told her to complete her secular education so that when she taught the Dharma her words would carry the credibility and weight of a university degree, something she completed with the motivation that some day she wanted to become a nun.

Through her ordination as a nun, Jean Ai wishes to become a vessel that holds the teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa to benefit future generations, inspiring others to live by the Buddha’s teachings. Through this she hopes to repay the kindness of her parents and her Guru. Above all she wants to abide in a state free of suffering, and she wants this for others as well.

Pastor Shin Tan (sangha to be)

For Shin, this is a great step forward to being fully committed to the cause of others and repaying others’ kindness through sharing the Dharma with others.

Before joining Kechara, Shin worked as a lecturer and provider of content and e-learning content solutions for various start-ups. Whilst providing training to educators teaching students in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) at various colleges, she was invited to attend a Dharma talk given by His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche at Kechara House. This event rekindled her interest in Tibetan Buddhism, as she recalled the joy of accompanying her parents to teachings as a teenager.

Joining Kechara Media & Publications in 2006 as a volunteer, Shin assumed a full time position there as a Marketing Executive, with the aim of making His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche’s teachings available to more people around the world. Shin is now a member of the Tsem Ladrang Team, who takes care of His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche’s secular matters, enabling Rinpoche to focus on teaching the holy Dharma.

Shin states that when she decided to join Kechara full time, she had already decided to be of some benefit to others and spend the rest of her life doing only that. Working closely with His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche, seeing his tireless effort in helping others and spreading the Buddhadharma through the Gaden tradition despite tremendous challenges has made her realise that the next logical step is to become ordained as she has the opportune conditions to study with her Guru. For Shin this is also a great step forward to being fully committed to the cause of others and repaying others’ kindness through sharing the Dharma with others.

Pastor Adeline Woon (sangha to be)

Since finding her spiritual home here in Kechara, Adeline has made dharma work her life’s mission and wishes to dedicate herself fully towards the benefit of others.

Adeline stumbled across His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche's blog towards the end of 2010 and has been following his blog and Facebook page ever since. Since graduating from Dharma Drum Buddhist College Taiwan with a Masters of Arts in Religious Studies in July 2012, she returned to Malaysia and joined Kechara as a Senior Education Executive. Adeline was attracted by His Eminence’s straightforwardness and impressed at Kechara's growth under his guidance. To Adeline, His Eminence is someone who walks the talk, keeps his promises and sincerely cares for others displaying an excellent example of guru devotion, qualities that she seeks to develop herself.

Since finding her spiritual home here in Kechara, Adeline has made dharma work her life’s mission. It was in May 2013 that she officially requested His Eminence for ordination as a nun to dedicate her life fully for the dharma. According to Adeline, become ordained means that she is being true to her calling to live according to the dharma and be of benefit to others.

This however can only be achieved by meeting and studying under her root Guru. Adeline has been fortunate enough to have met with hers - His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche.

Pastor Niral Patel (sangha to be)

It is Niral’s motivation for full ordination to better himself, learn the teachings of our lineage in order to preserve them for future generations. He wishes to benefit others, just as he has benefited and is still benefiting from Tsem Rinpoche’s explanation of the Dharma.

Niral was born and raised in the UK, having graduated with a BA in Anthropology, he was working as a Financial Administrator for a Serviced Apartment & Hotel company as well as a Management Services company before stumbling across His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche’s Youtube channel, entirelyby accident. It was through His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche’s teachings that he began to understand the importance of practicing the Dharma, in order to benefit himself and others around him.

Having been in contact with one of Tsem Rinpoche’s long time students in the UK, he was encouraged to visit Kechara in late 2012 for a 10 day visit. At the end of the visit Tsem Rinpoche requested Niral to come to work at Kechara, to which he agreed.

Niral moved to Malaysia in February 2013 to work as an education coordinator at Kechara House, assisting the Education Division in the creation and implementation of the new education syllabus, teaching teenagers during the Kechara Sunday Dharma School. Ever since meeting Tsem Rinpoche, he has always been encouraged by Tsem Rinpoche to do more Dharma work and strive to better himself. It is with that in mind, that Niral has requested monastic ordination.

It is Niral’s motivation for full ordination to better himself, learn the teachings of our lineage in order to preserve them for future generations. He wishes to benefit others, just as he has benefited and is still benefiting from Tsem Rinpoche’s explanation of the Dharma.

Pastor Tan Gim Lee (sangha to be)

Gim Lee’s main focus is to guide and help anyone who steps through Kechara’s doors through Dharma sharing, counselling, performing pujas and other Buddhist services. She wishes to repay Rinpoche’s kindness by spreading Lama Tsongkhapa’s holy teachings and inspiring others on the spiritual path.

She discovered Kechara by chance in 2006 and started to participate Kechara's activities almost immediately especially the retreat to collect 10 million Migtsema recitations. In April 2006, when Gim Lee met H.E. Tsem Rinpoche and first listened to his teachings, she wept uncontrollably. Though she could not understand it at the time, she had finally found her perfect teacher. She is especially touched by Tsem Rinpoche's compassionate method of teaching by setting his own examples.

Having joined as a staff of Kechara House responsible for housekeeping in 2009, Gim Lee is now one of Kechara House's Front Desk Managers predominantly based in the retreat centre in Bentong, Pahang. She also teaches the Sunday Dharma Class and moderates Dharma discussions on Tsem Rinpoche's blog chat.

The many teachings she has received from Tsem Rinpoche have changed her priorities in life. She found answers to her questions about the purpose of life, and she has realised that the way to overcome the sufferings of pain and anger is by following the path of compassion and wisdom as taught by Lord Buddha. These realisations have led to her request to be ordained as a Sangha member.

As pastor now, and later as a Buddhist nun, Gim Lee's main focus is to guide and help anyone who steps through Kechara's doors through Dharma sharing, counselling, performing pujas and other Buddhist services. She wishes to repay Rinpoche's kindness by spreading Lama Tsongkhapa's holy teachings and inspiring others on the spiritual path.

Pastor Loh Seng Piow (sangha to be)

Loh Seng Piow developed a strong wish to help Rinpoche in spreading the Dharma to the world. With that determination, Loh Seng Piow chose not to pursue his PhD degree in Cambridge University (for which he had been offered a place), resigned from his research job, and joined Tsem Rinpoche as full-time Dharma worker, and has never looked back since.

Back in 2001, Loh Seng Piow had no inkling of just how involved in Dharma he would become. As a Masters degree-holder in Engineering, Loh Seng Piow was working as a research engineer in Singapore when he met His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche. Rinpoche’s talk left a strong impression on him and after a few encounters with Rinpoche, Loh Seng Piow started developing websites for Rinpoche and Kechara.

Loh Seng Piow was trained in science, but soon realised that there were many questions that science could not answer. At the same time, he also felt that science and technology are not the solution to human problems, as humans are much better off compared to thousands years ago, yet the problems in this world are still the same, if not more, and we do not seem to be happier than our ancestors.

Loh Seng Piow soon realised that the Dharma is the ultimate solution to human problems, and that the methods used by His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche are very suitable for this modern era. Loh Seng Piow developed a strong wish to help Rinpoche in spreading the Dharma to the world. With that determination, Loh Seng Piow chose not to pursue his PhD degree in Cambridge University (for which he had been offered a place), resigned from his research job, and joined Tsem Rinpoche as full-time Dharma worker, and has never looked back since.

Meeting Rinpoche was a very refreshing experience for Loh Seng Piow, as he never knew Dharma could be so unconventional yet maintain its essence. As Rinpoche’s personal attendant, Loh Seng Piow has had many incredible moments with Rinpoche and considers himself extremely fortunate because he sees real Dharma in action, both on and off the throne. It challenges him to practice Dharma 24/7. In this way, Rinpoche has blown away his old and persistent way of thinking, which was very much focused on the outer rituals of Dharma.

Having seen that Tsem Rinpoche truly embodies what he teaches, Loh Seng Piow is convinced beyond doubt that it is possible to develop our minds to a higher state, and ultimately achieving enlightenment. All these factors have propelled Loh Seng Piow to take a step further in his Dharma career to become ordained as a pastor in order to be even more effective in sharing and disseminating the Dharma to benefit others.

Pastor Yek Yee

Naturally an introvert, Yek Yee has transformed what was once her weakness into her strength; making what was once impossible now eminently possible.

Independence was forced upon Kok Yek Yee from the tender age of nine, when she had to juggle between work and school to make ends meet. Always the introvert, Yek Yee had few friends and had difficulty expressing herself. So it was unexpected when she chose a career in journalism.

Yek Yee excelled as an award-winning reporter with Guang Ming Daily and Nanyang Siang Pau. Her articles garnered her a fanbase, and in writing, she found an outlet for the thoughts and feelings that she could not verbalise. However, despite her success, Yek Yee was not satisfied. Temporary happiness was not what she was looking for – success, money, relationships, or fame was not the key.

In her search for happiness, Yek Yee met H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, who told her “don’t retaliate with your speech, but use your power of writing to express yourself”. This led her to join Kechara Media & Publications as a writer; subsequently she was appointed Senior Editor as well as a Liaison to His Eminence.

Yek Yee now holds a core role in Kechara Care, giving advice, tours, counseling and teachings to whoever walks through their doors. Through courage and determination, she has transformed what was once her weakness into her strength; making what was once impossible now eminently possible.

As a Pastor, her patience and open-mindedness developed through her journey with Kechara will bring comfort and solace, and her new-found ability to nurture and teach others will bring hope to many.

Pastor Lanse Chiah

Having been a Pastor for a year, Lanse wishes to continue with her integral duties by renewing her vows again.

Lanse graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from Jinan University in Guangzhou, China in 1999 and became a part-time lecturer for several years, teaching western medicine in a Traditional Chinese medical college in Kuala Lumpur.

For a long time, Lanse remained an atheist, subconsciously searching for a spiritual guru as she sought answers to questions she harboured in her mind, questions that had led her into a state of depression during her time at university. As such, she would often read philosophical books in her search for answers.

Lanse first came to know of Kechara in 2007, through her friend of over 10 years, Pastor Yek Yee. She was surprised to see a complete transformation in Pastor Yek Yee, whom she had always known as a non-spiritual person. The first book by Kechara that Lanse chanced upon was the Chinese version of Be Greedy. Naturally, Lanse was skeptical at first, thus she read the book in an attempt to find mistakes with the philosophy. However, she couldn’t find any and was left impressed by how logical the explanations in the book were.

In March 2009, Lanse joined Kechara Media & Publications (KMP) part-time to carry out Chinese translation and help with transcription. The following year, she contemplated upon whether to pursue a full-time medical or a Dharma career, finally deciding on the latter. Lanse came to realise that, although both careers share the same motivation of easing people’s sufferings, she felt that her work in Dharma could lead to a greater contribution for the sake of all sentient beings in a deeper, spiritual sense.

Having been a Pastor for a year, Lanse wishes to continue with her integral duties by renewing her vows again.

Pastor Han Nee

It was not until she witnessed how Rinpoche brought peace and comfort to her dying mother, that she realised she also wanted to touch others with the Dharma.

Lim Han Nee, a mother of two, is a retired secondary school principal. She retired in December 2000 after a 30-year career in education. She obtained her Master’s Degree in Education at Leicester University in the UK, at the end of 2001.

After gaining her master’s degree, Han Nee considered further options of embarking on a doctorate in education or spending her years in retirement, travelling and visiting family. At the same time, she was also in search of her spiritual path. She had begun exploring Theravadan and Chinese Mahayana Buddhism for answers to questions she had.

In December 2004, Han Nee attended a teaching retreat on the topic of the Lamrim and White Tara held by His Eminence Gelek Rinpoche. As the retreat proceeded, she found her questions were being answered. Then in June 2005, Han Nee was introduced to Kechara by her sister, where she met her spiritual guide, His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche, who has recently told her that she must go all the way in the Dharma for the benefit of others.

Han Nee had been a school guidance counsellor for nearly twenty years. However, it was not until she witnessed how Rinpoche brought peace and comfort to her dying mother, that she realised she also wanted to touch others with the Dharma.

A member of Kechara’s Puja Team, who conduct sponsored pujas in Shabten Khang, Han Nee is also a member of the Education Division with the portfolio of Content Development. Apart from this, Han Nee is also a member of the weekly Kechara Chat Time team.

Pastor David Lai

In 2014, with a sincere wish to benefit others, David decided to be ordained as a Buddhist pastor to continue serving the spiritual needs of the organisation.

David Lai has been a student of His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche for over a decade now and was one of the founding members of Kechara. He joined Kechara as a full time staff in 2005 and has been working in various departments beginning with the Kechara Paradise outlets.

Right from the beginning, David had been advised by His Eminence to go into writing. Overcoming various hurdles, David finally began his literary career with the publication of his first book and autobiography, There’s No Way But Up in 2009. The book charts his spiritual journey from his childhood and culminates in the meeting with His Eminence.

The positive feedback from this book led him to write various other publications like Vajrayogini and Other Power Places in Nepal – a pilgrim’s guide of Nepal, Tales My Lama Told Me – a book on short stories and Conversations in Love – a book on relationships. These books continue to inspire and bring people onto the Dharma.

Besides writing, David has found his passion in sharing the Dharma since his earlier days working in the Kechara Paradise outlets. Over the years, David has received innumerable teachings from His Eminence, ranging from public teachings to personal instructions and advice. He is known to passionately share these teachings whenever he can and to whomever he meets. In 2014, with a sincere wish to benefit others, David decided to be ordained as a Buddhist pastor to continue serving the spiritual needs of the organisation.

Pastor Henry Ooi

After following Rinpoche as a Dharma student for all these years, learning and practicing the Dharma, Henry knows the importance of the pastors’ role in Kechara founded by Rinpoche. He wants to become a pastor to serve Rinpoche, to serve Kechara, and to serve the public.

Born in 1952 in Penang, Henry moved to Kuala Lumpur in search of work after he finished his Form Five studies in 1969. He worked at different types of jobs and it was when he was jobless in 1997/8 that he met His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche at the house of his cousin, Ruby (now Dato’ Ruby Khong), when Rinpoche was giving a dharma teaching. At that teaching Henry was awed by how Rinpoche taught Dharma with simple yet profound explanations.

With the kind guidance, teachings and Dharma practices by Rinpoche including instruction to engage in their first spiritual retreat, Henry and his wife Angel started a small business that soon became profitable. A few years later after Kechara House Buddhist Association was founded, Rinpoche started to enrol students as liaisons and that was when Henry and Dato’ Ruby offered themselves. Later more students were elected as liaisons that saw the birth of Liaisons Council. The Liaisons Council is now known as the Board of Directors of which Henry is one of its members.

Currently Henry is the Project Director, overseeing the construction and completion of projects in the Kechara Forest Retreat. Prior to this appointment he was the Head of Department in Kechara Paradise retail outlets of which he served for about ten years. He still remains as its company director as well as director for most of the companies within Kechara. He served one term as vice president of Kechara House Buddhist Association from 2012 to 2103.

After following Rinpoche as a Dharma student for all these years, learning and practicing the Dharma, Henry knows the importance of the pastors’ role in Kechara founded by Rinpoche. He wants to become a pastor to serve Rinpoche, to serve Kechara, and to serve the public. As he aspires to be a monk as he grows older, being a pastor of Kechara will pave the way for his aspiration. Henry believes that as one gets older in life, one should have already prepared for the imminent, death. And what a beautiful death it will be, to die in Kechara Forest Retreat in a monk’s robes. This is the kind of death that Henry wants. But before the imminent death happens, Henry wants to continue working in Kechara Forest Retreat, serving the community and whoever comes into it in whatever way he can. And when he is not physically anymore to serve others, he will request instructions from Rinpoche to enter into retreats in Kechara Forest Retreat.

Pastor Patsy Gooi

All that Patsy wants now is to spend the rest of her life doing dharma work, dharma practices and being of benefit to others.

Formerly a full time housewife with plenty of free time, Patsy had the great fortune to visit Gaden Monastery and meet H.E. Tsem Rinpoche almost twenty years ago. That one week stay in the monastery changed her view of life. Prior to that, she had no spiritual inclinations but meeting Rinpoche stirred something inside her, and she realised that there was more to life than just eating, sleeping, shopping and having fun. Rinpoche’s approach to dharma was logical and practical but most importantly, he stressed that we should always focus out and work towards benefitting others. Rinpoche made dharma easy to understand and his advice was and still is, to “change inwardly, not outwardly.”

In 2009, after years of practicing and applying what she had learned from Rinpoche’s teachings, Patsy decided to set up a Kechara retail outlet in Penang to share the dharma with others. She knew that Rinpoche’s teachings were very applicable to the people of our time and that his activities would benefit others just as they had benefited her. She also wanted to repay the kindness of her Guru who had constantly helped and guided her. Today, Kechara Paradise Penang is not just a dharma shop but also organises puja sessions, animal liberation and dharma talks.

In 2010, again with Rinpoche’s blessings, Patsy set up the Kechara Soup Kitchen Activity Center in Penang. Saddened to see the plight of the homeless and urban poor on the streets, Patsy decided to practice “compassion through action” as taught by Rinpoche in the most active way she knows. Today, together with her team of volunteers, Patsy feeds the homeless and urban poor four times a week and provides basic food provisions to many hardcore poor families on a monthly basis.

All that Patsy wants now is to spend the rest of her life doing dharma work and dharma practices, and that she may be of benefit to others.

Pastor Albert Ratchaga

In 2008, Albert Ratchaga began working as a part timer in Kechara Paradise, but as he learned more about the works of Rinpoche and Kechara, Rinpoche’s kindness and compassion touched him deeply. He realised that his work gave his life more meaning and decided to join Kechara full time.

Through his work as a sales executive, Albert was able learn more Dharma from Rinpoche's teachings and use this wisdom to assist those who entered his store to overcome their problems, thus improving their lives.

Albert soon developed a deep wish to follow in Rinpoche’s footsteps and in 2016 was ordained as a Pastor to continue benefitting and serving others.

    A Chinese ghost marriage is a ceremony that unites a deceased person with a living or deceased person. The family of the deceased usually arranges the marriage. Despite its long history and unique practices, the original purposes of ghost marriages remain largely unknown. The ghost is a classical image in Chinese culture, have a history stretching back 3,000 years. This tradition dates back to the first Chinese dynasty, making it at least 2200 years old, while others even note that it’s roughly 3000 years old! Despite reports of it still being practiced in remote Chinese villages in China,Taiwan and certain Asian countries . Ghost marriages are acceptable and symbolic in especially in Taiwanese culture, with many social elements related to them. Interestingly enough Li Kim and team did a great research ,spoke to Professor Lin Mao-Hsien, a Taiwanese folklore scholar on these interesting tradition. Reading this article with a better understanding of the ghost marriages. The story of the man by the name Wu Wen-Da, who had been dreaming about a dead woman named Zheng Su Mei truly interesting.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Li Kim .

    Interesting account of the investigation of Supiyati an Indonesian woman’s body filled with needles, nails, and wires.
    After many efforts to find a cure in their hometown never found any success, Dark Magic is an incredibly powerful form of witchcraft that draws on malevolent powers.Black magic is a belief system that is not supported by scientific evidence. However, psychologists and neuroscientists have studied magic to understand how it affects people’s perceptions and beliefs. Regardless of the path forward, the study and understanding of black magic will undoubtedly remain a subject of enduring fascination and scholarly inquiry.

    The basis of the Buddha’s teaching is to be found in the Four Noble Truths. The Buddha teachings describe the nature of suffering and the path to its end. Suffering is unavoidable and affects everyone. Craving and ignorance lead to suffering. Whatever we do have consequences, so living in a way that minimizes harm can prevent future pain. Good to cultivate good qualities and abandoning non-virtuous thoughts and actions. Abandoning dishonest livelihood and living a life of right livelihood. Being kind and compassionate towards oneself and others. The Fourth Noble Truth is the truth of the Path that leads to the cessation of suffering.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Genla for this profound teachings.

    Dorje Shugden is a protector in Tibetan Buddhism, originally a minor protector in the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism. Later adopted by the Gelug school. Has been worshipped throughout history by several schools of Tibetan Buddhism. As a wrathful manifestation of Manjushri, the Wisdom Buddha, who grants wisdom, clarity, and concentration. A protector who fulfils wishes and prayers, brings material resources,healing, and protects from harm to those who sincerely rely on. Also helps us to clear obstacles, and attracts opportunities for success, growth and in many ways. Many practitioners have benefited ultimately for helping them stay on the spiritual path. Rely on Dorje Shugden consistently over times, we will see his graceful yet powerful assistance in our lives. The prayers is indeed very powerful and have me change my life.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this simplified daily prayer. Easy and convenient for everyone.

    The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge. Part of being successful is about asking questions and listening to the answers. Asking questions is the first way to begin change. Knowledge shared is knowledge squared. A great way to learn by reading and asking various enlightened aspects of Tsongkapa. I am still learning even I have revisit this blog on and off. Still trying to remember names of great lamas.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this post.

    Born in 1905 in the village of Nangsang in the Kham province of eastern Tibet HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was a master of philosophical debate. He was a powerful Tantric practitioner, well known throughout the three great Gelug monasteries of central Tibet. Wow in an early stage of his childhood he performed various magical miracles such as able to invoke a female naga goddess in a nearby lake. A master of sutra and tantra, H H Kyabje Zong Rinpoche had performed countless holy deeds and gave thousands of Dharma teachings during his lifetime. A biography of a great Master who possessed an extraordinary memory and was renowned for healing activities. Zong Rinpoche was the Guru of many great masters. Interesting read of all the miraculous stories of Kyabje Zong Rinpoche.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing of a great Master

    All thanks to our Guru that we are given a chance to get connected to the Sublime Queen, Vajra Yogini and collect merits along the way. The idea of making real gold-paint offerings to Vajra Yogini in KFR is indeed awesome for everyone. In Buddhism, symbolic offerings are made to the Triple Gem, giving rise to contemplative gratitude and inspiration. Making offerings to the Buddhas are acts of generosity and therefore highly meritorious.
    Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands.

    ndia is a land of diverse cultures, traditions, and spiritual practices. They allow religious freedom among its most enigmatic and intriguing spiritual sects are the Aghoris, a group of ascetics who are often surrounded by mystery, fear, and fascination. But the Tibetan leadership creates religious differences leading to discrimination, violence, hatred and bias against Shugden practitioners. Everyone has their rights to choose and practice whatever they want. The ban of Dorje Shugden is therefore unnecessary and illogical . In recent years religious freedom has improves.
    Interesting blog of a sect of ascetic sadhus who practice a unique and extreme form of Hinduism. They are the only surviving sect of the Kapalika tradition, a Tantric form of Shaivism originated in Medieval India. The Aghoris are a fascinating and mysterious group of Hindu ascetics, who have a distinct and radical approach to spirituality. They are known for their bizarre and unconventional rituals. They live in cremation grounds, smearing ashes on their bodies, using human skulls as utensils, and eating flesh from human corpses. Aghoris are Hindu devotees of Shiva the god of destruction and transformation, and they seek to attain liberation from the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. They see themselves as healers, both of the body and the soul. Many believe that their intense penance and devotion give them extraordinary powers.They engage in practices that challenge conventional ideas of purity, such as meditating in cremation grounds, consuming what others deem inedible, and embracing what society often shuns.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting sharing.

    Saying thank you and showing our gratitude with a handwritten message can make all the difference in our life.At times, when our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has reason to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. None of us who achieves success without the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge is this help with gratitude. Let us rise up and be thankful. Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.Its gratitude that helps us to grow and expand . And also gratitude brings joy and laughter into our life and into the lives of all those around us. Spiritually it unlocks the fullness of life and turning what we have into enough in life.

    Wangze is one of Dorje Shugden’s emanations and is the most powerful deity to propitiate in order to assist us when we are facing difficult situations with difficult people and positive influence on others. Wangze’s practice can cultivate energies of power, influence, and the ability to positively influence others. Practising this practice with knowledge and understanding we may gain a firm footing on the spiritual path bringing benefit to their lives.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

    7 years ago
    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
