Question asked by Valérie FINK, valeriefink24@gmail.com

NAMO. Please, Venerables, I'd like to know if an on-line prayer for HE Tsem Rinpoche Long Life is available, with the photenic pronunciation of the Tibetan words of it. Thank you very much,
With my best wishes for your whole mandala.

    Hi Valérie,
    Thank you for your enquiry. There are two long life prayers for H.E. Tsem Rinpoche composed by His Holiness Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche and the grand Abbot Emeritus (Ex Abbot) Kensur Rinpoche Konchok Tsering of Gaden Shartse Monastery, both are available in the link below with phonetic pronunciation of the Tibetan words. Reciting either one of them is fine.

Question asked by eric w.

dear pastors
how does one respect other s wishes for temporary happiness when it comes to thinking about their ulitimate happiness . I try to talk about my family about spritiality but their not really interested.
this kinda leaves me isolated. I feel like I have insight but not yet a buddha or Rinpoche but feel like I have an understanding of reality but I haven't left the world. I don't know how to really relate to people that don't understand my point of view. I want to help my family by trying to discuss sprititual ideas to them. I am kinda in the middle of between enlightment and the world I as an achetype I am like tara with one foot in the world and the other in the absolute or at least that's how I feel. idont know what to do to help my fellow humans. I am learning about the pit falls of cyclic existance.
so how do I balance that they don't know about the bliss of enlighntment.
I pray for them but I a m stuck in my own search for temporary happiness
I guess I shouldn't critize them but I do have bodhichitta and want to free myself and others.

p.s. ask Rinpoche when will I become a buddha lol

    Dear Eric w,

    I read your comment on your effort in helping your family. You sound concern, but slightly frustrated. I think it’s because you care about them, therefore, you are expecting some outcome from your effort.

    Please always remember spirituality is not something we can force onto others. The realization doesn’t come from books or theory. We must learn, contemplate and practice again and again to achieve some realization. And how much result gain during the process itself is also dependent on our own merit and karma. Therefore, if you really want to help your family, perhaps you can help them by showing them different ways to collect merit. But first of all, you must show them love and care by being present and listening to their needs.

    Do it skilfully and do one thing at a time. If you can do it consistently, patiently and with a lot of care, I believe you will see the result soon.

Question asked by Samantha

I am a mother. I am very close to my children. I cannot imagine a world detached from them. Yet, I want so much to learn to let go and practice meditation. please help me to find the correct way to do the right thing on my spiritual path please. My 3 sons are aged 21, 18 and 16.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Samantha,

    Mothers will always care and worry about their children regardless of the children’s age and their ability to be independent, this is the nature of a mother’s love. That’s nothing wrong. However, we need to be able to differentiate between love and attachment.

    Love will not make us miserable but attachment will. True love is unconditional, without expectation, therefore easier to let go. Whereas attachment is clinging in nature and full of expectation, therefore very hard to let go. I believe in most cases, a mother’s love is a mixture of the above.

    If it’s out of attachment, then whenever you feel that you can’t let go, please contemplate on the impermanence of life. We should always remember that we have no control over our life and body. Death may come at any time, and when it comes, everything we think belong to us now, whatever we believe we can’t let go now, will soon become a thing of the past. When death comes, we basically have zero control over everything.

    Try to contemplate on this daily. I hope it helps.

Question asked by dolker

i watched a video of dalai lama today( it was a masterchef cooking show where he was invited as a guest) .. i was watching it and tears just roll down my eyes looking at him.. why is that? After i ended the video i was shocked at myself. The video was not sad or anything and still i cried

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Dolker,

    Thank you for your question. The possible answer to your question is it’s a blessing.

    What is a blessing? A blessing is when someone, something, some event or some situation reconnect you back to your past, which could be this life or previous life when you did something good, and it makes you feel very touched and comfortable. In Buddhism, it always happens upon sight of certain lama or Buddha, and it opens up dharma seeds from your previous life.

    Therefore, it doesn’t really matter what program you are watching. The blessing may come regardless especially when the object that you are watching is someone holy and attained, just like H.H. the Dalai Lama.

    This article gives a simple but in-depth explanation about blessing, do read it when you are free: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/what-is-a-blessing.html

    Thank you.

Question asked by as

Hello, my question is ..is vedic astrology accurate? Few months ago my fiances mother took my date of birth and time of birth and gave it to an astrologer and he read my birth chart. He said if we get married before certain age then someone will die.. because of my bad placements of planets in certain house in birth chart ie mangal dosh ..his mother told me that astrologer is always accurate and ever since i feel tensed.. i dont know what to do i check in google about this mangal doshh and everywhere it says spouse will die .. what to do

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear as,
    Thanks for your question. Throughout the world, there are many ways to predict or forecast our future, one of them is astrology. Human beings often seek information and assurance about their future as a way to solve their current situation and to aid their future decisions.

    As we all know, astrology is the science of the effects of planetary movements on our lives, there is certainly some basis for that and it must have shown some accuracy to a certain extent else the astrology wouldn’t have existed for so long in human history.

    However, as a Buddhist, we all know our future is actually depending on our karma. And karma though can decide our future, it’s not something fixed, and it can be purified if we transform, change or do something on it. For example, different types of purification practices.

    Therefore, you can take astrological prediction as a reference if you like, but don’t be over-fixated on the result and take it as a fixed destiny. If our destiny is fixed and can’t be changed, then all religious practices are pointless. What’s the point of engaging in all types of practices if there’s nothing we can do to change our future? Think of this logic carefully.

    There are many teachings on karma on this blog, I would encourage you to read through them if you really want to understand more. The link below is one of the teachings. Please take Dharma as the ultimate guide for your life and practice accordingly, you will see a change. May you always be blessed by the Three Jewels.

Question asked by Jason

Hi,

I have a few questions regarding setrap?
On page 71 of the medium shartse's jewel it says the hundred-syllable mantra arises from their three places … transgressions of the great dharmapala's body , speech, and mind, whatever has been defiled is cleansed and becomes pure. If Setrap is enlighted and a buddha or a budda's emanation why does he need to be cleansed or purified? do buddhas need to be cleasned, aren't they already free from transgressions?

Second Question
On page 93 of the medium shartse's jewel it says in the future you will become a non Buddhist opponent of the teachings … buddhas and bodhisattvas will be called to subdue you! How can an enlighted ( buddha) protector who is also an emanation of amitabha be born as an evil non Buddhist. How can he be subdued if he is a buddha?

Question three
Besides setrap and dorje shugden, what other enlighted protector takes trance in an Oracle.?

  1. Reply by pastorniral

    Dear Jason,

    You have asked some very interesting questions. The answers are complex, so I’ll try to explain them as best as I can.

    1. You are right that all enlightened beings are free from transgressions and so do not need to be purified. This visualisation is only done by those with tantric initiation or those who have instruction or permission to so. However, I will explain two ways in which this aspect is necessary for Dharma protector practice:

    > Dharma Protector practice follows a standard format. This part of practice occurs in all Dharma Protector practices, therefore when you practice those Protectors who are not enlightened, this step is essential. However, since Setrap is enlightened, even though it is not theoretically necessary, since he is a Dharma Protectors, his prayers follow the standard format of practice.

    > From the side of an enlightened being, they do not need purification, because they have already purified everything. However, from our side this is necessary. Our prayers and even our visualisations all have a meaning. When we visualize the deities, since we are not enlightened, these visualisations themselves are tainted. Therefore, we purify these visualisations in stages during sadhanas or pujas until they are pure as possible. There are many stages in a puja or sadhanas to accomplish this. When our visualisations are as pure as possible, then the energies of the Buddhas enter and abide in our visualisations stronger, which means more benefit for us. Therefore this is an example of that. We are not purifying the actual deity, we are purifying our visualisation of the deity.

    2. The Buddhas can take on the form of any being or object in order to benefit beings. This can include enlightened forms, unenlightened forms, even inanimate objects, like bridges or buildings. Setrap for example is an emanation of Amitabha but his form is wordly, meaning in a form common to existence (in this case, of a Yaksha being). Similarly, he could take the form of an unenlightened being, appearing to contradict the Buddhist teachings, in order to create the circumstances for the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to take new forms to “counter” him. In doing so, since they appear in new forms, they will have new practices, and these practices may be more efficacious for those in that particular time to practice in order to overcome the suffering and problems of that particular era. If you say that an enlightened being cannot appear in form a or form b, then you are actually limiting their abilities, which is not actually the case as Buddhas can emanate any form they like.

    3. Other Enlightened Dharma protectors include Kache Marpo, Yumar Gyalchen, etc. Basically it is possible for any enlightened Dharma Protector appearing in worldly form to take trace in an oracle. That being said it is not outside the realm of possibility for an oracle to also take trance of an enlightened Dharma protector who appears in enlightened form.

    I hope these answers help.

Question asked by Shakya

Is killing mosquito a bad karma ?

  1. Reply by pastor

    Hi Shakya,

    Thank you for your question. Regardless of what, killing is still killing and the action of causing other sentient beings to die is bad karma. However, just like any action that we do, the degree of the bad karma may vary depending on the object we kill, our intention, the actual action and the completion of the action.

    For example, the karma of killing a human being (object) is heavier than killing a mosquito (object); The karma of killing mosquitos for fun (intention) by gradually cutting their body into parts (actual action) must be heavier than if we kill mosquitos by spraying pesticides in order to protect ourselves from mosquito-borne diseases.

    Therefore, If we are living in a place where there’re a lot of mosquitos, the best way to do is still through prevention not killing.

Question asked by Parth2

Greetings everyone! I have been chanting mantras in my dreams. They include the mantras of Tara, guru rinpoche, the migtsema and a few more. I would love some insight on this. Thanks a lot.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Parth2,
    Thank you for your question. Our dreams are largely affected by our thoughts, the experience we went through as well as our daily activities. The interpretation of dreams is also very subject to individual although some high dharma practitioners do experience special auspicious dreams.

    Therefore, dreaming of yourself chanting holy buddhas mantras could be due to your subconscious mind, your daily chanting activities or it could be the result of your practice. Either way, I would still see it as a blessing as no matter what, due to the power of the object which is the holy mantra, even though the dreams occur without your conscious efforts, it will still be considered as a blessing.

Question asked by Mitzi

Can a "Dakini" take a form of an animal like a cat to help someone or must it only be human.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Mitzi,
    Dakini represents the manifestation of liberating energy in female form. However, just like all enlightened Buddhas, the enlightened dakinis do not confine to form. They can manifest in human form as well as other forms. Therefore, it’s possible for them to manifest in the form of an animal to help someone.

Question asked by David

Hello, wonderful website it really helps to read it.

I want to know if the state of Nirvana achieved in Mahamudra and Zen is the same? When I say Zen i mean the Buddhist schools of Japan (Rinzai, Soto).

Thanks

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear David,

    Different school of Buddhism holds different views of Nirvana. In Vajrayana Buddhism, Nirvana is a state of mind which nothing more than being awakened to the enlightened nature of our consciousness and it can be achieved in one instant.

    While to Rinzai Zen, Nirvana is not a goal, Nirvana is already there, at that very moment, that very place. Nirvana exists in our mind, it’s a state where cause and effect no longer exist. Rinzai says:”The world and nirvana are one and the same, and one who makes even a small distinction between them is ignorant.”

    Below is the link to an article introducing Professor Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki, who successfully introducing Zen Buddhism to the west. Perhaps you would be interested in knowing about his idea on Nirvana which is included in this article.

Question asked by Meg

Hi.

Having committed an offence towards my parents in ignorance and fear, I often feel immense guilt.

Though it occurred in childhood, and was not done intentionally to cause hurt at all, it still disturbs the mind a lot.

It was a really stupid mistake, which spiralled out of control, but the effects are still being felt. There is a lot of trouble in concentration in meditation and even in everyday life due to remorse over the fact that people got emotionally hurt.

How can I accept and move past this thing which is troubling me? I understand I was a child and in a lot of pain which caused me to make bad decisions but one of my parents seems to hate me, really hate me since then. There is a lot of hostility by that parent and I don't know what to do.

I'm really depressed. I think I've been for a long time now.
Though I'm glad I've found Buddha's teachings but sometimes it still feels like its too much to take in. Which makes me feel worse as I know a lot of people went through worse like rinpoche… But I'm just so weak.

  1. Reply by pastorniral

    Dear Meg,

    Thank you for your question and I am sorry that this happened, and that you are still feeling the effects of it even today. Unfortunately, the way the world works is that we all have expectations which cloud our mind and judge the way that we react. This is the true meaning of “ignorance” that the Buddha taught and should us a way out of. We react from this ignorance and when we do that, when things do not live up to our expectations, this makes us upset and in this case angry. This applies not only to you when took that original action, but also to your parent who became angry that you did not live up to their expectations as it were. However, this applies to all of us, in all our situations in life. That is what Buddha meant when he said, we all suffer.

    There are two methods with which to come at this situation, and both should be used in conjunction. The first, which you may have probably already tried, is to discuss the situation with that particular parent. The best way is to create an peaceful environment and sit your parent down, and tell them you are being honest, apologise again for the incident, and then explain how you have been feeling since then. Though this sounds like it won’t probably work, if you are honest, this actually has a very big impact. This is something that I have done before with my own parents, so I know that it works. In the end we were able to move past the incident and the subsequent emotions that followed it.

    The second is to engage in a practice, for this I would like to suggest you for you to engage in the practice of Lama Tsongkhapa combined with the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden. You can find the prayers here: https://www.dorjeshugden.org/practice/diamond-path-a-daily-sadhana-of-dorje-shugden

    The reasons for this particular set of prayers is that this incident has left an emotional toil on your mind, making you depressed. The practice of Lama Tsongkhapa is known to be extremely beneficial for such situations, while Dorje Shugden can help to remove the obstacles in your life so that you and your parent can move past this. Through a regular daily practice, it will also be source of strength for you. You should concentrate on the mantra recitation, and recite as many mantras as you can each day.

    I sincerely pray that this will be of some benefit and you are able to move forward past this phase to something better.

Question asked by rahul.banerjee@saha.ac.in

Dear Friend ,
I would like to learn the yoga of channels, winds and drops as per the vajrayogini tradition. I am a worshipper of chinnamasta as a HIndu. Would it be possible to learn the yoga.

Rahul Banerjee
Kolkata, India

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Rahul Banerjee,
    In Tibetan Buddhism, Vajrayogini practice is one of the highest tantric practices which require initiation before you can engage in her practice. Therefore, if you would like to learn about Vajrayogini Tantra, the very first step is you will need to find a guru who can confer you the practice. When the guru-disciple relationship is established, a real guru will guide and assess you on sutric path first until he thinks that you are ready to receive the initiation. This process may takes years. Nevertheless, if you are serious about learning the Vajrayogini tantra, there are practices that you can do before you receive the initiation as recommended by H.E. Tsem Rinpoche. Below is the link to the article:

Question asked by Paulo Sérgio

Hello, dear pastors!
My question today is about the families of the Five Buddhas: Vairochana, Amitabha, Akshobya, Ratnasambhava and Amighasiddhi.

I read that all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, deities, etc., which we know of, belong to a particular family, among the five mentioned above. However, sometimes I can not know for sure which family a particular deity belongs to. I ask:

1 – Which family does the female Prajnaparamita Buddha belong to?

2 – Why do they say that Yamantaka is a deity of the Vajra family (of Akshobya Buddha) if he is an emanation of Buddha Manjushri (who is of the family of Vairochana)?

3- I would like you to send me the following mantras written in Tibetan: a) Tadyata Om Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Soha! , b) Om Ah Prajnaparamita Hung Hung Phat!

4 – Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso in his book "Tantric Grounds and Paths" states that a person who has initiation into the Kriya Tantra of any deity in the Tathagatha family is automatically entitled to practice any other deity in the Padma or Vajra family. Does this mean that this person does not need empowerment to practice Vajrapani (who is from the Vajra family) or Avalokiteshvara (who is from the Padma family)?

Gratitude for the precious help of you who always clarify me.
Hands in prayer … Tashi Delek!

  1. Reply by pastorniral

    Hello Paulo Sérgio!

    1. Prajnaparamita is not said to belong to any of the Buddha Families. This is because she is the embodiment of the Perfection of Wisdom herself, and is therefore known as the Mother of All Buddhas.

    2. This will be explained below.

    3. You can search online for these mantras, unfortunately I do not have a copy of these in Tibetan, as our prayer books use the transliterated versions, like you included in your questions.

    4. You are correct. However, in practice one would still get the empowerment of the particular deity before engaging in the practice, and the empowerment plants within your mindstream the seed of gaining attainments using that particular deity as your path of practice.

    Explanation:
    Due to the limitless amount of Buddhas there are, they are said to be grouped into “families”. There are actually many ways to classify them, however the three main classifications are according to:

    1. 1,000 Buddha Families
    2. 5 Buddha Families (As in the Dhyani Buddhas)
    3. 3 Buddha Families (Tathagatha, Padma and Vajra)

    More than anything, on our level, we should understand that they are classified as such because of the benefits of their practice. For example, Chenrezig belongs to the Padma family because, his practice is said to help us primarily develop compassion on the path to enlightenment. Similarly, those Buddhas who belong to the Padma family will in some way or form primarily develop compassion in our mindstream first, before other enlightened qualities.

    Therefore, one Buddha may belong to one family, even though their emanation or different form can belong to another. The Buddhas can all grant us the same benefits, but according to the form they take for us to practice the path, we either develop a certain quality first or tackle a certain delusion first while engaged in their practice. That is before we move on develop other qualities and tackle other negative delusions. I hope this explanation helps.

Question asked by William

Is the female dharmapala Shangmo Dorje Putri a member of Dorje Shugden's entourage?

    Dear William,
    As far as I know, Shangmo Dorje Putri although is an independent Dharma protector, she is under the control of the enlightened Dharma protector Kache Marpo and considered to be part of his entourage. In turn Kache Marpo is within the entourage of the Dharma protector Dorje Shugden. Therefore, she is related to but may not be a direct member of Dorje Shugden entourage.

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.

    That’s wonderful now we have H E Tsem Rinpoche’s short biography in Mongolian. More and more readers got to know of our Guru and Dorje Shugden. May Rinpoche’s teaching spread and reach out to those Monglians.

    H E Zava Damdin Rinpoche, is an erudite Mongolian Buddhist master within the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Zava Damdin Rinpoche was recognised as the reincarnation of one of the greatest Buddhist masters, yogis, healers, scholars and mahasiddhas in Mongolia. Zava Damdin Rinpoche is famed for his absolute guru devotion. In spite of the unlawful ban on the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden Zava Damdin Rinpoche remain devoted to the practice and has continued to see enormous growth around the world. Especially in Mongolia which has long held a strong historical and religious connection with Tibetan Buddhism. Back in 2016 H E Zava Damdin Rinpoche conferred Yamantaka initiation and Dorje Shugden sogtae . More than 10,000 ordained monks and lay people attended the initiation in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Looking at those pictures in this blog says all, all monks and lay people were so blessed indeed. It has proven that the practice of Dorje Shugden is very popular . They were more blessed and fortunate as after the initiation, they were given a ‘heart’ crystal and a chakra which were consecrated during the sogtae ceremony. They are given as a blessing and reminder of the initiate’s commitments to Dorje Shugden, and also as a symbol of Dorje Shugden’s promise to protect them.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing .

    .Great research by Dr Matthew William King on Dorje Shugden . It paints a thousand words of truth where more and more people understand better of Dorje Shugden. The practice of Dorje Shugden is often associated with Lamas in the Himalayan region in Tibet.
    No doubt due the efforts of Lamas in Tibet and Lamas in Bhutan the practice was promoted. Together, these enlightened masters proliferated the practice, authoring and composing texts and prayers to invoke the blessings and protection of the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden. In Mongolia, the practice’s popularity was due to Mongolia’s own lamas independently promoting and encouraging it. Mongolian lamas preserve the tradition of Dorje Shugden through active propitiation since then. The powerful Mongolian nation has indeed a long history and connection with Dorje Shugden the Powerful Protector. As expressed in the life of Venerable Choijin Lama, a State Oracle of Mongolia who took trance of Dorje Shugden among other Dharma Protectors. Interesting read of how Mongolia saved Dorje Shugden .
    Thank you Rinpoche .

    Precious thangkas of Lama Tsongkhapa’s Life Story one must not missed. As its very rare old thangkas tells us the life story of Lama Tsongkhapa. Lama Tsongkhapa was an influential Tibetan Buddhist monk, philosopher and tantric yogi. Lama Tsongkhapa was hailed as the second Buddha by contemporary Buddhist masters of his time. Famous for reviving Buddhism in Tibet and revered for elevating the Dharma to all its present glory. . Through deep study, profound practice and high attainments, Lama Tsongkhapa led a revival of pure Buddhist teachings and distilling the best teachings. His teachings became the basis for the establishment of the Gelug monastery, a monastic institution which survives to this day.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing such insightful life stories of a great Master with beautiful thangkas pictures .

    The Iceman mummy, Otzi, was discovered amidst sheets of melting ice on the border between Italy and Austria, at an altitude of 3,200 m above sea level. The 5300-year-old world’s oldest wet mummy Iceman so special as is invaluable for archaeology and as well as for medical science, genetics, biology, anthropology, and many other disciplines. The nature of his life and the circumstances of his death are the subject of much investigation. That’s interesting discovery, the clothes he wore and equipment he carried are unique.The alleged curse revolved around the deaths of several people involved with the discovery, recovery and subsequent analysis of Otzi’s body. The legend continues and these days, Otzi the Iceman rests in a refrigerated room at the South Tyrol Archaeological Museum in Bolzano, Italy. Each year thousands of visitors visited his mummified remains contained in a special cold cell at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy.

    A sacred pilgrimage site for 22 centuries, this Dambulla cave is the largest and best-preserved cave temple complex in Sri Lanka. Also known as the Golden Temple of Dambulla is a World Heritage Site in 1991. King Valagamba of Anuradhapura in the first century built a temple in thankful worship. Located in central Sri Lanka, the Dambulla Cave Temple is a living Buddhist site that is focused on a series of five cave shrines.The place is worth a visit though, just for the stunning sculptures and paintings in this historical paradise. The site is remarkable in the Buddhist world with the continuous tradition of living Buddhist ritual practices and pilgrimage for more than two millennia. That’s interesting.

A Tulku’s Journey From Tibet To Canada a book published Rinpoche autobiography, beautifully reflects his devotion to his teachers and the practices. Zasep Rinpoche points out, the practice of Dorje Shugden officially started in the Sakya school before it was embraced by the Gelugpas. Interestingly, this book also mentioned the great deeds of Dorje Shugden and how much this Dharma Protector has helped the Tibetan people as well and Tibetan Buddhism too.Zasep Rinpoche have touched the hearts of everyone he has encountered. Interesting read one must not missed as it is a true story of an incredible Tibetan Buddhist scholar and lama’s journey.

    As prophesies by Shakyamuni Buddha, Lama Tsongkhapa is an emanation of the Bodhisattva of wisdom, Manjushri. Lama Tsongkhapa was an influential Tibetan Buddhist monk, philosopher and tantric yogi, and saint who lived in Tibet. His practice will instill deep wisdom and confers great blessing upon us. His pure teachings and activities led to the formation of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. With the establishment of the Gelug monastery which survives to this day. Lama Tsongkhapa, considered one of the greatest Buddhist masters and philosophers of all time. There many benefits that arise from Lama Tsongkhapa’s practice. Merely by reciting Lama Tsongkhapa’s mantra known as Migtsema mantra. is indeed very beneficial for everyone of us. We are so fortunate to learn and practices from our Guru.

    Dorje Shugden was enthroned as a protector of the Sakya tradition centuries ago and only later widely practised in Gelugpa tradition. All these was stated by H.H Trijang Rinpoche in his work “Music Delighting the Ocean of Protectors. The throne holder of Sakya school of Buddhism, Sonam Rinchen enthroned Dorje Shugden as one of the protectors of Sakya. The practice of this Dharma Protector was later passed to his son the 31st Sakya Trizin Kunga Lodro who was believed to be the emanation of Dorje Shugden himself. Interesting facts. He even composed a Dorje Shugden prayer or Kangsol to invoke the blessings of Dorje Shugden. The prayer has since been well known and it is used to this day. The 39th Sakya throneholder Sakya Trizin Dragshul Trinley Rinchen who also practised Dorje Shugden and praised Dorje Shugden as an emanation of Avalokiteshvara. Not only one but three Sakya Trizins who relied on Dorje Shugden and they referred to him as an enlightened being.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting sharing so as more and more practitioners know the truth and only truth that Dorje Shugden is an enlightened being

Buddhism is one of the fastest growing religions in the west and have spreading further , all thanks to those highly lamas such as Gaden Tripas, Kyabje Zong Rinpoche, Lama Yeshe, Geshe Wangyal, Kensur Lobsang Tharchin, Geshe Rabten, and so forth. Many people more people are becoming more aware of Buddhism and finding it a suitable way of life and religion.

    The Legend of the Mermaid is well known and told with different forms and endings in all the oral tradition of peoples linked to the sea. It was rumored that the mermaid has a magical treasure. In folklore, a mermaid is an aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish. Mermaids appear in the folklore of many cultures worldwide. Interesting read mermaids were natural beings who, like fairies, who had magical and prophetic powers. We usually see it as in movie whether it do really exists no one have really seen it nowadays. While there is no evidence that mermaids exist outside folklore, reports of mermaid sightings continue to the present day. Mermaids have been a popular subject of art and literature in recent centuries. They depicted in operas, paintings, books and live-action films.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Trance is a state of semi-consciousness in which a person is not self-aware. The person is in a deep state of distraction by some inner turmoil or some outer mental influence. Taking trance is nothing new and not just in the east. Listening the video tells us more about trance. Interesting to know, but we should not get involve in trances as advice. Its better get involve in Dharma practice and have our mind transform.
    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

  • What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    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
