Question asked by Ganesh

Dear Pastors,

Thank You for replying to my previous question. As per your suggestion, I decided to learn Lam-Rim. Today, I read about the 8 freedoms. Under this hell, hungry ghost, animal and god realm is mentioned. Why something like "freedom from being born as an asura” is not mentioned ? What is the reason behind this? Also, does a Buddha appear in all realms to provide teachings ? (for example, does a Buddha appear in asura or god realm to provide teachings, like how they do in human world?). Thank You for the support !!

    Dear Ganesh,

    You are right that it is not mentioned as one of the eight freedoms. In fact being born in any of the six realms has its faults, however when born in the human realm we have less of these faults, making it easier to be able to practice the Dharma. Therefore these factors are known as freedoms.

    In regards to the Asura realm, it is covered later in the Lam Rim, under the explanation of the sufferings of the higher realms. It was generally known that being born in the Asura realm meant your main afflictions was intense jealousy, perhaps then that is why it was not included in the list.

    In regards to Buddhas appearing in other realms to provide teachings and bestow blessings, of course this is possible. Buddha Shakyamuni was known to have travelled to the god realms to teach his mother, who had been born there as god. Generally we have a tendency to limit activities of the enlightened beings in our minds due to our own limited perceptions. This is not the case. Buddhas can manifest as anything, even inanimate objects in order to benefit sentient beings, therefore of course they can appear in other realms. I hope this helps.

Question asked by Pseudónimo gracias

Dear Pastors:
I did not get what I wanted despite I did a big effort. However I have peace and I accept what It is coming with calm. My question is: how to change the direction of my life? Is it better to fight for my Dreams or to accept and enjoy reality?. Destination or freedom to choose?
Thank you very much

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Pseudonimo Gracias,

    To change the direction of our lives, we need to make a consistent effort, and freedom to choose what happens to us. The reason is, if we just go with the flow, then all we are doing is allowing our karma to ripen and manifest. Depending on what karma opens up, this can be either good or bad. Therefore we need to make a concerted effort to achieve what we want to achieve. This coupled with the purification of negative karma and the accumulation of merit, can help. This is because we purify the negative karma that causes obstacles to achieving what we want and merit creates the causes to have all we need in life to achieve our goals. Therefore it is better to choose to make a conscious effort to achieve what we want rather than go with the flow.

Question asked by Jason

Can u please talk about Manjushri Nagarakshasa 降龙罗刹文殊明王 where does it come from …. What Buddha taught it . Is it a terma lineage , which scripture is it from.

Question asked by Ganesh

Dear Rinpoche,

Last week I came to know about the Life of Milarepa and watched 3 of your videos on youtube. Other than that I do not know much about Tibetan Buddhism. Yesterday, I had a dream in which I saw H.H Dalai Lama (the current one), sitting on a throne and giving a lecture to a group of people sitting on the floor (I was one among them). There is a girl sitting near me and she is interested in me. Dalai Lama notices this and asks the girl to sit very far away from me. (In real life, I am a spiritual person but also self indulgent and promiscuous.) Then, Dalai Lama asks me to stand up with my legs wide and take the pose of some female deity, one of my hand is up and other hand faces down. Now, everyone in the room begins to pray for me and on seeing this I feel the compassion generated by others towards me and realize that I have been selfish till now.

Then, I change into a red coloured fierce female diety. Then, Dalai Lama points out to a guy in the group and tells that my life is in his hands from now on. Then, I look at that guy and literally at his palms. There ends the dream.

Now, my questions are: does the dream indicate that I will meet a guru soon? And what about the red diety? (Today, I searched on google and found about vajrayogini ). So, should I pray to her ? If yes, how to pray? What spiritual practices should I regularly follow to be steady on the path of dharma ? (Recently, I have realized that desires are endless and it is impossible to satisfy all of them, and walking on the path of dharma is the only way out. So kindly help this newbie. Please excuse me for the length of this query. Thank You !!

    Dear Ganesh,

    Your dream is very interesting. If you feel a close connection to Vajrayogini, you can read more about her on the category here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/category/vajra-yogini. Vajrayogini’s practice is one of the Highest Yoga Tantra practices, therefore requires initiation and training from a guru who holds the appropriate lineage, before you yourself can engage in the practice. That being said, His Eminence 25th Tsem Rinpoche has given some prayers that can be recited by those who have not received the initiation in order to create a strong connection with her. This connection creates the causes to receive her initiation and achieve the results of her practice in the future. One such prayer is the Tea Offering to Vajrayogini: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/tea-offering-to-vajrayogini-for-the-1st-time.html. As for meeting a qualified guru, you should make the effort yourself to look. After finding a guru, you need to examine his/her works, lineage and ability to teach clearly. Arriving at a decision, you should request to become a student and then go all the way with your teacher’s advice.

    To create a strong and firm daily dharma practice, I would suggest engaging in the daily practices of Lama Tsongkhapa’s Guru yoga and Dorje Shugden’s daily practice. This is available to order at Vajrasecrets: http://www.vajrasecrets.com/diamond-path. Alternatively if you are in Malaysia, you can purchase them at any of our Kechara Paradise outlets. You should also try and get a copy of the Lam Rim text ‘Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand.’ This text is fundamental in understanding how and what to practice to progress on your spiritual path to enlightenment. I hope this help, please feel free to ask more questions.

Question asked by sam

What happens when we don't recite mantras or pray to Buddha on a daily basis ? Is he still looking after us even when we don't pray or only when we pray and recite mantras we invoke his blessing . I am confused .

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Sam

    You have asked a very good interesting question. From the side of the Buddhas, they have achieved enlightened compassion, therefore they always seek to benefit us and look after us. However from our side, we need to create the causes to achieve their help, assistance, blessing and guidance.

    The reason why it can be hard for the Buddhas to help is because of our heavy negative karma. This karma binds us further to samsara or cyclic existence. When we purify our negative karma, the Buddhas are able to assist and bless us even more than they do at the moment.

    Part of this purification is based on daily prayers and mantras. Every day we perform many actions, and most of the time these can create negative karma. On a daily basis this negative karma can multiply. Therefore daily prayers and mantras is a method to stop the negative karma we may have committed to stop multiplying and to purify already existing karma.

    In essence, when we do not engage in mantras and prayers daily, we ourselves are not creating the causes for the Buddhas to help and look after us. I hope this helps.

Question asked by Tendin

If one practices dharma protector practice and for some reason a another person uses black magic to harm u… And that person gets the full results of his own magic do we as thepractioners of dharma get bad karma because the protected practice reflected the black magic

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Tendin,

    You are right to say that some Dharma protectors are said to reflect or deflect black magic cast against practitioners. Black magic is usually cast using the aid of spirits. Since the spirit was invoked to create harm but could not as the Dharma protector blocked the spirit, it can no longer fulfill its purpose. The spirit then goes back to the magician to fulfill its aim of harming, as it has nowhere else to go. The spirit then affects the magician or those close to the magician.

    If the magic was cast using elemental energies, these energies have to be dispersed somehow. As they cannot affect the intended practitioner, they are dispersed back against the magician. Therefore there is no bad karma involved from the side of the one protected by the Dharma protector. The negative karma is actually created from the side of the magician, who cast the magic with a bad intention.

    Dear Losang,

    Thank you for your question. Unfortunately His Eminence 25th Tsem Rinpoche has not shared this particular practice with any of the current pastors as of yet. Therefore I am unable to give you any information or the mantra for the great Dharma protector Kakamukha Mahakala. Perhaps you can request your lama if he knows other teachers who may be able to give you the information you require.

Question asked by Jadon

How does on gain siddhi for green Tara

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Jadon,

    To gain any attainments from the practice of Green Tara, or any other deity in fact, you need to have full faith and conviction in the deity and that the deity is in fact one with your meditational teacher. Together with this you follow the prayers to Green Tara, or the sadhana of Green Tara if you have received it from your guru. The easiest way to attain siddhis is to concentrate on the mantra, as the focus of meditation. You concentrate on the sound of the mantra single-pointedly. This in itself is a very powerful meditation, which can lead to attainments arising.

Question asked by Xx

dear pastors,

Is there a reason why we are born in a family that practices a certain religion. For eg if I am born in a Family that practices Buddhism is there a purpose behind it?

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Xx,

    All the situations we find ourselves in is due to karma created from previous lives or this life. Therefore one of the major karmas that affects us in this life is the family we were born into, the cause of this would have been created in previous lives. A karma would have opened at the time of death, which would propel us to take rebirth where we are now. Part and parcel of this would be being born into a family that practices a certain religion. For example, there are some Buddhist prayers that mention wanting to be born again in a Buddhist family or in an area where there is Buddhism so that you can continue with your current practices in your future life. I hope this helps.

Question asked by Shawn

I would like to ask a question which is more of an issue I've been facing in my life. I'm sure it's a question a lot of people may have, and I hope you can help me, and many others by answering this.
For the past many years since I've hit puberty, I haven't been able to find a relationship or have sex with a woman. It's very weird to me simply because I do not seem to have any qualities in me which would normally be considered as "unattractive" – this is both, as far as personality and looks are concerned.
I'm almost 26 years old now, and it's a bit shameful for me to even say this, but the fact is that I'm a virgin. I've been struggling with this for a very long time now, and it has affected a lot of things in my life including my dharma practice. I am a very passionate dharma practitioner and a creative person, but I'm unable to express myself fully due to being so much repressed.
I would like to know a few things and gain some insight into my problem:
1) Is my lack, or no success in finding a relationship due to a bad karma in a past life? I mean, is there a possibility of sexual misconduct in a past life due to which I am suffering so much?
2) Is there a way for me to cut or destroy the negative karma?
3) Also, how can I carry the mindset of benefiting all sentient beings, when there's a desire in me which is almost uncontrollable. For example say I have sex with a woman in future. How am I supposed to carry the desire to "benefit" that woman (as a fellow sentient being) along with the desire for sexual satisfaction for myself. (This is the last, but a very important question, so I'm expecting an answer to this one, if not the above two)

As I'm writing this, I have tears rolling down my eyes simply because I feel there's so much potential inside of me that I just cannot express due to my sexual repression. I want a Buddhist perspective on this problem simply because I'm tired of all the advice I've read and heard from the Internet. Your answer would mean a lot, and this is my last resort probably, simply because if a Buddhist cannot answer this, then probably nobody can answer this.
Your answer to this, will not only help me overcome this particular issue, but it will also be helpful in every other aspect of my life including my career.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Shawn,

    As for the 1st part of your question, everything that happens to us is the result of karma from previous lives, from where we are born and the situation we are put in. Everyone has both good karma and bad karma, it depends on the causes and conditions for different karma to open and manifest. However, the point of Buddhist practice is to break through this karma, changing our life situations through our own effort and spiritual practice.

    For the 2nd part, yes there are many ways to cut or destroy negative karma. These include what are called purification practices, which basically purify negative karma and cut them off in a controlled manner. Most Buddhist practice, both deity practices and transformational practices such as Lojong or mind training, necessarily involve the purification of negative karma and the accumulation of merit, necessary for our spiritual journey towards enlightenment.

    As for the 3rd and most important part of your question, you seem to know the answer already. The desire for a partner is exactly that, a desire. From a Buddhist perspective desire is based on the ego. If we want to benefit all sentient beings, then we have to lessen the ego as it stops us from equalising all beings so that we can benefit them. But please remember that we have to start off slowly to benefit others, it is a very gradual process and we need to train ourselves steadily but surely that takes time. It is something we work on slowly, it cannot be achieved instantly.

    I am very sorry to hear that this has affected you in your life so much, may I suggest that you engage strongly in the practice of the Guru Yoga of Lama Tsongkhapa. This practice is very well known for calming the mind troubled by very heavy emotional turmoil. This will help you tremendously. Please do not hesitate to ask more questions if you need more information.

Question asked by Lime aller

What should i wear for controling relationship with rooster. We are not compatible. Is there any accesories i wear to block the bad luck for each other

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Lime aller,

    Astrological conditions can be changed. They are not fixed. There are many practices that can help you in this situation.

    The first is practice of Black Manjushri. Commonly known as a strong practice against negative forces and for healing. This practice is also very effective at removing the effects of negative astrological conditions. You can engage in this practice if you are worried about negative astrological conditions. The practice is available here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/prayers-and-sadhanas/black-manjushri.html

    The second practice is that of Dorje Shugden. This practice removes obstacles and any problems you may face in life. The third practice is of Green Tara. Tara is fantastic for creating harmony between people. You can engage in these practices yourself, otherwise you can order prayers to be performed here for Green Tara: http://www.vajrasecrets.com/tara-puja-fund-for-swift-assistance and here for Dorje Shugden: http://www.vajrasecrets.com/dorje-shugden-wishfulfilling-puja-fund

    You can also wear a Tara chakra, available here: http://www.vajrasecrets.com/green-tara-chakra. Though it doesn’t necessarily combat the “bad” astrological conditions, it can increase the energies of harmony around you.

Question asked by Blee

Is there any difference to making or not making dedications after chanting mantras?

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Blee,

    Yes there is a difference. When we engage in virtuous activity we generate merit. When this merit is dedicated it will never run out. For example when we do something good, we collect good karma. This karma can open up in the future and is used up. Merit however is something collected from the good motivation to benefit others and most importantly, dedicated towards enlightenment. Once dedicated merit can never be used up, and we keep benefiting from it again and again all the way until we reach enlightenment. When we chant mantras, this is a very virtuous activity as mantras are the energy of the Buddhas in the form of sound. Therefore chanting mantras generates a lot of merit that we should always seal with dedication. Thereby we will always benefit from them, now and in future rebirths.

Question asked by jason

is the lion faced dakini a manifestation of green tara or vajrayogini…. i have heard both

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Jason,

    Sengdongma, the lion-faced dakini is said to be the manifestation of Vajrayogini because she is actually part of Vajrayogini/Heruka’s entourage. She is also Green Tara. It is not uncommon for Buddhas to manifest as part of the entourage of another Buddha in a different form that will benefit practitioners. For example, in this case Green Tara has emanated as Sengdongma.

Question asked by Lunezia

Hello,
I'm from Italy and I am christian. I begin to practice Dorje Shugden and I'm very happy! Is it right? Or is it a mad idea?

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Lunezia,

    I can only answer this question from a Buddhist viewpoint, as I do not know how this would be viewed from a Christian standpoint. From a Buddhist perspective, everyone can practice Dorje Shugden, because Dorje Shugden is a fully enlightened being. As such Dorje Shugden does everything out of compassion. Dorje Shugden will never want to harm or even have the capacity to harm because he is enlightened. This is the same for all Buddhas. Therefore, regardless of our belief systems, if we sincerely practice Dorje Shugden, then there will only be benefit and nothing else. From a Buddhist viewpoint there is nothing wrong with this, and it is certainly not a mad idea.

Question asked by Xavier

Hello, I'm from France. I recite the White Manjushri daily for some time during the day. I feel very happy while reciting, and my thoughts become clearer but One night I feel as I was sucked from the outside. I thought maybe it was a possession. It make me stop reciting the mantra even if I feel very attracted to White Manjushri in a first place. Do you think I should continue ? Is it possible to recite it with the visualization only ? I have difficulty to do the full sadhhana.

Thanks. regards.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Xavier,

    From what you have described, I suggest you engage in the practice of Dorje Shugden after you complete your daily sadhana of White Manjushri. As a Dharma protector, Dorje Shugden has the ability to remove obstacles created by our karma. In fact Dorje Shugden is an emanation of Manjushri, so in essence you will be propitiating the same being, only in a different form, for a different reason.

    However you have mentioned that you do not have enough time engaging in the full sadhana every day. In this case you can simply recite the mantra of Dorje Shugden or even have a Dorje Shugden puja sponsored for yourself to clear any obstacles. You can have a puja sponsored via http://www.vajrasecrets.com/dorje-shugden-puja , if you so wish. If this feeling continues then I would suggest that you yourself continue the practice of Dorje Shugden.

    I believe that you should continue with the practice of White Manjushri, as the Buddhas can only help us, they cannot harm us. This practice will be very good for you since you seem to have an affinity with it. Of course, you can recite the mantra with just the visualisation if you cannot do the entire sadhana. There is no issue with this as long as you have not been told to engage in the entire practice, or received the White Manjushri initiation, in which case there would be a mandatory practice. Any prayers you do will only be beneficial for you, even if you can only do the visualisation and the mantra. However, when you do have the time, you should try to engage in the entire sadhana as it will be more complete and beneficial. I hope this helps, may you receive White Manjushri’s blessings.

Question asked by dolker

Hi pastors,
I have a question. I am a tibetan buddhist girl. In my altar i have buddha statues and Bodhisattva images along with hindu gods statues and hindu guru image. Is that going to be a problem? I heard if you put a lot of different kind of images and altars then the power(shakti) of the different god mix which is very bad for the person. And now I am worried. Could you please help me with this question. It has been troubling me a lot. What should i do?

Thank you so much for your blog. I love reading all the articles and the questions and answers here. I have learned a lot. Thank you very much

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Dolker,

    As fully enlightened beings, Buddhas do not have the wish or even the ability to create any harm for sentient beings. They act from pure compassion to benefit others. Therefore to have their various images on the same altar will never create an issue along the same lines you have mentioned.

    Traditionally, however images of gods or other deities are not kept on the same altar as the Buddhas. Those who have them, keep them on a separate altar if they have enough space. That beings said, if they are the higher Hindu gods, there shouldn’t be a problem keeping them on the same altar if you want. It is entirely up to you. There will not be an issue of shaktis mixing.

Question asked by Lee

Just want to ask a few questions:

1. Went to view Buddha's relics and suddenly why is it tears came out of my eyes uncontrol?Are the relics alive to bring tears to my eyes?

2. When I make food contributions to a row of Burma monks and nuns a funny feeling just overcame my whole body?

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Lee,

    In regards to your first question, some people have emotional feelings or physical reactions, such a crying or feeling happy when they are around holy objects. Relics are very powerful objects as they are from the body of the Buddhas or other holy beings. The Buddhas and holy beings leave behind relics as a source of blessings for their students and others. Since the Buddha and holy beings practiced deeply during their lifetime, their bodies became holy themselves. So relics do have very powerful energies, which effects people in only beneficial ways. Crying at the sight of relics is a physical reaction to the energies of the relics but you shouldn’t think too much about it. Simply be mindful that you are having an experience and then let it go. Viewing and making offerings to the relics is much more important as they remind us to practice the Dharma more strongly.

    As for the second question, it is along the same lines. You shouldn’t get too caught up in physical feelings. Instead you should concentrate on the food offerings you are making to the Sangha, concentrate on the fact that you are sustain those who practice the Dharma, that you are generating strong merits, and make very strong dedications after doing so.

Question asked by Jason

recently i was doing calm abiding meditation and i noticed that the sensations during the meditation were, to put it in cruder terms, literally orgasmic or orgasm like but at the same time not like an orgasm . Although it was not like normal orgasm it was the entire body and a sense of peace, calm and "orgasm" like energy ( sorry i don't know who to describe this sensation) remained through out the meditation. The visualization i used was the merit field… What is happening… am i going crazy or possessed

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Jason,

    From what you have written, no you are not going crazy or being possessed. When you progress in regular meditation many feelings both emotional and physical arise to help you deal with them. In this case when you mediated, these physical feelings arose. There are many ways to counter these feelings while meditating and you shouldn’t get caught up in these feelings or fixate on them. Instead you should bring your attention back to the focus of your meditation, in this case it should be the visualisation of the merit field.

    In order to deepen your practice, you should learn up from the meditation section of Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand by Pabongka Rinpoche. If you wish to learn even further then you can learn from the Calm Abiding section from Lama Tsongkhapa’s Lam Rim Chenmo. Both presentations are indispensable in guiding students in meditation practice. If you have a spiritual teacher (guru) I would strongly encourage you to seek more advice from this person. There is nothing more valuable than the experiential knowledge of a guru to guide you in this. Even though it may seem that the texts are the only guide you need as they are so complete and all-encompassing, a guru will be able to guide you more aptly.

    If you are still worried about going crazy, being possessed or even general obstacles in your practice, you should make prayers to a Dharma Protector on a regular basis to dispel obstacles and great conducive practice for you practice. This will be of tremendous benefit. If you have a guru you should request your guru for prayers to propitiate a Dharma Protector.

    If you do not have a guru, I may suggest, the daily practices of Lama Tsongkhapa’s Guru Yoga and Dorje Shugden’s prayers can be invited from any of the Kechara Paradise outlets in Malaysia or online via Vajra Secrets, here is the link: http://www.vajrasecrets.com/diamond-path. This should help you meditations. I pray that your meditations are successful.

Question asked by Lee

Can I buy a consecrate pendant from Vajrasecrets? What's the difference between blessed and consecrate?

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Lee,

    Yes, Vajrasecrets offers blessed pendants. These pendants have been blessed by the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden in trance of the Panglung Oracle. You can search the Vajrasecrets website to find the pendants that have the word “blessed” in the title.

    There is no difference between the pendants being blessed and consecrated. They mean thing the same but are just two separate words in English. As used in Buddhism, it means that both contain the enlightened energies of the Buddhas.

    If you would like any other pendant from vajrasecrets that you would like blessed, please write a note to the administrators during the order to have the pastors bless it for you.

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.

    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.

    H H the Dalai Lama is considered as the incarnation of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, therefore is a highly realized and attained being. Dalai Lama has been worshipping Dorje Shugden for decades, consulted his oracles, and even composed prayers for Dorje Shugden. Until 1966 suddenly, Dalai Lama imposed the ban on Dorje Shugden , saying Dorje Shugden is not good. Many incarnation have been returning again and again. Dorje Shugden’s practice does not send us to the three lower realms. Prayers composed by H.H the 14th Dalai Lama at Dungkar Monastery of Domo Geshe Rinpoche tells all and had proven it. Dalai Lama can not be wrong for some one who has the clairvoyance to see whether Dorje Shugden is good or evil. Even the 5th Dalai Lama composed prayers, and also made a statue of Dorje Shugden.
    Reading this over and over as it good to know and understand better. May more people get to read this truth.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Since those days in school , I have heard of these Bermuda Triangle. Will get exicted hearing interesting stories of the mysteries of these area. The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is a region between Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico in the North Atlantic Ocean. Over the past several centuries, more than 50 ships and 20 planes have disappeared in the area. Recording to some researchers that a parallel universe exists in the Bermuda Triangle region, causing a time or space warp that sucks the objects around it into a parallel universe. Interesting. The Bermuda Triangle, known for its mysterious disappearances. In recent years there have been several incidents in the Bermuda Triangle that have captured media attention. Interesting,ships and airplanes that seemed to have disappeared without a trace which has earned it the name ‘Devil’s Triangle. Since then nothing extraordinary has happened in the last 60 years. Some had mentioned that there are large deep ocean craters on the sea floor of the Bermuda Triangle. Could it be possible no one knows but there’s also others theory as well. Scientists still cannot solved these mysteries disappearance, were there the existing of aliens or something else.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Cindy Hew for this great sharing.

    Visiting Dorje Shugden’s grotto in Kechara Forest Retreat is a must see place . A beautiful hugh statue of Dorje Shugden was installed ,Rinpoche also placed hundreds of Holy mantra stones, around Dorje Shugden grotto, for everyone to do circumambulation around Dorje Shugden. So as visitors could able to do candles offerings as well. We Malaysians are so fortunate to learn about Dorje Shugden if not beacause of Tsem Rinpoche. Dorje Shugden has tremendous power to help us helps us in whatever way we need in our resources and in our spiritual journey. He is an emanation of an enlightened being and that he manifested in a worldly form. As an emanation of Manjushri, Dorje Shugden has the ability to open our minds to universal wisdom.There’s so many benefits when we rely on Dorje Shugden sincerely. A wish-fulfilling Shrine that will help everyone regardless of race and religion.
    Thank you Rinpoche .

    Interesting blog .Chinese folklore features a rich variety of ghosts, monsters, and other supernatural creatures. According to traditional beliefs a ghost is the spirit form of a person who has died. Ghosts are typically malevolent and will cause harm to the living if provoked. Many Chinese folk beliefs about ghosts have been adopted into the mythologies. But centuries of physics research have found nothing like this exists, which is why physicists say ghosts can’t exist. And so far, there is no proof that any part of a person can continue on after death. Ghosts or spirits do exist in this world. There’s several myths still widely circulated even there’s a decrease in rituals and rites. Chinese communities all over the world use a variety of methods to protect themselves from ghosts, or whatever. Spirits and ghost are everywhere even day time its only we can’t see. As long as they are not disturbed ,its alright. Doing prayers and dedicated to them is the best choice. In Buddhism when we takes refuge in the Buddha, practises the Dharma and supports the Sangha, we are protected from many different types of spirit. Tibetan Buddhism is one of the most powerful to counter all forms of ghostly and spirit disturbances.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting blog.

    Reading this post again regarding this huge Buddha statue in Thimpu, Bhutan. Construction began in 2006, as in the post, it was completed only in 2015. The completed work is one of the largest Buddha Statue in the world located in the southern mountains of Bhutan. At 177 feet (54 m) this gigantic Shakyamuni Buddha statue houses over one hundred thousand smaller Buddha statues which are made of bronze and gilded in gold. It has become a must-visit tourist destination in Thimphu Valley, Bhutan. Having a Huge Buddha Statue has benefited thousands of people just looking at it . Merely by looking is a blessing. Would love to visit this stunning Buddha statue to see for myself .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Yading, Daocheng County is a county of western Sichuan Province, China. A visit to Daocheng Yading is worth visit. As it has the very beautiful lakes Milk Lake, Pearl Lake and Wuse Lake as well as the three holy mountains named Chenrezig, Jampayang and Chenadorje. Having a population of about 33 thousands where many of them are many Dorje Shugden lamas, geshes and Dorje Shugden practitioners in Yading. H.E. Gyara Rinpoche a reincarnation of a great master in the Drikung Kagyu lineage has been visiting different villages in Yading, giving and sharing Dharma teachings to thousands people there. Gyara Rinpoche an incumbent of Shar Gaden Monastery, India and had studied under H.E. Kyabje Dagom Rinpoche and many other erudite lamas. An erudite scholar, Gyara Rinpoche received many teachings, instructions, initiations, commentaries and empowerments of both Sutra and Tantra .As in the post Gyara Rinpoche gave Dorje Shugden’s life entrustment initiation to thousands monks and lay people in Yangting Dechen Ling Monastery. Other than the Dorje Shugden sogtae, Gyara Rinpoche also gave Lamrim teachings and Guhyasamaja initiation in Yangding Monastery. Looking at the people in those pictures tells all. Apart of that Gyara Rinpoche also gave a logical explanation of the Dorje Shugden controversy and the unlawful ban imposed by the CTA, to create awareness of the truth behind the Dorje Shugden controversy.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing of a great Lama.

    It was H E Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche that first recognised our Guru Kyabje Tsem Rinpoche as a tulku back in 1987. Lama Gangchen Tulku Rinpoche was an important Tibetan Italian lama of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. He was the last generation of lamas from the ‘old Tibet’. At a young age he was recognised as the reincarnation of the lama healer Kachen Sapen. He was a direct disciple of the greatest lamas of the Gelugpa school of the twentieth century, such as Kyabje Trijang Dorje Chang, Kyabje Zong Rinpoche, who taught him Tibetan medicine, healing methods and astrology. He worked tirelessly as a spiritual teacher and healer. He travelled tremendously throughout India, Nepal, Sikkim, Europe and finally settled in Italy. Lama Gangchen has travelled extensively ,providing healing and gave teachings worldwide. He has also led many pilgrimages to some of the most important holy places of different religious and spiritual denominations in the world. He founded numerous centres all over the world. Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche has worked tirelessly for many decades to promote world peace and had received many awards and recognitions for his work. Lama Gangchen will remain in the hearts of all those who met him as a teacher of great love and profound wisdom.
    Years back our Guru Kyabje Tsem Rinpoche did sent students to Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche ’s centre in Albagnano, Italy with many offerings and updating projects of Kechara as well.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great 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
