A Tale of a Bird
Friday, May 6, 2011
Mumu and Oser (my two schnauzer doggies) brought something to my bed just a few mins ago.. They put it behind my back on my bed when I was typing. I didn’t pay attention…after a short while, I turned around and saw them intensely staring at this object on my bed behind me. When I took a closer look, it was a tiny baby bird and the eyes are not even open. Upon closer look, it is alive and breathing.. Wow. Mumu and Oser didn’t hurt it as far as I can see. They just brought it to me. Where did they get the bird from? Anyway, we have put it in a box with soft tissues. Will put light on it to keep it warm and attempt to feed it. Kb as usual will lovingly take care of this little creature who ‘landed’ on my bed. I blew some mantras on it and it has some karma to just be brought to my bed. Will put some holy water on it that had mani pills dissolved into it from His Holiness Dalai Lama I have.
Looks like my Mumu and Oser tried to save it’s life maybe…they brought it to me for a reason perhaps, as there are other people in the house and they could of taken it anywhere to play with it or even kill it. But they didn’t. My two little doggies brought the bird to me directly and alive.
May it live, grow, be strong and be free.

Unbelievable what they did…. Mumu and Oser. They saved an injured tiny bird, bringing to Rinpoche. They are like one of us , can feel and knew that the bird needed help. Mumu and Oser knew who to bring to. Great Job, they did their best, sadly the injured bird passed away. But fortunate to have Rinpoche blessing. Mumu and Oser are amazing dogs had showed us an example to give care, love and be kind even they were of different species.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
The Chair
I have one chair I usually sit on to do my sadhana, watch a program, read, write, research and so on. But many times I return from my bathroom, Oser girl has taken over my chair. She gives me this look like, it’s her chair! She’s a spunky little schnauzer. The room has so much space, other sofas and places of interest, but my Oser has to hijack my chair always. I have to gently move her over and squeeze in next to her like I did last night into the same chair. We sat together for hours and she fell asleep in my chair huddled against me. Love is sharing a chair even though it’s meant for one occupant at a time. ? Tsem Rinpoche
It is incredible how smart Oser girl is. She can steal the treat away from Dharma boy and so casually. Wow. She is so smart. A must watch short video!! Tsem Rinpoche

Mumu boy was Tsem Rinpoche’s little Schnauzer. Partly because of Mumu Kechara was started and you must find out why that is. Do read more and see very cute adorable pictures: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/?p=122472

Mumu and Oser are really good dogs. I`m sad for the baby bird maybe the mother abandon it ;[
I is so nice to hear such a nice story of compassion and care from animals. hearing these kind of stories just reminds me why I am an animal lover and a vegetarian. I just reminds me that animals care and they have feelings, they are intelligent and they are like us. Since Mumu and Oser brought the poor hurt bird to basically the best place to go and so close to Rinpoche safely and kindly.
This bird is so lucky I might add because of all places to get hurt it gets hurt and is saved by the dogs of Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. Not only that, he is saved by two thoughtful, amazing and smart dogs that can bring him/her to Rinpoche who then helps him/her to get aid. This dog must have done something good for that kind of karma to come to him/her, so fortunate…
I hope that bird ended up okay and is fine now. This story is such a nice story. Thank you for sharing Rinpoche and this story is yet another animal story of compassion and how animals are just like us in mind if not better sometimes.
Amazing true story..It really unbelievable Mumu and Oser will ‘think’ save the bird instead playing or killed it.they even know how to rescue . ..what a wonderful actions , their imprints of Compassion and kindness is strong. Sweet Mumu and Oser .
Mumu and Oser done a great job ,so smart and rescued this baby bird . Feel sad when know this bird had passed away but it was lucky because had blessed by Rinpoche . May it have a good rebirth in next life , thank you Rinpoche sharing this blog .
wow, looks like mumu and osir are life lovers just like Rinpoche. it was amazing how gentle they were and how they brought the bird to Rinpoche’s bed is amazing. i hope the bird is recovered and is fine now. good mumus, you truly are special doggies.
WOW Mumu and Oser are so kind!!!!
These doggies rescued a bird. You hardly see dogs rescuing birds. This bird is sure to have a good karma to be blessed by Rinpoche and passed away near Rinpoche.
Thank you for sharing this post, Rinpoche.
This is really cool. It is another proof that animals can be more humane than humans. They saved a life on pure instinct. Why can’t humans save other on their instinct? We know what is right and wrong yet we chose not to do so!
I do hope the little birdy grows healthily 😀 Mumu and Oser are amazing dogs and people should take them as an example.

Mumu and Oser are amazing animals. They saved the birds life when it could have died out in the wild. I dont know about you, but i dont know any other dog or animal that is able to do something like that. They brought the bird to the right place, where it will be taken care of. And when it grows up, it will be released into freedom. Thank you for sharing this with us Rinpoche.
It’s very amazing of what Mumu and Oser did. They could’ve play with it or even eat it, but they didn’t. I’m so proud of what they did.
On the other hand,it’s sad that the little birdie didn’t make it. I hope that the birdie has a good rebirth.
Thank You for sharing Rinpoche.
Love, beatrix.
I wonder who did this to the poor little bird or maybe the bird fell off from a high spot. This little bird is very lucky because when its injured mumu and oser found it lying down outside then they picked up the bird gently and bring it to Rinpoche. I hope the bird is okay
In the case of these doggies their nurture took over. Schnauzers are by nature hunters of small animals in fact they are also called “Vermin Dog’ . Mini Schnauzers are just smaller versions of schnauzers.
what happened to the bird now?
Dear Rinpoche!
Thats a very wonderful story!
It concerns me. Your compassion inspired your environment!
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing dear Rinpoche. 2 little Mumus are real heroes, as most of the doggies will just tear the baby bird apart but they have rescued the baby bird.Its touching!! As i had seen 2 labradors teared a little chick apart and really heart broken.
Proud of Mumu And Oser, and may the baby bird has a good rebirth.
Mumu and Oser definitely put alot of us to shame, look at how compassionate they are towards the little bird and brought to Rinpoche, and they know who to look for.
Thank you for sharing this touching story, Rinpoche. Just one word to the mumus: AMAZING!
Dearest Rinpoche
Thank for the wonderful story that put many humans to shame. As many would not be bothered and just think that this creatures are to insignificant and would let them die. Some parents would even reprimand their chiildren if they would brought it home. These doggies are really way above humans. Thank you.
oh no, this is so sad. may the little bird have a good rebirth. but it is a blessing to the little bird, because if not for the hero and heroine-Mumu and Oser, the little guy would have been in different situation, but it was save by no other than Mumu and Oser and taken to Rinpoche caring. Hope the little bird next rebirth will be able to help more sentient beings. OM MANI PADME HUNG. TAYATHA OM BEKANZE BEKANZE MAHA BEKANZE BEKANZE RANDZA SAMUGATHE SOHA.
Sorry to inform everyone little bird passed away today.She was fine at night but in morning she was gone. Thanks to mumu and oser who brought her to Rinpoche. Rinpoche did prayer and blassed her. I have cut her nail to put into the buddha statue for her good rebirth.
I like to hear stories on lives are being saved. And in this case, it is even more pleasing as the heros are Mumu and Oser. Mumu and Oser have definitely been observing what Rinpoche has been doing all this while, saving lives and taking care of animals in the ladrang. Very clever indeed. Glad to hear the little bird is drinking and eating well under the care of KB, Rinpoche’s attendant. Thank you KB for always taking care of those who can’t even express their gratitude.
Clever Mumu and Oser, you are so adorable! Mumu and Oser have been brought up by Rinpoche. Surely they have the same instinct as their owner – caring, compassionate and loving.
O, how absolutely sweet and wonderful!!
Wow, Mumu and Oser have much compassion and we as humans must follow how they practice awareness and compassion. They were aware of where the baby bird was and did not harm or killed the baby bird but with gentle care brought it to Rinpoche. Their instinct tell them that Rinpoche can save the baby bird. They are so smart!
May the baby bird with Rinpoche’s blessings grow big and strong.
Mumu and Oser must have learned from Rinpoche’s example of love and care for all beings around him. That’s why following a qualified Spiritual Guide will definitely sow virtuous seeds in the students’ mind streams.
LITTLE BIRD IS CUTE. SHE IS SLEPPING NOW. AMAZING HOW MUNU AND OSER BROUGHT BABAY BIRD INTO RINPOCHE’S BED WITHOUT HARMING. MUMU IS NATURALY VERY GENTEL AND VERY SOFT.TODAY WE GONA SAFE LITTLE BIRDS LIFE. I AM TAKING CARE BABY BIRD AND UPDATE EVERYBODY ABOUT HER HEALTH.I WISH SHE GETS HEALTHY AND GROW.
TODAY 6/5/2011
TIME- 5PM I FED HER SOME CAT FOOD. SHE IS VERY LITTLE CAN NOT EAT BIRD FOOD NOW SO I NEED TO FEED HER EVERY HOUR A LITTLE AND CHANT MADICINE BUDDHA MANTRA ON HER. BABY GANA GROW VERY FAST.
wow. my mind is blown away yet again.
In the texts, it is said that only benefit can occur from just being close to the Guru. Seems that Rinpoche’s compassion has influenced the mindstreams of Mumu and Ozer! It’s exactly like what the texts say! i can only imagine the immense benefit and transformation on people close to Rinpoche..
I am happy to report that the little sparrow rescued by Mumu and Oser are doing well. KB has been patiently feeding it with a little syringe… warmed it up gently with a warm tungsten lamp above the card box home for a little while to get the feathers dry.
It is now on its feet and has its eyes open. Very cute! I am sure it is chirping “mummy” to KB at the moment… hehehe
Much love from the Haven of miracles!
There will be more updates via KB’s facebook which he will be sharing with Rinpoche and everyone. If you are not his friend, best ‘befriend’ him now for more updates!!!!
Mimi and Oser, I am truly humbled by your action of compassion and wisdom. I am still far down the spiritual ladder and lacks merits to be physically near my Guru Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. But I will persist and every day, I will learn and practice the dharma and certainly one day, I will collect enough merits to be near Rinpoche, and to see you again Mumu and to meet you Oser <3 <3
ahh…reading this made my day! thank you Rinpoche for sharing this. I’m so proud of mumu and oser in all sense of the word!
Animals can help us to be better human beings. As Rinpoche has said, “What makes us great human beings is not how much we can hurt others, but how much we can help others. What makes us good humans, is not how we abuse animals, but how much we allow them to live and be happy freely. Heal yourself by healing others.” That is exactly what mumu and oser might have learnt from Rinpoche and are now putting it into practice through its action. As Rinpoche taught, “Everyone including ourselves need kindness – find a cause, that benefits others and go all the way. It be hard work, but do not stop, go all the way – just manifest it!” Thank you mumu and oser for showing us the way, and may your compassionate virtuous action helps you both to karmically achieve a good human rebirth in your next life.
Wow! Cute Mumu and sweet Oser is so wonderful and compassion….There can treat the baby bird so well and brough the baby bird to Rinpoche…….But some human beings still can not do this? Much prayer may the little bird grow and strong:-)))
Thank you for sharing Rinpoche – what a wonderful story! Such gentle cute little mumus they both are. It’s very interesting to see as they’re both usually very active, very playful and tumble around each other a lot, very physical. And yet they know when to be gentle and soft and are so sensitive to other beings. I remember hearing that mumu was very gentle towards Oser when she first came and was much, much tinier than him.
Interesting that animals are so much more alert and sensitive to other beings than humans often are… There are so many stories like this of the care that animals spontaneously demonstrate. We have much to learn from them.
mumu and oser are definitely 2 amazing beings. they can be role model to alot of people, which shows even pet having caring instinct to other sentient being. it shows that mumu and oser is definitely the ambassador of peace and love to the world,i personally think mumu and oser and the little birdie could be a motivation or probably a symbol of compassion and peace to Kechara, especially for KWPC? that is my humble opinion, because i think this story could touch millions of soul, and spread world peace, and compassion of one to all sentient being. 🙂
Hehe… Cute! Maybe they used to see how Rinpoche treat all the animals. As they are sensitive and clever, they will follow what we are doing. Glad to see they brought the bird to Rinpoche for blessing and rescue this baby bird. Animals is not stupid or lower beings, if we treat and train them well, they can be a good beings too.
What an amazing duo! Kudos to our heroes Mumu and his lady partner Oser! They have brought light to so many by their presence and now have saved a life too. I have just shown Jutika and Pavara this blog and they are intrigued by it.
Rinpoche
It is such a nice story. I am amazed that Mumu and Oser have such compassion. When I just got my dog, Gizmo Om Mani Peme Hung, he has the tendencies to kill ants and little insects. I tried to stop him from doing that whenever I catch him. I put him on a vegetarian diet, and recently, at least to my knowledge, I did not see Gizmo chasing ants or some other poor insects anymore. I wish he will grow to be compassionate like Mumu and Oser.
Much love
Valentina
It is amazing how these dogs have very kind heart and wanted to save the bird. The fact that they brought the bird to Rinpoche and kept staring at it intensely means they are trying to draw Rinpoche’s attention to the bird (as they can’t talk? hehe) and hope it will be safe and saved.
Shame that many (humans) out there do not treasure lives and we slaughter, butcher, kill, torture and eat animals because we are selfish!
My Mumu and Oser are very special. They fought all instincts to eat, play or hide the bird. I am so proud of them. I gave them each a healthy snack as a reward. I love them so much. We will take care of the bird and KB will update re the progress of the little bird. We want it to live, if it cannot, at least to die in comfort and without fear and pain. Just now, it was able to drink water. It’s little eyes are still closed. How wonderful to nurture this being and blow mantras on it daily. I feel for it so much.. Tsem Rinpoche
Mumu and Oser are two amazing dogs! They have a mind to save the liitle bird and knows that it is in a distress situation. My prayers to little bird on speedy recovery, and may you fly again to your freedom.
Mumu and Oser put a lot of people (including me!!) to shame! May this be a reminder for all of us, that all sentient beings are equal and we should love and care for them, regardless of their forms and species..
Oh wow Rinpoche,
Mumu and Oser so clever, sweet and kind! And they know just exactly who to bring it to… May little birdy grow healthy and well!
Wow, if Mumu and Oser can save a life, and supposedly they run only on instinct…why can’t we humans do the same, when we have the capacity to make decisions by weighing up pros and cons, and right and wrong?
