3 Street Dogs. An abandoned new born baby girl

Kolkata 23rd & 24th May 1996

Photograph above: Three street dogs protecting a new-born baby abandoned in Kolkata on the evening of 23rd May, 1996. Below is an excerpt of a news report filed by Pinaki Mujumdar on the 25th May, 1996 edition of a Bengali daily, named ‘Aajkaal’ which carried the above hear-rendering photograph by Tapan Mukherjee.

This story was carried on the front page of this newspaper and did end up demonstrating the responsible ‘humane’ action of these three street dogs towards a human baby.

This is one of the best examples of sensitive journalism that was accompanied by sharp news sense.

A bright new born baby girl by the side of the dustbin. Sitting around her are three street mongrels. The same unchanging picture throughout the night. This unbelievable and inconceivable incident is not a scene from a screenplay. Nor is it the background to a story causing a sensation throughout the world. It is real-as unalloyedly real as light and air, life and death.This incident stretched at Hartokibagan Lane under Burtolla Police Station from the night of 23rd May, 1996 to 24th May, 1996 morning. Not just that, the three dogs followed like responsible guardians when some people of the locality rescued the new born baby girl and took her to the Burtolla Police Station. They had, unnoticed by all arrived at the door of the Officer-in-charge at Burtolla Police Station I.K Hossain as people were busy watching the baby, who had been put on the officer’s table, move her hands and feet. This scene did not elude the eyes of the policemen and the curious people present at the police station.

This report states that it was only around 2 pm on 24th May, 1996 , when the baby was put in a car to be taken to a home for foundlings did these three street dogs walk back to their old neighbourhood, walking slowly…

    This is such a heartwarming story. Just like human beings, animals have feelings and emotions. There are also good animals and bad animals. In this story, these three dogs know the baby is vulnerable, so they decided to protect her.

    They did not attack the baby but they make sure no one hurts her. Animals are not less superior than us. We have to recognise that they have feelings and emotions too. We have to treat them with love and care.

    Love from animals is unconditional, they don’t expect anything in return. They are more genuine and sincere than human beings in some sense. If we have a pet at home, make sure it is treated like a family member.

    Wonderful news ………a bright new born baby girl is rescued by 3 strayed dogs and even took the new born baby to the Burtolla Police Station. Its amazing indeed, has proof that dogs have this instinctual behaviour to protect human within their pack. It’s common for dogs to become more alert or even protective . They’re adaptable creatures that bond with their human counterparts well. They are called “man’s best friend,” after all.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    How incredible to see the dogs protecting the baby. A dog does have natural protection to their child but this time we see the dog extend their care, love to a human being. I think the dogs don’t really separate humans or animals but are through their feeling and able to sense the fear and insecure from a baby and the dogs could sense this just like they’re own newborn.

    This is a simple picture but paints a thousand words. Animals do have feelings just like us and what we see here is how they even protect a baby. Don’t harm animals. Respect them and if can help them.

  4. Samfoonheei on Mar 11, 2017 at 3:27 pm

    Touching story ,well as there is a saying that dogs have more senses ,feeling as human.That is very true, The abandoned new born baby who is so fortunate to have met the 3 street dogs.The 3 stray dogs protecting the baby from where they found till someone took the baby to the police station and to the welfare home.
    As Rinpoche always taught us to be kind,caring and compassion to all sentient beings.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing.

  5. Vivian Ong on Mar 11, 2017 at 12:30 am

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this article. I think animals have more sense than human. Even the dogs are kinder and to protect a new-born baby that was left out on the streets. The human who left the baby there is really inhuman. That is not the right way to get rid of the baby. We, as humans really got to re-think what is happening in the society now. Why are humans behaving so cold towards another human?

    With folded palms,
    Vivian

  6. VInnie Tan on Sep 12, 2013 at 6:03 pm

    This is just so touching. It truly shows that animals too have feelings and they would over look what is on the outside. They know that the baby is young and needs protection, hence they are there for him/her.

    Upon reading this story, I believe many of us would feel ashamed. Why is it that animals are able to love and care to this extend, but as humans we are not able to.

  7. abby f on Feb 3, 2013 at 9:00 pm

    Dogs are sensitive. In my experience, dogs are quite kind to children. I don’t know why, but I always see how gentle the dogs are to the kids usually.

    In this case, the 3 dogs showed their nature of taking care baby, no matter their own baby or any being’s babies. Therefore I would say even dogs have the loving and kind nature, and this matched with what Lord Buddha said: every sentient beings has the Buddha nature within. But how about human? We have the good nature too, but because of the selfishness, the fear, egos and etc, we forget the Buddha nature within, we ‘lose’ it by ourselves.

    The dogs showed to us even without a brilliant brain, without education, without anything that human has, they still can show their kindness. Kindness is just a nature of all sentient beings. We have to develop more and more, and eventually we able to eliminate the bad ones. Thank you Rinpoche for sharing such a wonderful post!

  8. Felix Kong on Dec 30, 2012 at 5:33 pm

    What happen to the new born baby ?Why their parent so cruelty and leave baby on the street ? Even dogs also can show its love and care to protect this baby .

  9. Pastor Susan on Nov 21, 2012 at 7:40 pm

    Reading this article made the best part of my day! I don’t think humans have fully comprehended the intelligence (IQ, EQ) of animals. Did the three dogs only followed their instincts to be so protective of the baby? This article shows the potential of animals… i’m sorry to say but in this case, the human action is extremely embarrassing and degrading to the human kind.

    I wish to share this facebook page of a group of youth in kechara. This facebook page was inspired by Rinpoche and managed by 4 youths. Do check it out and support the cause. https://www.facebook.com/AnimalBefriendersCoalition

    This proves once again that animals are more humane than most humans. It is a shame that humans are not even able to show proper affection to their own child and dogs end up becoming more caring and taking care of the child.

  11. Lucas Roth on Nov 15, 2012 at 6:27 pm

    wow this is amazing! dogs are very loyal companions, i love them. it is so fortunate for this baby girl to have these dogs protect her in her time of need. these dogs are indeed incredible.

    It is pretty unbelievable but this is fact witness as reported in the news. What strikes me the most is that these 3 dogs understood the newborn was vulnerable and needed help. Since they cannot do anything to help the baby they stand guard of her. Although human and dog are different species it doesn’t matter to the dogs. This is being compassionate without being selective. Kindness is inherently in all of us.

  14. beatrix ooi on Oct 25, 2012 at 7:58 pm

    For as far as i could know, dogs r very caring and loyalty. They play their roles very well, even better than humans. How can people be so cold blooded, it’s a life they r throwing away. They hv no idea how much karma they hv created.
    Thank You for sharing Rinpoche, I’m very pleased to see that dogs r ‘proven’ to be better than humans.
    Love,
    beatrix.

  15. Julien Roth on Oct 22, 2012 at 12:42 pm

    Wow..that’s amazing. Dogs have yet again shown their great love and compassion towards people, and even new born babies! I find that just amazing.

    What wonderful dogs. I wish them a good rebirth close to the dharma. So they may benefit many others, just as they have already benefited this baby. Thank you for sharing Rinpoche.

  16. Grace ( KSJC ) on Aug 14, 2012 at 1:10 am

    This is sad that why the baby ‘s parent want to abandoned her, even did not give her the chance of living but just thrown her at the dustbin, yet the saviour of the baby is animals, three street dog protect her whole night..shame of the parents …

  17. helen ching on Jul 23, 2012 at 1:37 pm

    Its amazing to see how these 3 street dogs protect the baby. Dogs are very intelligent and these 3 dogs is full of compassion. How touching

  18. Irene Lim on Jul 21, 2012 at 6:01 pm

    These dogs are so humane, it is their instinct to protect the helpless. They have seeds of compassion just like humans. How touching!

  19. So Kin Hoe on Jul 21, 2012 at 1:54 pm

    The 3 dogs had shown great compassion to the unprotected baby on the street. How kind of these 3 mongrels. The stray mongrels are in fact need protections and food as they live without shelter day and night, and only eat with whatever they have found outside. Let us show more care and compassion towards the animals and do not kill them for food.

  20. Frederick Law on Jul 17, 2012 at 12:50 am

    Dogs truly are man best friend. this shows that dog can be more humane than human. although the dogs are in animal form and do not have the human intelligent, but they have one thing that we as Homosapien lacks, loyalty and care. i seen and read many stories of how dogs saves the lives of adult and child, and they guard and protect them closely. yet we human do not even come close of having such quality. But reading this, i believe it also the karmic connection that the baby and the 3 dogs have in their past life, that they protected the baby just like they are protecting their own puppy.

  21. Wan Wai Meng on Jul 16, 2012 at 9:09 pm

    Animals can show restraint in the face of a human child. The dogs are mongrels living on the streets, and are probably hungry despite that they did not harm the child?

    Are we so ‘human’ as to not harm animals when we ourselves are hungry. If people still think animals are just made for us to use, kill and eat think again. Some animals are even much more benevolent, loyal than us human beings. They act more human and humane than us.

  22. Lim KH (JB) on Jul 16, 2012 at 12:57 am

    How the world going on now? After know a little bit Dharma, we will feel that the world now need Dharma knowledge urgently to prevent more cruelness happen. We truthfully hope that we able to flourish Rinpoche teaching to let more peoples around us to receive Dharma knowledge hence to prevent peoples do more stupid things.

  23. Wah Ying on Jul 15, 2012 at 6:59 pm

    The story tells our love and compassion should beyond human and human, and extend to all sentient beings, including animals. Our love always given to people we know, we like.

    Animals cannot talk or write, but they do have feeling, they can feel pain, or express love by action as well. Since animals can have they care expressed in this way, human who claim they are more intelligent should actually do the same and beyond, by well treat and do not consume animals as food.

    And, ironically, those who help you always those you hardly know, for example those who help you while your car is broken along a road side is always stranger we hardly know.

  24. yenpin on Jul 15, 2012 at 12:16 am

    一只狗都比我们更有爱心它只是动物而已,而我们人类就越来越残暴,我们的人性仿佛开始慢慢的消失,就联一只动物都不如。这是值得人类深思的一个问题,动物也如此有爱心的确保初生婴孩不受任何的伤害,父母为何如此的狠心把自己的亲骨肉抛弃呢??做人最基本的慈悲心与爱心都没有。。。。。

  25. Low ksjc on Jul 14, 2012 at 7:00 pm

    It was amazing to witness how stray dogs could display such strong compassion towards other sentient beings, where by the baby’s own mother is so heartless ,that she could abandon her own child.
    Or could it be that the dogs are animation of protectors for the defenseless child.
    It is in deed shameful that the mother of the baby do not cherish the precious human life she was given ,perhaps through her past karma she was not given a chance to understand dharma. It is indeed fortunate that the child is alive and I hope he would realize this when he grows up and given an opportunity to study and practice dharma.

  26. patsy on Jul 14, 2012 at 5:45 pm

    Human vs dogs. Who is more humane? These three dogs showed human what is care, compassion and responsibility. How can any human being abandoned a helpless, new born child out in the open? It’s so sad that human did this to their own kind.

  27. tenzin llhamo on Jul 14, 2012 at 3:35 pm

    Why not give her up for adoption? Or give them to people who wants baby but can’t? It is really sad that places like India and China have to go trough such actions because they are girls. And those dogs are really unbelievable! Dogs are faithful and loving companions and it’s true.

  28. Wendy Loh on Jul 14, 2012 at 1:41 am

    Thank you to the journalists and editor who had a heart to publish this touching story and made it front page. We need more sensitive writers like them. _/\_

  29. Joy on Jul 13, 2012 at 6:57 pm

    Amazing story of unconditional love that trespasses everything, race, religion and being! If dogs/animals can have so much sense and kindness you sometimes wonder why humans can’t. This is a clear example that animals do have feelings and can care, even sometimes better then humans. So with in mind… why do we as human, with a sane conscious mind, choose to abuse and eat animals? The notion of that God put them her for our sustenance is an age old excuse for those who choose to not let go of taste and the arrogant human ego. In being so called “superior” we should instead always protect the weak and less capable… that is humane, that is why we are humans… must we be reminded by animals?

  30. Uncle Eddie on Jul 13, 2012 at 11:57 am

    3 street mongrels strayed-dogs were purportedly found protecting an abandoned new-borned baby girl at Kolkata, Bengal on 23rd and 24th May 1996. Its truly unbelievable and inhuman; evenworst than the wildest of the wild animals. These 3 strayed mongrels are so much better and humane by their natural actions in acting like guardians. They even turn up at the police station to stand guard at the door when the baby was brought there as witnessed by the police and curious by-standers. There are some animals who have more compassion and senses than such particular person, who has the heart to leave a new-borned baby girl beside a dustbin to the pleasure of the dogs. Its really hard even to imagine!!!

  31. justin cheah on Jul 12, 2012 at 11:40 pm

    Even dogs can show the way to love other beings (in this case, a baby). What happened to the human mankind nowadays. I am referring to the incident in Penang most recently. A lady was in wain and nobody bothered (!!!)

  32. Cynthia Ng on Jul 12, 2012 at 8:59 pm

    狗只不过是只动物,而它们也有人性的存在,那么人类呢?这是值得人类深思的一个问题,动物也如此有爱心的确保把初生婴孩不受任何的伤害,身为父母的为何可以如此的狠心把亲身骨肉抛弃呢??

    人类是世界上最残忍的动物!做人最基本的慈悲心我们都没有的话,哪里还可以谈得上爱心呢?!因果报应是生生不息的,要对自己的所做所为附上责任。

  33. Phillis Chin on Jul 12, 2012 at 5:24 pm

    Amazing of the three responsible “HUMAN” who safe the baby girl. Are this three little fellow a human?? Obviously they are only stray dogs goodness sick….. Yeap, this is what happen to our universe. Sad….

  34. Jace Chong on Jul 12, 2012 at 4:51 pm

    爱与关怀不应该之存在于人与人之间,万物皆有灵。

    野狗也会关怀别的生命,可是为什么身为人类的我们忍心把孩子丢下呢?很多父母弃婴是为了逃避责任,可是这3只狗狗虽然跟这婴儿没有血缘关系,却一直跟着把婴儿送进警局的大伙儿,确保这婴儿到安全的地方。这真的令我们感到惭愧。

    愿这小孩长大了以后也记得这些狗狗的照顾,然后给予他人相同的爱与关怀。

  35. Judy Lam on Jul 12, 2012 at 3:57 pm

    Wow amazing story! These dogs deserve medals for being so protective over a baby that is not even their kind! It is a miracle for the baby to survive the whole night with just the dogs guarding over the baby! Very often we see news of abandoned babies flashed across our local dailies, most likely by unmarried mothers. Eventhough I cannot understand how a mother could do that, I am sure it is not easy for the mother to do so, as the guilt will haunt her for the rest of her life. I do believe that Buddhism and religious guidance are important to instil good values in our young. We will also take responsibility for our actions and understand the consequences of not doing so.

  36. DR on Jul 12, 2012 at 1:25 pm

    I have read of many stories about dolphins saving humans from drowning or sharks are fairly common. In near drownings, dolphins push humans to the surface. During shark attacks, dolphins protect victims by surrounding them. Also stories of dog saves puppy from drowning, a protective farm dog celebrated as a hero after spending the night cradling an abandoned newborn baby, etc.

    Compassion is an inherent quality of humanity – and probably of many other species. It is just a matter of whether one wishes to activate this quality. So it is not surprising to read of all these accounts.

    • Sharon Saw on Aug 23, 2012 at 7:11 pm

      fully agree with you there on the many examples of other species who have helped human beings without being ‘taught’ to be compassionate. Ironically, human beings are being taught instead to be selfish in order to ‘survive’.

      Human beings seem to be the ones with least natural compassionate instinct as we are taught from young that we have to be better than others and that it is okay to step on others on our way to success and as ‘survival of the fittest’. We need to rediscover the innate compassion in our buddha nature which is inherent in all beings, which is why we need to re-learn new habits as Rinpoche says.

  37. Victor Phang on Jul 12, 2012 at 7:13 am

    Yes, dog is the human’s most loyal friend but in this case, the loyalty was a bit different. The new-born baby didn’t / couldn’t feed or play with the dogs in order to get their loyalty and friendship. Very strange incident, perhaps both the baby and dogs had karmic connection. I do not know if these 3 dogs gave the same “protection” to other baby or beings, if so then they must be born to be guardians. Anyway they are very kind and responsible dogs and their qualities are better than a lot of human beings.
    Thank you for sharing

  38. Sheryl KH (JB) on Jul 11, 2012 at 11:37 pm

    This is really a very amazing story for me.

    Dogs are more inclined towards carnivorous than vegetarian diets, yet these three mongrels protected this little baby girl perfectly like guardian angels. They acted like human too in the whole event.

    I wish very much that this little baby will grow up to be a great person and that these three dogs can reborn in better places with the great deeds that they have done in this life.

  39. Lim Tat Ming on Jul 11, 2012 at 9:16 pm

    Amazing dogs with hearts of compassion that even many of us human cannot compare with. How fortunate the baby was! He must have good affinities with these dogs! May these dogs be free of sufferings of the animal realm.

  40. Julia Tan on Jul 11, 2012 at 8:37 pm

    After reading the story, the first thing I thought was a jungle boy named Tarzan. He was adapted and raised by the ape. No matter a human or animal, they all have love inside their hearts. Those three dogs acted like the street baby’s mother to protect the baby. It’s a good example of love expression. This child must be special.. 

  41. Doreen Teoh on Jul 11, 2012 at 5:24 pm

    This dogs proves that dog are not just an “animal” but they have connection with other beings too, like us human. Dogs has always been a good loyal friend, companion, and even motivators. Some breed of dogs are trained to guide the blind, and even assisting children with special needs. They understands and is full of compassion. I salute to these three dogs for protecting this helpless baby on the street.

  42. jennifer on Jul 11, 2012 at 4:40 pm

    This article really warms my heart especially when in the newspaper just a few days ago, a new born baby was found squashed into a school bag and thrown out like garbage!
    I have always been terribly passionate about dogs, and there is a saying that goes “the more i know man, the more i love dogs!”. These amazing street dogs are a lot lot more compassionate and humane than man himself. And we have the arrogance to call ourselves the most highly evolved and intelligent species of the mammal world!

  43. Sofi on Jul 11, 2012 at 4:11 pm

    Human without humanity. Dog with care and compassion. In this case, who is the ones more “human”? As generations progress, humanity seems to regress. So sad!

    • Gim Lee on Jul 12, 2012 at 3:20 pm

      Dear Sofi,

      Yes so sad… who is/are ‘human’ here? The dogs that protect the baby or the people who threw her at dump site?

      Of all the sentient beings in the 6 realms of existence, human realm supposedly the only one that provides us the opportunity and the potential to attain Buddhahood… yet these dogs showed they are the ones with Buddha-potential… shame shame…

  44. Cindy on Jul 11, 2012 at 3:34 pm

    Dogs are like human also.There also need love & cares fr us. If u know how to communicate with them, there are just like family members to us.

  45. Adeline Woon on Jul 11, 2012 at 3:34 pm

    This is precisely why dogs or any other animals are not food. They are no difference from human beings, in fact they are known with their good qualities of being loyal and caring.

  46. HelenaC on Jul 11, 2012 at 3:28 pm

    This is Amazing and sad at the same time! The Amazing thing is the 3 dogs are so humane!! They are showing human on compassion and responsible!! The sad thing is it is very shameful that human did this to their own kind!!! What world is this??
    Thank you for the beautiful story Rinpoche.

    • Li Kheng on Jul 11, 2012 at 5:55 pm

      Hi Helena,

      I completely agree with you. Not only are humans abandoning their own kind, in this case, it is mother abandoning her own flesh and blood! I cannot imagine a connection closer than mother and child yet this act of abandonment forces me to think the dominance of selfishness in our mind stream is so strong that we have the ability to coldly sever one of human race’s most sacred bond.

      Whatever problems the mother of this child could have been facing, there are better options besides throwing a helpless new born in a dump site. This news should prompt us to really think before acting as our every action has consequences that directly impacts another being. Furthermore, by the law of karma, our every act also directly influences the consequences we have to bear in the future.

  47. Kevin Tan on Jul 11, 2012 at 2:42 pm

    There are already many well documented events of animals rescuing and protecting people. This clearly illustrate the existence of certain ‘bonding’ between humans and animals. Buddhists have definate explanation which involve karmic connection and the existence of Buddha nature in all sentient beings, including dogs. This case shows clearly that if we all have a karmic connection with animals and if animals too have Buddha nature, then it does not make sense why we abuse animals, does it?

  48. JP on Jul 11, 2012 at 2:26 pm

    Dogs are the most loyal companions. Humans pale in comparison to dogs. No matter how much you scream at them, they will still sit by your side and all ready to be on your good books again. No matter how long they are kept alone in your home, every time you return, they’ll be so happy to greet you.

    Imagine if you did the same to humans. There’ll be so much friction to the relationship and if there’s no compromise, you can all it quits. It all sounds so familiar.

    I guess that’s why the classic saying, A dog is a man’s best friend!

  49. verontung on Jul 11, 2012 at 1:45 pm

    真的是让人反省的故事。这真的看得出,连一只只是我们所谓的野狗也都能如此的有爱心,我们身为人类的,有思想和智慧,是不是更应该为自己所做的事负责人的?没有血缘的狗可以不分昼夜的守护着这这小宝贝,直到这小孩儿被送往安全的地方。这“短暂”的忠心及付出,不见得我们人类可以如此无条件的有如此的动作。要学会忠心,忠心对身边的朋友,家人,伙伴,上司等。谢谢仁波切的教诲。

    n their theoretical model, rudeness has this impact on our ability to think because it engenders negative sadness, anger. Researchers have found that common negative behaviours can spread easily and have significant consequences. The best way to avoid rude people is to meet their acts of rudeness with kindness. Exposure to neurotoxins in society is not new. Children today are raised in an environment that is much different from those days. Nowadays they are exposed to behaviours, profane language, hostilities and stress from which we adults, raised a generation ago. Studies have shown that children exposed to serious psychological trauma during childhood are at risk of suffering increased psychiatric disorders. Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche.

    Revisit this blog again . Reading comments in this blog Rich people have substantial assets and income, providing a sense of security and freedom from financial worries. Owning high-end cars, designer clothing and everything they want with their money. Rich people often have more time for leisure, hobbies, and travel, allowing them to pursue interests and experiences. They may live in large, luxurious homes and have or apartments, often in desirable locations and having personalized services. The fundamental difference in mindset between the rich and the poor is, the rich have understood a very simple principle money makes money. Rich people see money as an opportunity, while poor people see it as something to be earned. Poor people work hard for their money. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has. Not he who has much is rich, but he who gives much. The primary difference between rich people and poor people is how they handle their wealth. My thought been rich in this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.
    Thank you for sharing Rinpoche.

    Found this old post …disturbing. Having a name especially a Bar linked to Buddha to be disrespectful towards Buddhism. After much controversy the owner had it removed. The Buddha Bar located in Sabah by a young owner which opened without much thought had many people complaining. Later was forced to have its controversial name changed to ‘Peacock Garden’ and had apologised for the controversial name. As a devout Buddhist, the name ‘Buddha Bar’ which serves alcohol, is disrespectful to the revered Buddha.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Siberia, considered the heartland of shamanism inhabited by many different ethnic groups, and many of its peoples observe shamanistic. Many of the indigenous communities reclaiming their traditional spiritual and healing practices . Interesting. Siberian shamanism is often called Tengerism, involves various rituals, including drumming, chanting, trance states, and offerings to nature spirits and ancestors. This religious practice has deep roots in Siberia and Central Asia in recent years with roots in the Turkic and Mongolic cultures. Many who have been live in a remote part of Russia, have preserved their shamanic traditions due to their isolation. Many customs of Tengrism are still been practiced where they emphasizes a deep respect for nature and its various spirits, including those of the earth, water, and mountains. They do believe in the continued existence of souls and the importance of honouring their ancestors.
    Thank you Rinpoche sharing this ancient religion.

    Everyone of us has an unforgettable different experience, a different destination and itineraries. The journey to Shar Gaden Monastery back in 2019, making offerings to the sangha , by the Kecharians hold special moments and memories. They were on behalf of His Eminence the 25th Tsem Rinpoche and Kechara in making an offering to all 650 monks of the monastery. On this fruitful trip the Kecharians had the honour to catch a glimpse of the normally-covered holy statue of Dorje Shugden . Awesome this holy statue of Dorje Shugden was handmade by HH Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche and HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche.The team was also granted an audience with H E Domo Geshe Chocktrul Rinpoche. Having the opportunity to make offerings to the monks was indeed meritorious. Rejoice to them. Looking at those beautiful pictures paints a thousands words. Thank you Rinpoche and team for this sharing. Merely looking at it is a blessing especially the Holy Statue of Dorje Shugden.

    Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. We can’t let our failures define us. Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure. Success is never permanent, and failure is never final. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness .Sometimes just reminding ourselves of the temporality of failure enables us to forge ahead and stay focus looking forward . Failure isn’t something many of us can handle gracefully. And even though we know it’s a common human condition, figuring out how to stay motivated in the face of failure .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this profound teachings.

    Finally HH Dalai Lama said we can practice Dorje Shugden. After all these years of deep frustration felt by the Tibetan people. They who lack religious freedom been denied and been exploited in all sectors of society. More than 60 years the Tibetan leadership has cause the sufferings of those in exile who had propitiate Dorje Shugden. Dalai Lama did reiterated although he recommended not worshipping Dorje Shugden as it is a personal choice and freedom. Interesting read.

    Working in a private hospital before ,having witnessed many personal tragedies faced by the living and dying patients. Many of these poor people faced their death with fear, with misery and pain before departing this world. With the images of all these in my mind, on occasion feeling sad and grieve at times when those we have cared .But nonetheless we should recognise certain truths. All of us are going to leave this world at one time and leaving those we love. In the teaching of the Buddha, all of us will pass away eventually as a part in the natural process of birth, old-age and death and that we should always keep in mind the impermanence of life. Along the journey of life, we are reminded of our own inevitable ends in waiting and everything is a blip of transience and impermanent. Be responsible, good and positive for ourselves and towards others. This leads to calmness, happiness and an outlook which contributes to a calm and controlled mind at the time of death. We have to remind ourselves the importance of rebirth and taking time to prepare for their own demise before its too late.To cultivate the good karma, our good actions are an excellent way prepare for our death. Having lead a responsible and compassionate life and have no regrets when death approaches enables us to surrender without a struggle. The life that we all cherish and wish to hold on. We are doomed to the endless cycles of life and death, we should learn and practices Dharma teachings .We are given a chance in life and choice to determine our future, to determine where we will go for rebirth. Spend our time on earth wisely before its too late.

    The Eerie Enigma of the Mothman are refer to the legendary, humanoid, winged creature as said by the locals as where is was been sighted. Since then it had sparking a blend of fear and fascination among the locals in the Point Pleasant, West Virginia area. This creature became an eerie symbol of fear, tragedy, and fascination for decades to come since the stories are so enduring and pervasive . The first reported encounter in 1966 in West Virginia and to the most recent one in 2024 in Kane, Illinois. In the quiet town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, the mysterious creature had igniting one of the most puzzling legends in American folklore. Witnesses described this creature standing over seven feet tall, with a wingspan that could rival a small aircraft, glowing red eyes, and a human-like figure. This interesting, could it be real no one knows, there’s something out there for sure.

    His Holiness the Dalai Lama is considered the incarnation of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara and therefore he is an enlightened being. H H Dalai Lama has strongly discouraged the practice of Dorje Shugden worship within Tibetan Buddhism. Dorje Shugden is a prominent deity in the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism. Many highly attained Lamas have been relying on this Powerful Protector for centuries and even Dalai lama previously do propitiate Dorje Shugden . It cannot be wrong and its wrong to view it as a form of “spirit worship”. All his previous 9 reincarnations practiced with devotion, all of the Dalai Lamas teachers practiced Dorje Shugdan as well . The Tibetan community is torn over this issue and this has been the cause of much suffering and unnecessary prejudice. Dalai Lama is without doubt an enlightened being that surely cannot be tricked by a spirit. Dalai Lama did composed a praise to Dorje Shugden while at Dungkar Monastery . Interesting article , may more people read this and to understand better regarding this controversy. In 2020, the Dalai Lama made a Uturn by saying we can practice Dorje Shugden . Thats’ wonderful and relief for many practitioners.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    Butön Rinchen Drup, 11th Abbot of Shalu Monastery, was a 14th-century Sakya master and Tibetan Buddhist leader. Butön Rinchen Drup a Tibetan great scholar and translator, known for systematizing the Tibetan Buddhist canon containing the Indian scriptures based on the spoken words of the Buddha. He also compiled the Tangyur collection that contains the Indian and Tibetan commentaries of these teachings. He wrote a famous text, the History of Buddhism in India and Tibet, which many Tibetan scholars utilize in their study till today. He remains to this day as one of the most important Tibetan historians and Buddhist writers in the history of Buddhism and Tibet. He was not merely a capable administrator but he is remembered to this very day as a prodigious scholar and writer and is Tibet’s most celebrated historian. After his death he strongly influenced the development of esoteric studies and psychic training in Tibet for centuries. Interesting biography of a great scholar.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David with folded hands.

    nspiring a Tibetan Parliament representing the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, spoke bravely for the need to stop discriminating against Dorje Shugden practitioners. Tenpa Yarphel, a Tibetan MP speaking confidently for the sake of Tibetan unity. Tibetans in exile have also been particularly divided over the issue of the two Karmapas and the very damaging Dorje Shugden conflict. For someone who dare to speak for the sake of peace with the intention of moving forward to a better future. Tenpa Yarphel spoke up against the continuing discrimination of people based on their beliefs. For over more than 20 years those Tibetans especially those Dorje Shugden practitioners suffered from the lack of employment opportunities to discrimination. A wise decision of Tenpa Yarphel speaking up the truth of the Tibetan sufferings. They are not allowed in Tibetan hospitals, or apply jobs in the Tibetan civil service or even entering shop or hotels and so on. Tenpa Yarphel’s statement, paints a thousand words of reality. A big hand applaud to this brave man .

    Losar is the Tibetan New Year, a festival that marks the beginning of the year on the Tibetan calendar. It is celebrated among the Tibetan community all over the world recently. Losar marks the beginning of the Tibetan calendar year a time for family gatherings, religious ceremonies, and feasting because of its long history and rich cultural traditions. The celebrations will last for 15 days whereby the first three days being the most important day for them and widely celebrated festival on the Tibetan calendar. During theTibetan New Year, Panglung Oracles are known to enter a trance state, of the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden. This practice is considered a significant part of the Losar celebrations within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, providing guidance and blessings to those seeking their wisdom. People often consult the Panglung oracles to receive predictions, advice, and blessings for the coming year. Dorje Shugden will also give teachings while in trance of an oracle.
    Reading this old blog again where back in 2022, the Great Protector Dorje Shugden gave an inportant message to everyone of us. We should take it seriously practising good virtues, such as prostrating ,making offerings and practise the holy Dharma. Everyone should always be kind-hearted and doing our best to cultivate loving-kindness, compassion and bodhicitta.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this precious advices.

    Pemayangtse Monastery is a Buddhist monastery in Sikkim, India that is part of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It is one of the oldest and most famous monasteries in Sikkim. It is home to Dorje Shugden, a spirit in Tibetan tradition. The monastery is one of the oldest and most famous in Sikkim. Pemayangtse Monastery in Sikkim, founded by Lhatsun Namkha Jigme of the Nyingma tradition. One of the earliest modern academic references to Dorje Shugden. Stunning sculptures, paintings and ancient scrolls can be found in the Monastery. Interesting story behind this monastery,as described by Lieutenant Colonel Laurence Austine Waddell a British explorer, collector and author. Through the years of travelling in India, Sikkim and areas on the borders of Nepal and Tibet, after doing research on Tibetan Buddhist religious practices he made a stunning discovery. He discovered that Dorje Shugden existence in the Nyingma monastery as written in his book, which confirmed that Dorje Shugden been worshipped in the Nyingma as well . Not only worshipped in the Gelug lineage but held prominence in the Nyingma tradition too. Interesting read.
    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.
    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
