Thank you Soror Lourdes!!
Dear Soror,
Thank you so much for this. It makes me very happy to hear this. I never go anywhere without lots of dried foods in my car to stop for dogs. I will do this for the rest of my life. And I am so touched you will do this for animals also. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking time out to relieve the hunger of an animal at least for that day…
Tsem Rinpoche
In the footsteps of HE Tsem Rinpoche, just as he does I’m keeping bags of cat and dog food in my car so that whenever I see one driving by I can stop and feed them. I can’t keep every single stray animal I see out there, but if I can… relief their hunger until the following day and pray that someone who can give them shelter, I will do whatever possible!
This morning on my way to work close by where I parked my car I saw this beautiful giant black dog staring at every single person who passed by him. I was walking on the other side of him getting closer to my work and stopped for a minute and decided to cross the road. I knew I would be late, but how can I not miss a few minutes to help? Human or animal, we are all the same and we seek the same happiness! He was standing by the corner of a small coffee shop. I approached the girl and asked if she could get me some croquettes, but she had nothing prepared. When I turned around this huge and intimidating dog was waiting behind me. Then, I had an idea. I was holding my lunch bag with a few slices of salami and cheese for my lunch. I opened the container and handed a piece of salami and he gently took it from my hand and gave a look I would never forget. Then, he looked at me again and at my lunch bag, so, I took a few steps away from the coffee shop by the side and gave him all I had. Crossing the road again for work I glanced for a second at this dog who make such a great impression on me. So, at that moment I thought of this wonderful monk, Tsem Rinpoche, and decided that from now on I’ll always have food for those animals in need.
Please, do the same. It doesn’t take much, but what you’ll receive in return is priceless!
P.S. The image I chose for this is just about the dog I fed today.

this is such a nice story to hear that he is following Rinpoche’s footsteps and is feeding stray dogs. i hope that doggie was fed well and i hope now he has a shelter and is okay. people should help them because they have lives too, they feel pain,hunger,loyalty and animals posses a great knowledge. please help animals, they need help
Rinpoche’s example of keeping dried dog foods in His car has influenced Soror to do the same. One kind act of Soror went a long way to feed the poor hungry dog.
Thank you Rinpoche and Soror for your kindness to the animals. Soror you are so generous, you give up all of your lunch because you want the dog to be fed so it won’t be hungry at the moment. Dear Rinpoche, I love animals very much i would like to be a veterinarian when i grow up so that i can save animals from sufferings.
This is amazing Rinpoche, i would like to do more things like this. I wish i was able to carry around dog food and cat food so when i see any cat or dog lying on the streets, i may instantly be able to give it help and love. I hope that Rinpoche will carry on to do more things like this for the animals. And when Rinpoche does, may i be there to help.
It’s such a wonderful news to see that Soror has so much care towards animals. I’m very glad to see this. Thank You for spreading awareness through such action. Thank You for sharing Rinpoche.
Love,
beatrix
Thank you Soror for helping the poor hungry fellow. The world be a happier place to live if more people has a kind heart like you. Kechara Soup Kitchen (KSK) is one of Kechara department that feeding the homeless. Every Saturday night when our volunteers go out to the street to distribute food to the homeless, at the same time we also take along dried food for the dogs and cats on the street. Our volunteers are very happy to help the cats and dogs too. Please continue your kind act. KSK’s motto: HUNGER KNOWS NO BARRIERS. May more people step forward and show their kindness to animals
Soror has done such a great job with Rinpoche being his inspiration.
I am a dog lover, for me, they are the faithful breed of animal.
Dogs have this natural inclination of staying loyal to those who who care for them. Even if it is just one meal, they will remember you as long as they are alive. I have experienced this personally, I know.
Dogs have many qualities that human beings sometimes find hard to keep. Loyalty is one example.
feels so good seeing all these animals get their food and seeing all the dogs so happy wagging their tails. So nice to watch this video thank you rinpoche this really lifts my spirits. I have fed the cats and dog at my home milk from the pujas they love it!
Thank you Soror for your sharing of the inspiration which you got from H.E.Tsem Tulku Rinpoche and how you felt it when you experience on your own.
The feeling of giving, especially feed the street animals who has no help is very overwhelm and hardly to describe. Its not because of we did something great but it about how the animals look at us like we were giving their new life, give hope to them, it really fulfil and really touching and make us feel that we want to do more as we want to see more animal happy..
Thank you Soror and not to forget our dear Rinpoche for reminding us what is true compassion,which hold no boundries which reaches out to all living beings.May all living beings need not worry for their next meal and suffer any form of starvation phycicaly or spirituly. Thank You.
Dear Soror
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful act of care and concern for this doggie….which i’m sure your caring acts have expanded since. I love animals very much and needless to say, your post touched my heart. It is encouraging to know of kind acts toward animals.
may you have all the resources always to eleviate the sufferings of others and may you always have happiness and health.
Thank you so much for your blessings, wanting to share my story with the world! _/|\_
I have been keeping dog and cat food in my car for sometimes. Before I feed the dog or cat, I will chant Medicine Buddha mantra and blow on the food.
Thank you Rinpoche for showing us all these videos. I will continue to feed the stray dog and cat.
Yes Soror i agree with you, it doesn’t take much to do this. Your unconditional love for animals will sure to inspire lots of people to do the same. Thank you.
Thank you Soror and thank you Rinpoche. I will do the same to lessen the suffering of the stray dogs.
Thank you, Soror, and thank you, too, Rinpoche! Such beautiful acts of compassion are worth more than a mountain of gold.
