I shouldn’t be alive… | 一场几乎夺走我性命的可怕车祸……

(By Pastor Loh Seng Piow)

Joy is a long-time student of His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche, she is a talented girl in arts, and has painted many fabulous Buddha statues for Rinpoche in Tsem Ladrang. Sometime last year, Rinpoche warned Joy that she would have a serious car accident, and wanted her to stay around so that she would be protected. True enough, Joy had a car accident a few days ago, her car lost control and spun twice before slamming hard on the ditch, landing on the driver side where the window was smashed…but somehow Joy escaped with just some bruises on her arm!!! Read on…

A tragic accident that could have taken my life…

This was just 4 days ago as I was driving up to KFR… my car lost control on the highway, turned 360 degree twice and I slammed in to a huge ditch. So what was going through my mind as I spun around twice… I knew I was going to be hit and everything was going way too fast, so I just closed my eyes and thought of Tsem Rinpoche, my Guru (and Protector as one).

I opened my eyes and realised that my window was completely smashed… and my head was cushioned by my laptop bag!! This is no ordinary laptop bag as Rinpoche just 2 nights ago gifted me with a new laptop (no the laptop was not in the bag). So how on earth did this bag so coincidentally flew, so accurately from the back of my car seat to the front to protect my head from being smashed? I basically climbed out with a few minor scratches on my right arm. That was it!

What would have happened if I had no Dharma… No Rinpoche? No new laptop with bags? How did Rinpoche know??? How did Rinpoche prepared me? I do not know, but I do know for sure… this is the 3rd time my Lama has saved my life from a tragic car accident. They say just from one’s faith in the Guru, one will be protected and gain tremendous blessings and attainments as He is kinder even more then the Buddhas of the past. He is the living Buddha for you… and now I can swear this is TRUE based not just on my “faith” but for the many times I’ve cheated death recently.

With folded hands and humbly grateful to Rinpoche… for if not I will not live to tell this tale today. May I never be separated from my Lama in this life and in all future lives and to always continuously serve my Lama and the Dharma whole heartedly for everything else is but impermanent like a dream, a mirage, samsara swallows you whole…

Joy

甘宝爱是尊贵的詹仁波切的资深弟子,她在美术方面特有才华,也替仁波切在詹拉章彩绘了多尊精致庄严的佛像。在去年的某一天,仁波切告诫宝爱她会经历一场危险 的交通意外,并指示她跟随在侧以给予她加持庇佑。果然不出所料,几天前宝爱出了交通意外。在撞向沟渠之前,她开的车子失控并旋转了两圈。整辆车子往司机座 的方向翻,车镜也跟着碎了。然而,宝爱成功逃脱,身体也无大碍,只是擦伤了手肘。请继续阅读:

Joy是尊贵的詹杜固仁波切的弟子。前几天她开车在通往文冬的高速公路上飞驰时,车子突然失控,在空中翻了两圈,然后重重的摔在沟渠里,而且是摔在了司机那一边,车窗玻璃也碎了,但奇迹的是,除了手上的一点小割伤外,Joy居然安然无恙!

在去年里,仁波切已经警告过Joy,说她会遇到车祸劫难,要她一定得留在仁波切身边以受到仁波切和护法的保佑。在车祸发生的前几天,仁波切送给了Joy一台崭新笔记本,附带笔记本包。当车祸发生时,车在空中翻转的一刹那,放在车后座的笔记本包(里头没有笔记本)竟然准确的“飞”到了Joy的头右边,在撞击 的那一刻垫住了她的头,救了她一命 !!!如果没有仁波切和护法的保佑,Joy恐怕已经凶多吉少了!

一场几乎夺走我性命的可怕车祸

四天前在我开车到克切拉禅修林的路上,我的车子在高速大道上失控,并360度地转了两个圈,接着我便撞向大沟渠。当车子失控旋转的时候,我心想自己一定会给撞上,一切都发生在几秒内。于是我闭上双眼,想着我的上师詹仁波切及护法神是一体的。

当 我睁开双眼时,我发现我的车镜全碎了,而我的手提电脑包竟然垫住了我的头部!这不是个一般的手提电脑包,因为仁波切刚在两天前送了我一台全新的手提电脑 (发生车祸时手提电脑包内是空的)。那么这个手提电脑包究竟是如何那么刚好地“飞”起来,并准确地从车子后座移向前座,保护我的头部免受撞击。我自己从车 子内爬出来,右手肘也只有一些小擦伤,就只是这样!

如 果我没遇见佛法,当时会发生什么事呢?没有仁波切,没有新的手提电脑及手提电脑包,我又会如何呢?仁波切是怎么知道的?仁波切如何为我做准备?我不知道, 我当然不晓得。这已经是仁波切将我从可怕的交通意外中解救出来第三次了。人们都说只要对上师怀有信念,我们都会受到庇佑及获得无量的加持及修行成就,因为 上师比过去佛还要仁慈。上师是你活生生的菩萨。我可以发誓这一切都是真实的,这一切并不只是建立在我的“信念“之上,而是建立于多次的死里逃生。

我双掌合十并虔敬地向仁波切致谢。若不是仁波切,我就无法存活下来,告诉大家这个奇迹。愿我生生世世都能亲近我的上师,一直侍候他并全心全意地为佛法奉献。其他一切事物就好比梦境及海市蜃楼般无常……娑婆世界能完全吞噬你。

甘宝爱

    Thank you, Joy for sharing this incident with us, and by doing so, show us that the tremendous power of faith and trust in the Guru. Just by looking at the photos of the wrecked car sent a chill down my spine. Many people suffer much more from an accident like this than just scratches here and there. I am glad that Joy came out with minor scratches and that she was ok. May she always be the light to others to increase the faith in our Guru.

  2. Pee Bee Chong on Oct 31, 2014 at 6:47 pm

    Thank you Pastor Loh Seng Piow and Joy for the sharing.

    So touched by Joy’s Pure Guru Samaya and Guru Devotion. May we have the merits as Joy has.

    i am so happy aunty joy is ok. thank you Rinpoche for giving her advise and the dharma which saved her life. wow, thank you Rinpoche for sharing this.

  7. So Kin Hoe on Mar 18, 2013 at 11:13 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for protecting Joy and protecting everyone of us. We are very lucky to have our Rinpoche around us and we must spread the Dharma to let more people to follow our Guru’s teaching and purify the bad karma.

  8. Sharon on Mar 8, 2013 at 12:59 pm

    Hi, Joy! Thanks for sharing your amazing story. Am a great believer of everything happens for a reason. Just like how you got laptop as a gift from Rinpoche. It was meant more than just for work.:) Glad that you are alive to share your story here.

  9. Pastor Chia on Mar 7, 2013 at 1:30 am

    I can totally believe regard what hapening Joy has experience the car accident. It happen to me before few years ago. Rinpoche has warned me to be careful about car accidentmany time. I experienced 5 time car accident during that particular year. Without protection from Rinpoche and protector blessing. I won’t be here today. It ready important we must listen Rinpoche advice to do something to purify our negative karma before it manifest.

  10. Cliff on Mar 5, 2013 at 7:58 pm

    I’m so glad Joy is safe. Rinpoche has always been there for us and protected us. It is wonderful to know that in the midst of joy’s accident she was thinking of Rinpoche and the protector as one before the car landed on the driver’s side, most people would have selfishly thought of themselves, their lives coming to an end and that they would depart from their worldly possessions, but Rinpoche has given us the dharma and have prepared us not just physically but mentally as well. If not for Rinpoche we would be living very different lives. Thank you for sharing your experience and I’m glad you’re safe.

  11. Sheryl KH (JB) on Mar 4, 2013 at 10:50 pm

    It is amazing for me to learn that Joy can escape car accident of this magnitude with only few scratches on her hand. I am glad that Joy is fine.

    Rinpoche has warned Joy about this upcoming accident last year and again gave her a laptop bag just 2 days before the accident. Rinpoche knows that something is coming, yet maybe He needs to let it happens anyway because this is our karma.

    Thank you Joy for sharing this true account of yourself so that we can all learn the importance of heading guru’s advise.

  12. HelenaC on Mar 4, 2013 at 4:03 pm

    OMB OMB!!!!! It is really a miracle!!! It is so amazing that the accident caused no harm to Joy!!! And the most amazing is Rinpoche knows 🙂 We must do more Dharma work to accumulate more merits to ourselves so that we will always be protected by our Guru and protector. Thank Rinpoche and Protector for saving Joy’s life!!

  13. Adrian Cho on Mar 4, 2013 at 10:17 am

    Thank you JOy for sharing this interesting story, that we can knows it Rinpoche is always be there to protect us all the times.

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this post.

  14. sweekeong on Mar 4, 2013 at 4:24 am

    Dear Joy, you could really get seriously hurt the way your car hit the drain. Thank you for sharing what you have experience, your thoughts, and your feelings during the accident. Never leave your live to chances but have faith in our guru to help us in our time of need. You have follow the instructions given well and thus are protected from serious injury.

  15. June Tang(KHJB) on Mar 3, 2013 at 12:58 pm

    I am glad that Joy is safe from the car accident.Joy is really really lucky to have blessing of Rinpoche and Protector to helped her through this critical moments !!By having good devotion with our GURU,miracle can be happen !!Joy is a good example to show us how a Guru’s blessings work if we have fully faith in our Guru !!

    It’s very lucky that Joy is totally fine and still standing perfectly next to us today, a lot of people who went thru this kind of car accident might not that lucky like Joy.

    This road is not a small road that not much car will pass by, Joy’s accident point it’s located in the middle of a highway that connected KL to Kuantan (2 major city of Selangor and Pahang), thousand of car will passed by this road with high speed. If there’s a car coming from the back when Joy’s car is spinning, the result will be worst.

    Accident could be a type of purification or maybe a sign of our bad karma catching up. No one can stop our bad karma catching up, not even Buddha himself, so how Rinpoche help in this situation?

    When one is serving the dharma, taking refuge under a guru and the three jewels, we are in the process of purified our bad karma and generate more merits to open up more good karma. Based on the merits that collected from Joy’s work this few years, she is safe now. Based on the merits Joy collected, she is able to have a guru who give her advise before bad thing happened on her, based on the merits she collected, she just have minor hurt in this serious accident. Also because of her merits, Joy able to purified her bad karma which could took away her life.

    Rinpoche have gave us a lot of advise we should contribute to dharma in whatever way we can, it’s not bacause Rinpoche will get anything from us but we will be able to help ourselves when it’s needed.

    Thanks Rinpoche for the blessing and we could have joy still with us today.

    Thanks
    Bryan

  18. grace (KHJB) on Mar 1, 2013 at 12:51 pm

    Look at the car situation, people will think that the driver may have vital injury,it is really incredible that Joy only have few minor scratches. with good samaya with Rinpoche, Joy have create a good karma and merits to able receive Rinpoche’s protection..i agree with Sharon comment “we must constantly work on purifying our negative karma, accumulating merits and most importantly, to keep good samaya with our Guru. “

  19. Lisa Leong on Mar 1, 2013 at 11:29 am

    This story or miracle reminded myself again to keep good samaya with my Guru…constantly do our practice or dharma work sincerely to accumalate good merits and at the same time purify our bad karma.

  20. uncle eddie on Feb 28, 2013 at 4:20 pm

    As stressed, without pure Dharma practice and realisations, we have no real spiritual protection from danger, harm and sufferings. Therefore, we definetly need to develop an unchangeable wish to practice Dharma purely. By practising Dharma enthusiastically, it makes our Dharma strong, powerful, constant and pure, which will also pleases our Guru too, and thus strenghten and increase our guru devotion! All such spiritual practices could have led Joy out of serious harms and injuries in that terrible and weird accident of hers with just a few minor scratches. Congrats to you Joy, please keep up the good practice! Thank you Rinpoche for all the usual great care and compassion you have for your students, friends and all living beings, especially animals too!

  21. Sean Wang on Feb 28, 2013 at 1:27 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for always being around us to love, care and protect us! Rinpoche always does so much for us, regardless of whether we know it or not. I personally received so many gifts from Rinpoche. Rinpoche always shows care towards anyone, even those who have not shown any form of gratitude. Rinpoche’s compassion is indeed superhuman in nature.

    Joy is a great example of Rinpoche’s care and how a samaya held with constant care and awareness can save one’s life. The accident was going to happen because of previous negative karmas but it lessened the suffering caused thanks to Rinpoche and Setrap.

  22. AdelineTan on Feb 27, 2013 at 5:29 pm

    What Joy said is very true.What would have happened if she had no dharma and no Rinpoche? A tragic accident liked that would have taken her life. Because Joy has painted a lot of Rinopoche’s buddhas statues and followed the instructions of Rinpoche,she has collected a lot of merits and managed to escape serious injuries and stay alive, so Joy wishes never to be separated from her Lama in this life and her all her future lives, a wise decision she has made.

  23. Leann Lim on Feb 26, 2013 at 3:04 pm

    看到这车祸毁坏的程度,真是不敢相信,JOY只是手臂擦伤而已~~只能说这是奇迹,在师父和护法保护下的奇迹!! 对上师和护法坚定的信念,不只让我们得到生命的保护,更让我们可以继续修行佛法,让生命更有意义…常听说修佛法,就是修让我们面对死亡的那一刻; 因为生命无常,随时在下一秒,我们就这样离开人世不是没可能的事…在没有佛法的‘支持’和理解下,如果那一刻突然来临时,真的无法想像自己该怎么办!!但持续的修持,对上师和护法坚定的信念,即时在危机的时刻,只是单单臆念上师的样貌,就可助我们脱险!!

  24. Davin on Feb 26, 2013 at 1:07 am

    Glad that Joy is safe. It’s a miracle that she escaped with only a few bruises. Her strong guru devotion, practise the Dharma and faith in the Dharma protector have save her live. This is why we must constantly doing Dharma work, accumulating merits, purifying our negative karma and most importantly, to keep good samaya with our Guru.

  25. Angelshooi on Feb 25, 2013 at 11:57 pm

    Thanks to Seng Piow for the posting.

    First thing, when I saw in the FB, I thought of Joy, and Is she safe? I am glad that she is fine and with a few cuts and little bruises.

    Yes, without Rinpoche and Protector’s blessing and protection, Joy might have injured badly or died. Joy is very fortunate to meet and receive Rinpoche’s blessing. Take care Joy!

  26. Darren Kechara on Feb 25, 2013 at 11:53 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche & protecter! Any Rinpoche’s gift, be it presents or words of advice is very important. With strong faith in Dharma definitely everyone will get blessed and protected.

  27. Soon Huat on Feb 25, 2013 at 10:33 pm

    Yes, we should trust our Guru and Protector. Their thought is beyond our understanding. We just believe and do what has been asked by Rinpoche and follow it with heart. We will realize the purpose one day and appreciate the guidance from Rinpoche.

  28. pavara on Feb 25, 2013 at 10:17 pm

    Wow!!!!!
    It is so miraculous that Rinpoche gave Joy the computer bag to save her from the car accident.

    Rinpoche must have known that Joy was going to have a car accident so Rinpoche gave Joy the computer bag to save her life. Another thing is that how did the computer bag fly from the back seat to the steering wheel? That is another sign to show that the protector is there.

    After the incident when Joy was taken to the Bentong hospital everything happened so smoothly and there was no troubles or obstacle in Bentong. She is also lucky because there was no serious injuries or broken bones.

    This clearly shows that if we have faith in our protector and our Guru, things can go on smoothly and well. If Joy had no guru or protector she would have already died from the accident.

    This incidence tells us that our Guru always cares for us to make sure everything is alright. Thus we should have strong faith in our Guru and protector.

  29. Carmen K. on Feb 25, 2013 at 7:16 pm

    Thank you for having this post up.

    I personally ‘experienced’ this case. I do vividly remember Rinpoche warning Joy of a serious car accident that she would be facing sometime last year, and that she had to do Dharma work and watch her body, speech and mind to lessen the impact of this obstacle.

    When I heard that Joy got into a car accident recently, I was startled. Seeing the photo shows how serious the car accident was..In any case, most would’ve walked away from the accident as bad as hers with much more than cuts and bruises on the arm. What was ironic was that Rinpoche gave Joy a laptop bag 2-3 days before her accident. Out of the blue! Rinpoche could’ve given Joy anything, like a soft toy, or statue, or mala, or cards, or artwork, but it was a laptop bag that was chosen…and it was this exact laptop bag that mysteriously cushioned her during her serious accident… How… miraculous.

    I’m glad Joy lived to tell this tale, and may it too inspire others to have faith and trust in one’s guru. This is a true case of following the advice of your guru and reaping the benefits from it. The guru will do all he can to protect, bless, lessen and save you from all obstacles that you have created for yourself. May Joy also continuously learn, practise and listen to Rinpoche, so that she will be able to practise, learn and spread the Dharma for a long time to come.

  30. Wah Ying on Feb 25, 2013 at 12:20 pm

    天,看到车子毁坏的状况,一定以为司机会凶多吉少……结果,她被护法和上师救了!

    信念很重要,对上师和护法坚定的信任,让宝爱脱险。忆念上师一刻胜过持诵千万遍的佛咒……顶礼上师詹仁波切……

    人生有奇迹,看看这个诡异的红脸异域和当事人在危急时刻忆念上师,然后脱险的故事:

    How extremely fortunate to have survived from a fatal accident. GOSH!! Without protection of your guru you probably would be severely injured or even died. Never lose your guru devotion to your perfect guru. May all students have the perfect guru devotion befitting their teachers. x

  32. edward ooi on Feb 25, 2013 at 12:28 am

    Joyce was so lucky that she survived the car crash. She is so fortunate to meet Rinpoche, if she never met Rinpoche she might not be alive today. Amazingly! her empty bag for her laptop is a gift from Rinpoche became like magic, it flew to her head to protect her and after the car crash, she only have a few bruises on her hand. But most of all, I hope that is fine

  33. JP on Feb 25, 2013 at 12:14 am

    Joy,

    I was so relieved that you survived this accident. When I went on site to see your car, I thought you’d be seriously injured. I truly believe that it was Rinpoche’s blessings that saved your life and lessened the injury.

    I’m glad that you’re alive to relate this story to others. May this be an inspiration to others.

    Love,
    JP

  34. Louise Lee on Feb 24, 2013 at 11:45 pm

    生命来临, 每个人都回欢喜的等待与迎接。

    但是。。。。。。万一。。。。。。一天我们要离开。。。。。。你准备好了吗?

    真的会有时间准备吗? 仁波切说的对! 不要再等了, 现在就为佛法下一番苦功!虽然会是苦的, 但是看看将来,这是一份功德! 我们将会为将来, 来到克切拉的每一位带来欢喜与幸福!

  35. Low ksjb on Feb 24, 2013 at 10:53 pm

    We are glad that you are safe from that accident.Due to your sincere guru devotion,you manage to escape the accident with minimal injury.We could not escape from our past negative karma,but at least when it ripen,our dear Rinpoche could minimize the affect when we truly place our trust in him.Thank you Rinpoche for the love and caring for your students and for those in need.

  36. Chee ks on Feb 24, 2013 at 10:22 pm

    Just to share my own experience with U all,
    my family n I join kechara in 2009 march. We are very fortunate to met Rinpoche in the same month where Rinpoche give us a teaching about oracle and setrap protector practice.
    Through this teaching, I had faith with Setrap(that time I still don’t know to visualize guru n protector in one)
    After few months( even I n my wife just do some helping in wesak fair, NOT CLOSE TO RINPOCHE TO DO FULL TIME DHARMA WORK), my mother safe from a gas explosion(nearly explore).
    我很惊讶煤气头已经燒熔了,竟然没爆炸。我萬分深信这是上師,護法的護佑。

    Chee ks

  37. yenpin on Feb 24, 2013 at 7:06 pm

    仁波切一直在我们身边,保护,关心和爱护我们
    能想象一下,如果在这场车祸中,没有上师的保护和护法加持。会如此幸运吗?
    要好好感谢上师,护法的加持,逃过一劫。

  38. Girlie OOI on Feb 24, 2013 at 5:18 pm

    When I heard that Joy had an accident and then saw the picture of her car in the ditch, the first thought that came to my mind was .. Is she ok? That looks bad!

    Joy had landed in a ditch before and she also escaped unhurt.

    Thank Buddha Joy escaped unscathed. A few scratches is nothing.

  39. Lucas Roth on Feb 24, 2013 at 4:24 pm

    Rinpoche is a living Buddha and i love him, i am sure all of kechara loves him too. He is very good for us but we must be good to him, he is truly a blessing and overall a good man. we have to appreciate him while he is here. Please live long Rinpoche, so you can teach us the dharma and spread it so it will last to the end of samsara.

  40. auchan on Feb 24, 2013 at 3:54 pm

    anumodana..i really touched and happy for you to be alive and Dharma protect you..sadhu3

  41. Andrew Boon on Feb 24, 2013 at 2:45 pm

    This is quite an incredible account… it is almost surreal seeing Joy after the accident after getting the horrific updates via whatsapp of the pictures of her car in the ditch. It somehow did not “match” but I was happy she escaped with just very minor scratches.

    What we can certainly learn from Joy is the devotion she has for Rinpoche which undoubtedly keeps her safe.

    We have to understand Rinpoche does not work on a whim or fancy, Rinpoche works on our karma and merits with him… Hence as students our samaya has to be clean and that we follow Rinpoche’s intructions to a tee for us to be “protected”.

    One may ask, why is it that some students seemingly receive more? It is most certainly their merits and connection with Rinpoche from this and a previous life. However this is like money in a bank account, we cannot just bank on this alone… the merits need to be replenished or we may end up quite the opposite and our karma would inevitable pull us away from Rinpoche. Like I mentioned earlier, it certainly is not what Rinpoche would like but if we do not have the karma for Rinpoche to help us, we are left to our negative karma ripening.

    How we replenish this merit account is to do Dharma work well and follow Rinpoche’s advice however mundane our deluded minds seems to think it is. There is nothing Rinpoche does without a reason!

  42. Jessica Yap on Feb 24, 2013 at 2:05 pm

    OH MY!!! Thank Buddha you’re okay Joy! The accident looks scary. Luckily you were not tossed outta the car. And you’re also lucky to have Rinpoche and Protector to help you through this accident. You’re blessed in a way! Can you imagine if you were to get involved in an accident without the Guru and the Protector? I shudder at the thought of it! Thank Buddha you’re okay now! A few scratches in return for a life is okay. hehe
    Hope you’re keeping well, JoyJoy!

    Thank you for sharing, Rinpoche!

  43. Albert Ratchaga on Feb 24, 2013 at 3:23 am

    Is this coincident? or is this the power of blessing? This is definitely a debatable topic as we never saw how an enlightened being blessed us, but what if this ‘coincident’ happen to a person few times and also happened to other people many times, is this coincident still or there is something behind that we need to realize?

    The assistant who are around Tsem Rinpoche saw this miracle happened many times, this is due to Rinpoche’s extreme care and kindness. Rinpoche cared for everyone no matter who you are.

    Joy is definitely very fortunate, because from Rinpoche and protector’s blessing, Joy got her life saved and just only a minor accident. I’m glad that Joy made it, it is a chance for us to continue into Dharma practice.

  44. Felix Kong on Feb 24, 2013 at 2:22 am

    How fortunate that Joy have protection from Rinpoche and protector , so she can escape from any injured or death in this accident.I’m believe too that Joy had been done a lot of good things and collect good karma , that why can easily passed this accident.

  45. Erickksiow on Feb 24, 2013 at 1:25 am

    Glad to know that Joy is fine, and Thank You Rinpoche for always caring everyone of us.

    Best Regards: Eric kksiow

  46. Lim Han Nee on Feb 23, 2013 at 10:19 pm

    Her car lost control and she slammed into a ditch. She closed her eyes and placed all her faith and her prayers in Rinpoche and the Protector.

    Next minute when she opened her eyes, she found that the window next to her had been completely smashed. Yet she was being cushioned by a laptop bag! No ordinary bag! It was the bag that held the laptop which Rinpoche had gifted her just two nights ago!

    Joy’s experience of what could have been a fatal accident for her, proves yet again how important it is that one has Guru Devotion and clean samaya with one’s guru. Nothing is more important than Dharma practice and doing Dharma work.

    I saw Joy yesterday in KFR and I was amazed that she had only minor scratches on her right hand. As if the accident didnt happen. Since I knew her, this is the second time I hear of her being in an accident. The first time was somewhere near Damansara. How truly blessed and protected you are Joy! You are right! We should always cherish, trust and surrender to our Guru as He knows best unlike us. As always, Rinpoche only want the best for us so that we can surrender and go all the way for Dharma and not take things lightly. Yours is one of the perfect example. You went all the way and received much blessings. And yes again, may we never be separated from the perfect Guru in all lives and always receive His unconditional love shown in many many ways! Am glad you are okay Joy!

  48. Ong Moh Mei on Feb 23, 2013 at 5:41 pm

    I rejoice that Joy is still with us today. Our Guru’s compassion and care knows no bound. He is always looking after us and protecting us whether we know it or not. Joy has great merit to be able to think of Rinpoche (and Protector) when the accident was happening.

  49. jennifer on Feb 23, 2013 at 5:14 pm

    There are so many many miracles that Rinpoche has performed over the years and each and every miracle is truly amazing !
    Reading the post on Joy’s accident and how she came out unscathed is totally miraculous !!!
    I do not believe in coincidences , but i believe very strongly in Faith and Trust, which is what Joy has . Joy’s deep faith and trust in Rinpoche has saved her.
    When we have the karma and merits to practise the Dharma and we have full faith and trust in our Guru and our Protectors, we will be saved at ALL levels ! In this lifetime and in our future lives.
    I am so overwhelmed with relief that Joy is fine.
    Thank you so much Rinpoche for always looking out for us, loving us and protecting us . Thank you Rinpoche for saving Joy.

  50. James Long on Feb 23, 2013 at 4:36 pm

    是的,正如大家说的一样,这已经不是第一次仁波切救了 Joy 的一生,早前的她活在日日笙歌的日子,长久下来也会变成活死人,这并不代表任何病痛,而是生活已无目标了。

    一旦生命失去了目标,失去了目的,我们已经开始死亡了,死亡开始于我们停止进步,停止往前走。仁波切的出现帮助我们前进,给与了我们生命的意义。

    不了解的人会觉得听从上师的话是中迷信,可是我们不也听从大学的讲师、家人、妻子、老板的话?难不成我们个个都是迷信之人吗?如果对我们生命有帮助的何不去试试?做了未必成功,但不做铁定是失败。

  51. mitra on Feb 23, 2013 at 3:20 pm

    Rinpoche for always be around us to protect, care and love us!Joy,

    We’re so glad you’re okay!!!

  52. Paris on Feb 23, 2013 at 1:40 pm

    I am sitting in front of Joy now and we have even been talking about her wedding a few years ago… it’s almost spooky that I can be sitting in front of her right now and she’s in perfectly good health, with only a slight scar on her arm. Any other accident like that – on a dangerously wet and winding road and with such a light car – would have been an instant death knell for most people. The miracle of her laptop bag cushioning her head seems far too coincidental to be just a coincidence; sometimes, you don’t believe in miracles until you see one right before your eyes.

    I had written privately to Rinpoche about this accident and how miraculous it is that Joy got away with only a few scratches. Rinpoche replied, “For many, being near the lama will open up other good karmas inclusive of protection. It is important to make dharma our priority then the blessings will open up seeds and plant further seeds.”

    I like what Sharon has said – that it doesn’t mean that we become invincible, but we have this opportunity to open up the good karmic imprints for us to remain always on the path and have all the necessary conditions to continue (health, safety, protection, material resources etc). The Lama opens up his whole life – home, teachings, support – for no one but us. For what he gives out to his students and for the incredible lifetime of protection, he gets back very, very little from us.

  53. patsy on Feb 23, 2013 at 1:13 pm

    Looking at the picture of the overturned car, it’s a miracle that Joy escaped with only a few bruises. Joy has been one of Rinpoche’s long time student and her strong guru devotion and trust in the dharma protector has helped her collected the merits to be saved many times by Rinpoche.

    Joy is a good example to show us how a Guru’s blessings work if we have strong guru devotion.

  54. Joy on Feb 23, 2013 at 12:56 pm

    All I can say is please please always listen to Rinpoche’s advice and instructions and follow it to a “T” and never take anything lightly or for granted and make excuses to to fulfill them. Rinpoche has reasons for asking us to do something. It is easier for Rinpoche to help and bless us if we listen without any form of resistance and just completely trust and surrender… surrender means let go of your own projected concepts… in other words your own reasons and excuses. Just follow 100%.

    If you have met and Guru that can teach you the Dharma as directly as Rinpoche, treasure and cherish it with your life. Rinpoche does not need anything from us, but we need Rinpoche very much. Everything that Rinpoche has done for me, my family, Justin and His students and friends is always about how He can help or benefit them. Sometimes Rinpoche think for days to help his students and think of methods to make them wake up or encourage them to improve. EVerything Rinpoche has created and set up for us is ways to collect enormous amounts of merits and from there to understand Dharma. Those who are in Rinpoche’s mandala are so fortunate… it is likened to being a protected meritorious space. Rinpoche have told us many times if you think that you are entering Vajrayogini’s mandala everyday when you come in to work in my house, you will receive the blessing of Vajrayogini. If you think it is just an ordinary place then you will just receive worldly benefits and nothing more. So really it is your perspective, your understanding of Dharma and your merits to stay near or to leave the mandala… it is based on you. So do not take it for granted if you have this great opportunity… never trick and cheat yourself in to going to the lower realms… it is not worth it!

    • abby f on Feb 27, 2013 at 6:32 pm

      Thank you Joy for sharing your own experience about what surrender to Guru means with us. What it takes is just follow the instructions and do it. And because of the faith Joy has with Rinpoche, Joy is OK now and she is able to continue with her Dharma work to help many. Joy has the merits to be saved by Rinpoche and the Protector as she works closely with Rinpoche for many years. Joy uses her talent to help spread Dharma which is very meritorious. We all are glad that Joy is fine.

  55. Jean Ai on Feb 23, 2013 at 12:50 pm

    Like Joy said, this is not the first time Rinpoche has saved her from a car accident. But this is also not the first time ever that Rinpoche has saved her – over a decade ago, when Rinpoche first met Joy and her late husband Justin, Rinpoche also saved them from the hedonistic partying lifestyle they were leading.

    I think what we need to realise is, Rinpoche doesn’t just save us physically in the way of preventing car accidents but also mentally. For all of us, our lives would be very different, and much worse off if we had not met Rinpoche. And understanding how Rinpoche has benefited us should motivate us to work even harder, to help Rinpoche grow in renown so that he can help others too…since at the present we ourselves cannot help others to the extent that Rinpoche can ease others sufferings, that would be the compassionate thing for us to do!

  56. hecelus tan on Feb 23, 2013 at 12:25 pm

    If we see our Guru as a Buddha,then we received the blessing of a Buddha.So I think this is the essence of Vajrayana Buddhism.Like Joy,she can be safe from this seriously accident is all because of pure Guru Devotion.We should never ever have any doubt on our spiritual teacher because this may blocked the blessing from our Guru.Joy really is a good example that showed us how Guru’s blessing works.

  57. sarahyap on Feb 23, 2013 at 12:09 pm

    It truly was a strange day when the accident happened.

    All of us was already up on KFR and we felt uncomfortable that Joy have not arrived in KFR already. So David gave her a call to see if she is ok. Later I found out that David called her just moments after her accident, that she could not reach her phone as it flew out of the car. It was only a few minutes later after she crawled out of the car that she got hold of her phone and returned David’s call, and told us she had an accident. Immediately Li Kim mobilized 3 people to go down to Genting Sempah to help Joy.

    When Joy returned to KFR after going to the hospital, (they did an X-ray just to make sure everything is ok) I asked Joy what happened. She told me that she was going down the slope and suddenly her car lost control. She knew she could not get her car in control at that moment, so she closed her eyes and think of her Guru and protector… The next thing she knew, she opened her eyes and found that the computer bag that Rinpoche gave her a few days ago protected her head. If you see the picture, the glass was shattered to pieces… how the computer bag ended up right next to Joy’s head, protecting her… now that’s amazing.

    This is not the first time Joy had a major accident, and coming out of the accident with just scratches here and there. There was another major accident when she drove down a large drain and her car stopped just inches away from the concrete wall…

    Joy is one of Rinpoche’s oldest students… she has been very close with Rinpoche for many years. If there was one person that she love and trust it is Rinpoche, without a doubt. Most of Rinpoche’s Buddha statues are painted by Joy and even the beads are done by her. To have such a tremendous merit to be close and serve one’s Guru, and at the same time to have such strong Guru devotion to one’s Guru… I believe it is from all her actions of following Rinpoche’s advice to her, which ultimately saved her life so that she can continue to do Dharma.

  58. philyong on Feb 23, 2013 at 11:43 am

    This accident not only shows that Joy is safe and there are miracles..it also shows that Joy has transformed. She did not let her attachments take over hence she is safe as she walked out of that car with just a few scratch marks. There are Protectors or Guardian Angels or however you want to call them. These Protectors are always watching over us. But like Rinpoche always says, if we do not have the karma, no matter how much our Protector or Guru tries to help us, it will not work. Not that, they do not have the capability but because we do not have the karma to receive help.

    Luckily for us, however we want our karma to be is entirely up to us. Basically, we choose our path. Good or bad karma, its all in our hands. I am glad Joy chose the good path that has ensured that she is safe always under the protection of Rinpoche and her Protector. Thank you Joy for also showing a good example to all of us.

    • henry ooi on Feb 25, 2013 at 4:25 pm

      Yes, Phil, Rinpoche has taught this over and over again.

      It really was a miracle after I saw only light cuts and bruises on Joy’s arms, hands and legs.

      Our life can be so fragile and can be snuffed out in an instant.

  59. Sharon Saw on Feb 23, 2013 at 11:07 am

    I must say that when i first saw the car in the ditch, i was quite shaken because it would have been a miracle for someone to walk away from it but Joy did! As you can see, she just had some bruises and scratches! I had fallen down the week before and i had more injuries than she did! This is truly the result of Joy’s refuge in Rinpoche which gave her the best protection anyone could have.

    On a personal note, there was once when Pastor Susan and I were driving to Singapore and i messaged Rinpoche to let him know that we were leaving KL as was our usual practice, and he said have a good trip and remember to check your tires. He had never told us to check our tires before so Susan and I looked at each other and thought let’s pull into the next petrol station. True enough, our car’s tire pressure was almost dangerously low. So it was lucky that we had the good karma to receive Rinpoche’s advice and that we paid attention to it!

    Of course it does not mean that if you are near Rinpoche and doing Dharma work that you become invincible. It just means that if you have the karma and merits to be safe, Rinpoche will do anything he can to ensure your safety. However, if we do not keep good samaya (relationship) with Rinpoche, then Rinpoche cannot help us. It is not that he does not want to help us but that our negative karma will stop him from helping. This is why we must constantly work on purifying our negative karma, accumulating merits and most importantly, to keep good samaya with our Guru.

  60. Jim Yeh on Feb 23, 2013 at 11:05 am

    Joy,

    We’re so glad you’re okay!!!

  61. David Lai on Feb 23, 2013 at 10:56 am

    This is one of many incredible stories of people who were directly and indirectly assisted by Rinpoche. There’s a whole graphic novel, which is just a handful of the amazing and dramatic ways in which Rinpoche assists people. The blessings of a lama comes particularly if we have merits created to help us.

    Joy had been with Rinpoche for little under a decade now and she had been serving Rinpoche with her art, her dedication, prayers and hard work. She had her shortcomings like everybody else and it is through such powerful experience that it has changed her and she’s slowly but surely able to transform her shortcomings to be of assistance towards others. I rejoice for her that she’s able to help others with her art and Dharma work.

  62. Martin on Feb 23, 2013 at 10:37 am

    Everything about the accident was surreal and it was like, if an accident had to happen to Joy, then by some divine intervention, it happened in the best possible way. It was as if everything was already in place waiting to mitigate the danger and inconvenience of such an accident. But then again, when you are as close to Rinpoche as Joy is, you know that Rinpoche is always looking out for you and often without you knowing about it. Many have been witnesses to these miracles although Rinpoche never personally speaks about them. In Vajrayana, we see the Guru as the Buddha and by that way, the blessings and protection of the Guru is maximised and over time, you begin to realize that it is more than just a visualization.

    Joy spends a lot of her time painting Rinpoche’s statues, adorning them with jewels and precious stones and there is so much merits to be gained through such Dharmic acts. It is a wonder why more people are not queueing to serve the Guru and the Dharma in similar ways and build up a tremendously good karma bank account.

  63. Lim (KH JB) on Feb 23, 2013 at 6:15 am

    Thanks Rinpoche for always be around us to protect, care and love us!

    Joy show us the good example that always hold Guru samaya strongly can always protect us.

    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.

    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.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    The Flatwoods monster in West Virginia folklore, is a creature reported to have been sighted in the town of Flatwoods in Braxton County, West Virginia Flatwoods monsters are aliens described as hovering creatures with glowing purple eye. Since tales about this creature, it has become one of the most famous legends in modern memory. Although the Monster has not been seen since its impact on the rural community has been huge. Many of the eye witnesses came up stories concluded that the shape, movement, and sounds due to the nature of the sighting. Description by eye witness varied, some said is unidentified flying object (UFO) . There’s no hard evidence to support the true nature . Interesting article.

    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 .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    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.
    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
