Rinpoche saving lives in hospitals | 仁波切在医院济生
（译文请往下阅读）
(by Pastor Loh Seng Piow)
Over the years, His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche has been to many hospitals, doing prayers, performing rituals, giving comfort to the sick, and relieving the worries of the families. The ones on the sick bed could be babies… born with defective organs desperately needing operation, young children, adult men and women with all sorts of illnesses, and dying old people.
Rinpoche is clairvoyant to know whether the person on the sick bed is going to survive or not, so the prayers and rituals that Rinpoche performs varies based on that.
For those who still have the karma to live but are facing obstacles, Rinpoche will perform rituals that will clear their obstacles for a smoother operation and treatment, and they always came out healed from the operation theater; while for those whose time in this life is coming to an end, Rinpoche would perform prayers and rituals that would bless their mind to have a swift and good rebirth.
Rinpoche truly emobodies the qualities of a Bodhisattva as in Shantideva’s Dedication Prayer:
“May all who are sick and ill,
Quickly be freed from their ailments.
Whatever diseases there are in the world,
May they never occur again.”
这些年来，尊贵的詹杜固仁波切到过许多医院为病患者作法事、祈愿，和慰问他们和家人。躺在病床上的，包括天生有缺陷的婴儿、孩童、成年人，和时日不多的老年人。仁波切有神通，能预知病人是否能捱过这一关，对于那些生命能够延续的，仁波切将为他们做法事消除业障；而对一些生命已经走到尽头的，仁波切将加持他们，让他们能够有个善终和好的转世。
仁波切的菩萨行，正如寂天菩萨回向文里的
“愿诸病有情，速脱疾病苦！亦愿众生疾，毕竟永不生！”

Very selfless and compassion in action. Rinpoche was kind anytime day or night.
For anyone who is sick we should have compassion and take care of them. It’ comforting knowing Rinpoche would take the time to bless even the sick and dying.
My dearest Guru is always selfless,caring,kind,compassionate,helpful,
supportive,protective,sincere,and actively going all out to care for others,regardless of who they are. Rinpoche is always able to walk the talk. A real precious gem _/\_
Rinpoche paid a visit to my mother a short while before she passed away as can be seen in the third picture above.
But long before this, Rinpoche was there already guiding and advising my sister and I what to do for our mother. 7 months before she passed away, my mother had suffered a mild stroke. Immediately Rinpoche clicked in and started us on pujas and prayers for her as well as making offerings of statues for her. As a result, my mother had a very gentle and gradual decline of health and mobility all the way to the end. Even in the last 3 weeks when she had to be on drips, my Guru and Dorje Shugden saw to it, that everything was there in place for her. She didn’t have to go to hospital. A relative, a doctor, set up the drip and came to see her every morning.
I love my guru for his infinite compassion and care for all. There are so many instances of Rinpoche’s love and care for my mum. But this one stands out for me at this moment in time. In the last weeks of her life, my mum had lost her power of speech. One morning, she started to cry. Tears ran down the corner of an eye. Helpless, as I didn’t know what had caused her to cry, I quickly called up Rinpoche’s personal assistant for advice. Immediately Rinpoche came on the line with the following most compassionate advice. ‘
“Talk to her gently and tell her that she will be together with your dad soon. (This was something only Rinpoche with his sharp perception, insight and empathy could apprehend – my mum had never let go of her clinging to my dad’s memory since he passed away over 50 years ago. She kept telling us that she saw my dad in her dreams and they talked and had long conversations with each other.)
“ Tell her, that you all will be alright and can take care of one another. Tell her it’s okay for her to go and be with your dad. You and I know this doesn’t happen, but it will ease her mind and stop her fears and her worries”.
I talked to my mum and relayed the exact words of Rinpoche to her. With that she immediately stopped tearing! How wonderfully understanding and compassionate my guru, Tsem Rinpoche, is!
Dear Pastor Seng Piow, Thank you for the beautiful pictures. I personally went with Rinpoche many times see people. Rinpoche is very kind at middle of the night or anytime if Rinpoche feels, that person need help Rinpoche always there to help. it is heartfelt experience to see how happy people to see Rinpoche to be there help….
The image of Rinpoche praying and consoling the sick remind of the scenario that Buddha showed care to an ill monk. ~ “He who attends on the sick attends on me,” that was what buddha said.
The hospital is a place we all avoid to go because it is a reminder of the nature of samsara…the nature of our existence: illness, old age and death.
As family members age, I have been visiting the hospital more just to accompany my older relatives on the routine check ups etc. It is not comfortable to see life in its less glorious but very truthful form stare me in the eye. It is humbling and a jolt to make different choices because LIFE IS SHORT. Literally.
Rinpoche visits hospital because Rinpoche knows that this is where life happens and this is where beings are scared, alone and helpless. We get “up close and personal” with the fragility of ourselves. Rinpoche offers some relief and a lot of hope to those in pain, in fear and vulnerable. And Rinpoche does this quietly and consistently throughout his life. I have personally gone to such visits with Rinpoche and my family has personally benefitted from receiving such visits.
I learn from Rinpoche that gestures of kindness goes a long way from Rinpoche. I learn from Rinpoche that I too can take action because every act of kindness matters and impacts.
Thank you Pastor Seng Piow for sharing these pictures and information.
Rinpoche works tirelessly to benefit people. Any time, night or day, Rinpoche will do what ever He can to benefit someone in need.
How fortunate to be close to such a holy being.
Thank You Rinpoche for always showing us the best example.
I remember receiving news from senior students who are always with Rinpoche that even late in the midnight, Rinpoche will also be going to hospital to help those in urgent need no matter how tired is Rinpoche. This is the dharma that Rinpoche is teaching us, Dharma in action. Now Rinpoche has trained up a group of pastors who are doing the same in helping others and they are running around the whole Malaysia to help others and applying the Dharma in action that Rinpoche taught us.
Thank you Rinpoche for showing us what a true Dharma is.
I know Rinpoche since 2006, on every occasion that I was fortunate enough to attend, such as public Dharma talks or in smaller group teachings, Rinpoche always very caring and will ensure we are comfortable. Rinpoche will generously feed us and gifted us with gifts that he carefully selected.
Whenever Rinpoche find out someone is not well, he will ensure we are being taken care of. Rinpoche visits sick students or relatives in hospitals whenever he sees the needs. He also attend wakes to console the students and their family.
Rinpoche’s actions are purely to benefit others. He cares for all including animals. Rinpoche’s compassion is boundless, a true Bodhisattva’s virtue.
I had the honour and privilege to be other students who accompanied Rinpoche to some of the visits to hospitals, homes and funeral parlours. Rinpoche not only did pujas but consoled and gave dharma teaching to the next of kins of those who were ill and of those who passed on. For those when Rinpoche was not physically able to go Rinpoche gave advices to students who conducted the pujas and conveyed Rinpoche’s messages. Rinpoche’s compassion has no boundaries.
Thank you Pastor Seng Piow for always sharing Rinpoche’s behind the scenes’ stories.
I have heard and read many stories that no matter how busy or tired Rinpoche is, He would always take time to take care of everyone around Him. Besides blessing the sick, He would bless animals, the healthy, those in need, the poor, anyone!
As always, Rinpoche always inspire many of us to be just what He taught us. To be kind, caring, loving, compassionate, giving, love and be better.
Thank you Rinpoche for your ever kind and loving guidance!
Thank you Pastor Seng Piow for this beautiful articles on how our guru saved many people’s lives. My brother was one of them. That was many years back and Rinpoche knewly know me. When Rinpoche heard about my brother was in coma in the hospital, immediately He gave a list of intructions such as pujas, animal liberations, candle offerings and offering Buddha statues to be done for my brother. Lots of black tea and prayers to Protector I did at home for my brother which was instructed by Rinpoche. Rinpoche personally chose the Buddha statues of me and those who received the statues will offered 100,000 long life mantra to my brother. It was very critical as the doctor do not know what happened to my brother. It was amazing one month later my brother walked out from the hospital. I will never forget how this actually happened. Rinpoche constantly care and love us and our loved ones. I am always grateful to have a Guru like Rinpoche and may I never parted from Rinpoche for this life and mane lives to come. We are very fortunate to be near Rinpoche. Rinpoche is a bodhisattva on earth.
Witness Rinpoche visiting people in hospital many time since I met him 18 years ago. Rinpoche always reminds us don’t forget those are sick,we must take care of them. Rinpoche always there who need his help. Even he can’t be there for hospital visit, he will arrange puja if necessary, making candle offering and he will personal did prayer for the person who was sick.
Rinpoche is a real lifesaver. Sometimes the situation is really serious, so serious it is that the doctors are helpless. But after Rinpoche comes and does prayers the situation improves. In one case someone had cancer, the cancer had developed so much that there was no cure. It was said that the person had only three more months to live. The person son asked Rinpoche for advice, and the student following what Rinpoche said, did what he was told to do. And in less than three months the cancer cell was gone. The odds of this happening is 1 in 1 million. If Rinpoche had not come to the rescue the the person would not have survived the odds.
There are many more miracles that Rinpoche does everyday, not just saving lives but also clearing obstacles.
Rinpoche is the best doctor that i can think of and if you think of it no doctors could equal what he did.
Those pictures above are the reality of what Rinpoche always do out of his compassion heart. Rinpoche doesn’t just teach through his dharma talk but Rinpoche walk the talk. Rinpoche cares and love for people is very thorough. I’m fortunate enough to witness how Rinpoche shower his cares to the people unconditionally. Rinpoche will plan everything and make sure we execute as plan and this is a very good training for us.
Rinpoche show us how with dharma we can help people not only benefiting them just for this life but also their next rebirth. Many people have been benefitted from Rinpoche cares and loves be it near or far and those who have left or still around, Rinpoche will always use his skilful means to reach out.
Quite often these hospital visits are during early hours. This is because Rinpoche has just so many things to attend to during the day. Although Rinpoche would have been so so tired by then (many of us after a long day at work would just want to jump into bed), he would still insist on making the hospital visit. Prayers for the sick help both caregiver and patient because by just Rinpoche’s visit, it not only benefits the patient but also has immense therapeutic effect on the family members and gives them comfort and hope.
Whether Rinpoche is teaching on the throne expounding his immense wisdom and knowledge or simply walking around (or so it seems to some people), he is always teaching through his powerful compassion and skillful means.
A picture speaks a thousand words. Rinpoche cares whether you are near or far. Rinpoche will ask about you and takes note of your well-being despite being very busy with a lot of work and responsibilities. Thank you, Rinpoche.
感激尊贵的仁波切一直以来所付出的关怀，爱心，慈悲心来利益一切的众生。
感激尊贵的仁波切一直以来所付出的关怀,慈悲心，爱心帮助有需要的人以及利益一切的众生。
It brought tears in my eyes and felt deep smile in my heart to know Rinpoche rendering compassion to ones who are sick…what could be more inspiring than this genuine kindness, rinpoche have always embraced all of us with immense compassion, love and with your generous care we are proud and happy to have you in this life, may Tsem rinpoche live long because the world need tsem rinpoche. _()_
Thank you to Pastor Seng Piow for sharing this marvelous article. It is indeed heart warming and how our ego is cut through Rinpoche’s act of compassion, kindness and care to all sentient beings.
Thank you.

I have to think very hard on the words to use to make this comment in order to share here how it feels like to have Rinpoche’s prayers and blessings; gentle and comforting sound of his voice; the sincere care and love; the warmest and most magical hugs; just the very presence of Rinpoche by our side during the most needed time of our crisis. Rinpoche’s blessings and care have the ability to lift away the most heavy worries in the heart, the most confusing and disturbing state of the mind or even the most painful physical conditions. It is almost like Rinpoche absorbed it all onto himself selflessly ! This must be an act of a Buddha !
Thank you dearest Rinpoche
With folded hands always , grace
I think this world doesn’t need anything more than buddhas.
Thank you Pastor Loh Seng Piow for sharing with us. Thank you Rinpoche for teaching us about compassion by walking the talk.
These pictures are an amazing testament to Rinpoche’s compassion. It kinda reminds me of the Buddha always taking it upon himself to take care of the sick. The Buddha made it a commitment for his followers to always care for the sick. He has made it a commitment because he wanted to made a point to put into practice compassion. Thus Rinpoche and the Buddha have set a precedence for his future followers to care for those who are sick and dying. There’s much more than the pictures and I personally have seen Rinpoche have made arrangements for people who are sick to be cared throughout Kechara organization.
There are so many variations of people who have problems with their health due to variations of karma, some do get healed, some live, some get better but no matter what the next stage is, once Rinpoche goes to bless them they next step will be a better one 🙂
I do not see many people do this, more likely none at all. Rinpoche would tirelessly make his way to the hospital whether feeling in good health or not, no matter what time it is, Rinpoche would know when it is the right time to go visit and make the necessary visits. Rinpoche is truly one of the most compassionate person in the world. Thank you Rinpoche for always inspiring us to be better. I hope Rinpoche is feeling well.
As usual, Rinpoche will never forget about doing prayer for others, He always pray for other’s suffering comes to him in the form of sickness, well, guess what? He got it, Rinpoche has not been feeling well since years ago, and why is he still continue doing all these.. reason being is because he only wanted to benefit the sentient beings, he want to use his limited life to serve and benefit as many people as possible.. nothing else he wishes for, thats why rinpoche always goes to hospital and funerals to do prayer and to bless the sick or deceased..
Rinpoche need not publicize the good deeds and the love and care that He shows. IN due time, those lives who were touched by RInpoche’s kindness would be known far and wide.
How many people we know who are always consistent and shows love and truly cares for us tirelessly 24/7? Some might answer that our parents’ love would suffice but we tend to forget that our parents’ love would end this lifetime together with us.
Our kind Guru’s love would care for us in our future lives if we have taken refuge and keep our samaya clean.
When one is on the sick bed, most of them would be depressed, too weak or just not motivated to keep fighting for their lives. With RInpoche around, the love and kindness that RInpoche brings with HIm to the sick and their families is just priceless! RInpoche’s love transcends time and place as Rinpoche helps plan seed and prepare us to meet the Dharma in future lives and to be protected by the 3 Jewels always.
Rinpoche is a true Bodhisattva! If it isn’t because of RInpoche’s kindness to stay in Malaysia and build Kechara, all of us would still be drowning in the sea of ignorance..
If what RInpoche is doing isn’t right, Kechara wouldn’t be where we are today.. =)
Thank you for sharing, Seng Piow. I always enjoy stories from Rinpoche’s POs as the stories are 100% authentic and not hearsay or rumors.
Thank you, RInpoche.
Honestly , if someone calling you for help during midnight, will you help them or just continue enjoy your sweet dream? Rinpoche really compassion and caring to all sentient beings , Rinpoche always giving help and benefit others no matter in anytime or anywhere. Thank you Rinpoche.
Thank you Seng Piow for the sharing.We could not deny that our Guru is very generous and compassionate.He would put his students welfare the up most priority above himself all the time.
Our guru will always give assistance ,even for those he hardly know,if they had the merit to meet up with him.
We are so fortunate to be give the merit to learn and given a chance to practice Dharma from a real living Bodhisattva ,during our life time.
Thank you Rinpoche for your kind guidance.May we be granted the wisdom to follow the true path of the Dharma and gain the most precious gift of mind transformation.
Rinpoche is so caring and thoughtful, hehe even my brother is there. when someone is in need he is there. there to bless you and be there for you. thank you Rinpoche for being there for all of us.
Thanks, Seng Piow, for these well taken pics and true accounts of some of the dharma work Rinpoche did, still doing and will do to help and alleviate the physical, emotional and spiritual suffering of all beings. Not to mention, the highest deed of all, teaching dharma.
We are blessed enough to have a true Guru-Tsem Tulku Rinpoche with full compassion in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Kechara House. Rinpoche always put other in priority regardless their races, age, status…etc . Rinpoche always show care and love to those in need.where can find such great Guru who is close to us ??? We are really blessed.
For these fine attitudes of compassion and loving-kindness, which Rinpoche has, are deeply felt by the Mind that cannot bear the sufferings of others, and long for them to be freed from it! But, as said, this leads to attaining great strength of character, courage and enthusiasm, which proves one’s own practice of having cultivated an awakening Buddha’s mind. It is also emphasized that cultivating this type of mind must be pure in the sense of having no concern for “oneself” and an unmarred concern for others. As quoted: “To develope this mind-state of compassion…..is to learn to live, as Buddha put it, with sympathy for all living beings, without exception.” Om mani padmi hum.
Rinpoche is always caring, not only towards his students who are nearby but also to those who live far away.
Thank you SP for posting this article; it serves to confirm what we all know of Rinpoche’s care, love, and kindness to one and all.
Rinpoche has always showed deep care towards others, and most of the time Rinpoche would not publicize these actions. If it was not for people like Seng Piow, Joy etc, we would probably not know how much Rinpoche does to help others.
Knowing how kind and compassionate our Guru is, we should always remind ourselves to never take our Guru for granted and appreciate Him always.
Thank you Seng Piow for all your work to share with us on Rinpoche’s kindness and compassion for those who are suffering in their times of death or suffering during their times of illness. No one would like to endure the pain and uncomfortable feelings/ conditions during the illness and death. Rinpoche understands this more than many of us and untiringly perform many rituals and prayers to those who really need it. Thank you Rinpoche and may we pray everyone who has come to this blog will be your thousands arms to spread the Dharma and benefits many others around the world.
Rinpoche really cares for each and everyone of us, untiringly. We are truly very very fortunate and bless to meet with Rinpoche.
“May all who are sick and ill,
Quickly be freed from their ailments.
Whatever diseases there are in the world,
May they never occur again.”
很感恩仁波切的大慈大悲，救苦救难，普渡众生。仁波切大公无私的为大众付出，不求回报，只求我们修学佛法，累积功德和弘扬佛法。其实仁波切的神通显示也灵，对他更不利，因为仁波切要承担苦难者所面对的业障，仁波切一向无私的保护众生与教诲我们而忽略了自己。各为同修们我们也要保护与关爱着我们的上师，同心协力为克切拉团体和上师付出，弘扬佛法。创造克切拉传奇。
祈愿每项法会诚心回向给仁波切长驻在世常转法轮。
看了这组照片，感动万分！认同Sun Sun说的，我们上辈子修来的福，能够成为上师的弟子。慈悲，善巧，细心，无私，大爱，坚毅，守承诺。。。。。。还有很多很多好的特质，他就是我们敬爱的上师。但师父说过，有好的上师教导，如果众生无心向佛，没有把佛法实践在生活上，单靠上师的力量，弘扬佛法到世界每个角落，也只是空谈！听了师父的教诲，现在强逼自己，每天做好自己的本份，从做早课开始，每星期参与法会。唯有自我改变，遵照师父的教导，把佛法实践在生活中，学佛的路才能走的更远。感谢师父的教诲，无私的爱与关怀，以爱照亮众生。
I’m very touched while looking through the photos, I suddenly feel that life is so fragile, people will just go anywhere anytime. These people including myself were very lucky to have met H.E. Tsem Rinpoche, or I won’t be here writing out my feeling. Thank You for sharing Seng Piow.
It’s not often that people would purposely make a visit to the hospital to comfort a friend/relative, giving various excuses such as that it’s not hygienic to be in the hospital/a lot of bad energies in the hospital and all.
For Rinpoche to personally get down and pay visits to those in need is indeed a lesson for all, that we should make time and effort for loved ones unfortunately in hospitals, without any excuses.
Rinpoche is always so caring towards his students and anyone around him. Even if Rinpoche does not know the person on a personal level, he blesses them anyways. He is truly an embodiment of Boddhicitta, compassion.
Thank you bro Seng Piow for sharing this.
We are so fortunate to have Rinpoche with us. Rinpoche’s love and compassion is boundless, regardless or how tired, how sick and how busy he is.
I remembered on how he visited little Gabriel and gave him Amitayu Initiation.
Rinpoche will visit the sick and needly even it is very late at night or very early in the morning. I remembered there is one time that Rinpoche went to hospital in the middle of the night to visit a couples who have just lost their babies and to give them comfort. He teaches us that to be ready every moment to help and support others.
It is such a blessing to have Rinpoche and Kechara! Thank you Rinpoche. May you live long and always turn the wheel of Dharma.
Thank you Seng Piow for posting this. Seeing my mum in the second picture,a short while before her death, my eyes are instantly flooded with tears at the incomparable kindness of Rinpoche toward my mum,my sister and i.
Seeing her clutch the newspaper,I am reminded again of how Rinpoche had described this seemingly insignificant act of my mum, as cause for us to love her more.
Not only did Rinpoche ease the burden of pain for my mum in her last days,he also made sure that my sister and I repaid the “debt” of kindness and love we owed her.
With folded hands and from the depths of my heart, I thank my precious and most compassionate Guru once again.
仁波切是非常慈悲的人。 希望仁波切可以更长寿，利益更多的人。
Rinpoche is so kind. He always care a lot for others. Rinpoche always showed us love and care to benefit others in so many different ways. We are so fortunate to have Rinpoche to teach us and to guide us. Thank you Rinpoche.
Haha, i remember when Rinpoche visited me in the hospital. I was so scared because my grandmother had just told me that if Rinpoche came, there would be something wrong and it was an emergency. But no, Rinpoche came because he cares. Rinpoche cares about everyone and i was so happy to see him that day.
Thank you SP for posting this blog. When I look at all these picture I feel very touch because our guru is always care for everyone whenever we are in a very difficult situation and he is a real bodhisattva. Rinpoche is a good example for all of us to learn how to be compassion and how to benefits others.
顶礼感恩慈悲和谦虚的上师，我们真的是修了几辈子的福，今世才能遇到我们的上师。看着这些照片自己眼眶都红了起来。大家真的要珍惜这一世和上师的缘分。好好的向上师学习。祈愿仁波切常驻在世，常转法轮，度众生无疑。
I agreed with Grace Leong on the comment “many of these “events” were not publicised or known, except for those who work very closely to assist Rinpoche.”
Tsem Rinpoche does not need to show off his clairvoyant “skills” and those who worked closely around him will know from their own experience or have seen him in action. Tsem Rinpoche truly embodies all the qualities of a true Bodhisattva.
感恩仁波切无限的爱与关怀
或许我们常会无助或彷徨，然而当您来到了这里，来到了尊贵的詹杜固仁波切的佛法中心里， 慢慢的您会发现，这些无助与彷徨的感觉会消失了，因为您能感觉到的是，无论发生什么事情或面对什么样的难题，我们的背后，我们的心中，随时随刻，都会有一位无私与大爱的仁波切在保护与教导与关爱着我们
身为仁波切的弟子，我想我们更应该把上师的这一个身体力行的教诲给延续下去，所谓延续，不应该只是帮忙宣传而已，我们更应该效法我们的上师，无私与随时的准备好自己，去关爱与帮助我们身边的每一个人及一切众生
感谢仁波切的教导，祈愿仁波切长驻在世常转法轮
Thank you Seng Piow for reminding us the kindness of our Guru. It is so important to remember these good virtues, as very often our minds choose to remember only the perceived negative ones and forget to be grateful for the simple but most meaningful acts of kindness and compassion.Especially during these moments of loss and helplessness.
Many people have benefitted from Rinpoche’s visits to the hospital or to the funerals of our dear ones, to give teachings and blessings. But many of these “events” were not publicised or known, except for those who work very closely to assist Rinpoche.
Thank you dear Rinpoche for your immense kindness and your consistent care, despite all the nonsense you receive from your students !

Thought that I would post the following which forms part of the modern Hippocratic Oath which many doctors take:
“I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.”
Rinpoche is always so caring towards ppl around Him, whether or not He knows them personally or not.
It is amazing that despite His busy schedules, he still draws time out to visit those who are in need.
We are truly blessed to have Tsem Tulku Rinpoche here in Malaysia.
