A Special Setrap meditation – inspired by Datin Jennifer Khoo
Aug 16, 2010
(By Tsem Rinpoche)
I recently found out from Jamie that her mother, Datin Jeniffer Khoo, who has been very instrumental in taking care of rescued puppies/ dogs under the Kechara banner, has been doing Setrap practice very sincerely. She has completed over 1 million Setrap mantra to date. Datin does serkym offering and approximately 100 malas of Setrap mantra daily.
I rejoice at Datin Jeniffer’s practice and hence I did a little recording to share with Datin a special Setrap meditation. I thought I’d share with everybody here as well as Setrap’s practice is very efficacious and very easy to incorporate into modern lifestyle. I thought this meditation I taught based on teachings I have received would benefit many other people. So please have a listen and try it. I wish everyone to be free of obstacles, disasters, fears and negative influences. I wish you the best. With Setrap by your side, it would be a very big help. Datin Jennifer is a kind person, so I had recorded this for her. This will benefit so many of you also.

I rejoice in Datin Jenifer’s consistency in doing her Setrap practice daily and achieving 1 million and still counting up till today I am sure. Yes Datin Jenifer really has a heart of gold and one of the most kindest, sweetest person I know who just adores doggies and would rescue and help whenever she could. She would be the best patron for Kechara Animal Sanctuary when it manifest. No doubt that every little act of kindness she does for helping a dog, she helps to create the cause for KAS to arise.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing with us what you shared with Datin on Setrap’s practice. I am sure it will help many as it would Datin Jenifer. She’s incredibly bless to have Dharmapala Lord Setrap by her side watching, protecting and guiding her.
所谓末法时代，就是信仰佛教的人数渐渐稀少，修行的人更少，修行而证圣道的人则已没有了，到最后佛法也就被世间的邪说和物欲所淹没，纵然尚有佛经存在，也没有人去信受奉行。因此，在这众生还有机会修行佛法而信仰的阶段， 要赶快努力，护持三宝，维持慧命于不堕。
尤其是我们这些天天忙碌在追求世俗和物质生活中的人，持修金甲衣护法是最适合不过了。任何持修金甲衣护法的人都会得到祂的庇佑。首先祂会带给我们物质上的需要，家庭的和气以及生意上或工作上的顺利，使得我们能够在忙碌的生活里找到修行的时间和适当的志源。祂带给我们的财富是由内至外的，是学习舍得和放下贪念的修行。
在持修的同时我们将会渐渐打开佛法的印记和善根，使得我们的福德和智慧迅速增加。加上金甲衣护法本身就是一个无边界的福田，所以很适合我们这些末法期的人来修行。我们有了深厚善根，再继续培养我们的福德和智慧，纵然是处于末法时代，而又面临了世界将坏的开始，也不必绝望，所以，此一世界的坏灭，并不等于走投无路，山穷水尽，只要有金甲衣护法的庇佑，在修行的道路上也不必太担心了。
So wonderful to hear and read about people who are kind to animals. The fortunate people who are close to their lamas they get sometimes a special prayers to do based on many factors that the lama has considered 🙂
Setrap practice is perhaps the number 1 practice for Kecharian and newbies alike. Just like when I first stated in Kechara, the protector practice is definitely the start and the middle right until we are enlightened. Setrap is quick is helping all our wishes to come true and I can vouch for it.
Lord Setrap practice is very beneficial and engaging in his retreats is even more beneficial. It is not just a retreat that one does when things go wrong. It can be performed even when things are alright and we are doing well. Why?
There’s a lot of benefits to be had when we maintain a daily sadhana and we have Setrap close by our hearts. That shows that we are sincere with our Dharma practice and we do what to effect transformation and Setrap can help us. We can also thank the Dharma Protector with a retreat and in that way get closer to Setrap.
We will always need to be close to our dharma protector till we reach enlightenment. Being close to him is kinda like having his direct line and being able to sms him for help when required!
I was already committed to vegetarian food. Today I didn’t find anthing else, and so I too a thai green curry which I ordered myself when I was still not a vegetarian and removed the meat and ate it. But probably that is as bad as if I had eaten the meat, because I bought the product. What I learned about it was that it had been totally unnessecary to ad meat to the food beacause it tasted as good without. SO I am a vegetarian, but I have to bring my own food to work and prepare it at home, for at work there is nothing vegetarian avaiable except salad. Plese don’t be annoyed with me, but give me some blessing on preparing my food without meat. Apart of thaT i would like to get rid of industriasl sugar, too.
I did the Vadjra Yoghini tea offfering four times, but I am still feeling pretty awful, so now I am now going to listen to the Setrap video and then listen to a video of Karmapa on YouTube. Love and apologies, Knut
Dear Rinpoche,
It was really a blessing for me to listen the teaching on Setrap Meditation.
I am still very new in the Setrap practice (just joining the Setrap puja session in PG group) and Rinpoche teaching had greatly deepend my insight on the visualization and focus during the Lord Setrap’s mantra recitation.
Thank You Rinpoche for the teaching and may you be bless with long live to uphold and spread Dharma to more sentinent being in order to plant seed of realization in them.
Rgds,
Andrew Chiam
I love you.
Heartiest congratulations to Datin Jennifer for her consistency in completing the 1 million Mantra of Lord Setrap. Dharmapala Lord Setrap, the wrathful manifestation of Amitaba Buddha, was first introduced at Kechara House to help clear obstacles and to bring success, harmony and peace to all Malaysians. This powerful Dharma proctector of KL Kechara house is also the enlightened Dharma protector of our renowned 600 year old Garden Shartse Monastry in south India. Grand Setrap pujas are also commonly held to herald in the new year at our Kechara house here. This is to enable our members and practitioners, together with their families and friends to collect limitless merits, blessings and protection from lord setrap. We also have programes conducting Setrap pujas in English on all mondays and in chinese language on tuesdays where Datin Jennifer’s presence were being noticed on a few occassions. Pls keep up the good pratice, Datin!
[…] parents, Datin and Datuk Khoo always find different ways to help support her daughter. When Datuk Khoo told his […]
Such a powerful talk!Thank you so much!
Setrap Practice if done with sincerity and lots of faith can solve peoples problems very quickly. Veronica Lee who recently took Refuge with Rinpoche and now his student had cancer. Before she came to Kechara House she was a very depressed person. She came for Setrap puja one day and met uncle lai who encouraged her to come for more Setrap pujas and nurtured her. She said because of the friendly attitude and warmth of Kechara members had extended to her she continued to come. She felt a much happier person after that. She attended Setrap Retreat and even do prostrations. Then one day she notice the colour of her hair has changed after her course of chemotherapy and she went for a checkup. She was very shocked when the Doc told her she has only six months to live.During this time she had applied for a job and was reqired to go for blood test. The blood test shows negative traits of any cancer cells. I believe this is to show that Setrap is powerful. Today she has started to work. She said she will tells us more soon.
please tell me everything soon at pema.choden39@yahoo.com because my uncle is also a liver cancer patient and doctor said he will live only three months
I rejoice for Datin Jennifer who has been dligently doing the holy mantra of Dharmapala Setrap and the Setrap practice daily.Through Jamie, who is a full time writer in Kechara Media Publication and also a liaison to Rinpoche, her mother, Datin jennifer, has the great opportunity to receive Lord Setrap practice from Rinpoche. It is so comforting to see how Dharma can benefit our families and friends.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing the Setrap practice again. May many be protected by Lord Setrap and benefit tremendously from this sacred practice.
Many thanks, Rinpoche, for teaching again the practice of Dharmapala Setrap (DS)including visualization that was motivated by Datin Jennifer’s daily mantra of DS.
I rejoice in Datin Jennifer’s consistency in the practice of DS, the official dharma protector of Gaden Shartse Monastery.

I rejoice at Datin Jeniffer’s practice and I hope that it will inspire others to do the same!I have seen and heard of many people who prayed to Setrap had their prayers and wishes fulfilled by Setrap. It is good to have a dharma protector by our side to help us clear away our obstacles and guide us in our spiritual development
Thanks Rinpoche for this wonderful practice. I will start my day with Namo Guru Beh, Namo Buddhaya, Namo Dharmaya and Namo Sanghaya!
NICE!
I’ve added it to the “7th Month Setrap Puja” Facebook page, I hope that those who watch it will be inspired by Datin Jennifer and be excited about the upcoming puja!! 🙂 I hope you don’t mind..
I’ve always known Jamie’s mum as a dog rescuer. Whenever I hear anything regarding her, it would be that she has rescued another dog, or that she’s adopting another dog! Such a kind-hearted person.
What she does really contributes to Kechara Animal Sanctuary manifesting….and how amazing knowing that she has been doing Setrap prayers daily! Wouldn’t hurt to have the protector on your side!! 🙂
