The Kechara Buddhist Organisation’s Puja (prayers and rituals) House was established to perform a wide range of authentic prayers and rituals for the sick, dying, deceased and those who are going through tremendous obstacles; or even simply wishing to invoke the powers of the Buddhas for their wellbeing or success. Amongst the many pujas that are available at our Puja House, the Dorje Shugden and Medicine Buddha pujas are the most popular due to their effectiveness in removing obstacles, healing the sick, assisting the dying or the deceased and also in accumulating spiritual merit. In addition to prayer services, Kechara’s Puja House also accepts requests to make a range of offerings to the Buddhas on behalf of members and practitioners.

In recent years, offerings of candles and incense to Dorje Shugden have become extremely popular. Due to the karmic affinity between Dorje Shugden and the people of our time, this enlightened Dharma Protector has proven to be exceptionally swift in responding to prayers and bestowing blessings and protection. As such, making offerings to Dorje Shugden is now recognised as one of the most efficacious ways to accumulate merits in order to fulfil both our spiritual and mundane aims.

To accommodate the growing requests to make offerings to Dorje Shugden, His Eminence the 25th Tsem Rinpoche saw there was a need for a much larger outdoor space where people would be able to make offerings in a safe, sanctified environment. Thus, the project to develop an outdoor Dorje Shugden chapel was launched.

Work began a few months ago to create this outdoor chapel, located behind the sacred Vajra Yogini Stupa and next to Wisdom Hall where Rinpoche has enthroned the world’s largest Dorje Shugden statue. Supervised by dedicated Kecharians, a grand altar for Dorje Shugden was constructed along with a candle-offering grotto. In addition, two stone incense burners were built to accommodate both traditional Tibetan incense (sang) offerings as well as joss sticks, familiar amongst Chinese and South East Asian worshippers.

There is also space for devotees and visitors to make offerings of Dorje Shugden mantra stones, similar to the way mani stones are offered at sacred power places in Tibet, Nepal and throughout the Himalayas. Mantras represent the energy of the enlightened beings in the form of sound and when we recite mantras, they stimulate the various parts of our body to heal itself, to clear itself, to purify itself and to gain higher states of consciousness. Mantras therefore, are very powerful and they can be written, visualised or recited out aloud, to bless ordinary beings, animals, ethereal or formless beings and everyone in the environment.

With Dorje Shugden mantra stones offered through this outdoor chapel, it means that when we circumambulate the chapel, we are not only circumambulating the Dorje Shugden statue but also his sacred mantra OM BENZA WIKI BITANA SOHA. In doing so, we plant the seeds of enlightenment in our mindstreams so that in the future, we are able to accomplish bodhicitta (ultimate compassion), the realisation of emptiness and attain higher states of consciousness.

On January 18, 2019, the Dorje Shugden statue arrived, greeted by Kecharians and visitors eager to witness the historic occasion. The next two days saw volunteers and members from all over Malaysia coming together to prepare the statue to be invited to its final location on the pedestal. With their help, thousands of holy relics and precious items, as well as trillions of Buddha images, mantras, prayers and texts were inserted into the statue, which was then sealed in the traditional manner. Many of these items were personally selected by Rinpoche, whose wish it is that this outdoor chapel be of as much benefit to others as possible. In preparation for the chapel’s opening, Rinpoche had even given teachings about the benefits of the chapel so the devotees will be educated on exactly how this Dorje Shugden chapel will assist them.

On the afternoon of January 20, under sunny and clear blue skies, a crane lifted Kechara’s magnificent 9-foot bronze Dorje Shugden statue as Kecharians and visitors escorted him over to the pedestal while reciting OM BENZA WIKI BITANA SOHA. Dorje Shugden was thusly ‘enthroned’ on a dedicated 4-foot stone pedestal and in the following week, monks from Phelgyeling Monastery in Nepal performed the soongdroop, rabney and trusol pujas to consecrate the outdoor chapel and statue.

Nestled amongst maturing Bucida trees, this new outdoor Dorje Shugden shrine is much needed due to the tremendous growth of Dorje Shugden practice throughout Malaysia and Southeast Asia as many come to realise the potency of his practice and the reliability of this enlightened Dharma Protector.

The location of this new outdoor Dorje Shugden chapel is strategic and the alignment of the main altar in Wisdom Hall, the new Dorje Shugden outdoor shrine and the Vajra Yogini Stupa transforms the area between Wisdom Hall and the Vajra Yogini Stupa into a power-packed sanctuary on what is already highly sacred land. Very quickly this Dorje Shugden sanctum has become one of Kechara Forest Retreat’s most popular sites for visitors and residents alike, to sit on a number of stone benches to pray, meditate, or simply relax in a place of power. The chapel is open to all so do come and connect with power and blessings of the enlightened Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden.

Dorje Shugden’s name in Tibetan literally means ‘One Endowed with Indestructible Power’. He is the emanation of Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom and is therefore a fully enlightened being that one can have full confidence in.

Dorje Shugden’s lineage can be traced to one of the oldest and highest incarnation lines from India and Tibet. His incarnation lineage consists of a succession of highly attained lamas, pandit-scholars, yogis and Dharma kings, going all the way back to Buddha Shakyamuni’s lifetime when Dorje Shugden incarnated as Magadha Sangmo, the daughter of Buddha’s patron. Dorje Shugden’s other past incarnations include:

  • Mahasiddha Virupa who was a master of miracles;
  • Thonmi Sambhota who was the father of the Tibetan script;
  • Tibetan Buddhist King Trisong Detsen, whose patronage of the lamas and monasteries was instrumental in the spread of Buddhism in Tibet;
  • Mahasiddha Naropa who beheld the face of Buddha Vajra Yogini;
  • The supreme translator Ra Lotsawa who introduced the Yamantaka Tantras to Tibet;
  • Dulzin Drakpa Gyaltsen who was the direct disciple of Lama Tsongkhapa;
  • Panchen Sonam Drakpa who was a prolific scholar;
  • And just before arising as a Dharma Protector, he was the illustrious Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen, the great scholar and yogi who sacrificed his life in order to arise as Dorje Shugden.

Dorje Shugden is propitiated as a Dharma Protector, whose blessings and assistance helps to remove obstacles, problems and difficulties that can potentially hinder or derail our spiritual practice and the course of our lives. As a Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden is also supplicated to provide supportive circumstances that lead to improvement in our lives. In addition, he is entreated to provide resources favourable to the growth of our spiritual practice. Ultimately, it is our Dharma practice that Dorje Shugden protects and nourishes and that is why he is called a Dharma Protector.

 

Benefits of Dorje Shugden’s Practice

According to his praise, Dorje Shugden is said to possess the strength of a thousand Dharma Protectors. This is attributed to the fact that he is an emanation of an enlightened being and that he manifested in a worldly form (of a god or deva) that has a closer karmic affinity with us. Hence, he has great strength in holding back our obstacles or our negative karma from manifesting so that we are able to purify it more easily. Consequently, Dorje Shugden has a reputation for quick assistance for those who are in dire circumstances.

Dorje Shugden is, in nature, the Buddha of Wisdom Manjushri. Click on image to enlarge.

In addition, as an emanation of Manjushri, Dorje Shugden has the ability to open our minds to universal wisdom, so that we can develop a greater clarity of mind and penetrative insight especially when it comes to applying spiritual teachings into our daily lives. Such realisations change our perspective and allow us to make swifter decisions that positively impact others and ourselves.

According to his fulfilment ritual text, Dorje Shugden holds a jewel-spitting mongoose and a vajra hook in the crook of his arm signifying that he bestows spiritual and material wealth and resources. In general, Dorje Shugden helps us to acquire the resources we need so we are free to reach our full spiritual potential. The resources that Dorje Shugden bestows includes material wealth, prosperity, a good career, harmony amongst family, friends and colleagues, as well as health and various opportunities that improve our lives.

Most important of all, Dorje Shugden has tremendous power to help us and our loved ones when we take our final journey. He is a powerful ally that we can rely on when we are dying as this is the most crucial moment when everything we have done in this life catches up and creates the circumstances for our future lives. Once the deceased has taken rebirth, nothing can be done to reverse the circumstance of taking a negative rebirth. If we have been practising Dorje Shugden sincerely, he will be able to intercede and come to our aid. That is why many sincere practitioners offer candles, recite lots of Dorje Shugden mantras and perform Dorje Shugden pujas during this crucial moment in order to solicit Dorje Shugden’s powerful assistance.

Once we have developed a spiritual relationship with this Protector, he will benefit us far into the future, a result of his omniscience as an enlightened Buddha combined with our sincere reliance on him.

Height: 9 feet (2.7 metres)
Material: Bronze

The 9-foot Dorje Shugden statue installed at the outdoor chapel in Kechara Forest Retreat is not just a statue, but is one filled with countless holy items and has been highly charged through traditional consecration prayers.

Making offerings and prayers to this statue, or circumambulating it therefore generates a lot of spiritual merit and purifies tremendous amounts of negative karma because these virtuous acts are being performed in relations to not just one 9-foot statue, but towards the countless representations of the Buddha’s body, speech and mind contained inside it.

Before the statue was installed, extensive pujas were performed in preparation for the arrival of our Dorje Shugden statue. These were performed to invite and charge the location with the sacred energies of the Buddhas, as well as to clear obstacles in the production, transportation and installation of the statue.

The pujas were necessary because when immensely beneficial projects are underway, the negative karma of those who will benefit from the project will come to fruition. This negative karma fruitions to try and stop the project from completion, to prevent the intended recipients from experiencing the benefits. Hence, pujas are performed to ensure the project is free from obstacles. In the case of our Dorje Shugden statue, pujas performed include a Kalarupa puja performed by our very own Kecharians, as well as extensive candle and Tibetan incense (sang) offerings.

The pedestal set up for a Dorje Shugden puja to create the merits to invite the 9-foot statue to Kechara Forest Retreat.

    The 9feet Dorje Shugden has now become a major focal point of the Kechara Forest Retreat. After the Dorje Shugden was installed Rinpoche also placed hundreds of mantra stones, resulting in this Buddha as being a super charged and blessed place. With 500 mantra stones placed around Dorje Shugden grotto, once circumambulation around Dorje Shugden is equivalent to 500 circumambulations around Dorje Shugden without the mantra stones.

    With deep devotion to the guru, higher meditational insights will arise. Because of not having higher meditational insights, one will not realize the need to have devotion to the guru in order to gain higher insights. They are interdependent.~Tsem Rinpoche

    Dorje Shugden arose 400 years ago as a Dharma protector to help modern people and practitioners to remove obstacles and create a conducive environment for us to practice. His main objective is to help in our spiritual practice and liberate us from our suffering.

    There are 2 types of Dharma protectors, enlightened and non-enlightened. Dorje Shugden even though manifests in a wordly form but he is a fully enlightened Dharma protector. He is an emanation of Buddha Manjushri which is confirmed by many high lamas such as Trijang Rinpoche, Dagom Rinpoche.

    A Buddha emanates in a wordly form because due to our negative karma, we are not able to have a connection directly with an enlightened being. It is easier for the Buddha to give us assistance when they are in a wordly form. For example, our teacher, he is a Buddha but he takes rebirth in a human form so he can teach us Dharma and give us guidance directly.

    Wow stunning 9 foot Dorje Shugden statue at Kechara Forest Retreat, Malaysia. It arrived at the right time , where many visitors from all over Malaysia will be able to do offerings for the coming Chinese New Year. Located strategically , it transformed the surrounding area into a powerful sanctuary where we can circumambulate the Dorje Shugden statue and also his sacred mantra stones OM BENZA WIKI BITANA SOHA. We are so fortunate to witness the traditional rituals performed by the monks of Phelgyeling Monastery. I am glad to make there for the powerful Rabney and Trusol blessing and consecration ritual on this stunning Dorje Shugden Statue.
    Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands.

    I am so fortunate to be able to pay homage to the new Dorje Shugden statue in Kechara Forest Retreat and also take part in cleaning the statue and attending pujas. It is indeed a memorable experience for me. Thank you Rinpoche for creating so many ways for us to plant seed and connect with the great Dorje Shugden. May all obstacles be cleared and Dorje Shugden ban be quickly lifted, and Lama Tsongkhapa teachings can be spread to all direction to benefit more people.

    Rejoice to this very auspicious day welcoming Dorje Shugden outdoor statue to Kechara Forest Retreat and everyone who volunteered in this preparation. We are all very fortunate and blessed to have such a wonderful and spiritual place like KFR founded by our dearest Guru, H.E.Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. KFR is the best spiritual place in Malaysia for everyone to circumambulate beautiful and blessed outdoor Buddha statues to purify our negative karma and do retreats for inner peace. I truly hope to be able to go KFF more often and circumambulate all the Buddha statues and Stupas. Thank you very much Rinpoche, blog team and everyone for making this happen to benefit everyone ??????⭐️?☀️??

    Most impressive, inviting and blessed sacred ground with all signs of auspicion. May this holy place enrich the lives of the many who will visit, make offerings and benefit from the presence of the enlightened dharma protector Dorje Shugden. May the powerful prayers and mantras travel the winds in ten directions to aid all sentient beings in need.
    Great thanks to the many hands who have been integral in making Kechara what it is today. You are extensions of the Gurus compassion in your actions and the seeds you sow will continue to grow well into the future. Appreciation for the wise vision of Rinpoche, making dreams reality, showing us there is a way and for providing the opportunity to benefit from Buddha Dorje Shugden.

    Dear Rinpoche,

    Thank you so much for creating this wonderful place and statue for us to make continuous connection to Dorje Sjugden, the Protector of our time. Thank you also for sharing the many wonderful photos of many wonderful Pastors and Kecharians who have worked tirelessly to prepare the place, prepare items for insertion, to prepare the pedestal, the grotto and eventually the installation of the statue.

    From the photos, I have come to understand and deeply appreciate the meanings, and the hard work behind to ensure that the statue is set up.
    For many ordinary people, it is difficult to understand and appreciate the hard work and more so the meaning behind everything that is done for consecrating a stautue.

    I pray and dedicate merits that with this 9-foot statue, many, many, many more people who come to KFR will be blessed by Dorje Shugden and may everyone grow and deepen their Dharma journey for this life and future lives.

    Humbly yours,
    Lum Kok Luen

    Dorje Shugden is an emanation of Buddha Manjushri, there is no doubt. Trijang Rinpoche had said very clearly in his text called “Music Delighting the Oceans of Protectors” that Dorje Shugden is an enlightened being. Trijang Rinpoche was not the only lama who said that, many high lamas had written praise and prayer to Dorje Shugden. They acknowledged the enlightened qualities of Dorje Shugden and assured us that we can rely on Dorje Shugden.

    If it is not because of Tsem Rinpoche, we Malaysians will not have the opportunity to learn about Dorje Shugden, let alone to do his practice. Tsem Rinpoche is very kind to build Kechara Forest Retreat and connect us with Dorje Shugden by installing so many Dorje Shugden statues in Kechara Forest Retreat. Due to our karma, Buddha Manjushri has to emanate in a worldly form to be closer to us so he can provide very swift assistance to us.

    Dorje Shugden has performed many miracles and save many lives. I have heard of stories of cancer patients being saved by Dorje Shugden; people who met in a serious accident but suffered from only scratches; people who had financial difficulty but their problem was solved after praying to Dorje Shugden. Dorje Shugden is a Buddha, he will not ask for anything in return. Therefore, it is very safe to propitiate him.

    A card and hard disc from Sean Wang was truly a smart idea afterall. Nobody could imagine such idea but he did it. Placing thumb drives with millions and billions of Vajrayogini her holy mantra in Tibetan into the holy statue. Not only that drawing pictures too . Such a great idea whereby people come to make offerings, prostrate, circumambulate, collecting huge amount of merits for themselves and their love ones. Thanks to Sean Wang/

    Reading this blog kindly reminded us of the most cherished people in our lives that’s our parents. Mother’s Day that is on this Sunday 12th of May and Father’s Day falls on the third Sunday in June. Teachers Day too important ……a day to honour and recognise their roles in our lives. Rinpoche always emphasised that we should not avoid the responsibility of repaying the kindness of the people who have helped us in our life. The only true way to honour and repay their kindness is to let them know that their kindness meant a lot to us . Do something good for them or someone else as this practice ultimately gives enormous power and possibilities for positive effects in many lives not just our own life. Simple saying thank you and expressing our appreciation can go a long way.
    Reading all those powerful quotes by Rinpoche gives us a lesson and example.
    Thank you Rinpoche and writers team for sharing

    Achi Chökyi Drölma is the Dharma Protector of the Drikung Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. She also appears as a protector in the Karma Kagyu refuge tree as Achi Chodron. Although Achi has a particular committment to protect the Drikung Kagyu, she is recognized and practiced by all lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. To benefit the beings in samsara, she displays a limitless number of manifestations at different times and in different space dimensions. She vowed to protect the Drikung Kagyu lineage and its practitioners, removing inner and outer obstacles , a revered figure in Tibetan Buddhism, embodies the harmonious union of compassion, wisdom, and protective energy. a powerful wisdom-protector who guards and protects all sincere Dharma-practitioners to rely on her. She is also known for her power to confer wealth. She rose to protect Drikung Kagyu lineage while Dorje Shugden who rose to protect the Gelug teaching. Interesting read.

    Dorje Shugden is a special Dharma Protector who quickly fulfils wishes and sincere prayers. He brings healing, harmony and peace; protects from harm and obstacles and attracts opportunities for success and growth. To promote the practice of Dorje Shugden, Kechara has came up a easy way for more people to understand the Powerful Practice. Presented in six different languages as such in English, Tibetan བོད་ཡིག, Chinese 中文, Hindi हिंदी, Tamil தமிழ், Nepali नेपाली so everyone could access. All those materials were distributed to visitors free of charge at all Kechara outlets. Looking at those pictures of visitors says all of how Kechara had spreads the practice of Dorje Shugden like wild fire. More people will get to know and understand the true stories and benefits of Dorje Shugden.

    For the last 60 years, the Tibetan Government-in-Exile has exploited, abused, marginalised and persecuted their people. For the first time in six decades, since the Tibetans first entered a life in exile, we are seeing more and more examples of ordinary Tibetans speaking up against this exploitation. In years gone past, Tibetans would never have dared to voice their objections to the leadership. They have been mixing religion and politics ever since. A majority of the Tibetans in India are stateless, and been sufferings quietly. Hundreds of thousands of Tibetans were killed during the Chinese invasion, prompting the young Dalai Lama to flee into exile in 1959. Because of all the exploitation the younger Tibetan generation are willing to express and speaking up.
    Reading the commentary by a anonymous member of the Tibetan community tells us how those desperate Tibetans experienced all this while and to voice the truth. Interesting read. In order to achieve peace it is necessary to address the root of violence and conflict by having dialogue between the Chinese Government and the Tibetan Government.

    The legendary Ra Lotsawa Dorje Drak was born in the village of Nyenam,Southern Tibet amidst many auspicious signs of a high rebirth. Ra Lotsawa was a great tantric master and is one of the most controversial Buddhist teachers in Tibetan history who had used wrathful means to subjugate his opponents. One of the previous lives of Dorje Shugden is the renowned lama Ra Lotsawa Dorje Drak, Amongst his great deeds, Ra Lotsawa was known to have renovated many with Samye, Tibet’s first monastery. He also sponsored numerous new translation works, the copying and recitation of sacred scriptures, and the installation of Buddha statues. Interesting read of the biography of this great master. Ra Lotsawa Dorje Drakpa left behind a legacy of many great lamas, practitioners and preserving, as well as spreading this tantric system in Tibet.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this sharing.

    Dorjé Shukden is a controversial Tibetan Buddhist protector deity, believed by some to be a wrathful spirit and by others to be an enlightened Buddha. The controversy that arose from this divided understanding over the last fifty years has impacted the Tibetan Buddhist community globally and continues to be relevant to observers and practitioners of Buddhism the world over. The Yellow Book, based on its cover. It was composed by Kyabje Zemey Rinpoche in 1970, but it was not published until 1973. Kyabje Zemey Rinpoche never intended for his book to be published but somehow it was published without his permission. According to the introduction, Kyabje Zemey Rinpoche authored this book in 1970 based on teachings given by Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche, the junior tutor to the 14th Dalai Lama.The original intention of this book was to be complementary material to Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche’s book, Music Delighting An Ocean of Protectors, which was published six years before the Yellow Book. The Yellow Book did not circulate widely until several years later. It is a collection of cautionary tales and teachings but sadly some influential powerful officials and people who had corrupted the Gelug lineage . Interesting read.
    I am looking forward to finish reading this book.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Martin for this interesting sharing.

    Firebirds are mythical birds found in the folklore of many cultures. They are often depicted as magical birds with feathers that glow like flames or the sun. The mythology surrounding firebirds varies between cultures, but there are some common themes. In Greek mythology, the mythical bird known for its ability to be reborn from its ashes, symbolizing immortality and renewal. It is often depicted as a beautiful and majestic creature with brightly coloured feathers and a long tail. Interesting read of the stories related to the mythology, legend and folklore in this blog.

    Cham Dance is the traditional dance of Tibetans. It involves a series of masked dances, which are usually performed by monks and laymen, wearing colourful costumes. These dances are vibrant and lively and are performed during annual festivals. Dorje Shugden Cham dance is one of them, is said to have originated in the Himalayan range and by far the date and year are kept as a treasured secret to this date. The Dorje Shugden cham dance is rare but not an obscure lineage; there are certain monasteries in Tibet who have practised this dance for hundreds of years. Dorje Shugden Cham dance is a colourful and impressive performance, performed by Buddhist monks who practiced Dorje Shugden. The Cham dance is very powerful and through the dance which depicts the truth of Dorje Shugden.There are a few variations of accounts on the history and the lineage of Dorje Shugden, written by various attained lamas in the last 350 years. Collected works on Dorje Shugden written by His H H Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche considered the most accurate account. As describes clearly how Dorje Shugden for many lifetimes had manifested high level Mahasiddhas. Dorje Shugden and his entourage of thirty-two deities are all depicted in the Cham dance as a World Peace Protector. Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche great sharing.

    Momo is a dumpling made of all-purpose flour and filled with either meat or vegetables. Inspired by Tibetan dumplings, the dish is a very popular Nepali street food. It is one of my favourite foods. Last year while in Kathmandu I am fortunate given the opportunity to learn and made vegetarian Momos.

    Bouddha, also known as Boudhanath, is a stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal which is located about 11 km from outskirts of Kathmandu. Its massive mandala makes it one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal and the world. The Boudhanath Stupa pyramid is coated with over 60 pounds of gold, is one of the largest and one of the most significant Buddhist monuments in the world. This great Stupa is home to precious relics and this semi-circular structure stands out with its majestic mandala, recognized by UNESCO in 1979 as a World Heritage Site. The Boudhanath is the most sacred sites in Tibetan Buddhism outside of Tibet, reflecting the cosmological tenets of Buddhism. Was there last year June joining thousands of pilgrims circumambulate the stupa.
    The aerial view of this Boudhanath Stupa is magnificent indeed. Looking merely at the pictures is a blessing.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer

Umze for the day was Siew Hong. She's just been with us for slightly more than a year now but she's proven her capability in leading the puja. Our Penang group members are so proud of her and her commitment in attending the weekly puja. Despite being eloquence and smart, she has beautiful chant as well. When she leads, make sure you are there to hear her chant for yourself! Kechara Penang Study Group by Jacinta.
