After graduating as a journalist major from New Era University College in November 2010, Abby Foo had plans to leave for Taiwan in September 2011 to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in speech communication. During her gap year however, she met H.E. Tsem Rinpoche and moved by his insightful teachings, she decided to join Kechara full-time. Her life-changing decision was inspired by the realisation that she was really after a teacher who possesses complete wisdom and a mastery of the Dharma, which has the incontrovertible answers to life’s questions. In His Eminence, she had found such a quality.

In August 2011, Abby began working as a full-time Chinese translator in Kechara Media & Publications. Two years later, she joined Tsem Ladrang as a writer and translator. Her responsibilities lie mainly in translating H.E. Tsem Rinpoche’s teachings into Chinese, as well as social media management in the Chinese-speaking world.

Now, having followed His Eminence’s teachings for eight years, Abby sees transformation within herself due to her teacher’s kindness, and has full conviction that the pursuit of spirituality should start when we are young, especially when people have the opportunity to meet the Guru and the Buddhadharma. Abby has also witnessed how His Eminence’s teachings change people’s lives for the better; her experiences have thus deepened her faith even further. A believer in ‘sharing is caring’, it is this proverb which compels Abby to share His Eminence’s teachings to as many as she can, so that words of the Buddha will give relief to the suffering of their mind.

《事师五十颂》简介与第六、七、八颂

在这段视频中,我跟大家分享上师和弟子关系确立之前应该谨慎地互相审视,因为具格上师授法给破戒弟子本身也是一个罪过;而具格弟子遇见邪师也是具伤害性。随后,内容还包括具格上师具备哪些功德、条件和特质。

《事师五十颂》第九颂

在这段视频中,我跟大家讲解《事师五十颂》中的第九颂。第九颂的前半部清楚说明,传授无上部密续的上师,即是金刚上师应该具备哪二十个特征/能力,而传授下部密的上师又应该具备哪十个特征/能力。相同的,一位具格的弟子,又应该具备哪些条件呢?对学密的弟子,以及对学道次第的弟子又有哪些要求呢?

《事师五十颂》简介与第十、十一、十二颂

金刚弟子向金刚上师所做的哪怕是一丁点善行,都足以累积为数不可思议的功德;相同的,若金刚弟子轻毁多年以慈悲和善巧循循善诱教导即身成佛之道的金刚上师,其后果也是不堪设想的。以上内容,也是释迦摩尼佛对金刚手菩萨的开示。

《事师五十颂》第十三、十四、十五颂

第十三、十四和十五颂解释到为什么弟子不会做令上师烦恼之事,若做令上师烦恼之事,必会投生地狱。多部密续经典,如《胜乐根本续》、《密集根本续》、《吉祥月密明点·密续之王》中就有说明没有上师依止心,即使再如何精进修行,亦不会获得高成就。其中还会说到常啼菩萨因如理承事上师法上菩萨而在七年内修得七地菩萨的果位,这在显宗的修行里头是做不到的,但因为常啼菩萨对上师有巨大的虔敬心,他把不可能化作可能。

《事师五十颂》第十六、十七、十八、十九颂

第十六、十七、十八、十九颂的内容就包括若我们有意或无意间对上师有所不敬,那我们可以透过诚心供养上师,祈求原谅而净化轻毁上师的罪业。再来,我们也应该观察佛教大师是如何承事自己的金刚上师,如何对金刚上师保持虔敬,而不是只顾着观察佛教大师诵经好不好,法器摇得好不好。从观察佛教大师如何如理依止金刚上师,我们也将获益无穷。我的上师,尊贵的詹杜固仁波切也如是说。根据《时轮根本续》如理依止上师,对上师保持圆满的虔敬心将使我们在一世之间获得原本需要历经无量亿劫才能证得的佛果。最后,这几个偈颂也不忘提醒金刚弟子要时时向诸佛如来和上师诚心做供养。

《事师五十颂》第二十、二十一、二十二、二十三颂

第二十、二十一、二十二、二十三颂说到要获得无尽的成就——即佛的法身,那弟子就应该向金刚上师广做供养、累积福德资粮,而且向金刚上师做供养,也就等于向十方诸佛做供养,功德不可思议。透过这种供养所累积的功德,将有助于我们获得金刚不坏的成就——成佛。作为一名具格的金刚弟子,除了要有大悲心,也要持戒清净,并且能视上师与金刚总持无二无别。

《事师五十颂》第二十四、二十五、二十六颂

第二十四、二十五、二十六颂讲到有大智慧的弟子会带着欢喜心聆听上师的教授和指示,因为有大智慧的弟子明了上师的教授和指示都是为教化自己而说,而且听闻之后更应该持着坚韧不拔的态度去完成上师大大小小的指示和教授。其中也讲明在什么样的情况下,弟子可以选择不遵照上师的话行动,其中就引述了佛陀释迦摩尼前世的故事。除此,阿底峡尊者和三位弟子的故事也出现在其中。再者,如理依止上师不但能使我们满足现世之愿,更能使我们来世投生善趣。《喜金刚续》当中就有明言。而且,作为一名具格弟子,我们也应该找看上师的财物、家眷等,并且以虔敬心对待之。

    Meeting with the dharma, is like you are given a magnifying glass, and it helps you to see things more clearer than before. Everyone is who sees clearly in life, will be able achieve success in life no matter the form that success manifests as. If one has a choice, it is much better to meet the dharma early on in life than later.

    With the dharma, one has much more options and more means to deal with the vicissitudes and the ups and downs life has to offer to us.

  2. Wai Meng Wan on Aug 21, 2019 at 12:25 am

    I think Abby has come a long way, since she started with Kechara. She is an amazing and energetic part of Kechara and in bringing the dharma to others.

  3. Ummamageswari on Jun 18, 2019 at 2:27 pm

    Thank you so much for this article. After joining Kechara full-time, Her life-changing decision started when she realize that she was really after a teacher who possesses complete wisdom and a mastery of the Dharma, which has the incontrovertible answers to life’s questions. In His Eminence, she had found such a quality.

    She has also witnessed how His Eminence’s teachings changes people’s lives for the better and her experiences have thus deepened her faith even further.

    Through her translations and oral presentations, Abby Foo is using her talents to promote H.E. Tsem Rinpoche’s teachings and the Kechara organisation. She may be young but she is very dedicated in her Dharma work, benefiting herself and others. She speaks very well, with confidence and assertiveness, and many people are impressed with her interpretative skills. She also has a kind and caring heart. I’m very happy for young Abby and wish her all the best in her chosen vocation.

  5. Samfoonheei on Mar 18, 2019 at 11:59 am

    Abby is indeed talented in all fields at such a young age. Nowadays there are more youngster chasing their dreams to purchase their career path. But some how Abby choose to be with Rinpoche doing what she loves in translating , writing as well as social media management in the Chinese-speaking world. She forgo her studies in Taiwan to be with Kechara. Abby has also witnessed Rinpoche’s teachings that change people’s lives for the better which then inspired her . Even though I have not known her for long and could not understand her videos in mandarin , I can only say she is friendly, happy go lucky go, helpful and speaks well confidently in her dharma sharing.
    Thank you for this sharing.

  6. Stella Cheang on Mar 16, 2019 at 1:18 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche and Abby for this sharing. Abby’s command of the Mandarin language is clear and concise, hence giving a good representation of the topics. The topics on Guru-Disciple Relationship picked by Abby here are vital for new students as well as existing students – because the guru plays the role of the source of inspiration, blessing, transmission, and so on. Tremendous emphasis has been placed on maintaining proper reliance with our guru. Only by developing pure respect and complete devotion to the guru, that one can gain spiritual realisation and attainment.

    Vajrayogini symbolizes the wisdom of all enlightened beings and embodies the impulse of inspiration that drives the Buddhas to attain the perfect enlightenment. Vajrayogini is one of the most effective practices for people today. We can make offerings such as gold or jewel offerings and so on. The offering of gold helps us to collect merits, spiritual attainments, gain a deeper connection to Vajrayogini. It also creates the causes to attain a Buddha’s body.
    Make Offerings to Vajrayogini in Kechara Forest Retreat at Bentong is such an meritorious way for us to collect merits. All thanks to our Guru having conceptualised the idea of having a statue of Vajrayogini for everyone . Recitation of Vajrayogini mantra can be a powerful tool for self-transformation, healing and liberation from samsara.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing with details explanation .

    Thank you, Rinpoche for sharing this insightful article. Life is short, and if we enjoy every moment of every day, then we will be happy no matter what happens or what changes along the way.What ever matter to us at the time of death is nothing. In the end, it’s not the years in our life that count it’s what you leave behind that matters. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again.Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. Learning Dharma and practicing dharma is the our choice that’s matter. Some of the key points to take notes, read, study the Lam Rim and apply it, engage in Sadhana daily and consistently. No one will help us at the moment of death but ourselves. Spiritual practicing is the best choice.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Well the size of Buddha statues in Tibetan Buddhism is important because it represents the Buddha’s immense ability and vast knowledge. Hence the Buddha statues hold the symbol of satisfaction within, peace and happiness. They are a symbol of inspiration for every human being. When we focus on the Buddha statues, it gives us inner peace that our mind, our heart and our soul gets enlightened.
    We have are so fortunate seeing and circumambulating where the 9-foot Dorje Shugden statue and with 500 mantra stones engraved with Dorje Shugden’s sacred mantra. As Rinpoche had said before the bigger and more Buddha statues helps in planting seeds of enlightenment in people’s mind-streams. It also help us to generate as much merit and purify as much karma as possible. Merely by seeing all those big statues at Kechara Forest Retreat is a blessing.
    Thank you Rinpoche.

    The 4th Tagpu Pemavajra Jampel Tenpai Ngodrub, most commonly known as Tagpu Dorje Chang, was a highly accomplished yogi Highly attained lama who had many authentic visions of the Buddhas and even travel astrally to receive direct teachings from them. His recognised line of incarnations stem all the way back to the 14th Century. He is generally regarded as such amongst Gelug lineage holders. He spent most of his time in a hermitage located above Sera Monastery, gave teachings and transmitted many vital practices and lineages to his foremost student Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche. Besides receiving the complete instructions of Dorje Shugden’s practice, Tagpu Dorje Chang had many other mystical experiences throughout his lifetime. Interesting read biography of a highly accomplished mahasiddha lama.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    n Tibetan culture, it is a popular and customary practice for families to invite monks to perform spiritual ceremonies such as Trusol rituals. The monks have had the opportunity to offer such ceremonies for individuals or their families. Such ceremonies purify the elements of the environment which helps those living or visiting there to experience good health, success and well-being. The sacred ritual of ‘bathing’ the Buddhas and consecration through which negativities, sicknesses and obstacles will be cleared. Where by filling those areas with positive energies and good vibes through this Trusol consecration puja. Water is an essential part of this puja and symbolises the cleansing of all negativities and impurities. Through this puja it also pacifies local deities and other unseen beings in the surrounding areas. We are indeed fortunate that Tsem Rinpoche has taught Kecharians this practice and it has benefited many.
    Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands

    Reading this post had me gain some knowledge of Shifter Werewolves. Any article regarding rare creatures or paranormal articles are of my interest since young. In European folklore, a werewolf is a man who turns into a wolf at night and devours animals, people, or corpses but returns to human form by day.They have the ability to transform from an ordinary human appearance to a partially-lupine form with pointed ears, mutton chops, claws and fangs, and a ridged brow . Wow… werewolf tends to be vicious and unable to control his blood thirst. Their underlying common origin can be traced back to Proto-Indo-European mythology. In many depictions, these bloodthirsty beasts are evil where they kill animals and innocent people. They are humans who transition into wolf-like creatures, after being placed under a curse. In folklore, most werewolves originate from being cursed or bitten by another werewolf. That’s what they do believe. According many enthusiasts, there’s many different type of werewolves such as Alpha wolves, Beta wolves , Deltas, Elders, some survive as loners while others move in packs. How true it is no one knows. I do believe their existing . Many interesting stories related to these wolves in the past history.

    Beautiful Dorje Shugden at Malacca. One should pay a visit there, located at a busy tourist place. It was such an auspicious occasion that a grand Puja was held there. Dedicated students and volunteers were there getting the place ready for the grand puja. Well the Grand Dorje Shugden puja was conducted by very own Kechara puja team to commemorate the chapel’s 3rd anniversary. Many people attended the Puja that’s wonderful to receive the powerful Protector Dorje Shugden blessings. More people will make a connection and get to know Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom, in the form of a Dharma Protector. May Dorje Shugden’s practice flourish to benefit those tourists and locals.

    Venerable Geshe Rabten Rinpoche is a highly realised meditation master known as a debater, scholar, and meditation master, was the first Tibetan Buddhist master to introduce the complete Vinaya-tradition. He had also introduce the study of the five major topics of Buddhism to the West. He became the ‘path breaker’ of the complete and complex teachings of Buddhism in the West. Many masters, who are famous in the West today, were Geshe’s students. enerable Geshe Rabten. Geshe Rabten wrote the beautiful and Manjushri’s prayer called Gangloma and gave a profound explanation. We are so fortunate to learn about this Manjushri’s sacred prayer. May all be blessed by the practice of Lord Manjushri and Geshe Rabten’s explanation.

    The begging bowl or alms bowl is one of the simplest but most important objects in the daily lives of Theravada Buddhist monks. The alms bowl still stands as an emblem of how all Buddhas, as numerous as grains of sand in the Ganges, practiced to end their desire. All those who receive the alms bowl should focus their mind to act with self-control and self-respect. Almsgiving is a tradition of Theravada Buddhists, majority in Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Laos. In those early days of Buddhism, monks would take their bowls and go out begging for food. As today in Thailand one could see monks woke up before dawn every morning and carried his bowl through the roads or paths wherever he was staying. Local people would place food in the bowl as a donation, through the generosity of lay people. They accept whatever food is offered for them and eat whatever been given, serve as a blessing for the giver.
    One bowl has held the food of a thousand families. A solitary monastic travels on his journey of a hundred thousand miles seeking liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
    Thank you H.E. Tsem Rinpoche for explaining the meaning of begging and gave us more reasons to be vegetarian . Create a awareness among us not killing animals to be one.

    The Tibetan diaspora began in 1959 after the People’s Liberation Army entered the country. Thousands of Tibetan and the Dalai Lama fled into exile to India. The Indian government led by Jawaharlal Nehru kind enough to offer land which was scattered throughout the country. The Tibetans as refugees on which the Tibetans would be able to reestablish themselves. After 60 years of protests, campaigns and fundraising, the Tibetan movement has not been fruitful, increase the living welfare condition and Tibetans continue to depend on the kindness of their host countries. Due to these many Tibetan in exile left India to elsewhere and other countries seeking a better future. In the last 60 years, the Tibetan leadership have not been successful in making progress with their political goals. Surprisingly the Tibetan Spiritual leader Dalai Lama said in an interview published letter that Europe has accepted “too many” refugees . While there is many protests and attempts to pressure Europe to accept more refugees.
    Further more the unethical ban against Shugden making life more difficult for many Dorje Shugden practitioners . Because of the ban against Dorje Shugden the whole Tibetan Buddhist world is divided until now. May all be harmonious soon even recently .Dalai Lama had said we could practice Interesting read. Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Khong Jean Ai for this sharing.

    The Kalmyks are the only traditionally Buddhist people living within Europe. As Tibetan Buddhists, the Kalmyks regard the Dalai Lama as their spiritual leader. Kalmykia is a historical crossroads on the Silk Road. The Western Mongol Kalmyk tribes. The Kalmyks live primarily in the Republic of Kalmykia, a federal subject of Russia located in the southeast European part of Russia. The Kalmyks are the only inhabitants of Europe whose national religion is Buddhism. They embraced Buddhism in the early part of the 17th century and belong to the Tibetan Buddhist. Like other Mongols, the Kalmyk are very spiritual Tibetan Buddhists, but their Buddhism has a strong admixture of indigenous beliefs and shamanistic practices. Buddhism spread among Mongols during the time of the Mongol Empire. They have come a long way till now, with rich traditions in song, dance, music, arts and a powerful heritage ,strong convictions.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting information of the hidden Kalmykia society.

    Thaipusam is a Tamil Hindu festival celebrated on the first full moon day of the Tamil month. The festival is celebrated to commemorate the victory of Hindu God Murugan over the demon Surapadman. The festival commemorates the triumph of good over evil by many devotees throughout Malaysia. For Hindus, Thaipusam is a day to cleanse oneself of sins and to repent for any transgressions in the past year.Devotees place a great deal of emphasis on the Vel. Silver, gold, lead, copper, and iron which is the five metals. It is said to be able to absorb all negative energy, spread positivity, and destroy all dangerous energies. Wearing yellow during Thaipusam as Lord Murugan’s favourite colour. Well Yellow is also associated with new beginnings, peace and happiness. On that day many devotees will be wearing yellow in color. Devotees will carry heavy ornate structures called kavadis while others have their tongues, cheeks and backs pierced with hooks and skewers. They then walk barefoot up 272 steps to the Batu Caves temple. Women devotees will carry the milk pots on that day. Thousands of locals and tourist from around the world of different faith will be there to witness this auspicious festival.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Dorje Shugden controversy began when the Dalai Lama made successive attempts to wrongly assert the nature of the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden to be a harmful spirit. The great lineage masters such as Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche and Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche’s teachings are amongst the greatest dharma that forms the foundation of Gelugpa education. As confirmed that Dorje Shugden is an emanation of Manjushri. Dorje Shugden is an enlightened Dharma Protector who manifested about 400 years ago from a lineage of erudite masters. They cant be wrong . Dorje Shugden via the Panglung oracle had helped the Dalai Lama in his great escape out of Tibet. There are so many highly attained lamas who practices Dorje Shugden and their reincarnations have been coming back again and again. Even 5th Dalai Lama composed a prayer to Dorje Shugden and built a Protector chapel dedicated to Dorje Shugden as well. That’s Trode Khangsar in Central Lhasa which is still there. The ban of Dorje Shugden is unnecessary and illogical as the bigger purpose of Dorje Shugden,is the preservation of the Dharma. The Tibetan Leadership (CTA) has instituted this ban against Dorje Shugden for many years and its time to lift the ban. May more people read and understand the ban and the real reason behind this controversy.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for sharing this post.

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.

    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
