[…] Kechara Care Department’s Renovation (https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/current-affairs/kechara-care-departments-renovation….) […]
Another division at Kechara organization has grown so fast and become one department itself. Kechara Care played important role to take care and nurture the newbies at Kechara organization. Liaison Su Ming is the appointed leader for this department, assist by James Long, Nicholas Yu and May Ong.
New Kechara Care department office located few door away from KH 2 . It interesting Kechara Care will have the museum of Kechara organization and mini bar for the guest to hang out. Kechara Care will be fun place to hang out for the newbies to get know more about Kechara organization history and members in the organization.
With a department head like Su Ming who embodies care, oozes care and radiates care, Kechara Care can only grow and prosper. As the first contact for people who are new to Kechara House, I’m confident that every newcomer will walk away with that little extra ‘care’ in their hearts. I’m looking forward to meeting all my new dharma brothers and sisters . As the new official ‘yam char’ place , I’m now worried if the place is going to be big enough. 🙂 Kechara Care is going to be the place to get ‘care’, give ‘care’ and learn ‘care’ . YEA !
Kechara Care, headed by Su Ming, is totally fantastic and fabulous. Yes, Kechara has its own support, nurture and care team. They are wonderful to the very last.
This team goes beyond just delivering gifts, flowers and even soups to the sickly on behalf of Rinpoche. They keep tab of who is not feeling well, and they will send someone to visit that person.
They would nurture and spend time with new people, old people, exisitng members, etc.
They remember when it is your birthday, and they will surprise you with a note or a card at the very least. But most of all, they give of themselves and of their sincere friendship.
Liaison Su Ming is the embodiment of care. She has been such a dear Dharma sister, one who refuses to give up on anyone – no matter how challenging it gets. She is truly loving kindness in action.
I cannot wait to see this new Kechara Care Lounge. This is actually the second Kechara Lounge. The first is in Kathmandu. Yes, we have two Lounges now!
I am sure Kechara Lounge, KL is going to be every bit as fabulous as the one in Nepal!
Terima Kasih Rinpoche!
It is to my surprise and amazement when I first walk through the doors of Kechara, there was a team of hospitality for newbies and visitors and frankly in my many years of visiting various temples of various Buddhist Trads, there either was no such facility or just on ad hoc basis. Again, coming from a previous Christian background, I worked on the assumption that this was a Christian thingy…
And now, KC with a premise of its own with a lounge to hang out…
Betulkah ni? Or am I in a dream? LOL
I still recall May Ong when I first walked thru Kechara’s doors. She must have felt that a black faced general was coming through LOL yet she was instrumental in ensuring that this punk was kept informed and comfortable and because the Setrap Puja was in progress, we had a written paper conversation…LOL
Thank YOu Kechara Care
Kechara Care,another new division under Kechara House has manifested due to Rinpoche’s blessings and vision. This department headed by lovely, Su ming is going to be the PARTTTTYYYY place. Yup, that’s right! Who says Buddhists can’t have parties.
Rinpoche wanted a hang out place for the young people, to get together, chat, hang out, ..and why not? The difference will be that we chill out with music, (the last time i checked, the speakers have been installed) drinks, and all is (non-alchohol of course..since we are SPIRITual already) because we share a common goal and interest in spirituality, in living not just for ourselves but for others.
What better person to run this place other than Professional party gal Su Ming!. Besides that, Kechara Care has a very important portfolio, as it will the main point of contact for new people coming into Kechara. Big part of the job will be the nurturing aspect. how wonderful!

Kechara Care has grown in importance as the organisation expands.As more and more are joining and taking part in our activities,we need to have a proper team of seniors who can nurture and support them.
Different people come with different mindsets.
There are those who are still not firm in their decision to go with Kechara and are at the exploratory stage. Its fine for newbies to check out our organisation, Lama and members, and they should. However, it is our responsibility to ensure they get the correct info and facts.It is not beneficial for them or us if info they receive is hearsay or miscommunicated. This is where Kechara Care comes in.
Besides the above very important function, Kechara care also looks after existing members to foster closer bonds as a spiritual family esp for the younger members and also close the gap between the young and old and in betweens.
Dharma can be fun and can be a career -is the Care team’s mantra.
KC’s new premise will help ensure KC’s role will be fulfilled.
YAM CHAAAA I like that 🙂
Kudos to Kechara Care for all their swift hard work, dedication and effort 🙂 I tagged along with Rinpoche and the Kechara Care angels just a few days ago (July 1) to view the almost-completed Kechara Care and was gobsmacked. It’s so prettttyyy! And done in true Su Ming style – lots of love, colour, glitzy bits and a very red man to greet you at the main door.
This new Kechara Care venue has been specially set up to be a place for people to congregate, mix, socialise and let our hair down. You might wonder, huh? is that Dharma? Why is a Dharma centre setting up a party place? Actually, this isn’t a new thing in Kechara – for years, Rinpoche has encouraged having a free, happy, social space for students, volunteers and friends of Kechara. In every department, there is a relaxing space to complement the hard work of volunteers and staff; and Rinpoche frequently encourages departments to get together for dinner, parties, karaoke, movies – anything that will help to bring the team closer together and be happy, relaxed and open.
Dharma work isn’t just about work work work; a larger and more important part is the friendships that are made outside working hours. This brings in all aspects of nurture, care, counselling, getting to know each other better so we can lend each other better support in work and practice. This party space is not merely just to “have fun” and that’s it – there’s a lot of deep meaning and reasons for this.
And so…. here’s to the new Kechara Care loungy, party hub of energy! I can’t wait for the opening PARTEEEEE!
Just checked out Kechara Care yesterday, she look so pretty. If you take a closer look on the purple wall, you’ll find it actually blinking at you ! some “star dust” was spread on top of it, bling bling all the way !! the renovation will be done soon, and we will able to have a new place for yam cha or gathering !! Great !! This is not a normal Buddhist organization, This is Kechara, an organization which dedicate for all ages, all side, all race !! You’ll find what suits you the most from the 13 departments, and Kechara World Peace Center is on its way !! Join us, join the fun, and bring the happy to others too !!!!
woo! wonderful signboard for Kechara Care, simple and elegant
