Tsem Rinpoche Bio Group Goes to USA

Kechara is doing a book and creating a movie on my life story.

Actually I’m not anyone special, but my teacher in the past around 8 years back (2002) insisted I do a bio book on myself in which I vehemently asked to be excused from doing..But my teacher insisted…But as time passes, many people inquire about my life and it seems the direction to go. So my teacher as usual is fautless in his instructions to me…I humbly thank Him.

Irene, Pastor Loh Seng Piow (SP) and Mr Khong have gone to Tibet to research my relatives (father’s side of family) and also Tsem Monastery (Yara region, Kham) and area of my previous incarnation. They took many pictures and talk to many. Relatives from my previous incarnation are still alive amazingly. They were happy to know I am here and requested me to visit them.

Irene, Khong and Pastor Loh Seng Piow also visited Xianjang and have met with my mother’s side of the family…and had a warm reception. Lots of family there…Later many more pictures and information in the form of the book will come out from Kechara Media and Publications.

This morning a group has flown off to USA to do research for my biography. There is a group of 11 students of Kechara and professionals on this strip that will span New York, New Jersey, California, Virginia and Florida. They will go to document the places I grew up, school and where I lived. They will interview many of my family members and close friends in the US. This will all be valuable information for the biography book. They will take pictures of Rashi Gempil Ling Temple in Howell New Jersey where I first recieved refuge, tantric initiations and met His Holiness the Dalai Lama for the first time in 1976…My first guru, H.E. Kensur Lobsang Tharchin Rinpoche resided in this temple until his passing…

This Tsem Rinpoche Bio Project is taking off.

The wonderful picture below was taken this morning when they were at our international airport in Kuala Lumpur with a short transit in Hong Kong then onto New York.

My relatives and friends in America are expecting them. I have presents for them carried by the Bio group…the bio group coordinator is no other than my PA Beng Kooi (BK) who has contacted my relatives and friends who are ready and willing to help.

I wish them a good trip and I know they will have one.

There are nine of them pictured here, and two more (Ruby and Jean Mei) have already arrived in New York and waiting for the group excitedly!!

    Revisiting this post, I’ve just realised that my father went to do research in China and Tibet, and then my mum, sister and I went to do research in the United States… well, my dad’s the only one out of us who speaks Mandarin and we’re all better English speakers than he is hehehe

    How humble for Rinpoche to say that he is nothing special because having done the USA research trip, I’ve learned that reincarnation really does exist. How else can you explain a 7 year old boy turning up to the temples every chance he gets, to stare at the Buddha statues and ask question after question? And not just turn up, but actually face the wrath of his parents (and a mother suffering from schizophrenia) in order to do so? Most 7 year olds would have given up (the scolding’s not worth it, etc) but Rinpoche did not and learning more Dharma and being near monks was all he wanted to do.

    And to say he is nothing special… how else can you explain Rinpoche being adopted into one of the few towns in the United States at the time to have Gelug temples?!

    Today, we met Ani-la Lobsang Drolma from Thubten Dhargye Ling Dharma Centre. She is a wonderful and sincere nun who was close to Rinpoche, as close as brother and sister. I truly enjoyed our meeting with her. She spoke of Rinpoche’s guru devotion to H.H. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche and Geshe Tsultrim Gyaltsen. It was inspiring and many a times, so beautiful, that it touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. I am blessed to have met her.

  5. Dee Dee Quah on Oct 26, 2010 at 1:41 am

    Dear Rinpoche,

    We are now in LA and about to set off for the day. Its exciting and I can’t wait to go to Thubten Dhargye Ling, the places you stayed in in LA and get on the bus route you used to take. This phase of your life, especially Thubten Dhargye Ling hold special meaning to you and I hope it will open my eyes too.

    Sincerely,

    Dee Dee

    Documenting Rinpoche’s life in the form of a book and a movie will inspire many people for generations to come. I’m very happy for Sharon Saw who has just joined the group. I know that it is a project very close to her heart and that her contribution will be valuable. I wish the Bio Group a successful trip.

  7. Dee Dee Quah on Oct 15, 2010 at 8:15 pm

    Day 2 – yesterday was Day 2. We visited RGL and went into the little room where Rinpoche received a lot of teachings from his first guru. Is it right to say… walking in the streets and temples you used to walk as a child, at times, I felt the imprints of your steps. I was in awe, … I don’t have the right words to describe it ..

    I am looking forward to everyday.

  8. Lim Han Nee on Oct 15, 2010 at 9:55 am

    Dear Rinpoche,
    I have been ‘watching’ with great excitement and avid interest every step of this epoch-making trip that 11 Kecharians and dharma friends have undertaken, with the kindness of Rinpoche.And now, even more excitingly, Sharon is going to join them!As their narration of their trip unfolds, I feel that we, who are here in KL,are there with them seeing everything and hearing everything through their eyes and ears.
    Last night, I decided to start this ‘journey’ into Rinpoche’s past from where it all started in Taiwan.So I logged into the earlier post detailing Rinpoche’s revisit of the place of your birth and the first seven years of your life’s journey.I cried and hurt inside of me because I was deeply touched by such great compassion of ONE who chose to be born into such a painful life and to suffer such tremendous hardship so as to bring dharma especially to us in Malaysia.
    Dear Rinppoche,may we, your students never ever forget, even for one moment, how precious is the dharma you have so earnestly brought to us, at all cost to yourself.May we never ever forget how beholden we are to you.

    • patsy on Oct 15, 2010 at 3:13 pm

      We are so lucky to have Rinpoche guiding us and helping us to make our worthless life meaningful and worth-full.

      I thank the bio group and Rinpoche’s never ending smses to keep us updated on what is happening on the opposite side of the globe.Rinpoche faced so much obstacles and difficulties during his younger days, the pain and anguish he had to face saddened me.

      Just imagine a young boy, hiding under the blanket doing his prayers, cooked and served his parents and their guests, the huge backyard that he had to mow and rake the leaves and all the abuses and beatings he had to endure. Yet this young boy did not give up or swayed away from dharma.

      It took a lot of courage for a young boy with no money and alone to run away. Yet this young boy finally made it after three attempts.

      We are so fortunate that Rinpoche is now here with us and we should never forget Rinpoche’s kindness in bringing the dharma into our lives. We should be grateful to our Guru who has helped us tremndously. We should commit all the way into bringing Rinpoche’s vision of Kechara World Peace Center manifest!

  9. Patrick Lim on Oct 15, 2010 at 9:38 am

    Dear Rinpoche,
    Words cannot describe my feelings for the past 2 days we have spent in the small town that you grew up. I let myself absorbing all of the events that have been happening the past 2 days. Day 1 – we met Sara. We walked on the street where Rinpoche played & we had the opportunity to see the house where Rinpoche lived. We visited the two temples. We listened to stories that are very consistent about Rinpoche. Recording all these events are opening my mind to possibilities. Possibilities that I am yet to be able to fulfill. I am looking forward to the days ahead. Thank you is a gestural words that I feel too limited in expressing my gratitude to be part of the team to research on your biography. Please feel my gratitude through how I feel and I, thank you from my heart.
    Thank you.

    Rinpoche’s history is so rich, there’s so much to find out about it. It is a big big honour to be part of the research team and a remarkable project to undertake with an amazing, knowledgeable and capable team. Being in New Jersey, tracing Rinpoche’s childhood has been surreal, very interesting and humbling – and it is only Day 1! There is so much more to come and I am looking forward to each day. Having this opportunity at such an early stage of my spiritual journey is truly a privilege. Opportunities like these are so rare and sacred, that I now understand what it means when it is referred to as having enough merits to undertake something. I often wonder why me, and I have no answer to it. The only logical answer (for me anyways) is through the theory of cause and effect.

    Thought of the day – Rinpoche’s childhood aligns and builds up to who he is today – he has never ever swayed away from the Dharma.

  11. Dee Dee Quah on Oct 14, 2010 at 3:29 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,

    I am truly blessed to be able to meet you so soon and be on this journey. To see the places you’ve grown up in, meet the people you’ve known in your childhood; learn, practice and live dharma along the way. For a newbie, I am overwhelmed at the generosity and care you have shown to us & the sharing of the liaisons.

    May my contributions live up to your good works and help bring benefit to others.

    Thank you Rinpoche & to my sponsor, Martin Chow.

    What a very unique and amazing group! Bon Voyage!

  13. patsy on Oct 12, 2010 at 10:01 pm

    To the 11 Kecharians who are now in the States to do research for Rinpoche’s bio, I rejoice for your dedication and devotion towards this once in a lifetime opportunity.

    “Dharma is a career”. As Kechara grows bigger and bigger and more projects coming up, those working in Kechara will be traveling more and more. Whether we are on stipend or a volunteer, we must set our priorities right and “commit all the way”.

    Rinpoche’s bio will be an inspiration to many and I can’t wait for Rinpche’s bio to be published and the movie to be released.

    Thank you to this wonderful team and the sponsors for creating the causes for this project to take off!

  14. Anila on Oct 12, 2010 at 3:48 pm

    Without a cause there won’t be results. Becuase Rinpoche listens to his Guru’s advice to write a bio of his life and also Rinpoche believes and trust there is a reason to it. As Kechara is expanding very fast there are lots of people who wants to know more about the Spiritual Director. He feels this the time to start. And so many of his energetic students are ready to help him. When the bio of Rinpoche’s life is known to the World then there won’t be problem promoting KWPC. As the World would have known the founder already from his biography through the books and movies. I rejoice for all who are involved in this project.

  15. keng tan on Oct 12, 2010 at 1:46 am

    Undoubtedly when the Bio is published it will inspire everyone who reads it. I am sure this will not be any ordinary Bio for it will be filled with lots dharma teachings (if we read between the lines). I will be the first in the queue to get it.

  16. martin on Oct 12, 2010 at 1:11 am

    In years to come, Rinpoche’s Biography and stories of Rinpoche’s s journey will grow and become more and more crucial as an authority on living the spiritual life. Rinpoche’s dealing of the past, seeking of spirituality, practicing great guru devotion, Rinpoche’s words, thoughts, feelings and actions…all in the one book, will be the Lamrin,…alive and unplugged.

    What a blessing to be able to bring the book and movie to life and place Rinpoche’s teaching (by example) as one of the greats, of the Masters.

  17. Angel SH OOi on Oct 11, 2010 at 11:23 pm

    I totally agreed with Rinpoche and Datuk May, they said‘DHARMA IS A CAREER..!’ How fortunate for those, who has chosen to work in Kechara Organisation. Under H E Tsem Tulku Rinpoche’s guidance spiritually you will be benefited. And with Rinpoche’s kindness and loving care, He WILL MAKE SURE you and your love once are well taking care off.
    I rejoiced for those who have chosen to go to USA to do research for Rinpoche’s biography. This group of Rinpoche’s student has been working very hard and closely to Rinpoche, and planned since many years ago, it’ll be a meaningful trip to them.
    Most exciting is, can’t wait for Rinpoche’s biography and life story movie to be published!
    Love, angel

  18. Yee Ling on Oct 11, 2010 at 9:47 pm

    I am looking forward to helping the team with all the work that will be done in the US. Thank you for making this opportunity available and I am very excited. As Datuk May says, such an assignment is rare.

    May whatever contribution I make bring benefit to all.

  19. Datuk May on Oct 11, 2010 at 3:17 pm

    With all the preparations for US visas, flight tickets, accommodations and letters to Rinpoche’s friends and relatives, I must congratulate the team to have got it all and off to the most wonderful assignment of their lives, the documentation for the Biography of our Guru, Tsem Tulku Rinpoche.

    What is even more exciting is that this is only but the beginning, from hereon there will be pictorials, books and to culminate into a movie.

    For me,I admire how much Rinpoche will share with all sentient beings to bring Dharma into their lives. Rinpoche lives only for the Dharma and his life story will be inspiring for us to take on the spiritual part to benefit people and gain inner happiness even our efforts may be at a very low first step beginning.

    Many of the 11 people who left for USA, will realise that such a chance to travel for work do not happen all the time. This bring back to my mind what Rinpoche says “Dharma is a career” which will bring much satisfaction to those who think so. How true!

    Yes, those working in Kechara will soon be traveling more and more often as Kechara grows and grows.

    Thank you, Rinpoche and many others who sponsored, assisted with this trip.

  20. Sharon Saw on Oct 11, 2010 at 12:11 pm

    How fortunate this group is to go and see the actual places where Rinpoche grew up and meet Rinpoche’s relatives and friends. It has been a few years planning for this trip before it could come to fruition so I am happy that it is finally happening! Finally – those who have created the causes and enough merits to produce Rinpoche’s biography get to go! I very much hope that Rinpoche’s biography which will be prepared by those going on this trip will finally be published. And I can’t wait to see the movie!

  21. Kevin Toliver-Lyons on Oct 11, 2010 at 7:01 am

    I live in Hallandale Beach which is five minutes away from Miami…Please get in touch with me so we can meet. It is imperative for me and my family….Namaste. We can all have a great vegetarian meal Miami style!!!

  22. Josh Akers on Oct 11, 2010 at 6:35 am

    When I read the bio that was already posted…
    I felt so amazing because I felt there could be no other teacher in the world who’s life story could inspire me so strongly, and at the same time I could relate to nearly every Rinpoche has ever faced with some parallels to my own life.

    Rinpoche has been down in the worst dumps and yet has climbed to the highest mountains of life. I believe this project was a wise choice and it will be VERY BIG, and FAR REACHING.

    Wat Rong Khun better known as the White Temple, is a Buddhist temple in Chiang Rai province, Thailand. The gold symbolizes how people focus on worldly desires and money. The white building represents the idea to make merit and to focus on the mind. It is owned by a succesful Thai businessman who opened it to visitors in 1997. Awesome….This temple stands out through the white colour and use of pieces of glass that sparkle in the sun. The white colour signifies the purity of Buddha while the glass symbolizes Buddha’s wisdom. Located 3 hour drive from Chiang Mai built to honour and pay tribute to sacred Buddhist figures. Over time, temples grew in prominence and is one of the famous temples to visit in Thailand. I have visited years back its simple stunning temple which truly love the design and architecture .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Sak Yant, a traditional Thai tattooing practice, involves sacred geometrical and animal designs. Its often accompanied by Pali phrases, and is believed to offer power, protection, charisma, and other benefits to the wearer. Sak Yant tattoos are deeply rooted in Buddhist and spiritual beliefs, with each design and symbol carrying specific meanings and purported powers. Many designs are believed to provide protection against evil spirits, misfortune, and danger. Sak Yant tattoos are traditionally applied by monks or masters using a needle and ink, and the process is often accompanied by chants and blessings. I personally have not seen one yet . Sound interesting.

    Jojo Struys is a travel and wellness personality, accredited yoga instructor, speaker and author. She visited Bangsar of Kechara outlet for a feature with Star Property. With her visit hopefully more people will get to know more of our Kechara . She had made a video with and Pastor David Lai all about Buddhist Arts. She openly admitted interested in Buddhist art . Buddhist art pieces have given her home a contemporary edge. Art was important to Buddhist religious life. It was not only part of ritual and worship but also served to transmit religious ideas, and artistic styles between cultures. Do agree with her statement ,…..if you want to change your life, change the way you think, because everything begins with you.”

    n their theoretical model, rudeness has this impact on our ability to think because it engenders negative sadness, anger. Researchers have found that common negative behaviours can spread easily and have significant consequences. The best way to avoid rude people is to meet their acts of rudeness with kindness. Exposure to neurotoxins in society is not new. Children today are raised in an environment that is much different from those days. Nowadays they are exposed to behaviours, profane language, hostilities and stress from which we adults, raised a generation ago. Studies have shown that children exposed to serious psychological trauma during childhood are at risk of suffering increased psychiatric disorders. Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche.

    Revisit this blog again . Reading comments in this blog Rich people have substantial assets and income, providing a sense of security and freedom from financial worries. Owning high-end cars, designer clothing and everything they want with their money. Rich people often have more time for leisure, hobbies, and travel, allowing them to pursue interests and experiences. They may live in large, luxurious homes and have or apartments, often in desirable locations and having personalized services. The fundamental difference in mindset between the rich and the poor is, the rich have understood a very simple principle money makes money. Rich people see money as an opportunity, while poor people see it as something to be earned. Poor people work hard for their money. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has. Not he who has much is rich, but he who gives much. The primary difference between rich people and poor people is how they handle their wealth. My thought been rich in this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.

    Found this old post …disturbing. Having a name especially a Bar linked to Buddha to be disrespectful towards Buddhism. After much controversy the owner had it removed. The Buddha Bar located in Sabah by a young owner which opened without much thought had many people complaining. Later was forced to have its controversial name changed to ‘Peacock Garden’ and had apologised for the controversial name. As a devout Buddhist, the name ‘Buddha Bar’ which serves alcohol, is disrespectful to the revered Buddha.

    Siberia, considered the heartland of shamanism inhabited by many different ethnic groups, and many of its peoples observe shamanistic. Many of the indigenous communities reclaiming their traditional spiritual and healing practices . Interesting. Siberian shamanism is often called Tengerism, involves various rituals, including drumming, chanting, trance states, and offerings to nature spirits and ancestors. This religious practice has deep roots in Siberia and Central Asia in recent years with roots in the Turkic and Mongolic cultures. Many who have been live in a remote part of Russia, have preserved their shamanic traditions due to their isolation. Many customs of Tengrism are still been practiced where they emphasizes a deep respect for nature and its various spirits, including those of the earth, water, and mountains. They do believe in the continued existence of souls and the importance of honouring their ancestors.
    Thank you Rinpoche sharing this ancient religion.

    Everyone of us has an unforgettable different experience, a different destination and itineraries. The journey to Shar Gaden Monastery back in 2019, making offerings to the sangha , by the Kecharians hold special moments and memories. They were on behalf of His Eminence the 25th Tsem Rinpoche and Kechara in making an offering to all 650 monks of the monastery. On this fruitful trip the Kecharians had the honour to catch a glimpse of the normally-covered holy statue of Dorje Shugden . Awesome this holy statue of Dorje Shugden was handmade by HH Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche and HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche.The team was also granted an audience with H E Domo Geshe Chocktrul Rinpoche. Having the opportunity to make offerings to the monks was indeed meritorious. Rejoice to them. Looking at those beautiful pictures paints a thousands words. Thank you Rinpoche and team for this sharing. Merely looking at it is a blessing especially the Holy Statue of Dorje Shugden.

    Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. We can’t let our failures define us. Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure. Success is never permanent, and failure is never final. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness .Sometimes just reminding ourselves of the temporality of failure enables us to forge ahead and stay focus looking forward . Failure isn’t something many of us can handle gracefully. And even though we know it’s a common human condition, figuring out how to stay motivated in the face of failure .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this profound teachings.

    Finally HH Dalai Lama said we can practice Dorje Shugden. After all these years of deep frustration felt by the Tibetan people. They who lack religious freedom been denied and been exploited in all sectors of society. More than 60 years the Tibetan leadership has cause the sufferings of those in exile who had propitiate Dorje Shugden. Dalai Lama did reiterated although he recommended not worshipping Dorje Shugden as it is a personal choice and freedom. Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche .

    Working in a private hospital before ,having witnessed many personal tragedies faced by the living and dying patients. Many of these poor people faced their death with fear, with misery and pain before departing this world. With the images of all these in my mind, on occasion feeling sad and grieve at times when those we have cared .But nonetheless we should recognise certain truths. All of us are going to leave this world at one time and leaving those we love. In the teaching of the Buddha, all of us will pass away eventually as a part in the natural process of birth, old-age and death and that we should always keep in mind the impermanence of life. Along the journey of life, we are reminded of our own inevitable ends in waiting and everything is a blip of transience and impermanent. Be responsible, good and positive for ourselves and towards others. This leads to calmness, happiness and an outlook which contributes to a calm and controlled mind at the time of death. We have to remind ourselves the importance of rebirth and taking time to prepare for their own demise before its too late.To cultivate the good karma, our good actions are an excellent way prepare for our death. Having lead a responsible and compassionate life and have no regrets when death approaches enables us to surrender without a struggle. The life that we all cherish and wish to hold on. We are doomed to the endless cycles of life and death, we should learn and practices Dharma teachings .We are given a chance in life and choice to determine our future, to determine where we will go for rebirth. Spend our time on earth wisely before its too late.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

The first reported encounter in 1966 in West Virginia and to the most recent one in 2024 in Kane, Illinois. In the quiet town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, the mysterious creature had igniting one of the most puzzling legends in American folklore. Witnesses described this creature standing over seven feet tall, with a wingspan that could rival a small aircraft, glowing red eyes, and a human-like figure.

    His Holiness the Dalai Lama is considered the incarnation of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara and therefore he is an enlightened being. H H Dalai Lama has strongly discouraged the practice of Dorje Shugden worship within Tibetan Buddhism. Dorje Shugden is a prominent deity in the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism. Many highly attained Lamas have been relying on this Powerful Protector for centuries and even Dalai lama previously do propitiate Dorje Shugden . It cannot be wrong and its wrong to view it as a form of “spirit worship”. All his previous 9 reincarnations practiced with devotion, all of the Dalai Lamas teachers practiced Dorje Shugdan as well . The Tibetan community is torn over this issue and this has been the cause of much suffering and unnecessary prejudice. Dalai Lama is without doubt an enlightened being that surely cannot be tricked by a spirit. Dalai Lama did composed a praise to Dorje Shugden while at Dungkar Monastery . Interesting article , may more people read this and to understand better regarding this controversy. In 2020, the Dalai Lama made a Uturn by saying we can practice Dorje Shugden . Thats’ wonderful and relief for many practitioners.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    Butön Rinchen Drup, 11th Abbot of Shalu Monastery, was a 14th-century Sakya master and Tibetan Buddhist leader. Butön Rinchen Drup a Tibetan great scholar and translator, known for systematizing the Tibetan Buddhist canon containing the Indian scriptures based on the spoken words of the Buddha. He also compiled the Tangyur collection that contains the Indian and Tibetan commentaries of these teachings. He wrote a famous text, the History of Buddhism in India and Tibet, which many Tibetan scholars utilize in their study till today. He remains to this day as one of the most important Tibetan historians and Buddhist writers in the history of Buddhism and Tibet. He was not merely a capable administrator but he is remembered to this very day as a prodigious scholar and writer and is Tibet’s most celebrated historian. After his death he strongly influenced the development of esoteric studies and psychic training in Tibet for centuries. Interesting biography of a great scholar.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David with folded hands.

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.
    7 years ago
    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
