Treadmill Offering
Dear students and friends,
I wanted to share with you this touching gift that I received just a week ago… I was so surprised with this gift and how it was presented. It really touched my heart to the core. So much care, love and thought put into this. Some people wish you good things and some people actually make the effort to do something. That something need not be expensive but it just needs to be sincere and from care.
As everyone following my blog, Twitter or Facebook probably knows, many people are always expressing concerns about my health due to my weight. They always encourage me to do some light exercises regularly in order to keep healthy.
Without letting me or anyone else know… 6 of my ‘sneaky’ students ordered a treadmill for me called the Nordictrack Elite 9500 Pro, brought it over to the Ladrang in Kechara Forest Retreat, and made a VERY interesting video to surprise me! YOU MUST WATCH THIS SHORT VIDEO THEY CREATED TO PRESENT ME THE GIFT. They conceptualized the whole video and I was told Adrian was the producer of the video. LOL. Very nice!!
The ‘sneaky’ 6 who offered it was KH Ng, Sarah Yap, Shin, Andrew, Phoebe & Adrian. They said that the reason behind their choice of treadmill was because of the 10″ screen – they didn’t want me to get bored while exercising! How thoughtful…Can watch youtube on the treadmill screen!
Thank you for this meaningful gift. I am very thankful and appreciate their kindness so much. Their care is incredible. I have friends and students who really care and that is so nice. Some are kind enough to care and even do something to express the care….very deeply touching. It shows how much the few of them wishes for my good health… I truly appreciate their sincere effort. Do watch the creative video that they made!!

Thank you, Rinpoche, for sharing with us a prime example of giving with care and with much thoughts! The performance is very entertaining.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this article. It is so kind of the senior students to offer Rinpoche a treadmill. They also took the initiative to come up with a funny video on how to use the treadmill. ? Rinpoche need to take care of health. My prayers are always dedicated to Rinpoche’s long life, good health and clearance of obstacles.
With folded palms,

This is really hilarious.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this video. It reminds us that giving is from the heart, not how expensive or big the gift is.
this is so funny but its very dangerous but lucky no one got hurt
So funny!! How blessed you are to have such a lovely, loving family, Tsem xxxooo
I have had a problem with my weight too! On the way down now (for the past year), thanks to Buddhism and also going Vegan.
You’re a real blessing – I love reading your articles and seeing the pictures! Thankyou and all your Team!
I really hope the ban on Dorje Shugden comes down very soon!! xo
Well, that was entertaining. XD
Very nice to know that there are people who are taking care of Rinpoche. 🙂
Dear Rinpoche, even though I have watched this video for a few times already, I still can’t stop laughing especially the bloopers. What made me laughed the most is Pastor Shin’s laughing voice at the last part of the video. This idea is very thoughtful and funny.
Thanks Rinpoche for the sharing.
The video is funny and is a creative way to introduce the secret gift to Rinpoche.
Offering to the Guru surpass all.
Rejoice to those who offer such a wonderful gift to Rinpoche.

Wow, so thoughtful and kind of them to actually get a treadmill for Rinpoche. And the video is soo funny, i liked the part where there was dancing on the treadmill 😀 that really cracked me up, very creative Rinpoche, thank you so much for sharing.
The treadmill is a good offering but the video produced by the six talented and creative students showed their genuine love,care and concern for Rinpoche. I hope Rinpoche will make full use of this treadmill to reduce weight and stay healthy.
Love Moh Mei’s dance movement… It’s not easy dancing on a treadmill but she did it:)
Thank you, Rinpoche, for sharing this with us.
they are so creative… it is funny too especially the bloopers.
they are very thoughtful to buy a treadmill with a 10″ screen for Rinpoche to not get bored.
Thank you Rinpoche for the sharing . This is very wonderful and meaningful gift. I very happy and enjoy for this creative video. May Rinpoche Long Life And Healthy 🙂
He he this offering is presented with so much love and kindness.
This treadmill is really expensive but the 6 people offered it without any trouble.
This was a really a funny video.
I wold like to say Moh Mei was the best and funniest actor.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this funny video.
This is so thoughtful, i hope Rinpoche can exercise nicely on the treadmil and i hope Rinpoche can have a good time on the screen too! Hehe, i hope Rinpoche can keep very healthy with this treadmil and nice job “sneaky” 6!
Dear Rinpoche,
What a hilarious and funny video as well as what a nice and creative way to present a very thoughtful gift to Rinpoche.
It’s amazing how they managed to make all this happen as well as how they thought of such a great idea to present an offering to Rinpoche.
I am really glad that they selected this model instead of other models so that Rinpoche will not get bored when exercising as well as it is also fun to be able to watch videos while exercising as it gives something to work for.
Have fun with the new treadmill and enjoy!
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing!
Love
Jutika
Dear Rinpoche, This video is so funny I just can’t stop laughing.LOL! Especially the Despicable me part, MM dancing one and the bloopers part. I’m still laughing even when I’m typing right now. HAHAHA! And MM is quite a good dancer herself.
The video is very funny and creative. it is so nice to see Rinpoche’s students caring so much for Rinpoche’s well being. It is a sign of guru devotion to offer gifts to your guru. Thank you for sharing the lovely video, Rinpoche.

The video is so funny I can’t stop laughing . Good job guys and rejoice for those who are involved. Thank you for posting this video and have fun using the treadmill.
Such a wonderful gift for our precious Guru! And I just love the highly entertaining video! Moh Mei’s Gangnam Style would make Psy proud.:)
May Rinpoche have many happy “walks”!
Wow, kudos to all those with the good thought and such a informative & funny clip that lights up the day with a smile. They said laughter helps to loose weight too.! Good start!
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this video. It’s so funny. So sweet of them to offer the treadmill and at the same time made up the demo video to show Rinpoche how to use. Moh Mei can really do anything when comes to Rinpoche. Andrian always creative when comes to video like this. Levi is cute and I didn’t know she can really act. Thank you everyone for your efforts to just make Rinpoche happy even just for a moment.
Well done, what a wonderful gift to our Guru. And the video, OMB, it is so creative. Never knew Moh Mei can move like that.
This is a very innovative and funny video! I can’t help but laugh at Moh Mei when I first saw the video..I gotta admit that she’s quite good at it! Hehehe!
It’s very sweet and thoughtful of the 6 people who have planned and bought Rinpoche the treadmill, they really do care about Rinpoche. The most interesting is that, the treadmill has a 10” touch screen with web browser powered by Android, Rinpoche will never get bored while exercising!
Thank You for sharing Rinpoche.
The video is so funny and creative.What a wonderful and thoughtful gift!
It’s so sincere and i must said it’s very entertaining. I love the sincerity behind this wonderful video presentation, I laughed so hard when i first watched the video. Thanks guys for this wonderful offering to our lovely guru and thanks for the thought of giving this gifts to improve our guru’s health.
I have not stopped laughing while watching this funny LOL creative home-made video by 6 of Rinpoche’s ‘sneaky’ students acted on top of the “surprise gift” they prepared.
The loving care, kindness and generosity goes beyond words of these loyal students who had shown Rinpoche their love for him, as a close friend, family member and parent too (to some of them).
This is so funny, it is so creative for them to do this video as a new way to present their offering to Rinpoche. I totally did not know that Moh Mei is able to dance so well!!!
And Levi really looks like a doctor in the video! Just love this creative video!
*applause*
You guys are really creative and smart. Not to mention FUNNY too. When Moh Mei showed me this video, I laughed so loud, I almost woke the neighbours. LOL… I can never imagine Moh Mei dancing that way.
Bravo guys! Well done!
I hope that Rinpoche will use the treadmill for some light exercise so that Rinpoche can be healthy and strong! Thank you Rinpoche for sharing the video!
The video was the amazing brainchild of Adrian who had envisioned this brilliant presentation for Rinpoche. His motivation was to make it lighthearted but yet informative.
Moh Mei is also to be commended for her incredibly sporting attitude of just performing so brilliantly in the video. Her “acting” is so natural.
They are examples of Rinpoche’s students that personify selflessness and subduing of the ego!
We feel assured that whatever actions/directives taken by close students of Rinpoche and members of Ladrang, pertaining to the medical aspects of Rinpoche are done for our Guru’s best interests. I also believe the close students are still very closely monitoring Rinpoche’s health conditions and exploring all avenues of treatment to make Rinpoche return to the best of his normal health condition again. Perhaps this treadmill offering is one of the avenues of treatment and ways to make Rinpoche stay long with us till the realisation of KWPC to benefit all Beings! Om mani padme hum.
Heheh great video!
What a wonderful gift… and the entertaining video also. It really is more than the cost of the gift but the effort and motivation behind it, which is to give Rinpoche the opportunity to be healthier and thus live longer. I have always admired people who are so devoted to Rinpoche and the devotion comes through into action. Well done too all those involved in sponsoring the treadmill and the video.. and yes Moh Mei was very funny!!!!
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this creative and funny video.Offering come from the heart is the best offering!The gift that they presented to Rinpoche are show a lot of care and thoughtful,May Rinpoche has good health after using the Treadmill .
P/s: Shin ,Levi and Moh Mei ,you all are very “professional”
This is sooooooo entertaining and hilarious hahahaha….LOVE IT!!! Welldone to the crew! It is a very funny, creative and entertaining advertisement hahaha.. WOW Moh Mei can really act and dance!! LOL….
Very well present to offer a gift to our Guru hehehehe 🙂
This is superb,the gift and the video presentation itself. The thought put in on choosing the gift and creative video being made is very touching. I like the video, the actresses as well: especially Moh Mei not only can build, can also dance and acts! We did not do any exercise on the treadmill, yet still burn lots of calories by laughing at the creative and funny yet sincere video! Thank you guys!
This is such a hilarious but touching video. So much thought is put into the gift. It shows their love and care for Rinpoche. Very moving.
Didn’t realise Moh Mei can be so entertaining. LOL! Shin and Levi were very funny too! hehe. WELL DONE guys!
Moh Mei can dance! LOL
This video is so creative and funny. It also shows how thoughtful the students are to go to the extend to come out with this video as part of the treadmill offerings. Thanks guys, I must learn more from you all! Thumb up!
May Rinpoche like to use this treadmill & able to lose weight too!
LOL… All Rinpoche students are so talented and they are very good actors…
Levi, Shin and Moi Meh make Rinpoche day cheer up and hopefully it may help Rinpoche to recover swiftly with good moods everyday…
What a wonderful and thoughtful gift! Obviously being around Rinpoche constantly, the students has been influenced by Rinpoche’s unwavering compassion.. Inspiring would be an understatement..
The video is super funny! I love how Moh Mei dances on the thread mill.. Not easy to dance on a running threadmill. Lol what a funny way to present the video.. Hahaha! I laughed so hard! Moh Mei’s poker face made it funnier! Hahaha
May Rinpoche’s health be well always..
This is superb and well done guys!!! I love it! There are certainly so many hidden talents in Kechara 🙂 But what is amazing is Shin, Sarah, KH Ng and a few of Rinpoche’s close students actually got together to get this awesome gift, though not cheap, to encourage Rinpoche to exercise and to get healthy. This is what I find extremely touching and sincere. The thought, the planning and the effort they put in to getting this gift.
If Rinpoche is healthy, then Rinpoche will will be able to live long to expound the Dharma. The gift is so meaningful on so many levels. From the student side, it shows deep genuine concern care that they would go through any great length to ensure their Guru is well. As for the creativity side… I would give it an A though amateur but it the whole offering concept was excellent and well put together. It really made me laugh till I drop! I hope to see Rinpoche on this treadmill and if Rinpoche need some clowns to entertained while exercising, I am sure we’d be more than happy to anytime 🙂
Oh and I must say… Moh Mei you are a SHINING STARrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!! x Everyone did an excellent job even Levi baby xxx
It is indeed a gift of love and care for our precious Guru from these 6 kind and loving students of Rinpoche. Hope Rinpoche will make full use of this treadmill to lose weight and keep fit and live long to turn the wheel of dharma. Thank you for sharing this funny and entertaining video.
Thank you Rinpoche for the sharing.Your students who presented the Tread mill to you were very kind and considerate.They were hilarious with the short video clip they produced.The Gangnam Style was done professionally well ,I never thought of doing it on a thread mill.
May Rinpoche attain speedy recovery using the Tread mill…
The video is so funny and creative. So much thoughtfulness and care goes into the gift. Not forgetting the ever smooth dance moves by Moh Mei!!!
