I’d like to share an sms I received from the choreographer, Margaret, who has been working hard to train the ‘girls’ up and sending me great pictures:

Dear Rinpoche,
The ‘agua’ r getting themselves ready at Kechara Care lounge.
They r enjoying a moment of their lives to be a real woman, a real queen. Look at all of them, they r so happy n teasing each other. KIM is here interviewing each performer n filming the making n dressing up process.

Thank u.

Margaret (real woman) in the centre was the one who conceptualized, came up with dances and choreographed the whole show!! Yes and Margaret is a great painter also. Here is Margaret the Mamasan with her swans…hehehe…Margaret worked very hard for weeks with the ‘gals’.


**********


We in Kechara really have a good time and at the same time we are very spiritual. Why not have fun on the spiritual path. Nothing wrong. I feel Dharma must suit current trends, current modes but keep the essence of dharma pure.

Thanks to all the dancers, margaret and everyone involved. It looks great and it is for a great cause!!

    The videos and pictures were so funny. Everyone were so sporting to make it a success. A great example that if we let go of our ego, we can break our limitation. I am sure they put in a lot of time for practise to produce the best effect. Well done everyone.

  2. Andrea Lai on Jan 22, 2017 at 2:17 pm

    I can’t stop laughing watching those videos. It’s so much fun and hilarious.

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing these videos and pictures.It’s hard to believed that Dharma is so much fun!!And I like this idea of MEN participate into this performance.It’s not showing of their embarrassment, it’s about letting go their ego and ignorance.Thumbs up for this.

  3. Edward Ooi on Sep 20, 2013 at 11:44 pm

    Dear Rinpoche, the picture are very funny. Mr. Ngeow and Tat Ming’s face are the creepiest and funniest of all. I think the Black Swan’s makeup is too much and my favourite is the White Swan because their dancing moves are funny. I think Eric Choong really enjoyed being one of the Wonder Girls. Hahaha!

  4. Vinnie Tan on Jul 29, 2013 at 1:10 am

    It is just amazing how sporty all of them are. They are so multi-talented. So many of them are good with what they are doing, doing Dharma work, and now dressing up and dance. I believe that it was a challenge for them when they first started, but from the videos, I think they are really good. They are willing to dress up as females to dance. Most professional male dancers will never dress up as girls to dance, even if they choreographed a very feminine dance they will never do that.

    It is just amazing how these Kechara man put down their ego and dressed like that to raise funds for charity.

  5. Julien Roth on Jun 30, 2013 at 9:23 pm

    HAhahahahah,i remember seeing them live! They were actually really good and VERY funny, i was actually convinced that they were real women. Hahaha, this post brought make some good and funny memories 🙂 thank you for Sharing Rinpoche.

  6. Carmen Koo on Sep 18, 2011 at 2:34 pm

    Oh my god! I remember this when I was a new member of Kechara, and loving the spontaniety in each of these guys although I didn’t know many of them. Looking back now, after getting to know them, this clip has a larger impact on me.

    I remember thinking to myself then whoa, why do they have to do this?

    Now I know that it is a training in itself, to let down one’s ego and attachment to beauty for the benefit of others. What a brilliant method to practise; that is incorporated with a modern twist.

    In Kechara, Dharma is fun, entertaining, uncertain, spontaneous and harmonious. It really is one big family and we can only thank H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche for giving us this precious opportunity in this life to come close to the Dharma.

  7. Wan Wai Meng on Sep 14, 2011 at 6:03 pm

    Not very sure how I pulled through but I suppose it was an exercise of letting go of who we are or stick on to a particular identity. As throughout many lifetimes we have changed many roles, sexes and personalities why do we hold on to our identity so strongly?

    Plus I suppose it helps me to see how much women have to do make themselves beautiful for their husbands, boyfriend etc. I suppose i appreciate women much better for all that they do on a daily basis.

  8. wong kok thai on Sep 14, 2011 at 5:23 pm

    saya adalah seekor angsa hitam dari penunjukan ini, saya amat bangga dan gembira apabila Tsem Rinpoche bagi saya peluang untuk menyertai penunjukan ini, penunjukan ini adalah penunjukan kebajikan untuk fund raising bagi kechara house dan sampai sekarang saya masih ingat semua penunjukan, kechara house boleh, pehiburan dan kebajikan boleh berlaku pada masa dan tempat yang sama , terima kasih, wong kok thai

  9. Margaretlee on Aug 17, 2010 at 12:30 am

    I honestly enjoyed and loved every single moment of the rehearsal with all of them. I still remember those sms’s Wai Meng sent me regarding how to act and dance on stage before the actual show. He asked me for advice and I felt that he really wanted to get himself prepared to make the show a success. He sure has come a long way and I am so so happy for him.

    Same with Tat Ming, He was very resistent to the idea of being a swan when Rinpoche asked him to. But he overcomed it and guess what, I see a happier, more opened Tat Ming now. This is not just my observation, I heard many many good comments from our many kechara members of how Tat ming has changed. I am so happy for him. These are the satisfaction money can’t buy!

    To the lovely gals in “Wanna Be Girls” and “Swan Legs”, I love you all and thank you for working so hard and patiently during all the late night rehearsals. I really don’t mind to be your “Mamasan” at all:-)

    Like Rinpoche said, “Why not have fun on the spiritual path. Nothing wrong. I feel Dharma must suit current trends, current modes but keep the essence of dharma pure.” If you comtemplate well, the “Swan Legs” and the “Wanna be Girls” performances in itself is already a Dharma teaching and lesson there.

  10. Wan Wai Meng on Aug 12, 2010 at 4:32 am

    This is something I will remember forever I suppose a black ugly swan lol. Took me two weeks to overcome my mental resistance to doing the show. but I am glad I gave it my all. It has many lessons the one that made me willing to go along with it was when I finally told myself ‘let others win’ and have a good laugh . 🙂

  11. Voon Chin on Aug 2, 2010 at 11:36 am

    Agree with you Michelle.It is practicing exchanging self with others in a fun way.
    Women got egos too although they don’t manifest it so obviously like men.
    I believe women switching roles can also be beneficial. Switching roles, help us realize we all have a bit of man & woman in us and become less gender bias.

  12. Voon Chin on Aug 2, 2010 at 11:21 am

    Hi,JParis,Andrew,
    Samsara can be nirvana if we know how to create the right causes to make things happen.
    Bryan is beautiful because he was a very patient Mr/Miss Whoever in past lives and had been offering lots of flowers to Buddha.
    Actually, karmic principles are the fairest laws in this universe.
    We stop getting impatient and angry at others, show forbearance and kindness and make daily flower and water offerings, we can become beautiful too : ))

  13. Michelle on Jul 25, 2010 at 9:01 pm

    What a fantastic idea!!
    This help to cut down the men’s ego and learn to respect women better. Women have been exploited by all the men ruled socities since decades ago be it west or east. Gender equality can only be reached when men stop exploiting and abusing the women.
    Bravo to Mr Ngeow, Nicholas, Thierry, TatMeng, Eric, and all the ‘gals’. You look so cute and sexy. I like Margaret’s brilliant idea. Good to let the men to learn to be women.

  14. Eric on Jul 21, 2010 at 12:40 pm

    Oh my dearest darling Jojo,
    Your group clearly has talent but one diamond shines brighter than all!
    Its time to do a Beyonce and leave the wannabe girls!
    With me as your agent, we’ll build your career in Hadjai, Batam or even Batu Pahat!!
    xoxo Eric

  15. Paris on Jul 19, 2010 at 11:51 pm

    Andrew: it’s okay, we’ll focus on INNER BEAUTY, hmph! The world will love us for the beacon of light we will become and the glorious sunshine that will radiate out from our hearts hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

  16. Datuk May Phng on Jul 19, 2010 at 9:18 pm

    WoW, What a show our own Wanna-Be-Girls and Swans both white and black put on during our Fund Raising dinner on 18 July.
    Besides fund raising, our wonderful Kecharians really made it a FUN raising event.
    It is so nice that so many people were shown that Dharma is creative and fun.
    Kudos to Margaret and our stars.

  17. Shirley Tan on Jul 19, 2010 at 6:45 pm

    I still cannot get over how graceful and “in the mode” Tat Ming was, playing the swan. I dare say he stopped playing at some point and became the swan. He was truly superb! I would have thought that he took lessons when he was young!
    Wai Meng was, er….hating every minute? HAHAHA. I think he had to just let go and enjoy himself in the end! Hahaha. What a great sport! Even Fat Monk looked like he totally enjoyed himself.
    I think the testament of their success came, after the whole show. Everyone lined up to take pictures with them. EVERYONE!!! They were all mobbed! The Wanna-Be Girls and Swans were like celebrity stars, swamped by their adoring fans – young and old, men and women!
    This is truly Dharma, Kechara Style! With a hip, cool and forward thinking Guru, anything is possible and IS possible!

  18. Joe Ang on Jul 19, 2010 at 6:09 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,
    It is a privilege and real honor to be able to dance and entertain our guests at the dinner last night. Many thanks to Margaret (our mamasan), who choreographed and put everything together for us. After learning and performing this dance, I must say that being a lady sure ain’t easy. You’ve gotta put on the make up, the hair, the stockings, the heels (those are the real killers) painful! But it was worth it! It is for us at Kechara to reach out to more people and to help the helpless. Where else will I get a chance to perform the WonderGirl’s dance?
    I’m very very happy to be part of this performance as it is an experience that money can’t buy. The other Girls (Eric, Bryan, Peter, Chia) and the Swans (Thierry, Nicholas, Albert, Allan, Wai Meng, Tat Ming, Mr.Ngeow, FM), they are super! Though we practiced till late most of the nights, I am sure that all of us are very happy to be able to do Dharma and at the same time, get to know each other better. It’s been a wonderful experience and I really hope and pray that our dance have, and will create more awareness to the people out there about Kechara. May Kechara House and KSK grow bigger and better in order to benefit more and more people.
    With much love and respect,
    Joe Ang

  19. Susan Lim on Jul 19, 2010 at 5:37 pm

    hahaha…you were an amazing swan. i love the move you did..how you “swam” across the stage! haha…love it.

  20. Susan Lim on Jul 19, 2010 at 5:33 pm

    Talking about transformation..boy, these guys TRANSFORMED over night! Got into the role and was super confident too. My god, Tat Ming looked like a real ballerina. Tat ming even commented to me how elegant the dance moves were. We love you Tat Ming!
    Mr Ngeow, I don’t think I’ll ever forget how you looked like on stage. Attending your dharma talks from now on will certainly give me a different view of you…a true sport! Bryan, you looked hot hot hot. You don’t look like a wannabe but a real hot chick! 🙂
    All of you really were amazing! and i love Rinpoche’s comments on the photos..hehehe….

  22. Sharon Saw on Jul 19, 2010 at 4:48 pm

    Oh what a night! Everything was spectacular… the performers were topnotch… much better than some drag shows i’ve seen! It was great to see them perform at the finale again – a wonderful end to a wonderful evening..
    The kechara bazaar in the foyer was thronging with people… the ladrang posters were fabulous… the progamme proceeded very well… even though we started a bit late, we didn’t finish too late. The mood was upbeat and funds were raised joyfully.
    Aside from the star performers, there were many people who helped put things together behind the scenes – all the volunteers who were ushering and spotting the bidders, manning the receptions, who packed the gift bags, who assembled the little TV kiosks (believe you me, those take a loooooong time) etc. (and they had to be disassembled at the end of the night!)
    This whole event was really an example of interdependency – everyone had to play a part, some more outwardly, some behind the scenes, and the best thing is that no one was looking for glory but just to participate to raise funds and awareness for Kechara House and KSK. Fantastic job everyone! Congrats to all who contributed!
    And yes – Bryan is beautiful hahahaha 🙂
    Thank you Rinpoche for letting us all contribute to and enjoy this mandala called Kechara.

  23. keng tan on Jul 19, 2010 at 4:43 pm

    Andrew/Paris – life is a bit unfair. Sigh! Perhaps one of many good things from dharma practice is that we can meditate on impermanence.

  24. Nicholas Yu on Jul 19, 2010 at 3:56 pm

    I totally agree with you. We have been practicing together and I really can see them with no hesitation to really put down their ego and just do. It is really a great experience not just becoming a “girl” but letting go yourself…doing something different (which for some of us we call it funny & weird) but we know that it will benefit so much people….it’s a practice! and it’s a good one! I can never ever thought that I’ll be in such a dress, put on such make up AND got to dance in such away in front of so many people.
    Thanks to Rinpoche to make me realize that the attachment to whom we are actually is meaningless if we do not make good use of our self to help & benefiting others. We can be volatile and flexible in our life for others. That is what Rinpoche’s doing now and future.
    TQ again Rinpoche. This stage play really a practice to me and I enjoy it.

  25. Andrew James Boon on Jul 19, 2010 at 2:38 pm

    He is so much beautiful than most of us guys too!!!! Truly is samsara… proof! hehehehe

  26. Paris on Jul 19, 2010 at 1:57 pm

    PS isn’t there something slightly unfair about the way Bryan is so much more beautiful than most of the rest of us girls? Samsara is this way, I suppose!!

  27. Paris on Jul 19, 2010 at 1:54 pm

    It goes without saying that all the “girls” did a most fantastic job (all of course, under the brilliant direction and choreography by our very own Margaret). I was really rather surprised they pulled it together so fast, with less than a week of rehearsing… considering too that none of them have ever danced (well, bopping about in clubs doesn’t really count).
    I think the best part of the whole evening was knowing how much some of them really didn’t want to be up there at first (ngeow, tatming, wai meng) – we can’t forget that momentous evening in Boathouse where we grilled them and just about “forced” them to dance. And they did it! They let their guard down, let go their weird attachments, let their hair down (what little of it they had) and went all out for Dharma. That was what really made it the best “show” of the evening 🙂

  28. Paris on Jul 19, 2010 at 1:45 pm

    And what a splendid swan Thierry was! (as they all were).
    I bet never in his life did he ever think, “when I grow up, I want to be a ballerina, a girl one, with a tutu and white feathers for eyebrows.” See, in dharma ANYTHING is possible….!

  29. Janice on Jul 19, 2010 at 1:07 pm

    Absolultely hilarious, charming, “sexy”, touching performance last night. This is the first time i get to see Kecharians in Motion. The black swans are amazing – all the serious guys as we know them off stage. I wouldnt have guessed Mr Ngeow or Tat Meng on stage. The Girls are great, you guys have good legs, you know, hahaha. Kudos to Margaret too for “taming” all of your limbs to performance. Thank you, thank you.

  30. Andrew James Boon on Jul 19, 2010 at 10:23 am

    They did a wonderful job at the Charity Dinner last night…. fabulous! Am very proud of each and everyone of the performers especially my baby! Well done!!! I think I was whisling the loudest… hehehe.
    Fantastic!!!!
    By the way Rinpoche, love the new tweek in format in the there are “suggestions” after the posts. Love it! An on the right a single line for each “recent post” is also much neater!
    Thierry is resting poor swan!

  31. Ooi Pe on Jul 19, 2010 at 10:00 am

    The night is over – exhibits taken down, chairs and tables stashed away, all the deicious food gobbled down, holy items up for bid were generously invited home by the successful bidders. Family and friends came together for another wonderful event, many lingering on well into the night and early this morning.
    NO doubt about it – the Girls danced their way into everybody’s hearts. There were wives & parents in the audience who could not recognise their darlings up there on the stage.
    I am not sure if our “family” was the LOUDEST (whoop, catcalls cheers) but one thing I am sure of – everyone involved in last night’s event deserve all the applause.

  32. Ivy on Jul 19, 2010 at 6:52 am

    Bryan Ho… WOW =D

  33. keng tan on Jul 19, 2010 at 12:50 am

    No wonder the mirrors cracked. They are such a smashing bunch. And to top it all they are a fabulous dharma bunch of people who are not afraid to be alternate and I can tell they are loving every second of it.

  34. benji on Jul 18, 2010 at 11:47 am

    The DEVOTION, COMMITMENT and SACRIFICE from the ‘girls’ and EVERY SINGLE member of the team, crew and organiser is the MOST BEAUTIFUL ACT – these JEWELS in Rinpoche’s mandala INSPIRE me so! Thank you very much, “Kam-sia che-che”!

  35. mima on Jul 18, 2010 at 11:07 am

    This is so funny, hilarious!

  36. Jay Jae Chong on Jul 18, 2010 at 6:16 am

    OMG!!!
    Our darling Chia does really look like Chia Fu Ren (妇人)in her full maternal glory!!!
    She really looks beautiful though I think it might be really hard work taking care of so many swans and swanks of different disposition and sizes. What could be more interesting than having all swans lined up and have people bid for these swans to do their best for their clientelles tonight!
    Kudos to everyone:)
    JJ

  37. weeliang on Jul 18, 2010 at 6:09 am

    Dear Wanna-be girls and swans,
    I would just like to share that we helped another sick homeless get medical attention and food tonight. He has some sort of breathing disorder and infected lungs. We admitted him to Hospital Kuala Lumpur.
    Every step of the dance you guys will be making tomorrow and all your rehearsals plays a part of the hope we bring to the streets and the people who are in need. So, please dance your hearts out!! In my eyes, you guys are Wonder Women!! super heroes!!
    May the stage light up with your love and tenacity for the dharma!!
    with much love and even more respect,
    Wee Liang

  38. Reader #9 on Jul 18, 2010 at 4:16 am

    From all the pictures I’ve seen of Mr. Ngeow, he comes off as a serious tightass. Seeing him in drags and lipstick and most importantly, having a lot of fun kneed my expectations in the balls!
    Also, somewhat related, an ad I stumbled upon today.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdpjM3OeLSo
    May I also develop the strength to overcome my rigidity like Mr. Ngeow.

  39. Judy on Jul 18, 2010 at 12:42 am

    He He … this sneak preview from Margaret and the captions from Rinpoche is so very funny! Can’t wait to see them perform tomorrow night!
    Wai Meng … if you do make your appearance to e-division next week, please alert us so we won’t pass out! Love thy neighbours, you know …. Allan looks like he is enjoying every bit of the glamour and attention he is getting! He is having a great time. Albert looks like a swan who badly needed a rest! It must be from too much of practice ! It’s easier selling a wealth-vase than to be a swan!
    The swans and wanna-be-girls have stepped out of their comfort zone to make this dance a success and dare to be different for the cause of Dharma. Kudos!

  40. patsygooi on Jul 18, 2010 at 12:35 am

    Hahahaha this is so fun! And who ever said Dharma is boring, they are wrong. Look at our Wanna Be Girls and Swank Legs. Wow! Fanstatic!!!Sporting!!! I can’t wait to see you guys live on stage. All of you are such naturals. Kudos to all of you. You are true Kecharians. !!! Everything for the dharma and for a good cause you guys will go all out to do it!!! You guys are definitely flying off to Kechara Paradise!!!!KECHARIANS ‘BOLEH’

  41. Maggie Chang on Jul 17, 2010 at 10:44 pm

    chickle? i meant chuckle!!! hehehe

  44. Andrew James Boon on Jul 17, 2010 at 7:03 pm

    If I were on a chair I would have most certainly fallen off it. Too funny and with even funnier captions! Funnies aside and without biased I think it takes great courage and supression of ego or lack of to undertake such a task.
    Let not the wide smiles, painted or otherwise (chickle!) deter us from the objective and hard work our Dharma brothers (sisters?) have put in often right into the wee hours of the mornings.
    We are truly blessed to be in the presence of, what Anutie Han Nee has so aptly put, Dharma in Motion! Examples of pure dedication to behold. I am so looking forward to tomorrow’s event!

    For the readers here that do not know me, I am a white swan (it is my “natural state”).
    I was actually interviewed yesterday and one of the questions I was asked was :
    “Did anyone in particular surprised you in taking part of this show ?”
    I replied that indeed, the people in ‘black-swan’ surprised me, Mr. Ngeow, Tat-Ming, Fat Monk and Wai-Meng. Then I thought about it again after the interview, and I think that what would really have surprised me is that they would have said no, then I would have been chocked and sadened instead of being pleasantly surprised.
    To the black-swans, HUURRRAAYYY!
    To the white-swan, WE ARE THE BEST!
    To the “wanna-be-girls”, IT’S IN YOUR SKIN!

  46. Lim Han Nee on Jul 17, 2010 at 5:33 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,
    This IS Dharma in Motion! Seeing Mr Ngeow and having to switch one’s perception of an awesome Lamrim teacher to that of the Black Swan dancer trying to turn on ‘her’ charm and allure; or the perception of the quietly serious KH administrator to that of a ballerina trying to exude charm and grace with a smile – a 360 degree turn? This is really Dharma – ego down to ground zero. Can’t we all do it as well? Here I am laughing at this very entertaining post whilst scratching myself bloody and also laughing at my great discomfort over my terrible attack of skin rash, probably purification from the Setrap Retreat?

  47. Shirley Tan on Jul 17, 2010 at 4:03 pm

    I think the captions Rinpoche wrote below all the photos made them all the more funny! I couldn’t stop laughing from the beginning to the end.
    Yes, only Kecharians are that BRAVE or that CRAZY!
    We love the Dharma so much that we wouldn’t mind doing the silliest thing and making fools out of ourselves. Well, in some cases, the Wanna-be Girls are actually very stunning! Like Bryan Ho!!!! He looks like a supermodel or Japanese pop star sensation!
    Dharma is really fun, funny, exciting and it makes us look at ourselves differently. In this case, it also makes you look at us differently.
    As Rinpoche says many times, when it is all done from the heart, with the right motivation, it is a good cause in itself.
    I cannot wait for the show tomorrow night!

  48. Ethan Chu on Jul 17, 2010 at 1:34 pm

    At first, many were reluctant to be in a dress, the difficult dance moves and everyone was extremely busy with their work… But everyone worked so hard at this performance and started to have fun “cam whoring”… it was hilarious!
    After a few days of “intense” rehearsals, all actually got really comfortable and really put everything together and the performance is stunning!!! It touches my heart that regardless of your sexuality, age and status; they all went through this and put down their egos coz they are know they are doing it for a good cause.
    Guys, be there at the dinner to witness the hard work and effort of the swans and the wannabe girls. Can’t wait really!!!!

  49. May Ong on Jul 17, 2010 at 1:14 pm

    Watching the Black and White Swank gals and legs in sexy stockings were great! The videos were so funny …. I can’t stop laughing!
    Kechara members would do anything for Dharma!
    Great job and can’t wait till dinner tomorrow night to raise funds for a good cause – our new gompa or temple!

  50. Nicholas BP on Jul 17, 2010 at 12:09 pm

    I could not believe that our teacher Mr.Ngeow?@#$% in that costume..Eric natural..Robert a Latin blonde..others what can i say
    lol…but their ego dropped to zero.That’s DHARMA!

  51. Josh Akers on Jul 17, 2010 at 10:19 am

    Tat ming makes me feel not so bad when I dressed in drag, on the forums. Shout out to Wai Meng… Looking good. Anybody else think Bryan Ho looks like a professional, um, ladie model? Excellent job on makeup too.

    A Chinese ghost marriage is a ceremony that unites a deceased person with a living or deceased person. The family of the deceased usually arranges the marriage. Despite its long history and unique practices, the original purposes of ghost marriages remain largely unknown. The ghost is a classical image in Chinese culture, have a history stretching back 3,000 years. This tradition dates back to the first Chinese dynasty, making it at least 2200 years old, while others even note that it’s roughly 3000 years old! Despite reports of it still being practiced in remote Chinese villages in China,Taiwan and certain Asian countries . Ghost marriages are acceptable and symbolic in especially in Taiwanese culture, with many social elements related to them. Interestingly enough Li Kim and team did a great research ,spoke to Professor Lin Mao-Hsien, a Taiwanese folklore scholar on these interesting tradition. Reading this article with a better understanding of the ghost marriages. The story of the man by the name Wu Wen-Da, who had been dreaming about a dead woman named Zheng Su Mei truly interesting.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Li Kim .

    Interesting account of the investigation of Supiyati an Indonesian woman’s body filled with needles, nails, and wires.
    After many efforts to find a cure in their hometown never found any success, Dark Magic is an incredibly powerful form of witchcraft that draws on malevolent powers.Black magic is a belief system that is not supported by scientific evidence. However, psychologists and neuroscientists have studied magic to understand how it affects people’s perceptions and beliefs. Regardless of the path forward, the study and understanding of black magic will undoubtedly remain a subject of enduring fascination and scholarly inquiry.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    The basis of the Buddha’s teaching is to be found in the Four Noble Truths. The Buddha teachings describe the nature of suffering and the path to its end. Suffering is unavoidable and affects everyone. Craving and ignorance lead to suffering. Whatever we do have consequences, so living in a way that minimizes harm can prevent future pain. Good to cultivate good qualities and abandoning non-virtuous thoughts and actions. Abandoning dishonest livelihood and living a life of right livelihood. Being kind and compassionate towards oneself and others. The Fourth Noble Truth is the truth of the Path that leads to the cessation of suffering.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Genla for this profound teachings.

    Dorje Shugden is a protector in Tibetan Buddhism, originally a minor protector in the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism. Later adopted by the Gelug school. Has been worshipped throughout history by several schools of Tibetan Buddhism. As a wrathful manifestation of Manjushri, the Wisdom Buddha, who grants wisdom, clarity, and concentration. A protector who fulfils wishes and prayers, brings material resources,healing, and protects from harm to those who sincerely rely on. Also helps us to clear obstacles, and attracts opportunities for success, growth and in many ways. Many practitioners have benefited ultimately for helping them stay on the spiritual path. Rely on Dorje Shugden consistently over times, we will see his graceful yet powerful assistance in our lives. The prayers is indeed very powerful and have me change my life.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this simplified daily prayer. Easy and convenient for everyone.

    The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge. Part of being successful is about asking questions and listening to the answers. Asking questions is the first way to begin change. Knowledge shared is knowledge squared. A great way to learn by reading and asking various enlightened aspects of Tsongkapa. I am still learning even I have revisit this blog on and off. Still trying to remember names of great lamas.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this post.

    Thangka serve as important teaching tools depicting the life of the Buddha, various influential lamas and other deities and bodhisattvas. Thangkas have also traditionally been used as a teaching tool. Tsem Rinpoche received a precious and beautiful gift of Vajrayogini from Ms. Wahyu. She have taken months and did researched and painted it beautifully. Looking at it is a blessing.

    Born in 1905 in the village of Nangsang in the Kham province of eastern Tibet HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was a master of philosophical debate. He was a powerful Tantric practitioner, well known throughout the three great Gelug monasteries of central Tibet. Wow in an early stage of his childhood he performed various magical miracles such as able to invoke a female naga goddess in a nearby lake. A master of sutra and tantra, H H Kyabje Zong Rinpoche had performed countless holy deeds and gave thousands of Dharma teachings during his lifetime. A biography of a great Master who possessed an extraordinary memory and was renowned for healing activities. Zong Rinpoche was the Guru of many great masters. Interesting read of all the miraculous stories of Kyabje Zong Rinpoche.

    All thanks to our Guru that we are given a chance to get connected to the Sublime Queen, Vajra Yogini and collect merits along the way. The idea of making real gold-paint offerings to Vajra Yogini in KFR is indeed awesome for everyone. In Buddhism, symbolic offerings are made to the Triple Gem, giving rise to contemplative gratitude and inspiration. Making offerings to the Buddhas are acts of generosity and therefore highly meritorious.
    Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands.

    ndia is a land of diverse cultures, traditions, and spiritual practices. They allow religious freedom among its most enigmatic and intriguing spiritual sects are the Aghoris, a group of ascetics who are often surrounded by mystery, fear, and fascination. But the Tibetan leadership creates religious differences leading to discrimination, violence, hatred and bias against Shugden practitioners. Everyone has their rights to choose and practice whatever they want. The ban of Dorje Shugden is therefore unnecessary and illogical . In recent years religious freedom has improves.
    Interesting blog of a sect of ascetic sadhus who practice a unique and extreme form of Hinduism. They are the only surviving sect of the Kapalika tradition, a Tantric form of Shaivism originated in Medieval India. The Aghoris are a fascinating and mysterious group of Hindu ascetics, who have a distinct and radical approach to spirituality. They are known for their bizarre and unconventional rituals. They live in cremation grounds, smearing ashes on their bodies, using human skulls as utensils, and eating flesh from human corpses. Aghoris are Hindu devotees of Shiva the god of destruction and transformation, and they seek to attain liberation from the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. They see themselves as healers, both of the body and the soul. Many believe that their intense penance and devotion give them extraordinary powers.They engage in practices that challenge conventional ideas of purity, such as meditating in cremation grounds, consuming what others deem inedible, and embracing what society often shuns.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting sharing.

    Saying thank you and showing our gratitude with a handwritten message can make all the difference in our life.At times, when our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has reason to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. None of us who achieves success without the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge is this help with gratitude. Let us rise up and be thankful. Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.Its gratitude that helps us to grow and expand . And also gratitude brings joy and laughter into our life and into the lives of all those around us. Spiritually it unlocks the fullness of life and turning what we have into enough in life.

    Wangze is one of Dorje Shugden’s emanations and is the most powerful deity to propitiate in order to assist us when we are facing difficult situations with difficult people and positive influence on others. Wangze’s practice can cultivate energies of power, influence, and the ability to positively influence others. Practising this practice with knowledge and understanding we may gain a firm footing on the spiritual path bringing benefit to their lives.
    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

    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
