Respects to Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche
One of the lamas who first recognised me as a tulku back in 1987 was His Eminence Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche. His Eminence is a world renown healing lama from Sera Monastery who now resides in Italy thanks to the ban on Dorje Shugden. Despite the obstacles, Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche has worked tirelessly for many decades to promote world peace and provide social services to the community. He has set up schools to provide education to the underprivileged, and clinics to provide medical assistance that is both based on Western and Eastern disciplines. Gangchen Rinpoche has met with various world leaders to establish initiatives that foster harmony, and also does pujas and rituals to stabilise and bless the environments.
Back in 1994, I had the great honour to host His Eminence Gangchen Rinpoche in my house in Gaden Monastery
As some of you may know, I have many teachers who I am very devoted to. I don’t simply take teachings from anybody but Lama Gangchen, as His Eminence is also known, is one of the teachers I totally respect. So I have taken teachings from him in the past and consider him one of my gurus.
I recently sent some of my students to Gangchen Rinpoche’s centre in Albagnano, Italy. My students went to make offerings to Gangchen Rinpoche of some books, gifts and other items. I am told that Lama Gangchen was very happy to see them and granted them an audience of several hours. Our Kechara team updated Gangchen Rinpoche on our recent projects, and Gangchen Rinpoche looked at everything very closely and asked them many questions. My students also asked Rinpoche some questions on my behalf regarding certain practices, which Gangchen Rinpoche answered for them. Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche is someone I respect very much and his healing works, writings, books and meditations have healed many people in the past and now. He is famed for having very powerful clairvoyance, visions and receives messages from dakinis. His messages from divine beings manifest in messages and also special healing meditations for disciples. It is very common for Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche to have powerful visions from various holy beings such as the various Buddhas and Dharma protectors as well.
I am very happy that my teacher rejoiced to see the works we are doing here in Kechara. It is a great blessing for us when we are able to please the mind of such a grand master. So I thank my students who went to Italy to update this old holy lama in this way. When Gangchen Rinpoche says he is pleased our works in Kechara are flourishing, it means we are definitely on the right track because a lama of Gangchen Rinpoche’s attainments is only pleased by activities that benefit others. Please enjoy these pictures below which my team took and which I share with you all here.

Thank you Rinpoche for sharing these beautiful pictures of the Kecharians’s visits which is a life time memories for them. May Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche works further grow and may his aspirations come true.
By the strong connection with Gangchen Rinpoche, it instilled faith in me that we are so blessed to have H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche with us. Namaste!
Lama Gancghen is one of the coolest lamas, may he carry on turning on the wheel of dharma. To me he is like Medicine Buddha healing minds and bodies of people.
Dear Rinpoche,
Thank You for the wonderful news. It is good to see these pictures with H.E. Kyabje Gangchen Rinpoche who is clearly pleased which Rinpoche’s work and devoted students.
What a honour and blessing to receive the precious stones with H.E. Gangchen’s blessing and healing properties!
Dorje Shugden is known all over the world and benefits many – how can such high Lamas be tricked by a spirit – how could their work florish ?
May the ban on the Buddha of Wisdom Dorje Shugden come down so that many more can benefit!

Thank you Rinpoche for sharing the memorable photos of our Kechara Team visiting H.E. Kyabje Ganchen Rinpoche on your behalf in Italy.
We are truly glad that H.E. Kyabje Ganchen Rinpoche is pleased with the progress of Kechara here in Malaysia to spread dharma and to promote awareness to lift the ban of the practice of Dorje Shugden by the Dalai Lama.
With the blessing of H.E. Kyabje Ganchen Rinpoche ,we hope in the near future ,more people could benefit from the practice of Dorje Shugden when the ban is lifted worldwide….
Excellent work.
Its marvelleous to see H.E. Kyabje Ganchen Rinpoche looking so wonderfully good. His eminence is course one of the teachers whom our Tsem Tulku Rinpoche considers with great respect as one of his Gurus. Ganchen Rinpoche is famed and well known for having very powerful clairvoyance, visions and he respects very much Ganchen’s meditational healing works too. Our Rinpoche sent his students to update his Guru in Italy about our Kechara’s status in Malaysia; Ganchen seems very pleased with Kechara’s good progress, which shows we are definetly on the right track! This inspiring feedback made our Guru very delighted and happy too, for such results of feedback comes from a high guru whom he believes has very special powerful visions from various holy beings and Dharma protectors, for which we will be well blessed!

I am very humbled to see such great masters connecting. May the dharma flourish worldwide. Thank you to the team, and thank you rinpoche for sharing such good news. I am but a mere nothing in the infinite samsara, but seeing posts like this gives me hope.
Really blessed to see these photos. Thank you Rinpoche.
Beautiful pictures and update. Thank you Rinpoche for sharing. It so lovely to see H.E. Gangchen Rinpoche and even better to know he is pleased with all of our works. I love his altar, although it is so jam packed it looks like every nook and corner is covered and imbued with Buddhas’ magical energies and blessings.
Just from these pictures I can see that H.E. Gangchen Rinpoche holds Rinpoche very close and dear because everything that Rinpoche wishes, whether it is an update to Gangchen Rinpoche, picture, request to bless items or gifts to Gangchen Rinpoche, he receives them with warmth and delight, he listens carefully and pays full attention. He would even place the Amitayus gifted to him on the same throne as H.H. Trijang Rinpoche… allowing us to collect much merits! Thank you to the team who went there to update H.E. Gangchen Rinpoche, hope we will one day meet H.E. Gangchen Rinpoche again.
Dear Tsen Rinpoche and fortunate students, thank you for charing those precious moments. May you have a long and healthy life and continuously and successfully flourish on spreading the Dharma. To the perfect Budha, the all accomplished one, my beloved root guru Lama Gangchen, may you have a long, a very long, an extremely long and healthy life. May I and those that wish, accumulate the merits to be reborn at your holy feet until we attain the state of Buddha hood and so, be able to liberate other beings from Samsara. May all be auspicious, now and forever !
