Snakes, Roosters and Pigs
This is a new book that Kechara Media & Publications just came out with. I had completely forgotten it was coming out and it was a nice surprise.
In the book I speak about how our mind creates negative karma just by existing and being… as strange as that might sound. The book’s not too thick, easy for ppl who want to understand more in a shorter read.
I hope it benefits people tremendously into looking deeper into issues that can be resolved through sheer force of will and bring much lightness to the mind.
Much prayers,
Tsem Rinpoche

I love this book! This is the very first book that I read after joining Kechara. It is so well written! Very detailed and fun to read.. I love all of Rinpoche’s teachings! =D
May all of us be rid of the 3 root poisons as they are the very reason we are still here in samsara..

Dear reader,
If you’re still not convinced about this book, here is something to help you make the right decision! The book was based on a teaching given by Rinpoche many years ago, and here is a sneak peek of the original video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vri5m_Vu5c0
Watch and be convinced NOW.
I would order the book AT ONCE without any hesitation!
The only thing that disturbes me a a little, well, you know I am perfectionistic – is that that on the back cover you are being described as “electric”. Electricity is something people feelö endangered by and is an very lower form of energy than spiritual bliss. I do love you too much, and rearding me having done an apprenticeship as a typesetter from 1979 till 1982…
And as I said I don’t care how I get this book as long (as I ever read it in this lifetime), but I personally would pay ten times as much as the price it is sold by in the shops if that was required. Love.
This book is short but it is bursting at its seams with Dharma wisdom and wit! What’s amazing is that it comes with the original DVD featuring a recording of the very same teaching itself. What is very practical is that the book is short and is at a palateable size for most Malaysians. On top of that, it is edited with the casual reader in mind who are looking for something substantial and enriching to read.
Snakes, Roosters and Pigs has got nothing to do with farm animals or even Chinese zodiac although one might immediately think so upon first glance. The animals is a very Buddhistic view of the three psychic poisons of human existence. That is ignorance, anger and desire and it governs everyone and compels everyone to act in such a way that perpetuates our suffering and our rebirths into obvious and subtle sufferings. It sounds complicated but it is not because Rinpoche has a special way of teaching that makes his teachings very relational and easy to absorb by almost everyone.

PS isn’t it just too cool that Rinpoche’s all over MPH?!!
A little more to add about what’s in this book:
The book starts with an overview of the three main poisons that plague our minds and make us miserable. The three nastiest beasts that wreck havoc in our heads: the snake represents anger, the roosters represents pride/desire and the pig, ignorance.
Tying this explanation in with karma, Rinpoche skilfully and very wisely shows us how, even if there is a crazy cacophony of animals bleating away inside us, it doesn’t have to stay that way forever – we can “kill those beasts!” It just takes a little change in perspective.
Rinpoche shows us the logical workings of karma and offers us a new way of thinking and acting. From there, we learn the secrets for creating different, more peaceful happy situations for ourselves now and way into the future. Animal farm becomes less chaotic, less noisy and we find a lot more peace that we have a firm and decided control over. Wouldn’t it be nice to just always know how to be happier?
This really is a fantastic book. I’ve watched the DVD version many times as this teaching was given a few years back. The book is compiled and edited very well. The key points sticks out which aids in the learning process. Snakes, Roosters and Pigs is not unique to Tibetan Buddhism…it is a teachings which cuts across all schools of Buddhism and lineages. And Rinpoche presents it so well by using many examples which we can relate to. Do promote this book to all your friends..the wisdom in this books is applicable to anyone who is open…irregardless of their religion!
Thank you Rinpoche for this teaching…it’s not very long, but will take me a lifetime or more to master it with much gratefulness!
Not to sound biased or anything… but this really is a FANTASTIC BOOK and I highly recommend it to everyone. SRP was one of Rinpoche’s most classic and beloved teachings, so KMP decided to transform it into a book so people can take it around with them to read. It’s a slim, light volume and very light reading…(something even the most read-phobic of you can manage okay!) but packed full of tremendous insights that will give you a whole new way of looking at the world. get it now now now! it’s in all major bookstores in KL and online on http://www.kechara.com/eshop
