Wei Theng joins full-time!
Dear friends,
Another wonderful and successful lady has decided to join Kechara full-time! Wei Theng is a devoted student of mine that has decided to opt for a spiritual career over her daytime job. Since last month, she has chosen to work alongside her husband, Lew in Kechara’s online-arm, E-division.
When I first heard of the news, I was so touched that I composed a poem for Wei Theng. I am very happy for her. Both Wei Theng and Lew has set an example that doing Dharma work is the way to go. Their three beautiful children will grow up surrounded by the Dharma, learning good morals and principles… and gradually becoming responsible citizens.
I have requested the Blog Team to interview her (see below). I thank Wei Theng for her support and care always. I wish her well and may she go all the way with the Dharma… May her work bring benefit to the countless of sentient beings out there.
Wei Theng, welcome!
Tsem Rinpoche
A successful corporate figure, a mother of three wonderful children and a supporting wife, Wei Theng plays many roles in her lifetime but she is one lady who never gets tired.
Ever since getting to know Kechara through her husband, Lew Kwan Leng and Liaison Phng Li Kim, Wei Theng has steadily progressed through her spiritual journey, volunteering as much as she can because she believe there is no other way than the Dharma. Notably, Wei Theng has contributed tremendously in the translation field, translating many of Rinpoche’s writings and works to Mandarin, opening up an arena for the Chinese speaking community.
Wei Theng first got curious about Kechara wondering how Datuk May Phng and Li Kim can give up their ‘successsful’ careers to do Dharma work full time. Then as her husband was contracted to work for E-Division, Wei Theng got more involved with the activities provided for example, Setrap Puja, Kechara Soup Kitchen and the Dharma teachings by Pastor Ngeow. Since then, she knew the work at Kechara was a very noble one as it is work for others.
Wei Theng was a Project Manager in the IT and telecommunications fields having more than 15 years of experience before she joined Kechara, or more specifically E-Division full time. Her skills are abundant, making her well sought after. She has led many projects and successful recruited many new businesses for her company.
Being successful in her career, what made Wei Theng give it all up to join Kechara full time? In Wei Theng’s own words, ‘ I have been thinking of doing Dharma work full time for many years even before Kechara. I always have the believe that Dharma will benefit people and let them find happiness and I should bring Dharma to more people.’ Since the very beginning, Wei Theng has already knew there was no other way than Dharma but at that time she thought she could only do Dharma work if she has money and time.
It was only after she joined Kechara and seeing the works of Rinpoche that she realized that is not the case. The many people who have devoted their time and effort to Kechara was her inspiration to go all the way with the Dharma. Wei Theng wishes to be part of the legend with Kechara in this region especially contributing her skills for the manifestation of Kechara World Peace Centre and Kechara Forest Retreat.
Working hand in hand with her husband Lew in E-division, this power couple is a great example that work can be more meaningful if it is work for others. Both were successful in their previous careers and now both have given it up for something they know will lead them to a better place eventually. They see the value in Kechara so have many others who have devoted their life to assist Rinpoche in his works.
Wei Theng has great respect for Rinpoche. In her own words, ‘Rinpoche has very big vision to spread Dharma to many people. He is compassionate, extra ordinary and loves everyone (regardless of race, up bringing, background and religion) and even animals equally with the compassion. He walks the talks and is really serious about Dharma practice.’ No doubt, Rinpoche is an inspiration for Wei Theng and was one of the main driving factors for her to join full time.
With 14 departments and growing, Wei Theng believes under the guidance of Rinpoche, Kechara is an amazing organization to be part of and she is definitely not missing the boat.
Flowers from Rinpoche to Wei Theng on her first day of work at E-Division!

I got to know Wei Theng sometime last year, and we have bonded very closely since.
She is so lovely, very hardworking, efficient, has a wonderful sense of humour (the times we just sat and laughed most happily), and what i admire her most is her sheer devotion and dedication to Rinpoche and to Rinpoche’s vision for Kechara.
I thank the Buddhas and my good karma in calling Wei Theng my dharma sister.
Another talent joins Kechara, if you meet her do speak to this very resourceful and capable lady. She is truly an asset for Kechara to have.
You have made the right choice, Kechara is the most exciting place to be now. So many things are happening as we speak. And it is a career plus we get to benefit others as well! Seh lends her deep knowledge in project management to the team.
Lew is one of the pillars of edivision, and many of our works revolve around him and his outstanding technical skills. When Lew first heard of Kechara and Rinpoche, he was actually part of a technical company engaged to revamp Rinpoche’s official website http://www.tsemtulku.com.
Along the way, as he learned and understood more about Rinpoche’s vision, he was inspired to join us to make the dream a reality. At this point, he wasn’t a student of Rinpoche’s yet, but he tirelessly gave us his time and skills.
As time passed, Lew understood the meaning of Dharma, and having received his personal sadhana from Rinpoche, he started praying and attending pujas, and the rest, like they say, is history!
I am very glad that Lew’s wife has now joined her husband in our Kechara family. Wei Theng is a very successful career and family woman, and very spiritual at heart. She is fitting in very well at edivision, and her skills in technical project management are invaluable.
This power couple is an inspiration and example to the rest of us who use family and career as an excuse not to do dharma and to do more with their lives. They show us that it is possible to engage fully in spirituality while keeping up in other aspects of life.
Congratulations, Wei Theng! And may your dharma career flourish and grow!
Congratulations Wai Theng…
I’m very happy for you and your lovely family. It’s always great to have you and Lew around, of course your 3 lovely baby girls. It’s very not easy to see a couple, sharing the same faith, walking towards the same path nowadays, especially working full time in Dharma.
Working or to serve Dharma as a career is like a doctor, nurse, fireman or someone who are ready to sacrifice their own private pleasure or time for others. Most of the parents will choose to spent more time to be with the children or bring them to holidays. But this will not bring much benefit to the children. But by working in Dharma, both of you actually show them, life is not only enjoying yourself but help other to get the same happiness too.
Thanks for making this decision and show to other people or parents by working in Dharma, it’s not hiding from the society but actually face the society and help others to face the society too.
Dear Mr Lew ans Wei Theng 雖然不認識你們，不過在kechara學習佛法，經過一段時間的學習，亦然放下世俗事業，全心全意投入佛法事業，想必，對上師的教導有用心去領會。感激你們為佛法的付出，愿為你們的加入讓kechara更壯大及成長。
I always admired a couple or a family that can do dharma together. What could be more blessed full to be like that. Wei Theng, you are very fortunate. Your kids will grown up wonderful and Dharmic. They will be the next generation to carry on Kecharian’s missions.
Lew, you must be the luckiest man in the world. How wonderful to have everyone in Kechara. Nothing else to worried anymore. We are all under the protection of the three jewels.
Congratulations Ms Wei Theng!!!!! ^^, ^^, ^^, Rejoice for you and family ^^, ^^,
Congratulations, Wei Theng and Lew! 🙂
I wish you all the best! A long healthy life. 🙂
Best regards from Germany.
Lily.
Congratulations Wei Theng! How nice. Husband and wife both in Dharma. Love the picture of you and your family. Such a loving family! Nice. May you and your family be happy and healthy always with Dharma. Welcome to Kechara’s BIG family!
我在Kechara House 认识Wei Theng ，然后我们几位同修一起上菩提道次第广论的中文班，这样就更加深一层认识对方。我看着Wei Theng 的佛法修习和知识一直在进步，我也不时的在向她讨教。。。她也非常的有耐心指点我。
因为我们以前工作的地区非常靠近，所以她也会乐意的戴我去克切拉上课，Wei Theng 我非常的幸运有你这一位同修。谢谢你。
愿你在上师的加持和三宝庇佑,佛法修持更上一层楼，去利益众生把仁波切的佛法开示发扬光大。。。我们大家一起努力吧！
Congratulations to Wei Theng for joining her husband full time into Dharma work. Now E Div has a husband and wife team in the E Div. I am also happy to know that Wei Theng has been settling in very well into E Div. I wish all the best for you Wei Theng.
Congratulations to both of you, Wei Theng and Lew.We rejoice to see that both of you are truly dedicated to spread Dharma thru your contribution towards the E division. May both of you and the whole e division team able to spread our dear Rinpoche work and vision to everyone.
With three young daughters and a spouse already working full-time in Kechara, it must have taken a very big vision ( or someone with a big vision) for the future happiness of all,for Wei Theng to step out of a high-flying corporate job,into full-time Dharma work in Kechara.
I warmly applaud Wei Theng for the courage and compassion that she has shown in joining Kechara full-time.By your fine example, you will inspire others to follow your footsteps and become part of the fast growing group of dedicated Kechara full-timers.
Congratulations, Wei Theng! I rejoice for you from the bottom of my heart!Lew, you must be walking tall!
Welcome on board !!
Another beautiful family in Dharma !!
Hi Wei Theng, Congratulations!!! Now that you’ve committed full-time with your full concentration in Dharma it will bring so much more to Chinese speaking communities and country in the near future, so many people already benefited from this blog and other online material from Kechara. Nothing of this is possible if without the effort from Rinpoche and the guys from E-Division. Thank you.
I truly rejoice that Wei Theng decided to free herself from her own prison, the invisible prison that locks all of us in one way or another when we just work for a pay cheque, a year end bonus that is not guaranteed, name, position and power.
Now, she is free. Free to pursue, as what she says here, her wish to do dharma work. Sure, she has to have enough financially to take care of her and her family needs but she does not have to fight her way up the corporate ladder that has no guarantee that the position will be hers. And even when she gets the position there is no guarantee it remains. But in dharma work there will not be this stress even though there may be other obstacles but obstacles that are not insurmountable.
Welcome, Wei Theng, to Kechara.
Rejoice & Congratulations to Wei Theng !Very great to hear that u are joining full time in Kechara family^_^ I wish you & your family much blessing from the Three Jewels,may you spread more Rinpoche dharma to benefit more peoples!
Dear Wei Theng,congratulation for making such a great a desision to join Kechara full time. You and Lew have set a good example to us and inspired us the meanigful of serve Dharma by beneficial others.
Did not get the chance to say this yet… but Heya Wei Theng… Congratulations in joining the addictive Kecharian family. After which you must be warn… you will not ever want to live without it 🙂 So welcome and we look forward to a spiritual journey together for there is no better purpose then what we do here.
You are so very fortunate that your karma has ripened to allow you this wisdom hence you are here with Rinpoche, with us. To the road less travelled, to the rebels who will make a change – Cheers x
A look at their happy faces in their family photograph shows a happy and closely-knitted family. All their faces are beaming with joy, happiness and satisfaction, due perhaps to their kind generous nature of their great desire to do dharma to benefit people. Both husband and wife are highly skilled and abundantly qualified, and will be good assets to KH. As in their own words, they have been thinking of doing dharma full-time many years ago to benefit people, and deeply desired to be a part of a legend with KH in this region, especially in contributing their valuable skills in helping to manifest KFR and KWPC! Congratualions, may both of you be able to attain tangible, lasting and geniune results utimately through to enlightenment!
A big warm hug! Welcome Wei Theng! You and Lew are an inspiring Dharma couple in this organization to others who wish to work Dharma full time. Your children are so lucky to have instilled dharma by the parents since very young, they will definitely also be an inspiration to their peers. Congratulations!
I rejoice for Wei Theng. Despite of her busy schedule, hers work and her family, she still help for whatever translation we pass to her and sometime she had to do it till midnight. i respect her very much.
Congrats Wei Theng on your joining full-time. A bit late but better than never. I had always admire how you have been able to manage your lovely daughters and still be able to commit so much for Kechara. Real dharmic family that practises what Rinpoches teaches. Really lovely and sincere. Your contribution is truly inspiring!
Congratulations to Wei Theng and LEW !!!
Hi Wei Theng CONGRATULATIONS! I!m so happy to see you and Lew are in the dharma and it makes one happy family. As Rinpoche said your children is surrounded with dharma and they will grow up responsible and moral citizens. Welcome to Kechara.
Congratulations Wei Theng and a big big WELCOME to the Kechara family. Congratulations to Lew and the children too!
Congratulations Wei Theng and welcome to the Kechara family! And also to Lew for setting a good example and inspired Wei Theng to be part of Kechara!
Dear Wei Theng,
I cannot express how happy I am that you have joined our Kechara family in pursuit of a vision larger than life… We have done so much together from Asiaworks, to SYN and now Kechara… WOW time does fly.
Believe me, in doing our dharma work and flourishing in a dharma career, one of the first sign of merits is in our children. You will start to notice that our children will have a calm which is from within. They will still be monsters because they are intelligent, but you will see a calmness when they face situations like sibling fight, about sharing and also how to engage with you.
I look forward to sharing the KFR legacy with you, Lew, the girls and Kechara! More importantly, let’s blast the world with Rinpoche’s teachings.
Congratulations and Welcome to the Kechara family, Wei Theng. Another husband and wife team joining dharma full time. Another beacon of light that benefits others. Rejoice! Rejoice! 🙂
Hey Wei Theng! Congratulations on joining full-time 🙂
You and Lew are inspirational parents, may you lead successful Dharmic lives. I have no doubt that your children will grow up being morally-sound citizens 🙂
You give society hope that not all kids will grow up spoilt and bratty! Their lives are already different from the both of you choosing a more beneficial way of living.
Not all parents can look to benefiting others while their kids are still young… so congratulations 🙂 xxx
Dear wei Theng,
I am very glad to know that you are full time in dharma work, congratulations ! wei Theng !
Congratulations Wei Theng. You and Lew are very good examples of people who are not samsaric and are on the path of selflessness. I understand you are training to be a Pastor. Hope you can be one soon.
Congratulations Wei Theng for making this decision to join Dharma full time. You have been an inspiration for the many many years I have known you, especially these couple of years, you have shone ever so brightly to make a difference in the life of others. You are the pillar in Lew’s life where he can rely on and with your strength, he propels forward full force to spread Dharma.
Congratulations again. You and your family are truly a Dharma family and an example to follow. 🙂
Rejoice and Congratulation Wei Theng..
Congratulation Wei Theng….
Dear Wei Theng, welcome to the Kechara family! Perhaps the next department can be Kechara Creche so that all your lovely kids can be near you when you are working so hard at eDiv?
I will not only congratulate Wei Theng but also her husband Lew. Lew must have inspired Wei Theng to give up her secular career for a dharma career by his own transformation. Hence, she followed his footsteps. So, congratulations Lew for doing such a good job yourself.
Congratulations to Wei Theng!
She shows us the pre-condition to do Dharma is not having big money and time only you put in effort. To have more and more talented people joined, we will be able to help Rinpoche to spread the Dharma of Je Tsongkhapa to ten directions and benefit more.
To have your family members to practice together with you is fortunate, to have them work towards the goal of benefiting others is even more fortunate and happy.
Wei Theng, welcome on broad, let’s have more crazy days and nights with weird Kecharians!
Welcome Wei Theng to our growing family !
It is a very enriching experience that both spouses learn, work and grow in a spiritual environment.
Understand you have some problem in getting a maid to look after the children. Don’t worry, send them over to KHKC we have many baby sitters there 🙂
欢迎 Wei Theng 加入克切拉大家庭！ Welcome on board!
你和Lew将会是佛法家庭的典范，恭喜！
祈愿我们可以一起携手创造克切拉禅修林及克切拉和平中心。加油！
Wei Thing, congratulations 🙂 I rejoice for you and your family. Your children are so lucky that both you and your husband doing Dharma works full time. How meritorious.
Dear Wei Theng,

恭喜你 WEI THENG, 真的很羡慕你们两夫妻都能从事全职在佛法事业上。以前，总是很羡慕那些可以全职来从事佛法的人，他们的福报是何等的大，能够不被世俗的问题牵绊，那是多么美好的一件事啊。但是现在，我相信只要现在开始努力，我希望在不久的将来，我也能够累计足够的资粮，希望有一天也能和你们一样，可以全职的来从事佛法事业，可以去帮助更多需要帮助的人。
