Gifts from Gustav
Dear friends,
There are many people who have connected with me through my blog, YouTube videos, Kechara website, Twitter, Facebook and other online platforms. I have never met many of my online friends before, and yet I receive letters saying that they themselves or their family/friends have benefited and learnt from my teachings posted online.
Many so kindly send me gifts or flowers always. Many order online through www.vajrasecrets.com and send me gifts/flowers. This is Kechara’s online shop that supports our staff and activities. People from all over the world send such kind words, gifts and flowers. So very touching. I thank everyone for all this.
A few days ago, I received a package from a fellow American blog reader, Gustav. In the package was a wide variety of very well-thought out gifts, and a letter. Gustav explained in the letter how he had been having encounters with spirits, and sought help via Kecharian, Wai Meng.
Beings from other realms of existence do exist. I have met many, many people who have the karma to be associated with spirits. Some beings (spirits, ghosts etc) are connected to us from our previous life, some from this life. Some spirits are harmful, some are harmless… just like human beings, some a harmful and some harmless.
My long time student Wai Meng advised for Gustav to have pujas done at our Puja House here in Malaysia, and after the pujas, Gustav said that his bad encounters stopped. Wai Meng is a very caring person.
Gustav, I am glad that you have a peace of mind – and used that experience to fuel your spiritual practice. Please do continue with your daily Guru Yoga and Setrap practice. As you have already experienced, these practices are very blessed and powerful… I have some video teachings on Guru Yoga (Tsongkhapa) and Setrap previously, please watch these videos and do it with the visualizations… it will be much more beneficial that way.
I am deeply humbled that you’ve received some benefits from me teaching the Dharma, it is my wish that people would benefit from the Dharma. Thank you for all the well thought out gifts, the best out of all the gifts you gave to me is your Dharma practice. I wish you great spiritual advancements.

Dear Rinpoche,
I want to thank you for all the help I have received from you and your teachings online. I had a big problem here with a ghost/spirit situation and I found you seemingly by accident online through your awesome Paranormal Zone stories. After speaking with Wai Meng via Vajra Secrets he advised me to have a puja performed. After it was done the problem disappeared instantly. The deper benefit however was finding you and listening to the Dharma. I now have committed to Lama Tsongkhapa and Setrap practices daily. The benefits are profound.
Many thanks also to Wai Meng. He was very patient with me in answering all my questions and giving advice.
I would very much like to come and visit KFR in the future but I also hope that you will come to the US someday also.
I have included some gifts for you. I hope they are beneficial and enjoyable. I have described the items below.
With gratitude,
Gustav
HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche statue – I wanted to give you something related to Dharma and looked for a while for something special. I read your blog post with his teachings and then found this statue by accident. I hope you like it.
Woodlock medicated oil – I read about your shoulder pains, etc. and this may help with that. I used to have lots of back pain from a car accident years ago. I went to a Chinese chiropractor/acupuncturist here and she would use this as part of the treatment. It increases blood flow to the muscles and is effective with massage therapy. Please do ask your doctor/therapist before using to make sure it is OK for you.
EL Topo/Holy Mountain DVDs – These are two films from the 70s from the great Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky. If you have not seen them you must see them. The themes are all about mysticism/symbolism/reality vs perception, etc. He also studied Zen and there are Buddhist themes as well. I know you like horror movies and thought they are not horror movies they are just as gruesome!
Twin Peaks DVDs – This is a great TV series from the late 80s/early 90s done by David Lynch. If you have not seen it before you should because you will definitely like it. It is about a murder mystery but it evolves into all kinds of mysterious and surreal themes which Lynch is famous for. This show was the inspiration for the X-Files series. Lynch now tours around the world teaching meditation to people as he is a longtime follower of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
The Secret Teachings of All Ages – This book by Manly P. Hall is the definitive encyclopedia on all things related to Ancient mysticism and symbolism. If you do not already have it you must have it in your library.
Modern Architecture books – I know you like modern styles.
Mother Teresa book – Collection of photography from her mission and their daily work around the world.
World Vegetarian Cookbook – This is my favourite cookbook for many years. It has the best recipes from all over and they are all very good and healthy.
Binoculars – For your jungle life! This model can be used while wearing glasses.
Madonna Hat – For your head!
Tea – I have included several different kinds of organic tea and an instant read thermometer. This company is the first one to create Fair Trade farms in Asia and also to sell organic teas. They are a responsible company and do help the farmers. Please use the thermometer to check the water temperatures when making the green teas especially because the surest way to have it come out bitter tasting is for the water to be too hot.
Please support us so that we can continue to bring you more Dharma:

I’m glad that Gustav had his problem cleared and it is rejoicing to know that he has committed into Lama Tsongkhapa and Setrap daily practices. His sincerity of gratitude is obviously shown in the way he prepared. So much of thoughts has been put into. This reminds me of one of the post about showing gratitude, https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/gratitude-makes-us-happier.html.
WOW… How thoughtful. It is very obvious he has been following Rinpoche’s blog closely as he knows what Rinpoche likes and is rather current.
It is wonderful to see such gratitude and when one offers something from the heart and take the time to research and find items that one knows the person appreciates. Such a beautiful offering!
Very thoughtful gifts from Gustav, great to know that Gustav spiritual problems being solved. Glad that Rinpoche online teaching has benefit many and may Gustav continue with Guru Yoga and Setrap practice.
I rejoice that Gustav’s problem has been solved. It goes to show that puja and prayer works! He is a man who shows his gratitude. Not many people show gratitude when their problems are solved. Gratitude is a virtue as it shows that you care.
Gustav is definitely a very caring person as he cared enough to find out more about Rinpoche’s interests and send gifts to Rinpoche. Through his action, we know that the pujas done in Puja House must have helped him a lot, and he is grateful. Great to know that people from other countries were benefited from Rinpoche’s blog, videos, tweets etc.
I am truly astounded by the array of carefully picked wonderful gifts for Rinpoche from Gustav. Gustav choice of gifts were carefully selected for Rinpoche after reading what Rinpoche likes and preferences online via this blog, Facebook, Twitter etc.
Wow! This has certainly impressed me that Gustav took a long time to source for all the items with much care on what Rinpoche would love.
Thank you Gustav for showing us your gratefulness to Rinpoche and making Rinpoche happy. This is a lesson to learn from, for me too.
Gustav is very lucky to have met Rinpoche by accident online through Paranormal Zone stories, he has all his problems solved with the help from Rinpoche and Wai Meng. To show his gratitude Gustav has sent all the well thought out gifts to Rinpoche, hope he will come and visit KFR one day.
I would like concur on the Gustav’s statement on Rinpoche Blog as well as Lord Setrap and Guru Yoga practice.
Rinpoche Blog has helped a lot of people from a distance, it is so powerful. In fact, we have a few visitors to Penang Setrap Chapel through Rinpoche Blog. These people are very hungry for Dharma knowledge and teaching.
Lord Setrap are very powerful protector. A lot of our Penang Puja members have experienced the blessing from Lord Setrap in one way or another.
Thank You Rinpoche.
Gustav is one of the many people all over the world who has benefited from Rinpoche’s blog. With gratitude, he offered such well thought gifts for Rinpoche. I am glad that his problems with the spirits are cleared and may he be on the path towards spiritual development.
Gustav’s way of showing gratitude to Rinpoche is absolutely beautiful. He painstakingly selects the items, one by one,with much care and thought. They are truly gifts from the heart.
I like how he made an offering of a thermometer to accompany his organic tea offering. This is to ensure that the tea was made at the right temperature to get the best out of it; not too hot as it would become too bitter.
‘The World Vegetarian Cookbook ‘is another gift from the heart – it had been Gustav’s favourite cookbook for many years.
Dear Rinpoche thank you for sharing this news. I am happy for Gustav another lucky person that benefited from dharma. I hope through social media there will be a lot more people to benefit from Rinpoche teaching.
This is very nice, so many thoughtful gifts, even Twin Peaks : )
Gustav is one of the many people all over the world who has greatly benefited from Tsem Rinpoche’s online dharma teaching and many more will also benefit when Kechara Forest Retreat is ready.
Gustav really show his sincerity and gratitude towards Rinpoche by detail down the gifts and the purpose of sending them.i m happy that Gustav ‘ s problem have been solve and he still continue the practice. May Rinpoche teaching and Dharma spread to all ten direction , let more and more people who in difficulties can meet Rinpoche and solve their issue like Gustav.
I’m glad Gustav has his problem solved. Kechara’s Puja House has helped a lot of people. He has sent all these gifts to show his gratitude. I hope he will visit Kechara Forest Retreat one day.
