People are always fascinated with ghosts and love listening to ghost stories. Often times the stories just serve to have the thrill of a scare for the moment and soon forgotten. However, ghosts are very real and they do exist, just as more and more testimonials of the encounter with ghosts are surfacing, no one is exempted if they have the karma to meet with one. Some ghosts even attach themselves to the person they meet and disturb them up to potential fatality. So it is important to know how to protect oneself from the danger. Luckily, there is always a remedy as well. The powerful Dorje Shugden is ever ready to help us, not only in protection but also in creating the conducive environment for us to practice our spirituality until enlightenment. Thank you for this interesting article with the videos to watch.
I use to think that the ghost that stay in the house or premises because he or she like the house so much. But, in these videos, it could be the last tragic that the ghost have. Also from these videos I have learned that ghost have many character. Some can still be fun as when he or she was alive. Nevertheless, whether the ghost is cheerful or in miserable stage, they are rebirth as ghost which is not in a good stage. I hope, they can hear dharma and learn dharma and leave the stage of ghost
Dear Rinpoche, tthe last story is the scariest of the whole post. I think James have a very huge connection with the samurai, maybe he killed the samurai a few centuries ago. There is one story which actually make me feel not afraid throughout the whole story until this samurai thingy. Just a few minutes ago, I have goose bump all over my body and a cold chill down my spine. Of course it is my imagination but that is what I would feel when I’m terrified of the story. But it’s interesting! Hehe
Dear Rinpoche, James Kyson Lee’s paranormal story is the one that scares me the most. I think the samurai that appeared in James dream, died on the spot where he slept on or maybe the samurai has been searching for him long time and finally found him and try to take revenge or maybe the samurai is just haunting the place.
Compassion is the key to everything. Seeing that different beings do exist in different realms proves that Buddha was right all along. Hence we need to cultivate more loving kindness.
As David wrote, these spirits are suffering more than we, the humans. So, we can and should dispense more compassion towards them. They are the less fortunate ones as they are stuck here, drifting aimlessly until their karma of this state runs out or gets purified. But who will purify their karma for them and how?
Most of us would most likely to running the other way because we are all too scared as it is. So, you might say it is much easier said than done. I used to think that way too. I’d probably be screaming and running far far away if I ever see one. Or I’ll probably be closing my eyes and say, can you please not appear so scary?
Fear is rather crippling in this sense, it stops us from doing the right thing, or the decent thing – to help or just say a prayer. After listening to Rinpoche’s talks on this subject a few times, I have become slightly more courageous. I will think less of my own fear and more of their suffering because it is definitely more painful for them to bear. My fear will subside after a while, but their agonising state remains.
Terima Kasih Rinpoche!
There used to be an old adage:
“When one has faith, no explaination is necessary
When one has no faith, no explaination is possible”
I am also giving the benefit of the doubt that counterfeits are sitting side by side with the real stuff so it may be of some use to exercise caution, even when ‘evidence’ appears on modern technology.
But perhaps, as a Buddhist, it is my understanding that all in samsara are in a vicious cycle hence we have the liberating Dharma to end that cycle and that mere intellectualism, denial and ‘ignorant’ practices born from fear and superstition won’t be of much use in that process of suffering and its cessation.
Ghosts are often so scary because we fear them probably because we fear the unknown. Over in the west, they would call psychics and mediums to drive them away and in the east, we would hire shamans or request monks and priests to do rituals to drive them away.
Although spirits have personality like people but they suffer much more from severe attachment and loneliness so we shouldn’t fear them so much and immediately want to hurt them or chase them away. We develop compassion for them and try peaceful rituals unless it was a malevolent spirit.
Also instead of having compassion for their sufferings right now but we should have compassion for the the actual cause of their state of being – miserliness and attachment. Hence, we should have compassion for those who have these delusions especially in ourselves.
Dear Venerable Rinpoche ,
Wishing you a good day. An interesting story on The Star today. For your reading.

Close encounter with spirits and a headless woman
THE older the structure, the more likely it is to be haunted. Given the chequered history of Pudu Prison – which dates back to 1895 – you can be sure it has more than its fair share of ghostly tales.
Abu Bakar Juah says it was common to hear things at night – footsteps where no one was supposed to be, chains rattling, and even hearing someone or something taking a bath when everyone is locked in.
“We normally shout out loud that we are merely trying to make a living and tell whatever that’s out there to leave us alone,” he says.
Haji Aziz Haji Idris tells of an encounter while on duty at one of the guard towers when he was still a young officer.
“It was shortly after midnight and I was on night duty with another person when I saw an officer approaching. As we had been trained, I banged my rifle on the floor and shouted out ‘Everything all right, sir!”
Aziz says the figure said nothing but raised his hand, and then suddenly disappeared.
He also remembers one particular bunk in the warder’s dormitory which everyone tried to avoid.
“Anyone who slept there would be sure to feel an unseen force pressing down on his chest. They may try to shout or move but will be helpless to do anything,” he says, adding that some would rather sleep on the floor than use the bunk.
Abu Bakar also recalls a weird phenomenon – a ball of fire the size of a football that suddenly appeared and rolled out of sight.
“It happened every once in a while, and in cycles. Everyone would be talking about it for a while,” he says.
But the scariest tale is that of a recurring apparition of a woman. Aziz believes it was the ghost of a woman who was hanged there.
“She had tried to kill herself previously by slitting her throat. She survived but before she was fully recovered, the execution order came,” he says.
“She was brought to the execution chamber and hanged – but because of the injury, her head was literally torn off. It was a gruesome death and that is the ghost that many people have seen.”
He recalls an encounter with this apparition.
“I was on duty at Block D, where death row is located, and directly above the execution chamber is a huge anchor stone.
“Out of the corner of my eye I saw a figure sitting on this stone. Malays believe ghosts’ feet do not touch the ground, and when I bent over to look, the figure disappeared,” he says.
But a fellow officer’s encounter was even more shocking.
“Once, a police officer was interviewing prisoners and it was getting late. However, he said that he could interview one more, and I went down to bring another one.
“As he was filling in some forms he saw a figure sitting down. Thinking it was another prisoner he looked up, only to see a headless woman with blood flowing down her chest. The officer ran down the stairs as fast as he could,” he says.
Aziz believes Pudu Prison is a very “dirty” place and in some places is a giant graveyard.
“During World War II, the British buried Japanese soldiers there, and when the Japanese took over, they buried the British there.
“The ghosts here are real,” says Aziz.
Yours Sincerely ,
