Melaka Study Group first Chinese Setrap Puja
(By Tsem Rinpoche)
In Melaka, Kechara has a study group. They get together to discuss dharma and facilitators from KL will go to Melaka to conduct classes. There would be many people in Melaka interested in Dharma. This would be a good place to join up and study.
Now they are starting pujas on Setrap to remove obstacles, bless people and protect people. In our Kechara KL branch, Setrap has shown many miracles and assistance to people. When people devote themselves to Setrap anywhere, he will assist I am sure.
I am very happy to see our Melaka group starting to grow. May they be blessed.

The term “Golden Age of Porn”, or “porno chic”, refers to a 15-12
months interval (1969-1984) in commercial American pornography, in which sexually specific films skilled positive attention from
mainstream cinemas, film critics, and most people.[1][2] This American period, which had subsequently spread internationally,[3] and that
started earlier than the legalization of pornography in Denmark on July 1, 1969,[4] started on June 12, 1969,[5]
with the theatrical release of the movie Blue Movie directed by Andy Warhol,[6][7][8] and,
somewhat later, with the release of the 1970 movie
Mona produced by Bill Osco.[9][10] These films have been the first
adult erotic films depicting explicit intercourse to receive extensive
theatrical launch in the United States.[6][7][8][9] Both influenced the making of films such as 1972’s Deep Throat starring Linda Lovelace and
directed by Gerard Damiano,[11] Behind the
Green Door starring Marilyn Chambers and directed by the Mitchell brothers,[12] 1973’s The Devil in Miss Jones additionally by Damiano, and 1976’s The Opening of Misty Beethoven by Radley Metzger, the “crown jewel” of
the Golden Age, based on award-winning writer Toni Bentley.[13][14].
In response to Andy Warhol, his Blue Movie film was a serious influence within the
making of Last Tango in Paris, an internationally controversial erotic drama movie,
starring Marlon Brando, and released a few years after Blue Movie was proven in theaters.[8]

This will be my 2nd comment on this blog. As most people in Melaka are Chinese speaking and Chinese educated and even those who are Engish educated are very well versed with Mandarin, there will not be a problem for the Chinese Setrap Puja to start in Melaka. Melaka can also be considered a town of religious activities as there are a lot of temples whether they are Taoist, Buddhist or Tibetan. It will be easier for people to learn about Setrap through correct explanation that Setrap is the wrathful emanation of Amithaba. With members from Kuala Lumpur to go down and conduct classes and give talks to support Dr Lim. Malacca study group will not have a problem in expanding.
When Rinpoche came to Malaysia in 1992. The first Dharma centre he went to was in Melaka. This is the 1st centre Rinpoche visited outside Kuala Lumpur. It is called BRAINS TRUST and is managed by Jezzamine Lai who was very helpful. Whenever Rinpoche goes to Melaka Jezzamine will welcome him to stay in her house and also serve Rinpoche. She is also very kind to allow me to stay in her house when I was assistant to Rinpoche. Now through the kindness of Jezzamine Lai as a stepping stone for Rinpoche Kechara has its own study group led by Adeline Tan. Can you imagine in less then 20 years Rinpoche has built 13 departments in Kechara.
This is some great news that should make every practitioner to rejoice!
Dharma in Kechara House is now spreading outside its physical boundary to benefit others through the setting up of Melaka study group which is now beginning to perform Lord Setrap Pujas to bless and protect people, as well as removing obstacles.
At Kuala Lumpur Kechara many of such Pujas done have shown good results whereby many “miracles” have been seen to assist people through realizations. Of course bottom line is the practitioners themselves should show their faith and devotion towards Dharma Protector – Lord Setrap. In order to invoke his quick and steadfast assistance! Devoting to Lord Setrap certainly will have immeasurable benefits.

I am truly grateful that Kechara House has established a study group in Melaka. It is as if like a dream come true to me.
May H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche has long life, no obstacles to his dharma works, and be surrounded by sound and enthusiastic students. May I never be parted from perfect teachers like H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche in all my rebirths.
May the dharma brothers and sisters in Kechara House be successful in doing whatever dharma works out of selfless and compassionate motivation. Without you guys, layman like me would never have the chance to get in touch with H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche’s dharma teachings or words of wisdom again. Thank you all so much!!
May the study group continues to grow and expand to benefit all beings in Melaka.
This is wonderful news indeed. Especially as Beng Kooi rightly said that Melaka was one of the places Rinpoche first visited in 1992. We can never tell when the seeds of Dharma that were planted before will sprout. After all, none of us here can be so passionate about Rinpoche and Dharma if someone had not planted those seeds in us many years ago, or even lifetimes ago.
Hence, a mixture of karma, merits and seeds that were planted from long before are now blossoming within us and we are able to establish a real connection with Dharma.
We are truly fortunate to have such amazingly dedicated Dharma brothers and sisters who would travel far and take it upon themselves to spread the Dharma to others.
Once we have received real benefits from something of value, we truly wish to share it with more and more people in hope that they will also enjoy such benefits.
Where there is no Dharma, let there be Dharma.
Where there is Dharma, may it grow stronger and firm.
Where there is a misunderstanding of Dharma, may we take it as our responsibility to correct it.
Its nice to see things come full circle at last. Melaka or Malacca was one of the places that Rinpoche visited when he came to Malaysia for the first time in 1992. During that time, Rinpoche was raising funds for the monastery and he traveled around Malaysia, teaching, meeting people, giving divinations, blessings and advice. Although young, Rinpoche’s grasp of the Dharma was so extensive that many people came to have audience with him, and even gave him a standing ovation after his teachings!
So the Melaka study group growing is due to the seeds planted during Rinpoche’s early days in Malaysia – he certainly stuck in the minds of the people who had the merits to meet him then. This letter from Hee Peng is a great example:

Starting small is not a problem;i wish Melaka Dharma brothers and sisters success in all their activities!
Dr Lim, I am very happy you have been following the blog all this while, it has a wealth of dharma material in it. It is a manifestation of Rinpoche’s teaching of the Lam Rim.
I am also working to establish a Setrap Puja in Ipoh, hope we can get it up real fast! The fact that there is Setrap Box set standardizes many things and it is easy for any group to start practicing it. Dharmapala Setrap’s main role it to remove obstacles to dharma practice and for people to do the dharma happy to see the group has grown so much 🙂 .
Dear Rinpoche, thank you for giving bleesing to our Melaka Study group. We are also very grateful to the facilitators to teach and share in Melaka especially Mr Ngeow, Thierry and Jamie. We also look forward to have more dharma teachers to come and teach us. The number of attendees has certainly increase after the puja. Some even invite Setrap box to learn and recite themselves at home and they are all first timers. By starting the Setrap puja we understand the importance and significance of dharmapala practice. Rinpoche’s teaching regarding puja is the catalyst for us to start this puja. In His teaching, rinpoche mentioned that puja is a way to express compassion to all sentient beings.We continue to pray that all obstacles to be pacified and conducive conditions arise for all of us to practise dharma until enlightenment
It is so wonderful to know that Dharmapala Lord Setrap’s practice is available to the people in Melaka through our Melaka Study Group. Lord Setrap is extremely swift in removing worldly obstacles for us lay people especially the ones who wish to learn and practice Dharma. My wife and I have benefited from His help.
May Dharmapala Setrap remove all obstacles of the pioneer members of the Melaka Study Group and provide conducive conditions to attract more people to come and learn the Holy Dharma there.
The Malacca group may be small but the folks there are very sincere and wish to practice Lama Tsongkapa’s wonderful tradition and teachings.Dr Lim and his wife Dr Lim Huay Ling , together with Adeline had put in a lot of efforts to nurture and get the group going . thanks to their dedication and devotion to support the vision and mission of our Lama.
Through support and efforts of Liaison David and facilitator Thierry, and other KH members, it is really good to see Setrap puja being conducted there now to bring many benefits to the group and people in Malacca.
Glad to hear that , recently Ipoh group started their first setrap puja, followed by Melaka group.Throughout Malaysia few states , there are setrap puja organise by Kecharians….
Lord Setrap is amazing, helps to clear our outer obstacles and always proven to be beneficial if your motivation is right and pure throughout the practice.Sometime just need to be patient, LORD SETRAP even more beneficial if you pratice and do Dharma at the same time.
Setrap is of immeasurable benefit!
I have witnessed it first hand, he has benefitted me and those around me in this sense: by providing condusive conditions for me and my loved ones to understand and practice Dharma.
Sometimes, the help came in un-expected ways, but it has ALWAYS proven to be beneficial eventually.
My faith has then strengthened through direct experience and as a result I am now more accepting when difficulties come about, as I know, for sure, they are to benefit from eventually.
After all, the white lotus blossoms with its root in the mud.
When we practice dharma and and we knew how dharma can benefit our loved ones and friends,we wanted to share it with people around us,
especially if we stay far from our centre,we have to put more effort into our spiritual practice.
By doing puja together and join the study group,we can know each other well and support each other.We are not alone even we are far from our centre,group discussing is a good way to improve our dharma knowledge,just like when you are driving,it will be easier for the driver to remember the route to the destination but not the passenger.
Hence, participate in Setrap puja and study group will benefit us and others directly and indirectly.
May Melaka study group and other groups that stay far away from our centre grow and bring setrap practice to benefit more people.
Congratulations to Melaka Study Group!!! Its wonderful news that you all are starting the Setrap Puja and bringing Setrap blessings to benefit the people there.
May Setrap clear away the obstacles for your group to grow and for Kechara World Peace Center to manifest and flourish.
This is fantastic news. May our protector show the same miracles and assistance to the Malacca study group as he has here in Kechara KL Branch.
Always great to know that Dharma is spreading farther outwards from the core and not restricted to physical boundaries! This is all possible from Rinpoche’s continual support and guidance and the genuine interest of all Kecharians and friends.
Both Thierry and I are proud to belong to this family that is expanding quite rapidly! We will continue to support in any way we can and will continue to transform ourselves in order to create the merits for even better things to come!
We are so excited about KWPC and want it to manifest swiftly and be a tremendous benefit to Malaysia, the Region, the World, our Galaxy and the Universe! We want to wake up to the sound of birds chirping, the touch of the cool mist wafting through the windows of our little hut in KWPC and the soothing sound pre dawn chanting of mantras echoing through the valley!!!! SIGH!
