Kechara Charity Dinner & Auction!

Jul 20, 2010 | Views: 2,149

Last night July 18, 2010 was a night to remember as Kechara hosted a charity dinner and auction in aid of Kechara House and Kechara Soup Kitchen. Held at the Sunway Lagoon Hotel, the event featured a variety of performances throughout the evening, as well as the silent and open auctions to raise funds for our new gompa and the Kechara Soup Kitchen building.

It was a night of fun for everyone, thanks to all the members and friends who worked very hard to make the event a huge success. Many of my students have been working round the clock for days to prepare for last night, and I thank them for their hard work, effort and dedication.

Please see the photo-story below, giving you blow-by-blow account of the evening’s events or watch the video of the spectacular night below!

C3It was a night to remember for everyone involved

 

Kechara House members come from all walks of life. My students and friends are very hardworking, dedicated and also spiritual. But being spiritual DOES NOT MEAN WE CANNOT HAVE FUN. Kechara Members or Kecharians are spiritual but they can still be who they are. In my centre I make sure we practice dharma, work hard and have a great time doing it all.

This wonderful dinner was planned months ahead. And all 13 depts were involved in the success of this dinner one way or another. The Departmental liaisons/staff/student/volunteers and friends made it into such a successful evening.

The shows put on by our people made people really laugh until their mascaras were smeared. Great!

I congratulate everyone in KECHARA who worked for months to make this happen. I did not attend on purpose, because I want to show Kecharians that they can do it on their own. And they did. I humbly fold my hands to everyone for making such wonderful event come true. I am so proud of everyone and we are getting great self training to make KWPC happen.

My love, prayers, gratitude and deep appreciation to all Kecharians and our special guests that made this dinner event so spectacular!!

  2. judy on Jul 24, 2010 at 2:40 am

    Dear Tat Ming: You have my outmost respect for such honest sharing of your experience in the swan dance. You were not only amazing in your steps, you showed such commitment and joy that I truly believed you when you said you trusted your Guru and did it for Dharma. Many a times, when we cast aside our fears and stepped out of our comfort zone, we will find our strength we never knew existed. We knew the hard work you and the rest of team put in to make the night a success. Kudos Tat Ming (and of course, the rest of the shinning stars of the night!)

  3. Margaretlee on Jul 22, 2010 at 11:23 pm

    This is the 6th Kechara fund raising dinner I have attended and participated. First one being a small steam boat dinner auction party near Sunwaymas Commercial Center, then the “Glitter of Stars” at the Shangrila,3rd was a buffet dinner auction party in a restaurant near TTDI, 4th was the Chinese New Year dinner auction party at Dragon Boat restaurant in Jalan Imbi, 5th was last year Chinese New Year’s dinner auction party at our own Kechara Oasis restaurant at Jaya One, and then finally this year at Sunway Resort Hotel.
    I must say, whether the event is small or big, We Kecharians all did it with total commitment and dedication, what’s more is that these events are always infused with so much fun and laughter, a signature of all Kechara events.
    As Rinpoche’s students, we are all ready to make that leap to let our hair or ego down, anytime for Dharma with a good motivation and for a good cause. We are a very unique Dharma center in the sense that we are all spiritual, fun, passionate,unconventional and yet truly sincere.
    And this year, besides the auction of all the beautiful holy items, the fantastic exhibition of all the 13 departments of Kechara, the highlight of the event is of course the “Wannabe Girls” and the “Swan legs”. Everyone is talking about them. Their performance left a lot of guests in amazement, wondering what an interesting group of Dharma practitioners we are.
    Yes, we are who we are, as Rinpoche always says, what is most important in our Dharma practice is our inner transformation. The Wannabe Girls and Swan Legs sure have set an excellent example of both inner and outer transformation 🙂

    Congratulations to the organisers for putting together such a fantastic show. A big thank you to the “stars” of the show, the volunteers and friends for making the event a great success. It is so wonderful to see our dharma friends putting in so much effort, shedding all inhibitions and performing so marvellously for our enjoyment. The friends that I have invited thoroughly enjoyed themselves and commented that they were very impressed with the exponential growth of Kechara over a short period of time. In their mind this good result could be due to the fact that people in Kechara work hard and play hard too.What a great way to introduce Kechara to them!
    Thank you Rinpoche for your precious teachings and guidance.

    Congratulations to the Wanna Be Girls and the black and white swans. It was the most entertaining performances and a night to remember, filled with laughter and fun and all for a good cause. Those braved heroes who successfully overcome their fears, received the most applause from the floor. Our fundraising events are getting bigger and better. Most attending the event were surprised that the event was so well organized. Many newbies were introduced to our various departments and some even commented that they have not come across any dharma centers that have so much fun.
    A big “thank you” to all those who were involved in this event.!!!

  6. weeliang on Jul 21, 2010 at 6:51 pm

    The dinner was a bash. Everyone had so much fun. It really showed me that when we get together, great things can happen. It was loud and vibrant. It may not be a conventionally over civilized buddhist dinner, but i think the essence is in that. It is not the transformation on the outside that is most important but more of the transformation of the mind.
    Its very sad when people tell me they are not ready to do dharma because it may take the fun out of life. I look at them and think to myself, “this dude thinks that its only fun when you hurt people and cause disharmony.” Its really simple to me, the dharma only means for us to do good things, be compassionate and benefit others. If you think that takes the fun out of life, you derive fun from hurting people.
    I hope that the dinner showed everyone the possibility of having fun in dharma. It was a night of fun, laughter, good food and most importantly…. generosity.
    Still rejoicing,
    Wee Liang

  7. Lim Han Nee on Jul 21, 2010 at 3:22 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,
    Thanks to the great work of the organizing committee, the ‘swanky legs’ dancers and their choreographer,and the many volunteers, the Kecharian Charity dinner was a great success, full of fun and entertainment and it was also a grand occasion for Kecharians and their friends to come together like a family.
    Reflecting on that night, it was all so dharmic. Many best dressed contestants came in clothes which defied the conventional norm for such a competition and the best dressed lady and gentlemen capped it all.It was a night when we learnt and realized dharma from having our minds opened up and freed from the fetters of conventional, conceptual reality and thinking. When we saw the dancers in their tutus, showing off their swanky legs, our minds were being freed from the fetters of conventional thought such as men having to appear and behave like hunks , all brawny. ‘Beautiful’ and ‘handsome’, ‘pretty’ and ‘ugly’ seem so stiflingly narrow in meaning and import because we have locked our minds into boxes by these conventional concepts.
    To be free from the fetters of ordinary conventional concepts is what Vajrayogini’s coral-coloured body free from the encumbrances of clothing (dictated by a conceptual mind steeped in ordinary, conventional reality)symbolises.
    Thank you Rinpoche, for the lovely gift of the coral-coloured handbag, which you said I was to bring to the dinner, as it would bring out the “wildness” in me.I think I now understand your teaching through the gift and in those words. I shall work on freeing and opening up my mind.

  8. Hee Peng on Jul 21, 2010 at 10:48 am

    I truly admire all of you who wear those tight outfits and perform in front of the public. It takes a lot of courage and wisdom to do what you guys did for a good cause – to spread dharma to every corner of the world. The act of bringing happiness to other beings with selfless motivation really moves me a lot. Kechara House is really a heaven occupied by Bodhisattvas and Taras working relentlessly to benefit many sentient beings. How lucky am I to have the opportunity to be connected to such a wonderful organisation.

  9. Li Kheng on Jul 20, 2010 at 10:50 pm

    Hi Tat Ming, I am very moved by your sharing. Very powerful, honest and vulnerable.
    You are right about the fear of “how others view me”. It is the chronic pain that stops people from being who we are and eventually eats us up.
    Here in China, I received updates about the evening with photos of the “girls”. My friends are awed and inspired by the way Kecharians represent Dharma. I just want all of you to know that your participation in this one little dance has contributed to the cause that benefit the spread of Dharma understanding and practice.
    Thank you so very much!

  10. Paris on Jul 20, 2010 at 8:59 pm

    Mr Ngeow, you were a beautiful swan!!! More than anything, you showed us – all your lamrim “ducklings” what it means to put the Lamrim into practice: a lessening of ego and a willingness to go all the way for the sake of Dharma. This definitely goes down in the annals of history as being the world’s most unique Dharma teaching. I bet no other centre in the world can boast of a Dharma teacher (and education committee chairperson) wearing a tutu, feathers for eyebrows and way, wayyy too much lipstick!
    Lots of love x

  11. Paris on Jul 20, 2010 at 8:56 pm

    And wasn’t that the best part? The “after-party” was when the real fun began: The dismantling of the kiosks, running around barefeet, little Cynthia and Beng Kooi standing acrobatically on Justin’s shoulders to undo a giant poster, dodging flying bolts and screws…
    In Kechara, the event isn’t just the event – as Martin has said, it is all the weeks of love, hard work, meetings and big hearts that the committee put into the planning; then the actual day when people woke up at 9am on a Sunday to set everything up; then the event; and finally, the tearing down of everything. Seems to be much like the traditional Tibetan practices of making a giant sand mandala, and then sweeping all the sand away – a quick lesson in impermanence and dedicating your wholehearted effort and love without any expectation of return.
    A massive thank you to the amazing committee, Margaret the choreographer, the beautiful “girls”, the volunteers who didn’t sleep for days as they sweated to get things together… it was by all your incredible effort that so many of us could simply turn up on the night in our beautiful gowns, eat a delicious meal, laugh til we cried and be a part of such a momentous, historical moment in Kechara’s history.

  12. Paris on Jul 20, 2010 at 8:49 pm

    Ethan, I love what you have said – you totally summed up Kechara’s energy which is that on the outside, you can still do everything fun, glamourous, beautiful and crazy but there is such a deep and meaningful message behind it all.
    I love how some kid said, “wah buddhists can have tattoos meh?” When I started in Dharma, people would ask me, “Oh… are YOU Buddhist too?” hahaha This is exactly the spirit of Kechara – that you can be anyone, anywhere, doing anything and still be deeply spiritual.
    Just a few days ago, I went to a party – one of those ordinary ones where everyone dressed up, ate good food, drank wine, air kissed, frou-frou-la-la’d and talked animatedly for a few hours… and then, after all the fan fare, went home. Nothing achieved, and 6 hours wasted that I’ll never get back. Then, I came to this event – so beautifully done with so many amazing, fun people who have put their entire heart into making this a successful event. I would trade every other party out there for this, over and over again, simply because there is meaning, benefit, care and so, so much kindness in every aspect of THIS party. And that is something truly worth celebrating.

  13. Maggie Chang on Jul 20, 2010 at 6:55 pm

    It’s very toughing family members show up to support the dancers. They are very brave to dance for charity.

  14. Dr Lim ( Melaka ) on Jul 20, 2010 at 2:06 pm

    Our heartiest congratulations to all the SWANS and Wonder Girls. The Melaka Study Group is very PROUD to have Mr Ngeow, Thierry and Wan Meng to be our Lamrim teachers. You have shown us personal example of putting dharma into practice. I really “koutou” to Mr Ngeow. He is a successful structural engineer, a grandfather , a father and a husband who can let go of his pride and ego to entertain all of us. You have put dharma into real practice. We dont think we can be like you. You are really an excellent dharma teacher.
    ” TO TATHAGATHA GREAT VICTOR IN BATTLE I PROSTRATE ”

  15. May Ong on Jul 20, 2010 at 2:01 pm

    Dear Tat Ming
    You have been extremely brave to conquer your “fear” and take up the role in the performance. You were great and so were the whole dance “Swank” team.
    Congratulations are in order and you were really very good. Don’t worry about how others would think of us. It is how you portrayed to others to make them feel comfortable. You deserved all the applause from the happy crowd that evening. Kudos!

  16. Janice on Jul 20, 2010 at 12:26 pm

    The love, sincerity and commitment shown by the Girls (hahaha, the name is going to be stuck for a while), the White and Black swans can only touch everyone’s heart. Who else would risk this when you are not a professional cross dresser entertainer? On top of it, its posted on You Tube and Rinpoche’s blog – to be viewed by many times, many more for those who didn’t attend the dinner. I also want to mention Jutika who disrupted his dinner, mobile game to help when the auction started. Never once did he complain.
    Also to CJ, Siong Woan eldest boy who helped to spot and get the attention of Margaret and Dino on stage. Thank you Jutika and CJ, you guys are great.

  17. Joey on Jul 20, 2010 at 12:24 pm

    I really admire you guys (especially the straight ones!) for being able to discard the ego of not wanting to dress up as the opposite sex and on top of that, performing in front of so many others! It’s certainly not easy go drag (except for some people).
    This is really a celebration of the defeat of the ego!!

  18. Voon Chin on Jul 20, 2010 at 11:47 am

    I think whatever event that we organise, if there is collective effort and harmony , that is what counts.That is what makes it a true winner. I remember there is this saying, ‘Its not the triumph but the effort.’
    I am so happy that Tat Meng shared with us his honest ‘ confession’ here about his fear and successful struggle to overcome it, thanks to Rinpoche’s encouragement and his trust in Rinpoche.
    I confess I don’t share the same fear but have some concern I may be a stiff swan and not able to fly convincingly. My main concern was YF may think I had not been practicing hard enough !
    The laughter and applause from the floor was all I needed to be uplifted.
    There is a long queue to audition for next year’s swan act, so you guys know what to do if you want to learn how to fly…

  19. Tat Ming on Jul 20, 2010 at 4:32 am

    The hardest and most difficult part to overcome for me was not the performance. It was overcoming the fear of how people I know will perceive me performing in that costume!
    It was very difficult initially for me to accept the role when Rinpoche asked me to perform the Black Swan. However on hindsight, I am glad I had accepted the role. What can be more meaningful than doing it for Dharma?
    Yes, I enjoyed every moment of it from the rehearsals till the final performance on stage. I was constantly worried that I couldn’t conquer this fear. But the end result had proven that there is nothing impossible to accomplish if we set our mind to it. It is doing the hardest and the things that we hate the most that really cut our egos as in this case.
    Given the choice, I won’t do it. But we must TRUST our guru who has the wisdom to know what is best for our spiritual development at a particular point in time.
    If we really think about it, all of us had been playing different roles at different lives since beginningless time! Even in this present life we are changing roles all the time. One moment we are the parents. The next moment we are the employees. The next moment we become dancers and so on. WHO are we? What can performing a Black Swan do to me? 🙂
    Thank You Rinpoche. Thank You to all who had contributed to the success of this event. And finally thank you all who had supported us. Hope you had enjoyed our performance.

  20. martin on Jul 20, 2010 at 2:59 am

    I continue to be amazed by Kecharians. Last night i witnessed Kechara in its full splendour and glory…all divisions coming together to produce one of the most fun events i have ever been to…and for a good cause too. The books, the beautiful jewellery, the statues and figurines, the videos, the very funny live performances are all success stories on their own, and combined it is concrete evidence of how much Rinpoche’s teachings have infiltrated so many lives and changed so many people. Last night was real proof the ‘Kechara Way” works.
    What most people did not see was the months of preparations that went into it, right up to the last few minutes. What most people didn’t see was how the Kecharians changed out of their glorious gowns and attire into T-shirts and shorts and went about dismantling the displays and loading up the trucks.
    There are so many untold stories in Kechara, so many spitirual journeys taken and so many lives changed. So many silent heroes. So much committment. All for the the love of a Guru Rinpoche and trust in His guidance.
    After witnessing Kechara spreading its magnificent wings and fly so high last night, i have no doubts KWPC will happen very soon and i for one, can’t wait for it to manifest.
    Rinpoche wasn’t there at the dinner but His presence was no doubt felt by all.
    I am indeed fortunate and privilege to be able to go along this great journey.

  21. Andrew James Boon on Jul 20, 2010 at 2:22 am

    Ethan: Very well put. Loved your comment! It is true, why must we constrain and restrain ourselves to a certain mindset. We Kecharians are truly proof (especially after this incredible entertaining night) that with pure motivation, the means could be diverse and just as exciting!
    I was especially surprised when you whispered to me towards the end of the night as well saying: “Guess what, there is not many of us left, I think it’s you and me next on the stage!!!”. I must admit alarm bells rang in my head. Deafening too if i may add! Hhmmmm. It was at that moment that I truly had an ephiphany… it truly is NOT easy to act out of our comfort zone and with that came a more profound an intense respect for my Dharma “sisters” who went on stage guns ablaze (wanna be girls and swans).
    Coming back to the actual event itself, the entire night was filled with smiles (especially from fellow Kecharians) of pride and joy. Even Vice President and Liaison Henry Ooi (whom at times I am terrified off because of his most serious demeanour) had more than a smile on. He was beaming! Truly a magnificent feeling to be a part of the night. If this is a taste of things to come, it utterly reaafirms my commitment to suppport in whatever way I can to see KWPC manifest in all its colourful and brilliant glory!

  22. Sharon Saw on Jul 20, 2010 at 2:02 am

    I have been to three Kechara dinner & auctions – the first was in a small restaurant in TTDI, the second was at a bigger restaurant in Jalan Imbi and last night, we had around 700 pax in the grand ballroom of Sunway Resort Hotel!! Each and every event has been so fun and memorable.. but last night’s performance by our Kecharians really stole the show! Kudos to all!
    A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to make last night happen… it was really teamwork at its best and everyone united for a common goal. It was a generous gift of time, effort and/or funds from everyone. Thank you all!

  23. Ethan Chu on Jul 20, 2010 at 1:58 am

    Last night charity auction dinner was super fun! Not only we meet a lot of new friends and it was a chance to share what we had experienced with many many people.
    I had a good time talking to people and was extremely fulfilling when you know each and every sentence that you speak is to bring happiness and positive thoughts to people in order to benefit them… Many paid attention and was greatly amazed of the energy that the Kecharians oozed.. We sure know how to have fun while benefiting the society! Why not? Yes, who said Buddhism is dry and boring? Just take one good look at Kechara, you will definitely change the way you think!
    I overheard a young guy whispered “wah, buddhist can have tattoos one meh?” That really makes me happy. I just grinned and replied : “why not?” Spirituality is for everyone, peace is for everyone, religion is for everyone… Why divide? Just like the dinner last night, it was one motivation, one good cause, one goal, one dream, and of course, a one malaysia theme 🙂 hehe…
    Life is beautiful when you find that one thing: peace. but I would like to change that to “Kechara”, may I?

    I have lived this event from back stage, and I can say that if the event was fun from the front stage, so was it from the back stage! Us, swans, and wanna-be-girls, were chatting and laughing while adjusting our make-up, it was just hilarious.
    I did not expect that my journey in Dharma would have included such chapters, and if we all had a lot of fun rehearsing for days and performing that night, it was also with two good purposes:
    1. help in the fund-raising event,
    2. overcome our fear of loosing face (and that might actually be the best way to gain face..hehehehe…)
    And I also hope that our “performance” has opened up people’s mind about what it means to engage in spirituality. As indeed, we were cross-dressing with the mind of renunciation, check-it out!

    Venerable Ajahn Chah was a Thai Buddhist teacher of the Buddhadhamma and a founder of two major monasteries in the Thai Forest Tradition. Well respected and loved as a man of great wisdom, he was also instrumental in establishing Theravada Buddhism in the West. Interesting life story, how he chose to leave the settled monastic life and became a wandering ascetic. Walking across Thailand, lived in forests, caves and cremation grounds while learning from the meditation monks of the Forest of various monasteries. He wandered through the countryside in quest of quiet and secluded places for developing meditation. He even lived in tiger and cobra infested jungles, using reflections on death to penetrate to the true meaning of life. After years of wandering, Venerable Ajahn Chah established a monastery where he taught simple, practice-based form of meditation, and attracted a numerous of students including western foreigners. He was one of the greatest Dhamma teachers of the modern era. His wise teachings have continued to guide thousands of people along the path of Dharma. Venerable Ajahn Chah’s teachings of the Thai Forest Tradition gradually spread across all over the world. Several of Ajahn Chah’s Western students have since established monasteries throughout the world. Just in Thailand itself, there are more than 300 branch monasteries in Ajahn Chah’s tradition. Ven erable Ajahn Chah used his ill health as a teaching point, emphasizing that it was a living example of the impermanence of all things and reminded people to endeavour to find a true refuge within themselves. The legacy of Venerable Ajahn Chah’s teachings and legacy continues into the modern age.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    Wonderful blog written on the practice of Kalarupa for us to understand better. As an emanation of Manjushri, Kalarupa’s practice helps us to destroy ignorance and to develop wisdom overcoming our anger and suffering . Awesome Kalarupa manifested in multiple forms to help sentient beings who personifies enlightenment by the conquest of anger. Kalarupa also regard as one of the three main Dharma protectors of the Gelugpa is extremely fierce and ugly, and tames all kinds of spiritual ugliness. The fierceness of his iconography teaches us to remind ourselves that all the causes and effects of anger arising from ignorance are dreadful and distorted.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor Antionette for this detailed sharing,

    Nepal is a very spiritual country, having a huge Dorje Shugden mural in Kathmandu, is indeed a big achievement for Kechara. Located on Charkhal Road in Dilli Bazaar, the mural can be found midway between our two Dorje Shugden chapels which are in Putalisadak and Chabahil. It is also very close to one of Kathmandu’s largest shopping malls. Many locals , tourist will be able to connect them to a powerful deity that is so closely associated with their culture. Well the mural not only beautiful but also full of symbolism and everyone merely by seeing it is blessed. Thanks to those talented artists and generous sponsors making it a success.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on. Letting go helps us to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. A reminder for us all to go of attachment and meditating on impermanence and emptiness. We are to relinquish the domination of our ego and its habits to transform ourselves. A great reminder not to waste our previous life.
    Quoted Ceasing to do evil, Cultivating the good, Purifying the heart .
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing such a meaningful teachings with folded hands.

    Winning the lottery was part of my dreams, I tried so hard to win big but all to no avail, until I came across Dr Lucas online who made my dreams come through and made me win 10 million dollars. I was a logistics manager who lives in Lancaster, S.C. and works about an hour’s drive away, in Charlotte, N.C., I stopped at a store to buy a scratch-off lottery ticket during my lunch break, because Dr Lucas gave me all the assurance that the numbers are not going to fail after I did all he asked me to do. Dr lucas is a powerful Dr that is on a mission to eradicate poverty from people’s lives and i have confirmed that by winning $10 million with the numbers he provided for me, it is my promise to tell the world about my experience with Dr Lucas and that’s what I’m doing now, you can win the lottery fast with the help of Dr Lucas he is tested and trusted Email: Drlucasspelltemple@gmail. com or WhatsApp +234 904 794 3567 he will help you.

    We are members of the Buddhist Temple in Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur and we have been issued membership by the president (DATUK YIP KUM FOOK), we are very sad because we are the foundation of this Temple

    Now we can know who is always messing with people, and he always cheats money and women, he even uses Buddhism to find money.

    Also, need to be careful with his brother-in-law (Simon Low Kok Meng) because he is a spy (CID) for DATUK YIP KUM FOOK and we will write some letters to AGONG SULTAN IBRAHIM IBN ALMARHUM SULTAN ISKANDAR as soon as possible.

    The matriarchal cultures of the grandmothers have specific symbolism of animism shamanism, such as the horse, especially the blue horse, and the deer. These are two main symbols of a shaman woman and you can find them in many cultural folk lore, especially the Russian, Slavic, Siberian, Nordic, Finland, and Norway. It’s nice to see the Matriarchal Shaman Animism diety represented in Chinese.

    An inspiring act of a selfless Lama feeding strays whether its night or day. Truly an example for us all to feed those lonely strays . Yes I do agree compassion starts with feeding strays. Reading this blog again to refresh myself to do more. Strays animals generally lead a life of poor welfare on the street. Feeding strays is a compassionate act.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Anila for this sharing.

    H E Tsem Rinpoche’s Sungbum project aim to preserve the teachings and practices that have been passed from teacher to disciple in an unbroken line beginning with Lama Tsongkhapa himself . History has taught us the importance of preserving Buddha’s stainless teachings. Its important to preserve and safeguard the Buddhist tradition for future generations.
    Tsem Rinpoche is a clear and effective teacher where his stories and teachings are endlessly entertaining and inspiring. The preservation is very much needed. We are so fortunate given a chance to be involved in such a meritorious project .

    Demons are disembodied spirits, supernatural being or spirit and unseen beings. We know they do exist and I believe they do. They have no physical form to them whatsoever. Demons do definitely exist. They are intelligent beings who are evil malicious spirits and are all dangerous entities. Valak is not to be summoned capriciously by anyone as they are dangerous beings when we invoke them having to face a heavy consequence. There are spiritual practices that we can ask for help a ritual of the wrathful Manjushri in the form of Trakze. Having a doing the practice daily without fail, consistently, as this Trakze practice has been proven to be efficacious to break the hold the Valak and other spirits. All thanks to our Guru bringing this practice to Kechara Forest Retreat, Bentong Malaysia.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing for us to understand better.

    Wow ,reading all these powerful quotes had me realised much better of giving even I have little. May H E Tsem Rinpoche’s sincere advice to reach the far shore of liberation to everyone reading this blog. The most truly generous people are those who give silently without asking any in return. There is no exercise better than reaching and lifting people up. A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal. Well creating and lighting for others we naturally light our own way. Helping others especially those unfortunate ones, make us feel more positive about our own circumstances.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing all these powerful quotes.

    Lama Tsongkhapa was an influential Tibetan Buddhist monk, philosopher and tantric yogi, whose activities led to the formation of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism . Lama Tsongkhapa was hailed as the second Buddha by contemporary Buddhist masters of his time. Famous for reviving Buddhism in Tibet and revered for elevating the Dharma to all its present glory. Hence having a 12 ft Lama Tsongkhapa Statue at new Kechara Gompa (Prayer Hall) is indeed a blessing. Its truly beautiful. Merely by looking at it is a blessing .
    Thank you Rinpoche and team effort making it possible.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
