Plant Seeds of Dharma in Your Beloved Pets…

Mar 22, 2010 | Views: 565

Mumu loves to drive his car…

Mumu can be kinda Garfield from time to time

Mumu’s had a long hard day and he’s resting warm and snuggly in my bed

Mumu doesn’t like to sleep alone..here he is all cuddled up with Monlam

Mumu thinks out loud in this picture…

Sometimes mumu licks his paws too much and it irritates them, so he has to wear a little collar to protect him… which makes him look like a space doggie on the Jetson’s.

Mumu and his good friend Zamkar Baby… cute

Mumu had a super short army haircut here, so we can call him Seargent Mumu…

Well the above was your ‘daily’ dose of cute to cheer you up and make you happy. Mumu has that effect on people. Together with Zamkar, they are sure to put a smile on your face.

Have a good day filled with attainments, peace, success and harmony.

Remember always chant Medicine Buddha prayers/sutras/sadhanas, mantra or names to your beloved pets and let them be blessed. Any Yidam’s/Buddha’s mantras/prayers are ok..Let them be planted with the seeds of meeting the sacred Dharma in another life. So that way, their time with you didn’t go to waste.They are with you for a reason, put Dharma in their mindstream and give them that type of great love so that when they seperate from you, they will be ok due to your compassion. Love your pets by planting dharma in their consciousness. Important. Thank you for your compassion.

    Having dog can be soul-searching or spiritual awakening. It benefits both sides, no doubt it comes with responsibility.

    I don’t have pet dog at home but surprisingly, a few cats will come at night for food, a dog comes often in the morning for us to pet (this one is a real surprise!) and occasionally there’s birds and frogs too, hanging around at our home.

    A pet by definition means a domestic or tamed animal or bird kept for companionship or pleasure and treated with care and affection. In a way, the reasons for us keeping pets are purely selfish – for our own companionship, even showering them with care and affection can be deem as selfish because it is to satisfy something within us.

    How many of us thought about what we can really do for our pets? What can they really take with them? I guess for those of us specially Buddhists who believe in reincarnation and rebirth, it makes even more sense to think about what we can offer our pets in terms of benefiting their mind during their lifespan as animal that they spend with us.

    The kindness that we showed animals will plant compassion in their mind stream. As long as I can remembered since I met Rinpoche, whenever and wherever Rinpoche goes and encountered any animals – pets or strays, Rinpoche always recite mantras that’s audible for the animals to hear. I found it very odd but I guess one kind of unconsciously picked up the habit.

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing with us such cute pictures of Mumu, and the advises on how to help and benefit our pets spiritually.

    I have placed a tsa tsa into the playpen of my guinea pigs. I chant mantras for them when I take them out to play as well. They are very smart piggies, they do no chew on the tsa tsa. Every thing else in their play pen has their bite marks except for the tsa tsa. I guess deep down in them they do know that on the tsa tsa there is a Buddha’s image.

    Haha! Cute pictures of Mumu!

    Thank you for the advice on blessing our beloved pets. I have both of my dogs wear a Buddha pendant on their doggy collar so that they will be blessed by the Buddhas. I also have a picture of Medicine Buddha near where they sleep always so that they will look at the image and plant these holy seeds in their mindstream which will help them in the future.

  7. Sean Wang on Feb 7, 2013 at 3:36 pm

    These photos are really adorable. Thank you Rinpoche for sharing these images. I always chant Medicine Buddha, Manjushri and Chenrezig Mantras for my animals to hear. This is so that in a future life, they are able to meet the Dharma. Whenever I recite mantras for the animals in my home, they become extremely happy and friendly.

    My eyes are captured by the title of this blog. As I have been blowing air onto my pet’s forehead and body after my daily prayer. I want her to be blessed by Buddhas and to have better lives.

    There are many things that I am curious about, especially with what Rinpoche has said that ‘…they are with you for a reason…’. I dont understand this, is it that she was somehow associated with me in my past lives?

    It was actually by chance that she came into my life. I went to a pet shop and wanted to have a pet. That time, I heard from ppl that when you want to buy a pet, dont choose the dog yourself, let the puppy comes to you. This was what happened.

    Rinpoche, if you will ever read this blog again, can you tell me what do you mean by this line – ‘they are with you for a reason…’. Does it mean that, for example, a stranger in my present life will continue to be a stranger in my next life and that my best friends in this present life will continue to be so in my next life?’

    H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche created a new range of dog pendants for all the
    ‘mumus’ to wear. The pendant is made of an egg-shaped acrylic casing. The front part is Manjushri Buddha, which bestows wisdom and the back is a blessed protector’s string. This mumu pendant is then hooked on to the collar.
    Rinpoche wanted mumu to be protected 24 hours a day. Hopefully, by letting the mumu have manjushri be worn around his neck, good imprints are planted for a better future life. The blessed protector string is to protect mumu from any obstacles, danger and so that they will lead a happy and peaceful life. It is for mumu to always be protected by the three jewels and in all his rebirths.
    Rinpoche gave one of these pendants to Zamkar baby too. So Zamkar baby is wearing it everyday and is protected. I am happy for Zamkar baby!

    Yes Wan,
    Rinpoche loves us all and Rinpoche loves all both in worldly and spiritual sense. I think most of us whom have not met Rinpoche would not have had the opportunity to love animals as we do now today. We would have not had the chance to even meet with Rinpoche’s precious Mumu. Through Mumu and the love Rinpoche has for Mumu and animals in general, we begin to adapt it onto ourselves and it is very long lasting and satisfying to know that another being is being cared for by you without him thanking you. This tells us how wholehearted we are in loving them.
    I know u love Gonpo and Namtse alot and everytime i see u loving and hugging them it reminds me of how a mother would love their children. So warm and touching.
    Compassion and kindness are the key to realizing the Kuan Yin in us for these animals and of course for everyone in the world!

    With rinpoche thoughful and kindness, i was given a schnauzer puppy in 6years ago. In that time most of time i stay alone at home as my husband and housemate were busy outside with their works. My little boy name is Gonpo, his name was given by rinpoche. Its a name of six arm mahakala, a Dharma protector. Rinpoche told me that everytime i call him with his buddha name he will get a blessing by hearing buddha name. By the way all our dogs ( i and our dharma friends like paul, james ) were given name by rinpoche.. how blessed of them..
    Rinpoche very kind to give a little cute gonpo to me so that i not feel lonely when i was at home and because schnauzer is an intelligent dog which i can train him and he also a mini tpye which i able to take him around with me when i go outside as well. I used to have a dog when i stayed with my parents in thai and i never thought that i will have any pets here, i really mean it..it really beyond my thought. I would like to say a big Thank you to rinpoche to gave me a little gonpo.
    Rinpoche not only gave me a puppy but he also taught me how to take care of him in worldy way and in spiritual way so that it not just a watse of time for me and gonpo, Rinpoche said since he has karma to born as a dog and somehow he and me have karma to be together, the best thing i can do for him is to chant budha mantra and blow on him daily to plant seeds in his mind which it will benefit to him in his future life.
    I have followed rinpoche advice whereby every day i will chant manjushri mantra and blow on him. I always shared this with our customers who i found out that they have pets as i know they love them same as i love gonpo. And the best thing, now we also have pet pendants for pets, it came from a thoughful of rinpoche to help protect and bless pets. If you really love your animals please either get a pet pendants or chant mantra for them.. or if you can do both for them…excellent!!!

    Terima Kasih Rinpoche!
    It’s Mumu-san and Zamakar-san again!

    Sadhu! Excellent! Well spoken!

    Every thing the Guru does has a purpose.
    Rinpoche always gets pets for his younger students , in particular those that are still single. Some wonder why, when these young people already working so hard in Kechara and why put more responsibility on them.
    Later, in one of his teachings, Rinpoche told us the reason – he wants the young , single people to learn to care for others; to put their spiritual knowledge into practice.
    Many of today’s young people especially those from urban areas, due to smaller family structure , don’t have the chance to take care of younger siblings. Parents usually focus all their attention on one or two children. Some children grow up to be very self centered and take things for granted.
    When Rinpoche spotted these traits in some of his students, he would buy them pets to help the students in their spiritual training.

    Mumu is so cute <3
    Pets brings so much love everyday !
    Thank you for sharing Rinpoche 🙂

  15. bybeaet on Mar 22, 2010 at 8:49 pm

    My heart smiles while looking at Mumu and friends. Animals are high teachers. I live with some “wild” animals around like fox,spiders, rabbits, marten and so on – they are teaching myself every day. Greatings bybeat.

  16. Helen Persson on Mar 22, 2010 at 6:32 pm

    You and your dog spreads such good vibrations with these lovely and humourus pictures. It´s such a nice practice to recite mantras for animals. I´ve used it when meeting a dog or other animal. They seem to listen 🙂

  17. betsy on Mar 22, 2010 at 1:31 pm

    Just yesterday kid and me took home one lovely white rabbit. The previous owner cant manage too many rabbits anymore (she got 8 rabbits at home) so decided to give away some of them. I promoted to other friends and both of them agreed to take one for each as well. So three sweet white rabbits now are happily getting new home.

  18. David Beers on Mar 22, 2010 at 5:56 am

    Sometimes when they lick their paws too much it is a sign of a food allergy. You might try some different foods for Mumu to see if this helps him be comfortable. We actually cook special food for our dog with turkey, potatoes, carrots and peas. It’s some extra work compared to store-bought food since he’s a big dog, but he loves it and he doesn’t chew on his paws anymore. And yes, he does love to join us for dharma practice.
    Our dogs have taught us many important dharma lessons, both in how they live and how they die.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.
    6 years ago
    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

One the day of Losar (new lunar year), it is always beneficial for Buddhist practitioners to get together in making abundant offerings to Buddhas on the altar to usher in goodness, prosperity and well-being of our loved ones. It's more auspicious this year as Losar and the Chinese New Year begin on the same date, 10th Feb, 2024. Back in Penang, our Kechara members came together to decorate the altar with abundance offerings for Dorje Shugden puja @3pm. Kechara Penang Study Group by Jacinta.

Umze for the day was Siew Hong. She's just been with us for slightly more than a year now but she's proven her capability in leading the puja. Our Penang group members are so proud of her and her commitment in attending the weekly puja. Despite being eloquence and smart, she has beautiful chant as well. When she leads, make sure you are there to hear her chant for yourself! Kechara Penang Study Group by Jacinta.

Dharma sharing by Hue before we proceeded with DS puja & Rinpoche Swift Return puja. Hue is one of the long time Kechara Penang members and he comes to puja regularly. He shared that he truly believes that Dorje Shugden and Rinpoche always there guiding him. He shared how sometimes DS will give him hints to avert troubles ahead or to alert him when he 'misbehaved'. Hope many will come to know more about this powerful Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden aka DS. Having Dorje Shugden is like having a powerful ally that will protect us day and night. Just trust Him and have faith. Kechara Penang Study Group, 25/11/2023 by Jacinta.
