In today’s world, most people live in densely-populated cities. Constructed out of steel, concrete, cement and glass, these artificial environments may be attractive to some. Unfortunately however, man-made materials emanate trace amounts of negative energies that accumulate in our bodies over time. This, combined with the ever-present pollution in the air that we breathe, the stressful and sedentary lifestyle that we lead and the chemicals that are present in our food, eventually lead to the development of various types of illnesses of the body.

The claustrophobic lifestyle of the city can also induce depression, as we age and feel an increasing sense of hopelessness of living a life of utter materialism and self-indulgence. We feel helpless as we lose our health and mobility, and we inch closer towards our eventual mortality. It is no coincidence that torture is associated with bright lights, concrete and loud, raucous music while rehabilitation is associated with open spaces, blue skies, green grass and fresh air.

Hence, Kechara Forest Retreat (KFR) was originally conceived as a place of refuge and healing amongst trees, flowers and shrubs. Aside from the naturally-positive energies of a green environment, high lamas, monks and Dorje Shugden himself (while in trance of the Panglung Oracle) have consecrated the land with powerful pujas. Therefore, the land itself has become highly charged with healing and positive energies.

Gangchen Rinpoche blessed the stones over the course of a couple of days, imbuing them with healing energies. Click on image to enlarge.

In order for KFR to truly become a place of healing, His Eminence the 25th Tsem Rinpoche has conceived a number of ideas including the newly-opened Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain. Embedded within the fountain are semi-precious stones that were especially consecrated by Dorje Shugden while in trance of the Panglung OracleHis Holiness Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche, widely accepted to be a living emanation of Vajrayogini; our own Tsem Rinpoche and His Eminence Gangchen Rinpoche, an emanation of Medicine Buddha himself. When the water runs over these stones, it becomes charged with the healing properties of the stones and imbued with its blessings.

Bottles are provided for people to collect the water for their personal use. Some suggested uses for the consecrated water include:

  • Consumption by the sick to heal the body and clear the mind of negative emotions
  • Consumption by the dying to clear the mind in preparation for the final journey
  • Giving to heal stray animals and pets
  • Giving to dying or deceased animals in order to implant blessings and Dharma imprints to surface in future lives
  • Sprinkling on new Buddha statues and shrines as an act of consecration

An Introduction to Medicine Buddha

Medicine Buddha (Tibetan: Menlha; Sanskrit: Bhaisajyaguru) is described in the eponymous Baisajyaguruvaiduryaprabharaja Sutra, called the Medicine Buddha Sutra in English. He is described as having made 12 great vows on his spiritual journey towards enlightenment. On achieving complete enlightenment and attaining Buddhahood, he became the Buddha of an eastern Pure Land known as Vaiduryanirbhasa or “Pure Lapis Lazuli”. There, he is attended to by two Bodhisattvas symbolising the light of the sun and the light of the moon respectively.

The practice of Medicine Buddha, the Supreme Healer, is not only a very powerful method for healing and increasing healing powers for oneself and others, but also for overcoming the inner sickness of attachment, hatred, and ignorance. Therefore to meditate on the Medicine Buddha can help decrease physical and mental illness and sufferings.

The Medicine Buddha mantra is held to be extremely powerful for the healing of physical illness and purification of negative karma. One form of practice based on Medicine Buddha is done when one is stricken by disease. The patient is to recite the long Medicine Buddha mantra 108 times over a glass of water. The water is now believed to be blessed by the power of the mantra and the blessing of Medicine Buddha himself. The patient is to drink this water to be healed. This practice is then repeated each day until the illness is cured.

What is special about the Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain in Kechara Forest Retreat is that the water itself has already been blessed by the energies of Medicine Buddha. Simply drinking this water has a tremendous healing effect. Of course if you recite the mantra of Medicine Buddha, whether it is the condensed or extensive version, the healing effect will be magnified.

Iconography

Medicine Buddha is typically depicted seated, wearing the three robes of a Buddhist monk. He holds either a begging bowl or vase of medicine nectar in his left hand, resting in his lap. His right hand rests on his right knee, holding the stem of an arura fruit or Myrobalan between thumb and forefinger. In the Medicine Buddha Sutra, he is also described as having a bright and healing aura of lapis lazuli-coloured light. Within the Chinese tradition, Medicine Buddha is also sometimes depicted holding a pagoda, symbolising the 10,000 Buddhas of the three periods of time.

The 12 Vows of the Medicine Buddha

Here are the 12 Vows of the Medicine Buddha according to the Medicine Buddha Sutra. The Medicine Buddha made these vows before he became a Buddha and as a Buddha now, fulfils each and every one of these:

  1. To illuminate the countless realms with his radiance, enabling anyone to become a Buddha just like him.
  2. To awaken the minds of sentient beings through his light of lapis lazuli.
  3. To provide sentient beings with whatever material needs they require.
  4. To correct heretical views and inspire beings towards the path of the Bodhisattva.
  5. To help beings follow the moral precepts, even if they failed before.
  6. To heal beings born with deformities, illness or other physical sufferings.
  7. To help relieve the destitute and the sick.
  8. To help women who wish to be reborn as men achieve their desired rebirth.
  9. To help heal mental afflictions and delusions.
  10. To help the oppressed be free from suffering.
  11. To relieve those who suffer from terrible hunger and thirst.
  12. To help clothe those who are destitute and suffering from cold and mosquitoes.

The Benefits of Medicine Buddha

Most people think that Medicine Buddha practice is only for healing. However, his practice confers a lot of other benefits too, including:

  • We are freed from epidemics, execution, criminals, spirits; we create the merit to have complete physical and mental faculties; suffering is cut away from our lives; we do not fall to the lower realms in our next rebirth; we experience the happiness of both humans and gods; hunger, thirst and poverty is pacified; we generate wealth; we will not be tormented by beatings; we will not be harmed by tigers, lions and snakes; conflict is pacified; we will not suffer from floods; and we develop a loving mind.
  • We will always be born human in future rebirths so that we can practise the Dharma; we develop compassion; we purify obscurations to enlightenment; we attain the happiness of humans and gods; we will never be separated from our spiritual teachers; we will not be harmed by spirits, enemies or dangers in isolated places; we develop an enthusiasm for making offerings to the enlightened beings; we develop meditative concentration, mindfulness, strength, non-forgetfulness; and we attain wisdom.
  • We extend our lives; we develop material wealth; those who are angersome become loving; and we understand the importance of adhering to spiritual vows.
  • Our sorrow is pacified and we become happy; our bodies become bright and beautiful and we are protected from negativity; our relationships with family and friends improve; and we are healed of diseases.
  • We always see the truth and have faith in the enlightened beings; we are able to hear the Dharma teachings again and again; material resources increase; and we become content.
  • We remove malice from our minds; if we have engaged in negative actions, we become motivated to engage in positive actions instead; and those who are controlled by others gain their independence.

Medicine Buddha Prayers

The following prayers can be recited on a daily basis to create a connection with Medicine Buddha and invite the energies of divine healing into one’s life. You can do either one of the prayers, both of which include the recitation of his holy and healing mantra.

 

Medicine Buddha Sadhana (1)

Going for Refuge and Generating Bodhicitta

Until I attain enlightenment,
I respectfully go for refuge
To the Guru, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
To attain Buddhahood for the welfare
Of all living beings
I shall make requests to the Seven Sugatas. (3x)

Visualising the Seven Sugatas

On the crown of my head sits the Tathagata Medicine Guru.
His body is blue, his right hand, in the mudra if supreme giving, holds
an Arura plant, and his left hand, in the mudra of meditative equipoise,
holds a bowl filled with medicine nectar.

On his crown is the Tathagata King of Clear Knowing.
His body is red, his right hand is in the mudra of supreme giving, and his
left hand is in the mudra of meditative equipoise.

On his crown is the Tathagata Melodious Ocean of Dharma Proclaimed.
His body is light red, and both his hands are in the mudra of expounding Dharma.

On his crown is the Tathagata Supreme Glory Free From Sorrow.
His body is pale red, and both his hands are in the mudra of meditative equipoise.

On his crown is the Tathagata Stainless Excellent Gold.
His body is golden, and both his hands are in the mudra of expounding Dharma.

On his crown is the Tathagata King of Melodious Sound.
His body is golden, his right hand is in the mudra of supreme giving,
and his left hand is in the mudra of meditative equipoise.

On his crown is the Tathagata Glorious Renown of Excellent Signs.
His body is golden, his right hand is in the mudra of granting protection,
and his left hand is in the mudra of meditative equipoise.

They all wear the three robes of a monk and are adorned with the major and minor marks. They sit in the vajra posture on seats of a lotus and moon.

Offering the Seven Limbs

Merely through the touch of the smallest part of your supreme medicinal plant, you cool the fires of the deepest hells, transforming them into lotus pools. To you, Assembly of Protectors of impure beings, with my body, speech and mind, respectfully I prostrate.

I offer a vast collection of offerings, both are actually set out and emanated through the power of mantra, wisdom, and imagination. I confess all negativities and downfalls, rejoice in virtue beseech you to remain, and request you to teach. I dedicate these virtues to great enlightenment.

Making Requests

O Great Assembly of Blessed Ones, please listen to me.
Previously you Seven Sugatas made prayers,
To fulfil the promises you have made
In this, the final five hundred years of Buddha Shakyamuni’s Teachings;
I request you now to show me the truth directly.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha,
Great King, Glorious Renown of Excellent Signs, to you I prostrate, make offerings and go for refuge. (7x)

The Tathagata Glorious Renown of Excellent Signs melts into light and dissolves into the Tathagata King of Melodious Sound.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha, King of Melodious Sound, Brilliant Radiance of Skill, Fully Adorned with Jewels, Moon and Lotus, to you I prostrate, make offerings, and go for refuge. (7x)

The Tathagata King of Melodious Sound melts into light and dissolves into the Tathagata Stainless Excellent Gold.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha, Stainless Excellent Gold, Jewel Radiance who Accomplish your vows, to you I prostrate, make offerings, and go for refuge. (7x)

The Tathagata Stainless Excellent Gold melts into light and dissolves into the Tathagata Supreme Glory Free from Sorrow.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha, Supreme Glory Free from Sorrow, to you I prostrate, make offerings, and go for refuge. (7x)

The Tathagata Supreme Glory Free From Sorrow melts into light and dissolves into the Tathagata Melodious Ocean of Dharma Proclaimed.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha, Melodious Ocean of Dharma Proclaimed, to you I prostrate, make offerings, and go for refuge. (7x)

The Tathagata Melodious Ocean of Dharma Proclaimed melts into light and dissolves into the Tathagata King of Clear Knowing.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha, King of Clear Knowing, who Fully Enjoys the Supreme Wisdom of an Ocean of Dharma, to you I prostrate, make offerings, and go for refuge. (7x)

The Tathagata King of Clear Knowing melts into light and dissolves into the Tathagata Medicine Guru.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha, Medicine Guru, Great King with the Radiance of a Lapis Jewel, to you I prostrate, make offerings, and go for refuge. (7x)

The Tathagata King of Medicine melts into light and dissolves into me. All sickness, spirits, negativities, and obstructions that afflict me are purified, and I become the Buddha, Medicine Guru.

Recitation of Mantra

At my heart, on a moon disk, is a letter HUM surrounded by the mantra rosary.

TAYATHA OM BEKANZEY BEKANZEY MAHA BEKANZEY BEKANZEY RANZA SAMU-GATEY SOHA. (1 mala per day, or more)

Dedication

Through my virtues from prostrating, making offerings, and reciting the names of the Assembly of Seven Sugatas,
May the supreme prayers that they previously made
The two sets of eight, the four sets of four, and the twelve promises
Immediately ripen upon myself and all other living beings.

Medicine Buddha Sadhana (2)

Meditation

Visualise yourself in your ordinary body, with your heart at the centre of your chest, inverted, pointing upwards. Inside your heart is a white, eight-petal lotus. At its centre is a moon disc, upon which is seated the Healing Buddha in the aspect of supreme transformation. His holy body is clear and in the nature of dark blue light, and he holds an arura plant in his right hand and begging bowl in his left.

In front of the Healing Buddha is the white medicinal goddesses, Actualised Wisdom; to his right is the yellow medicinal goddess, Simultaneous Wealth; behind him is the red forest goddess, Peacock’s Throat; to his left is the green tree goddess, Radiant One. Each goddess is in the nature of blissful radiant light and has one face and two arms. An Arura plant is in each goddess’s right hand, with a vase adorned with various ornaments in the left. The four goddesses sit cross-legged, not in the full vajra position but in the aspect of offering respect to the Healing Buddha.

Then make this request:

O DESTROYER, COMPLETE IN ALL QUALITIES AND GONE
BEYOND AND YOU FOUR MEDICINAL GODDESSES.
PLEASE PACIFY IMMEDIATELY THE ILLNESSES THAT AFFLICT ME
NOW AND HELP ME AVOID ALL FUTURE SICKNESS.

Light rays of the appropriate colour emanate from each of the five deities at your heart. Your heart and body are full of blissful light, which perfectly purifies all diseases, spirit harms, and negative actions and their imprints. Beams of five coloured light radiate from all the pores in your body, while nectar flows down from the Healing Buddha’s begging bowl and the vases held by the four goddesses, completely filling your heart and body. Generate the strong recognition that you have vanquished disease forever and will never be sick again. While concentrating single-pointedly on this visualization, recite the short or long Healing Buddha mantra seven, twenty-one, one hundred and eight, or more times.

Short Mantra of Medicine Buddha

TAYATHA OM BEKANZEY BEKANZEY MAHA BEKANZEY BEKANZEY RANZA SAMU-GATEY SOHA.

Long mantra of Medicine Buddha

OM NAMO BHAGAWATE BEKANZEY GURU BENDURYA PRABHA RANZAYA TAYATHA ARHATE SAMYAKSAM BUDDHAYA TAYATHA OM BEKANZEY BEKANZEY MAHA BEKANZEY RANZA SAMU-GATEY SOHA

If you are sick, after you have finished reciting the mantra, put some saliva in your left palm, rub it on the tip of your right ring finger, place the tip of this finger at the entrance of your right and left nostrils, where the so-called All-Doing King Nerve can be found, and apply the saliva to the afflicted parts of your body. Then recite as many mantras of the Sanskrit vowels and consonants as possible, along with the mantra of the Heart of Dependent Arising.

Sanskrit Vowels

OM A AA I II U UU RI RII LI LII E AI O AU AM AH SOHA

Sanskrit Consonants

OM KA KHA GA GHA NGA / TSA TSHA DZA DZHA NYA / TA THA DA DHA NA / TA THA DA DHA NA / PA PHA BA BHA MA / YA RA LA VA / SA SHA SA HA KSHA SOHA

Is this not just beautiful? This is exactly what Kechara Forest Retreat is envisioned to be, which is a place where every corner is filled with something to benefit others. Here, people can see Medicine Buddha and plant seeds of enlightenment in their minds. They can recite his holy mantra and drink water that has been blessed by him, many lamas and by Dorje Shugden himself.

We hope to build a larger fountain in the future so that this can be made available to more people. Medicine Buddha, due to the vows he made before becoming enlightened, is very powerful and potent for blessing us to heal from diseases of the body and mind. May everyone be healed, happy and free from suffering.

    Kechara Forest Retreat (KFR) a place of refuge and healing located at Bentong, Pahang. The land with healing and positive energies suits those wanted to get away from the busy city. The naturally-positive energies of a green environment. With the land been consecrated by high lamas, monks and Dorje Shugden while in trance of the Panglung Oracle with powerful pujas. Having a Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain built at KFR is wonderful , which benefited many locals and tourist visiting KFR. The Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain in KFR where the water itself has already been blessed by the energies of Medicine Buddha. Hence simply drinking this water has a tremendous healing effect. HE Gangchen Rinpoche, an emanation of Medicine Buddha had blessed the semi-precious stones, placed at the fountain. It was then consecrated by Dorje Shugden, H H Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche a living emanation of Vajrayogini, and our Lama Tsem Rinpoche as well.
    Than you Rinpoche with folded hands

    This Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain was built in such away that it will deliver healing waters which were energized with natural crystals blessed by High Lamas. Those natural crystals were imbued with the healing energies of Medicine Buddha and Dorje Shugden.
    With the new healing fountain, visitors can bring home the holy healing energy in a bottle. Thank you very much Rinpoche and Kechara for making this Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain available for everyone.

    Healing fountain at Kechara Forest Retreat is one of the popular visiting areas that crowed many people to pay homage and make wishes. One of the must-do things at this holy place is to collect blessed water from the unique and beautiful boulders. The water was energized with natural crystals blessed by High Lamas and imbued with the healing energies of Medicine Buddha and Dorje Shugden. What you need to do is to get the bottle from the boulder cabinet and fill it with the blessed water. You can make a donation of minimum of RM10 at the donation box next to it.

    I have heard that many people were benefited from the water and many returns to collect more. This is why H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche created Kechara Forest Retreat which is to benefit many people in various ways for various needs.

    Do stop by at Healing Fountain to circumambulate Medicine Buddha and collect the blessed water.

    All enlightened beings are worthy of homage and worship. They are the best beings to take refuge in and we should offer them our prayers as we can put our full confidence in them. Of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, I personally find that Manjushri is extremely important. This is because what keeps us in samsara (cyclic rebirth) is our total ignorance and misunderstanding of the reality of existence. What is necessary to penetrate this deep ignorance that keeps us bound in a perpetual state of reincarnation is wisdom. We need many types of wisdom which can be acquired by relying on Manjushri as our yidam (meditational deity). By focusing on his meditation, practice, mantra and path we can gain wisdom in order to have the tool to penetrate the reality of existence. Therefore, Manjushri is an extremely important Buddha for us to focus on and take refuge in.

    每一位觉者都能成为我们朝拜、膜拜的对象。他们是我们至高、至好的皈依,我们应该向他们做祈请,并且对他们生起全然的信念。在众佛菩萨之中,我个人认为文殊菩萨极为重要。这是因为使我们身陷娑婆(轮回)的是我们自身的无明,以及对实相的曲解。智慧是一种必要,它能穿透我们深不见底的无明,那个使我们受困于无止境投生的无明。我们需要多种智慧,而依止文殊菩萨作为我们的本尊,即能使我们成就多种智慧。透过文殊菩萨的观想、修持法门、心咒及修行道路,我们能成就智慧,拥有了知实相的“器具”。故此,专注于文殊菩萨的修持法门、皈依他,对我们而言都极为重要。

    My 15 yr old Labrador, Ralph refused to eat his meals after my son went back to school overseas. Might be missing Matt we are not sure. Ralph became weak and could not even stand up. I gave him bits of Medicine Buddha blessed water and after the third day he started to eat a little. We continued each day to pour some blessed water into his water bowl. That was a week ago and now he is much stronger. I was so happy to see him trot out to the garden to enjoy the morning sun.
    Thank you Rinpoche for your immense compassion, always thinking of ways on how to help reduce the sufferings of all beings ! With folded hands my deepest gratitude to my Guru !!

    This Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain is dedicated to all sentient beings who are suffering from sickness of the body, speech and mind. May this fountain bring relief to all beings who are ill and may its sacred waters heal all disease. May it also purify their minds so that they eventually achieve the body, speech and mind of a fully enlightened Buddha.
    这将造福很多人,无论身;心;灵都得于疗愈。

    This is great news to have the Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain now at Kechara Forest Retreat for everyone to be blessed with. The water is highly blessed and I rejoice for everyone who is able to drink this holy water.

    Thank you for adding the teaching on Medicine Buddha and all the information on Medicine Buddha, the benefits and Sadhana. We are very fortunate to receive these and it is available on the internet for everyone to use.

    Amazing and beautiful structure of this healing fountain at Kechara Forest Retreat. Just by looking at it I felt a sense of calmness . I am fortunate to be there when the beautiful Medicine Buddha statue were consecrated. Having this Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain is indeed benefits for many and many more to come as they visit this beautiful place . Rinpoche has conceptualized Kechara Forest Retreat , creating the holy and sacred land, Kechara Forest Retreat in Bentong. This Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain was built in such away that it will deliver healing waters which were energised with natural crystals blessed by High Lamas. Those natural crystals were imbued with the healing energies of Medicine Buddha and Dorje Shugden.
    May those who come to this Holy place…..Kechara Forest Retreat be free of suffering and healed of whatever sickness.
    Thank you Rinpoche , team and those kind sponsors in making this possible

    Thank you Rinpoche for conceptualizing and creating the holy and sacred land, Kechara Forest Retreat in Bentong, Pahang as a place for all people to engage in meditation, prayers, healing activities as well as other forms of spirituality such as voluntary works, maintaining the natural environment and facility within the holy land, and rescuing the animals in need within the vicinity of that area. However, in the current degenerate age, not all people could have the spiritual merits to fully understand the importance of consistent Dharma practice that can purify the negative karma, which can come to us in the form of inner or outer sickness, pain or terminal illness. Hence, through the compassion and blessing from His Holiness Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche (an emanation of Vajra Yogini), His Eminence Gangchen Rinpoche (an emanation of Medicine Buddha), our own Guru, His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche and Dorje Shugden in trance of the Panglung Oracle, the semi-precious stones were blessed by these high lamas that make Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain available for many lay people and practitioners to receive the healing energies directly from the blessed water.

    By consuming the blessed water imbued with enlightened energies from the high lamas, the Dharma seeds can be planted into lay peoples’ minds and practitioners as well so that the clarity can be instilled to eliminate the delusions and engage more in Dharma practice and Dharma works until achieving the realization of emptiness, higher attainments and eventually gaining the enlightenment to become Buddha. No sentient beings should be ignored or left behind from receiving the blessing from the Three Jewels as the cycle of sufferings will never end if one continues to dwell in the delusion of samsara.

    Thank you with folded hands,
    kin hoe

  12. Cc on Sep 10, 2018 at 11:55 pm

    ???Thank you Rinpoche, the team and sponsored for having medicine Buddha and healing fountain.

    Indeed fortunate to have in at KFR and may it benefit more people and lead them to dharma.

  13. Yee Yin on Sep 10, 2018 at 9:55 pm

    Wow, a healing fountain is now available in Kechara Forest Retreat, what a great news. Kechara Forest Retreat is highly energised with holy and sacred energy as Tsem Rinpoche and many other high lamas have performed countless pujas here. With the new healing fountain, visitors can bring home the holy healing energy in a bottle.

    We are extremely lucky in Malaysia because Tsem Rinpoche has built KFR for the public to come and collect merits and to heal. Nowadays, materially we are very comfortable, but many of us are also not well emotionally or mentally due to the pressure from our daily life. Of course, more and more people are also affected by physical illness.

    The divine power does exist if we have faith. When we pray to the Buddha sincerely for the benefit of others, he will help provided we have the karma to be helped. Therefore, it is very important to create the karma. We can start to create this karma by coming to KFR to make offering regularly and learn to be generous. When we give without condition, things will somehow come back to us.

  14. Chris on Sep 10, 2018 at 9:22 pm

    Thank you, Rinpoche for the healing fountain in Kechara Forest Retreat. With this latest addition to Kechara Forest Retreat, many will be benefited by this healing water. Rinpoche had always said that Kechara Forest Retreat will be a place of healing always. Those who come here will heal mentally and physically.

    Many have come to Kechara Forest Retreat with their illness in the seek for hope and a positive outcome for their body. This water will help them tremendously by healing their troubled minds worrying over their sickness and heal their body as well.

    May those who come to Kechara Forest Retreat be healed of their problems and suffering.

  15. Sofi on Sep 9, 2018 at 9:24 pm

    This Medicine Buddha healing fountain is so needed in these times of so much pollution and people getting sick so easily. Everyone will surely know a few persons of terminal illness. Illness also seem to take longer to heal too. I am sure that this highly blessed healing fountain will be one of the major attraction not to be missed by all the visitors. As with Tsa Tsa Ong’s comment, miracles are already happening. Rinpoche always puts his care into action to benefit others and its powerful teaching for us to follow. Thank you Rinpoche.

  16. Pastor Han Nee on Sep 9, 2018 at 9:13 pm

    A Medicine Buddha shrine, in the Kechara Forest Retreat – a sanctuary of peace , highly charged with positive energies of healing – with a healing fountain whose water is energised by crystals consecrated by Dorje Shugden and blessed by great Masters , including Gangchen Rinpoche, the emanation of Medicine Buddha!

    The benefits of the healing water are manifold. Besides its power of healing both humans and animals of disease, for humans, there is healing of the mind and purification of negativities. For the dying , partaking of this water prepares him or her for the final journey. For dying animals, it will implant seeds of dharma that will open up in future lives.
    Recently, when my husband and I went on a short pilgrimage to the holy shrines of Kechara Forest Retreat, we visited this shrine of sacred blessed Medicine Buddha.

    Offering light, praying, chanting mantras and circumambulating, and afterwards partaking of the holy healing water, I was overwhelmed by a powerful feeling of healing and peace. Chanting His sacred mantra and engaging in the weekly Kechara House Medicine Buddha puja seemed to come together here and resonate within me in that one moment!

  17. Sharon Ong on Sep 9, 2018 at 5:14 pm

    The Healing Water is truly powerful. Besides a few healing stories that I have heard, I have personally witnessed how a splash of this blessed water has healed my older son’s eczema that was bugging him for some weeks now. He showed me the day after he splashed some on his neck and true enough, his skin looks normal without any traces of eczema.

    We are indeed very fortunate to have this right here in Malaysia. The Healing Water is powerful due to the blessed semi-precious stones that were blessed by HE Gangchen Rinpoche who is none other than Medicine Buddha himself.

    Thank you, Rinpoche and everyone who made this possible.

  18. Jacinta on Sep 9, 2018 at 4:04 pm

    Medicine Buddha ~ definitely on my Bucket list for pilgrimage and circumambulation. Will recommend others to look out for this spot and also to invite back the healing water. Absolutely essential for optimal healing.

    Thank you Rinpoche and all Kecharians in making this possible.

  19. Tsa Tsa Ong on Sep 8, 2018 at 9:33 pm

    I was eagerly looking forward for this auspicious event to be on the blog. And I’m very glad it is as I have a positive feedback to give from a dhama sister from Ipoh. On the Consecration of the Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain – 25/08/18 , KISG had a pilgrimage trip and my dharma sister was having a slightly bloated stomach as usual. She was a bit doubtful whether the Medicine Buddha blessed water is really effective? Anyway, after she drank it from the day itself until now her tummy has no problems anymore. And she told me she couldn’t believe it and asked me to ask my sister vivian to bring some back for me. Thank you very much Rinpoche and Kechara for making this Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain available for everyone ????

    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.

    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
