Question asked by Khokon Dewan

I am 38 years old, walking through a phase of life where I’m still searching for financial stability and a sense of inner balance. As my parents grow older, I feel the sacred duty to care for them while also learning how to care for myself. I’ve experienced a few relationships that didn’t last and continue to face challenges in my present one — each teaching me something about love, patience, and self-awareness.
At this stage, I wish to understand how to rise above these obstacles with grace and clarity. I’m open to any spiritual guidance or practical wisdom that can help me move forward with strength, peace, and purpose. Thank you with all my heart.

Question asked by Liu

Dear Rinpoche

My name is Liu. I unfortunately have been literately attacked and possessed by malevolent spirits due to practicing Buddhist chanting by myself at home without proper guidance and knowledge.
The spirits (entities) have physical bodies and entered my skull and hijacked my brain everything since, causing constant headache and mental issues like, paranoia and anxeity.

I’ve looked the whole internet up for this kind of issue, even Catholic exorcism but found no explanation until I watched your video “Why spirits like to enter your body”.
It well explained their intention is to “borrow my body to experience human life”, like taste food, listen to music.

However they are causing all kinds of trouble in my life and I want them to leave. So may I ask some advice on how to help myself?

Regards

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Liu,

    We are very sorry to read that this has been happening. There are many methods in Tibetan Buddhism to help deal with such situations. However, according to what you have written, the practice of Trakze will be extremely beneficial for you.

    You can find more information here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/trakze-to-dispel-black-magic-spirits.html

    The article and resources cover everything you need to engage in the practice at home. You should aim for at least 1 mala of Trakze mantra a day, with an altar and offerings according to your means.

    If you should require any further assistance or would like to sponsors pujas to help the situation as well. Please contact us directly: https://www.kechara.com/contact/

    I hope this helps.

Question asked by Jason

I respectful ask. Why do we offer pearls, drums, and conch horns when these most certainly came from harming/ killing living beings. I ask this as Im concerned about my bodhisattva vow/ and pratimoksha vow. If we offer these things it would be like approving of the harm

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Jason,

    Offering such things do not break or contravene either your bodhisattva vows or your pratimoksha vows. It is not approving of harm at all. If it was then the lamas and practitioners of all traditions would not be making them as offerings and they would all have broken their vows. This is not possible, otherwise there would be no Buddhist path to practice any more.

    All traditions of Buddhism offer something along these lines. For example, in the Theravada traditions conch shells are offered and also horns are offered. You can see them quite clearly at the main Theravada temples throughout the world. In the Tibetan traditions, pearls are offered, etc. You are not directly involved in any harm, hence it does not counter your vows.

    If however, you want to go one step further than the vows in how you uphold the principle of non-harm, then you can use synthetic versons. Or offer something else completely. For example, I know some people who are vegan, so they don’t use any items from animals at all. But this is more of a personal choice than anything to do with upholding your vows. One of the reasons why conch shells are offered is because they represent the offering of sound. If you are not comfortable with offering conch shells, then you can offer something else that represents sound, for example a musica instrument or a representation of a musical instrument.

    Traditionally pearls were offered because they were extremely vaulable, and at the same time pracitioners prayed for the oysters from which they came, so they were blessed. As long as that pearl was part of an offering, merit was also generated for the sentient being from which it came, so they can benefit wherever they are.

    I hope these explanations help. You can adjust your offerings, that is not a problem, because offerings are made from the heart. If your heart is not comfortable with the traditional offerings, change the offerings to suit yourself but in keeping with the reasons why such offerings are made and in line with Buddhist principles.

Question asked by Jay

Hello

I recently took the 5 deity Chakrasamvara initiation and got the lung at a large empowerment ceremony; I have finished my preliminaries and my studies and am looking for the long sadhana but I can only find the middle and short ones. Tsem Rinpoche recommended that people do the long sadhana if they can and so I was wondering if you all would allow me to have access to it

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Jay,

    Thanks for your question. For this, you should actually contact the lama or the organisers of the empowerment ceremony that you attend. They would be able to provide you with the correct long sadhana to use. The sadhanas used would depend on the tradition you are practicing and the specific lienage of 5-Deity Chakrasamvara that was passed on. This would actually also apply to the short and medium length sadhanas also. I hope this helps.

Question asked by Jigme Naksang

I’m planning to buy a two wheeler vehicle this year i.e in 2025.
But I’m confuse or reluctant to buy because 2025 is a black year, therefore what should I do?

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Jigme Naksang,

    When thinking about buying, you can think on a more practical aspect such as affordability, safety, etc, first. This is always the main thing, then if you are confused/reluctant due to the year, you can either always wait until the next year if it’s not an urgent thing, or you can engage in the practice of Dharma Protector to keep your protected if you buy and use it. I hope this helps.

Question asked by Albert

Dear Pastor,

1. I have a 4-year-old toddler. He is not autism, but he is a bit slower in learning and writing compared to his peers. I would like to pray to Manshuri for him. May I know if there is any guidance on how to pray and visualise Manshuri such as release light upon my toddler etc and hopefully help him improve?

2. In today's era, may I know is there any method an ordinary person differentiate whether a guru is from a genuine tradition? If someone later discovers that the guru or tradition is not authentic, what should he or she do in that case? (note: they are various types of newly created 'tibetan' tradition /sect since 21centuries, or some claimed they are a particular Buddisatva emanation or possed any Geshe degree within a few years time etc)
; what should a disciple do if he or she is not agreed to their Guru attitude etc ? ; what is the impact if an ordinary person receive the unauthetic initiation or teaching from a 'fake guru' or 'fake tradition '?

3. May I know if it is acceptable to split the Vajrasattva 100-syllable mantra into several sessions throughout the day in order to complete the minimum of 21 recitations daily?

Thank you

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Albert.

    1. In regards to your son, if you are reciting the prayers and mantras for him, visualise Manjushri on top of his head. As you recite, golden-yellow light emanates from his heart and washes over your son blessing him. At the end of the prayers, Manjushri dissolves into light and this dissolves into your son and blesses him even further. It would be good for you to teach Manjsuhri mantra to your son, so he can recite and encourage him to recite. But don’t force him, just encourage. He can help your son with his current learning issues.

    2. This is the reason why you need to check your guru is a qualified teacher before you accept them as your guru. You should not just rely on what that teacher tells you, but do your homework and research about that guru properly. For example, if he says he comes from a particular lineage or monastery, check with other lamas of that tradition or monastery. Sometimes there are people out there who claim to be teachers, but whose tradition/lineage is made up. Then when you research further, you will discover it’s not a genuine lineage/practice.

    For those people who have received practices from such teachers, as long as they haven’t been engaging in meditations that are higher in nature, such as tantric practices that move the energies in your body, etc. they should be okay. They should try to find a qualified guru to take as their teacher, explain to them the previous situation and if they have any specific advice, etc.

    3. For the 21 Vajrasattva mantras a day, unfortunately they cannot be broken up into multiple sessions. They all need to be completed in one session to have the specific benefit of stopping karma you accumulate up until that point in the day from multiplying. But recitation of the mantra, however many times in a session is still great, because it will help purify karma. However, the specific benefit of stopping karma from multiplying on that day, can only be achieved by doing the 21 mantras together.

Question asked by Jun

Hi dear pastor,
I would like to ask about Dorje Shugden practice. According to our great teacher His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche, we may use vajra and bell during our daily Dorje Shugden practice. I did follow but I encounter that there are 2 little black mole appear on my second part of my left hand side middle finger and beside my nail of my right hand side ring finger. May I know do it indicate anything or should I stop it using vajra and bell?
Thanks

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Jun,

    This is most likely due to not handling or using ritual items. If it is painful or you are worried, please seek professional medical advice from a doctor. In any case, you can slowly familarise yourself with using vajra and bell, don’t try too much at one time, because using ritual instruments is not something our hands are used to normally, so our body can have different reactions, such as sores, blisters, wrist sprain, etc. I hope this helps.

Question asked by David

Hello, Pastors and monks of Kechara. Good morning.

I have been practicing Buddhism for about 10 years. I try to cultivate Bodhicitta, I try to put myself in other people's shoes to understand them better. But sometimes my patience fails me. I see so many evil people in the world, who kill other people, who steal things, who are cruel to animals and other people. There are adults who are like parasites, always sucking. They make others sick, and some have huge egos, and they think they are right to act like this, without worrying about causing suffering to others. Whenever I go to practice, I cannot have compassion for these people, because many of them are hypocrites, complacent, in good health to work, but they are lazy and prefer to extort people who are more fragile. So, when I go to practice, I do not want anything good to happen to these people. So I feel like a hypocrite, because I feel unworthy of practicing Dharma because my compassion is so limited. Sometimes I avoid praying for someone’s sake when I think that person doesn’t deserve it. What advice can you give me about this?

Olá Pastores e monges de Kechara. Bom dia.

Sou um praticante do Budismo há uns 10 anos. Tento cultivar a Bodhicitta, tento me colocar no lugar das pessoas para compreendê-las melhor. Mas às vezes minha paciência falha . Vejo tantas pessoas malignas no mundo, que matam outras pessoas, que roubam coisas , que são cruéis com os animais e com outras pessoas. Há pessoas adultas que são como parasitas, sempre sugando. Elas adoecem os outros, e algumas têm um ego enorme, e acham que estão certas por agirem assim, sem se preocuparem em estar causando sogrimentos para os outros. Sempre que vou fazer minhas práticas, não consigo ter compaixão por essas pessoas, porque muitas delas são hipócritas, acomodadas, têm boa saúde para trabalhar, mas são preguiçosas e preferem extorquir pessoas que são mais frágeis. Então, quando vou praticar, não tenho vontade que algo de bom aconteça com essas pessoas. Então, sinto-me hipócrita, porque sinto-me indigno de praticar o Dharma porque minha compaixão é muito limitada. Às vezes evito fazer preces pelo bem de alguém quando julgo que essa pessoa não merece. Que conselhos você pode me dar sobre isso?

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear David,

    Thank you for your question. First, Bodhicitta itself cannot only be applied to some individuals and not others, because that is just compassion and loving-kindness, not Bodhicitta.

    When dealing with or thinking about difficult people, before we can generate compassion towards them, we have to do two things. The first is to reduce our negative feelings towards them. This is done through the practice of developing Equanimity between Persons.

    The Lamrim teachings are excellent in teaching you how to do this. Equanimity is the basis on which Bodhicitta is built, so it’s very important. You can find these teachings in the Higher Scope teachings of the Lamrim texts, that teach about Bodhicitta.

    Another thing that you can do, is before thinking about being compassionate towards them, put yourself in their shoes, try to understand that person whom you find negative. What you find will surprise you. They are the way they are due to their own life experiences, what was done to them, what they felt, how others reacted to them, etc. And this is all due to karma. Whether we suffer in the usual sense of being hurt, is due to karma. But those people are also suffering from their delusions, and this is due to karma and all it is doing is creating more karma for them to suffer in the future.

    The Lamrim teachings explan this very well and can be used in meditation. I would highly recommend studying the Lamrim teachings. If you have already done so previously, revisit the teachings again. It will help you a lot in this regard.

    I hope this helps.

Question asked by Frank

When I am doing my Trakze mantras can I visualize Trakze as the Garuda that he sits on? I feel closer to Trakze as the Garuda.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Frank,

    While Trake’s garuda is actually a part of him, when we are engaged in the particular practice of a deity, we need to visualise their full form. There is reason behind this, because the deity’s form itself when visualised has meaning and benefits that we receive when engaged in his practice. So although you feel closer to garuda, you should try to visualise the entire form, because you won’t get the proper benefits of the practice. And actually, as mentioned earlier the garuda is actually Trakze. Try to recognise that when you are doing your mantras, and it will become easier to visualise Trakze. You will have the same closeness. I hope this helps.

Question asked by Khang.

Hello Pastors!
I have a question about:
My morning daily practices:
1. Recite Boddhicitta prayers and chanting Diamond Sutra.
2. I will do short prayer to Lord Dorje Shugden compose by 5th DalaiLama before the dedication finally.
Now, I had invited one statue of Holy Mother Vajra Yogini and I had wish to do prayers and tea offering to her daily provide by Rinpoche’s websites here.
Therefore, where I can insert her practices into my morning daily prayers above.
Thank you so much

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Khang,

    You can insert the Tea Offering Prayer to Vajra Yogini once you have finished the Bodhicitta Prayer and the Diamond Sutra. So do it before you start the prayers to Dorje Shugden. This follow the standard traditional method of structuring prayers. Thank you.

Question asked by gyaleg Lama

what does it mean if i see a lion in my dream? upclose

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Gyaleg Lama,

    Usually dreams are just that, dreams. They do not necessarily have a specific indication or are not signs of anything. However according to dream interpretation which is more an analysis of our mind, lions symbolise courage and fearlessness, that you progressing well. However, if seeing the lion made you feel scared in your dream it can be indicative of facing a person, situation or emotion that is very powerful and will take a lot of effort to get away from the person’s negative influence, overcome the situation, or solve the emotional issue.

    I hope this helps.

Meet the Pastors

Serving the community. Tirelessly

Combining the responsibilities of the ordained and the appearance of a layperson, pastors are the connection between the sangha and the everyday practitioner. They are ordinary people who have taken an extraordinary step in dedicating their lives towards sharing the Buddhist tradition. As laypeople holding vows, pastors will make the Dharma accessible to more people, giving them guidance and sharing knowledge. The pastors are usually present at Kechara House and available for consultation anytime. For more information, contact house@kechara.com.

Pastor Chia (sangha to be)

As a pastor, Chia will dedicate his life to befitting others through spreading the works of Tsem Rinpoche and Dharma to many people, through the use of pujas, rituals, counseling and sharing of his knowledge.

Ordained as a Pastor in 2011, Chia Song Peng has had a rich and varied Dharma career. He has held a core position with the Kechara Paradise retail outlets, served as a personal attendant to Tsem Rinpoche, embarked on various pilgrimages and received initiations into higher yoga tantric practices. He is accomplished in many pujas and has a deep understanding of the Dharma.

As a pastor, Chia has dedicated his life to befitting others through spreading the works of Tsem Rinpoche and Dharma to many people, through the use of pujas, rituals, counseling and sharing of his knowledge.

When Chia first met Tsem Rinpoche, he was asked if he wanted to become a monk, however even though this was his aspiration he informed Tsem Rinpoche that he would do so at a later date. For Chia, as he has is already in the Dharma full-time, it would be best if he became ordained. Tsem Rinpoche has reminded Chia from time to time to work towards becoming a monk and he promised that he would do so in the future.

Kechara began from nothing to become a growing Dharma organisation with major projects such as Kechara Forest Retreat, so Chia thinks that this is the perfect time to become ordained as a monk. Recently Tsem Rinpoche asked Chia again if he would like to be ordained, this time Chia said yes.

Pastor Khong Jean Ai (sangha to be)

Jean Ai wishes to become a vessel that holds the teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa to benefit future generations, inspiring others to live by the Buddha’s teachings.

Jean Ai met His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche as a young child and through her parents' involvement with Kechara over the years, she has never known a life without His Eminence. Jean Ai was a regular volunteer of Tsem Ladrang during her childhood and teenage years. After graduating with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Warwick in the UK and working at the London Probation Service, she returned to Kuala Lumpur to join Tsem Ladrang's e-division. There she managed kechara.com, responsible for the weekly Kechara e-newsletter, including content generation and editing. Since then she has joined His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche’s writing team, responsible for executing Rinpoche’s personal instructions and managing his correspondence.

Having visited a nunnery in India in 2004, Jean Ai remembers noticing how happy and purposeful everyone was. She had a feeling of familiarity and the sight of the robes comforted her. Immediately, Jean Ai messaged her mother who told her to ask Rinpoche’s advice. Rinpoche told her to complete her secular education so that when she taught the Dharma her words would carry the credibility and weight of a university degree, something she completed with the motivation that some day she wanted to become a nun.

Through her ordination as a nun, Jean Ai wishes to become a vessel that holds the teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa to benefit future generations, inspiring others to live by the Buddha’s teachings. Through this she hopes to repay the kindness of her parents and her Guru. Above all she wants to abide in a state free of suffering, and she wants this for others as well.

Pastor Shin Tan (sangha to be)

For Shin, this is a great step forward to being fully committed to the cause of others and repaying others’ kindness through sharing the Dharma with others.

Before joining Kechara, Shin worked as a lecturer and provider of content and e-learning content solutions for various start-ups. Whilst providing training to educators teaching students in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) at various colleges, she was invited to attend a Dharma talk given by His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche at Kechara House. This event rekindled her interest in Tibetan Buddhism, as she recalled the joy of accompanying her parents to teachings as a teenager.

Joining Kechara Media & Publications in 2006 as a volunteer, Shin assumed a full time position there as a Marketing Executive, with the aim of making His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche’s teachings available to more people around the world. Shin is now a member of the Tsem Ladrang Team, who takes care of His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche’s secular matters, enabling Rinpoche to focus on teaching the holy Dharma.

Shin states that when she decided to join Kechara full time, she had already decided to be of some benefit to others and spend the rest of her life doing only that. Working closely with His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche, seeing his tireless effort in helping others and spreading the Buddhadharma through the Gaden tradition despite tremendous challenges has made her realise that the next logical step is to become ordained as she has the opportune conditions to study with her Guru. For Shin this is also a great step forward to being fully committed to the cause of others and repaying others’ kindness through sharing the Dharma with others.

Pastor Adeline Woon (sangha to be)

Since finding her spiritual home here in Kechara, Adeline has made dharma work her life’s mission and wishes to dedicate herself fully towards the benefit of others.

Adeline stumbled across His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche's blog towards the end of 2010 and has been following his blog and Facebook page ever since. Since graduating from Dharma Drum Buddhist College Taiwan with a Masters of Arts in Religious Studies in July 2012, she returned to Malaysia and joined Kechara as a Senior Education Executive. Adeline was attracted by His Eminence’s straightforwardness and impressed at Kechara's growth under his guidance. To Adeline, His Eminence is someone who walks the talk, keeps his promises and sincerely cares for others displaying an excellent example of guru devotion, qualities that she seeks to develop herself.

Since finding her spiritual home here in Kechara, Adeline has made dharma work her life’s mission. It was in May 2013 that she officially requested His Eminence for ordination as a nun to dedicate her life fully for the dharma. According to Adeline, become ordained means that she is being true to her calling to live according to the dharma and be of benefit to others.

This however can only be achieved by meeting and studying under her root Guru. Adeline has been fortunate enough to have met with hers - His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche.

Pastor Niral Patel (sangha to be)

It is Niral’s motivation for full ordination to better himself, learn the teachings of our lineage in order to preserve them for future generations. He wishes to benefit others, just as he has benefited and is still benefiting from Tsem Rinpoche’s explanation of the Dharma.

Niral was born and raised in the UK, having graduated with a BA in Anthropology, he was working as a Financial Administrator for a Serviced Apartment & Hotel company as well as a Management Services company before stumbling across His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche’s Youtube channel, entirelyby accident. It was through His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche’s teachings that he began to understand the importance of practicing the Dharma, in order to benefit himself and others around him.

Having been in contact with one of Tsem Rinpoche’s long time students in the UK, he was encouraged to visit Kechara in late 2012 for a 10 day visit. At the end of the visit Tsem Rinpoche requested Niral to come to work at Kechara, to which he agreed.

Niral moved to Malaysia in February 2013 to work as an education coordinator at Kechara House, assisting the Education Division in the creation and implementation of the new education syllabus, teaching teenagers during the Kechara Sunday Dharma School. Ever since meeting Tsem Rinpoche, he has always been encouraged by Tsem Rinpoche to do more Dharma work and strive to better himself. It is with that in mind, that Niral has requested monastic ordination.

It is Niral’s motivation for full ordination to better himself, learn the teachings of our lineage in order to preserve them for future generations. He wishes to benefit others, just as he has benefited and is still benefiting from Tsem Rinpoche’s explanation of the Dharma.

Pastor Tan Gim Lee (sangha to be)

Gim Lee’s main focus is to guide and help anyone who steps through Kechara’s doors through Dharma sharing, counselling, performing pujas and other Buddhist services. She wishes to repay Rinpoche’s kindness by spreading Lama Tsongkhapa’s holy teachings and inspiring others on the spiritual path.

She discovered Kechara by chance in 2006 and started to participate Kechara's activities almost immediately especially the retreat to collect 10 million Migtsema recitations. In April 2006, when Gim Lee met H.E. Tsem Rinpoche and first listened to his teachings, she wept uncontrollably. Though she could not understand it at the time, she had finally found her perfect teacher. She is especially touched by Tsem Rinpoche's compassionate method of teaching by setting his own examples.

Having joined as a staff of Kechara House responsible for housekeeping in 2009, Gim Lee is now one of Kechara House's Front Desk Managers predominantly based in the retreat centre in Bentong, Pahang. She also teaches the Sunday Dharma Class and moderates Dharma discussions on Tsem Rinpoche's blog chat.

The many teachings she has received from Tsem Rinpoche have changed her priorities in life. She found answers to her questions about the purpose of life, and she has realised that the way to overcome the sufferings of pain and anger is by following the path of compassion and wisdom as taught by Lord Buddha. These realisations have led to her request to be ordained as a Sangha member.

As pastor now, and later as a Buddhist nun, Gim Lee's main focus is to guide and help anyone who steps through Kechara's doors through Dharma sharing, counselling, performing pujas and other Buddhist services. She wishes to repay Rinpoche's kindness by spreading Lama Tsongkhapa's holy teachings and inspiring others on the spiritual path.

Pastor Loh Seng Piow (sangha to be)

Loh Seng Piow developed a strong wish to help Rinpoche in spreading the Dharma to the world. With that determination, Loh Seng Piow chose not to pursue his PhD degree in Cambridge University (for which he had been offered a place), resigned from his research job, and joined Tsem Rinpoche as full-time Dharma worker, and has never looked back since.

Back in 2001, Loh Seng Piow had no inkling of just how involved in Dharma he would become. As a Masters degree-holder in Engineering, Loh Seng Piow was working as a research engineer in Singapore when he met His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche. Rinpoche’s talk left a strong impression on him and after a few encounters with Rinpoche, Loh Seng Piow started developing websites for Rinpoche and Kechara.

Loh Seng Piow was trained in science, but soon realised that there were many questions that science could not answer. At the same time, he also felt that science and technology are not the solution to human problems, as humans are much better off compared to thousands years ago, yet the problems in this world are still the same, if not more, and we do not seem to be happier than our ancestors.

Loh Seng Piow soon realised that the Dharma is the ultimate solution to human problems, and that the methods used by His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche are very suitable for this modern era. Loh Seng Piow developed a strong wish to help Rinpoche in spreading the Dharma to the world. With that determination, Loh Seng Piow chose not to pursue his PhD degree in Cambridge University (for which he had been offered a place), resigned from his research job, and joined Tsem Rinpoche as full-time Dharma worker, and has never looked back since.

Meeting Rinpoche was a very refreshing experience for Loh Seng Piow, as he never knew Dharma could be so unconventional yet maintain its essence. As Rinpoche’s personal attendant, Loh Seng Piow has had many incredible moments with Rinpoche and considers himself extremely fortunate because he sees real Dharma in action, both on and off the throne. It challenges him to practice Dharma 24/7. In this way, Rinpoche has blown away his old and persistent way of thinking, which was very much focused on the outer rituals of Dharma.

Having seen that Tsem Rinpoche truly embodies what he teaches, Loh Seng Piow is convinced beyond doubt that it is possible to develop our minds to a higher state, and ultimately achieving enlightenment. All these factors have propelled Loh Seng Piow to take a step further in his Dharma career to become ordained as a pastor in order to be even more effective in sharing and disseminating the Dharma to benefit others.

Pastor Yek Yee

Naturally an introvert, Yek Yee has transformed what was once her weakness into her strength; making what was once impossible now eminently possible.

Independence was forced upon Kok Yek Yee from the tender age of nine, when she had to juggle between work and school to make ends meet. Always the introvert, Yek Yee had few friends and had difficulty expressing herself. So it was unexpected when she chose a career in journalism.

Yek Yee excelled as an award-winning reporter with Guang Ming Daily and Nanyang Siang Pau. Her articles garnered her a fanbase, and in writing, she found an outlet for the thoughts and feelings that she could not verbalise. However, despite her success, Yek Yee was not satisfied. Temporary happiness was not what she was looking for – success, money, relationships, or fame was not the key.

In her search for happiness, Yek Yee met H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, who told her “don’t retaliate with your speech, but use your power of writing to express yourself”. This led her to join Kechara Media & Publications as a writer; subsequently she was appointed Senior Editor as well as a Liaison to His Eminence.

Yek Yee now holds a core role in Kechara Care, giving advice, tours, counseling and teachings to whoever walks through their doors. Through courage and determination, she has transformed what was once her weakness into her strength; making what was once impossible now eminently possible.

As a Pastor, her patience and open-mindedness developed through her journey with Kechara will bring comfort and solace, and her new-found ability to nurture and teach others will bring hope to many.

Pastor Lanse Chiah

Having been a Pastor for a year, Lanse wishes to continue with her integral duties by renewing her vows again.

Lanse graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from Jinan University in Guangzhou, China in 1999 and became a part-time lecturer for several years, teaching western medicine in a Traditional Chinese medical college in Kuala Lumpur.

For a long time, Lanse remained an atheist, subconsciously searching for a spiritual guru as she sought answers to questions she harboured in her mind, questions that had led her into a state of depression during her time at university. As such, she would often read philosophical books in her search for answers.

Lanse first came to know of Kechara in 2007, through her friend of over 10 years, Pastor Yek Yee. She was surprised to see a complete transformation in Pastor Yek Yee, whom she had always known as a non-spiritual person. The first book by Kechara that Lanse chanced upon was the Chinese version of Be Greedy. Naturally, Lanse was skeptical at first, thus she read the book in an attempt to find mistakes with the philosophy. However, she couldn’t find any and was left impressed by how logical the explanations in the book were.

In March 2009, Lanse joined Kechara Media & Publications (KMP) part-time to carry out Chinese translation and help with transcription. The following year, she contemplated upon whether to pursue a full-time medical or a Dharma career, finally deciding on the latter. Lanse came to realise that, although both careers share the same motivation of easing people’s sufferings, she felt that her work in Dharma could lead to a greater contribution for the sake of all sentient beings in a deeper, spiritual sense.

Having been a Pastor for a year, Lanse wishes to continue with her integral duties by renewing her vows again.

Pastor Han Nee

It was not until she witnessed how Rinpoche brought peace and comfort to her dying mother, that she realised she also wanted to touch others with the Dharma.

Lim Han Nee, a mother of two, is a retired secondary school principal. She retired in December 2000 after a 30-year career in education. She obtained her Master’s Degree in Education at Leicester University in the UK, at the end of 2001.

After gaining her master’s degree, Han Nee considered further options of embarking on a doctorate in education or spending her years in retirement, travelling and visiting family. At the same time, she was also in search of her spiritual path. She had begun exploring Theravadan and Chinese Mahayana Buddhism for answers to questions she had.

In December 2004, Han Nee attended a teaching retreat on the topic of the Lamrim and White Tara held by His Eminence Gelek Rinpoche. As the retreat proceeded, she found her questions were being answered. Then in June 2005, Han Nee was introduced to Kechara by her sister, where she met her spiritual guide, His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche, who has recently told her that she must go all the way in the Dharma for the benefit of others.

Han Nee had been a school guidance counsellor for nearly twenty years. However, it was not until she witnessed how Rinpoche brought peace and comfort to her dying mother, that she realised she also wanted to touch others with the Dharma.

A member of Kechara’s Puja Team, who conduct sponsored pujas in Shabten Khang, Han Nee is also a member of the Education Division with the portfolio of Content Development. Apart from this, Han Nee is also a member of the weekly Kechara Chat Time team.

Pastor David Lai

In 2014, with a sincere wish to benefit others, David decided to be ordained as a Buddhist pastor to continue serving the spiritual needs of the organisation.

David Lai has been a student of His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche for over a decade now and was one of the founding members of Kechara. He joined Kechara as a full time staff in 2005 and has been working in various departments beginning with the Kechara Paradise outlets.

Right from the beginning, David had been advised by His Eminence to go into writing. Overcoming various hurdles, David finally began his literary career with the publication of his first book and autobiography, There’s No Way But Up in 2009. The book charts his spiritual journey from his childhood and culminates in the meeting with His Eminence.

The positive feedback from this book led him to write various other publications like Vajrayogini and Other Power Places in Nepal – a pilgrim’s guide of Nepal, Tales My Lama Told Me – a book on short stories and Conversations in Love – a book on relationships. These books continue to inspire and bring people onto the Dharma.

Besides writing, David has found his passion in sharing the Dharma since his earlier days working in the Kechara Paradise outlets. Over the years, David has received innumerable teachings from His Eminence, ranging from public teachings to personal instructions and advice. He is known to passionately share these teachings whenever he can and to whomever he meets. In 2014, with a sincere wish to benefit others, David decided to be ordained as a Buddhist pastor to continue serving the spiritual needs of the organisation.

Pastor Henry Ooi

After following Rinpoche as a Dharma student for all these years, learning and practicing the Dharma, Henry knows the importance of the pastors’ role in Kechara founded by Rinpoche. He wants to become a pastor to serve Rinpoche, to serve Kechara, and to serve the public.

Born in 1952 in Penang, Henry moved to Kuala Lumpur in search of work after he finished his Form Five studies in 1969. He worked at different types of jobs and it was when he was jobless in 1997/8 that he met His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche at the house of his cousin, Ruby (now Dato’ Ruby Khong), when Rinpoche was giving a dharma teaching. At that teaching Henry was awed by how Rinpoche taught Dharma with simple yet profound explanations.

With the kind guidance, teachings and Dharma practices by Rinpoche including instruction to engage in their first spiritual retreat, Henry and his wife Angel started a small business that soon became profitable. A few years later after Kechara House Buddhist Association was founded, Rinpoche started to enrol students as liaisons and that was when Henry and Dato’ Ruby offered themselves. Later more students were elected as liaisons that saw the birth of Liaisons Council. The Liaisons Council is now known as the Board of Directors of which Henry is one of its members.

Currently Henry is the Project Director, overseeing the construction and completion of projects in the Kechara Forest Retreat. Prior to this appointment he was the Head of Department in Kechara Paradise retail outlets of which he served for about ten years. He still remains as its company director as well as director for most of the companies within Kechara. He served one term as vice president of Kechara House Buddhist Association from 2012 to 2103.

After following Rinpoche as a Dharma student for all these years, learning and practicing the Dharma, Henry knows the importance of the pastors’ role in Kechara founded by Rinpoche. He wants to become a pastor to serve Rinpoche, to serve Kechara, and to serve the public. As he aspires to be a monk as he grows older, being a pastor of Kechara will pave the way for his aspiration. Henry believes that as one gets older in life, one should have already prepared for the imminent, death. And what a beautiful death it will be, to die in Kechara Forest Retreat in a monk’s robes. This is the kind of death that Henry wants. But before the imminent death happens, Henry wants to continue working in Kechara Forest Retreat, serving the community and whoever comes into it in whatever way he can. And when he is not physically anymore to serve others, he will request instructions from Rinpoche to enter into retreats in Kechara Forest Retreat.

Pastor Patsy Gooi

All that Patsy wants now is to spend the rest of her life doing dharma work, dharma practices and being of benefit to others.

Formerly a full time housewife with plenty of free time, Patsy had the great fortune to visit Gaden Monastery and meet H.E. Tsem Rinpoche almost twenty years ago. That one week stay in the monastery changed her view of life. Prior to that, she had no spiritual inclinations but meeting Rinpoche stirred something inside her, and she realised that there was more to life than just eating, sleeping, shopping and having fun. Rinpoche’s approach to dharma was logical and practical but most importantly, he stressed that we should always focus out and work towards benefitting others. Rinpoche made dharma easy to understand and his advice was and still is, to “change inwardly, not outwardly.”

In 2009, after years of practicing and applying what she had learned from Rinpoche’s teachings, Patsy decided to set up a Kechara retail outlet in Penang to share the dharma with others. She knew that Rinpoche’s teachings were very applicable to the people of our time and that his activities would benefit others just as they had benefited her. She also wanted to repay the kindness of her Guru who had constantly helped and guided her. Today, Kechara Paradise Penang is not just a dharma shop but also organises puja sessions, animal liberation and dharma talks.

In 2010, again with Rinpoche’s blessings, Patsy set up the Kechara Soup Kitchen Activity Center in Penang. Saddened to see the plight of the homeless and urban poor on the streets, Patsy decided to practice “compassion through action” as taught by Rinpoche in the most active way she knows. Today, together with her team of volunteers, Patsy feeds the homeless and urban poor four times a week and provides basic food provisions to many hardcore poor families on a monthly basis.

All that Patsy wants now is to spend the rest of her life doing dharma work and dharma practices, and that she may be of benefit to others.

Pastor Albert Ratchaga

In 2008, Albert Ratchaga began working as a part timer in Kechara Paradise, but as he learned more about the works of Rinpoche and Kechara, Rinpoche’s kindness and compassion touched him deeply. He realised that his work gave his life more meaning and decided to join Kechara full time.

Through his work as a sales executive, Albert was able learn more Dharma from Rinpoche's teachings and use this wisdom to assist those who entered his store to overcome their problems, thus improving their lives.

Albert soon developed a deep wish to follow in Rinpoche’s footsteps and in 2016 was ordained as a Pastor to continue benefitting and serving others.

    A heartfelt reunion gathering between Damian Aspinall a conservationist and a gorilla named Kwibi. Kwibi was brought up in a conservation park (Howletts Wild Animal Park) in England. Howletts Wild Animal Park is a 90-acre wildlife park and conservation charity. The park is a beautiful ancient parkland that is ideal for great days out in Kent with the entire family. It was opened in 1975, famous for housing over 390 animals. Kwibi gorilla was brought up in the park and was released back to nature to be free into the wild when he was 5 years old in the forest of Gabon, in West Africa. The park is a registered charity that funds overseas projects and animal reintroduction in an effort to help their species to survive from extinction. Damian went back to Gabon after 5 years later to see if Kwibi is alive. Sure enough They were reunited again happily . An emotional encounter between the conservationist and Kwibi gorilla as shown in the video. The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing.

    Beautiful paintings of White Tara draw by a talented artist. White Tara is worshipped primarily in Nepal and Tibet as a compassionate figure. Those beautiful paintings create a lasting emotional impact to those who see as it combines harmonious colours. Amazing art piece with dominated warm, and a contrasting mix of vibrant, saturated colours that create a specific mood.an exceptional artistic creation. Merely looking at these beautiful art paintings of White Tara is a blessing.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Stolen Crypto? How to Recover Lost Bitcoin Online: My Experience with Decentralized Codex Security
    I never believed the stories of recovered cryptocurrency. Like most, I thought that once Bitcoin was sent to the wrong address or stolen, it was gone forever—a permanent lesson in the risks of digital finance. That belief shattered when I lost 2.8 BTC due to a simple but devastating error: I copied a malicious wallet address from a compromised forum post. The transaction was confirmed in minutes, and my savings were gone.

    The feeling was one of sheer helplessness. Police reports went nowhere, and general cybersecurity firms simply shrugged. My hope was almost extinguished until I found a detailed case study about Decentralized Codex Security (DCS). With no other options, I contacted them at consult@decentralizedcodexsecurity.com.

    The process that followed was a masterclass in professional crypto recovery. Unlike the vague promises I’d encountered elsewhere, DCS provided a transparent, step-by-step plan from the outset. They assigned me a dedicated investigator who patiently explained their forensic blockchain tracing methodology. Their team at https://www.decentralizedcodexsecurity.com works with a level of expertise that feels like something out of a cyber-thriller.

    Using advanced on-chain analysis, they tracked my stolen funds through a labyrinth of wallets and across multiple blockchains. They identified patterns and exposed the thief’s attempts to launder the coins through mixing services. The critical moment came when their tracing revealed the funds had landed in an account on a KYC-compliant exchange. DCS immediately prepared a legally rigorous report, complete with irrefutable evidence of the theft’s path, and formally liaised with the exchange’s security team.

    The result? The assets were frozen. After complying with the exchange’s verification and legal procedures, 87% of my Bitcoin was successfully returned to my custody within 16 days. The fee for their service, taken from the recovered amount, was worth infinitely more than the 100% loss I was facing.

    If you are reading this, feeling the same cold dread I once did, understand this: Recovery is possible. It requires the right experts with the correct tools and legal partnerships. Do not give in to despair. Reach out to Decentralized Codex Security. They are the definitive solution for recovering lost or stolen Bitcoin online.

    Sincerely,

    [CHARLES LEVIN]

    I started playing lottery games 3 years ago and I have never won big sums. I went online to seek help on how I can win big in my lottery games and I saw some nice reviews about dr Herry who has help different people huge winners in their lottery games with his prayers. I gave it a try and I contacted DrHERRY, who told me how and what to do before I can become a big lottery winner and I accepted. He made special prayers for me at his temple and gave me the required numbers to play the lottery game and when I played it, I won a massive $235.4 million POWERBALL jackpot. I was so happy and I chose to receive my winnings in a one-time, lump-sum payment of $160,038,447.27 at Florida Lottery Headquarters in Tallahassee and the balance was given to the store that I bought & played the game from. I would love other people to seek help from him and he can be contacted through whatsapp +12023654871on through email address Drherry189@gmail.com

    My name is Rosemary Casarotti, I am very happy to share with you all how Spiritual Osmond Oria made me a lottery winner. I saw a couple of comments about him several years ago. I wondered how possible it is to win the lottery with spells. I eventually contacted him and did what he asked me to do, because I wanted to see how true this was for myself. I was out getting some groceries when he gave me the numbers and told me to go play, I quickly went ahead to purchase the lotto max ticket as instructed. These numbers were what I played, when I checked my ticket after the draw, I noticed I only matched three numbers, something told me to check the ticket again. That’s when I realized I was looking at the numbers from the wrong draw date. So I went back to find the results from the April 19th lotto max draw and that’s when I saw I matched all seven numbers. I was in total shock! Not truly believing I won the $1.2 billion jackpot, I quickly called my best friend for some assistance. “I asked him to check the numbers on (OLG.ca) and to read them to me. All the numbers still matched. It was unbelievable to us but we had to make absolutely sure I had the winning ticket. So we decided to meet up at a store near our home and triple check them using the in-store ticket checker. When Reality started to sink in, I was in shock so this is real i recommend Spiritual Osmond Oria reach him.

    My name is Rosemary Casarotti, I am very happy to share with you all how Spiritual Osmond Oria made me a lottery winner. I saw a couple of comments about him several years ago. I wondered how possible it is to win the lottery with spells. I eventually contacted him and did what he asked me to do, because I wanted to see how true this was for myself. I was out getting some groceries when he gave me the numbers and told me to go play, I quickly went ahead to purchase the lotto max ticket as instructed. These numbers were what I played, when I checked my ticket after the draw, I noticed I only matched three numbers, something told me to check the ticket again. That’s when I realized I was looking at the numbers from the wrong draw date. So I went back to find the results from the April 19th lotto max draw and that’s when I saw I matched all seven numbers. I was in total shock! Not truly believing I won the $1.2 billion jackpot, I quickly called my best friend for some assistance. “I asked him to check the numbers on (OLG.ca) and to read them to me. All the numbers still matched. It was unbelievable to us but we had to make absolutely sure I had the winning ticket. So we decided to meet up at a store near our home and triple check them using the in-store ticket checker. When Reality started to sink in, I was in shock so this is real i recommend Spiritual Osmond Oria reach him.

    Interesting read. Revisit again Benza Guru Drubtop a Bhutan blind, highly accomplished Tibetan Buddhist master who attained enlightenment, just by reciting the Vajra Guru mantra over 600 million times. After completing the million mantra in a dream-like state, he personally met the Lotus-Born Guru and received a prophecy. Known for his profound devotion to Padmasambhava, he demonstrated supernatural abilities, including making his prayer wheel drip nectar and foretelling his own death. He knew of a secret method to reverse obstacles which the Lotus-Born Guru had personally transmitted to him. Inspiring story of accomplished guru who attained siddhis and gain realization from recitation of mantra .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this inspiring read.

    Wow…..stunning Jade Buddha for Universal Peace. The Jade Buddha for Universal Peace sits 8 feet tall and weighs 4-and-a-half tons.It was discovered in 2000 in Canada, later carved by skilful Thai artisans. The four-tonne statue was consecrated by the H H Dalai Lama. The purpose of exhibiting the Jade Buddha around the world was to raise awareness of Buddhism and promote peace. Merely by looking at this beautiful Buddha is a blessing. It seems millions of people, who have seen the statue and have therefore have had strong imprints placed in their minds. Even merely by seeing the Jade Buddha, brings them extensive benefit. The Jade Buddha after touring around the world, was finally placed inside the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo,Victoria, Australia. Back in 2013, Malaysian were lucky to have a look at it, exhibited at Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

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.
    8 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

Our altar! It was colourful and neatly arranged because it's a way for us to accumulate merit through offerings. All the items on the altar are deeply symbolic, representing enlightened qualities that practitioners aspire to develop. Kechara Penang Study Group by Jacinta.
