Question asked by Omahhum

Hello, I just spilled some water offerings now I am not allowed to make offerings. What should I do to replace them? I was thinking about using plastic container with lids on them but I feel like that's downgrading the quality of my offering bowls. Because previously it was aluminum bowls so I don't think it would good to have plastic. I have no idea what to do, thank you.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Omahhum,

    I’m guessing that your not being allowed to make water offerings is due to a family member restricting your making of offerings or is it due to something else?

    Yes, using plastic containers with lids would be ‘downgrading’ because previously you were using bowls. However, it is best to still make offerings that not to make them at all. And offerings should always be made according to our ability or situation. So if you are restricted due to conditions at home, then it’s best to find ways around it to still make the offering. So using a plastic containers or even small water plastic or glass bottles is a good work around. As usual, be sure to change the water in the containers every day, just like you would change the water if in offering in a bowl.

    Alternatively, you could fill the bowls with rice, pearls or semi-precious stone or crystals if you have the means, then place the containers/plastic water bottle/glass water bottle on top of that. So you are still using the bowls and are still making water offerings (albeit in some sort of container). In that way, you haven’t ‘downgraded’ but you are still making water offerings. I hope this helps!

Question asked by Vuoi

Hi. During my sadhana, someone in my family asked me to do something, they needed help washing something like the plates or what not. But I didn't answer them because I didn't want to get disrupted during my sadhana.
Later on when I finished my sadhana, they were a bit mad that I didn't answer them and that they needed help. I lied about 'doing nothing' when in fact I was doing something very precious. I didn't know if I did the right thing. Anyways next question, in the Dorje Shugden daily practice it mentioned about having tormas and in the prayers there were, and I quote: "Actually arranged and mentally visualised" I dont have tormas physically offered to Dorje Shugden, should I still recite that part or should I skip it

  1. Reply by pastor

    Hi Vuoi,

    Another way to have handled the situation was to have told your family member afterwards that you were actually doing your sadhana or prayers. And that you had the intention of helping them after you had finished. In that way, it could have calmed them a little bit and would have probably made them feel less bad.

    In regards to Dorje Shugden torma offering prayer, this should only be done when you actually have a torma offering physically to offer. If are not offering torma physically, then you should skip the torma offering prayer. I hope this helps.

Question asked by Anonymous

Hello! I have 2 questions. Earlier this year I celebrated Vesak Day. In Kechara you guys celebrated it on May 15, but in America we are 12 hours behind. I celebrated it on May 15 but in Malaysian time it was already May 16. Which day was right? Will the merits still count? Will the karma still be multiplied? My second question is that how can we dispose Dharma related items. Like on a calender when it was wesak day, it had a Buddha Image on it. How can we throw it away without disrespecting it and collecting negative karma?

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Anonymous,

    In regards to the day that Wesak is celebrated, you celebrated on the correct day. It is according to the time period of your region when you celebrate. So since was celebrated on the 15th, then you celebrate on the 15th even though in another part of the world, it was already the 16. The merits of course still count and they are still multiplied. What matters more if how you spend the day, what you do to generate merit and the types of prayers that you make with faith on that day.

    In regards to disposing of Dharma items, there is something called “dissolution” to be done on those items before they are respectfully disposed of. This is where you invite the energies of the Three Jewels into yourself. This is generally done for Dharma texts, but can be done for images in those texts as well. You can find a quick video guide on how to do this here: https://www.kechara.com/how-to-dissolve-dharma-items/

    I hope this helps.

Question asked by Yan

Good afternoon pastors. The question I brought can help other practitioners with the same difficulty. A few years ago I received the Kurukulle Initiation for the first time. After that I received other times and I have even gone on a retreat under the supervision of a monk from our Sangha. It was a fruitful retreat and I had many experiences. However, when I look at Kurukulle's iconography there is something in my mind that prevents me from "plunging" into the practice. I explain: The fact that Kurukulle, and other Dakinis like Vajravarahi are standing on one leg and with the other raised, it causes me a "tiredness". I don't know why this happens. This causes me to like Kurukulle, but always with terrible hindrance (yes, it's terrible! and even authorized people in the Sangha, when I talk about it, they don't seem to understand what I mean!). Sometimes I think I would relax more if the Kurukulle we practiced were sitting. Please say what you think about it. Thanks.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Yan,

    Thank you for your question. This is the first time that I am hearing of such an incident, but let me try to explain as best as I can. Since Kurukulle is a wisdom dakini, she dances. It’s also a sign that she is an ‘active’ deity, in that her energies are magnetising. So, her iconography is very much linked to who she is as a deity and her ‘function’.

    That being said, when we engage in tantric practices we can go through certain uncomfortable experiences. Though, this usually only occurs in higher tantric practices. However, I think perhaps this is what is occurring for you in your practice. I’m guessing that your initiation allows you to self-generate as the deity.

    If Kurukulle’s iconography were different, then her path of practice itself and the function and benefits of the practice would also be different too. In this case, as you have her practice, you need to find a way to overcome this tiredness to advance. Tsem Rinpoche advised people in the past who had difficulties or problems with their tantric practices to engage in more purification practices for some time, say like 1-2 weeks. This can help solve the issue if done correctly, as these problems come about due to our negative karma, which kind of acts like a block to our practice and they can manifest in different ways. When I read your message, this was the first thing that came to mind.

    However, since you have received initiation, you should request your initiation master for advice on how to over come this properly. You have a spiritual connection with that master, through the initiation. Hence, according to the tantric code of conduct, you should always refer to him or her for advice and guidance according to your practice. I hope this helps. Thank you.

Question asked by Trang

What are Tsem Rinpoche's personal yidams

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Trang,

    H.E. Tsem Rinpoche had many meditational deities. To name just a few of them: Heruka, Vajra Yogini, Yamantaka, Chitamani Tara, Gyalwa Gyatso Chenrezig, Manjushri, Trakpo Sumtril, Medicine Buddha, Green Tara, etc., etc. The list is too long to provide here. I hope this helps.

Question asked by WLY

Hello pastor, I want to share you my interpretation of Sunyata after 8 months of practicing the Dharma so far. I was wondering if this is somewhat correct.

When someone says "Your ugly" etc. etc. We get offended by them because we put an imputed definition on just a combination of different sounds. 'Ugly' and language as a whole is just a bunch of sounds connected together to form meaning. But the sounds itself have no meaning, its empty. We put a meaning onto things but the things itself have no meaning.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear WLY,

    Thanks for your question. Yes, what you have understood is absolutely correct. The sound has not meaning, it is empty. However, what you have described is just one aspect of emptiness as actually, emptiness applies to literally everything from physical objects, non-tangible objects (like sounds) and even the thoughts in our minds.

    Emptiness is described in many different ways and can be learned in many different ways. The best and most succinct way is to follow the Lamrim teachings. Within teachings, learning about emptiness can be summed up into two sections:

    The first is the emptiness of the self.

    The second is the emptiness of phenomena (which means everything else, apart from the self. This includes sound too).

    Out of the two of these, it’s more important to learn about the emptiness of the self first. If you are able to understand that and then put it into practice in meditation to achieve actually insight into emptiness, then when it comes to the emptiness of phenomena, it will be easier.

    You should read the Lamrim teachings, which is a guided manner through the complete Buddhist practice. This is because the teachings on emptiness actually require a very firm grounding in other Dharma topics, otherwise the understanding will only be superficial and it will be fleating, it won’t last long in your mind.

    The Lamrim test we use is called Liberation in The Palm of Your Hand, its available here: https://www.vajrasecrets.com/lamrim-liberation-in-the-palm-of-your-hand

    I hope this helps.

Question asked by Yue

When we purify our karma it just purifies the karma, but how can we purify our habits/tendencies such as desire, attachments etc.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Yue,

    Habits/tendencies are overcome in a couple of ways. The first is to apply the antidote to that particular tendencies or habits. For example, when you are angry, you need to apply patience. When you are too attached, you remember impermanence, etc. That is on the first level.

    The second level is to learn more about Karma and the 12 Links of Dependent Origination and meditation on those topics.

    Then, we come to the development of bodhicitta and how to train as a bodhisattva. The ultimate level is to attack the very root of what causes us to have habits/tendencies. This is the realisation of emptiness.

    All of this that I have described is what the Lamrim teachings are all about. We have weekly classes on the Lamrim, the next in-take is next year in January. The classes are online. You can find more information here: https://www.kechara.com/learn/

    There is also a very good teaching by Tsem Rinpoche here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/tendencies.html. This would be a very good place to start.

Dear Pastor, Hello I have few questions. And thank you for taking the time to read and answer these 😀
A: What are the name mantras of Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche,Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche, and Kyabje Zong Rinpoche?
B: Who/What is Red Garuda and what is their Mantra?
C: Since Kalarupa is the protector of many practices, one of them specifically being Yamantaka. Does this mean that Kalarupa's practice require initiation?
D: When we get to the part where we say "Om Shapta Ah Hum" etc. During our daily practice, do we ring the bell?
E: My altar is really small due to my conditions but I manage to fit the 8 sensory offerings on 3 small bowls. I was wondering if it is okay. Now, to continue on the sensory offerings, the candle I offer is never lit, does it still count as light offering? And for my food offering I have a candy in a wrapper, does it still need to be replaced daily, even though it's still in the wrapper?
F: What is the Bön Religion/Belief? Is it qualified as a part of Buddhism or are not?

Thank you so much Pastor!! I hope you are doing well! OM AH GURU KIRTI DATSA SHASANAH DHARA VIRYA SIDDHI HUM HUM 💛

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Anonymous,

    A. Name mantras of lamas:

    Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche: OM AH GURU BENZADHARA METRI SHASANA DHARA KARMA SARWA SIDDHI HUNG HUNG

    Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche: OM AH GURU BENZADHARA SUMATI JANA SHASANA DHARA SAMUDRA SIDDHI HUNG HUNG

    Kyabje Zong Rinpoche: OM AH GURU BENZADHARA SUMATI BIRYA MUNI SHASANA DONZA SIDDHI HUNG HUNG

    B. Red Garuda is a deity that is not commonly practiced within our tradition. So, we do not have much information about the deity or the mantra. However, we have a thangka that shows another form of Garuda available here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/one-minute-story/a-powerful-healer-avalokiteshvara-simhananda. It doesn’t have much information, but the form shown in the thangka is known as Shabala Garuda.

    C. The full form of Kalarupa’s practice does require initiation. However, there are some prayers that you can do to Kalarupa without initiation. One is here together with the mantra that you can recite: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/prayers-and-sadhanas/sadhana-prayers.html#27. We also have an article about Kalarupa here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/kalarupa.html

    D. Yes, during your daily sadhana, when you recite Om Shapta Ah Hum, you ring the bell.

    E. For your altar, if you are using a real candle, then during your prayers it should be lit. However, you can use a small electric (battery powered) candle instead, and leave it on all the time. That what I do for my own altar. For the food offering, if you are using multiple wrapped candies, then it’s okay to leave them on the altar for a while. There is no need to replace them daily. But just be careful of insects or ants if they candies are very sweet!

    F. The Bon religion is actually the indigenous religion of Tibet before the introduction of Buddhism from India. It does not fall under Buddhism. It is a religion in an of itself.

    I hope all these answers help. Thank you!

Question asked by Sandra

Dear pastors, what happens when we stop sadhana? Does sadhana help lay people who don’t have real dharma practice or learning? I like to do them in the hope that at least I am collecting merit towards betterment. Many thanks 🙏🏻

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Sandra,

    For people without tantric initiation, sadhana creates a connection with the Buddhas for two main purposes, the generation of merit and purification of negative karma. In addition, depending on the practices we are doing, we can develop certain qualities necessary for our spiritual progress. Medicine Buddha grants healing for example, both physical and mental; Manjushri grants wisdom and intelligence; Chenrezig grants compassion and loving-kindness, etc.

    So, when we stop daily sadhana, we no longer receive these benefits or strengthening our connection with the Buddhas. Hence, we are once again at the mercy of the full force of our karma. So we will suffer and continue creating karma rather than transforming ourselves and creating merit, which is necessary for spiritual advancement.

    For those who have initiation, daily sadhana is actually a commitment. When they don’t do it, they break their vows. In doing so, not only do they not progress on their spiritual path, but also create a lot of negative karma as they break their promise. However, even in that case they can repair their vows and continue on if they wish.

    Daily sadhana can help everyone, even lay practitioners like you and me. It does not depend on having a lot of Dharma knowledhe or practice. Though having more knowledge will deepen your practice of daily sadhana and make it more effective. I hope this helps.

Question asked by Vuoi

Why doesnt Tsem Rinpoche use Lam Rim Chenmo by Tsongkahapa? Why does he use Pabongka Rinpoche's book.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Vuoi,

    Thank you for your question. There are 18 Lamrim texts and commentaries. These are all of differing length. Some are long, others short, some more scholarly, some more experiential, some for formal recitation during meditation, etc.

    Lama Tsongkhapa’s Lamrim is actually quite scholarly, as Lama Tsongkhapa backs up each point he makes with references to the great classic scriptures of ancient Indian. Lama Tsongkhapa’s Lamrim text therefore is quite long, so for the average modern lay practitioner is will take a long time to study, let alone put into practice. Most people won’t understand some of the nuances of the text either as they don’t have a background studing the ancient classics.

    On the other hand Pabongka Rinpoche’s text is shorter and is based on his own practice of the Lamrim. Hence, it is more of an experiential text rather than a scholarly one. Even though it is shorter, it includes all the points that Lama Tsongkhapa’s text does in terms of actually praciting it.

    That is why Tsem Rinpoche recommended Pabongka Rinpoche’s version to study and that is why it forms the core of Kechara’s educational programmes. That is not to say that Tsem Rinpoche did not recommend Lama Tsongkhapa’s Lamrim text, he did, but only to those who could spend more time and effort in studying, learning and practising compared to the average person who has secular commitments.

    Traditionally, even within the Monasteries, Lama Tsongkhapa’s text is not used for teaching purposes. If there is a teaching on the text, that is why it is considered such a grand affair and the teachings can last days if not a month or more. Usually, it is the shorter texts that are used. I hope this helps to answer your question. Thank you.

Question asked by GC

Dear pastors

How much time should a human sleep for? Did Rinpoche give any advise on cutting attachment to sleep? I heard Buddha Shakyamuni recommended 4 hours of sleep- Is this your understanding? How long do pastors of Kechara sleep for? 🌟✨💫💛

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear GC,

    There is no prescribed timing for the average lay person to sleep. It depends on how much sleep a person needs on an individual basis in terms of their physical and mental needs. Obviously, if we sleep too little we will be tired and if we sleep too much, we waste our time which could be spent in our spiritual development or doing our daily activities.

    For those who have dedicated their lives for spiritual transformation and meditation such as those who are monks and nuns, it is said that they should train themselves to sleep less, so that they can spend their time on spiritual pursuits. This however is not easy, and takes time to develop through various practices.

    In regards to ourselves, we should sleep enough so that we are rested and can function properly the next day, but we should not oversleep. I hope this helps.

Question asked by Anonymous

How can I make my statues and pictures feel real? Like as if the Buddhas are really there.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Anonymous,

    Thanks for your question. I understand what you mean. Buddha images and statues feel more alive, the more they are blessed, and due to our own prolonged daily practice of invoking them and requesting them to reside in our images. This can be done a number of ways:

    1. Having your image blessed. You can take them to your nearest Dharma centre and request that any monk/nun/Buddhist Pastor to bless the image for you. This is a service that we actually offer here in Kechara also. If you don’t have the means of doing so, you can actually bless the image yourself: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/prayers-and-sadhanas/how-to-bless-buddha-images-yourself.html

    2. Every day, at the end of your daily sadhana before your dedication prayers, request the Buddhas to reside in your image. When you visualise the deities, then at this point, think that they dissolve into the image and now they reside it. Through the force of your own effort in practice, the Buddhas will come to reside in your image, and so they will feel more “alive” and “real”.

    I hope that helps. Thanks.

Question asked by MARIO

NAMO
I feel confident and encouraged in asking for more.

Insofar I have received tremendous charity from Tsem Rinpoche. This is kindness of the Lama almost impossible to be repaid.

If I'm wrong due my ignorance, if it's completely impossible to repay,
Please let me know, otherwise I will search for an answer on my own.

In gratitude,
MARIO

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Mario,

    The kindness shown by our Guru can indeed be repaid. The way we repay his/her kindness in showing us the Dharma, teaching us and guiding us is by transforming our minds and ultimately reaching higher states on our spiritual journey. We do this by learning more, but not just simply learning. We need to implement the teachings in our lives so that we become better people, and as we become better people then we progress on our spiritual path. This is the main way to repay our Guru’s kindness.

    The second way is to support the Guru’s temple or organisation according to your means. That way the Guru’s work is preserved and spread, so that others also looking for the help are benefited by the Guru’s works. You can read more about the Kechara organisation here: https://www.kechara.com/

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.

    Tibetan pujas, a devotional ritual, offers numerous benefits, including healing, protection, wealth, wisdom, and spiritual growth. It fosters a deeper connection with the divine, promotes inner peace, and can help purify the environment and can lead to a closer connection with enlightenment. They are a way to purify negative karma, remove obstacles, and accumulate merit. Pujas can also help with mental and emotional well-being, reducing stress, anxiety, and pain. Ultimately, they are a powerful tool for spiritual development and can lead to a closer connection with enlightenment. Puja can be a powerful tool for fostering a sense of gratitude and devotion. Reading this clear and simple explanation in this article will help more and more people to understand better.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    In Tibetan Buddhism, refuge and the guru are closely intertwined. Taking refuge in the three jewels expresses the most fundamental connection to Buddhism. Having confronted the limitations of samsara, we are ready for a change. Taking refuge involves seeking protection and guidance from the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, with the guru often seen as a living embodiment of these three jewels. The guru’s role is to guide practitioners towards enlightenment by pointing them to the path and helping them overcome obstacles. Refuge is not merely a symbolic act but a deep commitment to transforming one’s mind and life by relying on these sources of inspiration and guidance. Taking refuge doesn’t protect us from problems such as illness, accidents, and other difficulties. Rather, it provides us with knowledge to transform obstacles into opportunities. We learn how to relate to difficulties in a new way, and this protects us from confusion and despair. Reading again to understand better .

    Reading through this blog of what life was like for Pastor Jean Ai, during lockdown. The Movement Control Order which began in 2020 reminded me of how I went through during the lock down. Staying alone by myself as the rest of my family member outstation in KL. Not easy after all everything as such as getting foods etc. I do my shopping twice a week having doing all the necessary disinfection and so on. What I did at home during the lock down and how I spent my time, days indeed not easy Do reading, watching videos at Tsem Rinpoche blog , learning and practicing and in-fact did full prostration and mantras recitation daily . It had changed my life since then and had completed 100k . Through a Dharma brother I managed to get hold of some mantras for rolling too. Interesting,…..watching Pastor Jean Ai’s video at how she interact with friends that’s awesome.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Jean Ai for this interesting sharing.

    n Tibetan Buddhism, prostrations are a way to express deep respect and devotion to the Three Jewels for the Buddha, his teachings (Dharma), and the spiritual community (Sangha). Prostration is a physical act of deep reverence or worship, which offers a range of benefits across spiritual, physical, and mental domains. It can be a form of prayer, a means of expressing devotion. It is a deeply symbolic act that purifies negative actions, accumulates merit, and cultivates humility and compassion. It can be a form of prayer, a means of expressing devotion. This act is believed to be beneficial for practitioners, cultivating humility, eliminating negative thoughts, and accumulating positive karma which is believed to lead to positive future outcomes and spiritual progress. Whether we believe in karma or not, our negative karma increases without purification. Hence its important , to purify our negative karma through the Vajrasattva and prostrations practice. It also seen as a way to purify our negative mind, emotions and thought patterns, such as pride and ego if we do it well . Thus, the practice of purification is one of the most important solutions to our problems and is extremely necessary for everyone of us. It is more important to put our everyday life’s effort into the practice of purification to attain spiritual realization.
    The Vajrasattva purification practice, which is more powerful than negative karma. With this practice can prevent us from experiencing the problems that negative karma would otherwise bring us. Reciting the Vajrasattva mantra before going to bed to prevent whatever negative karma we have created that day from multiplying it is an incredibly powerful method that it makes our life very light and easy and keeps us happy and peaceful in our inner life.
    Both Vajrasattva practice and prostrations done with good visualizations are indeed very beneficial for practitioners.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing and teachings .

    Du Fu (712-770 AD), also known as Tu Fu, was a prominent Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty, often considered one of the greatest alongside Li Bai. He was a poet-historian and a poet-sage, known for his realistic depictions of human suffering and reflections on the troubled times of his era. His poems, reflecting his personal experiences and the political instability of the time, have had a lasting impact on both Chinese and Japanese literary traditions.
    Interesting read.

    H H Kyabje Pabongka Dechen Nyingpo is by far one of the most popular and influential Gelug religious figures of the 20th Century. One of Phabongkha’s most important aristocratic students, Lhalu Lhacham Yangdzom Tsering relationship to her teacher and his lineage teachings goes along way .She is famously remembered for is her unwavering devotion towards her guru, HH Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche. Yangdzom Tsering’s Shatra family were ancient sponsors and students of the Gelug tradition and had apparently been patrons of Tsongkhapa the founder of the Gelug school. The life stories of Lady Lhalu Lhacham Yangdzom as mentioned by Joona Repo is indeed inspiring. How her life struggles with tragedies, and her devotion to dorje Shugden and the Gelug tradition throughout her life.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing of an inspiring lady.

    Looking at these pictures remained me of my first pilgrimage to Wu Tai San. With the blessings of our guru, we able to visit Wu Tai San a significant Buddhist pilgrimage site . In fact it never did come to my mind that I am fortunate given a chance to go as I am still very new then. Upon hearing about the pilgrimage I got myself register without much thought. The history and stories of Wu Tai San has inspired me to go there. Interesting the Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong of China are closely connected to WuTai San. Wu Tai San located in Shanxi Province, China renowned as the home of Lord Manjushri the bodhisattva of wisdom, with different emanations of the bodhisattva residing on each of the five peaks. The area is dotted with over 50 temples and monasteries, many of which are historical and architecturally significant. Those temples built over 7 dynasties housing numerous Buddhist relics. Wutai Shan also offers stunning scenery, including snow-capped peaks, forests, and streams. Wu Tai San is one of the four Sacred Buddhist mountains of China, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wutai Shan was known to be a mystical and sacred site inhabited by divine spirits, accompanied by unusual events, such as miraculous light appearances at night.
    We visited all the Holy sites, making offerings and doing prayers at each sites. We even have the opportunity to collect holy stones for future statue insertion or to keep on our altars. Times flies as our pilgrimage ended with so many stories to share with the rest.
    Thank you Rinpoche and writes team sharing those pictures.

    Padmasambhava, the Lotus-born Guru, also known as Guru Rinpoche is a legendary tantric Buddhist master who is widely revered in Tibetan Buddhism. He is seen as the second Buddha particularly within the Nyingma .He was a legendary Indian Buddhist mystic credited with introducing Vajrayana Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century. As found in Buddhist scriptures Padmasambhava birth is often associated with legends and prophecies. Interesting…… Padmasambhava is depicted with eight manifestations, each reflecting a different aspect of his miraculous activities. Interesting article .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Milarepa Cave, situated high in the Himalayan mountain of Tibet, a sacred cave beckons pilgrims and spiritual seekers from across the globe. Milarepa Cave, a site of profound significance in Tibetan Buddhism, is merely a geological wonder. This sacred cave is also a living testament to the power of meditation and devotion. Its where an 11th-century yogi and poet who spent transformative years in solitary practice. Milarepa Cave graces Tibet’s rugged yet stunning landscapes, a region renowned for its deep spiritual heritage and breath-taking natural beauty. The cave’s importance is inseparable from a revered figure and the enduring legacy of Jetsun Milarepa a revered yogi and poet in Tibetan Buddhism. Milarepa Cave stands not just as a geological formation but as a powerful symbol of spiritual transformation and the enduring strength of Tibetan Buddhism. Reading this interesting cave had me Google for more information about this sacred cave. Numerous stories and legends surround Milarepa’s time in the cave, enhancing its mystical aura.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting post.

    I wanted to take a moment to share a recent experience with you regarding my Instagram account. Unfortunately, my account was hacked, which was both frustrating and disappointing. Losing access to something that plays a significant role in my business and personal connections was incredibly stressful.What made the situation even more challenging was discovering that Meta does not have a dedicated support team to assist users facing account compromises. With so many people experiencing this issue daily, it’s alarming that their recovery process is not more accessible or efficient.After numerous failed attempts to recover my account through Meta’s standard procedures, I was fortunate enough to get in touch with a member of the Meta recovery department, @Rothsteincode on X (formerly Twitter), and via email at rothsteincode@gmail.com Their expertise and guidance were invaluable, and thanks to their assistance, I was able to regain full access to my account.
    While I am incredibly grateful for their help, this experience has highlighted a major issue—Meta needs to implement better security measures and provide more reliable support for users dealing with these kinds of problems. The lack of direct customer support is unacceptable, considering how vital social media platforms have become for businesses and individuals alike.I wanted to share this with you in case you or anyone you know ever faces a similar issue. If you ever find yourself in this unfortunate situation, I highly recommend reaching out to @Rothsteincode for assistance. Hopefully, Meta will take action to improve their security policies and customer service in the near future.Thank you for taking the time to read this. Stay safe online, and let’s continue to support each other in this digital space.

    A great history of a great yogi which I do enjoy reading , reading over it again and again. Jetsun Milarepa was a famous Tibetan siddha, known as a murderer when he was a young man. Who later turning to Buddhism and becoming a highly accomplished Buddhist disciple. Generally considered as one of Tibet’s most famous yogis and spiritual poets, whose teachings are known among several schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Milarepa’s story is one of struggle, anguish, resolve, and triumph all of which make him recognizably. Practicing these teachings for many years in isolated mountain retreats in caves such as caves hidden deep in the mountains of Tsum Valley. That’s where Milarepa attained enlightenment and gained fame for his incredible perseverance in practice and for his spontaneous songs of realisation. Milarepa is said to be the first to achieve the state of Vajradhara in one lifetime. That’s incredible.
    Thank you Rinpoche for great sharing interesting read

    H.H Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was a Gelug Lama, a sharp analyst, master of philosophical debate and a Tantric practitioner. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was a disciple of the third Trijang Rinpoche, junior tutor of the 14th Dalai Lama. Rinpoche was known as a strong, detached and wrathful lama having impeccable knowledge of all rituals, art and science. Thousands of Westerners have received and benefited from his teachings both in the West and in India and gave many empowerments and teachings as well. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was renowned for his many actions of powerful magic . We are fortunate and blessed listening to the powerful voice of Kyabje Zong Rinpoche’s precious teachings as in this blog.
    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
