Question asked by Luke

Hi pastors
Before finding Rinpoche many years ago now I was learning in the Mahayana school and was a Pure land Buddhist, the Vajrayana also is apart of Mahayana as far as I know.

I'm just curious as I live remotely I'll probably never receive any tantric Initiation and will be doing Lama Tsongkhpas practice till the day I die, in the practice of Dorje shugden, palden lhamo and Lama Tsongkhpa is there any chance that these practices will take me to a pure land where one can escape the never ending nightmare of Samsara?

In Chinese Buddhism there is the Pure land of Amitabha where people make a simple vow to be reborn there and will escape samsara and learn dharma there, does Lama Tsongkhpas practice have guarantee like that ?

It seems only Vajrayogini Initiation can take a person out of Samsara.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Luke,

    Yes, many of the Buddhas have purelands. When you practice those deities strongly to create a connection with them, practice the Dharma to transform your mind and also generate merit, you can take rebirth there.

    Lama Tsongkhapa’s practice is a great example. It includes a practice known as Powa (Mind Transference). This is where, through practice, the consciousness is guided to take rebirth in a pure land. While almost all Powa practices require tantric initiation. Lama Tsongkhapa’s Powa does not require initiation and can be practiced by everyone. This practice allows you to take rebirth in Gaden Heaven (also known as Tushita). The current ruler of Gaden Heaven is the Buddha Maitreya.

    The following video teachings may be of interest to you:

    A Brief Explanation of Tantra and Pure Lands https://youtu.be/hFxKXLKdQoU

    Yes! We Can Go To Pure Land While Still Having Negative Karma
    https://youtu.be/v6nRFYNF0MA

    The practice of any Buddha can take us out of samsara. But what makes higher tantric practices such as Vajra Yogini special is that this can be achieved in this very lifetime. Other practices, depending on how much effort you put in to your practice and transformation take longer, meaning it can take many lifetimes. However, this is also the case with Vajra Yogini practice. If you don’t put in the practice and mind transformation, it is not guaranteed that you will transcend samsara in one lifetime.

    Also, in the case of being reborn in a pureland. That itself does not mean you are out of samsara either. Pure lands are manifested by the enlightened beings within samsara. They are not outside of samsara. Even if you get to a pure land, you have to receive teachings and then actually put them into practice. While a pureland is special however is that everything is geared towards the practice of the Dharma. There are no distractions, and we can spend 100% of our time and ability to putting the teachings into practice and transforming our mind. I hope that helps.

Question asked by Lenny

Hello Pastors

Tsem Tulku gave Dorje Shugden as a YIDAM practice to some of his students so claims Pastor David Lai.

He stated this in his Youtube video of August 10, 2021 titled, "Once Upon A Time With Rinpoche – Rinpoche's Personal Yidam Pt 6".

Here is the link to that video and please go to the 11:00 minute mark. It is roughly 45 seconds long.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSw_LcHw4S0

Since Tsem Tulku gave out Dorje Shugden as a Yidam to some of his students can we now consider Dorje Shugden a YIDAM?

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Lenny,

    Thank you for your question. I have clarified this matter with Pastor David. H.E. Tsem Rinpoche assigned Dorje Shugden to be the main practice of some students. This is because Dharma Protector practice was more suited for them, for various reasons. That’s being said the prayers and practice of Dorje Shugden is still as a Dharma Protector. There is no existing tradition of practising Dorje Shugden as a yidam, or meditational deity.

    Hence, the reason why Dorje Shugden was considered to be their ‘yidam’ was because he was their main practice. There are some cases where a lama will assign a Dharma Protector as a students primary practice. These practices however will not include the elements of yidam (meditational deity) practice, because they are Dharma Protectors. I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

Question asked by John

Please tell me what is meant by walking meditation ?

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear John,

    Thank you for your question. There are many types of meditation. Most people may not know what meditation is. Many think that is it ‘clearing the mind’ or ‘experiencing nothing’. This is not the case according to Buddhist practice. In Buddhist practice, you actually focus on something during meditation. This can range from a physical experience, a thought or idea, a visualisation of the Buddhas, or the sounds of mantras, etc.

    The most common form of meditation is breathing meditation. During this we sit down in meditation posture and focus on the sensation of breathing in and out. We focus on that sensation, without letting our minds wander about. Here is a great article about Mindfulness Meditation which focuses on breathing. It also has 100 guided sessions that you can follow along: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/inspiration-worthy-words/live-your-best-life-100-days-of-mindful-meditation.html

    Walking meditation is doing the same thing, focusing on a particular thing but while moving instead of sitting down in full meditation posture. It’s done by focusing on breathing in and out while you walk slowly. Alternatively, you focus on the physical sensation of walking, eg. how your body feels as you walk slowly or the feeling of touching the ground with your bare feet. I hope this short explanation helps. A full explanation will be forthcoming in a book we which will be released later this year, all about various forms of meditation. Please do keep an eye out for it. Thank you.

Question asked by Andreas NS

Good evening Pastors of Kechara. I want to ask something about how I must act in some situation in my life. My Birth Buddha is Chenrezig and since I was little kid I have tendency to help people until the level some people "take advantage of me". That's why my mother nurtured me to be stoic and said a big "NO" for people like that and that was I did before I met the Dharma.

But now I met the Dharma, sometimes I feel guilty to say big "NO" to some people. My "NO" answer have tendency to be "wrathful" and there is head of department in my office that like to "take advantage" to young lecturers like me to do his jobs and he will take all credits. Some day ago he asked me for help and I say big "NO" even I say it with a bit anger because some seniors (this seniors urgently need more of my help because they infected with Covid and their job almost on deadline) asking me to help them until I stay on late for days and almost miss my daily sadhana.

So how must I act toward this head of department? Shall I act stoic or wrathful as always but pray for his happiness? Or must I help him sometimes because he may be need my help? But how if my help is only add his delusions in Samsara?

Thank you very much Pastors and good evening.

    Dear Andreas NS,

    A big part of Dharma practice is learning how to react in certain situations. Generally speaking, Dharma practitioners help as much as possible. However, in this case is doesn’t mean that you give in to others people’s demands and become like a door mat. That is not what Buddhist practice is about.

    Sometimes, we have to decline helping other people because they are taking advantage of us. But this must be done in a polite manner. It is not wrathful nor is it stoic. When you decline you should calmly express your opinion and why are cannot help at that moment. In addition, if you really cannot help that person how they need help and they won’t accept any other way of you helping them, then in Buddhism we are taught to pray for that person. Dedicate merits from your practice to that person so that they learn not to use people like that, that they develop compassion towards the people that they are using instead. In this manner, we also develop compassion for that person.

    When we are in that situation, we may be overcome with anger or other emotions. The Dharma teaches us to be patient and compassionate towards others, but this doesn’t mean letting them use us. By praying for them, you are helping them because they are blessed by the enlightened beings and at the same time it also helps you to develop compassion for them, and so helps get rid of any negative emotion you may be feeling towards them. I hope this helps. Thank you.

Question asked by Le Nhat Khang

Tashi Delek Pastor!
I hope you are well.
I have some question about Ganapati practice.
Do I can prayer and offer water or milk on Ganapati's body, speech and mind instead Dzambhala?
Because I have been prayer and practice to Ganapati for while now following with Tsem Rinpoche's prayer to Ganapati. Therefore, I wish I can do daily Ganapati chujin together with Rinpoche's prayers.
It same when we practice Dzambhala Water offering.
I don't know it's OK or not.
Thank you so much.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Le Nhat Khang,

    Thank you for your question. We are very happy to read that you are making daily prayers to Ganapati. His practice is very beneficial and helpful.

    In regards to the water offering to Dzambala, which is offered physically over his statue during the practice, within our tradition this is unique to his practice. The same sort of ritual is not used for other deities.

    Even though it is not offered physically over Ganapati, you can by all means offer bowls of milk and water in front of your Ganapati image. This will actually have the same benefits because they are physical offerings to Ganapati. It’s just that you don’t offer it physically over the statue. I hope this helps. Thank you.

Question asked by Daniel

Hello,

Thank you for all your beautiful work. To the whole team, behind and in front of the scenes. So grateful for all the resources and information.

My question is: if I want to draw a Lama, who’s personal Yidam is the supreme Vajrayogini, how do I depict this? I see that in Rinpoches iconography he has a khatvanga and his personal Yidam was Lord Heruka. Would it be the same holy item or something else?

I would also like to know, how to show on the drawing, that the Lama has a lot of joyful effort and Bodhichitta and Wisdom and skillful means.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and answer my question🙏🙇‍♂️

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Daniel,

    Thank you for your question and encouragement. In general, if a Lama doesn’t have specific iconography, they are depicted in the same manner within our tradition. They sit in full-lotus posture, wearing monastic robes (if they were a monk) and the golden pandit’s hat particular to our tradition.

    Their right hand is in the Dharma teaching mudra, and their left hand rests in their lap holding a long-life vase filled with nectar. If they are still alive they sit on a throne. If they have passed on, they sit on a lotus.

    It also optional to depict them holding the stem of a lotus between the thumb and forefinger of their right hand. The lotus blooms at the level of their right shoulder. On top of the lotus is a Dharma text. And on top of that is a flaming wisdom sword.

    If our lama practiced Tantra they are also depicted with a khatvanga staff resting on their left shoulder. For both Vajrayogini and Heruka practitioners this is quite important. Both Vajrayogini and Heruka hold khatvanga staffs. In the case of Vajrayogini’s iconography, the staff actually represents Heruka. In fact her practice is a condensed form of Heruka’s practice and she is in fact Heruka’s consort.

    In short, there is no difference in how a Lama is depicted if they practiced Heruka or Vajrayogini. In fact, even if they practiced other tantric systems, this is the way of depicting them correctly.

    Bodhicitta, wisdom, joyful effort and skilful means are all depicted within such iconography of a lama. In fact, not only these, but also all other enlightened qualities are covered as well.

    Here is the link to a depiction of Tsem Rinpoche which shows the iconography: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/tsemrinpochethangka.jpg

    Please note that this thangka was painted before Rinpoche passed into Parinirvana, so Rinpoche is depicted on a throne rather than a lotus. I hope this helps.

Question asked by Maxime

Dear Pastor, as a Dharma practitionner i never eat meat.

Also around my house a cat is wandering and starving for food. So by compassion, I served this cat some cat food (ready-to-eat dish) from supermaket with meat in it, and afterwise fell very guilty and sorry for the sentient beings (beef chicken salmon) that were killed in order to make this Friskies cat food.

I mean they were not especially killed for this but I do care so much about other sentient beings lifes, but the cat was starving. Now this cat comes back every day and i fed and petted him.

Did I broke a samaya ?
Should I continue to feed this cat ? What should I do now ? i'm a bit confused…

Thank you for your answer.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Maxime,

    You have asked a very good question. First, let me thank you for practicing compassion, first to the cat who needed your help and then for feeling sorry for the sentient beings that died to make the cat food.

    In regards to samaya, there is nothing to worry about. You have not broken anything. You would only have broken samaya if you have taken a vow to be vegetarian and then ate meat yourself. If you would like to take the Vegetarian Vow, you can email Care@Kechara.com and ask to arrange one of the Pastors to give you the vow. This doesn’t have to be done in person, it can also be done online. This is depending on how serious you are in regards to being vegetarian.

    In regards to the cat, unfortunately the rebirth it has taken means that it needs to eat meat. Cats are a type of animal that cannot survive on a vegetarian diet, they can get quite ill and even die if they don’t eat meat, due to how their bodies function. So, by feeding the cat, you really helped it. It was an act of compassion. If the cat keeps coming back and is in a similar state, it compassionate to continue.

    Unfortunately, the food contains meat. There are some things that can you do. The first is to recite mantras and blow on the food before giving it to the cat. Through the power of the mantras, the mindstreams of the animals that died to make the food are blessed. Wherever they have taken rebirth, the Buddhas will bless them. Second, when the cat approaches you, you should recite mantras and blow on the cat to bless it also. The mantra should be recited out loud, so the cat can hear it. But gently.

    Tsem Rinpoche used to bless animals like this all the time. There were three common mantras Rinpoche used for this. I have provided them below:

    Medicine Buddha Mantra:
    TAYATHA OM BEKANZE BEKANZE MAHA BEKANZE BEKANZE RANDZA SAMUGATHE SOHA

    Manjushri Mantra:
    OM AH RA BA TSA NA DHI

    Dorje Shugden Mantra:
    OM BENZA WIKI BITANA SOHA

    Either of these will be very good. I hope this helps.

Question asked by Joseph

Dear Pastor, thank you for this wonderful prayer to Saraswati composed by the incomparable Lama Tsongkhapa. I recently read that Venerable Tsongkhapa recited her mantra when he was young either 50 million times or 100 million times. At the end of the prayer the mantra is listed as OM SARASIDDHI HRING HRING. Is that the mantra that was recited by Je Tsongkhapa? And if so, I have seen translations of the Sanskrit phrase ‘all the attainments’ as either sarasiddhi or sarwa siddhi. Wondering if they are interchangeable here or is the emphasis placed on Sara because it’s a praise to Saraswati? Thank you for your time. Happy new year; wishing you health happiness and endless blessings. Warmly, Joseph Om vajra wiki witrana soha 🙏💎

  1. Reply by pastor

    Hello Joseph,

    Thank you for your question. It’s wonderful that you are interested in Saraswati. The words in the mantra are not interchangeable according to lineage. The mantra as per what you found is the mantra that was recited by Lama Tsongkhapa. The pronunciation of the mantra should be as per the spelling, and is not interchangeable. Together with the praise written by Lama Tsongkhapa, it’s recitation is very powerful.

    There are other forms of Saraswati with Tibetan Buddhism, even within the Gelug tradition. Each of these forms will have their own mantra and practice. The form prevalent within the Gelug tradition however is the white, two-armed form as this is the form and mantra that Lama Tsongkhapa relied upon. I hope this helps. Thank you.

Question asked by Jason

If I am trying to engage jn dharma practice for the benefit of my parents which bodhisattva would be better? White tara, ushnisha Vijaya, amitayus or medicine buddha?

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Jason,

    Thank you for your question. I am so happy to read that you wish to benefit your parents through Dharma practice. Either White Tara, Ushnisha Vijaya, Amitayus and Medicine Buddha as are all tremendously beneficial for healing and long life. You can choose to practice whichever of these that you like or that your parents have an attraction towards.

    You should get an image of the deity, whether a statue, picture, tsa-tsa, thangka, etc. Set up an altar, with at least 8 water offering bowls. Offer water daily and engage in the prayers and mantras of the deity. Once you have finished, dedicate the merits that you generate to your parents. This will be excellent. You can offer other items, such as incense, food, lights, etc, if you wish. On the parent’s birthday, make extra effort to offer more items to the Buddhas to generate merit and dedicate for their long life, health, peace of mind, etc. I hope this helps.

Question asked by Anonymous.

Hello pastors can a Mahayana Buddhist incorporate Tibetan practices recommended by Tsem Rinpoche? Like vajrasavatta practice and Dharma protector practises. Our grand master permits us to incorporate any Buddhists teachings. I just wanted to know if Tsem Rinpoche allowed Buddhists of other schools to adopt some of his teachings.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Anonymous,

    If your own teacher has given you permission to include Tibetan Buddhist practices, then you may. Anyone can practice the methods on this site as shared by Tsem Rinpoche. Yes, Vajrasattva practice and Dharma Protector practice will be a good addition to your normal prayers.

    Something that we often forget is that Tibetan Buddhism or the Vajrayana tradition is actually a part of the Mahayana tradition. So, even though you incorporate these deity practices, you must practice the Dharma taught by your teacher very well – developing compassion and wisdom, becoming a better person and transforming the mind. These the are the core of all Mahayana teachings. We should live and strive in these, and then our deity practices will be more beneficial. I hope this helps.

Question asked by Luke

Hi pastors thankyou for your response on my question about Protector practices. As a follow up question I want to practice Palden Lhamo as my protector so when I'm going through the Diamond path book do I begin the practice of Palden Lhamo after dissolving Je Rinpoche into ourselves which is the final section of the Guru Yoga of Tsongkhapa I think.
I'm glad Rinpoche allowed us to practice these three protectors, I personally have a strong affinity to feminine Buddha's and protectors perhaps it's my karma or previous lives😊

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Luke,

    Yes, finish the Guru Yoga of Lama Tsongkhapa completely, including the dissolution. Then in the Diamond Path, when you start the invocation to Dorje Shugden, instead that is the point when you should start the practice of Palden Lhamo.

    Make sure to practice Palden Lhamo well and strongly. She will help you a lot. I hope this helps.

Question asked by Yan

Hello
9 years ago I was officially initiated into Chinese Buddhism Chan. With the time I become more attracted to Tibetan Buddhist Tradition.
I would like to ask if I have to again pass through Initiation (to take refuge in the Three Jewels) or I simply can “switch” my Buddhist practice and life into Tibetan Tradition?

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Yan,

    If you have taken Refuge, in any Buddhist tradition, it is not necessary to re-take Refuge again if you start practicing another Tradition. However, many people do take Refuge again to re-affirm their faith, or to create a strong connection with their teacher.

    However, since you have already taken Refuge under the Chan tradition, according to Buddhist practice, you must explain to the master that you took Refuge under that you are more drawn to Tibetan Buddhism and you would like to practice it.

    Tibetan Buddhism stressed Guru Devotion, and as you have already taken Refuge you have made a connection with the mater that bestowed Refuge. If you are really sure that you want to practice Tibetan Buddhism, you should explain your reasons to the master that you took Refuge from. They may have some advice for you in order to proceed on your spiritual path. I hope this helps.

Hello !

I'm finishing today a 100 000 Mani mantra retreat with Self generation tantra of Avalokiteshvara. I've done this retreat all by myself at home and would like to know if I need to do something special to close the retreat ? I've heard about fire puja and I don't know how to do this or find the ressources to do it. Can you help me on how to close a Chenrezi retreat ?

    Dear Mabo,

    Please contact the teacher who bestowed the Avalokiteshvara initiation, or their centre. They will be able to guide you on this matter. Usually, when initiation is given the teacher will also give certain requirements so they will be able to help you better on this matter. Depending on the form of Chenrezig and the lineage you received the requirements are different, this also cover a concluding fire puja if necessary for your particular practice. You will need the help of a qualified master to engage in the fire puja. Thank you.

Question asked by Marcus Foo

Hi Pastors,

I have a question, I’ve formally considered taking Refuge and undertaking on the 10 Refuge Vows and Commitments very soon. I’m not in Malaysia so may I take it at my desk altar on any day? Or on Lama Tsongkhapa’s day? I was planning to take it soon before renewing it on Lama Tsongkhapa’s Day. Also, in regards to one of the commitments being to offer what we eat and drink to the Three Jewels, what happened if we are dining outside etc? Thank you Pastors for your kindness.

  1. Reply by pastor

    Dear Marcus Foo,

    Yes, if you cannot take Refuge in person, then it is perfectly fine and encouraged for you to take Refuge in front of your own altar. Refuge is taken from the heart, wherever you are. You should read the sections of the Lamrim in regards to Refuge and how to do it. The text we use in Kechara is known as Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand, available here if you need a copy: https://www.vajrasecrets.com/lamrim-liberation-in-the-palm-of-your-hand.

    At Kechara, our Pastors can help guide you through Taking Refuge online. You can take it in general, or specifically Take Refuge under Tsem Rinpoche and create a strong bond with Rinpoche in that manner. Tsem Rinpoche himself gave teachings to the Pastors on how to do this before he passed into Parinirvana. If you are in interested, please email care@kechara.com.

    In regards to offering what we eat or drink to the Three Jewels when you are outside, you recite any food offering prayer before you begin eating or drinking. Visualise that the Three Jewels have received and accepted your offering. It is not necessary for you to separate out the food, just recite over your meal and then eat. I’ve included two food offering prayers below, you can use either one. I hope this helps.

    Food Offering Prayer to Lama Tsongkhapa:

    OM AH HUM (3x to purify the food)

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.

    Revisit this interesting story of the headless nun. One of Canadian New Brunswick’s oldest ghost stories is the headless Catholic nun. Set in the wooded trails of French Fort Cove, about a French nun name Sister Marie who was decapitated by sailors trying to find buried treasure. According to folklore she had buried settler valuables and money in a secret location for safekeeping as entrusted. Sailors pressured her for the treasure’s location and she refused and she was beheaded. As the story goes that her spirit is said to forever roam the woods searching for her head. Scary lool.
    The ghost of Sister Marie has been haunting French Fort Cove since than for more than 200 years.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing

    We must have faith and confidence in our Guru. A guru is not someone who holds a torch for us, but someone who guides us to the light. A guru takes a hand, opens a mind, and touches our heart. Never deceive our Guru. Our Guru’s inspiration and strength have been the foundation of our learning. On this sacred day we express our eternal gratitude to our Guru. We should constantly keep our Guru in our heart, remembering his teachings, learning, practicing and transforming our mind.
    Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands

    Have not heard of this Cowichan Tribes till I read this post. Revisit again to understand better. They are a group of Coast Salish peoples who live in the Cowichan Valley region on Vancouver Island. They were is the largest First Nations band in British Columbia, with about over 5,500 members. Interesting the discovery of the mysterious ape-like creature in the remote arecalled by the Cowichan tribes as Thumquas. Its also known as Bigfoot to many. Many sightings of this mysterious creature has been part of the Cowichan tribes traditions and history of the tribes. Sightings of these creatures are mainly found in Canada and in USA region and footprints as well. The biologically rich Cowichan Valley and Cowichan Lake areas are frequent hubs for modern sightings and legends. Interesting read and some new information for me.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Learning is a continuous, lifelong journey of discovery. It is not about simply memorizing facts, but actively engaging with the world, making mistakes, and adapting. Its good to stay active, learning new things and maintaining social connections. Hence its wonderful that Anila and Uncle Eddie got the opportunity to learn using lab-top gifted to them by Rinpoche. We are never too old to learn a new skill, do whatever we could to preserve mental and physical well-being.

    My name is Bocheng Mei. I am 26 years old, from Toronto working in the software industry. For years I used to think luck was a word meant for other people Not for someone like me. My life was a cycle of unpaid bills, late night shifts and the constant, heavy feeling that I was sinking every week, i;d spent my last coin on lottery tickets, praying for a door to open. but the doors stayed shut, My friends told me to give up. Winning the lottery seemed like a distant dream. But then everything changed, I heard about Dr marcus i didn’t just want numbers, i wanted a shift in my life. I reached out, and from our very first conversation he told me that my spiritual channels were blocked by years of doubt. He performed a special ritual for me, a spell designed to align my energy with the frequency of abundance. before casting the spell for the lottery. he gave me the numbers and told me ( the universe wants to give to you, but you must be ready to receive) i walked into the store to buy my ticket, i didn’t feel desperate i felt certain. I picked the numbers he gave me. I was shocked when I got a call from an unknown number, a representative from the Ontario lottery and gaming corporation that I have won $60,000,000. Because of this man Mr Marcus and the power of his work, my closed doors didn’t just open they were blown off their hinges. today my family is safe. my debts are gone. If you feel like your luck has run out, remember my story. There is a way to change your destiny, and for me, that way was Dr Marcus. After staying persistent and finally seeing the right numbers come up that dream became a reality. The experience has completely transformed daily life and opened up new opportunities for the future. It serves as a reminder of how quickly circumstances can change. Now look… I will be honest with you all. I really didn’t want to do this. I wanted to keep this secret to myself, but my conscience is nagging at me. I see some of you out there, I see that same look of struggle I used to have in my own eyes. It would be selfish of me to keep this miracle behind a locked door while you are still searching for a key. so for the sake of those who are truly desperate, those who are tired of losing, and those who need a real breakthrough… I’m dropping it. for those who are ready to change there storyline and looking forward to become a winner you can reach out to Dr Marcus on whatsapp +2348110492028 or find him at ( drmacusspellcaster@gmail.com )

    Wat Phra Dhammakaya is a Buddhist temple in Khlong Luang district, a province north of Bangkok, Thailand. Founded in 1970 by the maechi Chandra Khonnokyoong and Luang Por Dhammajayo. Wat Phra Dhammakaya is the best-known and the fastest growing temple of the Dhammakaya tradition with a iconic dome-shaped Cetiya. Amazing it can housed millions and hundreds of Buddha statues interior and outside. Wat Phra Dhammakaya is best known for its immense size and modern design. Because of the sheer size temple, it will be impossible for visitors to explore the whole place in a day. Once a lifetime for anyone to meditate with hundreds of thousands of other people and the world has ever seen.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this post.

    Yamdrok Lake is shaped like a coral branch is one of the three sacred lakes in Tibet. Located near Nagarze County,Tibet above 4,441 meters. Due to the mythological surrounding by many snow-capped mountains and with numerous small streams ,forms a beautiful sacred lake. One of the belief that it is a transformation of a goddess. Many pilgrims and tourist visited this lake yearly. It’s a once a life time experience. I am fortunate to have a visiting this sacred lake years back.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this interesting post , explaining the significance of Yamdrok Lake.

    nspiring read. Lama Tsongkhapa an influential Tibetan Buddhist monk, philosopher and tantric yogi. Its Lama Tsongkhapa’s activities led to the formation of the Gelug school of Tibetan .He fully dedicated to teaching, writing , founding many monasteries that greatly contributed to the revitalization of Buddhism in Tibet. He even undertook many long retreats, received vision of Nagarjuna and his five chief disciples. And gained direct realization on the ultimate truth, which he soon wrote the famous ‘Praise to Shakyamuni Buddha’. In another retreat he had vision of all Masters profound’ lineages from Buddha Shakyamuni to Atisha. Inspiring read of Lama Tsongkhapa who did four-year tantric retreat, he even performed 3,500,000 prostrations and 1,800,000 mandala offerings. It was Je Tsongkgapa that emphasis the importance of the preliminary practices.
    Thank you for this interesting and inspiring post.

    The Yeti is a legendary, mythical creature deeply rooted in the folklore Himalayan regions of Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet and the Everest region. Since the 20th century, there’s many sightings of yeti footprints in the region. Back in April 2019, the Indian Army found footprints near the Makalu Base Camp. They claimed that those footprints belonged to the mythical Yeti. There is no confirmed scientific proof that the Yeti exists as an undiscovered species. I truly believed it exist. Despite centuries of stories, giant footprint claims, there is no scientific evidence that it physically exists. Climbers and local guides across the Himalayas has reported they did witnessed footprint too. Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche.

    Inspiring read of all the stories of Tibetan Buddhist nuns at Gebchak Gonpa. Located in a remote mountain valley of Nangchen in the Qinghai Province of Eastern Tibet. Gebchak nunnery is where dozens of branch nunneries scattered throughout the region. It is the home of a spiritual lineage of female practitioners, yogini, a nunnery of 350 nuns. It is situated in a high, isolated valley on the Tibetan Plateau which is about 14,100 feet above sea level. Nangchen is an area within the historical Tibetan region of Kham. It has been praised by many great Buddhist masters for its rigorous training in Dzogchen meditation and yogic practices. They are well respected throughout the region for their intensive retreat system.
    Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche.

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.
    9 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
