Shame

Aug 2, 2013 | Views: 1,050

This family shot and killed this elephant as it was eating (you can still see the food in its mouth). 

How is it fun to shoot a rare species like elephants just because you can afford to?

    Thank you Rinpoche for the sharing. They are cruel and ignorant. Hope they have stopped doing this and stopped the killing

    It is just so disgusting of the family to be smiling so happily beside this dead elephant that they have shot while it was having it’s meal.

    The elephant was so vulnerable to all exterior factors while it was trying to fill it’s tummy.

    I just cannot understand how can people use hunting as a source of leisure. In the past, people hunt to stay alive. Not for killing for their pleasure. This is just so sick and disgusting.

    I cannot believe that these people are still smiling so happily beside this dead elephant that was just trying to eat. What wrong did it have? The only wrong that I can see hear is that it is being there at the point of time, because it had to eat to keep itself alive.

    I really do not understand how can they be so proud of their cruel action taken against the poor elephant, how is killing something worth cherishing? What is the point of killing the elephant? Is it just to show off how great you people are? Well you guys have got what you wanted- attention, and on the other hand, karma will do it’s job.

  4. Carmen Lin @ KMP on Nov 5, 2013 at 9:35 pm

    Cruelty in action! This is not something we should be proud of. Killing a living things while it is eating it not fair! Karma will come back to them. Children have to be taught compassion and kindness and not how to pull the trigger to shoot down some living things.

  5. Ck siah on Oct 31, 2013 at 6:50 pm

    多么的惭愧,又是一件人类为了自己的快乐把痛苦建在动物上事件重演。 om benza sato hum! 祈愿那只被杀的大象能有更好的转世。试想,要是我们在用餐时,也被人射杀,我们会是怎样呢?那我们人类对自己同胞被射杀的感觉又是怎样呢?善哉!善哉!

  6. jerry_sito on Oct 23, 2013 at 6:15 pm

    感概许多的人,依然以杀生为娱乐,我会在我的早课里祈愿他们能接触佛法,学习佛法与修持菩提心,祈愿他们能不以杀生为娱乐,并能够参与佛法工作,好累积善缘

    祈愿一切被杀的众生能有好的转世,放下怨恨,并投生能学习佛法的地方

    this is so horrible how people find it funny or fun to murder animals. it is sick! i wish i could stop all of this.please everybody stop killing animals they have lives too. thank you for sharing Rinpoche.

  8. SteveD on Sep 24, 2013 at 5:43 am

    We should feel sadness that some people feel the need to act like this. We should pray for them.To be afflicted by such mental blindness one needs our help. though easy it would b to feel anger at what they did our actions would only perpetuate a cycle of callousness.
    I say offer your prayers to those that needs it and they do.

  9. So Kin Hoe (Ipoh) on Sep 21, 2013 at 10:43 am

    i wonder how they think and what kind of motivation they were holding before they killed the elephant, which has nothing to do with that family after all. some more, they smiled and posted before the dead elephant which they thought as a reward after they had spent so much of energy and time together as family.

  10. Tong sunsun on Sep 16, 2013 at 9:10 pm

    我看了这报道后直让我心酸,一只活了好几年或者几十年的庞大生物,就是因为人类的无知和自私。就白白牺牲了。它还是在进食中被射弊。天啊。。。。。我无法言语。

  11. Wylfred Ng on Sep 11, 2013 at 8:44 pm

    Really sad and feel shamed to see this picture. Thanks Rinpoche for the sharing. I will share on my facebook to create more awareness to my friends.

  12. Albert Ratchaga on Aug 29, 2013 at 2:08 am

    This is really a great shame of humankind, what is it so happy about for killing an animal? they also have family, have children just like anyone of us, when our family member in danger, we will take whatever move to safeguard them, to make sure they are save and sound, we work day and night to feed our children, same to the animals too, they also find food to feed their children, and when we kill the adult animals, we are also killing their babies who will be suffered from no food or also may die due to hunger.. When we work so much to save our children, then what right do we have to take their life?

    We should treasures each and every lives just like how we treasures our life, because they are no difference than us, we suffered in Samsara, they also suffered in samsara, so shouldn’t we work together to come out from the samsara instead of killing each other?

  13. Wan Wai Meng on Aug 27, 2013 at 11:22 pm

    People who kill harmless creatures not only have no shame they also have no guts.

    Would they be so brave to face a wild animal without modern arms and without sneaking up on the animal!

  14. Darren Kechara on Aug 27, 2013 at 7:24 pm

    Poor elephant, really don’t know why people hunt animal down as their hobby. There is much other things to do than killing animals…I folded my hands and pray for the elephant… /_\

  15. June Tang(khjb) on Aug 17, 2013 at 9:16 pm

    OMB ! I really shame on this family! They are so cruel!! They killed the poor elephant for fun and take picture!! Please act like a human not a monster! Never harm animals by any reason! Stop animals cruelty!!

  16. Patsy on Aug 17, 2013 at 4:11 pm

    Shame on this family! They are murderers and they are so proud of it!

  17. Uncle Eddie on Aug 13, 2013 at 1:55 pm

    We may respect our fellow human beings, but unnecessary violence to animals is unwanted and sinful. As an ancient buddhist scripture quote said, “Let him not destroy or cause to be destroyed any life at all, or sanction the acts of those who do so. Let him refrain from even hurting any creature, both those that are strong and those that tremble in the World.” Eating animals for the pleasure of one’s tongue when there are plenty of other food available, is an exhibition of sadism, which every moralist should denounce. It is believed that as long as human beings keep on shedding the blood of animals,there never will be any peace in this World. Man’s conduct with regard to animals should be regulated by right reasons, which prohibits the infliction of purposeless pain and sufferings on all living beings!

  18. pavara on Aug 9, 2013 at 10:28 pm

    That is so cruel!!!!!!!
    How could someone do this it is so cruel!!!!
    How would you like it if you were munching your food and suddenly you get shot!!
    Please stop animal cruelty unless you want to be reborn in a bad place.
    I pray that the elephant has a great rebirth.

  19. Jutika Lam on Aug 8, 2013 at 11:34 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,

    OMB!!! I just really can’t believe what i saw in the picture above.

    It is as if killing is already bad enough I still can’t believe that this family still has the guts to take a nice smiley family photo in front of what they have killed.

    Aren’t they ashamed of what they have done? How could you just kill a living being at any time of the day, let alone when it is eating???

    It’s such a shame on this whole family and I hope that their Karma will soon catch up with them so that they will know how much pain and suffering the elephant they killed had to go through.

    It’s amazing how one picture can say so much.

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this picture and yes I will definitely share this picture on Facebook and other Social Media Sites to put more shame on this family.

    Love
    Jutika

  20. mitra on Aug 8, 2013 at 10:10 pm

    Is it fun to kill animals?What so happy on killing? why people are so cruel with animal? i realy sad rinpoche when i see this photo even elephan havent finish his grass .realy realy sad.

  21. Sean Wang on Aug 7, 2013 at 3:05 pm

    THis is extremely shameful. I can understand why they did this. People who are insecure want to put down other sentient beings to make them more secure. They find joy in hurting others because they know they can. Their conscience does not work. It is people like these that lead to more murders in this world.

  22. Cliff on Aug 6, 2013 at 3:17 pm

    This is really digusting at the lowest level, I am deeply sadden looking at this photo. How could someone teach their own children to kill an innocent animal whilst eating its own meal. Parents should be teaching their children to love and take care of other living beings. It really achieves nothing from killing this poor elephant. An animal so rare and majestic which is already having huge difficult problems with their populations to be shot down so mercilessly as this, is truly heart breaking. It is so evil to think that the idea of fun is to kill an innocent animal.

  23. tenzin llhamo on Aug 5, 2013 at 11:16 pm

    Its really sad that people can do this and be proud of it. Proud because they took the life of a helpless animal and think that they are heroes. They are really ignorant, cruel and selfish. To them its just for fun! I really hope that people are taught how to appreciate animals instead of killing, eating and doing it for fun…

  24. Low KHJB on Aug 5, 2013 at 9:55 pm

    I am glad that they are so proud of themselves for their great achievement.They are so fortunate to spend some quality family time to have a great outdoor to experience in a far away land .To experience nature at its best.
    Would it be great to share the stories about their great vacation which they spend a small fortune on.It would be great to let their friends know that they went to a far away land to experience the best time of their lives.
    They should share with their friends on how they MURDER ALL THE DEFENSELESS ANIMALS AS THEY LAY EYES UPON THEM.HOW THEIR FEELING WAS WHEN THEY SHOT DOWN THE POOR ELEPHANT AS IT WAS GRASSING IN THEIR LAND THEY CALL HOME. IT WAS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT THE ELEPHANT HAS A CALF BESIDE IT AS IT DROP DEAD. WOW ! WHAT A FEELING !
    They should not limit their joy and compassion to only their family.They should show mercy to other living beings.It does not cost them anything by restraining themself by not releasing the bullet at the poor elephant.
    If they would like some excitement or a sense of achievement they could go to a firing range and show off their skills.
    If they would like to show off their are strong and brave then ,they should wrestle with a lion one to one with their bare hands.

    What is there to prove???They should understand that the joy of compassion is far more satisfying then the careless release of a merciless bullet.

  25. Adrian Cho on Aug 5, 2013 at 6:10 pm

    This is so cruelly and really feel shame on them. They really don’t think about it, if they are the elephant get killed like this, then how they will feel. It is so sad, when I looking on this picture 🙁

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this post.

  26. Sharon Saw on Aug 5, 2013 at 4:07 pm

    This is very shameful on the human race – that there is pride in killing. The elephant has done no wrong and nothing justifies killing these lovely creatures. It is not even for food or for their ivory – it is pure ridiculous pride. And what is pride about anyway? That humans can operate a gun? It is very sad and very embarrassing. If aliens were to look at earth and see what we are doing to other animals, each other and our planet, i am sure they would be disgusted. Let’s teach our children differently – with Dharma – and hopefully, we can save our own future.

  27. MadAwakeningSkills on Aug 5, 2013 at 11:49 am

    They killed for fun, not to eat, not for ivory. When an elephant see another being killed because of ivory, whenever it find an elephant corpse with ivory, it brakes all ivory. Because the elephant learns and thinks, it sees that they are being killed because of ivory. But int this case, this is madness.

  28. Felix Kong on Aug 5, 2013 at 10:32 am

    Stop killing animals, hunting is not an entertainment and not so fun. Feel sad for this elephant, it was enjoyed its food 🙁 Om Mani Padme Hum _/\_

  29. Andrew Boon on Aug 4, 2013 at 3:28 pm

    SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! There really is NO NEED for such blatant cruelty and murder! What are these adults teaching their children? The smiles on their faces says it all… the karma is sealed!!! How sad and terrifying!

  30. HelenaC on Aug 4, 2013 at 9:55 am

    Geeeessss!! I really hate this! Imagine we were the one whom got killed while eating!! How can killing this beautiful animal as a leisure and fun for them? This is totally unkind, inhuman, selfish, stupid and cruel!! I’m sure karma will get them!!!

  31. AdelineTan on Aug 4, 2013 at 2:57 am

    The family felt proud after killing the elephant as shown in this picture, So cruel and it is really a shame of them to be so merciless. We must stop killing and harming animals, their lives are precious too like ours.

  32. mitra on Aug 3, 2013 at 6:31 pm

    please stop to killing ……. i realy sad when they kill our friend.do they dont have heart to feeling pain? thank you rinpoche .

  33. Boon on Aug 3, 2013 at 12:55 pm

    Thank you rinpoche for sharing this post with us. I really feel shame on them. They have done something wrong but due to their ignorant, they still feel pround on their action. They dont know that one day, the negative karma that they have created will surely return to them. I hope that they can realize from their mistake soon and stop doing this unetchical action anymore.I hope that the elephant can have a good rebirth. Om Ma Ni Pe Me Hum . R.I.P elephant.

  34. Julien Roth on Aug 3, 2013 at 12:09 pm

    This is a shame. How they are proud to kill this animal. So sad. And as it was eating, just terrible. I hope that many people share this information and that this family becomes infamous. And that thinks like this will stop.

  35. Edern on Aug 3, 2013 at 12:08 pm

    Y must they kill an elephant. Because it is fun???? How can they do this. I hope this would be the top of the internet then everyone will know how shameful they are.

  36. Lucas Roth on Aug 3, 2013 at 11:51 am

    this is such a shame, people are so cruel how they can just kill endlessly. imagine yourself getting gunned or stabbed to the ground, then getting skinned, horns cut off, cut up or just left there dead for no reason. humans are so cruel, and then they are proud of killing, make me sick!

    Is really a shame this is not something we should feel proud about it this act us really show how ignorant are we. Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this post.

  38. beatrix ooi on Aug 3, 2013 at 12:31 am

    I really hate looking at photos like this, especially with the people smiling away while there’s a dead animal lying next to them. How can they be so cruel? Where have their hearts gone? The fact of killing animals is not something worth of celebrating, because it’was a life thag they have taken away, how could they be so happy and still take picture of their cruel act? This is not going to make them famous.
    They will see..what goes around, comes back around..
    Thank You for sharing Rinpoche.

  39. Erickksiow on Aug 3, 2013 at 12:20 am

    Dear Rinpoche, Shame on them, shame on them. Why did they killed this innocent elephant and took a family photo after killing the poor elephant. Is it even fun to kill animals? I don’t think is fun, I think is cruel. When are the hunters going to stop killing animals.

    The term Concert of Names of Manjushri is a tantric text within Tibetan Buddhism, describing the various names and qualities of the bodhisattva Manjushri. Its usually recited and often memorized by practitioners in Buddhist ceremonies The text consists of verses that praise and invoke the qualities of Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom and knowledge. By just chanting the names of Manjushri, bring numerous benefits, primarily focused on enhancing wisdom, memory, and clarity of mind. Some traditions associate the practice with protection from negative influences, such as black magic, sickness, and negative karma.
    Thank you Rinpoche for introducing this powerful practice to us at Kechara Forest Retreat , Bentong, Pahang.

    The Jonang lineage traces its roots back to the 12th century, the profound teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni. Interesting read of the History of Jonang lineage and how it converted to Gelug and how Kalachakra maintain in Gelug until today. The Jonang lineage is a school of Tibetan Buddhism that emphasizes the Kalachakra Tantra. It originated in Tibet, though suppressed in the 17th century, the Jonang tradition persevered in remote regions of Tibet and is now experiencing a revival. The Jonang lineage offers a unique perspective on Buddhist philosophy and practice, influencing other Tibetan Buddhist traditions.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing about this profound lineage.

    Even its an old post ,revisit again as its good to know that years back our Kechara Forest Retreat was in China Press. Even till now it did came into news with many more updates . That’s wonderful as more people are aware of such a beautiful Holy place at Bentong,Pahang. Kechara Forest Retreat has since been one of the tourist attraction in the state. Introducing this Holy place those days had attracted more and more people seeing for themselves the world largest Dorje Shugden Statue is located. It has since benefited many people paying homage to Dorje Shugden and others Holy Statues there.
    Thank you Rinpoche for been at Bentong.

    Since escaping from China in 1959, Tibetans refugees settled down in different parts of Indian. The Tibetan leadership and those in exile were given land, opportunities, education and aid, and so many Western charities help them. The Indian government under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru was kind enough and they could do whatever they like. Tibetan settlements in South India have been severely affected by a regional drought. In Tibetian Buddhism accomplished masters could influence the weather. As long as practitioners accomplished in their practices, they had guru devotion and pure samaya with their teachers, it could be done. Many witnesses including our Guru H E Tsem Rinpoche saw the masters could stop the rains. The prayers and rituals have not been effective as they gave up their commitments to their lineage lamas, related to their Dorje Shugden practice. Moreover they have lost faith in great master and gurus as they practise Dorje Shugden. They have creates very heavy negative karma. Great masters could stop the rains and making it rain and save the harvest. For the sake of the people who are suffering from horrendous drought, those samaya must be repaired practitioners must all be united again and not discriminate each others due to their Dorje Shugden practice. The Tibetan government should also repair this samaya. Interesting read .

    Manjushri is one of the most important figures in Mahayana Buddhism, and is considered a patron deity of wisdom and learning. By practicing Manjushri our wisdom can enhance and improve significantly. Helps help us with our memory.
    Through Rinpoche’s sponsorship at Gaden Sharte Monastery many monks had benefited. Rejoice to them receiving the initiation .Sponsoring the Dharma, which refers to supporting the teachings and practices of Buddhism, is considered a meritorious act in Buddhism. Acts of generosity and support for the Dharma are believed to generate positive karma, leading to positive consequences in this life and future lives.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing and explaining it.

    David Bowie, was an English singer, songwriter and actor and was once a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner. Regarded as among the most influential musicians of the 20th century . The English singer, songwriter and actor David Bowie died at his Lafayette Street home in New York City but in his will he requested his ashes to be spread according to the Buddhist rituals of Bali, Indonesia. He must been to Bali and fall for the beauty of Buddhism and culture of Bali to choose BUDDHIST ritual upon his death. David Bowie made a conscious choice that made perfect sense, not allowing fans and media to focus on his body and his death.

    HORRIFYING, feeling sad after watching the video. The way or rather methods of slaughtering of pigs at slaughter house is indeed cruel. Just like human beings, they do feel pain and fear to be slaughter. No living beings would choose to die in pain or a painful death. Hopefully those methods have since been changed to minimize animal suffering. Stop consuming meat and choosing to go meatless or on vegetarian is the best choice.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this to bring awareness of how those poor pigs suffer before been killed.

    Hoichi the Earless is the name of a well-known figure from Japanese folklore. His story is well known in Japan. Some centuries ago there lived at Akamagaséki a blind man named Hoichi, who was famed for his skill in recitation and in playing upon the biwa. According to legend, Hoichi was a blind minstrel with an amazing gift for the biwa (a loquat-shaped Japanese lute). Despite his talents, Hoichi was very poor and was forced to live at Amidaji Temple under the care of a friendly priest. There’s an interesting stories behind how he lost his ear to the Samurai and the priest wrote kanji characters all over Hoichi’s body rendered him invisible to the samurai. Hoichi’s ordeal had freed him from the spirit’s power, and he went on to recover from his wounds and become a famous musician. His story become well known and had it appearing in the books as well as in film.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    Reading through the Royal Song Of Saraha paints a thousands words . Such a meaningful song or rather deep poem, will be wonderful if I could understand enough some of those words, its more of a deep Dharma teaching to me. This song of existential freedom was composed by the Glorious Master Yogin Saraha and translated in English translation by Herbert V. Guenther.
    Thank you and with folded hands Rinpoche.

    HH the 101st Gaden Trisur Jetsun Lungrik Namgyal Rinpoche is an erudite, and highly attained lama. Millions of Gelug practitioners from all over monasteries view H H the Gaden Tripa as the supreme leader of their lineage. H H the Gaden Tripa gave a three-day teaching on the sacred Highest Anuttarayoga Tantra practice of Vajrayogini at his Dharma centre in France, Thar Deu Ling. A very special text containing teachings composed by HH Gaden Trisur Rinpoche were also distributed. Incredible , HH Gaden Trisur Rinpoche continue giving teachings at the advanced age of 92. Haven writen a book about the Vajrayogini practice shows us the importance of this practice in this day and age. Merely by reciting her mantra daily without break can gain spiritual attainments, perceive her holy form, and even ascend to her pure land — Kechara Paradise.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this profound knowledge about Vajrayogini

    I thought the physicians says there is no cure for HSV 2!!! I am telling you today that DR.UMA cure HSV 2 with his herbal medicine and once you get cured you are cured forever it is never reversible, I have been suffering for this deadly disease called HSV 2 for more than 2years and I lost all hope because my doctor says there is no cure for HSV 2. Brethren I saw a testimony on the internet on how DR.UMA cure HSV, Hapatitis etc with his herbal medication and an email and watsapp to contact him was also displayed, I thought this was a joke but I decided to contact him and he replied telling me not to worry that my problem is over . DR.UMA sent me a herbal medication to drink for one month but only 2weeks I feel strange and I went to my doctor and he confirmed me negative. He can help you too. Contact him via email…dr.umaherbalcenter@gmail.com WhatsApp +2347035619585. He is capable of curing AUTISM, HERPES, HPV, HSV1&2, HEPATITIS A B C, and DIABETES.

    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.

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.

    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
