Profile

Since becoming a Buddhist, Niral has had a voracious passion for the Dharma. Having experienced benefits in his own life from timeless Buddhist wisdom, which has led to a deep-seated desire to better himself, he is known to have his head buried in books and loves to share what he knows during class, so that others can benefit from what little he understands…well…one can hope.

Whilst most of his time is taken up with his Pastoral duties and work in Kechara’s Education division, his childhood love for philosophy is obviously clear in his “spaced-out” look, when the cogs in his brain turn, painfully and ever so slowly, until he thinks he’s realised the truth behind whatever inconsequential titbit he’d spent the day obsessing about.

Niral has now found a better way to share his weird, whacky and, more often than not, other-worldly ideas with an unsuspecting audience than as a guest author on his Guruji's blog!

Voyage to the Colossus of Rhodes

I’ve always been fascinated with mythology, especially of Greek and Egyptian background. I remember watching the likes of Jason and the Argonauts, Medea and Clash of the Titans as a young child with my father, and was utterly enthralled with not only the culture it portrayed but with the fantastical creatures, demons, monsters and...

Ever since I was young, I’ve had a fascination with two things – strange and wonderful cryptid creatures (animals claimed to exist but without definitive scientific proof); and ancient mythology, especially Greek and Egyptian. My fascination with these two led to many incidents, which have since become humorous mainstays of family history. As a...

    Any work done with the teachings of the Buddha alive in our hearts is Dharma work. Some of us share the precious and uniquely challenging opportunity of working or volunteering for a Dharma organization . We must practice with the bodhisattva attitude every day as long as we all try to remember the workings of ego, karma and impermanence .The ultimate goal of Dharma practice is to benefit all sentient beings and lead them to happiness. This aspiration can transform any activity into Dharma work. Copying scriptures, making offerings, giving to the poor, listening to teachings, meditating, and reflecting on the teachings are all considered Dharma activities. Our attitude and intention are crucial for whether our work becomes Dharma work. Even a secular job can become spiritual if we approach it with purpose, and a commitment to benefit others. That’s Dharma work when the work benefits sentient beings and the teachings of Buddha; it depends on the motivation one has and how one does the work. Profound teachings.
    Thank you Rinpoche .

    Chariots of the Gods is a book written back in 1968 by Erich von Däniken. Erich von Däniken is a Swiss author of several pseudoscientific books which make claims about extra-terrestrial influences on early human culture. Interesting the book is all about those many unsolved mysteries of the past, which was an immediate bestseller in the United States, Germany, and many more countries. His books have been translated into 28 languages, and have sold 60 million copies worldwide. Through his archaeological findings has suggested that in ancient times the earth was visited by extra-terrestrials. Interesting read.

    Revisit this post….A touching song by a Mongolian boy who lost his mother to a fatal illness, and also lost his father shortly thereafter to a car accident . It was in China’s Got Talent contest 2011 , this 12yr-old Mongolian boy performed a touching song sending his thought to his mother at heaven. It had touched the hearts of the judges and audiences. Even though it was a Mongolian folk song which I could not understand but hearing it truly touching.

    Wow what a brilliant way to spread Dharma through having comics pictures. Comics as visual storytelling is a unique art form that combines words and images.Through reading and seeing through those comics books everyone could understand. Its suitable for adults and kids and even the old. These comics depicts the power of Dorje Shugden. A picture is worth a thousand words, but a comic is worth a million. The pictures and words interact in the reader’s mind, resulting in the story. For Kechara coming up with this comic Karuna Finds A Way book, more and more people understand better of Dharma and more so of Dorje Shugden.
    Thank you Rinpoche and writers team.

    Vietnam is home to a variety of strange, real-life creatures such as Asian Unicorn , snub-nosed monkey , smallest sun bear species in the world, and so on. Vietnam’s animals are a vital part of the country’s biodiversity, comprising unique and endangered species that deserve protection and appreciation. Those animals that exist are one of the most underrated appeals of the country. Back in 1947 ancient tribes-people living in the mysterious forest creatures appeared regularly sighted by farmers. Its was only in 1982 a Professor discovery of a footprint of Nguoi Rung creature an undiscovered species of hominid like the Yeti or Bigfoot. That’s awesome, so Yeti do exist .

    Reading this old post tells us more who Kechara Buddhist Pastor Yek Yee is for sure. A hard working lady whom everyone could see for themselves . A disciplined, resilient lady who possesses incredible stamina taking on new challenges when given tasks. Devoted to task, working tireless in effort . She has great and vast knowledge in Buddhism and also very good with Tibetan Buddhist rituals. She indeed has inspired many through the years at Kechara.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this inspiring post and reading what others have said about Pastor Yak Yee.

    I was infected with Genital Herpes Virus 10 month ago, ever since then i have been searching for cure everywhere because i was feeling so uncomfortable with it. I have been dating for almost 5 years until i contracted Genital Herpes from my ex-boyfriend. since then I became very sad about the whole situation, always going online checking if i could get a cure to Genital Herpes, then i came across so many testimonies. Due to my seriousness and eagerness to be completely cured, i became a victim of fraud after contacting several so-called herbal doctors i was referred to. I lost a lot of money but i didn’t stop searching for a cure. Then one faithful day, i came across a testimony of a lady saying that she got her Genital herpes cured by a Great Herbal Doctor she called Dr iniboku by contacting him through his email address. And she advised anyone with Genital Herpes or Simplex Herpes to contact the herbal doctor for Herbal Cure. I contemplated for about 4 hours whether or not to contact him. then something inside of me told me ‘Nothing good comes easy’. I then contacted him through his email and told him my problem. He told me all the things I needed to do and also gave me instructions to follow, which I did properly. Just within weeks of drinking and applying the herbal medication he sent to me through DHL delivery service, i started seeing changes, i went to my medical doctor for check-up, i was so happy when the doctor told me i was no more having Genital Herpes Virus, it was all tears of Joy from that moment, People think herpes is really a minor skin irritation herpes has a long term effects on health and if i could ever meet a Genuinely Great Herbal Doctor. I’m so grateful to him. i am completely free from Genital Herpes Virus, i introduced a family friend who have Simplex Herpes virus to him, He called me and told me he was also cure completely. I promised to share my own testimony like that of the lady on the internet. Friends, If you are also struggling with Herpes disease you can as well Contact him via Email: drinibokuspelltemple@gmail.com <drinibokuherbalhome@gmail.com or message him on via whatsApp at +2347059186346 or visit page https://www.facebook.com/driniboku/

    Setrap Chen is a wrathful protector deity in Tibetan Buddhism, particularly revered in the Gelugpa tradition. Setrap is believed to be an emanation of Amitabha Buddha and is known for his fierce and powerful appearance. Setrap’s wisdom is unmatched. He sees through the illusion of samsara and knows the best ways to help us .
    Even Though this is an old post , happy for Liew & family that have purchased a stunning Setrap statue from Kechara Paradise outlet.

    Mount Emei, built in the 1st century CE, is a 3,099-metre-tall mountain in Sichuan Province, China. It is the highest of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China an area of great cultural significance. That’s where Buddhism first became established on Chinese territory and from where it spread widely through the East . Worth visiting this UNESCO World Heritage Site a scenic mountain area which includes over 70 temples, monasteries, and attractions. Emei Shan said to be inhabited since 10,000 years ago according to historians. Visited this awesome mountain years back, seeing it for myself those ancient Buddhist architecture on Emei shan.

    Sasquatch, also known as Bigfoot, is a legendary creature said to inhabit forests, mostly found in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. As described by eye witnesses as a large, hairy, humanoid creature, often reported as being taller than the average human, and covered in dark hair. While many believe in its existence, but there’s no definitive scientific proof. Bigfoot is a figure deeply embedded in the folklore of North America. Despite numerous reports and alleged evidence, there is no conclusive scientific proof of Sasquatch’s existence. Many sightings of these hairy creatures yet no one ever getting close to it . Tibetan high lamas have reported seeing Yetis or bigfoots. Never been doubt these extraordinary creatures do exist as Tibetans, Nepalese, and others believed. Interesting .
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this.
