(By Tsem Rinpoche) I am just an ordinary practitioner: “Some of the Lamas, teachers and practitioners are ignorant. Because they want to eat meat and drink alcohol, they say that it is necessary since they are followers of Guru Rinpoche, who ate meat and drank alcohol. But Guru Rinpoche was born miraculously, not like...

(By Pastor Loh Seng Piow) 高僧带孟加拉客工去买衣服。高僧,不是高在头衔,而是高在心里。 Last night His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche went to Kechara Forest Retreat and walk around, then Rinpoche brought a few students for dinner nearby. There were four Bangladeshi workers coming along as they were to follow the students back to the city. Tsem Rinpoche heard that the Bangladeshi workers worked very hard in Kechara Forest Retreat, so Rinpoche treated them dinner, gave them extra pocket money. Then Rinpoche remembered passing by a clothes shop on the way to the restaurant, so Rinpoche...
(By Pastor Loh Seng Piow) Last night after dinner, His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche took a stroll from inside Kechara Forest Retreat to the entrance and saw this van parked at the entrance selling groceries and toiletries, so Rinpoche asked how many foreign workers were there in Kechara Forest Retreat, and bought 16 sets of gloves, shampoo, soap, shaving razor, eggs, peanuts etc. to be given to the workers. Rinpoche always has others’ welfare in His mind, even if He has never met them before. The interests of others always arise in His mind spo...

Rinpoche immediately called Singapore and asked for the phone at the other side to be placed next to the father’s ear. Rinpoche then did prayers and...
Being Rinpoche’s personal attendant means that I am able to witness real Dharma in action, both on and off the throne. I consider myself extremely fortunate, and at the same time it is also a great challenge to instil Dharma in my life 24/7. Over the years I have witnessed many cases of how Rinpoche helped many people in both worldly and supramundane ways, so I decided to have these stories told in comic form for the wider audience. It is my wish that through these stories many will be inspired to achieve the state of compassion and attai...
(By Pastor Loh Seng Piow) Today the grandmother of the security guard in Tsem Rinpoche’s residence unfortunately passed away, so Rinpoche personally picked out a Buddha statue and some Dharma books and incense as a gesture of condolences for the guard.

KECHARA FOREST RETREAT PROGRESS UPDATES
Here is the latest news and pictorial updates, as it happens, of our upcoming forest retreat project.
The Kechara Forest Retreat is a unique holistic retreat centre focused on the total wellness of body, mind and spirit. This is a place where families and individuals will find peace, nourishment and inspiration in a natural forest environment. At Kechara Forest Retreat, we are committed to give back to society through instilling the next generation with universal positive values such as kindness and compassion.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Chinese migrants came to Malaysia primarily to escape poverty and political unrest. They were attracted by job opportunities in tin mining and plantations. Many travelled from Southern China by boat to Malaysia. That’s how the Tan family set foot on Malaysia to start the traditional Chinese medicine business. From rag to riches they founded the Tan Ah Chin & Son Medicine Hall in Penang.The story set an example of how Dorje Shugden had help the Tan family in comic. form. When we have faith and rely on this Powerful Protector, it will answer the prayers of those who seek assistance.
Thank you Rinpoche and writers team for sharing this awesome comic. May more and more readers enjoy reading this wonderful comic.
Yes even with our Dharma practice and doing Dharma work we have to do our homework. Practicing Dharma through Dharma work and turning our daily tasks into a path of kindness, patience, and service for others. We have to set the correct motivation, practice mindfulness and letting go our ego. Be patience and have compassion while doing the work by staying calm. What is important to transform our mind while helping and benefiting others from it without agenda.
Thank you Rinpoche sharing this profound teachings.

Astronomers too have discovered over the past few decades there’s more planets out there that can support life in our universe. Its there any living creatures that can survive no one know or any aliens could.
Astronomers and scientists are trying to discover more whether there’s life on other planets.As the universe is so incredible vast I do believe there’s life out there. Scientists yet to answer whether there’s life in other planets. One day they might as there’s modern technology. Interesting read .

TechY Force Cyber Retrieval (TFCR) helps individuals investigate and pursue the recovery of funds and cryptocurrencies lost through scams, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, and other digital assets.
(www.techyforcecyberretrievals.com)
TFCR says its approach is built around ethical investigation, transparency, and client support. Rather than promising guaranteed results, the company focuses on understanding each case, tracing relevant transactions, collecting evidence, and identifying potential recovery pathways.
Helping Victims of Investment Scams
Investment scams can be difficult to navigate, especially when funds have moved through multiple wallets, exchanges, or financial accounts. TFCR works with clients to document what happened and analyze available transaction and financial information.
(www.techyforcecyberretrievals.com)
For appropriate cases, the process may include:
* Reviewing transaction records and supporting evidence
* Tracing cryptocurrency movements on public blockchains
* Analyzing financial activity and identifying relevant entities
* Helping organize evidence for financial institutions or law-enforcement reports
* Explaining potential recovery options and next steps
TFCR emphasizes that every case is different and that recovery cannot be guaranteed. Its goal is to provide victims with a structured, evidence-based process while helping them understand their options.

A profound teaching on death meditation. Gone were those days when we mention death it is a tattoo .We have to accept death in reality , we came to this world with nothing so as we leave this world with nothing . Nothing belongs to us Death meditation in Buddhism is the practice of reflecting on mortality to reduce fear, letting go of worries at the time of death. We have to accept that aging, sickness and death come to everyone of us. Is better for us to prepare and practice the death journey by visualising as taught by our Guru. Rinpoche had explained clearly and simple for us of the importance of death meditation. Reading this blog again and watching the video on Rinpoche teaching to remind myself .
Thank you Rinpoche and interesting sharing of Pastor Henry updates which will inspire more people to practice.
Wow …with this Dorje Shugden illustrated story and graphic novel more people will get to know and understand Dorje Sgudeh better. Interesting story of how Dorje Shugden arose as a Protector to help us. Dorje Shugden is an enlightened being who is also an emanation of Manjushri. In the ‘Music Delighting the Ocean of Protectors, HH Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche has mentioned the history and benefits of Dorje Shugden clearly , truly and preserving the practice for future generations. Its an accurate account whole story of Dorje Shugden from the very beginnings of this great protector. This novel surely suits all old and young people to read it.
Thank you Rinpoche .

Good day, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery and he clarified the process to me stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers which I accepted. I followed all his instructions and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza.

A house blessing and protection prayer creates a peaceful, spiritually environment for us. It invites divine presence into every corner, that’s awesome. It is believed that as the prayers vibrate they create energy, protecting the home and bestowing good luck on its residents. Reading this old post ad looking at those beautiful pictures paints a thousands words. Pastor and team did a great job blessing each of those houses. Inviting a Pastor to do house blessing asking for protection, joy and clearing negatives energy before the start of a New year is wonderful.
Thank you.
