H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche is a recognised Tulku and an ordained monk in the great tradition of Lama Tsongkhapa.
With a Mongolian-Tibetan heritage, a childhood in Taiwan and America, and intensive study and meditation in Gaden Shartse Monastery, Rinpoche is one of the rare, precious teachers with the unique teaching ability to bridge East and West.
Based in South East Asia since 1992, Rinpoche’s teachings are based on logic and universal human values, free of the limitations of dogma, culture and individual background, and have led many to enter the sacred path of study, contemplation and meditation. Great benefit has been predicted for this region, including china, through his Dharma activities.
Renowned for his charitable works such as building schools, hospitals and providing assistance and food to the poor and underprivileged, Rinpoche’s organisation, Kechara, continues to bring benefit to the world through its many initiatives.

(By Tsem Rinpoche) Tonight, in part of my talk at Kechara House’s Setrap Retreat, I explained about Setrap and why we make wrathful offerings to Dharma Protectors.

Dear friends, When you practice generosity at first, it is about you and the recipient. How the recipient responds greatly affect your motivation to do more or less…in the beginning I stress.

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.
In Tibetan Buddhism Nageshvaraja and Loma Gyoma are two revered deities known for their roles in spiritual purification and deep healing. We are so fortunate having invited these Holy Statues to Kechara Forest Retreat. Awesome just by reciting the Mantra of Naga’s King Buddha who is one of the 35 Buddhas of Confession, one could purifies thousands of eons of one’s negative karma. When I visited Kechara Forest Retreat I will always take the opportunity to pay homage and circumambulate the holy statue of Buddha Nageshvaraja. Lhamo Loma Gyonma is one of the most efficacious healing deities. Lhamo Loma Gyonma’s tremendous ability known to be able to cure the most severe wide-spread contagious diseases . Awesome having these two powerful statues at Kechara Forest Retreat for everyone to pay homage. Going through those beautiful pictures again simply paints a thousand words.
Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands.
Looking at those beautiful pictures of fish pond at Kechara Forest Retreat is awesome. With stunning Manjushri statue in the middle blessing those who circumambulate around it so as those fishes in the pond. All thanks to our Guru coming out with this awesome idea having a pond garden.
Thank you Rinpoche sharing with us his personal 16 inch ‘Dream’ Manjushri. Merely by looking at it is a blessing . Very fortunate to see it.
Praise be to the incredible Lord Meduza, I’ve never seen or heard of his lottery spell failing, not even once, and that includes my own experience. Every day, I feel renewed blessings after connecting with the Great Lord Meduza, who gifted me my winning six-digit lottery numbers that won me $740,000,000 million dollars by using his magical skills to foresee the outcome. I’m a dad of four, and it’s been a few years since I lost my wife to cancer I miss her terribly. To wrap things up, I really want to thank Great Meduza for being so good at what he does. His guidance and lessons were applied swiftly and precisely leading us to the best possible result, which we definitely achieved. You can reach him by email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or check out his website: lordmeduzatemple.com for more information or Whats_App: +1 807 798 3042… Stay blessed and know you’re in good hands with Lord Meduza.
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

Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting and inspiring man.
Revisit this blog again. Looking at those pictures , tells us it’s a tough project stretching from zero set up. The committed team had done a great job, doing part by part to where its now. We are so fortunate given the opportunity to get involved in the Tsem Rinpoche Stupa Project. It’s a once life time opportunity, creating merits and be connected to our Guru in this life or in future life time. Now then all projects has completed, it will benefit more people.
Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands and those involved in this grand project.
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.
Thank you Rinpoche.
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.

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.
