    Having the opportunity to see those awesome stunning Holy Dorje Shugden statues located all over the world as mentioned in this post is a blessing. Merely by seeing these ten Holy Dorje Shugden Statues around the World in this post is a blessing. I had a great opportunity to take a glimpse into three of them. One is the personal possessions of the 5th Dalai Lama’s handmade Statue,at Kathmandu, Nepal. Not only once but twice during my trip there years back. It is believed that this is the first statue of Dorje Shugden kept at Phelgyeling Monastery. There’s another one at Trode Khangsar, Tibet and of course the one at Kechara Forest Retreat, Bentong, Pahang. Merely by looking at those Holy Statues is a blessing in this blog. especially of those personal statues of High lamas.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Dungkar Monastery, located in the upper part of Yadong hillside about 13km away from Yadong County, Tibet. Built in the early 12th Century by a Geluk monastery, according to tradition it was founded by Lhai Metok, the daughter of Lha Lama Yeshe O. It is a branch of Dhankar Monastery which is one of Spiti Valley’s most iconic Buddhist sites, located dramatically on a cliff. It was the first Gelug monastery of that after it was entrusted to Kyabje Domo Geshe Rinpoche in 1901. Its ancient architecture, dating back centuries, and the panoramic views it offers make it a captivating spiritual and visual landmark. Dhankar village has a rich history once serving as both a fort and a monastery. The village has been a significant cultural and religious center for centuries, with its inhabitants traditionally living in close harmony with the monastic community. Dungkar Monastery also became the seat of a famous and respected Dorje Shugden oracle who was consulted by people from all over Tibet. This oracle could take trance of six different deities including Dorje Shugden and his ministers Kache Marpo and Namkar Barzin.
    Reading this blog over and over again to understand better .As it is worth reading the whole history of such an interesting blog. The Monastery had evolved into a major spiritual center despite destruction and rebuilding over centuries. The monastery survived numerous destructions yet it still remains as today.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David sharing this interesting and details history of Dungkar Monastery.

    Choosing to live a life on learning and practicing Dharma is a powerful, intentional decision that brings lasting happiness and purpose. Since nothing lasts forever, choosing to practice Dharma is the only way to find lasting value and peace.To live life to the fullest means embracing experiences, focusing on the present, overcoming fear, and finding joy in small moments. Living, learning, and practicing Dharma is considered by many spiritual traditions, particularly Buddhism, to be the most meaningful way to navigate life, as it transforms daily existence into a path toward inner peace, wisdom, and liberation from suffering. It is not just about rituals or religious dogma, but about transforming the mind, cultivating compassion, and acting with integrity in all situations.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing profound teachings.

    nteresting story of the great historic Ashoka. He was called great because of his model rule based on peace and compassion that helped in unifying the culturally diverse empire. Ashoka was able to rule over the vast and diverse empire through a centralized policy of dharma. He favoured peace and tolerance and that administered public works and social welfare. He likewise patronized the spread of Buddhism and art throughout the empire. Under a centralised administration he was able to develop and promote Buddhism after walking across the battlefield, looking upon the death and destruction. He then experienced a profound change of heart, renounced war and, in time, converted to Buddhism, devoting himself to peace. Since then, Ashoka was recognized as one of the most fascinating ancient monarchs for his decision to renounce war using his peaceful efforts. Ashoka’s fame is largely due to his pillar and rock edicts left a lasting historical record. He is remembered as a model ruler, controlling a vast and diverse empire through peace and respect, with dharma at the centre of his ideology.
    Thank you Rinpoche great sharing of a great man.

She accumulated great merit and powerful wisdom from decades of meditation . Ani Ngawang Pema was a student of H H Trulshik Rinpoche. The practice of deep, focused reflection and away from distractions, to foster profound self-awareness, offers the opportunity to deepen one’s practice in profound and lasting ways. Her story had inspired many others. When she was young and beautiful many rich famous families seek her marriage but she turn down. She chose to practice Dharma and monastery life instead. She preferred to stay in solitary meditation where nobody could see her. Soon she became a legend people, those who passed her small hut ask for blessing.

    following the advice of the great Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden.
    Through the highly respected Panglung Oracle’s instruction given by Dorje Shugden. Dalai Lama managed to escape undetected through the Chinese army and over dangerous mountain terrain into India, safe and unharmed back in 1959.This true story is now in comic form where everyone reading it will get a better picture and knowledge of the escape. That’s worth reading as it comes in flipbook and image gallery format .

    n Tibetan Buddhist preliminary practice offering 100,000 butter lamps to Vajra Yogini is very powerful practice for generating merit, purifying negativity, and advancing on the tantric path. It’s considered an excellent practice when doing continuous, dedicated offerings for everyone . We could do it ourselves in a retreat setting at home, offering many lamps each day. Butter lamps are traditionally offered to the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Dharma protectors as a gesture of respect. It symbolize the light of wisdom for deep spiritual realization. There’s numerous benefits just by offering lights . Looking at the picture of the Vajra Yogini taken by Philip Yong in the butter lamp house at Tsem Ladrang Kathmandu simply awesome.

    Buddha already mentioned before that there are many other worlds existing and we are not alone. His best known for his work on black holes and the theory of relativity. He had advanced computer graphics to visualize his scientific theories about alien life.
    Depicting, there’s a possibilities for life on other planets, a concept he explored using cutting-edge visuals to make abstract science tangible for audiences. Amazing indeed. Most scientists do agree with his idea that alien life certainly exists in the universe somewhere. Physicist Stephen Hawking had a stark warning to humanity before his death about the capabilities and threat of artificial intelligence. He gave warning about how humanity might fall, including a warning against trying to communicate with alien civilisations. So interesting dough.

    Thank you Rinpoche for explaining on the meaning of Lama Tsongkhapa’s hand gestures and the lotuses . This imagery highlights Tsongkhapa’s role as a great scholar and yogi. Lama Tsongkhapa had personify the highest realization of Buddhist teachings and the path to awakening. Lama Tsongkhapa often seen as an emanation of the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, Manjusri. On the lotuses held by Lama Tsongkhapa are a flaming sword in his right hand and a Buddhist text on the lotus in his left hand. The sword symbolizing the union of wisdom that cuts through ignorance and delusion. Wisdom text representing compassion needed for enlightenment. Great knowledge by reading those FB comments as in the blog. There’s so much to learn, thanks again.

    Well chaplain is an ordained member of the clergy or so call spiritual leader. That’s awesome having a chaplain in hospital, military base or even a prison giving spiritual guidance and counselling. Chaplain provides spiritual guidance and offer support to people of all faiths and beliefs. They will also assist individuals and families in difficult times within a secular institution. Those inmates and military personnel been away from families truly needed emotional and spiritual support. Within the United States army, the first Buddhist chaplain was appointed back in 2004, endorsed by the Buddhist Churches of America. The number of Buddhists in the U.S. military has grown, leading to an increased need and presence for Buddhist chaplains. Many of the chaplains are attracted to Buddhism as that it was patently un-political. Buddhism continue the trend of remaining secularly apolitical in the future, providing comprehensive spiritual support serving the diverse needs of military forces on bases worldwide. Good to know that US military forces such as the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force allow having Buddhist Chaplain in as it brings diverse spiritual support and promoting holistic well-being for all service members. Buddhist Chaplain has in-fact show that the military values diversity, with different faiths working together.

    In Tibetan Buddhism, a wealth vase, is a sacred object used to attract material and spiritual abundance. These vases are filled with various symbolic items and are believed to balance the elements. Having a wealth vase brings numerous benefits such as attracting material prosperity, career success, and financial growth. Not only that but also spiritual wealth, wisdom, and protection from loss. As it contained symbolic treasures and energies to boost abundance, remove obstacles, and enhance luck according to Tibetan traditions. They symbolize accumulation of assets and security of financial gains. The wealth vase is filled with precious items such as relics from high lamas, representations of the Wealth Buddha, holy items, precious and semi-precious gems and so on. Having a wealth box at Kechara Forest Retreat brought tremendous benefits .We are all very fortunate to contribute and support this blessed Wealth Box .

    H E Zava Damdin Rinpoche, is an erudite Mongolian Buddhist master within the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Zava Damdin Rinpoche was recognised as the reincarnation of one of the greatest Buddhist masters, yogis, healers, scholars and mahasiddhas in Mongolia. Zava Damdin Rinpoche is famed for his absolute guru devotion. In spite of the unlawful ban on the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden Zava Damdin Rinpoche remain devoted to the practice and has continued to see enormous growth around the world. Especially in Mongolia which has long held a strong historical and religious connection with Tibetan Buddhism. Back in 2016 H E Zava Damdin Rinpoche conferred Yamantaka initiation and Dorje Shugden sogtae . More than 10,000 ordained monks and lay people attended the initiation in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Looking at those pictures in this blog says all, all monks and lay people were so blessed indeed. It has proven that the practice of Dorje Shugden is very popular . They were more blessed and fortunate as after the initiation, they were given a ‘heart’ crystal and a chakra which were consecrated during the sogtae ceremony. They are given as a blessing and reminder of the initiate’s commitments to Dorje Shugden, and also as a symbol of Dorje Shugden’s promise to protect them.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing .

    Well thought out article where Rinpoche gave a precious teaching. Encourage us to go vegetarian showing compassion to all sentient beings by not causing suffering or death. To make a conscious effort to avoid contributing to the suffering and death of animals is the best choice. Going vegetarian in Buddhism is a choice motivated by compassion. I do agree with Rinpoche that we should not be too attached to meat. Very true there is nothing to lose by going vegetarian. What enlightened and attained beings do we can’t , we follow the conventional way .
    Thank you Rinpoche for all these precious teaching

Our altar! It was colourful and neatly arranged because it's a way for us to accumulate merit through offerings. All the items on the altar are deeply symbolic, representing enlightened qualities that practitioners aspire to develop. Kechara Penang Study Group by Jacinta.
