（译文请往下阅读） Dear Friends, Although I am currently in the USA, I always get good news about many people back in Kechara. I very much welcome and very happy to get good news. Today I was inspired to write something on a wonderful and very kind soul in our midst. Kechara Buddhist Pastor Yek Yee is a hero to me and inspiration also. She works hard and sometimes has no rest because she has so many house calls to request her to do blessings, funerals or purifications of negative energies on behalf of Kechara. She even blesses cars and counsels people w...

(By Tsem Rinpoche) What really matters at the precise moment? When is it your turn? Any day now most likely. None of what you believed, said, thought, eaten, travelled, learned, family, acquired, partner, kids, parents, likes, dislikes, games, humour, travels, anger or ego will help you at this precise moment.

When we become immune to feelings, pain, crying, suffering, torture, killing jus for the sake of taste indulgences or any indulgences, what have we become? Why are we alive? What are we living for? Why are we existing? What is our purpose?
