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 Buddhism, the Body of a Buddha refers not just to a physical form but to the manifestations of enlightenment. It is important to understand those marks on the Body of a Buddha as we practice further. Early Buddhism describes the physical body as having 32 major marks of perfection while the Mahayana tradition outlines three distinct bodies. Till now I am still trying to remember those body parts. Such a very information article for all.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing and explaining each parts.
The concepts of the cycle of birth and death, samsara and liberation partly derive from ascetic traditions. The significance of rebirth varies by tradition and practice. To achieve a better reincarnation in the next life all depends on our accumulating present good karma and acquiring merits. One’s actions in a present life shape the circumstances and consciousness of the next. Doing more positive action in the present life shape the circumstances and consciousness of the next . Learning, practicing Dharma and putting into positive action is the best choice for everyone to have a good rebirth. Great reading article from Dr. Berzin which will benefit our thoughts and dharma practice.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing.
Reincarnation is the religious concept that the soul or consciousness of a living being begins a new lifespan in a different physical body after biological death. It is a central belief in many traditions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. While there is no scientific proof of reincarnation, many spiritual and cultural traditions suggest that signs of past lives can appear in our daily life.
After watching and reading many reincarnation stories I do believe. there are many reincarnated lamas, famous people out there. As in this blog very interesting videos to watch supporting that reincarnation do happened.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
Hi, wishing good fortune to everyone who comes across this comment! I went bankrupt last year due to failed business ideas.

Without Meduza, I wouldn’t have made it through the tough times I experienced last year. Truly, MEDUZA is a divine presence among us.

A profound teachings , well explained the importance of going pilgrimage . Going on a pilgrimage is a life time opportunity with profound spiritual significance to achieve self-discovery of one self. Some research has shown that people who engage in pilgrimage walks , benefited them which has religious or spiritual significance. It offers one the opportunity to disconnect from our daily routines and distractions, finding a sense of community and belonging. We also gain clarity and direction in our lives , inspired and renewed, and deepen our spiritual practices and beliefs. It holds deep importance across global faiths and secular traditions. All I can say its a journey to a holy place, which can lead to a personal transformation.
Thank you Rinpoche great sharing.
Simple words and easy to understand reading those beautiful inspiration creation chart . Yes it definitely benefits everyone reading it. Great job Pastor Seng Piow helping up making it possible for readers. Religious freedom is the fundamental of human rights, protecting each rather individual’s right to believe and worship. Religion without humanity is a waste.
Thank you.
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

He had been a devoted Buddhist all of his life and his books had been instrumental in introducing Buddhism to the Western world.
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.

It is the perfect practice for everyone who wants simplicity yet effective blessings. You can share this with more people, it will be good.
