10 Incredible House Blessings by Kechara Pastors | 克切拉讲法师进行10项殊胜的房宅加持
(译文请往下阅读)
(By Tsem Rinpoche and Admin)
1. Protector’s Presence
Inviting a 3-feet Dorje Shugden statue, just in time for Chinese New Year!
Message from the Pastors:
“A 3-feet Dorje Shugden statue was invited by a family who love this precious protector very much. May Dorje Shugden provide protection and blessings to this family, lifetime after lifetime.”
“一户很敬爱多杰雄登护法的人家迎请了一尊3尺护法圣像 ,愿多杰雄登护法生生世世保护和加持这个家庭.”
2. Young & Blessed
It’s always an exciting time when you finally move out of your parents house and into your own. When you do, getting your house blessed is the perfect way to start a happy home!
Message from the Pastors:
“Just finished a house blessing puja for our dear friend Meng Chuan Wylfred Ng. We wish him good physical and mental health, for his wishes come true, and that he will always be safe.”
“刚完成了我们亲爱的佛友Meng Chuan Wylfred Ng的新家加持法会,祝愿他永远被护法庇护,出入平安、身体健康、心想事成.”
3. Blessed as a Family
Chinese New Year marks the point of new beginnings for many. The Gan family chose to have their house blessed as a family, and to begin the new year with positivity!
Message from the Pastors:
“House blessing for Gan Guan Hiong on the 10th day of Chinese New Year. The prayers were led by Pastor Yek Yee. We wish the Gan family peace and harmony.”
“在农历正月初十为颜先生的家进行祈福加持洒净法会,法会由郭月谊讲法师主持,祝愿颜先生家庭和谐平安.”
4. Recharged for the Year
As we leave the previous year behind us, we look ahead with hopes for a better year. Amidst the yee sang, fireworks and ang pow – most Chinese families include prayers into their New Year celebrations. The Lee family was one of them!
Message from the Pastors:
“The 2nd house blessing for Michael Lee on 10th day of Chinese New Year, led by Pastor Yek Yee. We wish the Lee family a successful year ahead!”
“第二场祈福加持洒净法会是在农历正月初十在李先生的家进行的,法会由郭月谊讲法师主持,祝愿颜先生在新的一年里马到功成!”
5. Inviting Buddha Home
We can read Buddha’s teachings, and we can view Buddha images. However, only a living spiritual guide is able to deliver Buddha’s pure and ancient teachings in ways that we can best understand, and suit our minds. For that, we hold our Guru H.E. Tsem Rinpoche in the highest regard.
Message from the Pastors:
Pastor Chia presented an image of H.E. Tsem Rinpoche’s to the home owners. Inviting an image of a high lama is the same as inviting a Buddha (an enlightened being) to your home. It’s very blessed.
“谢松平讲法师为家庭的主人献上尊贵的詹杜固仁波切的法照。迎请高僧的法照如同迎请佛陀(证悟者)进入家里一样,是充满法喜的!”
6. A Young Couple’s Home
When you’ve chosen to settle down, being connected through spirituality is one of the strongest bonds that you can have with your partner.
Message from the Pastors:
“Terence Ong is a musician who first came across Kechara through Kechara Paradise. He’s deeply spiritual and has invited Medicine Buddha, Lama Tsongkhapa, Tara and Setrap home!”
“这是我与克切拉法会成员第二次到佛友Terence Ong的家进行家访祈福法会,Terence Ong是位资深的音乐人,却因机缘的关系来到克切拉天堂,即是克切拉团体旗下的文物中心,佛缘挺深的他,迎请了度母、葯师佛、金甲衣护法和宗喀巴大师回家.”
7. Blessing A Friend’s Home
They say that friends who pray together, stay together. In this case, a Kechara member requested for the Pastors to bless his house and joined in the prayers!
Message from the Pastors:
“My Dharma brother Mr Xu’s altar, and his super big serkym set!”
“我的好師兄徐生與他壯嚴的佛龛、超特大的金酒供养法皿”
8. Signs, and Results
When we fully take refuge in the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma & Sangha) miracles can happen.
Message from the Pastors:
“Last week, we went to one of our Dharma brother’s (Yi Hwa) house to perform a blessing for his lovely family. According to his wife, she dreamt of H.E. Tsem Rinpoche after Yi Hwa hung an image of His Eminence in their house. Another amazing thing happened, after the Pastors helped his family rearranged their wealth vase, Yi Hwa received a job offer from a company 2 days later. Amazing!”
“在上个星期,我们去了一位师兄的家为他可爱温馨的家庭举行祈福加持洒净法会。师兄的太太说,当师兄在他们家里挂上了一幅尊贵的詹杜固仁波切的法照后,她就梦见了仁波切。另一件神奇的事就是,在克切拉讲法师们帮他们家重新布置了聚宝瓶的两天后,该名师兄就收到一家公司的招聘书了,聚宝瓶的力量真是不可思议!”
9. Setrap, My Bodyguard
Setrap has been relied upon in Gaden Monastery (India) for over 600 hundred years. The effectiveness of Setrap’s practice has resulted in many taking Setrap as their principal protector.
Message from the Pastors:
Setrap is the indispensable spiritual bodyguard in Sim Ting Ting’s life, and H.E Tsem Rinpoche is the most important guardian angel in her heart.
“金甲衣护法是Sim Ting Ting生命中不可缺少的心靈保鑣,詹仁波切則是她心中最重要的守护神.”
10. Connected Through Prayers
You can tell where people place their priorities in life by looking at their homes. The Chen family chooses to focus on spirituality, rather than materialism – and that itself will bring them further in life, than acquiring possessions.
Message from the Pastors:
“This is the Chen family. We were very happy to see how devoted their family is to H.E. Tsem Rinpoche and Lord Setrap. Although their home is not large, they take very good care of their altar.”
“這是陳家,我感到很歡喜的是,這家人對詹仁波和金甲衣护法的恭敬心;屋子雖不大,但他們家的佛龛卻打理得井然有序.”

Dear friends,
Tibet has produced many powerful meditations, rituals and guidelines to help us gain spiritual protection, gain wisdom and higher states of consciousness. In general Tibet has produced many powerful methods for the growth of our spiritual evolution. Dorje Shugden is an angel, a saint, a powerful spiritual protector-warrior who originated 350 years ago when a highly awakened Tibetan Lama fulfilled his vows to become a special being to grant protection, wisdom, material needs, safety when travelling (normal and astral travel) and spiritual awakening. Both the Great 5th Dalai Lama and the current His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama composed short yet effective prayers to invoke upon the power and blessings of this special saint and protector. One can recite either one of the prayers that you feel suits you, anytime or even daily. When you feel a special need for help, you can recite either prayer anytime. When you are feeling down, afraid or just need a blessing, you can recite them. After reciting either invocation, it is good to chant the mantra of Dorje Shugden: Om Benza Wiki Bitana Soha.
You do not have to be a Buddhist or practitioner of any religion to invoke upon the blessings and protection of this special enlightened and awakened angel Dorje Shugden. He helps all without discrimination or bias as he is filled with compassion and love. Divinity has no boundaries, they help all who call upon them.
Enclosed are the prayers in English, Chinese and Tibetan.
May you be safe, protected and blessed.

Divination (‘mo’) Text by Dorje Shugden
This is an important divination (‘mo’) text composed by Dorje Shugden himself. Dorje Shugden took trance of the Choyang Dulzin oracle lama, the senior oracle of Gaden Shartse Monastery, and instantly on the spot composed this text within two hours.
The divination text contains information on how to use dice to do divination for the future and is known to be highly accurate. When practitioners use this text, they will be in direct contact with Dorje Shugden to get answers to questions about the future. It is for those who have good samaya with Dorje Shugden and are free of the eight worldly dharmas to be of benefit to others in divining the future.

His Holiness the 10th Panchen Lama
Tibetans commonly refer to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and His Holiness 10th Panchen Lama as the “sun and moon” of Tibetan Buddhism. They are the center of Tibetan Buddhist civilization, which draws to its sphere of influence millions of non-Tibetan practitioners. The Panchen Lama’s incarnation line began with the 16th abbot of Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, Lobsang Chokyi Gyeltsen (1570 – 1662). He was bestowed the title of Panchen Lama by His Holiness the 5th Dalai Lama after being declared as an emanation of Amitabha.
After being given the title, his three previous incarnations were posthumously also bestowed the title, making Lobsang Chokyi Gyeltsen the 4th Panchen Lama. He became a teacher to many Tibetans, Bhutanese and Mongolian religious figures, including His Holiness the 4th and 5th Dalai Lamas, and the 1st Jetsun Dampa of Mongolia. A prolific author, Chokyi Gyeltsen is credited with over a hundred compositions, including a number of commentaries and ritual texts that remain central in the Gelukpa tradition today. Along with his role as a teacher of the Dharma, the Panchen Lamas are usually responsible for the recognition of the rebirths of the Dalai Lamas, and vice versa.
The 10th Panchen Lama, Lobsang Trinley Lhundrub Chokyi Gyeltsen (19 February 1938 – 28 January 1989) continued both the spiritual and political roles of his predecessors. His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, his contemporary, was even heard to say and echo the Panchen Lama’s own words that the Dalai Lama would safeguard Tibet from the outside while the Panchen Lama would safeguard Tibet from the inside, as he never left Tibet after the political troubles of 1959. He was truly loved by the Tibetans, all the way until his passing. When he taught, thousands of people would attend, not only from his own Gelug lineage, but masters and practitioners from all traditions of Tibetan Buddhism.
At his sprawling monastery of Tashi Lhunpo, he has a special chapel specifically dedicated to Dorje Shugden, where prayers and rituals are performed on a daily basis. In his great omniscience the Panchen Lama held Dorje Shugden as the principal Dharma protector of the monastery. He also personally propitiated Dorje Shugden among other Dharma protectors, and even wrote extensive prayers and rituals to Dorje Shugden. These rituals and prayers are contained within his ‘sung bum’ or collected works, which are provided here. As such a great lama, with an erudite and clear understanding of the Buddhist scriptures, a teacher to millions in both Tibet and China, from an established incarnation line and an emanation of the Buddha Amitabha, he could not be mistaken about his practice of Dorje Shugden.
His Holiness 10th Panchen Lama is known for his composition of commentaries and practice texts that are still in use by contemporary Buddhist practitioners both in Tibet and across the world. One of these is a powerful ritual composition propitiating the compassionate Dorje Shugden.
Upon the request by Acharya Lobsang Jangchub to compose a shorter version of the prayer (sadhana) for the exhortation of activities of Dorje Shugden, Panchen Lama immediately composed an abbreviate form of Dorje Shugden’s Kangsol. This text is entitled “Manjunatha’s (Tsongkapa) Lineage protector Dorje Shugden and five forms wrathful propitiations and confessional prayers and fulfilment of activities rites” or “Melodious sound of Accomplishment of the Four Activities” for short. Once the prayers were completed, he had signs and strong feelings that Dorje Shugden has been working hard to protect the Buddhadharma in general and the lineage of Lama Tsongkhapa specifically.
Mirroring the abilities of one of his earlier incarnations, Khedrub Je, a disciple of Lama Tsongkhapa and master of both sutra and tantra, the Panchen Lama used his compositional skill and poetic prowess to create a masterful sadhana. Worthy of note is a praise in which the first letter of each verse is a Tibetan vowel. Such compositions are rarely seen, and have historically only been used when propitiating senior Dharma protectors such as Palden Lhamo and Kalarupa.
The Panchen Lama also stated that while composing the Dorje Shugden sadhana (prayers) he was filled with a sense of happiness and bliss. He ends the composition with not only his official title but his ordination name, Tenzin Trinley Jigme Choje Wangchuk, endorsing the validity of his work. He composed the sadhana in his own Tashi Lhunpo monastery while in the Hall of Clear Light and Bliss.

For the first time available, Dorje Shugden and his entourage of 32 assistants of his mandala.
Dorje Shugden is a powerful protector deity who is also an emanation of Manjushri, a wisdom bestowing Buddha. Therefore, he has great ability to help us to progress further on the spiritual path. He does this by helping us to overcome obstacles and problems for the modern individual.
Due to his enlightened nature, Dorje Shugden is able to manifest 32 deities and within the same abode resides Setrap and Kache Marpo:-
1. 5 Dorje Shugden families or emanations. They consists of the following:-
– Dulzin Dorje Shugden, which performs activities to eliminate inner and outer obstacles.
– Shize, which performs activities to pacify all illnesses and disease.
– Gyenze, which performs activities to increase all desirable material and spiritual wealth.
– Wangze, which performs activities to control difficult people and circumstances.
– Trakze, which performs activities to wrathfully eliminate all insurmountable obstacles and life-threatening situations.
2. 9 Mothers. They represent protection of the five senses and developing control of the four elements. These are all attributes that signify their ability to assist tantric practitioners with their higher meditations.
3. 8 Guiding Monks. They represent the Eight Great Bodhisattvas (Avalokitesvara, Manjushri, Vajrapani, Samantabhadra, Maitreya, Kshitigarbha, Akashagarbha, Sarva-nivarana-viskambini) and they bring about the growth of the Dharma, through the Sangha, Dharma practitioners and Dharma establishments.
4. 10 Youthful & Wrathful Attendants. They represent the ten wrathful attendants to avert inner and outer obstacles. They are beings who are from Mongolia, China, Kashmir, India, Bengali, etc.
5. Setrap. He is a senior Dharma Protector from India and an emanation of Amitabha Buddha. He had enthroned Dorje Shugden as an authentic Dharma Protector. Therefore, he also resides within the same mandala of Dorje Shugden.
6. Kache Marpo. He is not an emanation of Dorje Shugden but he is still an enlightened Dharma Protector in his own right. He was originally known as Tsiu Marpo of Samye Monastery. However, he has placed himself under the service of Dorje Shugden as his chief minister, performing many activities in order to protect and benefit practitioners. Therefore, he stands guard at the main entrance of Dorje Shugden’s mandala. He often takes trance of qualified mediums to speak.
7. Namkar Barzin. He is the reincarnation of an old Mongolian monk and when he passed away in Phari area of Tibet, his spirit was placed as a powerful assistant of Dorje Shugden. He guards and protects buildings and great institutions especially those that benefit others. He rides on a mythical Gyaling animal that resembles a goat but with scales.
These sacred images are available on *Vajrasecrets. They are made of high quality alloy and are one of a kind. They are based on the lineage of His Holiness Panchen Rinpoche’s monastery, Tashilhunpo in Shigatse, Tibet. In fact, the iconography of these statues are based on detailed photographs taken by H. E. Tsem Rinpoche during a trip to Tashilhunpo’s protector chapel. These are based exactly as the 10th Panchen Lama’s personal collection.

Amazing post!!!!!
Dear friends, For months we have been working on this BEAUTIFUL and meaningful mural in Kathmandu, Nepal. Please click here to enjoy the many stunning pictures of this mural: https://bit.ly/2LgOj8J

Sakya tradition’s thangka of Dorje Shugden sitting on a throne within his palace with his four emanations and high Sakya Lamas nearby. Tsem Rinpoche
Antique Pelden Lhamo thangka with sacred Dorje Shugden at the bottom right. Can see Tsongkapa and Guru Rinpoche on the top also. Beautiful and holy.
Great message every Tibetan especially must read!
It’s wonderful to see so many people requesting the assistance of Puja House for blessings, be it for the new year or a fresh start in a new home. It goes to show that more people are discovering Buddha Shakyamuni and Lama Tsongkhapa’s teachings and connecting with it.
It is also an affirmation to those are already practicing to continue their faith and their journey in dharma. Always grateful to the puja team being always there in our hour of need.
Thank you, Rinpoche for bringing this practice to our shores.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful and significant photos showed that Kechara Pastors’ tireless efforts to bring dharma to many others and do the blessings whenever is necessary.
Basically, the pastorship role was conceptualized by our precious guru, H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, to preserve the Dharma and to give laypeople an opportunity to commit to benefiting others. Kechara Pastors are fully dedicated and selflessly serving others especially in spiritual growth and therefore this is good for us to support the Pastors so that they can focus and spend more of their time and effort to serve others and most importantly Buddhist teachings can be spread and shared to many others. The supports to Pastors including food, lodging, transportation, items necessary for their work, such as ritual items or spiritual gifts for those in need and many others. (If you are interested to know more about Kechara Pastors, please have a good read at https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/kechara-13-depts/support-the-kechara-pastors.html)
May more and more people meet up and get to learn about Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden. Many people have been benefitted by Dorje Shugden.
An altar or shrine to the 3 Jewels – Buddha, Dharma and Sangha should be the center of all our daily prayers, mantra recitations, offerings and devotions. It is where we collect spiritual merits for purification of karma, avoidance of obstacles and development of our spirituality. Hence, it is important that we spend our best on the shrine to ensure we collect as much merits as we can.
Hence, for lay people, we should be as elaborate with our shrines as possible. The 3 Jewels do not need it, we need it for all that was mentioned and above all, contentment, happiness and good fortune in this and future lives as well. We never know when we will loose this precious life and all opportunities to change our future lives would be gone.
I can see that more and more people as asking the Kechara Pastors to come to their house and do house blessings. Throughout the years, Kechara Pastors are busy going around the whole of Malaysia (and sometimes to Singapore) to bring Buddha’s blessings to many people. I am grateful for Tsem Rinpoche for starting the Pastors systems in Kechara to benefit so many people in so many different ways.
From the images, I can see many beautiful altars. It should come into handy when I need to setup my own altar later.
Rejoice to all the families who had set up a Buddhist altar at home and conducted a house blessing puja. There are various benefits of having the house blessing puja conducted, which ranges from bringing well-being on all levels – in one’s health, relationships, business, and family – to purifying the home. The puja ceremonies will purify the environment which helps the people who live there and people who are visiting there to experience general well-being. Thank you for sharing with us the many photos, it is very heartwarming to know that these families will always be blessed by the Three Jewels.
Thank you Kechara pastors and puja team for always being around whenever we need pujas or blessings to be done. Especially when we have emergencies such as passing away of a loved one or urgent cases.
My family and I recently moved into a new place during Chinese New Year and we asked the puja team to do a house blessing. I always like to watch them perform pujas. Not only do they look professional in their uniform but they are so well trained and well versed with the pujas. I strongly recommend their services to all those who need it.
Great service provide by Kechara House, thank you Tsem Rinpoche for creating the cause for everyone to get connected to BuddhaDharma.
Where there is a need there is Puja House! Life in samsara can never be smooth sailing. Nobody has it easy all of the time always. That is why everyone could do with a little bit of help. House blessings are really beneficial and we don’t even have to be buddhist for it to work. Of course ordering a puja to be done or sponsoring one is beneficial, but having a daily practice ourselves is doubly beneficial.
It’s just like we can’t pay someone to make us enlightened and we need to work at it ourselves. But we must first know the way.
Thank you Admin for sharing this post about the good works of our Kechara Pastors have done for the benefit of others. The various works that our Pastors offer are house blessing, baby blessing, office blessing, car blessing, bereavement puja etc. I would like to thank all the Pastors who have worked non-stop and round the clock to help others.
With folded palms,
Vivian

Thank you Pastor and the puja team who work tirelessly in arranging and doing puja for those in need and 24 hours on call. Rejoice for the family and houses that has been blessed.
Great job to the Puja team and thank you Rinpoche for sharing this article.
Comments such as this one left by ‘Suzy in Hawaii’ on Tsem Rinpoche’s YouTube channel is becoming common. After demonizing Dorje Shugden for twenty years, the Tibetan leadership is fast losing its supporters to logic and better information. In this comment Suzy writes honestly how she held on her jaundiced view of Shugden only because the words of the Dalai Lama colored her judgement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl-4lIwxph4&t=11s
Trode Khangsar Chapel in Lhasa, Tibet
Over 400 years ago a great and learned lama Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen was famed in Mongolia, Tibet, Nepal and China for being very saintly and compassionate. He resided in his residence (Zimkhang Gongma Ladrang) in Drepung Monastery. His root guru was H.H. the Omniscient 4th Panchen Lama and his close dharma brother was the 5th Dalai Lama.
The 5th Dalai Lama and Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen had a very close and dharmic relationship and often went to receive teachings together from the 4th Panchen Lama. They were close in age. They both became very learned and well known. During this time, the Dalai Lama was enthroned as a Dharma King of Tibet. But more people went to see Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen for teachings, initiations and divinations. This made the attendants of the 5th Dalai Lama feel threatened that Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen’s fame might usurp the power of the 5th Dalai Lama. So they had a khata forced down his throat. At that moment, Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen dissolved his psychic winds and generated the wish to be a great guardian of Buddha and Tsongkapa’s teachings. As his consciousness dissolved, he entered ‘bardo’ as a dharma protector of the highest order (jikten depey sungma). Many signs were seen throughout Lhasa at this time and the earth was said to have shaken in Lhasa. This event was already predicted to Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen’s previous incarnation when he was one of the 8 main disciples of Lord Tsongkapa the Supreme Master and he served Tsongkapa directly by building Gaden Monastery.
When the 5th Dalai Lama heard what his scheming and power-hungry attendants had done, he was very distressed. He was very sorry Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen was murdered and dishonored as he was a great dharma master. The 5th Dalai Lama composed an apology to Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen. In Lhasa, tens of thousands gathered for the cremation of Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen’s holy body. During the cremation, the 5th Dalai Lama’s apology was read out at which flames spontaneously arose from the body of Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen commencing the cremation. From the body, during cremation, a powerful whirlwind of smoke tunneled into the sky for all to see as this was an indication Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen’s consciousness has arisen as the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden. The Dharma Protector Setrap immediately recognized this new protector Dorje Shugden and ‘enthroned’ him as a powerful Dharma Protector in the realm of the Buddhas. From this, Setrap and Dorje Shugden are closely connected and very close working hand in hand always. After the cremation, the great 5th Dalai Lama built a Dorje Shugden chapel on the spot the cremation took place and named it Trode Khangsar. The 5th Dalai Lama commissioned the statue of Dorje Shugden in this chapel and had monks installed in the chapel to do continuous propitiations to Dorje Shugden. Trode Khangsar Chapel was a commemoration to Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen who was wronged and also a celebration of his consciousness arising as the World Peace Peace Protector Dorje Shugden.
This Trode Khangsar Chapel still exists now in Lhasa where many make pilgrimages there. It is in good condition and was recently renovated. It is over 400 years old and a testimony to the respect the Great 5th Dalai Lama had to Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen who arose as Dorje Shugden.
I have visited this holy chapel in Lhasa years back. I’ve never heard of it till I was in Lhasa and by chance, I was told about it which I was happy to visit. I could not find the place but strangely a bunch of pilgrims from Amdo told me they would show me how to get there in Lhasa.
This short video is a short clip of this holy Trode Khangsar Chapel in Lhasa today commemorating Dorje Shugden, built by the great 5th Dalai Lama. The great 5th Dalai Lama even composed a prayer to Dorje Shugden which is still available today and we can recite to invoke the blessings, protection, and assistance of World Peace Protector Dorje Shugden.

The 5th Dalai Lama’s Prayer to Dorje Shugden
HUM
Though unmoving from the sphere of primordial spontaneity,
With wrathful turbulent power, swifter than lightning,
Endowed with heroic courage to judge good and bad,
I invite you with faith, please come to this place!
Robes of a monk, crown adorned with rhinoceros leather hat,
Right hand holds ornate club, left holds a human heart,
Riding various mounts such as nagas and garudas,
Who subdues the mamos of the charnel grounds, praise to you!
Samaya substances, offerings and torma, outer, inner and secret,
Favourite visual offerings and various objects are arranged.
Although, previously, my wishes were a bit dense,
Do not stop your powerful apparitions, I reveal and confess!
Now respectfully praising with body, speech, and mind,
For us, the masters, disciples, benefactors and entourages,
Provide the good and avert the bad!
Bring increase like the waxing moon in spiritual and temporal realms!
Moreover, swiftly accomplishing all wishes,
According to our prayers, bestow the supreme effortlessly!
And like the jewel that bestows all wishes,
Always protect us with the Three Jewels!

It’s always happy and joyful to see many invited Buddha home. They have invited the most precious special guest home, for they are always able to connect to the Buddha and receive precious Dharma that can transform their life and their family members’ life forever.
Buddha statue are not just pieces of metal, wood they represent Buddha’s enlightened qualities. Buddha images brings up many benefits to all those who behold it.
This is a lovely article on the puja service provided by the puja team. Pastor Yek Yee seems very kind and hard working and so does her team. I love the altar in all the pictures and the feedback received from people is proof of the effectiveness of the pujas. I love pujas and prayers to buddhas. Nice. Thank you for the post Rinpoche and your generosity to everyone.
Glad to see that Kechara Puja Team was busy helping people this Chinese new year! 🙂
Thank you Admin for the sharing. May the Puja House continue to flourish to benefit more and more sentient beings.
The pastors definitely work tirelessly for the pujas. Whenever people need any help at all by just calling them they would not say no, the would help to arrange for something that would be immediately done. Pastor Yek Yee is always smiling, willing to teach and help no matter how tired she may be.
The whole puja team is just awesome. They would just drop by when they are being called, with everything prepared for. I remember that there was once where there was a office blessing that was done, after the puja, Pastor was held back by my colleagues to ask her about some questions. Although she was rushing for time, but she still stayed on and answered all the questions that we had before she left.
I really thank the pastors and puja team for always being so committed to help all that would need their assistance.
The most amazing picture that stood out from the rest is Mr.Xu’s big serkym set. This really ‘wow’ me off. Next is the big boy who did the mandala hand mudra. I love all these pictures.
Thank you to Pastor Yek Yee, Pastor Chia and the team. I wanted to extend my deepest gratitude to them for everything that they have done. I believe they have done/sacrificed much more than this. Often times, they have to get up early to prepare. They literally have to ‘cut down’ their time with their loved ones at home, get up from their bed early,familiarise themselves with the prayers, pre arrangement for the time, date and etc… Very dedicated and compassionate.
Rinpoche really saw through this from the very beginning. Despite the norm, Rinpoche has insisted on having Pastorship. Due to this, many have benefited directly and indirectly from Pastors and their dedicated team members. THANK YOU Rinpoche……..
I am fortunate to be part of the Puja outcall group to visit the house and performe puja’s for the sponsors. It is through the kindness of Rinpoche that Kechara have our very own Shabten Khang or Puja House in Malaysia, where we are able to perform Puja’s for sponsor with the various Puja available, but also we have an outcall Puja team who visit the sponsor houses together with Pastor to perform Pujas and bless their house.
we are happy to see that the House blessing have been accepted by many and request Pastor to do house blessing for them, as they trust the blessing and power of Three Jewel for protections.
