Kechara is doing a book and creating a movie on my life story.

Actually I’m not anyone special, but my teacher in the past around 8 years back (2002) insisted I do a bio book on myself in which I vehemently asked to be excused from doing..But my teacher insisted…But as time passes, many people inquire about my life and it seems the direction to go. So my teacher as usual is fautless in his instructions to me…I humbly thank Him.

Irene, Pastor Loh Seng Piow (SP) and Mr Khong have gone to Tibet to research my relatives (father’s side of family) and also Tsem Monastery (Yara region, Kham) and area of my previous incarnation. They took many pictures and talk to many. Relatives from my previous incarnation are still alive amazingly. They were happy to know I am here and requested me to visit them.

Irene, Khong and Pastor Loh Seng Piow also visited Xianjang and have met with my mother’s side of the family…and had a warm reception. Lots of family there…Later many more pictures and information in the form of the book will come out from Kechara Media and Publications.

This morning a group has flown off to USA to do research for my biography. There is a group of 11 students of Kechara and professionals on this strip that will span New York, New Jersey, California, Virginia and Florida. They will go to document the places I grew up, school and where I lived. They will interview many of my family members and close friends in the US. This will all be valuable information for the biography book. They will take pictures of Rashi Gempil Ling Temple in Howell New Jersey where I first recieved refuge, tantric initiations and met His Holiness the Dalai Lama for the first time in 1976…My first guru, H.E. Kensur Lobsang Tharchin Rinpoche resided in this temple until his passing…

This Tsem Rinpoche Bio Project is taking off.

The wonderful picture below was taken this morning when they were at our international airport in Kuala Lumpur with a short transit in Hong Kong then onto New York.

My relatives and friends in America are expecting them. I have presents for them carried by the Bio group…the bio group coordinator is no other than my PA Beng Kooi (BK) who has contacted my relatives and friends who are ready and willing to help.

I wish them a good trip and I know they will have one.

There are nine of them pictured here, and two more (Ruby and Jean Mei) have already arrived in New York and waiting for the group excitedly!!

    Revisiting this post, I’ve just realised that my father went to do research in China and Tibet, and then my mum, sister and I went to do research in the United States… well, my dad’s the only one out of us who speaks Mandarin and we’re all better English speakers than he is hehehe

    How humble for Rinpoche to say that he is nothing special because having done the USA research trip, I’ve learned that reincarnation really does exist. How else can you explain a 7 year old boy turning up to the temples every chance he gets, to stare at the Buddha statues and ask question after question? And not just turn up, but actually face the wrath of his parents (and a mother suffering from schizophrenia) in order to do so? Most 7 year olds would have given up (the scolding’s not worth it, etc) but Rinpoche did not and learning more Dharma and being near monks was all he wanted to do.

    And to say he is nothing special… how else can you explain Rinpoche being adopted into one of the few towns in the United States at the time to have Gelug temples?!

    Today, we met Ani-la Lobsang Drolma from Thubten Dhargye Ling Dharma Centre. She is a wonderful and sincere nun who was close to Rinpoche, as close as brother and sister. I truly enjoyed our meeting with her. She spoke of Rinpoche’s guru devotion to H.H. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche and Geshe Tsultrim Gyaltsen. It was inspiring and many a times, so beautiful, that it touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. I am blessed to have met her.

  5. Dee Dee Quah on Oct 26, 2010 at 1:41 am

    Dear Rinpoche,

    We are now in LA and about to set off for the day. Its exciting and I can’t wait to go to Thubten Dhargye Ling, the places you stayed in in LA and get on the bus route you used to take. This phase of your life, especially Thubten Dhargye Ling hold special meaning to you and I hope it will open my eyes too.

    Sincerely,

    Dee Dee

    Documenting Rinpoche’s life in the form of a book and a movie will inspire many people for generations to come. I’m very happy for Sharon Saw who has just joined the group. I know that it is a project very close to her heart and that her contribution will be valuable. I wish the Bio Group a successful trip.

  7. Dee Dee Quah on Oct 15, 2010 at 8:15 pm

    Day 2 – yesterday was Day 2. We visited RGL and went into the little room where Rinpoche received a lot of teachings from his first guru. Is it right to say… walking in the streets and temples you used to walk as a child, at times, I felt the imprints of your steps. I was in awe, … I don’t have the right words to describe it ..

    I am looking forward to everyday.

  8. Lim Han Nee on Oct 15, 2010 at 9:55 am

    Dear Rinpoche,
    I have been ‘watching’ with great excitement and avid interest every step of this epoch-making trip that 11 Kecharians and dharma friends have undertaken, with the kindness of Rinpoche.And now, even more excitingly, Sharon is going to join them!As their narration of their trip unfolds, I feel that we, who are here in KL,are there with them seeing everything and hearing everything through their eyes and ears.
    Last night, I decided to start this ‘journey’ into Rinpoche’s past from where it all started in Taiwan.So I logged into the earlier post detailing Rinpoche’s revisit of the place of your birth and the first seven years of your life’s journey.I cried and hurt inside of me because I was deeply touched by such great compassion of ONE who chose to be born into such a painful life and to suffer such tremendous hardship so as to bring dharma especially to us in Malaysia.
    Dear Rinppoche,may we, your students never ever forget, even for one moment, how precious is the dharma you have so earnestly brought to us, at all cost to yourself.May we never ever forget how beholden we are to you.

    • patsy on Oct 15, 2010 at 3:13 pm

      We are so lucky to have Rinpoche guiding us and helping us to make our worthless life meaningful and worth-full.

      I thank the bio group and Rinpoche’s never ending smses to keep us updated on what is happening on the opposite side of the globe.Rinpoche faced so much obstacles and difficulties during his younger days, the pain and anguish he had to face saddened me.

      Just imagine a young boy, hiding under the blanket doing his prayers, cooked and served his parents and their guests, the huge backyard that he had to mow and rake the leaves and all the abuses and beatings he had to endure. Yet this young boy did not give up or swayed away from dharma.

      It took a lot of courage for a young boy with no money and alone to run away. Yet this young boy finally made it after three attempts.

      We are so fortunate that Rinpoche is now here with us and we should never forget Rinpoche’s kindness in bringing the dharma into our lives. We should be grateful to our Guru who has helped us tremndously. We should commit all the way into bringing Rinpoche’s vision of Kechara World Peace Center manifest!

  9. Patrick Lim on Oct 15, 2010 at 9:38 am

    Dear Rinpoche,
    Words cannot describe my feelings for the past 2 days we have spent in the small town that you grew up. I let myself absorbing all of the events that have been happening the past 2 days. Day 1 – we met Sara. We walked on the street where Rinpoche played & we had the opportunity to see the house where Rinpoche lived. We visited the two temples. We listened to stories that are very consistent about Rinpoche. Recording all these events are opening my mind to possibilities. Possibilities that I am yet to be able to fulfill. I am looking forward to the days ahead. Thank you is a gestural words that I feel too limited in expressing my gratitude to be part of the team to research on your biography. Please feel my gratitude through how I feel and I, thank you from my heart.
    Thank you.

    Rinpoche’s history is so rich, there’s so much to find out about it. It is a big big honour to be part of the research team and a remarkable project to undertake with an amazing, knowledgeable and capable team. Being in New Jersey, tracing Rinpoche’s childhood has been surreal, very interesting and humbling – and it is only Day 1! There is so much more to come and I am looking forward to each day. Having this opportunity at such an early stage of my spiritual journey is truly a privilege. Opportunities like these are so rare and sacred, that I now understand what it means when it is referred to as having enough merits to undertake something. I often wonder why me, and I have no answer to it. The only logical answer (for me anyways) is through the theory of cause and effect.

    Thought of the day – Rinpoche’s childhood aligns and builds up to who he is today – he has never ever swayed away from the Dharma.

  11. Dee Dee Quah on Oct 14, 2010 at 3:29 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,

    I am truly blessed to be able to meet you so soon and be on this journey. To see the places you’ve grown up in, meet the people you’ve known in your childhood; learn, practice and live dharma along the way. For a newbie, I am overwhelmed at the generosity and care you have shown to us & the sharing of the liaisons.

    May my contributions live up to your good works and help bring benefit to others.

    Thank you Rinpoche & to my sponsor, Martin Chow.

  12. mima on Oct 13, 2010 at 1:29 pm

    What a very unique and amazing group! Bon Voyage!

  13. patsy on Oct 12, 2010 at 10:01 pm

    To the 11 Kecharians who are now in the States to do research for Rinpoche’s bio, I rejoice for your dedication and devotion towards this once in a lifetime opportunity.

    “Dharma is a career”. As Kechara grows bigger and bigger and more projects coming up, those working in Kechara will be traveling more and more. Whether we are on stipend or a volunteer, we must set our priorities right and “commit all the way”.

    Rinpoche’s bio will be an inspiration to many and I can’t wait for Rinpche’s bio to be published and the movie to be released.

    Thank you to this wonderful team and the sponsors for creating the causes for this project to take off!

  14. Anila on Oct 12, 2010 at 3:48 pm

    Without a cause there won’t be results. Becuase Rinpoche listens to his Guru’s advice to write a bio of his life and also Rinpoche believes and trust there is a reason to it. As Kechara is expanding very fast there are lots of people who wants to know more about the Spiritual Director. He feels this the time to start. And so many of his energetic students are ready to help him. When the bio of Rinpoche’s life is known to the World then there won’t be problem promoting KWPC. As the World would have known the founder already from his biography through the books and movies. I rejoice for all who are involved in this project.

  15. keng tan on Oct 12, 2010 at 1:46 am

    Undoubtedly when the Bio is published it will inspire everyone who reads it. I am sure this will not be any ordinary Bio for it will be filled with lots dharma teachings (if we read between the lines). I will be the first in the queue to get it.

  16. martin on Oct 12, 2010 at 1:11 am

    In years to come, Rinpoche’s Biography and stories of Rinpoche’s s journey will grow and become more and more crucial as an authority on living the spiritual life. Rinpoche’s dealing of the past, seeking of spirituality, practicing great guru devotion, Rinpoche’s words, thoughts, feelings and actions…all in the one book, will be the Lamrin,…alive and unplugged.

    What a blessing to be able to bring the book and movie to life and place Rinpoche’s teaching (by example) as one of the greats, of the Masters.

  17. Angel SH OOi on Oct 11, 2010 at 11:23 pm

    I totally agreed with Rinpoche and Datuk May, they said‘DHARMA IS A CAREER..!’ How fortunate for those, who has chosen to work in Kechara Organisation. Under H E Tsem Tulku Rinpoche’s guidance spiritually you will be benefited. And with Rinpoche’s kindness and loving care, He WILL MAKE SURE you and your love once are well taking care off.
    I rejoiced for those who have chosen to go to USA to do research for Rinpoche’s biography. This group of Rinpoche’s student has been working very hard and closely to Rinpoche, and planned since many years ago, it’ll be a meaningful trip to them.
    Most exciting is, can’t wait for Rinpoche’s biography and life story movie to be published!
    Love, angel

  18. Yee Ling on Oct 11, 2010 at 9:47 pm

    I am looking forward to helping the team with all the work that will be done in the US. Thank you for making this opportunity available and I am very excited. As Datuk May says, such an assignment is rare.

    May whatever contribution I make bring benefit to all.

  19. Datuk May on Oct 11, 2010 at 3:17 pm

    With all the preparations for US visas, flight tickets, accommodations and letters to Rinpoche’s friends and relatives, I must congratulate the team to have got it all and off to the most wonderful assignment of their lives, the documentation for the Biography of our Guru, Tsem Tulku Rinpoche.

    What is even more exciting is that this is only but the beginning, from hereon there will be pictorials, books and to culminate into a movie.

    For me,I admire how much Rinpoche will share with all sentient beings to bring Dharma into their lives. Rinpoche lives only for the Dharma and his life story will be inspiring for us to take on the spiritual part to benefit people and gain inner happiness even our efforts may be at a very low first step beginning.

    Many of the 11 people who left for USA, will realise that such a chance to travel for work do not happen all the time. This bring back to my mind what Rinpoche says “Dharma is a career” which will bring much satisfaction to those who think so. How true!

    Yes, those working in Kechara will soon be traveling more and more often as Kechara grows and grows.

    Thank you, Rinpoche and many others who sponsored, assisted with this trip.

  20. Sharon Saw on Oct 11, 2010 at 12:11 pm

    How fortunate this group is to go and see the actual places where Rinpoche grew up and meet Rinpoche’s relatives and friends. It has been a few years planning for this trip before it could come to fruition so I am happy that it is finally happening! Finally – those who have created the causes and enough merits to produce Rinpoche’s biography get to go! I very much hope that Rinpoche’s biography which will be prepared by those going on this trip will finally be published. And I can’t wait to see the movie!

  21. Kevin Toliver-Lyons on Oct 11, 2010 at 7:01 am

    I live in Hallandale Beach which is five minutes away from Miami…Please get in touch with me so we can meet. It is imperative for me and my family….Namaste. We can all have a great vegetarian meal Miami style!!!

  22. Josh Akers on Oct 11, 2010 at 6:35 am

    When I read the bio that was already posted…
    I felt so amazing because I felt there could be no other teacher in the world who’s life story could inspire me so strongly, and at the same time I could relate to nearly every Rinpoche has ever faced with some parallels to my own life.

    Rinpoche has been down in the worst dumps and yet has climbed to the highest mountains of life. I believe this project was a wise choice and it will be VERY BIG, and FAR REACHING.

    Du Fu (712-770 AD), also known as Tu Fu, was a prominent Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty, often considered one of the greatest alongside Li Bai. He was a poet-historian and a poet-sage, known for his realistic depictions of human suffering and reflections on the troubled times of his era. His poems, reflecting his personal experiences and the political instability of the time, have had a lasting impact on both Chinese and Japanese literary traditions.
    Interesting read.

    H H Kyabje Pabongka Dechen Nyingpo is by far one of the most popular and influential Gelug religious figures of the 20th Century. One of Phabongkha’s most important aristocratic students, Lhalu Lhacham Yangdzom Tsering relationship to her teacher and his lineage teachings goes along way .She is famously remembered for is her unwavering devotion towards her guru, HH Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche. Yangdzom Tsering’s Shatra family were ancient sponsors and students of the Gelug tradition and had apparently been patrons of Tsongkhapa the founder of the Gelug school. The life stories of Lady Lhalu Lhacham Yangdzom as mentioned by Joona Repo is indeed inspiring. How her life struggles with tragedies, and her devotion to dorje Shugden and the Gelug tradition throughout her life.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing of an inspiring lady.

    Looking at these pictures remained me of my first pilgrimage to Wu Tai San. With the blessings of our guru, we able to visit Wu Tai San a significant Buddhist pilgrimage site . In fact it never did come to my mind that I am fortunate given a chance to go as I am still very new then. Upon hearing about the pilgrimage I got myself register without much thought. The history and stories of Wu Tai San has inspired me to go there. Interesting the Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong of China are closely connected to WuTai San. Wu Tai San located in Shanxi Province, China renowned as the home of Lord Manjushri the bodhisattva of wisdom, with different emanations of the bodhisattva residing on each of the five peaks. The area is dotted with over 50 temples and monasteries, many of which are historical and architecturally significant. Those temples built over 7 dynasties housing numerous Buddhist relics. Wutai Shan also offers stunning scenery, including snow-capped peaks, forests, and streams. Wu Tai San is one of the four Sacred Buddhist mountains of China, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wutai Shan was known to be a mystical and sacred site inhabited by divine spirits, accompanied by unusual events, such as miraculous light appearances at night.
    We visited all the Holy sites, making offerings and doing prayers at each sites. We even have the opportunity to collect holy stones for future statue insertion or to keep on our altars. Times flies as our pilgrimage ended with so many stories to share with the rest.
    Thank you Rinpoche and writes team sharing those pictures.

    Padmasambhava, the Lotus-born Guru, also known as Guru Rinpoche is a legendary tantric Buddhist master who is widely revered in Tibetan Buddhism. He is seen as the second Buddha particularly within the Nyingma .He was a legendary Indian Buddhist mystic credited with introducing Vajrayana Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century. As found in Buddhist scriptures Padmasambhava birth is often associated with legends and prophecies. Interesting…… Padmasambhava is depicted with eight manifestations, each reflecting a different aspect of his miraculous activities. Interesting article .

    Milarepa Cave, situated high in the Himalayan mountain of Tibet, a sacred cave beckons pilgrims and spiritual seekers from across the globe. Milarepa Cave, a site of profound significance in Tibetan Buddhism, is merely a geological wonder. This sacred cave is also a living testament to the power of meditation and devotion. Its where an 11th-century yogi and poet who spent transformative years in solitary practice. Milarepa Cave graces Tibet’s rugged yet stunning landscapes, a region renowned for its deep spiritual heritage and breath-taking natural beauty. The cave’s importance is inseparable from a revered figure and the enduring legacy of Jetsun Milarepa a revered yogi and poet in Tibetan Buddhism. Milarepa Cave stands not just as a geological formation but as a powerful symbol of spiritual transformation and the enduring strength of Tibetan Buddhism. Reading this interesting cave had me Google for more information about this sacred cave. Numerous stories and legends surround Milarepa’s time in the cave, enhancing its mystical aura.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting post.

    I wanted to take a moment to share a recent experience with you regarding my Instagram account. Unfortunately, my account was hacked, which was both frustrating and disappointing. Losing access to something that plays a significant role in my business and personal connections was incredibly stressful.What made the situation even more challenging was discovering that Meta does not have a dedicated support team to assist users facing account compromises. With so many people experiencing this issue daily, it’s alarming that their recovery process is not more accessible or efficient.After numerous failed attempts to recover my account through Meta’s standard procedures, I was fortunate enough to get in touch with a member of the Meta recovery department, @Rothsteincode on X (formerly Twitter), and via email at rothsteincode@gmail.com Their expertise and guidance were invaluable, and thanks to their assistance, I was able to regain full access to my account.
    While I am incredibly grateful for their help, this experience has highlighted a major issue—Meta needs to implement better security measures and provide more reliable support for users dealing with these kinds of problems. The lack of direct customer support is unacceptable, considering how vital social media platforms have become for businesses and individuals alike.I wanted to share this with you in case you or anyone you know ever faces a similar issue. If you ever find yourself in this unfortunate situation, I highly recommend reaching out to @Rothsteincode for assistance. Hopefully, Meta will take action to improve their security policies and customer service in the near future.Thank you for taking the time to read this. Stay safe online, and let’s continue to support each other in this digital space.

    A great history of a great yogi which I do enjoy reading , reading over it again and again. Jetsun Milarepa was a famous Tibetan siddha, known as a murderer when he was a young man. Who later turning to Buddhism and becoming a highly accomplished Buddhist disciple. Generally considered as one of Tibet’s most famous yogis and spiritual poets, whose teachings are known among several schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Milarepa’s story is one of struggle, anguish, resolve, and triumph all of which make him recognizably. Practicing these teachings for many years in isolated mountain retreats in caves such as caves hidden deep in the mountains of Tsum Valley. That’s where Milarepa attained enlightenment and gained fame for his incredible perseverance in practice and for his spontaneous songs of realisation. Milarepa is said to be the first to achieve the state of Vajradhara in one lifetime. That’s incredible.
    Thank you Rinpoche for great sharing interesting read

    Visited this old post again, sharing the joy of Kechara House having made it into the Malaysian Book of Records for the Longest non-stop Lamrim Recitation. That’s wonderful , with so many people committing and fulfilling this great mission. The power of collaboration and unity in achieving goals, working together as a team making it a success into the Book of Records is amazing. Looking at those pictures in the blog tells more than a thousands words.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    H.H Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was a Gelug Lama, a sharp analyst, master of philosophical debate and a Tantric practitioner. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was a disciple of the third Trijang Rinpoche, junior tutor of the 14th Dalai Lama. Rinpoche was known as a strong, detached and wrathful lama having impeccable knowledge of all rituals, art and science. Thousands of Westerners have received and benefited from his teachings both in the West and in India and gave many empowerments and teachings as well. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche was renowned for his many actions of powerful magic . We are fortunate and blessed listening to the powerful voice of Kyabje Zong Rinpoche’s precious teachings as in this blog.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Visiting Tibet, holy Gaden Monastery is everyone dream and a once life time. Of course if we have the means to visit again will be great. End of December 2008 and early January 2009 our Guru H E Tsem Rinpoche with a small group students visited Tibet. Thousands of pilgrims, visitors and tourists around the world have visited this incredible holy land for the last 600 years. Tsem Rinpoche visited Tibet for the first time with an oxygen tank. I am fortunate to visit this holy place with my Dharma brothers and sisters years back.
    With our Guru blessing we went without any without any hitch. Visited most of the monasteries and could feel the powerful energies there. Looking at those pictures in this blog reminds me of trip there.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Interesting….. a ground breaking documentary by world BBC where everyone should watch. BBC did mentioned and documented that Jesus was a Buddhist monk and that he had spent some years in India. I would not know about this till I came across this blog. Many people most probably too. Interesting watch one should not miss. Jesus was a religious leader revered in Christianity, one of the world’s major religions. He is regarded by most Christians as the Incarnation of God. Historical evidence indicates that Jesus was well acquainted with Buddhism. Historical evidence indicates that Jesus knew about Buddhism. Other evidence, while perhaps apocryphal, indicates that he spent most of his so-called lost years outside Judea, possibly in Kashmir to study Buddhism exclusively.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    The Great Buddhas of Bamiyan were two monumental Buddhist statues built around 600 CE. A holy site for Buddhists on the Silk Road, historically a caravan route linking the markets of China with those of the Western world. The two most prominent statues were the giant standing sculptures of the Buddhas .It was the site of several Buddhist monasteries where monks at the monasteries lived as hermits. It was until in 2001, both statues were destroyed by the Taliban . Before being blown up in 2001, they were the largest examples of standing Buddha carvings in the world .Buddhism was eliminated in Afghanistan by the 13th century during the Mongol conquests. Sadly all statues depicting humans in Afghanistan was destroyed. They were perhaps the most famous cultural landmarks of the region, and the site was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Despite the Buddhas’s destruction, the ruins continue to be a popular culture landmark, where many locals, pilgrims and tourist visit the site.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting blog.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

  • What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    8 years ago
    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
