Touching

Dear friends, here is a touching short story of gratitude submitted by Caryl. It was touching to me and I wanted to share it.  

Tsem Rinpoche

******

 

The picture above is of my adopted mother Taylong Ly and I back in 2010. This wonderful lady played a major role in raising me after my birth father died.  My birth mother (still living) had many health problems that made her unable to care for me properly. She also got into a bad relationship with a man she met soon after my father died, a man who beat me repeatedly.  Taylong and her husband Sayeng with their two sons rescued me from a very abusive situation and took me in as one of their own, helping to raise me and made sure I never went hungry and never felt afraid. 

Taylong and Sayeng have both passed away, but they are always in my heart.  I miss them deeply,  but I am sure they are now in better lives.  We Buddhists like to talk about gaining good merits, and creating good Kharma.  Well, these two people definitely gained tons of good merits not only for what they did for me, but also all the good deeds they did for other people.   They were some of the most wonderful,  kind, loving, caring people I had ever known.  They definitely gained good merits and created good Kharma.  I am confident that they both have had great rebirths.

I will always remember them, honor them, and cherish them.
Their sons will always be my brothers.

 

This is Taylong Ly and Sayeng Touch in the late 1980s

    Touching indeed reading this blog again tells us more than that. Not an easy task after-all Taylong Ly and Sayeng had raised using her heart, time, patience, foresight, intuition to protect Caryl. She had made sure Carly never went hungry and never felt afraid and lonely. Taylong Ly and Sayeng were kind, loving, and caring so much so that Caryl had them deep in his heart. Looking at those beautiful photos say all.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing Caryl’s story with us.

    Its a heart warming story of this man Caryl Dumaine Lamont Munson been taken care by a kind and compassionate lady Taylong Ly .Who treated him as if her own child. Caryl was abused during his younger day and was helped by this kind lady so much so he always treasure much of the time spent together with this family. He appreciated and remembered of his adopted mother’s kindness, caring and love even though both of her and husband has seen passed away.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this beautiful story.
    We should always be thankful to those people in our life who are always there through thick and thin.

  3. Pastor Han Nee on Nov 6, 2014 at 3:53 pm

    This is a lovely story to warm the hearts of anyone who reads it. When kindness and compassion are given so spontaneously and freely, it sparks off a lovely ripple effect. It causes Caryl to show the same love and compassion to others that he had received from Taylong and Sayeng.

    Caryl remembers and repays the kindness of his adoptive parents by first forgiving and letting go of whoever or whatever had hurt or harmed him.In simple words that come direct from the heart, he has enunciated the abiding Buddhist tenets of love and compassion, forgiving and letting go.

    Thank you Caryl for showing us how to repay kindness and show gratitude by reflecting the love and kindness of those who had loved you, in your own attitude of love and kindness.

    It was touching to read Caryl’s story. How wonderful to show kindness to someone in need. We should never underestimate the small actions of given , it definitely will bring positive impact to receiver. We should appreciate and remember the kindness of others instead remember The fault .

  5. Edwin Tan on Nov 5, 2014 at 7:36 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing the touching story about Caryl.

    It is wonderful to note that he forgiven those who had hurt him in the past and he is doing more Dharma work, generating positive Karma.

    This story serves to inspire that there will always be a a ray of light in the darkest blight…

    Thank you.

    This is probably one of the shortest honest and touching stories I’ve ever read. It is so rare to find kindness in our world today, and when you are from a bad childhood, to have someone rescue it from that awful situation is rare but it means Caryl also has some good karma to have these kind people cross path with him to help him. It goes to show that kindness and compassion has no barriers, yes I agree with you Caryl, I am certain they received a huge amount merits and good karma. Because of them, you are here with us, fine, healthy, happy and spiritual too 🙂 It is inspiring to know that through their compassion, you also learnt how to forgive and rise above your pain to bring happiness to others. This is what is inspiring to me, for not many people can do this.

    It is always better to instil love, kindness, and compassion rather than guilt, fear and threats to children, fear be-gets fear and hence more negative feelings arises like anger, hatred, jealousy etc. which creates more problems in society. More crimes, more violence, more abuse. That is probably why we see so many youth/kids these day find killing an animal like puppies is like nothing. They don’t have empathy or feelings for another, and in fact enjoying it. Imagine what the next generation will be like if there was no kindness?!

    Thanks Caryl for sharing your beautiful story with us, it gives “hope”.

  7. KH Ng on Oct 28, 2014 at 10:52 pm

    Caryl’s story clearly shows that kindness and compassion is innate and once it surfaced can be taught by one to another and from that it can spread to others and eventually to many. His kindness and compassion to repay his adopted parents shows also that they were superb humans without agenda and this is reflected in Caryl.

    I rejoice that you are helping others through the Dharma.

  8. Cheng See on Oct 27, 2014 at 11:04 pm

    Caryl’s article moves me to tears. His adopted parents have been so kind and Caryl is lucky to have them as his parents. Caryl’s love for them touches my heart.

  9. Uncle Eddie on Oct 27, 2014 at 4:44 pm

    The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well-being becomes. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feelings for others automatically puts the mind at ease. This helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obatacles we encounter. It is the ultimate source of success in life to strive for! Thus we can strive gradually to become more compassionate and can develop both geniune sympathy for other’s sufferings and the will to remove their pain. As a result, our own senerity and inner strength will be increased. This is a real touching story similar to Rinpoche’s one with the compassionate “Mama Kwan” and her brother at Taiwan during his childhood days.

  10. Datuk May on Oct 26, 2014 at 5:29 pm

    This is an extraordinary story that the receipt of such kindness, and with his experience, Caryl related the essence and tenets of Buddhism.

    May Caryl’s efforts to benefit others like what his adopted parents did and spread the Dharma be successful and touch the lives of many.

  11. Joe P. Dorji on Oct 25, 2014 at 6:14 am

    Wonderful to see the pictures. I knew about it long before. 🙂

    • Caryl Dumaine Lamont Munson on Oct 25, 2014 at 7:41 am

      That is very true. My good friend Joe P. Dorji knows a lot about me and my story. He has been a supportive friend for a number of years, always encouraging and understanding. I have many friends, but when it comes to honest friends, and when it comes to Dharma friends, Joe is one of the best. You can always trust him to be a loyal and dedicated friend.

  12. Lucas Roth on Oct 24, 2014 at 11:57 pm

    This is indeed very touching and makes me feel happy knowing that there are people in the world that are not selfish or ignorant which is very good. One thing I would like to say is that she brought him in because she knew he needed help and looked over him, that itself is and extreme act of kindness and I hope she is well in her new life.

    I am sure this man loves her so much because there are many people that are brought up being beaten by parents when they are drunk or just cruel like in the movies except that it is real and happens. She couldn’t know whether this boy was disturbed or scarred in such a horrible way that he could not be tolerated but she knew he needed help and people like this that cannot see others live in suffering are very rare and wonderful.

    There is only one person that I can think of that cares for so many people and helps them through so many though situations, and that is our guru Tsem Rinpoche and he has helped us, taught us and cared for us so much through love and compassion because he will serve others before him and we love him for all he has done for us and others. He is the first person that I will think of when I think of people that make this world go round in a good way.

    • Caryl Dumaine Lamont Munson on Oct 25, 2014 at 4:03 am

      Hello Lucas. I want to thank you for your kind and understanding comments regarding my story. One thing I should have mentioned is that this family not only rescued me and cared for me, they also taught me to forgive and to show compassion for others. By their examples I was able to forgive those who hurt me and to continue living a happy life. Since they have passed away, I feel that the best way to pay them back for their kindness is by helping others as I can. I feel also that by sharing the Dharma with others, it is another way of repaying their kindness.

      So again, thank you Lucas for your comments, and thank you Dear Tsem Tulku Rinpoche for so kindly sharing my story. I hope it will serve as a message to help benefit others.

      With Highest Respect,
      Caryl Dumaine Lamont Munson

      • Jacinta Goh on May 23, 2018 at 4:32 am

    The Fourth Takpu, Pema Vajra Jampel Tenpai Ngodrub was a highly attained lama. He was also commonly known as Takpu Dorje Chang who had many authentic visions of the Buddhas. He had even received directly teachings from Buddhas. He had received direct visions of Tara herself. Tagpu Pemavajra had travelled to Tushita, the heavenly abode of Lama Tsongkhapa as requested by Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche where he received the complete cycle of teachings on Dorje Shugden. Tagpu Pemavajra was one such lama who was attained enough to receive these teachings for the benefit of others. He was instrumental in the development of the Dorje Shugden practice within the Gelug tradition. Wow he was able to astral travel to various pure lands and receive special teachings. Interesting biography of a great lama.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Amazing discovery a 2,000 year old Indian Buddhist document as it tell us how Buddhism took root in India. It’s the oldest Buddhist manuscripts yet discovered, dating from about the 1st century BCE to 3rd century CE. Found in the north-western outskirts of the Indian subcontinent an ancient Buddhist kindgom. The document, written on a birch bark scroll offers rare insight into the early history of Buddhism. Surviving manuscripts are rare only a few hundred are known to still exist. Understanding the history of the region helps us realize the significance of this scroll.

He has donated all his assets of billions to charity, making him China’s top philanthropist. Whatever profits he made from his business he donated to the Yu Pengnian Foundation which he founded. He became the first Chinese national to give more than billions to charities, scholarships, helping poor students. Self- made Chinese billionaire he gives away entire fortune to charity.

    Visited this stunning standing Manjushri which is located at the Manjushree Park at Chobhar, in Kathmandu, Nepal recently. Feeling so blessed able to see it , with my friends. Manjushree Park, one of most natural, historic attactive park within Kathmandu valley. Fantastic well managed picnic spot one should visit and not to be missed when one is at Kathmandu Nepal. Visible 33 ft. high black stone carved Manjushree statue .Manjushri is one of the most important iconic figures in Mahayana Buddhism. The powerful image representing ever-present wisdom plus the sword of awareness to cut off all delusion. An interesting story behind this Kathmandu Valley where mythology and geology intertwine.

    According to Buddhist teaching, prostration manifests the spiritual growth, faith of a person. In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, prostration is an important element of practice. Traditionally, prostrations are more than a show of respect for Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Making prostration is a basic part of our lives in Buddhism. They are a method to purify our mind, or the antidote for ego-clinging. One of the general benefits of prostration is that in the future we will achieve a good rebirth . Prostration is a very powerful activity that can clear away obscuration of our body, speech, and mind as well as clearing our past and present negative karma. A huge merits for anyone doing prostration with proper visualization as well as the proper motivation.
    Having seen practitioners doing prostration along the road at Lhasa and reading teachings on prostration on blogs had motivated me to do retreat on it. Its was during the MCO back in 2020, I did a prostration retreat then. Even though it took me a longer time somehow I have completed 100,150k prostrations . Now I am still continue to do but not as many prostration as before.
    Well even though this is an old post I would to congratulate those involved in the prostration retreat at that time. It’s a good that Kechara is have a teachings on prostration and retreat .
    Thank you Rinpoche.

    Religious freedom is one of the most fundamental of human rights. As religious freedom comes from the dignity of the human being. It allows different faiths and beliefs to flourish. It protects the rights of all religious groups and individuals. We must respect religious freedom and all religions must be tolerated. Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom. Respect for religious diversity is an essential element of any peaceful society. Offering of robes to Buddhist monks by the Muslim Mandalay Buddhist Monks is a very good example for everyone. Its such a wonderful way to foster religious harmony.

    Beautiful memes paints a thousand words . May these memes brings awareness to more people understanding the pain and sufferings of those Dorje Shungden’s practitoners all these years. Religious freedom should be allowed without discrimination and segregation just because of individual practice of faith. May His Holiness the Dalai Lama restore the harmony, peace and unity among all practitioners.
    Thank you Rinpoche and writers for these memes.

    Kalmykia, is a republic of Russia, located in the North Caucasus region of Southern Russia. This is the only region in Europe where Buddhism is the predominant religion. The republic is home to the Kalmyks, a people of Mongol origin who are primarily of Buddhist faith. Buddhism is considered to be one of Russia’s traditional religions and is legally a part of Russian historical heritage. The region has been home to many major world religions and ideologies. Tibetan Buddhism is the traditional and most popular religion among the Kalmyks. The Republic has many natural resources and wildlife over the centures. Amazingly the caspian steppes and semi-deserts have a favourable conditions for keeping sheep and cattle in pastures all year round. The land of Kalmykia has many natural resources with the hydrocarbon deposits of national significance, chemical raw materials and so forth.The culture and mentality of the Kalmyk people is rooted in the general Mongol and Oirat traditions. The historical, cultural and natural heritage of the Kalmyk people, their ancient traditions and folk crafts all contribute to the tourism development. It has attracted many tourists, the whole year through all due to its advantageous geographical position. With the area’s unique natural landmarks, specific ethnography and its historical and cultural environment, I hope I could visit this beautiful place someday.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Stella Cheang for this wonderful sharing.

    The Tian Shan mountains also known as the Mountains of Heaven is a large system of mountain ranges in Central Asia. The Tian Shan mountains are part of the Himalayan orogenic belt. One of the longest mountain ranges in Central Asia and the largest isolated east-west mountain range globally. This Tianshan mountains has been a key to the development and spread of human society and culture over thousands of years. Bands of smashed unique rock amid massive fault zones of Tian Shan are preserved to this days. The Tian Shan Mountains of Central Asia, with its varying unique landscapes, high passes, stunning lakes and the spectacular pyramid of Khan Tengri has attracted many locals and tourist in recent years. Picturesquely located on a cliff face overlooking a river valley are the ancient Thousand Buddha Caves. The discoveries of images of Buddha had proven that Buddhism existed in the AD’s. Amazing …looking at those pictures in this blog tells all.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing.

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

    6 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

Dharma sharing by Hue before we proceeded with DS puja & Rinpoche Swift Return puja. Hue is one of the long time Kechara Penang members and he comes to puja regularly. He shared that he truly believes that Dorje Shugden and Rinpoche always there guiding him. He shared how sometimes DS will give him hints to avert troubles ahead or to alert him when he 'misbehaved'. Hope many will come to know more about this powerful Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden aka DS. Having Dorje Shugden is like having a powerful ally that will protect us day and night.
