Winning article for “A Chance To Bring Home Medicine Buddha — For Free!!

 
Dear Tsem Rinpoche,

First of all thank you so much for giving out a chance to let your blog readers to win a Menlha statue. I would like to write in to request a statue on behalf of my grandmother, Teoh Siew Yong. All along she has been healthy and stays vibrant even after the passing of my grandfather. However, ever since she went to the United States to visit my aunt for few months, her health deteriorated a lot after she comes back to Malaysia. All she did was just sleeping and lying on the bed and things gets worse when she is diagnosed with Parkinson. Within a short period of few months, gradually she can’t do things normally she can like cooking, washing, goes around the market and even take a bath.

Few months back, I commented in one of the section of Rinpoche’s blog, seeking for guidance and any ways spiritually to help my grandma’s health condition. I remember, it was Jean Ai who took effort in communicating with me, clarify everything which I need to do and chant. I followed Rinpoche’s instructions e.g Menhla prayers, Amitayus, Protector Incense offering and others. Truth to be told, after I did that, my grandma’s health improved. Although she is still weak and unable to bath on her own, at least she has the energy to eat and walk a short distance.

Ah Ma

Last month my parents went for an annual consultation by a local medium in a local temple back in Ipoh, she told my parents she may pass away this year (2013). I am very very afraid and I couldn’t afford to lose my grandma. The reason why it bothers me a lot is because she said the same thing about my grandfather and indeed he passed away that year itself.

Your eminence Tsem Rinpoche, I read your blog all along and I do know you care a lot for your relatives and parents as well and you always gave the best to them and even your disciples. I feel there is a strong connection and I do feel that your kind advice and instructions to pray for my grandma long life really effective and I wanted to do more for her. Through email I told Jean Ai I wanted to invite a Medicine Buddha so I can do daily offering and prayers dedicated to my grandma. However, its kind over budgeted and I am trying to safe up for one. I decided to write in as I saw there is a chance to get a free Menhla statue and it will be wonderful if I have the good karma to receive one.

Nevertheless, I want to thank Tsem Rinpoche for giving me the instructions to follow for my grandma long-life and health, and I will dedicate the prayers to you as well in order to continue to spread the seeds of Dharma in Malaysia and other parts of the world.

With prayers,
Jonath

    Dear Jonath, hope that you and your parents are doing well and that your grandmother is healthy. Glad to know that you’ve received the statue, may the statue bless you grandmother so that she may have a good health and long life. Thank You for sharing your story with us.

  2. Lim Han Nee on Apr 5, 2013 at 1:31 pm

    Dear Jonath, I’m glad to have met you when you came to Kechara House to attend the Menlha puja last Wednesday. I guess you had to leave half way because your ‘Uncle Taxi’ was waiting for you.

    Yes, it is touching to see that you have such deep love for your Ah Ma. She looked after you when you were young and it is only right that you remember her kindness and are repaying it. Furthermore, you are repaying that kindness in the best possible way, by praying for her, and winning a Medicine Buddha statue to take home for you to pray for her and for her to be blessed in her mind-stream by making a connection with Him.

    As someone has already suggested, it will be good for your Ah Ma to recite Om Mani Padme Hum or Medicine Buddha’s mantra. The mantras have the power and blessings of the Buddha deity, who has collected three aeons of merits by accumulating them through virtuous actions and from abandoning non-virtuous actions.It is good to recite these mantras as they are calming and will help your Ah Ma to develop a calm and peaceful mind. This is important for her at this point and will help and benefit her tremendously in her last moments.

    I look forward to your coming to Kechara House again.

    Pastor Han Nee

    Dear Jonath Goh,

    It is very sad to hear that your grandmother is sick and suffering in pain…

    It is very good for you to seek advice from H.E Tsem Rinpoche through Jean Ai and then following exactly what he has asked you to do.

    You see Jonath, whatever Rinpoche advises people to do and they follow there is a guaranty that whatever or whoever you are praying for their suffering will either be decreased or in some cases the sickness/suffering would totally be gone.

    I feel very touched that as a grandson you have been so kind and patient to your Ah Ma and I see through that there is no reason why you should not have the good Karma to win a free Medicine Buddha statue.

    Also to me your motivation was a very true motivation to win the statue not to save your money or to benefit yourself but because you wanted to help your Ah Ma recover quickly as well as because saving up enough money would probably be too long.

    Thank you Jonath Goh for sharing your story about your Ah Ma and congratulations on winning a Medicine Buddha Statue.

    My prayers for your Ah Ma’s swift recovery!

    With much prayers
    Jutika Lam

    Dear Jonath Goh,

    Thanks for ur sharing, i wish that u may do Melha prayer for ur grandma. U may attend Melha puja and learn at Kechara House. May ur grandma get well soon and always bless by 3 jewels…

  5. Jean Ai on Mar 18, 2013 at 2:34 am

    Hi Jonath,

    I’m really glad you have received a statue…you had the merits to be around and have your long-standing wish fulfilled! I hope you will make plenty of offerings and dedicate it to your grandmother’s health (maybe you can use the money you were saving to get the statue in order to do this?). Your love for her means you are best placed to create plenty of merits for her, especially since she cannot do it herself 🙂

    – Jean Ai

  7. patsy on Mar 15, 2013 at 12:54 pm

    You are truly a loving and caring grandson. When you were young she must have taken good care of you, now that she is old and helpless you want the best for her and I am glad that you won a blessed Medicine Buddha for her. That is the best gift you can give your grandma along with following Rinpoche’s instructions to do Menhla, Amitayus prayers and offering Protector Incense for her speedy recovery.

    I sincerely hope all will be well for your grandma.

  8. Jessica Yap on Mar 15, 2013 at 1:33 am

    Dear Jonath,
    Firstly, congratulations on your winning. How blessed to be able to receive a blessed statue frm Rinpoche. I rejoice for you and your grandma. You’re such a kind and thoughtful grandchild.
    Like what Rinpoche has said previously, the best gift we can give our loved ones is not lavish gifts, but the gift of Dharma.

    Rinpoche is always so kind and compassionate! Creatin this ‘contest’ is just another one of Rinpoche’s many, many creative ways to bring Dharma to us.. How fortunate and blessed we are to be able to meet Rinpoche and the Dharma. =)

    May you and your family be blessed and protected by the 3 Jewels always..

    Thank you for sharing, Rinpoche!

  9. William C on Mar 15, 2013 at 1:22 am

    Thank you Jonath for sharing your story. I can really feel your sincerity in relating to us your feelings towards your grandmother. I can also feel your love for her. You are a filial grandson. The prayers that you do everyday and dedicate to her is the ultimate gift you can give her.

    Congratulations on winning a Medicine BUddha Statue and may Buddha bless and heal your grandmother.

  10. Albert Ratchaga on Mar 14, 2013 at 10:00 pm

    Thank you Jonath for sharing your story with us, your story told us clearly how filial you are, you want nothing for yourself but the best health possible for your Ah Ma.

    When we were young, we can’t do anything, our parents and grandparents are the ones who take care of us, educate us, play with us. They have spent whole life bringing us up, now they are old, it is time we repay to them, the best thing we can give them is Dharma, because Dharma is the only exit in this sea of suffering…

    Wish your grandma well Jonath.

  11. sarahyap on Mar 14, 2013 at 1:11 am

    Dear Jonath,

    Thank you for sharing the story of your grandma with all of us. You are an amazing grandson for caring for your grandma as you do now. I am very glad that you managed to win a blessed Menlha from Rinpoche.

    I can understand your situation. My grandmother is also ill from Parkinsons. It is truly devastating to see her struggle with everything… from the lack of mobility, to the aching pains of her body (particularly legs) that never end because it is nerve affected. I love my grandmother very much too and she is such a gentle lady.

    A few years ago, when I first know about Dharma, I encouraged my grandma to chant the mantra “OM MANI PADME HUNG”. At that time, we didn’t know that she has Parkinsons for many years and the doctors had misdiagnosed her all the while… it was only recently was she diagnosed with Parkinsons and it was already at a late stage… Being a degenerative disease, her physical body degenerated and not much improvements can be seen, i guess it is the reality of life.

    However, I am very glad that although she have so much mobility problem… at the stage of her disease, she can still walk with the aid of a walking stick or when people hold on to her. And most importantly, her mind is still sharp and can hold very witty conversations with us, something I think she values very much. I am sure it was from reciting the mantra of the every compassionate Chenrezig that has helped her to maintain her current state, and she continues to chant on a daily basis.

    When I read your story, it reminded me of my grandmother lol. I do miss her very much since we don’t meet so often as she lives with my aunt in a different state in Malaysia.

    Thank you for caring for your grandmother so much. Just like what Rinpoche always encourage us to do… which is Dharma starts from home.

  12. Bryan Ho on Mar 12, 2013 at 6:31 pm

    Dear Jonath,

    Thanks for sharing your ah ma’s stories with us. As a child or grands, the best thing that we can do for our elderly family members is providing them Dharma, it’s because most of them are weaker now because they have spent their whole life taking care, educate, teach, care and love us. But none of the above will help us or them during the time they need help or right before passing. Dharma is a kind of teaching that tell us the truth about samsara, which will never drag us down.

    I’m so regret that during my grandma paasing, I couldn”t make it any earlier to bring her more dharma, and she passed away with a lot of anger towards my grandpa, based on the anger that arise as from my grandma right before she left, I know she will not go to a good place.

    You are very lucky to have visited this blog side and started to get more involvement with Kechara or H.E. Tsem Rinpoche, since we have the merits to received the dharma, and we knows it’s good for ourselves and others, why not share with others?

    Now maybe your grandma is old and weak, but as a grandson you must make sure she is psychically and mentally well take care of, just like how she take care of you when you are young.

    If you want to know more about how to invite a Buddha back, here’s the linkhttp://goo.gl/YIr9w and I hope your grandma will be very fine soon.

    Thanks 🙂

    Dear Jonath,

    Thank you for this sharing about your grandma’s condition. You are a very loving grandson… which tells me your grandma must have been a very kind grandma. Congratulations for winning the Medicine Buddha which I am sure will give tremendous blessing to your grandma. But we must realise the nature of karma and following Rinpoche’s advice to a “T” to help your grandma collect a lot of merits for not just this life but more importantly the next life 🙂 How lucky you are to be able to receive advice from Rinpoche!

    And it is very fortunate for her that while your grandma is experiencing her karma, how fortunate she is to have a grandson that cares so much for her and is doing prayers and would dedicate merits to her as much as possible. We will surely include her in our daily prayers!

    Dear Jonath,

    Thank you for sharing your story about your grandma. You obviously love and care very much for her and I am happy that you now have a Menlha statue for her. The best thing about the prayers you make for your grandma is that they will help her now and future lives and that is the ultimate gift for her. i will also keep you and her in my prayers. Do come back to Kechara House again! 🙂

    Take care,
    Sharon

  16. David Lai on Mar 10, 2013 at 8:31 pm

    Dear Jonath Goh,
    If you had been following Rinpoche teachings for some time that he does not recommend consulting mediumes and such. Most mediums take possession of spirits and local deities and they are not reliable source of advice and help especially when it comes to the life and death of a loved on. I know there are many cases where they are known to be accurate but it is still best not to follow as they can hoodwink you to trust them and then they will show their true nature.

    You see, we cannot tell for certain and they do have certain abilities to see in the future but ultimately, the cannot help us as they themselves are stuck in samsara. The best would be not to consult them at all as this would also break our refuge to the Buddha. If we sincerely want to be Buddhist, we should only seek refuge in enlightened beings. In this way, we will never be tricked by these supernatural beings.

    • David Lai on Mar 10, 2013 at 8:32 pm

      I do offer you my prayers that your grandma recovers swiftly as well.

      • Jonath on Mar 10, 2013 at 8:50 pm

        Dear David,

        Thank you so much for elaborate information and yes I do not consult mediums that is what my family usually do. Thanks for taking the time explaining the important implications of consulting local mediums and certainly I understand the consequences 😉

        They just passed me this information which saddens me. I have requested advice from Tsem Rinpoche and I’m working on the Medicine Buddha prayers for my grandma. 😉

        And lastly thank you so much its been wonderful and very very kind of you to include my grandma in your prayers! Thanks A LOT for that!

        I’ve visited KH for the first time today and I am stunning to see such beautiful statues in the gompa, certainly it takes a lot of ppl and dedications to achieve/ build what it is today! seriously took my breath away !

        Jonath

  17. Sharon on Mar 10, 2013 at 8:16 pm

    Dear Jonath,

    During the presentation today, I did not get the chance to tell you what a filial and loving grandson you are to your Ah Ma. Your deep love and care for your grandma really touched me. I sincerely hope that all will be well for you and your Ah Ma.

    • Jonath on Mar 10, 2013 at 8:44 pm

      Dear Sharon,

      Thanks for everything today, sorry that I went off immediately after the presentation as the uncle taxi who fetch me needs to get back soon. I was relieved that he is cool waiting me for an hour. I certainly will come back KH soon as I wanted to join and learn the Medicine Buddha Puja and to get the Manjusri pendant that I’ve been eying on.

      I do hope I can still see you around in KH or perhaps in KP Sunway as I’m staying sunway and I do frequent sunway pyramid.

      Many thanks!
      Jonath

    Very fortunate for me and friends to have visited these four most worthy pilgrimage sites as mentioned in this blog post. Lumbini where the birthplace of Prince Siddharta Gautama later known as Buddha Shakyamuni, Bodh Gaya the place where Prince Siddharta Gautama reached enlightenment, Sarnath the place where Buddha Shakyamuni turned the Wheel of Dharma for the first time and finally Kushinagar the place where Buddha Shakyamuni entered Parinirvana. So blessed managed to visit all these Holy places just before the lockdown because of the covid pandemic.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Novka Kuaranita for this interesting sharing, so as more people be inspired to go.

    In the eyes of many people, giving doesn’t count unless it’s completely selfless. In reality, though, giving isn’t sustainable when it’s completely selfless. Tsem Rnpoche is one truly Lama who gives silently without hope of praise and reward. Rinpoche gives selflessly to awaken the sleeping humanity in one’s heart. Spreading love and caring everywhere as Rinpoche goes had inspired many of us. There is nothing more beautiful things we can do. If we ever had the chance of making a big impact on the life of someone else, we know how wonderful it can feel to help someone.
    A beautiful story of a selfless Lama who have a heart of gold.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Anila for this sharing.

    Rinpoche read all notes, letters, and cards that was sent to his labrang. It never comes to my mind at all whether or not our guru Tsem Rinpoche saw, ate, or liked our offerings. All I know that Rinpoche knew for sure what we are doing. I am one of the many that Rinpoche had gave me gifts through all these years. Feeling happy and blessed with what I received. Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands. May Rinpoche have a swift return.
    Thank you Anila for this wonderful sharing for many of us to have a better insight understanding of a great Lama.

    你时常都有选择的机会……那就做出正确的选择吧。就像马丁·路德·金所说的:“作正确的事永远都不会嫌迟。”

    当你发现很难去改变自己的恶习时,那就根据帕繃喀仁波切在《菩提道次第广论》里所描述的方式,长期持续地进行死亡禅思。那么你就能够感受到自身念头的转变。它始终会有转变的一天。目前,先专注于宗喀巴大师的修行,对祂生起信心,并时常供养祂……你将为自己累积足够的善因,来等待时机的成熟。

    Reading this article reminds me of my trip there in 2019 just before the lock down. I am glad I made it there as encouraged by our Guru Tsem Rinpoche to go on pilgrimage to Holy places instead of visiting places of interest. It’s a once a life time experienced for me. Went on pilgrimage to Tibet in 2019 and to Sera Choding Hermitage of Lama Tsongkhapa and few other Holy places as well. Sera Choding Hermitage was also the founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. It was one of Tsongkhapa’s principal retreat centers, where he gave many of his most important teachings and where he composed one of his most famous works.
    Fortunate to go to Kushinagar where Buddha Shakyamuni entered Clear Light , and seeing the Ramabhar Stupa,where the cremation place of Buddha Shakyamuni, and a colossal statue of Lord Buddha at the Matha Kuar feeling blessed indeed. Another holy place as mentioned in the blog is Wu Tai Shan. It is a popular pilgrimage as well. Mount Wutai with its five flat peaks is one of the four sacred Buddhist mountains in China. This Holy place is associated with the rising sun which signifies birth and renewal. Due to this interpretation, it is often regarded as the most sacred of the Five Great Mountains. Went there too much earlier with Kecharians friends. Minhitale Buddha Statue in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, another Holy place. Historically recorded as the birthplace of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Anuradhapura was also the center of Theravada Buddhism for many centuries and has been a major Buddhist pilgrimage site with ruins of many ancient Buddhist temples. A place worth going but I have not visited yet which I love to go some day.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing.

    A strong inspiring story that will touch our heart and soul. Reading and watching those videos in this blog post will definitely inspire and motivate us all. Bill Porter was an American having spent much of his life studying and translating Chinese religious and philosophical texts. He is a translator of Chinese texts, primarily Taoist and Buddhist, including poetry and sūtras. Bill Porter stepped into the ancient Chinese literary world, which changed everything. To many Chinese, he is known as Red Pine and the author of popular books on Chinese hermits and ancient poets. Many had wonder if the Buddhist hermit tradition still existed in China, not until Bill Porter discovered that the hermit tradition is very much alive. So many insights into life in China, and the Buddhist renewal after the cultural revolution the historical refuge of ancient hermits. Dozens of monks and nuns continue to lead solitary lives in quiet contemplation of their faith deep in the mountains. Inspiring each of them , living as simple as possible with what they have. That’s a beautiful understanding of Chinese culture, a rare happening , and should be cherished by all who love the Chinese classics .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Wow this great Lama the third Purchok incarnation the Lozang Tsultrim Jampa Gyatso who had served as tutor to both the Twelfth and the Thirteenth Dalai Lamas . He studied under a number of great masters and became a competent scholar at a very young age. His collected works covering subjects such as commentary on logics, rituals, and biography were compiled into texts. Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche .

    Dharma teaches us the ultimate method, the ultimate way of release from samsara. When you receive the Dharma teachings — when you receive the method and you practice it — you will be able to free yourself from sufferings.

    Stinginess is the ticket to a long stay in the sad and barren lands of poverty.

    Making happy offerings to enlightened and ordinary friends is a recipe for spontaneously arising generosity and the joys it causes.

    The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of the Greek sun-god Helios, erected in the city of Rhodes, on the Greek island. An interesting mythology behind this huge statue. It was built between the years 292-280 BCE, to honour the Ancient Greek god of the Sun, Helios recording to history. The people of the city of Rhodes in Greece were saved from a terrible siege and that’s where this statue was built. The Greek mythology was strongly influenced by the ancient Egyptian myths. Sound interesting. Rhodes has been famous since antiquity as the site of Colossus of Rhodes, and was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This ancient town is a step back in time and is one of the biggest best-preserved Medieval settlements of Europe. It’s the oldest populated medieval city in Europe with some 5000 people living inside the castle walls. Worth a visit to see for ourselves the beauty of this ancient town with many myth stories .
    Thank you Rinpoche and Gen. Lobsang Phuljung for this wonderful sharing.

    Each of us have a dark story to tell from the past. Reading again this interesting short posts of personal experiences with HE the 25th Tsem Rinpoche by Gen. Lobsang Phuljung . Black magic spells for revenge are an advanced and destructive form of magic that can manipulate or hurt other people. Everybody has been in a scenario where vengeance appeared to be the perfect idea for resolving a conflict. Even if we employ these curses and spells for revenge we are the ones who gets hurt as well. Negatively impacts our physical health by raising our blood pressure, trigger defensiveness and it turns into a destructive force that can harm ourselves. Life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forwards. May these life experience provide us the inspiration we need to go on in life while learning from it.
    Thank you Gen. Lobsang Phuljung for sharing this untold story with us.

    We should feel gratitude for all that was given to us. The highest giving would be dharma. From those who have given us dharma, we should show a humble and sincere attitude. Always remember their kindness by practicing and applying. Only with dharma can we find genuine lasting happiness. The person who gave us genuine happiness through teaching us dharma should be remembered, celebrated, respected and be shown gratitude always.

    The Sangha has kept Buddhist texts safe over the centuries and has interpreted and taught Buddhist philosophy. The Sangha has also provided inspiration and guidance on how to live a good Buddhist life. Being one of the three jewels of Buddhism, Sangha is an integral part of this community. We turn to these three jewels when we need to feel safety .Sangha is an equally important part of Buddhism where they provides a harbour in time of distress, and at the time of distractions. They help each other to make the journey smooth and spread kindness to everyone around them. It is believed that while walking the path, they will helps everybody to visualize goals clearly and aids in understanding the meaning of life in a better way. Beautiful article by Thich Nhat Hanh explaining the essence of a sangha.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing

    Yunnan is a province in southern China, bordering Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam as well China is a multi-religious country. Taoism, Buddhism, Islamism, Protestantism and Catholicism are the main stream religions in China. Reading this article again and again feeling glad as the practice of Dorje Shugden had spread to many more places. Showing that it is not a minor practice after-all. Its flourishing to the ten direction. Dorje Shugden stupa is located right in the middle of the beautiful and sacred snow-capped mountains. Yulong Snow Mountain is a famous scenic area in Yunnan, after all. Since then it had attracted many locals and tourist .Looking at those pictures tells all. I have visited Yulong Snow Mountain but not been to see that new monastery where the sacred stupa is built. Hopefully I could visit someday.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this 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

  • What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.

    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
