Inviting Lord Setrap To One’s Abode….& links to teachings
(By Tsem Rinpoche)
Beautiful 17 inches Setrap Antique style invited to the office and offerings done!!
Setrap is a fully enlightened Protector who has sworn to Shakyamuni to assist sincere dharma practitioners. He is the guardian of Kechara House and it’s members. He is very popular these days here as many people have felt his effects. Many ppl see positive miraculous changes in their lives. There are MANY TRUE ACCOUNTS of how Setrap has intervened to help here. Many incredible touching stories.
We are coming out with a easy to read and learn comic book regarding Setrap’s sacred origins and miracles soon. Kechara Media & Publications are working on it and it will be ready in a few months time. The comic book will have alot of appeal due to it’s authentic accounts and easy to absorb information about Setrap. The Life story comic book of Lama Tsongkapa we have done here is very popular. So Setrap will continue in that series of educational comics. Look for it! KMP dept is doing great works!!
Two days ago, Kenny Wong has invited Setrap for his family into the office. As he spends alot of time there, it would be a wonderful place to have Setrap for him to worship. Kenny in time will see more and more benefits when he continues his Setrap Practice with full faith and conviction. We are all very happy for Kenny. Chia was a tremendous help in assisting to set up.
The Great 5th Dalai Lama
I request Kenny to be loyal, firm and continuous with Setrap’s sacred protective practice. Setrap is one of Tibet’s leading protectors that has his origins from India. So as Kenny and family trust Setrap more and more, many blessings and protection will be bestowed. Recitation of Setrap’s mantra, kanshag, serkym offerings, and praise would be very very powerful.
The Great 5th Dalai Lama has composed a wonderful praise to Dharmaphala Setrap the swift One on a celestial Horse. That one would be a great prayer to recite daily to Setrap.
You can recite the Praise to Setrap composed by the 5th Dalai Lama here on kechara.com or tsemtulku.com.
See my talks on Setrap & I hope the talks will help you:
17 inches Lord Setrap Statue that many Kecharians have invited home from Kechara Paradise ( https://www.kechara.com/shop/ ). Very well made and can be painted to any style you like by Kechara Saraswati Arts Dept or KSA. I personally like it antique style or partially painted as you see above.

Setrap is wonderful, rejoice for Kenny and many who invited Lord Setrap home or to their office. I wish more and more people here in Malaysia and other parts of the world could practice Setrap and get blessed, benefits from Setrap and Dharma.
The wonderful Lord Setrap. If you have Him with you all the time, you do not have to fear the dark shadows of karmic obscurations for Lord Setrap will always light up your dharma path.
Setrap to the Chinese Mahayana path is the wrathful emanation form of Amithaba. And Amithaba is Chenreziz or Kuan Yin’s Guru. Setrap in the chinese form is venerated by the Chinese community universally. Anywhere or whoever you speak to if they are Chinese Buddhist and explain who Setrap is. They will definitely agree with you that this Buddha is very kind and compassionate. I am sure a lot of members have invited Lord Setrap back to their homes from Kechara Paradise outlets. And KH members know that if Setrap is the main Protector of KH. Definitely Setrap will help and protect them and their families also.
Thank you Rimpoche for your support, I was in bad path at the moment till I pray the buddhas lead me to your page I take the small setrap practice, I practice with full devotion.
And I know with full my faith in the buddhas everything will be fix cause the Dharma will shine everywhere.
Take care Rinpoche

“ KUDUS “ to Kenny Wong who has the wisdom to invite a fully enlightened guardian protector of Kechara House for his family into his office. As he and his family members are said to be spending most of their time in this office, it will be of tremendous benefits and protection for them to place Lord Setrap there. As affirmed by Rinpoche, many people see positive miraculous changes in their lives with Setrap practice been set up of course coupled with constant continuous Lord Setrap Protective prayers and generous offerings.
Many Kechara House members and their friends have experienced good blessing results after putting one in their home.
Congrats to Kenny .
I can’t wait for the Lord Setrap comic book to be ready and be on the shelves of book stores really! Like the previous edition of Lama Tsongkhapa’s lifestory comic book produced by our fabulous KMP, this will be a huge success and it will be interesting to read the true accounts given by devotees on how the Protector of Buddha’s teachings have helped them by clearing their obstacles or even saving their lives. I am sure by then there will be more devotees believing in Lord Setrap and start practising Dharma to benefit others. Lord Setrap has sworned to Lord Buddha that he will help clear the obstacles of anyone who is practising Dharma. Some promise that Lord Setrap has been keeping eversince
In Kechara House Setrap puja is most well attended because many have experienced the benefits from this practice.
Last night in conjunction with the celebration of HH Dalai Lama’s birthday, KH members commenced on a Setrap Retreat to complete one million recitation of Setrap mantras, 108,000 Serkym offerings and 54,000 prostrations.
Rinpoche advised retreat participants to engage in this retreat with strong motivation to –
1) request for Lord Setrap’s help in the swift and smooth manifestation of KWPC
2) for KWPC to be an institution that will benefit everyone on this planet, and
3) request Lord Setrap to inspire people to come forth and be part of this meritorious project.

Terima Kasih Rinpoche!
It was such a struggle to accept Lord Setrap.
The more I did my homework on Him, the more doubts plague me to the point of near no return. No matter if it was the eminent Trijang Rinpoche or Rinpoche himself who said that it was a wrathful but compassionate emanation of Amitabha Buddha, it just didn’t work.
I then realize it wasn’t a scholastic problem anymore, it wasn’t a mundane realm challenge anymore, it perhaps had to do with spiritual / karmic blindness…so much so that the mere name of Setrap evoked hatred in me for no apparent reason, even I was baffled & avoided it.
Since I had great & deep devotion to Amitabha Buddha before in my own Buddhist Trad, it baffled me even further. I was cool with the likes of Vajrapani, Yamantaka, Mahakala but it wasn’t about the outward forms…
So I asked for a sign…may Lord Setrap come to me instead, if He was real about it and have seen my struggle…
AND OH BOY! He came! He came! In the form of a pendant, some recent time back, in an unusual way….unexpectedly…
Thank You Rinpoche! Thank You Rinpoche! Thank You Rinpoche!
I received Setrap practice from Tsem Tulku Rinpoche when I first trip to Gaden Shartse Monastery at 1997 Augest. Rinpoche has kindly bought us to Setrap chapel and have audience with lord setrap statue and officially introduce his practice to me. Since that time, I have kept my Setrap practice until now.
Under protection of Lord setrap, I gain more faith with Buddha dharma and kept me work full time at dharma, which I always want to share his practice with others. In dharma degenerate time, most of the practitioner has many obstacles do their yidam practice. By doing protector practice, can able clear their immediate obstacle, stop collect more negative karma and collect merit for the higher practice.
One again, I am happy to assist brother Kenny setup lord Setrap altar at his office. May Setrap protection always provide right condition for him and his family for dharma practice until they all able to pull out from the samsara.

Dharma Protector practice is extremely powerful but unfortunately, little is known in the world. In a time when distractions are plentiful and when it becomes very difficult for us to practise Dharma efficiently and well, Protectors like Setrap are very, very powerful in helping to create the conditions for us to practise well and gain the results. Rinpoche has been exceptionally kind to bring this practice to Malaysia, where it is now being practised variously throughout our study groups in other states.
It is not just some arbitrary, random miracle; by our prayers and meditations on the Dharma Protectors, we are effectively creating the merit to support our own path. Protector practice opens our mind so that we can receive the teachings easier, absorb them faster and put them into practice quickly. Ultimately, he pushes us to be able to guide ourselves using our own wisdom and to solve our own problems. It isn’t just some god up in heaven who swoops down out of the sky – no, Setrap and all Dharma protectors help to create the causes for us to awaken our own potential, wisdom and ability to help ourselves and others.
There is a lot more information also in our Setrap box set (including a book that explains the practice, prayer books, an instructional DVD and a specially crafted image of Setrap to set up your own altar!) See it, love it, buy it here: http://www.kechara.com/publications/publications/vajra-series/setrap-the-protector-box-set/
I cannot wait to read the comic book! If it is as beautiful and ornate as the Lama Tsongkhapa book, it will be wonderful!
The Setrap statue is sooooooooooooo nice!!!!!!!!! And now it’s affordable too.
I love Lord Setrap. He always helps when help is needed. And with with strong Guru Devotion, Lord Setrap’s actions will undoubtedly be swift.
Thanks to Paul of Kechara Discovery who made the 1st Setrap statue available in Malaysia. I don’t think there is many anywhere in the world actually. It’s very well made and very affordable and was highly blessed during the Grand Setrap Puja this year.
Homage to the Great Lord who comes swiftly to the aid of those who call upon him!
