In today’s world, most people live in densely-populated cities. Constructed out of steel, concrete, cement and glass, these artificial environments may be attractive to some. Unfortunately however, man-made materials emanate trace amounts of negative energies that accumulate in our bodies over time. This, combined with the ever-present pollution in the air that we breathe, the stressful and sedentary lifestyle that we lead and the chemicals that are present in our food, eventually lead to the development of various types of illnesses of the body.

The claustrophobic lifestyle of the city can also induce depression, as we age and feel an increasing sense of hopelessness of living a life of utter materialism and self-indulgence. We feel helpless as we lose our health and mobility, and we inch closer towards our eventual mortality. It is no coincidence that torture is associated with bright lights, concrete and loud, raucous music while rehabilitation is associated with open spaces, blue skies, green grass and fresh air.

Hence, Kechara Forest Retreat (KFR) was originally conceived as a place of refuge and healing amongst trees, flowers and shrubs. Aside from the naturally-positive energies of a green environment, high lamas, monks and Dorje Shugden himself (while in trance of the Panglung Oracle) have consecrated the land with powerful pujas. Therefore, the land itself has become highly charged with healing and positive energies.

Gangchen Rinpoche blessed the stones over the course of a couple of days, imbuing them with healing energies. Click on image to enlarge.

In order for KFR to truly become a place of healing, His Eminence the 25th Tsem Rinpoche has conceived a number of ideas including the newly-opened Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain. Embedded within the fountain are semi-precious stones that were especially consecrated by Dorje Shugden while in trance of the Panglung OracleHis Holiness Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche, widely accepted to be a living emanation of Vajrayogini; our own Tsem Rinpoche and His Eminence Gangchen Rinpoche, an emanation of Medicine Buddha himself. When the water runs over these stones, it becomes charged with the healing properties of the stones and imbued with its blessings.

Bottles are provided for people to collect the water for their personal use. Some suggested uses for the consecrated water include:

  • Consumption by the sick to heal the body and clear the mind of negative emotions
  • Consumption by the dying to clear the mind in preparation for the final journey
  • Giving to heal stray animals and pets
  • Giving to dying or deceased animals in order to implant blessings and Dharma imprints to surface in future lives
  • Sprinkling on new Buddha statues and shrines as an act of consecration

An Introduction to Medicine Buddha

Medicine Buddha (Tibetan: Menlha; Sanskrit: Bhaisajyaguru) is described in the eponymous Baisajyaguruvaiduryaprabharaja Sutra, called the Medicine Buddha Sutra in English. He is described as having made 12 great vows on his spiritual journey towards enlightenment. On achieving complete enlightenment and attaining Buddhahood, he became the Buddha of an eastern Pure Land known as Vaiduryanirbhasa or “Pure Lapis Lazuli”. There, he is attended to by two Bodhisattvas symbolising the light of the sun and the light of the moon respectively.

The practice of Medicine Buddha, the Supreme Healer, is not only a very powerful method for healing and increasing healing powers for oneself and others, but also for overcoming the inner sickness of attachment, hatred, and ignorance. Therefore to meditate on the Medicine Buddha can help decrease physical and mental illness and sufferings.

The Medicine Buddha mantra is held to be extremely powerful for the healing of physical illness and purification of negative karma. One form of practice based on Medicine Buddha is done when one is stricken by disease. The patient is to recite the long Medicine Buddha mantra 108 times over a glass of water. The water is now believed to be blessed by the power of the mantra and the blessing of Medicine Buddha himself. The patient is to drink this water to be healed. This practice is then repeated each day until the illness is cured.

What is special about the Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain in Kechara Forest Retreat is that the water itself has already been blessed by the energies of Medicine Buddha. Simply drinking this water has a tremendous healing effect. Of course if you recite the mantra of Medicine Buddha, whether it is the condensed or extensive version, the healing effect will be magnified.

Iconography

Medicine Buddha is typically depicted seated, wearing the three robes of a Buddhist monk. He holds either a begging bowl or vase of medicine nectar in his left hand, resting in his lap. His right hand rests on his right knee, holding the stem of an arura fruit or Myrobalan between thumb and forefinger. In the Medicine Buddha Sutra, he is also described as having a bright and healing aura of lapis lazuli-coloured light. Within the Chinese tradition, Medicine Buddha is also sometimes depicted holding a pagoda, symbolising the 10,000 Buddhas of the three periods of time.

The 12 Vows of the Medicine Buddha

Here are the 12 Vows of the Medicine Buddha according to the Medicine Buddha Sutra. The Medicine Buddha made these vows before he became a Buddha and as a Buddha now, fulfils each and every one of these:

  1. To illuminate the countless realms with his radiance, enabling anyone to become a Buddha just like him.
  2. To awaken the minds of sentient beings through his light of lapis lazuli.
  3. To provide sentient beings with whatever material needs they require.
  4. To correct heretical views and inspire beings towards the path of the Bodhisattva.
  5. To help beings follow the moral precepts, even if they failed before.
  6. To heal beings born with deformities, illness or other physical sufferings.
  7. To help relieve the destitute and the sick.
  8. To help women who wish to be reborn as men achieve their desired rebirth.
  9. To help heal mental afflictions and delusions.
  10. To help the oppressed be free from suffering.
  11. To relieve those who suffer from terrible hunger and thirst.
  12. To help clothe those who are destitute and suffering from cold and mosquitoes.

The Benefits of Medicine Buddha

Most people think that Medicine Buddha practice is only for healing. However, his practice confers a lot of other benefits too, including:

  • We are freed from epidemics, execution, criminals, spirits; we create the merit to have complete physical and mental faculties; suffering is cut away from our lives; we do not fall to the lower realms in our next rebirth; we experience the happiness of both humans and gods; hunger, thirst and poverty is pacified; we generate wealth; we will not be tormented by beatings; we will not be harmed by tigers, lions and snakes; conflict is pacified; we will not suffer from floods; and we develop a loving mind.
  • We will always be born human in future rebirths so that we can practise the Dharma; we develop compassion; we purify obscurations to enlightenment; we attain the happiness of humans and gods; we will never be separated from our spiritual teachers; we will not be harmed by spirits, enemies or dangers in isolated places; we develop an enthusiasm for making offerings to the enlightened beings; we develop meditative concentration, mindfulness, strength, non-forgetfulness; and we attain wisdom.
  • We extend our lives; we develop material wealth; those who are angersome become loving; and we understand the importance of adhering to spiritual vows.
  • Our sorrow is pacified and we become happy; our bodies become bright and beautiful and we are protected from negativity; our relationships with family and friends improve; and we are healed of diseases.
  • We always see the truth and have faith in the enlightened beings; we are able to hear the Dharma teachings again and again; material resources increase; and we become content.
  • We remove malice from our minds; if we have engaged in negative actions, we become motivated to engage in positive actions instead; and those who are controlled by others gain their independence.
  • We create the causes to become enlightened ourselves; we are freed from being afflicted by our negative karma; we are freed from the torment of ruthless leaders; we will never go hungry and always have good food; we will be freed from the hardships of cold and hot; our wishes will be fulfilled; and we create the causes to take rebirth in the Medicine Buddha’s Pure Land.

Medicine Buddha Prayers

The following prayers can be recited on a daily basis to create a connection with Medicine Buddha and invite the energies of divine healing into one’s life. You can do either one of the prayers, both of which include the recitation of his holy and healing mantra.

 

Medicine Buddha Sadhana (1)

Going for Refuge and Generating Bodhicitta

Until I attain enlightenment,
I respectfully go for refuge
To the Guru, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
To attain Buddhahood for the welfare
Of all living beings
I shall make requests to the Seven Sugatas. (3x)

Visualising the Seven Sugatas

On the crown of my head sits the Tathagata Medicine Guru.
His body is blue, his right hand, in the mudra if supreme giving, holds
an Arura plant, and his left hand, in the mudra of meditative equipoise,
holds a bowl filled with medicine nectar.

On his crown is the Tathagata King of Clear Knowing.
His body is red, his right hand is in the mudra of supreme giving, and his
left hand is in the mudra of meditative equipoise.

On his crown is the Tathagata Melodious Ocean of Dharma Proclaimed.
His body is light red, and both his hands are in the mudra of expounding Dharma.

On his crown is the Tathagata Supreme Glory Free From Sorrow.
His body is pale red, and both his hands are in the mudra of meditative equipoise.

On his crown is the Tathagata Stainless Excellent Gold.
His body is golden, and both his hands are in the mudra of expounding Dharma.

On his crown is the Tathagata King of Melodious Sound.
His body is golden, his right hand is in the mudra of supreme giving,
and his left hand is in the mudra of meditative equipoise.

On his crown is the Tathagata Glorious Renown of Excellent Signs.
His body is golden, his right hand is in the mudra of granting protection,
and his left hand is in the mudra of meditative equipoise.

They all wear the three robes of a monk and are adorned with the major and minor marks. They sit in the vajra posture on seats of a lotus and moon.

Offering the Seven Limbs

Merely through the touch of the smallest part of your supreme medicinal plant, you cool the fires of the deepest hells, transforming them into lotus pools. To you, Assembly of Protectors of impure beings, with my body, speech and mind, respectfully I prostrate.

I offer a vast collection of offerings, both are actually set out and emanated through the power of mantra, wisdom, and imagination. I confess all negativities and downfalls, rejoice in virtue beseech you to remain, and request you to teach. I dedicate these virtues to great enlightenment.

Making Requests

O Great Assembly of Blessed Ones, please listen to me.
Previously you Seven Sugatas made prayers,
To fulfil the promises you have made
In this, the final five hundred years of Buddha Shakyamuni’s Teachings;
I request you now to show me the truth directly.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha,
Great King, Glorious Renown of Excellent Signs, to you I prostrate, make offerings and go for refuge. (7x)

The Tathagata Glorious Renown of Excellent Signs melts into light and dissolves into the Tathagata King of Melodious Sound.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha, King of Melodious Sound, Brilliant Radiance of Skill, Fully Adorned with Jewels, Moon and Lotus, to you I prostrate, make offerings, and go for refuge. (7x)

The Tathagata King of Melodious Sound melts into light and dissolves into the Tathagata Stainless Excellent Gold.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha, Stainless Excellent Gold, Jewel Radiance who Accomplish your vows, to you I prostrate, make offerings, and go for refuge. (7x)

The Tathagata Stainless Excellent Gold melts into light and dissolves into the Tathagata Supreme Glory Free from Sorrow.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha, Supreme Glory Free from Sorrow, to you I prostrate, make offerings, and go for refuge. (7x)

The Tathagata Supreme Glory Free From Sorrow melts into light and dissolves into the Tathagata Melodious Ocean of Dharma Proclaimed.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha, Melodious Ocean of Dharma Proclaimed, to you I prostrate, make offerings, and go for refuge. (7x)

The Tathagata Melodious Ocean of Dharma Proclaimed melts into light and dissolves into the Tathagata King of Clear Knowing.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha, King of Clear Knowing, who Fully Enjoys the Supreme Wisdom of an Ocean of Dharma, to you I prostrate, make offerings, and go for refuge. (7x)

The Tathagata King of Clear Knowing melts into light and dissolves into the Tathagata Medicine Guru.

O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha, Medicine Guru, Great King with the Radiance of a Lapis Jewel, to you I prostrate, make offerings, and go for refuge. (7x)

The Tathagata King of Medicine melts into light and dissolves into me. All sickness, spirits, negativities, and obstructions that afflict me are purified, and I become the Buddha, Medicine Guru.

Recitation of Mantra

At my heart, on a moon disk, is a letter HUM surrounded by the mantra rosary.

TAYATHA OM BEKANZEY BEKANZEY MAHA BEKANZEY BEKANZEY RANZA SAMU-GATEY SOHA. (1 mala per day, or more)

Dedication

Through my virtues from prostrating, making offerings, and reciting the names of the Assembly of Seven Sugatas,
May the supreme prayers that they previously made
The two sets of eight, the four sets of four, and the twelve promises
Immediately ripen upon myself and all other living beings.

Medicine Buddha Sadhana (2)

Meditation

Visualise yourself in your ordinary body, with your heart at the centre of your chest, inverted, pointing upwards. Inside your heart is a white, eight-petal lotus. At its centre is a moon disc, upon which is seated the Healing Buddha in the aspect of supreme transformation. His holy body is clear and in the nature of dark blue light, and he holds an arura plant in his right hand and begging bowl in his left.

In front of the Healing Buddha is the white medicinal goddesses, Actualised Wisdom; to his right is the yellow medicinal goddess, Simultaneous Wealth; behind him is the red forest goddess, Peacock’s Throat; to his left is the green tree goddess, Radiant One. Each goddess is in the nature of blissful radiant light and has one face and two arms. An Arura plant is in each goddess’s right hand, with a vase adorned with various ornaments in the left. The four goddesses sit cross-legged, not in the full vajra position but in the aspect of offering respect to the Healing Buddha.

Then make this request:

O DESTROYER, COMPLETE IN ALL QUALITIES AND GONE
BEYOND AND YOU FOUR MEDICINAL GODDESSES.
PLEASE PACIFY IMMEDIATELY THE ILLNESSES THAT AFFLICT ME
NOW AND HELP ME AVOID ALL FUTURE SICKNESS.

Light rays of the appropriate colour emanate from each of the five deities at your heart. Your heart and body are full of blissful light, which perfectly purifies all diseases, spirit harms, and negative actions and their imprints. Beams of five coloured light radiate from all the pores in your body, while nectar flows down from the Healing Buddha’s begging bowl and the vases held by the four goddesses, completely filling your heart and body. Generate the strong recognition that you have vanquished disease forever and will never be sick again. While concentrating single-pointedly on this visualization, recite the short or long Healing Buddha mantra seven, twenty-one, one hundred and eight, or more times.

Short Mantra of Medicine Buddha

TAYATHA OM BEKANZEY BEKANZEY MAHA BEKANZEY BEKANZEY RANZA SAMU-GATEY SOHA.

Long mantra of Medicine Buddha

OM NAMO BHAGAWATE BEKANZEY GURU BENDURYA PRABHA RANZAYA TAYATHA ARHATE SAMYAKSAM BUDDHAYA TAYATHA OM BEKANZEY BEKANZEY MAHA BEKANZEY RANZA SAMU-GATEY SOHA

If you are sick, after you have finished reciting the mantra, put some saliva in your left palm, rub it on the tip of your right ring finger, place the tip of this finger at the entrance of your right and left nostrils, where the so-called All-Doing King Nerve can be found, and apply the saliva to the afflicted parts of your body. Then recite as many mantras of the Sanskrit vowels and consonants as possible, along with the mantra of the Heart of Dependent Arising.

Sanskrit Vowels

OM A AA I II U UU RI RII LI LII E AI O AU AM AH SOHA

Sanskrit Consonants

OM KA KHA GA GHA NGA / TSA TSHA DZA DZHA NYA / TA THA DA DHA NA / TA THA DA DHA NA / PA PHA BA BHA MA / YA RA LA VA / SA SHA SA HA KSHA SOHA

Is this not just beautiful? This is exactly what Kechara Forest Retreat is envisioned to be, which is a place where every corner is filled with something to benefit others. Here, people can see Medicine Buddha and plant seeds of enlightenment in their minds. They can recite his holy mantra and drink water that has been blessed by him, many lamas and by Dorje Shugden himself.

Caption

We hope to build a larger fountain in the future so that this can be made available to more people. Medicine Buddha, due to the vows he made before becoming enlightened, is very powerful and potent for blessing us to heal from diseases of the body and mind. May everyone be healed, happy and free from suffering.

    Kechara Forest Retreat (KFR) a place of refuge and healing located at Bentong, Pahang. The land with healing and positive energies suits those wanted to get away from the busy city. The naturally-positive energies of a green environment. With the land been consecrated by high lamas, monks and Dorje Shugden while in trance of the Panglung Oracle with powerful pujas. Having a Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain built at KFR is wonderful , which benefited many locals and tourist visiting KFR. The Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain in KFR where the water itself has already been blessed by the energies of Medicine Buddha. Hence simply drinking this water has a tremendous healing effect. HE Gangchen Rinpoche, an emanation of Medicine Buddha had blessed the semi-precious stones, placed at the fountain. It was then consecrated by Dorje Shugden, H H Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche a living emanation of Vajrayogini, and our Lama Tsem Rinpoche as well.
    Than you Rinpoche with folded hands

    This Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain was built in such away that it will deliver healing waters which were energized with natural crystals blessed by High Lamas. Those natural crystals were imbued with the healing energies of Medicine Buddha and Dorje Shugden.
    With the new healing fountain, visitors can bring home the holy healing energy in a bottle. Thank you very much Rinpoche and Kechara for making this Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain available for everyone.

    Healing fountain at Kechara Forest Retreat is one of the popular visiting areas that crowed many people to pay homage and make wishes. One of the must-do things at this holy place is to collect blessed water from the unique and beautiful boulders. The water was energized with natural crystals blessed by High Lamas and imbued with the healing energies of Medicine Buddha and Dorje Shugden. What you need to do is to get the bottle from the boulder cabinet and fill it with the blessed water. You can make a donation of minimum of RM10 at the donation box next to it.

    I have heard that many people were benefited from the water and many returns to collect more. This is why H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche created Kechara Forest Retreat which is to benefit many people in various ways for various needs.

    Do stop by at Healing Fountain to circumambulate Medicine Buddha and collect the blessed water.

    All enlightened beings are worthy of homage and worship. They are the best beings to take refuge in and we should offer them our prayers as we can put our full confidence in them. Of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, I personally find that Manjushri is extremely important. This is because what keeps us in samsara (cyclic rebirth) is our total ignorance and misunderstanding of the reality of existence. What is necessary to penetrate this deep ignorance that keeps us bound in a perpetual state of reincarnation is wisdom. We need many types of wisdom which can be acquired by relying on Manjushri as our yidam (meditational deity). By focusing on his meditation, practice, mantra and path we can gain wisdom in order to have the tool to penetrate the reality of existence. Therefore, Manjushri is an extremely important Buddha for us to focus on and take refuge in.

    每一位觉者都能成为我们朝拜、膜拜的对象。他们是我们至高、至好的皈依,我们应该向他们做祈请,并且对他们生起全然的信念。在众佛菩萨之中,我个人认为文殊菩萨极为重要。这是因为使我们身陷娑婆(轮回)的是我们自身的无明,以及对实相的曲解。智慧是一种必要,它能穿透我们深不见底的无明,那个使我们受困于无止境投生的无明。我们需要多种智慧,而依止文殊菩萨作为我们的本尊,即能使我们成就多种智慧。透过文殊菩萨的观想、修持法门、心咒及修行道路,我们能成就智慧,拥有了知实相的“器具”。故此,专注于文殊菩萨的修持法门、皈依他,对我们而言都极为重要。

    My 15 yr old Labrador, Ralph refused to eat his meals after my son went back to school overseas. Might be missing Matt we are not sure. Ralph became weak and could not even stand up. I gave him bits of Medicine Buddha blessed water and after the third day he started to eat a little. We continued each day to pour some blessed water into his water bowl. That was a week ago and now he is much stronger. I was so happy to see him trot out to the garden to enjoy the morning sun.
    Thank you Rinpoche for your immense compassion, always thinking of ways on how to help reduce the sufferings of all beings ! With folded hands my deepest gratitude to my Guru !!

    This Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain is dedicated to all sentient beings who are suffering from sickness of the body, speech and mind. May this fountain bring relief to all beings who are ill and may its sacred waters heal all disease. May it also purify their minds so that they eventually achieve the body, speech and mind of a fully enlightened Buddha.
    这将造福很多人,无论身;心;灵都得于疗愈。

    Thank you for adding the teaching on Medicine Buddha and all the information on Medicine Buddha, the benefits and Sadhana. We are very fortunate to receive these and it is available on the internet for everyone to use.

    Amazing and beautiful structure of this healing fountain at Kechara Forest Retreat. Just by looking at it I felt a sense of calmness . I am fortunate to be there when the beautiful Medicine Buddha statue were consecrated. Having this Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain is indeed benefits for many and many more to come as they visit this beautiful place . Rinpoche has conceptualized Kechara Forest Retreat , creating the holy and sacred land, Kechara Forest Retreat in Bentong. This Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain was built in such away that it will deliver healing waters which were energised with natural crystals blessed by High Lamas. Those natural crystals were imbued with the healing energies of Medicine Buddha and Dorje Shugden.
    May those who come to this Holy place…..Kechara Forest Retreat be free of suffering and healed of whatever sickness.
    Thank you Rinpoche , team and those kind sponsors in making this possible

    Thank you Rinpoche for conceptualizing and creating the holy and sacred land, Kechara Forest Retreat in Bentong, Pahang as a place for all people to engage in meditation, prayers, healing activities as well as other forms of spirituality such as voluntary works, maintaining the natural environment and facility within the holy land, and rescuing the animals in need within the vicinity of that area. However, in the current degenerate age, not all people could have the spiritual merits to fully understand the importance of consistent Dharma practice that can purify the negative karma, which can come to us in the form of inner or outer sickness, pain or terminal illness. Hence, through the compassion and blessing from His Holiness Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche (an emanation of Vajra Yogini), His Eminence Gangchen Rinpoche (an emanation of Medicine Buddha), our own Guru, His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche and Dorje Shugden in trance of the Panglung Oracle, the semi-precious stones were blessed by these high lamas that make Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain available for many lay people and practitioners to receive the healing energies directly from the blessed water.

    By consuming the blessed water imbued with enlightened energies from the high lamas, the Dharma seeds can be planted into lay peoples’ minds and practitioners as well so that the clarity can be instilled to eliminate the delusions and engage more in Dharma practice and Dharma works until achieving the realization of emptiness, higher attainments and eventually gaining the enlightenment to become Buddha. No sentient beings should be ignored or left behind from receiving the blessing from the Three Jewels as the cycle of sufferings will never end if one continues to dwell in the delusion of samsara.

    Thank you with folded hands,
    kin hoe

  12. Cc on Sep 10, 2018 at 11:55 pm

    ???Thank you Rinpoche, the team and sponsored for having medicine Buddha and healing fountain.

    Indeed fortunate to have in at KFR and may it benefit more people and lead them to dharma.

  13. Yee Yin on Sep 10, 2018 at 9:55 pm

    Wow, a healing fountain is now available in Kechara Forest Retreat, what a great news. Kechara Forest Retreat is highly energised with holy and sacred energy as Tsem Rinpoche and many other high lamas have performed countless pujas here. With the new healing fountain, visitors can bring home the holy healing energy in a bottle.

    We are extremely lucky in Malaysia because Tsem Rinpoche has built KFR for the public to come and collect merits and to heal. Nowadays, materially we are very comfortable, but many of us are also not well emotionally or mentally due to the pressure from our daily life. Of course, more and more people are also affected by physical illness.

    The divine power does exist if we have faith. When we pray to the Buddha sincerely for the benefit of others, he will help provided we have the karma to be helped. Therefore, it is very important to create the karma. We can start to create this karma by coming to KFR to make offering regularly and learn to be generous. When we give without condition, things will somehow come back to us.

  14. Chris on Sep 10, 2018 at 9:22 pm

    Thank you, Rinpoche for the healing fountain in Kechara Forest Retreat. With this latest addition to Kechara Forest Retreat, many will be benefited by this healing water. Rinpoche had always said that Kechara Forest Retreat will be a place of healing always. Those who come here will heal mentally and physically.

    Many have come to Kechara Forest Retreat with their illness in the seek for hope and a positive outcome for their body. This water will help them tremendously by healing their troubled minds worrying over their sickness and heal their body as well.

    May those who come to Kechara Forest Retreat be healed of their problems and suffering.

  15. Sofi on Sep 9, 2018 at 9:24 pm

    This Medicine Buddha healing fountain is so needed in these times of so much pollution and people getting sick so easily. Everyone will surely know a few persons of terminal illness. Illness also seem to take longer to heal too. I am sure that this highly blessed healing fountain will be one of the major attraction not to be missed by all the visitors. As with Tsa Tsa Ong’s comment, miracles are already happening. Rinpoche always puts his care into action to benefit others and its powerful teaching for us to follow. Thank you Rinpoche.

  16. Pastor Han Nee on Sep 9, 2018 at 9:13 pm

    A Medicine Buddha shrine, in the Kechara Forest Retreat – a sanctuary of peace , highly charged with positive energies of healing – with a healing fountain whose water is energised by crystals consecrated by Dorje Shugden and blessed by great Masters , including Gangchen Rinpoche, the emanation of Medicine Buddha!

    The benefits of the healing water are manifold. Besides its power of healing both humans and animals of disease, for humans, there is healing of the mind and purification of negativities. For the dying , partaking of this water prepares him or her for the final journey. For dying animals, it will implant seeds of dharma that will open up in future lives.
    Recently, when my husband and I went on a short pilgrimage to the holy shrines of Kechara Forest Retreat, we visited this shrine of sacred blessed Medicine Buddha.

    Offering light, praying, chanting mantras and circumambulating, and afterwards partaking of the holy healing water, I was overwhelmed by a powerful feeling of healing and peace. Chanting His sacred mantra and engaging in the weekly Kechara House Medicine Buddha puja seemed to come together here and resonate within me in that one moment!

  17. Sharon Ong on Sep 9, 2018 at 5:14 pm

    The Healing Water is truly powerful. Besides a few healing stories that I have heard, I have personally witnessed how a splash of this blessed water has healed my older son’s eczema that was bugging him for some weeks now. He showed me the day after he splashed some on his neck and true enough, his skin looks normal without any traces of eczema.

    We are indeed very fortunate to have this right here in Malaysia. The Healing Water is powerful due to the blessed semi-precious stones that were blessed by HE Gangchen Rinpoche who is none other than Medicine Buddha himself.

    Thank you, Rinpoche and everyone who made this possible.

  18. Jacinta on Sep 9, 2018 at 4:04 pm

    Medicine Buddha ~ definitely on my Bucket list for pilgrimage and circumambulation. Will recommend others to look out for this spot and also to invite back the healing water. Absolutely essential for optimal healing.

    Thank you Rinpoche and all Kecharians in making this possible.

  19. Tsa Tsa Ong on Sep 8, 2018 at 9:33 pm

    I was eagerly looking forward for this auspicious event to be on the blog. And I’m very glad it is as I have a positive feedback to give from a dhama sister from Ipoh. On the Consecration of the Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain – 25/08/18 , KISG had a pilgrimage trip and my dharma sister was having a slightly bloated stomach as usual. She was a bit doubtful whether the Medicine Buddha blessed water is really effective? Anyway, after she drank it from the day itself until now her tummy has no problems anymore. And she told me she couldn’t believe it and asked me to ask my sister vivian to bring some back for me. Thank you very much Rinpoche and Kechara for making this Medicine Buddha Healing Fountain available for everyone ????

    Due to the Dorje Shugden controversy many practitioners are still oppressed due to their choice of religion. Yet there are complaisant, and obliging people too who barely understand the situation, poorly informed of the issue and behave in a way they knew what’s going on regarding the ban on Dorje Shugden. There are many good bits of wisdom and worthy words in this article. Well-intentioned people make mistakes, lots of them. Mistakes must be expected and being held accountable for. Oppression will still exist no matter how compassionate sharing with others. If we are willing to risk making mistakes we can still do something. We must constantly try to find out ways to use our privilege to push forward the voice of the oppressed. Do not allow ourselves to be immobilized by lack of knowledge.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Sarah for this sharing.

    Inspiring read of Scott Neeson a most influential person in the movie industry,walked away from Hollywood to start a charity. Left everything he had built,been famous, wealthy and living a life of luxury for the sake of those children living in the slump in Cambodia. He decided to leave Hollywood behind and moved to Cambodia and founded Cambodian Children’s Fund . It was on a trip to Phnom Penh, Scott saw hundreds of children and their families living and working on the Steung Meanchey garbage dump, one of the most toxic environments. It was a moment that changed his life, helping thousands of vulnerable children and their families escape a world of forced labour, child trafficking and desperate poverty into safety and independence. From being a self-serving person, to an extremely giving person truly inspiring. Scott has been living in Phnom Penh where his journey still captivates, inspires and bewilders people from all over the world.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this inspiring post

    Vairochana Shugden, pacifying form of Dorje Shugden is revered by many for his ability to purify one’s negative karma, pacify natural disasters and calamities. And is especially efficacious for overcoming illness and disease as well. Shize or Vairochana Shugden is the emanation of Dorje Shugden who embodies the enlightened activity of pacification. Shize’s practice is very effective in helping us to receive prophecies or develop clairvoyance. Shize’s practice is excellent for calming ourselves down and increasing our merits. His practice results in our minds becoming much happier and being alleviated from depressions. Wow we can also rely on Shize’s practice to overcome serious illnesses. It can also be engaged where the area, there are a lot of natural disasters. On the whole its practice has many benefits. When we do the practice correctly, with good motivation, Shize will bless and guide us.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great teachings on Shize who is a direct emanation of Dorje Shugden who is none other than the enlightened Manjushri.

    Interesting article. I never thought meditation can help oneself quit smoking without consumption of medication or drugs. According to an article in The Buddhist Review, not smoking is a result of developing calm and reducing clinging through authentic Dharma practice. Mindfulness-based interventions can help people learn to pay attention to and work with negative feelings, cravings, and other symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. By focusing on our breathing the mind becomes calm and single-pointed. Many are aware of the health risks and addictive properties of nicotine that are harmful. Buddhism is very effective to inspire transformation in people. Good read of how a Yale psychiatrist bringing together neuroscience and Buddhist practices to help people overcome their addictions. Thank you Dr. Judson for the great research work.

    Trode-khangsar a 400 year old Dorje Shugden Temple in Lhasa, had me having great memories. Having a privileged to visit it in May 2019,with my Dharma brothers and sisters. It such a Holy Temple with great stories behind it . Located in Lhasa, that is over 300 years old which is dedicated to the controversial protector deity Dorje Shugden. The Temple is a Gelugpa monastery of Tibetan Buddhism, built in the 17th century by the Fifth Dalai Lama. The Great 5th Dalai Lama composed a praise to Dorje Shugden and created a statue to honour and recognize him as a Dharma protector as apology. Trode Khangsar itself is now registered as a national heritage memorial. That’s awesome as more and more people will get to know about this Holy temple. Merely by looking at those fading murals and Holy statutes is a blessing for all who came to visit this Trode-khangsar. A place worth visiting.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    The concept of rebirth has a long association with Buddhism. Rebirth in Buddhism refers to the teaching that the actions of a sentient being lead to a new existence after death, in an endless cycle called saṃsāra. One will begins a new life in a new body that may be human, animal or spiritual depending on the moral quality of the previous life’s actions. What they are reborn as depends on their actions in their previous life rather kamma. As a Buddhist we should believe in rebirth but still many people don’t . Buddha taught us that choices of rebirth make a difference and can shape many lifetimes. Buddhists believe that nothing that exists is permanent and everything will ultimately cease to be. There is a belief in rebirth

    Against the odds two inspiring nuns fought all the way to become ordained, fighting for their rights to practice Buddhism . Interesting read of how they went through , bringing equality for women in Thailand. Buddhism is the predominant religion in Thailand. Officially, only men can become monks and novices in Thailand under a Buddhist order. The country does not recognize female monks or novices. In recent years, more Thai Buddhist women seeking to become full-fledged female monks, have been defying the tradition getting ordained overseas, in Sri Lanka or India. Buddhist women have been fighting for years for equality and social acceptance in Thailand. They just can’t be ordained by Thai monks. Ven. Dhammananda, 68 year old former university lecturer and activist became Thailand’s first Theravadin bhikkhuni after going the odds. Inspiring read biography on Ven. Dhammananda and Ven. Dr. Lee. They had gone through great hardships, discrimination and against the many odds in bringing equality to women in Buddhism in Thailand.

    The unseen things are spiritual realities that are eternal and invisible to our physical eye. There are many forces and phenomena that are not visible to the naked eye. There are many things that humans cannot see yet there are some could see. For what is can be seen is only. Things do exist even we can’t see, believing their existence is our choice. Things that we can’t see in the world opens up a curiosity and exploration by some. Whether through scientific inquiry, or spiritual exploration, the pursuit of knowledge about the unseen can lead to profound insights about ourselves and the universe.
    Malacca City is the historic capital of the coastal state of Malacca, in Malaysia serving as a link between east and west for over 500 years. Famous for breath-taking sights with rich heritage, ancient dark culture and history with many old centuries buildings with an interesting past and a colourful ghost story. For that reason alone it is worth visiting as is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site owing to its well-preserved historical center. There’s many historical mansions been passed down generation to generations and with many ghostly sighting by the locals and visitors. There’s the reason many unseen beings loitering and attached to these places. Such an interesting and incredibly creepy watching the video in this blog host by Li Kim. Li Kim had done a great work all along with her team to share with readers about our historic Malacca .
    Thank you Rinpoche and Li Kim for this sharing.

    Vajrayogini symbolizes the wisdom of all enlightened beings and embodies the impulse of inspiration that drives the Buddhas to attain the perfect enlightenment. Vajrayogini is one of the most effective practices for people today. We can make offerings such as gold or jewel offerings and so on. The offering of gold helps us to collect merits, spiritual attainments, gain a deeper connection to Vajrayogini. It also creates the causes to attain a Buddha’s body.
    Make Offerings to Vajrayogini in Kechara Forest Retreat at Bentong is such an meritorious way for us to collect merits. All thanks to our Guru having conceptualised the idea of having a statue of Vajrayogini for everyone . Recitation of Vajrayogini mantra can be a powerful tool for self-transformation, healing and liberation from samsara.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing with details explanation .

    Thank you, Rinpoche for sharing this insightful article. Life is short, and if we enjoy every moment of every day, then we will be happy no matter what happens or what changes along the way.What ever matter to us at the time of death is nothing. In the end, it’s not the years in our life that count it’s what you leave behind that matters. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again.Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. Learning Dharma and practicing dharma is the our choice that’s matter. Some of the key points to take notes, read, study the Lam Rim and apply it, engage in Sadhana daily and consistently. No one will help us at the moment of death but ourselves. Spiritual practicing is the best choice.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Well the size of Buddha statues in Tibetan Buddhism is important because it represents the Buddha’s immense ability and vast knowledge. Hence the Buddha statues hold the symbol of satisfaction within, peace and happiness. They are a symbol of inspiration for every human being. When we focus on the Buddha statues, it gives us inner peace that our mind, our heart and our soul gets enlightened.
    We have are so fortunate seeing and circumambulating where the 9-foot Dorje Shugden statue and with 500 mantra stones engraved with Dorje Shugden’s sacred mantra. As Rinpoche had said before the bigger and more Buddha statues helps in planting seeds of enlightenment in people’s mind-streams. It also help us to generate as much merit and purify as much karma as possible. Merely by seeing all those big statues at Kechara Forest Retreat is a blessing.
    Thank you Rinpoche.

    The 4th Tagpu Pemavajra Jampel Tenpai Ngodrub, most commonly known as Tagpu Dorje Chang, was a highly accomplished yogi Highly attained lama who had many authentic visions of the Buddhas and even travel astrally to receive direct teachings from them. His recognised line of incarnations stem all the way back to the 14th Century. He is generally regarded as such amongst Gelug lineage holders. He spent most of his time in a hermitage located above Sera Monastery, gave teachings and transmitted many vital practices and lineages to his foremost student Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche. Besides receiving the complete instructions of Dorje Shugden’s practice, Tagpu Dorje Chang had many other mystical experiences throughout his lifetime. Interesting read biography of a highly accomplished mahasiddha lama.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    n Tibetan culture, it is a popular and customary practice for families to invite monks to perform spiritual ceremonies such as Trusol rituals. The monks have had the opportunity to offer such ceremonies for individuals or their families. Such ceremonies purify the elements of the environment which helps those living or visiting there to experience good health, success and well-being. The sacred ritual of ‘bathing’ the Buddhas and consecration through which negativities, sicknesses and obstacles will be cleared. Where by filling those areas with positive energies and good vibes through this Trusol consecration puja. Water is an essential part of this puja and symbolises the cleansing of all negativities and impurities. Through this puja it also pacifies local deities and other unseen beings in the surrounding areas. We are indeed fortunate that Tsem Rinpoche has taught Kecharians this practice and it has benefited many.
    Thank you Rinpoche with folded hands

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.
    7 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
