Jill hits 100,000!

Jan 22, 2013 | Views: 559

Dear friends,

Earlier yesterday, I received a pleasant surprise from one of my students, Jill Yam. She presented me with a basket filled with healthy organic food. it also came along with a sincere hand written card to inform me she has completed 100,000 water bowl offering. I was so amazed at her sincere practice and offering. Such a wonderful surprise!!

She told me that throughout her water offering retreat, Pastor Yek Yee was instrumental in guiding her through it… I’m glad to hear this. I conceptualized the idea of having Pastors so that they can help others in their Dharma practice… this is the very reason why Pastor Yek Yee, Pastor Susan, Pastor Lanse, Pastor Han Nee, Pastor Chia and Anila became Pastors

I love getting letters that shares with me my student’s spiritual growth… it tells me that all the years of being in Malaysia has bore some results, and that there are people here who wish to practice the Dharma sincerely. Thank you Jill for this wonderful offering of 100,000 water bowl offerings dedicated to the growth of Kechara Forest Retreat. I am deeply touched by your sincerity towards the Dharma.  I want to share this to inspire many others to engage in practice also.

Tsem Rinpoche

 


 Offerings from Jill…

 

 

The card reads:

Dear Rinpoche,

I have completed my water offering retreat and I wish to offer it to Rinpoche along with these offerings. (Attached is my tabulated counts by months) Under the guidance of Pastor Yek Yee, I have completed 110,010 bowls of water offerings.

I took on this retreat with the intent of offering it for Rinpoche’s long life and for Kechara Forest Retreat to manifest swiftly. Throughout the retreat, I took my vegetarian vows too. The retreat has been a humbling experience. It has been calm and peaceful.

Although there has been times where I felt tedious and tiring, both physically and mentally, I focused and reflected on my motivation and regained my strength to carry on when I filled my last bowl and completed the retreat. I was spiritually filled with joy.

Having completed this retreat, I have a better understanding of patience and perseverance. i also have to thank Pastor Yek Yee and my family for their encouragement throughout.

May whatever merits that I may have accumulated throughout this retreat, I offer them all to Rinpoche.

Thank you.

From,

Jill Yam

    Jill is a very dedicated and hard working volunteer in Puja House, her continuity and integrity are the aspects that I have to learn from her. She is an inspiring example to look up to. Thank you Jill for all the hard work and also Rinpoche for sharing her succeed in completing the retreat.

  4. Julien Roth on Oct 30, 2013 at 11:39 pm

    I find this very cool. I myself would think that i am not able to do things like this, i don’t think i would be consistant in doing it. So i am very imrpressed with Jill. I hope i will learn in the future to be more like Jill here, and to keep on going and to never stop doing.

  5. Wylfred Ng on Oct 30, 2013 at 11:06 pm

    Thanks Rinpoche for the sharing. Rejoice to Jill too for completing the 100000 bowls of water offering.

    Jill is a devoted volunteer who also always tirelessly work at Kechara Puja House. From Torma making, leading the puja and even out call puja. She is really an inspiring senior who really invest her time in dharma. And her daughter, Wan San is frequently volunteering at Kechara too.

    Really happy to have Jill to help us to understand more about puja.

    Thanks

    Congratulations on your achievement, Jill, may you become an inspiration for many to follow. I really rejoice. Jill does so much for others in Kechara and taking care of her children, yet she takes the initiative to complete an extensive water offering retreat. I am very happy for her.

  7. William on Apr 2, 2013 at 12:35 pm

    WOW!!! Jill is really devoted to Rinpoche. I always see her volunteering in Kechara House. Her offering to Rinpoche is so sincere and she is so systematic in her counts. All are recorded so nicely. She did not lag in anyway, in any day. This is pure determination. Jill, you are an inspiration. Your whole family helps out in Kechara and now you daughter is working in KIM. Really a shiny example of a Dharma family.

  8. Pastor Chia on Mar 8, 2013 at 2:23 am

    Congratulation to Jill has completed 100,000 bowls of water offering and continue keep up your spiritual practice. I love to engage the retreat like this again and again.I remember my first watering retreat is done at Gaden Monastery at rinpoche ladrang. Everyday few of us start doing White Tara prayer and continue with water offering. How nice. I miss that a lot.

  9. tenzin llhamo on Feb 23, 2013 at 8:01 pm

    Congratulations Jill on completing your water offering retreat! As always, its truly inspiring to read about such happy updates! And to know that your motivation was for Rinpoche makes it much more interesting! Although you are a mum and volunteer, you persevered and made it! May your spiritual hourney continue to grow!

  10. philyong on Feb 14, 2013 at 7:35 pm

    Wow this blog post is indeed very exciting to read! Thank you Jill for being a good example to all of us! Jill not only did 100,000 water offering but she was also very dedicated by writing down the counts day by day and having all filed up. Amazing dedication.

    Dear Jill,

    Congratulation on the completion of 100k water offering, which is one of the preliminary practice advised high lamas, Lama Tsongkhapa himself also completed have to completed his prilimirary practices. The significance of offering seven/eight water bowls is to create the cause to achieve the seven limbs, or aspects, or qualities of the Vajradhara state — enlightenment, hence it’s important for us to do this daily.

    I would like to share some links about teaching regarding other preliminary practices that we can get involve to prepare ourself for higher tantric initiaiton or practices.

    Jill Yam volunteers on a regular basis in Kechara House work and Puja House pujas, as well as remained committed in her 100,000 water offerings retreat and taking care of her family needs. She is always pleasant, kind, generous, helpful and hard working. She always made sure she does her work well and not trouble others.

    She is an inspiration and I admire her for her tenacious appetite for this achievement. Jill and her family have always been an admiration for me. Congratulations!

  14. Jace Chong on Jan 29, 2013 at 1:59 am

    Congratulation Jill!!

    It’s amazing to see such a details record of the water offerings number everyday, Jill really make this a priority in her daily life.

    I really would like to thank Jill for showing a good example. Not only the determination to complete the water offerings, but also to engage the whole family to help out in Kechara House. She sees the value and preciousness of Dharma and live on it. She is a lovely lady always smiling patiently and never talk bad about anything.

    Her husband Eric Kwan is a professional camera man, a famous Director Of Photography in the TV Commercial line. He always help in Kechara InMotion works. Sometimes I ask him if he would like to charge for this, as sometimes he really spend his time and professional advice in some jobs; he told me, “This is for Kechara, if I charge you, my wife will scold me.” It’s really funny.

    I love the family so much, Wan Hong and Wan San are raised so well just like their parents.

    I wish them well and have a fruitful spiritual journey =)

  15. Paris on Jan 28, 2013 at 4:00 pm

    oh gosh this is amazing to read. I’m so so impressed with the very detailed counts that Jill took each day / month – such diligence, discipline and focus. Most impressive is that I don’t think many people even knew that she was doing this retreat, and she never let it get in the way of her other volunteering works at Kechara. She’s always seen around Kechara House, helping out at every event – before, during and after. She even brings along her children to assist, and both Wan San and Wan Hong have also become regular volunteers to Kechara House’s work. Her husband also comes to volunteer and contribute towards Kechara – I’ve often seen them all at KFR volunteering their time too. This is wonderful, that the whole family has made Dharma a part of their lives and their activity together as a family.

    Keep it up Jill, and thank you for always being such a strong and stalwart part of Kechara House 🙂

  16. Wei Theng on Jan 26, 2013 at 3:25 am

    Congratulation Jill! Rejoice in your achievement of 100,000 water offerings! It will surely blessed you and your family.

    You are very inspiring and is a very good example for all of us! Other than volunteering in KFR, learning to be Puja guide & supporting Shubten Khang in Pujas, and volunteering in Kechara activities, you still able to do it in such a short time. Your effort, consistency, persistency and faith in Guru is amazing! You also show us a very systematic and good way of how to do water offerings and recording it.

    Rejoice Jill! May you advance further and see you more often in Kechara!

  17. Wan Hong on Jan 26, 2013 at 1:38 am

    My family & I are very proud of our mother’s achievement in this water offering. My mother said that she has gained much personally from the water offering retreat. I have learnt much too through her example of setting a consistent effort and dedication to completing what she has set to achieve.

    Day in day out, my mother planned her day around the counts of water offering she has set for the day (usually around 400 to 500 bowls). As much time as she has taken to complete the water offering, she has also taken the time to take care of the family and spend time with people around her. I am proud of my mother’s achievement! I am touched by all the warm comments by everyone, I know my mom does too even more so. She was so elated when she finished her last bowl of offering!

    When I asked her which retreat she is looking forward to the next time around, she gave a few moments of serious thoughts and then flashed back a smile. I look forward to her next retreat. I should engage in one myself too. My mom has been an inspiration.

  18. Jutika on Jan 24, 2013 at 12:14 am

    Congratulations Jill Yam on completing 100,000 water offerings to the Buddhas! It is very inspiring how you never say you are to tired, to old or no time to do it!!!

    I am very surprised you managed to complete 100,000 bowls of water offerings in just 8 months! Considered that you still come to Kechara Gompa and Kechara Forest Retreat to volunteer.

    On my point of view a lady like you at your age would probably would have taken a longer period to complete 100,000 water offerings so kudos to yourself!

    May whatever merit you have accumulated in this wonderful Retreat
    may you create the causes for you to get Vajrayoghini Teachings and initiations.

    Once again congratulations on your great achievement!!!

    Love
    Jutika

  19. Sofi on Jan 23, 2013 at 2:23 pm

  20. nicholas on Jan 23, 2013 at 12:25 am

    Congratulation Jill!
    You are so inspiring and show your sincerity in your dharma practice.

    In such a short time you are in Kechara but you have much faith in Rinpoche and your practice does shows result. Good way to move on.
    Your family will definitely proud of you and you have a set a great example to them.

    What a wonderful thing to see you and your family to be so committed in dharma work may it inspire more people and family.

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this wonderful news.I sincerely rejoice for Jill’s meritorios achievement and your sincerity in dedicating it to our Guru.Thank you Jill,you inspire me a lot.Wishing you all the best in your spiritual journey !!

  22. Sheryl KH (JB) on Jan 22, 2013 at 12:29 pm

    This water offering retreat is beautiful because of the motivation (dedicated to Rinpoche’s long life and the swift manifestation of KFR), the consistency and the never-give-up attitude.

    I am amazed that Jill gets to complete her 100K water offering within 8 months, some days the offerings are lower, some days there are more. But no matter how, this is done consistently, and this is beautiful.

    I wish Jill smooth and beautiful dharma journey.

  23. Han on Jan 22, 2013 at 11:47 am

    Congratulation to Jill ! Not only Jill committed into dharma, her family members are consistently volunteer at Kechara too, Eric Kwan the husband is a professional DOP (Director Of Photography) , he was the DOP of Tsem Paranormal Zone TV series, he also actively volunteer to film Kechara events’ videos.

    Sincerely thank you this family from bottom of my heart. May they continue their spiritual journey with Kechara’s dharma sisters and brothers.

  24. sarahyap on Jan 22, 2013 at 9:14 am

    Wow! Amazing!

    Congratulations to Jill for completing her 100,000 water offering retreat. Although Jill is very busy with volunteering in Kechara regularly and taking care her two children, she never made excuse and although she finds it very tiring on certain days, she still muster all her energy to continue her retreat. I’m very happy for her.

    May more people come to practice the preliminary practices through Jill’s wonderful example.

    • sweekeong on Jan 22, 2013 at 10:05 am

      I am happy for her too! Jill and her family are all in Dharma together. Completing this watering offering practice benefits her, her family and everyone. I saw her volunteering in Kechara very often and assisting with puja sessions.

  25. Grace Leong on Jan 22, 2013 at 8:59 am

    Dear Jill . Congratulations on your achievement ! You have been with Kechara only for quite a short time . It’s certainly very inspiring to read of your progress ! May you continue to have a wonderful spiritual journey !

    Tibetan pujas, a devotional ritual, offers numerous benefits, including healing, protection, wealth, wisdom, and spiritual growth. It fosters a deeper connection with the divine, promotes inner peace, and can help purify the environment and can lead to a closer connection with enlightenment. They are a way to purify negative karma, remove obstacles, and accumulate merit. Pujas can also help with mental and emotional well-being, reducing stress, anxiety, and pain. Ultimately, they are a powerful tool for spiritual development and can lead to a closer connection with enlightenment. Puja can be a powerful tool for fostering a sense of gratitude and devotion. Reading this clear and simple explanation in this article will help more and more people to understand better.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    In Tibetan Buddhism, refuge and the guru are closely intertwined. Taking refuge in the three jewels expresses the most fundamental connection to Buddhism. Having confronted the limitations of samsara, we are ready for a change. Taking refuge involves seeking protection and guidance from the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, with the guru often seen as a living embodiment of these three jewels. The guru’s role is to guide practitioners towards enlightenment by pointing them to the path and helping them overcome obstacles. Refuge is not merely a symbolic act but a deep commitment to transforming one’s mind and life by relying on these sources of inspiration and guidance. Taking refuge doesn’t protect us from problems such as illness, accidents, and other difficulties. Rather, it provides us with knowledge to transform obstacles into opportunities. We learn how to relate to difficulties in a new way, and this protects us from confusion and despair. Reading again to understand better .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing .

    Reading through this blog of what life was like for Pastor Jean Ai, during lockdown. The Movement Control Order which began in 2020 reminded me of how I went through during the lock down. Staying alone by myself as the rest of my family member outstation in KL. Not easy after all everything as such as getting foods etc. I do my shopping twice a week having doing all the necessary disinfection and so on. What I did at home during the lock down and how I spent my time, days indeed not easy Do reading, watching videos at Tsem Rinpoche blog , learning and practicing and in-fact did full prostration and mantras recitation daily . It had changed my life since then and had completed 100k . Through a Dharma brother I managed to get hold of some mantras for rolling too. Interesting,…..watching Pastor Jean Ai’s video at how she interact with friends that’s awesome.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Jean Ai for this interesting sharing.

    n Tibetan Buddhism, prostrations are a way to express deep respect and devotion to the Three Jewels for the Buddha, his teachings (Dharma), and the spiritual community (Sangha). Prostration is a physical act of deep reverence or worship, which offers a range of benefits across spiritual, physical, and mental domains. It can be a form of prayer, a means of expressing devotion. It is a deeply symbolic act that purifies negative actions, accumulates merit, and cultivates humility and compassion. It can be a form of prayer, a means of expressing devotion. This act is believed to be beneficial for practitioners, cultivating humility, eliminating negative thoughts, and accumulating positive karma which is believed to lead to positive future outcomes and spiritual progress. Whether we believe in karma or not, our negative karma increases without purification. Hence its important , to purify our negative karma through the Vajrasattva and prostrations practice. It also seen as a way to purify our negative mind, emotions and thought patterns, such as pride and ego if we do it well . Thus, the practice of purification is one of the most important solutions to our problems and is extremely necessary for everyone of us. It is more important to put our everyday life’s effort into the practice of purification to attain spiritual realization.
    The Vajrasattva purification practice, which is more powerful than negative karma. With this practice can prevent us from experiencing the problems that negative karma would otherwise bring us. Reciting the Vajrasattva mantra before going to bed to prevent whatever negative karma we have created that day from multiplying it is an incredibly powerful method that it makes our life very light and easy and keeps us happy and peaceful in our inner life.
    Both Vajrasattva practice and prostrations done with good visualizations are indeed very beneficial for practitioners.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing and teachings .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Unknown

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

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