From a Free Thinker to a Buddhist

Before I begin my story, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my guru, H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche for giving me this opportunity and platform to learn the Dharma.

I was brought up with a Taoist background, and since I was a child, I was told to pray to get my wishes fulfilled. For example, I would pray to get good grades in school, I would pray to win a lot of money when I gambled (occasionally during Chinese New Year), I would pray to strike the lottery and so on. I would offer a lot of joss sticks to the gods at the family altar and pray for all those things.

Then as I grew up, I realized that the Gods, Buddhas or celestial beings could not help me just through prayer alone. I figured that if everybody could get rich just by sitting at home and praying, then there would be no need for work. Hence, I stopped praying and began to idolize money. Money became my religion. I would only do things to benefit myself and maintain friends only if they were of benefit to me. I would limit my time with friends that did not benefit me in any way.

I was introduced to Kechara early in 2008 when I was looking for a part time job before Chinese New Year. My uncle is a longtime student of Rinpoche; he happened to visit from the UK and heard that I was looking for a part time job. So he introduced me to the Kechara Paradise outlet and I was hired on a part time basis. In my third month working in Kechara, I met Tsem Rinpoche for the first time and that meeting with Rinpoche totally blew my mind. He totally changed my long-held views on life and spirituality and turned my life around.

That month, we were having a roadshow in 1Utama shopping mall to showcase our statues and Himalayan items. Rinpoche dropped by to show his support and that was how I came to meet Rinpoche for the very first time. At that time, I didn’t know who or what a Rinpoche is but I did find his name quite ‘interesting’.

Somehow, Rinpoche knew I did not believe in Buddhism and so he used a skillful way to give me a teaching. He said that even though I can’t see the Buddha, that does not mean that the Buddha does not exist. This is just like electricity; we can’t see electricity but when we see the lights are turned on, it proves electricity does exist. Similarly, when we see the growing Sangha community and the temples, it proves the existence of Buddha, because without electricity, there would be no light and without the Buddha, there would be no Sangha. After listening to that sound logic, I was still stuck on the need for more proof that the Buddha existed. But it made me think deeper because what Rinpoche said made a lot of sense.

The following month while I was working in the office, Pastor Shin came knocking on the door. She said that Rinpoche had a gift for me. I was very surprised, not so much by the fact that I had received a gift but because I had barely worked in Kechara for three months and while most of the people in Kechara still didn’t know me, Rinpoche had already noticed me. Just imagine the CEO of a company giving a gift to a new staff that he only met once and who is still under probation. This had never happened before in any of my previous jobs (in fact, I think this would never happen in most companies!)

Pastor Shin then presented me with a briefcase so that it would be easier for me to carry my documents, files and notebooks around with me. This was my first time experiencing Rinpoche’s kindness and generosity. Rinpoche will always be Rinpoche and since the first day I got to know Rinpoche, he has always shown us kindness through his actions. He will always notice what people need and he will present that person with the most suitable gift. Rinpoche’s actions have totally undermined all my long-held beliefs and practices and I began to realize what I had done in the past was a waste of time as I was engaged in meaningless activities.

AR 2 (1)

Rinpoche gathered the staff from every department to shop for food to store in their offices so that they would have something to eat when they were hungry

At the end of 2008, I was invited to observe the Liaison Council meeting (now known as the Board of Directors meeting) in Rinpoche’s residence. The meeting started around 10pm, which I initially thought would end very quickly since it was already so late, but the meeting unexpectedly ended around 5am. This was my first time attending such a long meeting. Although it was tiring, I felt really excited and fortunate to be able to participate in that meeting with Rinpoche. From what I can remember, they talked about the operations and updates of every department. Just imagine, with 13 departments, even if it took just 20 minutes per department, the meeting would have lasted at least 4-5 hours.

On top of that, the liaisons had to address human resource issues – how best to handle people with attitude problems and deal with those who had damaged the organization. They would discuss various ways to help that person overcome the issue and become better. This is unlike any other organization, where an employee with an attitude problem that damages the company would immediately be fired. But in Kechara, they are given a second chance to prove themselves. In fact, they are given many chances and Rinpoche would even assign certain Liaisons to counsel that person and guide him/her to improve their attitude so they can continue to practice the Dharma. During the meeting, Rinpoche would also always slip in a Dharma teaching that was relevant to the issue being discussed. That would help the group resolve the problem in the best possible way that is beneficial to everyone involved.

After the meeting, I told myself that this is so strange. They are a bunch of crazy people because everybody on the outside are just fighting against each other to gain fame, power and money, but here, they are fighting to help each other. This meeting was really an eye-opener for me and after hopping from so many jobs, finally I found where I want to be. This company is amazingly meaningful and Rinpoche is even more incredible.

AR 6 2013

In 2013, Rinpoche gathered 20 people across the various departments and presented us with snacks and food. Rinpoche will never let anyone in his life go hungry. Rinpoche loves to feed people and this is the nurturing side that he attributes to his upbringing and also because he knows what it feels like to be starving all the time

While working in Kechara Paradise, I read some Dharma books written by Rinpoche and watched his teaching videos. This broadened my understanding of Buddhism and changed my perception of spirituality, that it was not just about praying to fulfill our wishes and wanting things to go our way all the time. In one of the teachings, Rinpoche explained that we are already very greedy, thus we don’t need the Buddha to make us even more greedy with our selfish prayers. When we pray, we shouldn’t tell the Buddha what to do; we should instead humbly request for guidance and ask the Buddha to guide us through our difficulties.

In 2009, I was very fortunate to be selected to join a purchasing trip to Nepal. The trip was to acquire many new holy statues and various other items for Kechara Paradise. During the 10-day trip, Pastor Henry shared about Dharma Protectors and their functions, and we also visited a few holy temples in the Kathmandu Valley to make offerings and to learn more about Dharma.

In March 2010, I decided to take refuge with His Eminence the 25th Tsem Rinpoche and to officially begin my journey in Kechara as my spiritual path. In the process, I had to unlearn my past beliefs and to take to heart the new spiritual teachings of Rinpoche and Kechara.

Kechara Paradise has been a great platform for me to share the Dharma that I have learned from Rinpoche. For the past eight years in Kechara, I was glad to have been able to help many people overcome their problems by sharing what Rinpoche taught me. I was able to assist them in setting up their altars and to show them how to pray to the Buddhas with the correct motivation. This is the type of satisfaction that money can’t buy. Yes, I used to earn a lot more but there was never a single night that I felt as contented as the days I had spent in Kechara. I used to think that money is more important than anything else in the world but today, I actually feel that money is far less important and we should not focus on it so much. When we are too attached to money, it will corrupt us and create even more suffering. Dharma should be the most important aspect of our lives. These days, I feel a greater sense of security when I practice the Dharma than when I had more money.

AR 4

Rinpoche said, “Never think that in a Dharma center, everyone will be holy-schmoly. As long as there are people, there will be politics.” But no matter what happens, my Dharma brothers and sisters will never betray me

I cannot thank Rinpoche enough for what he has given me all these years. Since the first day I met Rinpoche until today, his compassion and motivation has never wavered; he is always consistent in benefiting others. With such a great example from my Guru, I realized that no other path is more important than my spiritual path, and I want to spend my remaining days in Dharma and to do work that benefits others. I feel very happy whenever I see someone overcome their difficulties, hence in 2016, I requested Rinpoche’s permission to be ordained as a Buddhist Pastor so I can follow in Rinpoche’s footsteps to serve others and to benefit more people.

Rinpoche scarcely does anything for himself, it is always for others. Thank you Rinpoche for all you have done for others and for me.

This is a photo of me taken in front of a hospital. Just the night before, Rinpoche noticed that I was not feeling well and immediately arranged for his assistant to send me to the hospital for a full medical check up. Rinpoche is always concerned, kind and cares for everyone

    Thank you Pastor Albert for sharing your spiritual journey. I find it very interesting. Rinpoche is ever so caring and kind. It is always inspiring to read the someone’s spiritual journey, especially someone we know personally. Thank you for taking on the pastoral role and dedicating your life to others. Wishing you all the best in your spiritual journey.???

    Thank You Pastor Albert for sharing of your spiritual journey with us. It is Wow to me that how Rinpoche turned you into new leaf from money/benefit centric person to focus out person. That is power of Guru, Dharma and center. I was like you; I even particular choose to perform the ritual benefiting my wealth such as preparing the water for offering prior to weekly puja. It showed how narrow minded I was. Pastor Patsy was strongly encouraged me to blog chat and attending the Dharma class in KH. With blessing of Rinpoche, help from Pastors and senior Kecharians, my mind started focusing out to help others instead of thinking of myself only. That is how amazing of Guru, Dharma, and center. I always believe in One Center One Lama. Thank You Rinpoche for all these. Center is our home of Dharma, our power charging spiritual house. I would like to help as much as possible to my Center and my Guru.

    Thank you Pastor Albert for sharing your spiritual journey. The pictures and stories described here brings back so much memories, of Rinpoche’s care and kindness proud that you have now become a Pastor and is serving many more people.

  5. Echeah on Mar 27, 2017 at 11:56 pm

    Thank you Pastor Albert for your sharing. The background you described before you encountered dharma is the story of most people. We are socially conditioned to equate material wealth with success in life, more so in our Asian society. Being rich means one can enjoy life, live comfortably and indulge in a lifestyle of luxury. This is everybody’s dream, usually. In the quest for wealth, we find that nothing is ever enough and we want more and more. Religion would be furthest from our minds.

    For a person to come to a realisation that all this money chasing is futile and development of inner qualities and selflessness is more important, is truly remarkable because it goes against the grain.

  6. CindyH on Mar 26, 2017 at 9:22 pm

    Whether we engage in secular or Dharma work, it is not always easy and there will be many challenges. Thank you, Pastor Albert for such a candid sharing of your spiritual journey which not only serves as an inspiration but we can also draw strength from your sharing as we walk our own spiritual path. Thank you also for the more intimate glimpses of how Rinpoche continuously infuses Dharma knowledge onto everyone and showers people who he comes across with loving kindness and generosity. It is amazing that we are really so fortunate to have Rinpoche here to continue turning the wheel of Dharma. Rejoice in you taking on the pastoral role to assist in spreading Dharma and put into action your resolve of dedicating your life to serving others.

    It is always inspiring to read the someone’s spiritual journey, especially someone we know personally. Most of the time, we are too busy to chit chat and understand each other more, therefore, this is the first time I heard about Pastor Albert’s journey.

    As Pastor Albert said, Rinpoche is forever skilful in bringing Dharma to people. To me, Rinpoche is also very skilful in bringing Dharma knowledge to people. In my case, I had a lot of fix perceptions about Buddhism and Sangha, but within a short span of time, Rinpoche is able to break the perceptions and instil the genuine Dharma into me.

    I wish Pastor Albert all the best if his spiritual journey, and continue the teaching & vision of Rinpoche of serving others.

  8. Sofi on Mar 25, 2017 at 6:40 pm

    Thank you Pastor Albert for your inspiring spiritual journey with the kindness and care of Rinpoche. I remember the first time I met Pastor Albert was when my family chanced upon Kechara Paradise in One Utama Shopping Centre. My husband was curious of the many Tibetan Buddha statues and various items. Pastor Albert was very kind and patient in answering our questions. From then this outlet was practically a place to visit during our weekend shopping day. When one of my office staff faced a problem of her son being disturbed, I rang up Pastor Albert for advice and he suggested that she attend the protector Setrap Puja at Kechara House (2). That was the start of our spiritual journey in Kechara. After the first attendance, it is my husband and I that became members and attended the various pujas regularly. So I credit Pastor Albert’s kindness and guidance for my being in Kechara under our compassion Guru, H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. I always see his love for Rinpoche reflected in his words and actions…this is the reason that made me curious to explore Rinpoche’s video teachings on Youtube. Thank you Pastor Albert and may you always remain strong in your faith and trust to lead more people into the compassion of our Guru.

    Thank you Rinpoche for your love for all and for bringing us the precious Dharma and practices into our lives. May we all be blessed with the merits to realise the preciousness of our Guru and strive to fulfil his wishes for more to gain connection with his pure lineage teachings. _()_

    Just like our Pastor Albert said, we will never be able to thank Rinpoche enough for all good things he has done for us, and given us all these years! Rinpoche has an unwavering compassion, motivation and consistency in helping and benefiting sentient beings. Many, many would earnestly pray and hope, if not this lifetime, but the next, and the next, if ever there will be the good Karma to be born a human being again, to be able to follow the golden footstep of our Bodhisattva Guru, Rinpoche, who works and lives solely for the sake of all beings! For own wretched self i am nothing, but of course the best thing that ever has happened to me was meeting Tsem Tulku Rinpoche! As what Pastor Albert said, “Rinpoche scarecely does anything for himself, it is always for others.” So you can see how lucky I was to be able to meet up with our Rinpoche! Frankly, this was the best gift that I can ever have in my life, because he had done so much good for my family and myself! Pastor Albert, if you can follow every actions done by our Rinpoche, and, like Pastor David said, even for just the amounts of generosity and kindnesses, you are truly following a “Buddha”. Om Mani Padme Hung.

    Thanks Rinpoche and Pastor Albert for this great sharing of an inspiring spiritual journey.

    Pastor Albert and I been knowing each other since 2009, before I join Kechara as a full time staff. What he told me is always consistent that to always work for Dharma, to serve others. He is also the one that tell me straight on the face that how my bad attitude affects others and I should change for the benefits of myself and others. I truly appreciate a Dharma brother like this, who always does his very best to help others.

    About 3 weeks ago, my mom was in an ICU wad in a hospital, doctor told my family that my mom was in very critical stage and might not able to make it, that she might only have a few hours to live. My family was devastated. Pastor Albert kindly came after his busy working schedule to the hospital and did a blessing on my mom. He asked my family to go back to rest, and asked me to rest, and he stayed there to wait if there’s anything as he knew that the whole family was very tired. He waited from midnight to the next morning. We are glad that my mom survived the night. This is only one example of how kind he is. Pastor Albert always be there to serve no matter how tired he is.

    I can’t say thank you enough to Pastor Albert for being such a walking inspiration. He was just like you and me, yet he takes Rinpoche and Dharma in him closely and live his life with it, be the light among us.

    Thank you Pastor Albert.

    Dear Albert,
    This was a heartwarming account of your spiritual journey and its really nice to read about it. From what I read, I find that you are smart and that you also have a kind heart that you are not too aware of. I hope you will continue further in your Dharma career in spreading the Dharma and finding fulfilment as a pastor and as a part of Kechara. Just with the amount of generosity and kindness that Rinpoche had shown you, may you also show it unto many people who come to Kechara Paradise seeking assistance to solve their problems. All the best to you.

  12. Sharon Ong on Mar 22, 2017 at 7:12 pm

    Dear Pastor Albert,

    Thank you for sharing your spiritual journey. I always find it helpful and inspiring to read stories about other’s spiritual journeys as there will usually be some simple yet profound teaching. Your life story is a clear example of how loving money would not bring anyone everlasting happiness but quite the opposite. You have personally experienced contentment even though you have far less now financially, compared to the when you had a lot more previously.

    Thank you for taking on the pastoral role and dedicating your life to others. Wishing you all the best in your spiritual journey.

  13. Sarah on Mar 22, 2017 at 7:23 am

    I’ve known Pastor Albert Ratchaga since 2008. What I like about Pastor Albert is his sense of humour, patience and willingness to help others. I wish him all the best in his Pastorship and spiritual journey.

  14. Vivian Ong on Mar 22, 2017 at 12:46 am

    Thank you Pastor Albert for sharing your spiritual journey. I find it interesting. Rinpoche is ever so caring and kind. Pastor Albert’s dharma knowledge is also quite strong. Before he became a Pastor, whenever I visit Kechara Paradise, Pastor Albert would share and explain the dharma very well with me and my hubby. Pastor Albert is friendly and caring too. I remembered once when I was having backache and I went to Kechara Paradise in Sunwaymas, Pastor Albert took out a chair for me to sit and attached a lumbar support so that my back doesn’t hurt so much. Thank you very much Pastor Albert for your care. May Pastor Albert be able to benefit more people with the Dharma knowledge that you learnt from Rinpoche.

    With folded palms,
    Vivian

    This is a very good and sincere sharing, Pastor Albert. It is so true that all the organisation will not accept a person who did mistake but Kechara is an organisation that will do the otherwise by retaining those who did wrong and do whatever they can to help and transform this person. So compassionate. This also means that everyone in Kechara team has the same motivation and that is to serve for the benefit of others although they may need to deal with uneasy people in the team and various challenges.

    Appreciate Pastor for your time and dharma sharing to all of us so we can learn and change.

  16. Keng Nam on Mar 21, 2017 at 9:16 pm

    Well done Albert! You deserve to be in the platform you are in now and I wish you every success in your spiritual journey ahead.

  17. Freon on Mar 21, 2017 at 7:57 pm

    Dear Pastor,

    It is very interesting to read your spiritual path experiences.
    It is true that when we go all the way with Dharma, we could benefit people by dharma and this could influent them in a good way.
    I always see you nurtured a lot of people to Kechara by explaining to them politely and patiently with Rinpoche’s teaching. Your passion for dharma is great.

    I like the description on Electricity and Buddha.

    Thank you Pastor for the inspiration.

    Regards
    Freon

    Thank you, Pastor Albert, for the sincere sharing for your amazing journey with Kechara and the inspiration to serve others because of Rinpoche’s teaching. Rejoice to you for the renunciation on material gains and given up on attachment to worldly desires. Rinpoche’s teaching is the fountain of Buddhism nectar that quenches our thirst for all secular needs and a huge force of motivation for us to work for the benefits of others.

    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.

    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.
    5 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
