Mooncake festival at KFR!

Sep 23, 2012 | Views: 1,247

Today, the Kechara Forest Retreat (KFR) team held an event at KFR to celebrate the mooncake festival. I received many wonderful updates from a few of my students who attended the event. It started at 5:30pm and was supposed to end at 8:30pm but everyone had so much fun that it ended an hour later!

There were many new faces… when the guests arrived, everyone socialized for a while to get to know one another. Everyone then made candle offerings to the Buddha under the famous tree at KFR. This was followed by a short prayer led by Pastor Susan. How beautiful. Pastor Susan really has your spiritual benefit in mind.

A short video was then shown to the guests on the construction done so far at KFR. Then it was dinner time! There was a variety of Western and Eastern foods… and Sofi Lim prepared her popular cakes for everyone to enjoy too!

The group then split into two: adults and kids. The kids had a sing-a-long and games session… while the older kids grouped together and kept an eye out on the younger ones, making sure that they are safe at all times. I like it when people look out for each other… it shows how much they care about others. Wonderful that these children start cultivating this trait from a young age.

While the children were playing, the adults were given a short teaching on meditation by Pastor Susan. She kindly guided them through a brief meditation session to make sure they understand the teaching fully. The adults were very attentive during the Dharma talk and thankful towards Pastor Susan for teaching them a method to find inner peace which they can apply even in their homes.

After the teaching, there was a barbeque and enjoyed mooncakes. The kids played around with their lanterns and had fun walking around the beautiful green KFR grounds. At around 9.30pm , the bus arrived to take everyone back to Kechara House.

It is so wonderful to see so much happening around at KFR. KFR is a very blessed land, and I hope that many people will be able to visit here in the near future to enjoy nature, heal their body and practice spirituality with their Dharma brothers and sisters. Do look at the pictures. What did you do for this year’s mooncake festival?

 Ms. Any and Bean helped out with the PA system again! They came earlier to have everything set up before the guests arrive.

 

 

 The children having a good time! Exploring their creativity in the forest certainly is good for children to learn and grow close together as Dharma brothers and sisters.

 

 

 Good friends, these two boys are regulars in the Manjushri Kids Class. Now they are good Dharma brothers that support each other in every way.

 

 

 Guests starting to arrive at KFR for the festival, they took a short walk into the tent area.

 Walking in groups, the bus dropped the guests at the entrance. They took a short walk towards the temporary abode.

 

 

 Everyone gathering before the event started. Here people are greeting and talking to each other, grabbing their candles from the tent to make offerings to the Buddha.

 

 

 Even young children came along to enjoy the event. Cute hehe.

 Grace Leong brought a good friend of hers to the event today. Wonderful that Kecharians are starting to share spirituality with close friends. We should start with our close friends first before we can reach out to more people…

 People found any spot available to enjoy their dinner!

 

 

 Dinner time! The KFR team prepared an abundance of food for the guests.

 

 

The guests helping themselves to dinner… I love it when people get to eat together like a big family, it’s a great way to get to know each other.

 

 

 The guests watching the video on KFR.

 

 

Lanterns lit after the sun set… this reminds me very much of my childhood in Taiwan…

 

 

More lanterns decorated the parameters of the tent…

 

 

After dinner, the children were gathered and lead to another tent to play games and sing-along songs.

 

 

 Two guitarists came to KFR to entertain the children with a sing-a-long. Songs of praise to the Buddhas were taught and sang by the kiddies today.

 

The children had a great time playing with each other.

 

 

Barbecue time!!

 

 

Everyone loves a good barbecue… here, Wan Hong and Kien are roasting potatoes for the guests. 

 

 

 Sing a long…

    A poem inspired by seeing a picture of my teacher, Kyabje Zong Rinpoche…

    In the sport of correct views,
    all that is correct is just a view,
    without permanence or substance.
    As long as we hold onto views,
    our sufferings are gathered 
    to be experienced without end.

    Without the strong methods of emptiness
    and compassion, bereft of merit,
    we sink deeper without respite.
    To arise from this samsara is but
    a dreamscape on the deluded mind.
    Therefore seek the guru, who confers the yidam,
    hold your vows and fixate on liberation 
    free of new creations. Free of new experiences as 
    there are none.

    A poem by Tsem Rinpoche

  3. Valentina Suhendra on Jul 26, 2018 at 10:43 am

    I was walking past a second hand shop on Western Ave selling old things. They had a Japanese-style clay Buddha which was beige in colour on the floor, holding the door open. I thought the shopkeeper would collect a lot of negative karma without knowing if he kept such a holy item on the floor as a doorstop. So I went in to talk to him, but he didn’t look like he wanted to talk or that he even cared. So I asked him the price and he said US$5. I purchased it so he did not collect more negative karma. I was 17 years old and that was in 1982.

    I escorted my new Buddha home and washed it lightly and wiped it. I placed it on my altar and was happy with the Buddha. I would do my meditations, prayers, sadhanas, mantras and prostrations in front of this shrine daily. When I left for India in 1987, I could not bring this Buddha along and gave it to a friend. It was a nice size and I made offerings to this Buddha for many years in Los Angeles. In front of the Buddha I placed His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s photo. I remember I was so relieved that the price was affordable. But US$5 that time was still expensive for me but worth it I thought. But I was happy to have brought the Buddha home. Tsem Rinpoche

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my
    own blog and was curious what all is needed
    to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty
    penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% sure.
    Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Appreciate it

  6. Darren Leong on Dec 18, 2012 at 6:55 pm

    A nice place with a greens surrounding… KFR gonna be a great place for people to learn dharma and does meditation.

  7. James Long on Dec 18, 2012 at 6:53 pm

    Hope to have more of these activities in near future. It’s great retreat place for everyone to heal their mind.

  8. DR on Sep 30, 2012 at 12:48 am

    Only in Kechara can you find so many activities to cater to such diverse group of people. Trips, picnics, movies, pujas, retreats, community work, painting, art, shopping, dining, writting, movie making, animal liberation, pilgrimages, and the list goes on…

    None of this would have been possible without the conceptualisation and loving guidance of our Lama H.E Tsem Rinpoche.

    We learn, we laugh, we cry, we rejoice, and together we grow, in age and in our spiritual practice. What a beautiful organisation to be in!

  9. Wan Wai Meng on Sep 28, 2012 at 11:38 pm

    So cool I really like to meditate at KFR that would be so awesome. And to have a BBQ before that is simply simply blissful, imagine all the tatoes and corn on the fire pit!

  10. Joe Ang on Sep 26, 2012 at 8:00 pm

    It is a very fun evening. I think the kid really enjoyed themselves very much. I could hear their cheers and laughter so clearly from the tent area although they were up on where the hut area is.

    Truly an amazing experience to have fellow kecharian and friends all get together in KFR. An evening of fun, learning and laughter.

    🙂

  11. Sheryl KH (JB) on Sep 25, 2012 at 11:43 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing the happenings and pictures here. It is nice to see that fun, joys, understanding about KFR and other dharma friends, lanterns, prayers and meditations were all rolled into one night within a few hours.

    Through activity like this, more people will come to know about KFR, better cohesion can be built among each other and the road to building up KFR can be smoother.

    I wish that KFR can manifest swiftly so that Rinpoche’s wishes can come true very soon…

  12. tenzin llhamo on Sep 25, 2012 at 8:04 pm

    It looks fun! So nice to see so many people visiting KFR and having a wonderful and meaningful time. Being able to circumambulate, offer candles and prayers all at the same time. What can be more meaningful than spending a Saturday night there! Its a must visit.

  13. Grace Leong on Sep 25, 2012 at 7:40 pm

    Wonderful trip ! Thank you to the organizers who put in a lot of hard work !!

  14. sweekeong on Sep 25, 2012 at 7:10 pm

    Very beautiful lantern and mooncake celebration at KFR! People can enjoy themselves with their family and friends on weekend at this blessed place. Adults can relax themselves after hectic work on weekdays while the kids can have fun playing and socialize with each other. 🙂

    Rejoice for all Dharma brothers and sisters that enjoy their moments in KFR. The moon there should be the prettiest compare with others site view. Thanks Rinpoche blessing that KFR may manifest smoothly…

    The smile and the laughter on everyone’s faces says it all – there is a lot of fun in a big gathering like this. Beneath all these fun are a group of people who worked very hard to make an event like this successful. Kudos to people like Pastor Susan, Kecharians & most of all for Rinpoche’s blessings always.

Beside the joy and fun of food and games, there are the spiritual side of prayer and dharma sharings lead by Pastor Susan. KFR is a truly 2-in-1 brilliant get-away for all Kecharians 🙂

    Found this old post , an example shown to us how compassionate Rinpoche was, helping those vendors on the streets . No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Be kind whenever possible we could do to help those in need. It is always possible. In the second video showing how much care Rinpoche serving foods to workers and sharing, explaining with them about Dharma. Rinpoche kindness in action has inspired us to be kind and helping those who might fighting a hard battle. Everywhere we go, leave a glitter trail of kindness behind us if possible..
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor Seng Piow

    Pilgrimage is important in Buddhism because it deepens spiritual understanding, fosters a connection to the Buddha’s life and teachings. It also provides us the opportunities for personal transformation. It helps practitioners to purify negative karma, cultivate positive merit, and strengthen their devotion to the Three Jewels. Visiting sacred sites can also inspire virtuous conduct and a sense of urgency in practicing the faith. Some places of pilgrimage have powerful energy which can bring our mind to present moment. Major sites of Buddhist pilgrimage are often found in northern India in places associated with the Buddha’s life, teaching and enlightenment. Going on a pilgrimage gives us a chance to step away from the chaos of our schedules.
    Reading this article again reminds me of my pilgrimage to Nepal years back,. It’s a once life time trip but I am glad made it twice.
    It’s a great memories for Pastor David and Paul who brought their parents om pilgrimage to India and Nepal. Awesome …they embarked on a spiritual journey in India and Nepal visited sacred temples, ancient Buddhist sites and Serpom Monastery.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this sharing

    The Nature of the mind is a central concept across various philosophical traditions, It generally refers to the mind’s intrinsic characteristics. As it believed to encompass awareness, purity, and a capacity for both peace and agitation. Most spiritual traditions offer some combination of four practices for those who would seek to know their true nature. We could self-transform through training our mind. When we face difficult situations and things go poorly in our lives, if we’re able to change our attitudes toward them, we’ll be able to transform these experiences into ones that will further our spiritual progress. A profound teachings indeed for us to understand more about the true nature of our minds and how we can transform our minds through sincerely practicing.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing

    Wow…..800 White Tara statues been offered to HE Tsem Rinpoche from the Board of Directors in Kechara. Tsem Rinpoche kept 3 and the rest was offered to the monks in Shar Gaden Monastery back in 2013. That’s more beneficial and having arranged these statues shipped to India for the monks at the monastery on Rinpoche behalf. October 2014, Beng Kooi and her team of 5 people, along with 29 pilgrims had their first experience travelling to a monastic setting. Rejoice to them such a meaningful journey whereby they met with many high lamas and many old, holy monks. They did offered the White Tara statues, robes, books, food, drinks and many wonderful and beautiful pictures offerings to the monks. Looking at those pictures in this blog post tells more. Truly a great memories for them.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Self-Arising Chenrezig”a statue believed to have manifested on its own, without human hands. It is a powerful symbol of the Bodhisattva of Compassion either in forms of male and female according to culture and the needs of society. There are many places where great enlightened beings and mahasiddhas who have practised shown miracles. Self-arisen images of the deities have manifested , the Phagpa Temple at Triloknath, Himachal Pradesh is one such place. The Trilokinath Temple is a sacred site in the Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh, India, unique 8th-century temple for being revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. The temple, located near the Chenab River and Udaipur, features a blend of architectural styles and religious elements from both faiths. Merely looking at this Self Arising Chenrezig statue is a blessing. This statue is extremely precious and we should make prostrations, offerings and prayers to it as much as possible. If given a chance of visiting this temple I would definitely love to. Well there is an interesting legend behind this Sacred Chenrezig Statue.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this great sharing.

    Impermanence is important in Buddhism because it is a key to reducing suffering by helping practitioners let go of attachment to the transient nature of all things. Recognizing that everything we own, from material possessions to emotions and even life itself is temporary. From that point of view ,it encourages one to live in the present, develop resilience, and find inner peace. We have to except the fact we came to this whole with nothing ,goes with nothing. Recognizing and accepting impermanence is considered key to understanding and overcoming suffering. When we attach to things we perceive as permanent will leads us to disappointment and pain. The Buddha teaches that the path to peace and joy requires that we embrace change rather than pine for permanence. Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this very precise post.

    Different religions and faiths have unique teachings ,and thwew is no right or wrong. All have their respective views of divinity, humanity’s relationship with the divine . Many faiths share common principles, like compassion and ethical conduct. All religions in the world teach us empathy, compassion, harmony and respect.
    Love peace harmony kindness balance of mind health body and spirit. Respect for all things. That’s true religion. They differ in practices and methods, but they ultimately lead to the same goal.
    Thank you Rinpoche interesting topic shared.

    Thank you H E Tsem Rinpoche and Pastor Seng Piow for creating this YouTube channel which has benefited many people all over the world. Great idea indeed where we learn , from the Dharma sharing. Pastor Seng Piow first started Rinpoche YouTube channel years ago back 2006. A very powerful Dharma talk and sharing by Tsem Rinpoche that covers a wide range of topics, and with Rinpoche explanation we could understand better. Kechara blog team has compiled a collection of videos, for us . It did help me to understand and learn more of Dharma through those videos. More to learn for me . Merely by listening to Rinpoche voice is a blessing.
    Thanks again 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.

    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
