Uncle Lai

Mar 24, 2011 | Views: 821

Uncle Lai joined Kechara a few years back. He had many spiritual questions and many went unanswered for years. When his son joined Kechara, his son would share the many things he had learned at Kechara with his dad in the evenings. They would sit together to talk, exchange views and ponder. Uncle Lai really liked what the son shared with him. He didn’t feel his son was pushy or forcing any views on the dad but felt love, concern and care for the dad in the sharings…. It was a simple sharing of dharma between father and son. It was evenings every parent and child would enjoy together exchanging views on deeper things in life… You see father and son have a very good relationship and they love each other very much.

One day Uncle Lai decided to visit Kechara. He liked what he saw and stayed. Gradually Uncle Lai realized he wanted to keep busy, do something useful and participate in the collection of merits. Uncle Lai volunteered to do various jobs over the last few years. Whatever he volunteered to do, he would do it and no excuses. Gradually everyone in Kechara realized what a honourable man Uncle really is. He speaks little, works hard, never criticizes, very diligent. Once he’s checked something out and he makes his decisions, he just goes all the way with it with no more doubts. He checks things out thoroughly at first though as Uncle Lai is a sharp man…

He didn’t come to Kechara to solve his problems, or to get money, or want to make connections, find friends for socializing, want a quick fix or wanted a miracle to repair any huge mistakes he has done in the past. He came to understand spirituality more..to incorporate spirituality into his life and to be happier in his golden years. Senior people like Uncle Lai are just as useful and productive as anyone else and Uncle Lai is a shining example of this. You do not hear him complain or make excuses. With Uncle Lai, what you see is what you get. He is straightforward, easy and very pragmatic. Yes is yes and no is no. But Uncle Lai is also very gentle and very good mannered for lack of a better phrase. You never have to remind or chase Uncle Lai for whatever he has agreed to do… He doesn’t promise and then disappoint you. He has integrity. Without integrity how can we be spiritual leave alone be enlightened? Dharma practice or being spiritually attuned to yourself and others is not disappointing others. Not disappointing others because you didn’t forget and you went all the way without reminders. This will open others to their spirituality. Why? Because then they will listen to what you have to say because you do what you say. What you say is what you do. Never underestimate integrity. It will take you a long way. In the higher tantras, any success or attainments will depend on your words of honour, vows or simply your integrity. What you have vowed and promised at the time of initiation should be honoured for the rest of your life. To go for any higher practices, practicing integrity now in daily ‘ordinary’ situations with everyone around you is of utmost importance…

Uncle Lai has volunteered to be part of the team that cleans our beautiful Kechara Gompa weekly. He diligently does so without any prompting or reminders. Uncle Lai is one of those elderly people that carry the name elder very well. We should respect elderly people for their lifetime of experience, work and wisdom in general. I am sorry to say, there are elderly people difficult to respect, even still we just let them be.. We should respect the seniors and be attentive to them. With Uncle Lai it is easy to respect. He may be a simple man, but heroes are simple…they make you believe you can be better…You can see Uncle Lai in the picture above lovingly and caringly dusting off the sacred statue of Setrap in Kechara Gompa.

Personally I respect Uncle Lai very much. I like him very much and care about him. It warms my heart to no end to see him involved in Kechara, because the merits accrued from his dharma work will do very well for Uncle Lai in this life and future lives. I want Uncle Lai to be ok in this life and future lives. I sincerely do.. I have no power to do this for him, but the merits from the Dharma work he does will help him. The Dharma work he has taken refuge in will do him very well and for that I am dancing inside my heart for him…

I was told a few times, since meeting Kechara and getting involved, Uncle Lai has been much lighter and much happier. Sweet music to my ears to know he is much happier…. He is no longer at home in the kitchen just thinking by himself. He is active, has purpose and very much a respected member of Kechara House. All senior citizens deserve activity, love, respect and purpose. Their kids may have grown, but the parents are just the same, they need activity and purpose just like anyone else. Uncle Lai and what he does has nothing to do with being a senior citizen but everything to do with being a wonderful human being who is one of the precious people in Kechara you don’t hear much about but work just as hard as people you do hear about. But that does not mean Uncle Lai and many like him in Kechara is not a HERO. Uncle Lai is one of the heroes of Kechara. Without people like Uncle Lai, Kechara would not be what it is today….Uncle Lai is a hero…a hero in life and hero of Kechara.

I want to say I really care about Uncle Lai from the bottom of my heart. I am proud and genuinely happy to be a part of his life. I want to work for the rest of my life with Uncle Lai.

Thank you Uncle Lai for being who you are…..

Humbly,
Tsem Rinpoche

    Uncle Lai is my dad youngest brother who I’m very fond of when I was a kid. As I could remembered, each time when he sees me,he will carry me and go for walk before return me to my parents. In fact, all of us (cousins)have this experienced with him.He likes children a lot.

    There are once, one of my cousin complemented him as a very decent and delicate man.Despite being the youngest in the family, my uncle never show bad tempered and he always remain quiet and calm. I truly admired his strong and firm character.

    I wish my beloved uncle,Uncle Lai will always be healthy, cheerful and may Dharma be with him all time.Lastly, I humbly like to say a big THANK YOU to Rinpoche for sharing this lovely article about my uncle.

    Dear Uncle Lai,

    I’m so grateful to meet you,Uncle Lai. I met you first time when we were in Kechara Sunday Dharma School about 2 years ago. I was so inspired to see you why do you choose to teach in kids class. “Kids are pure, we are here to plant the seeds and makes them become a better person in future.” said Uncle Lai. I always do respect Uncle Lai of his charisma and his energy. Although he is the youngest one, which we always mentioned. He always being so sporting, humours ,and always share dharma with me. Sometimes he called me or look for me after the class, to teach him how to use the smart phone which just bought. He really inspire me learning is without limit.

    Uncle Lai always smile and always stay humble. He is always showing his gratitude to the kids in the class. The kids always do likes him. Uncle Lai always told us, “we always learn new things from the kids which always inspire me”. Some of the kids are so miss Uncle Lai in KSDS.

    I wish Uncle Lai always stay healthy and always be bless by Three Jewels.

    Unlce Lai,
    We sharing Dharma from KP Bentong till Bentong Kopi-Tiam, ( most of the times i’ll listen to him ), eat dinners together ( most of the times are dinner ), we jokes around and sometimes we listen to the same musics ( mostly all 70’s songs ) and we laugh together.
    He is my Dharma Brother, Best Buddy and even i treated as my older ( Real one ) Brother.
    Uncle Lai – Yo man… Best friend ( Buddy ) forever..!!
    A song for Best Buddy – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XDB7GMnbUQ

    Somehow I bumped into Uncle Lai in Kechara quite often, especially in Kechara Forest Retreat. Although Uncle Lai has his ups & downs (just like anyone else), he always greets people with warmth energy. He is “super” because he would do anything to help: cleaning altar & statue, become a Dharma teacher for kids’ class, housekeeper, sweeping fallen leaves etc.

    Stay healthy Uncle Lai and we definitely wish you can spend a lot more time in KFR and do many more retreats.

  5. Sheryl KH (JB) on Jul 28, 2012 at 6:00 pm

    I have never met Uncle Lai in person, but reading this post makes me feel that he is the kind of elder person who I would like to introduce to any one in their golden years as a good inspiration!

    Many times senior citizens thought that they cannot really do much, I feel that they have lost their focus due to many decades of focuses on their own children and grand-children. Then, grievances start and many other problems arise. I feel that this is all because of a lack of happiness arising from oneself.

    It is really nice to read the story of father-son evening sharing moments and that Uncle Lai steps into Kechara without those typical reasons, such as looking for quick fix. I guess, deep inside his heart, he feels that dharma can really bring him happiness.

    I wish that Uncle Lai can continue on serving dharma, understanding and applying dharma in his life. Like what Rinpoche has said, what Uncle Lai has been doing will be good for his current and future lives. I wish Uncle Lai many more fulfilled and happy days ahead!

  6. Lim Han Nee on Apr 18, 2011 at 9:48 am

    Dear Rinpoche,
    Thank you for this very heartwarming post on Uncle Lai.To me, he is like a mountain, unshakable in his sense of responsibility. He is so quiet and unassuming that one can literally not realize his presence. But it is because of this – his going around doing the cleaning of KH gompa. altars and statues so quietly but purposefully and mindfully – that makes him an inspiration to all. He projects Dharma in action. He makes all, especially elderly members of Kechara, feel we can still make our lives meaningful in Dharma work whatever shape this takes.

  7. Jessi Bryant on Apr 13, 2011 at 2:35 am

    I’m so happy I clicked on this article on a whim. Thank you Uncle Lai, for being an inspiration to so many people. 🙂

  8. Margaretlee on Apr 2, 2011 at 12:11 am

    Uncle Lai, you may not know but you are an inspiration to many. You come with an open heart, no mind games and you are here at Kechara solely for your spirituality.

    I had the good fortune to work with you for the renovation of KH2 back in 2007. You are such a wonderful and sincere person.

    I have much respect for you for being who you are.

  9. David Lai on Mar 29, 2011 at 12:52 am

    I am really glad that my dad met the Dharma and I even happier that he has found so much meaning in practicing the Dharma. I am really proud and happy for him. Right from the beginning when I discussed the Dharma with him, I didn’t have to convince him too much. He naturally had an inclination to think deep and loved Rinpoche’s teachings because it answers a lot of questions. One day, he told me that he truly admire Rinpoche because he is such a great leader.

  10. 9W2LTL on Mar 27, 2011 at 5:29 pm

    When I first join Kechara in 2007, I was virtually alone as I have no friends or relatives in Kechara. It was madam Lim Han Nee that helps me through my initial period by inviting me to participate in some of the KH activities and patiently explain to me about KH and reasons that why we do protector practice. I always think of her as my guide in this uncharted land.
    As I get to volunteering in more activities, it was Uncle Lai that I relied on to even until today.
    I love’s to tag and team up with him on any jobs, as he is man with few words and only focused on getting jobs done. It is only praises that he uttered at the end of the day when job done.
    It is this good quality of him I always admire and try to emulate.

  11. patsy on Mar 25, 2011 at 10:19 pm

    I have known Uncle Lai for many years. Uncle Lai is a man of few words and very soft spoken. He doesnt complain or cause any difficulties. Whatever work he is committed to do, he will do it diligently with love and care.

    May we all be able to enjoy our old age like Uncle Lai serving the dharma. Thank you, Rinpoche, for sharing the beautiful article with us and Thank you, Uncle Lai, for showing us what dharma work is all about.

  12. kwok wai on Mar 25, 2011 at 5:44 pm

    Yes, Uncle Lai is indeed one of KH’s unsung heroes ! I admire his quiet resolve and steely determination in whatever that is, he sets out to do . He definitely earned my respect as an elder. And no one could have described his qualities better than Rinpoche himself. Excellent !

  13. KH Ng on Mar 25, 2011 at 3:06 pm

    Uncle Lai is one of the first persons I know when I joined Kechara in 2006 and he is one of the people who made me feel very comfortable with the organisation. He is the one who did all the setup of offerings on the altar before each puja and the last to leave after the puja. He had to clean up and lock up the prayer hall. He does his work without fuss and has no anger. Never seen that in him. Reminds me of my dearest departed father! Uncle Lai has my utmost respect. With folded hands I bow to you!

  14. Han Siew Fong on Mar 25, 2011 at 12:25 pm

    I respect uncle Lai very much. He sets a very good example in practicing dharma.
    Always see him volunteer in KH various events, he smiles a lot but talks less…thanks uncle Lai !

  15. Jace Chong on Mar 25, 2011 at 12:16 pm

    Thanks Rinpoche for sharing this, i respect Uncle Lai very much also.

    My first experience with Uncle Lai was during the stage play Legend of Conch Shell, he played as Rendawa (one of Lama Tsongkapa’s Guru) in the play. He is a very friendly, kind and simple man.

    Even he only have 3 scenes, he practiced well and very serious about it. I remember the scene where Tsongkapa is leaving his Guru,and sang Rendawa a praise, and Rendawa sang Migsema back to Tsongkapa. Every time i watch that scene, i was in tears, it’s very touching. Swee Keong, who play as Tsongkapa praised Uncle Lai for that scene. Swee Keong said he really feel like a son leaving a father.

    Howie and me were incharged to ‘take care’ Uncle Lai, mainly because he was not wearing spec on the stage, when the scene finished we stand by at back stage to hold his hand and walk in the dark. Then we run to changing room, help Uncle Lai put on another clothes as the next scene he played as a Tibetan who does prostrations. He’s so cute, never complain, and we enjoy participating the play very much!

    Sometimes he will tell me some Dharma stories. I remember he asked me “Do you know what does peacock represent in Buddhism?” And he explained how peacock can’t be poisoned, just like a Bodhisattva, he recommend me to read .

    I thank him very very much, he inspired me to do more.

    May Uncle Lai always in good health, happy and long life!!

  16. henry ooi on Mar 25, 2011 at 11:38 am

    Uncle Lai is setting very good examples of how senior citizens can use their time to benefit others. He always helps in any event in Kechara, even distributing brochures at pasar malam. Like Rinpoche says, Uncle Lai just does what needs to be done.

    There are some younger people who asked what dharma work they can do. Follow what Uncle Lai is doing. Your effort is important to Kechara, the people we are reaching out to, and to yourself.

    Thank you, Uncle Lai, for setting the stage for others to emulate.

  17. KYC on Mar 25, 2011 at 11:10 am

    I like Uncle Lai and respect him very much. He is sincere, simple and easy to get along with. I learned how to set up altars from Uncle Lai in KH2. On days when I had to buy offerings for the Setrap puja, Uncle Lai would be there to set up the altar and he would let me help him. He would ask me to pour the milk , the tea or the beer. I think he wanted me to collect merits.

  18. Mimi on Mar 25, 2011 at 9:31 am

    I and my daughter Cherie had the opportunity to clean up the gompa when we decided to spend one whole Monday in Kechara while in KL. There we met Uncle Lai whom diligently guide us how to clean the 3 statues and my 10 years old daughter volunteered to go up. It is great meeting Uncle Lai.

  19. em on Mar 25, 2011 at 9:02 am

    I don’t know Uncle Lai – but reading this made me smile on the

    inside. diamonds are few and far between – thank-you for being

    who you are. .

  20. Jean Mei on Mar 25, 2011 at 2:52 am

    I really like how pleasant Uncle Lai is. He’s very calm, reserved but hardworking. He would help in any way that he can, and he doesn’t complain.

    Seeing him clean the Ladrang’s altar, he’s a pretty fit man!! He can climb and wipe things around without getting tired easily. He has really good concentration as well.

    You’re an awesome old man, Uncle Lai! 🙂

  21. Paris on Mar 25, 2011 at 1:10 am

    Yes, I do love Uncle Lai!! He really is a hero to us for showing us what we can all be and how much we can each contribute at every stage in our life. If Uncle Lai, who is older than me and retired can contribute in such a loving and meaningful way to the centre, then there is no excuse for me, or any of us who still have more energy and youth on our side to not do more (sorry, I don’t mean any disrespect to Uncle Lai in saying this… )

    What Rinpoche said is so true about Uncle Lai never saying a bad word, never causing any difficulties. On the contrary, he is always ready with a smile, never too busy or in a hurry to stop and say hello to you, address you by name and give you a big smile. He takes notice of everyone who comes his way and he genuinely and sincerely wants to wish them a good day by saying a simple hello. It’s a simple gesture but such an important reminder to each of us that as we rush around in the day, we forget the simplest but most meaningful things.

    Thank you Uncle Lai, I fold my hands to you _/|\_

  22. Shirley Maya Tan on Mar 24, 2011 at 11:09 pm

    Uncle Lai is amazing for many reasons. However, these are the main two reasons I’d like to share here.

    1) As a father – he has willingly put aside his own ideas of what was right or wrong and allowed his son to find his own way. When Uncle Lai witnessed the transformation his son experienced under Rinpoche’s guidance, Uncle Lai supported his son all the way. To the point of getting involved in Kechara himself now.

    2) As a Dharma friend – Uncle Lai is always helpful and very gracious. Uncle Lai will humbly do the lowest of jobs, be it cleaning an altar or moping the toilet in the center – to Uncle Lai, he is serving the Dharma and that is always supreme. Hence, Uncle Lai does these cleaning with a sense of pride because he understands it is his privilege and honour to be doing any Dharma work.

    It is a real joy and privilege to know Uncle Lai. He is always smiling and very caring. Most of all, he truly loves his son for who his son is, not for what he thinks his son should be. That’s huge in my books.

    Thank you, Uncle Lai.

  23. Judy Lam on Mar 24, 2011 at 10:58 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche,for writing such a beautiful article on Uncle Lai. I have a lot of respect for Uncle Lai, as I have known him to be a most down to earth person, humble and hardworking man. He and his wife has brought up a wonderful son David and I have always admired their relationship as one that is very loving and deep care for one another. Uncle Lai can be seen always helping out cleaning the Gompa and keeping active all the time. There is much we can learn from Uncle Lai and his valuable contributions to Kechara and may he be blessed by the Buddhas always.

  24. Yee Ling on Mar 24, 2011 at 10:07 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,
    As one of the newer overseas members of Kechara, I get to interact with other Kechara members when I am in Kuala Lumpur. I do know Uncle Lai even if he may not know me. The first time I “met” him was when he very kindly gave my nephew Nicholas Lee and myself a ride home late one evening after the Setrap puja. He is not a man of many words but is unfailingly gracious and courteous. He together with Uncle Eddie is one of the mainstays and familiar faces I expect to see whenever I am in the Gompa. I love the fact that he is so involved with activities at Kechara and provides a steady and calming influence in the midst of the sometimes frantic energy of the wonderful young people.

    He is an example of what I would like to be when I get to his age – a person who keeps his word and quietly accomplishes what he sets out to do and stays involved with helping out in his individual way.

    May he and others like him be well and be blessed in every way in this life and all future lives.

    The highest purification practice is the meditation on emptiness but for all us, that is pretty impossible at this stage. We instead can engage in prostrations, 35 Confessional Buddha sutra, taking and holding vows, refraining from harm and Vajrasattva practice. Purification practices are essential for our spiritual growth. They remove negative karmic imprints and mental defilements, creating space for positive qualities to flourish .Hence its very important to practice purification in our lives which will help to cleanse our mind of negative karma. These practice inturn also remove mental defilements like anger, jealousy, and attachment. There are four powers in order to purify negative actions, firstly the power of refuge, the power of regret, the power of the antidote, and the power of resolution. By removing negative influences, purification practices create a fertile ground to develop positive qualities such as love, compassion, and wisdom. These practices have the power to purify obscuration and negative karma that prevent us from actualizing the path. With the help of these purification techniques, such as prostration, mantra recitation of the 100-syllable mantra and meditation on the deity Vajrasattva involving visualization, we could transform of heavy energies into the lightness. Vajrasattva practice is a powerful purification practice in Tibetan Buddhism.
    Thank you Rinpoche for presenting us the practice of Vajrasattva.

    Osiris is a prominent figure in Egyptian mythology, known as the god of the afterlife and his worship involved rituals and festivals. Is also known the underworld, resurrection, and fertility . Osiris is famously depicted as a green-skinned, mummified figure, often described holding a crook and flail, and wearing a distinctive crown. Interesting story behind this Osiris as a king who was murdered by his own brother Seth because of extremely jealousy . Due to the popularity of his story filmmaker made it into American science fiction action film.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting sharing of Egyptian mythology.

    Antique shops specializing in Buddhist art can be a good source, particularly for rare or antique pieces. But be cautious when buying from less reputable sources. Some statues may be illegally obtained such as stolen from temples or it might comes with something else .
    Hecelus Tan received an antique Buddha statue given by a relative. He looked at the statue feeling uneasy and having nightmare since then. Quite a few disturbance and he experienced unforeseen incidence as he related those nightmare to his parents. After consulted a Tibetan Buddhist friend as advice to return back to the shop. Then what happened next the Buddha’s head broken and was returned later.
    Thank you sharing your first paranormal experience.

    Revisit this article of how the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden took trance of the famous Panglung Oracle that had helped the H H 14th Dalai Lama on his historic escape to India. A guerrilla fighting group was formed escorting Dalai Lama through the escape route as advised by the Oracle safely into exile in India, all the way invoking Dorje Shugden to keep them safe and protected . After ensuring that His Holiness was safely in exile, they returned back to Tibet staving off the Chinese incursions. The truth must be known to all its Dorje Shugden who had saved the Dalai Lama’s life.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting sharing.

    I do believe the paranormal, everything which includes unseen beings, spirits do exist after-all. Kids with special abilities, often referred as gifted or talented. They do demonstrate exceptional abilities in one or more areas, such as academics, arts, or sports. They may show advanced cognitive skills, creative thinking, or physical prowess for their age. Identifying and nurturing these abilities is crucial for their development and well-being. They somehow expressed themselves through art, music, or other creative pursuits. I do believe they have magical powers and especially the ones that are a little bit different. Interesting watching the video.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    The term Concert of Names of Manjushri is a tantric text within Tibetan Buddhism, describing the various names and qualities of the bodhisattva Manjushri. Its usually recited and often memorized by practitioners in Buddhist ceremonies The text consists of verses that praise and invoke the qualities of Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom and knowledge. By just chanting the names of Manjushri, bring numerous benefits, primarily focused on enhancing wisdom, memory, and clarity of mind. Some traditions associate the practice with protection from negative influences, such as black magic, sickness, and negative karma.
    Thank you Rinpoche for introducing this powerful practice to us at Kechara Forest Retreat , Bentong, Pahang.

    The Jonang lineage traces its roots back to the 12th century, the profound teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni. Interesting read of the History of Jonang lineage and how it converted to Gelug and how Kalachakra maintain in Gelug until today. The Jonang lineage is a school of Tibetan Buddhism that emphasizes the Kalachakra Tantra. It originated in Tibet, though suppressed in the 17th century, the Jonang tradition persevered in remote regions of Tibet and is now experiencing a revival. The Jonang lineage offers a unique perspective on Buddhist philosophy and practice, influencing other Tibetan Buddhist traditions.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing about this profound lineage.

    Even its an old post ,revisit again as its good to know that years back our Kechara Forest Retreat was in China Press. Even till now it did came into news with many more updates . That’s wonderful as more people are aware of such a beautiful Holy place at Bentong,Pahang. Kechara Forest Retreat has since been one of the tourist attraction in the state. Introducing this Holy place those days had attracted more and more people seeing for themselves the world largest Dorje Shugden Statue is located. It has since benefited many people paying homage to Dorje Shugden and others Holy Statues there.

    Since escaping from China in 1959, Tibetans refugees settled down in different parts of Indian. The Tibetan leadership and those in exile were given land, opportunities, education and aid, and so many Western charities help them. The Indian government under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru was kind enough and they could do whatever they like. Tibetan settlements in South India have been severely affected by a regional drought. In Tibetian Buddhism accomplished masters could influence the weather. As long as practitioners accomplished in their practices, they had guru devotion and pure samaya with their teachers, it could be done. Many witnesses including our Guru H E Tsem Rinpoche saw the masters could stop the rains. The prayers and rituals have not been effective as they gave up their commitments to their lineage lamas, related to their Dorje Shugden practice. Moreover they have lost faith in great master and gurus as they practise Dorje Shugden. They have creates very heavy negative karma. Great masters could stop the rains and making it rain and save the harvest. For the sake of the people who are suffering from horrendous drought, those samaya must be repaired practitioners must all be united again and not discriminate each others due to their Dorje Shugden practice. The Tibetan government should also repair this samaya. Interesting read .
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this .

    Manjushri is one of the most important figures in Mahayana Buddhism, and is considered a patron deity of wisdom and learning. By practicing Manjushri our wisdom can enhance and improve significantly. Helps help us with our memory.
    Through Rinpoche’s sponsorship at Gaden Sharte Monastery many monks had benefited. Rejoice to them receiving the initiation .Sponsoring the Dharma, which refers to supporting the teachings and practices of Buddhism, is considered a meritorious act in Buddhism. Acts of generosity and support for the Dharma are believed to generate positive karma, leading to positive consequences in this life and future lives.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing and explaining it.

    David Bowie, was an English singer, songwriter and actor and was once a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner. Regarded as among the most influential musicians of the 20th century . The English singer, songwriter and actor David Bowie died at his Lafayette Street home in New York City but in his will he requested his ashes to be spread according to the Buddhist rituals of Bali, Indonesia. He must been to Bali and fall for the beauty of Buddhism and culture of Bali to choose BUDDHIST ritual upon his death. David Bowie made a conscious choice that made perfect sense, not allowing fans and media to focus on his body and his death.
    Thank you Rinpoche.

    HORRIFYING, feeling sad after watching the video. The way or rather methods of slaughtering of pigs at slaughter house is indeed cruel. Just like human beings, they do feel pain and fear to be slaughter. No living beings would choose to die in pain or a painful death. Hopefully those methods have since been changed to minimize animal suffering. Stop consuming meat and choosing to go meatless or on vegetarian is the best choice.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this to bring awareness of how those poor pigs suffer before been killed.

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
