KHJB Invites Dorje Shugden to Johor Bahru!
I enjoy receiving updates on the various Dharma activities that takes place in the different Kechara departments and study groups.
Recently, I received news on our study group in the Southern most state of Malaysia, Kechara House Johor Bahru (KHJB). They had invited a Dorje Shugden statue to their center so that the people of Johor Bahru are able to receive blessings for many generations to come!
They had gotten the statue from one of our Kechara Paradise outlets, and had the statue painted by the very talented people in Kechara Saraswati Art.
Upon inviting the statue, Pastor Yek Yee and the Kechara Puja Team followed the KHJB members down to their study group premise in Johor Bahru. They did a puja to consecrate the statue, blessed their study group premise and also helped guide them through the necessary preparations needed to invite Dorje Shugden. The Pastors and Puja Team work tirelessly for the welfare of others, I sincerely thank them for their kindness and hard work.
I also rejoice in the trust that KHJB have in Dorje Shugden… and in their great compassion, having made the effort to invite Dorje Shugden to Johor Bahru (JB). May Dorje Shugden’s practice continue to spread and benefit others.
Below are a few pictures provided by Casteven Lim, one of the committee members of KHJB. Do take a look.

KHJB invited Pastor Yek Yee and Kechara Puja House team to conduct a Soongdrup & Radney puja to consecrate the Dorje Shugden statue. We had also requested for Pastor Yek Yee and team to guide and join us for our first Dorje Shugden grand puja. The team arrived in KHJB at 5:45a.m but there weren't any sort of complaint made or unhappiness shown
Pastor Yek Yee and team had the offerings and tormas set up very nicely

We have also set up a throne for His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche. A throne is where the Lama sits and gives teachings, this is to create a cause for the Lama (in this case is H.E Tsem Rinpoche) to visit the center
Pastor Yek Yee and team had the offerings and tormas set up very nicely
It took about 3 hours for the Soongdrup and Rabney puja to complete

68 members and friends have joined us for the Dorje Shugden puja. We dedicate the merits we have collected to our beloved Guru, Tsem Rinpoche's good health and long life and to continue to turn the wheel of Dharma
After the puja, Pastor Yek Yee kindly gave us explanation on " Who's Dorje Shugden?", "What's Dorje Shugden's Lineage?" and "What are the benefits of doing Dorje Shugden's prayer?"
Everyone was very focused on what Pastor Yek Yee was sharing
After the Dharma sharing session, guests lined up to receive blessings from Pastor Yek Yee. Below are images of the different people who received blessings from Pastor Yek Yee. Thank you, Pastor Yek Yee for your compassion and patience
Please support us so that we can continue to bring you more Dharma:

KHJB Inviting Dorje Shugden could not have been better news than that for the folks in Johor. May Dorje Shudgen influence pervade the 10 directions and bring benefit to the folks in the southern region.
It was through the blessing of Dorje Shugden and the accumulated merit and team spirit of the KHJB team and sponsors that we could materialise this holy and memorable event at our Kechara House Johor Bahru in such a short period.
We would like to thank the dedicated puja team lead by Pastor Yek Yee to consecrate and bless our chapel for such an important event.All the participants and sponsors was so glad and fortunate to be blessed by pastor Yek Yee at the end of the event ( may all their obstacles be removed ).
We are confident,with the presence of Lord Dorje Shugden at our KHJB, we would be able to spread the knowledge and practice of Dorje Shugden to all those keen dharma practitioner in the southern region of Malaysia at a faster pace during these degenerate times .
OM BENZA WIKI BITANA SOHA…
When I think of Kechara Johore Chapter, faces of Castaven and June Kang appears. They have relentlessly worked hard to share the Dharma with our friends down south.
Now that Kechara is known to propitiates Dorje Shugden, their effort to benefit others with the Dharma and blessings of our Protector will multiply manifolds.
Congratulations KHJB and may the blessings of Dorje Shugden be with you always.

Such wonderful new!!! Casteven is such a wonderful person and along with the KHJB team who have consistently showed their pure dedication to the Dharma and Lama Tsongkhapa’s lineage. And I am not surprised because they have such a wonderful Pastor, Pastor Yek Yee, to guide them through this precious spiritual path.
Congratulations to KHJB for inviting such a beautiful statue of Dorje Shugden. May Lama Tsongkhapa’s lineage and teachings and dharma grow in Johor so many people may be liberated from samsara.
