Two videos of my beloved fish pond. The first video is when there was no fish and we thought there was chlorine. The second video is after the pool was set up and there was no chlorine after all, safe for fishes. I have koi, parrot fish, Ryukins, Oscars, sucker fish, river fish, cichlids and Severums.
Arranged lotus plants, large variety of fish, and a sacred Vajra Yogini to bless the fishes in the fish pond…..it so soothing to see the rain cascading onto the pond giving my fish more and fresh water. I see this right outside my window..I really love this. I love animals. I love when they are happy.

Dear Rinpoche,
I hope you didn’t purchase these fish. Fish are bred for profit and that’s morally unjustifiable. They are not property to be sold. It would be better to find out if there are fish (or other animals) you can adopt from some dire situation. http://www.veganpamphlet.com
Dear Trish ,
May i just comment if you dont mind , whether its purchase or got of some dire situation it makes not much difference if you look at it from the point that every animals needs salvation or liberation. There is no way we can choose who we help and not help based on where these fishes came from. The point here is to save fishes.
um so should we just let the fish die in their tanks or…buy over the whole business?
just wondering about the best way to save the poor fishes…any ideas?
hi joey, i guess the only way is to do out best moment by moment, fish by fish, or animal by animal, we may not be able to do it all at once. but it does not mean we cannot do all we can at one time.

I really would enjoy having a pond with fishes by my bedroom, maybe to hear the rain coming down so softly, how peaceful.
Dear Riponche, Very nice setup…love your pond. More plants ie lotus or lily would be nice. As it’ll make the fishes less jittery as there are more cover and foilage. Also plants help keep the water quality good as they absorb all excess nitrates from fish poo…
Oh! listen to the rhythm of the falling rain…pitter patter pitter patter..
For a moment just watching this brings calm and serenity into our lives…
Rinpoche, they are very beautiful and look very happy. These are very fortunate fish to be with you! Thank you for sharing.
Luckily Rinpoche got these pictures when it is raining. It looks so peaceful and nice with all these fishes swimming around. No wonder Rinpoche like it so much. I can imagine myself cosily wrap up with a blanket and looking out of my bedroom window seeing the fishes swimming around. The Lotus and Vajrayogini Statue standing in the middle of the pond reminds you of the Dharma. Then instantly you will think of Spirituality. Another good idea is if you have a mini swimming pool in your house and if you don’t make use of it. You can convert into a fish pond which will be the object of you meditation when you pray.
