Today’s Cute Attack!!

Jul 18, 2012 | Views: 834

Dear friends, nice to have a ‘CUTE ATTACK’ once a day!! What is a cute attack? Well it is a phrase I coined meaning something so cute you get a positive ‘attack’ on your senses and mind. An ‘attack’ of something very cute that it puts your mind in a positive state. With that positive state of mind, you are happy and bring happiness to those around you. May you always be happy.

Well here is your cute attack of the day!! Enjoy and have a good day. Remember never hurt animals in any manner, shape or form.

    They’re all so cute!!! I love these pictures! If I have to choose… hmm… I like the one where the bulldog sleeping face down hehe

  2. MayOng on Jul 18, 2012 at 5:49 pm

    All of these Cute Attack cutie pies pics are sooooooooooo Cuteeeeeee!
    I love all of them. The immediate thoughts I had on my mind was these furry animals are adorable and lovable. We keep these as pets as companions, to play with and to love them. They can teach us how to be human with loving kindness.

  3. Sofi on Jul 18, 2012 at 6:02 pm

    Very cute! Makes the heart all soft and fuzzy.

  4. VICTOR PHANG on Jul 18, 2012 at 6:04 pm

    wah, I love all these pictures… super super cute… hehe! Should show all these pictures to those meat eaters. Let them contemplate and rethink their decision to eat all these cute beings. Om Mani Padme Hung _/\_

    Lovely posting !! Sure take the blues away … Been watching this post with the family . Here are our votes … Melissa and CK likes the doggy on the swing , Aidan likes the monkey feeding bottle to the tiger cub and I like the “surrendering”kitten …

  6. Karen C. on Jul 18, 2012 at 6:37 pm

    I love the one which monkey is feeding the cub. So sweet! This rare bond in animals is going against our fixated perception to animals, who says there is no friendship among animals? If different species of animals can get along with each other so well, i guess it’s not too hard for us human beings.

    I’ve found some interesting videos about unusual animal relationships:

  9. tenzin llhamo on Jul 18, 2012 at 6:47 pm

    My favourite picture will be the 2nd picture. The doggie really sleep tight there. :)

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this with us!

  12. Sean Wang on Jul 18, 2012 at 7:20 pm

    Oh my Buddha! This is so cute! This post should be encouraging people to not eat meat. When eating meat, imagine that you are eating these adorable creatures! I think you would gradually stop eating meat! My favorite pictures are the ones with the owls. They have such beautiful eyes!

  13. wei theng on Jul 18, 2012 at 7:38 pm

    Very cute! i especially like the one with porcupine on the shoulder. It really soften my heart and create a positive state of mind.
    With this mind, may i have more compassion to others.
    Thank you Rinpoche for using such a skillful way for us to practice.

  14. NadiaG on Jul 18, 2012 at 8:28 pm

    I love e one with the lil bird and the suitcase. Reminds me of when I was 5 and I wanted to run away from home. Stood outside the gate for hours coz Mommy told me never to cross the road without an adult haha,

  15. Ling on Jul 18, 2012 at 8:37 pm

    The Chimpanzee brings me back down memory lane back – childhood days… I had the joy of making a unique friendship of a different kind when I was I think around 5 years . One of my dad’s friend had to go away for a 2-week trip and we got the opportunity to have a chimp – ” Boy Boy ” with us. Staying at a Kampung has perks – places for pets to roam!

    Boy Boy was very smart and thoughtful – he offered and shared his food and drink – bananas, peanuts, 7-Up etc in a very sincere way. We were pals for simple reasons – almost same height, love to play and make new friends, love makan and climb trees…

    Yeap – He is one unforgettable friend and teacher … I remember him holding my hand gently with friendship and love. He showed our neighborhood kids that animals are every bit like us – they feel just like we do and have similar needs like us…plus how a little kindness makes the world go round!

    All the animal friends featured are equally cute and they sure capture our hearts!
    Thank you Rinpoche for posting and sharing them …

  16. Louise on Jul 18, 2012 at 10:31 pm

  18. Doreen Teoh on Jul 18, 2012 at 11:22 pm

    I love the birds…clinging all together….so cold and yet so
    warm with each other company. All pictures are cute in their unique way!

  19. Lim KH (JB) on Jul 18, 2012 at 11:22 pm

    I like the picture that Monkey feeding a tiger. It make me think that even animals may help each others then how about us?

  22. Carmen on Jul 19, 2012 at 12:47 am

    Looking through the pictures made me squeal! Thank you Rinpoche for the pictures, it did inject a feeling of positivity onto me as I was going through each and every picture. My favourite one is of the bulldog on the swing, but they are all pretty cute in their own way :)

    Thank you Rinpoche.

    Love,
    Carmen

  23. Li Kim on Jul 19, 2012 at 12:53 am

    THESE ARE SOOOOOO CUTE… I MUST LINK THEM TO MY FB. THANK YOU RINPOCHE.

  24. julia Tan on Jul 19, 2012 at 1:07 am

    Looking at these little kitten and doggies, my heart melted. How can they be so cute? Just like the little baby like that. Those holding the toy and sleep. I wished these pictures will make those people think and stop hurting animals. Please learn how to love them.

  25. Frederick Law on Jul 19, 2012 at 1:26 am

    Dear Rinpoche, i like all the picture, these cutey are soooo cute and adorable. Looking at them just make me smile. Animals are like baby, they are just adorable. The one i like best is the puppy wrap in towel and with tounge sticking out, just so cute. hehehe

  26. Milly on Jul 19, 2012 at 1:27 am

    My favorite is the one where the chimpanzee is feeding the tiger cub. Even animals have kindness in them. Its sad that these days, humans are worse than animals. The way they mistreat animals or their once upon a time pets. We should not mistreat or hurt animals as they are innocent. I also love the one with the doggie hugging a teddy bear while sleeping. But in general, all are so cute. Thank you Rimpoche for all these lovely pictures.

  27. Diana Pereyda on Jul 19, 2012 at 6:46 am

    animal’s are companions in this realm, their existence makes ours more bearable. If we love and care for them,they make us more human.

  28. guat hee on Jul 19, 2012 at 10:22 am

    太可愛了… I like the 1st picture the strawberry and turtle..
    (^-<)
    Thank you Rinpoche

  29. yurie on Jul 19, 2012 at 10:38 am

  30. wah ying on Jul 19, 2012 at 10:39 am

    I like the owl with glasses and dog on swing, so cute. Wish all have a happy day!

  31. i am may on Jul 19, 2012 at 11:30 am

    OMG OMG OMG….total cuteness attack… i love most of them, specially the kitties….. aaawwWWWWWW… hehehe.. thanks Rinpoche!

  32. Judy Lam on Jul 19, 2012 at 1:31 pm

    The mice feeding on cheese in the palms of a man is so adorable. Many people consider mice & rats as a menace, me included. Now that I understand that every life is precious, I tend to think that this mice is another living being and should not be deprived of basic needs like food. In this picture, the mice is obviously enjoying his/her food!

  33. Lim Han Nee on Jul 19, 2012 at 1:39 pm

    I love them all! Sooo…cute! Looking at them alone warms the cockles of my heart and makes my day. How on earth can anyone think of hurting any of these furry or feathery beings?

  34. Sam on Jul 19, 2012 at 1:44 pm

    Aiyo….All of them very super duper wonderful kawaii ne….I love the kitten lying upside down and the bull dog. We have no single reason to hust any of the animals. They are just too wonderful and adorable :D
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing.
    Please take care :)

  35. Mei Fong on Jul 19, 2012 at 2:09 pm

    The dog hugging the bear is my utmost favorite. Its as though they have found their peace by hugging the bear while sleeping. Totally made a brighter day for me

  36. Vane Kechara on Jul 19, 2012 at 2:41 pm

    waaa….they are all cute.. very cute. i most like a flying dog picture..its so cute..a superdog..hehe

  37. Cindy on Jul 19, 2012 at 3:08 pm

    I love the bird with the suitcase. so cute, like waiting for someone to pick him/her.

  38. David Lai on Jul 19, 2012 at 4:58 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,

    I love all these cute little pictures. Its amazing how Rinpoche or whoever managed to find such amazingly cute pictures of different kinds of ‘mumus’. They are all just too cute and I find it hard to decide which of the mumus are cuter. I think mumu picture number 10 is way too cute! Its just so cute that the little mouse have a little white teddy bear ( or maybe a mouse) to sleep with.

  39. Cynthia Ng on Jul 19, 2012 at 5:17 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for the sweet and cute photos :) I like the monkey feeding cub, this make me think of HARMONY!

  40. lucy yap on Jul 19, 2012 at 7:06 pm

    All these photos are very cute and funny indeed!I really love that adorable bulldog.How can we not be amused with these beautiful picture?Thank you Rinpoche for these great pictures.

  41. winnie on Jul 19, 2012 at 10:19 pm

    很美,实在可爱极了。全都喜爱

  42. Datuk May on Jul 19, 2012 at 10:47 pm

    I remember before I joined Kechara and met Rinpoche, I really never bothered with animals, birds etc and never even really experience nor particularly noticed their existence. My excuse is I am too busy. The real reason is ignorantly incapable of love and compassion. Total stupid unawareness.

    These days even an ant running around my table top will catch my attention and I will ensure I will not carelessly harm it. This awareness of all sentient beings is such a profound learning for me and I am so grateful for Rinpoche to have taught me to this awakening.

    The photos are amazingly cute and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Thank you Rinpoche.

  43. william on Jul 20, 2012 at 2:24 am

    All of the pics are super cute and adorable. I love the bulldog on the swing. He looks kind of given up from getting out of the swing and have the “whatever” feeling. Haha…..

  44. Uncle Eddie on Jul 20, 2012 at 1:00 pm

    Lovely pets like these can teach or influence us how to be loving human beings. Who in their normalcy, would ever think of eating such beautiful, lovely and happy creatures. Everyone of them is so adorable! How I wish the world can behave as adorable as them. There’ll be no wars, no killings no hatred, no anger and, such a world would be the greatest wonderful paradise to live in!

  45. AdelineTan on Jul 21, 2012 at 12:09 am

    They are all so cute and lovable and can really bring smile to your face.

  46. June Tang KH-JB on Jul 21, 2012 at 12:58 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche sharing these cute photos,they really make me smile^_^ They all are cute and adorable,my favourite picture is the one where bulldog sleeping face down..so cute..wish can hug them @_@

  47. Irene Lim on Jul 21, 2012 at 5:04 pm

    I love cute pictures! They all make me smile. They are all equally cute.

  48. jennifer on Jul 21, 2012 at 5:42 pm

    Love them all !!!!!

  49. henry ooi on Jul 21, 2012 at 7:43 pm

    So adorable! My favourite is the chimp feeding the tiger cub. It reminds me that if animals can show acts of compassion, why not we humans?

  50. Sheryl KH (JB) on Jul 22, 2012 at 12:56 am

    Thank you Rinpoche for taking the time to show us cute pictures from time to time….and reasserting the message time and again that we should not harm any animals in any shape or forms.

  51. Grace ( KSJC ) on Jul 22, 2012 at 5:34 pm

    i like this three picture most…so cute !
    1.the sleeping puppy hug the bear bear
    2.the gorilla feeding milk to the cub
    3. the cat raise up the hand when finger pointed on it…

  52. Leu Chong Hin (KH) JB on Jul 22, 2012 at 9:31 pm

  53. Low ksjc on Jul 22, 2012 at 10:16 pm

    Thank you for all the effort to compile all this great candid photos from the animal kingdom.I could not choose my favorite as I love them all.

  54. Tan HP - KH(JB) on Jul 24, 2012 at 9:14 pm

    I like all of them; they are all so lovely adorable cuties. The “America’s Most Funniest Animals” is also my favorite TV programs.It always delights me whenever I see these cute animals.

    Thank You.

  55. Wan Wai Meng on Jul 26, 2012 at 4:16 am

    I like the one with the kitty doing a ‘hands up’ routine.

  56. Veron Tung on Jul 27, 2012 at 9:34 am

    Just cant stop “awhh-ing”! Really all the cuteness keep attacking me! Ah~~~~!

    Just love the last pic~ since young i do always wondering, if there’s no one at home, does all the toy all comes to life, just like Toy Story. Or does Longlong or mumu or Zamkar dancing and partying at home when we are not around? Hmmm…. Shall i peek? :P

  57. Wendy Loh on Aug 19, 2012 at 11:33 pm

    OMB.. I love hamsters! I miss my little fuzzy balls… I seriously am contemplating to bring a few home… @_@ So cute!

  58. Julien Roth on Oct 23, 2012 at 2:32 pm

    This so cute! i can’t decide which picture i liked best. But i think it was the picture of the monkey feeding the tiger. The picture is showing the love a monkey towards the tiger. I love these images.
    My cousin Keng Hui was sitting next to me when i scrolling through the pictures. He couldn’t help saying “so cute!!!” to every single one of these pictures.Thank you for sharing Rinpoche.

  59. beatrix ooi on Oct 23, 2012 at 7:07 pm

    Awww..they r so adorable! Hehehe..I juz can’t get enough of it. My favourite picture is the 5th picture of a little hamster. It’s so tiny and cute!
    Thank You for sharing Rinpoche.
    Love,
    beatrix.

  60. Lucas Roth on Oct 30, 2012 at 3:27 pm

    oh my Buddha!!!!! this is so cute i will definitely have a good day once i have seen this. the dogs and cats eyes are really cute too

  61. edward ooi on Nov 5, 2012 at 10:51 pm

    Awww they are so cute!I like all of the picture

  62. sweekeong on Nov 12, 2012 at 2:55 am

    Haha. It’s hard to choose. Many are very cute. I like the dog wrapped in blanket with his tongue out. Very funny little dog. He look like a sea lion. Heheh :)

  63. Sean Wang on Nov 19, 2012 at 5:24 pm

    There are all so adorable. My favourite is the one with the giraffe kissing it’s young. I visited the zoo where the picture originated in Australia. The giraffes were at that point alive and well.

  64. Felix Kong on Nov 21, 2012 at 6:02 pm

    So cute , I like the first one.

  65. Milly on Dec 13, 2012 at 7:45 pm

    All the pictures are so cute. I like the chimpanzee feeding milk to the tiger cub. Animals have the compassionate nature in them too.

  66. Sean Wang on Dec 20, 2012 at 11:43 pm

    They are all so cute. My favourites are the pictures of the little kittens. I think that all animals deserve care and kindness even when they become old and “not as cute”. I actually visited to zoo where the picture of the giraffe mother kissing it’s child.

  67. Jutika Lam on Feb 7, 2013 at 6:35 pm

    Oh my buddha!!!! All these pictures just gave me a major cute attack! My it is amazing how funny and cute these pictures are!

    We should always treat our pets well and shower them with all the love, care and treats we possibly can because one can never know when our pet will pass on.

    Basically all of these 30 over pictures are all my favorites, it is really hard to choose the best one!

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing!

    Love
    Jutika

    Whenever we let anger control our actions, it’s a clear indication selfish mind is predominant.~Tsem Rinpoche Being selfish is the core of many of our emotional upheavals and unhappiness.~Tsem Rinpoche Please stop being held back by anger & fear, step into the light. Stop thinking, just relax and just do. Move forward.~Tsem Rinpoche You don’t have to be happy by making others unhappy. You can do better by living in the light.~Tsem Rinpoche Anger is when selfishness goes unchecked.~Tsem Rinpoche Anger is a cover for hating oneself.~Tsem Rinpoche Hurt is when selfishness is the focus of our lives.~Tsem Rinpoche Remain silent because it’s necessary not because you are lazy.~Tsem Rinpoche

    Being one of the closer student around Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, i do experience a lot of miracles, from someone who are very sick got heal or rain stop at certain moment that is urgent, some may think it’s all coincidence, let me tell you a real truth story that happened an hour ago. H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche, like to rescue animals such as fishes, dogs, birds and etc. In our new Kechara Forest Retreat land, Rinpoche have kindly requested one of the liaison Beng Kooi to build a fish pond for all the fishes that Rinpoche rescued. The contractors that we got in to build the fish pond was slow and delay a few deadline that they gave. Just 2 days ago, Rinpoche instructed the fish pond project to be call off and all workers should leave the fish pond site as soon as possible. While we still thinking why Rinpoche cancel this project as it’s one of Rinpoche wishes to build a very comfortable place for fishes. Something happened an hour ago, there was a big bang came from the fish pond site, the whole artificial waterfall wall collapse without people go near it. This artificial waterfall wall was made out of cement, wire mesh, metal bar and etc, it weigh easily 200-300 Kgs. Luckily Rinpoche have giving us warming do not go near this waterfall 2 days ago, and should stop all construction wall, just imagine the workers are still working when the waterfall fall, some people might died or serious injury now. Due to humility Rinpoche will not say a word or show his premonitions power, this happened many many times. Rinpoche just save a few life without them knowing it. A lot of people will think why such horrible thing can happened in a holy land like Kechara Forest Retreat, a Buddhist site should always safe from all accident, but we believe if a place that will be use to benefiting thousands, a lot of obstacles will appear, I will take this artificial waterfall accident as part of clearing our negative karma, may all the negative karma from all of us be cleared. It’s glad that this happened before we move any fishes into this pond. In Tibetan culture, it’s an auspicious omen which represent bad obstacles have been cleared, and all our project will grow very smoothly later. It’s very important we follow our lama’s instruction/advice, even though sometime we might not understand it truly, because a real lama will never do anything which is not beneficial.

    For tsemtulku – My dear Rinpoche,Alex & I met you 10 years ago. Because of your precious Dharma teachings & guidance, we are able to transform ourselves. Because of your Dharma vision, we now have 14 Departments for people with different skills & interest to be involve and for us to create merits in virtuous activities. I have been a part time vegetarian for sometime. Somehow i just wasn’t able to be a full vegetarian. After watching your teaching on “Integrity, Keeping promises & Vows”, it finally hit me. It is so true that having vows are not meant to “Imprison” us but really to help us transform positively to kick away our negative habits. I realize that from young, we have been condition to think that we have to eat meat and meat is delicious and it is part of life to consume meat in our daily diet. Hence we ignore the sufferings of others in order to indulge in our own taste buds. Lately, i have develop myself into feeding strays nearby my neighbourhood and I’m compelled to help strays via Kechara Animal Sanctuary. After deep contemplation, i realize that i cannot be wanting to help KAS and yet still eating meat. The equation is just so wrong. Now i can see clearly, it makes it so much easier to be a full vegetarian. Taking the vegetarian vow is not an imprisonment but it is another level of commitment to not be the source of pain to other sentient beings. It is a choice that we make to kick away our preconception of consuming meat for a balance diet.If one is against animal cruelty, then one should practice vegetarianism. Can’t be pitching for animal rights when you are still eating them. My daughter once said to me, “Mommy, animals are our friends so we shouldn’t be eating them”. I find that so profound coming from a kid. I’m very sure my family members will not be supportive of me going vegetarian but I pray that one day they will also come to the same realization as i have.
    I humbly offer to Rinpoche my vegetarian vow and may it be dedicated to Rinpoche’s long life. May it also be dedicated to my family, loved ones and friends.
    I will continue to get involve in KAS activities to assist Pastor Susan.
    Thank you my dear Lama.

    Most amusing is this unparalleled ingenuity of the highly inspired dramatic slogan (self-explanatory) in the cover picture of http://www.facebook.com/MBFSG?fref=ts which HHDL and all Buddhas of the past, Buddhas of the present and Buddhas yet tocome, correspondingly are bowing their heads in deferential obeisance. Are we now transported to the Age of Somnambulism??? To earthlings, the most crucial life sustaining factor is NO AIR, NO LIFE, in so far as planet Earth and basic common sense are concerned.

I must thank my dharma blog team who are great assets to me, Kechara and growth of dharma in this wonderful region. I am honoured and thrilled to work with them. I really am. Maybe I don't say it enough to them, but I am saying it now. I APPRECIATE THESE GUYS VERY MUCH!

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.

Kyabje Chatral Rinpoche: "I am just an ordinary sentient being and there is nothing special about me. I just follow the teachings of Lord Buddha. Without any cheating on my part, I stand firmly on the ground in practicing the Dharma and in helping all sentient beings. I wish that all sentient beings could let go of the acts of self-deception and self-aggrandizement, so that they can really practice the Dharma in order to liberate themselves from cyclic existence and to help other sentient beings. Otherwise, it will be too late when they are feeling remorseful!"

We should have compassion for butchers. When we stop eating meat, we don’t make create the causes for them to slaughter animals contributing to their killing karma. We may say it’s ok to eat meat, but someone has to do the killing and collect the negative karma. Go vegetarian. It’s good for the butchers, the animals and ourselves.~Tsem Rinpoche

Kechara Liaisons are leaders who head and run our 13 depts within Kechara. Liaison Paul heads the arts, statue making, florist and Gompa depts. Yes he has huge portfolios. And he does a good job! Paul took a group of people to Kechara Forest Retreat today with Pastor Yek Yee to introduce to them about our projects. Paul tirelessly/kindly talks to many people this way. It's people like Paul who contributes to Kechara reaching out to many and benefitting them. When we do dharma and not see it as work, it's never a burden. We should see it as a way for ourselves to grow and creating the space for others to grow also. Kind people like Paul inspire me. Thank you Paul. Tsem Rinpoche

Congratulations to Andrew Boon! He has requested and I have agreed for him to be in charge and oversee till completion the large outdoor Medicine Buddha on the hill project in Kechara Forest Retreat. Andrew will also carry on his other portfolios of writing and Ladrang work. I am very proud of him and congratulate him for his commitment, tenacity and sheer good motivation to do this project. When our Kecharians move up, take on more and accept more dharma work, it shows they have grown inside and will help others to grow! I offer my prayers to the Three Jewels for Andrew and all the people who will be benefitted by the presence of this sacred outdoor Buddha for the public! Humbly, Tsem Rinpoche

A change from not noticing anything to springing to action: When I have a migraine as I do now, Seng Piow without me saying anything will jump up and start grabbing the massage sticks to poke/prod/rub the pressure points on my neck to relieve my migraine. That is true kindness/love/appreciation/care manifesting into action. Different from before.- I like when I am/was a cause for someone to become more caring. If indeed I was the cause I may say humbly. Thank you Seng Piow for your care. Thank you everyone who has become more caring. Your lives become richer and you enhance the lives around you. That is dharma. That is fulfilling for me and yourselves. Tsem Rinpoche

    Aki is the old African Grey that was abandoned by his owner. Because he is old, no one wanted him. Well we wanted him and we took him and in and love him. He is in a big aviary and he likes his cage. We leave his cage open at all times so he can go in and out as he likes. His cage is his security blanket. Cute. He gets nice food and sunshine daily and also we play monks chanting for him to be blessed. We love you Aki. Tsem Rinpoche

    This little birdie was at a pet shop. He has maimed leg, permanent damage to his wing and cannot fly and also one eye blind. I don't think anyone would want the poor thing, so I adopted him and keep him safe, fed and with lots of fresh air. He's also in a large aviary so he can be with other birds and not be alone. He is alert, active, and has a good appetite. I like him very much and will make sure he is safe, happy and has a good life. I name him Lucky. Lucky will always be safe now. Tsem Rinpoche

    Dear all, This is Paris interviewing my sister Lidshma. She mentions when I was very young the monks would have me sit with them to do the Buddhist services which was highly irregular in New Jersey. They didn't have lay people even children sit with them to do the services. So she mentions this was very unusual in a good way. My sister Lidshma here mentions my mother (Dana) would always catch me in the night in my room in the dark sitting on my bed meditating and doing mantras. I did that always and had to avoid being caught by my mother. I did it nightly. So I did it secretly and without her catching me. If she did catch me, then there would be big drama and problems depending on the mood my mom was in. My practicing dharma/meditating/praying/mantras was not allowed at all by my parents. They were fiercely against it always. My sister remembers this here. My sister lives in Texas, USA. And our bio group had gone to USA to interview my family for my bio book. This is a snippet.
