Today I had to accomplish something that has been pending for a few years as there were many obstacles until now. I am not going to mention what it is here at this time, but it was something very good and very necessary. It will help me and Kechara to reach bigger accomplishments and abilities to be of more benefit to others. I am most happy about that.

I left the house around 3:20PM to my destination. I finished by around 5:30PM…and on the way back I did a prayer in the car to dedicate the work we just did and make a good wish for further success. Seng Piow and Dato’ Ruby were with me. Then around 5 mins after my prayer completed, Seng Piow noticed immediately a clear, bright and strong rainbow in the sky.  There was no rain, everything was dry and the sky was slightly overcast but ok…and we all saw the rainbow very distinctly directly in front of us (picture above). I took that as an very auspicious omen. Very auspicious sign. I realized immediately then and there I knew what I was dedicating will come true. I have no doubts this was a clear indication my prayers will come true. The rainbow was very strong for a short while and we took some pictures. Then it began to fade.

Seng Piow and Dato’ Ruby were very happy to see this clear sign also.

This sign does not indicate I am a great being, great mahasiddha or so advanced in my practice..I am none of those. But my positive work today and the dedication was genuine. If we are genuine, signs can appear to even ordinary beings like me.

I was invigorated for Kechara, our work and my immediate future plans. I know it will be accomplished. Have a good motivation, work hard, be sincere, do things for the benefit of others and never give up….what we as Kechara wish to accomplish WILL BE FULFILLED.

I thank the people like Ms. Sharon Saw, Dato’ Ruby, Ms. Su Ming, Mr. K.H. Ng, Mr Wong and few others who helped me accomplish my work today finally. They were instrumental and very helpful.

I thank the Three Jewels and my guardian for this clear and precise auspicious sign today right after my prayer. I am humbled and excited to do more Dharma work for others. May I serve others continuously.

    Rejoice! So happy to hear that Rinpoche!
    Thank you so much for always thinking for benefiting all of us.
    May your work and Kechara grows bigger and bigger.
    I’ll work harder to serve Rinpoche and your work.

    Rejoice! May Rinpoche lives a long life and in good health, and your work continue to grow and spread in all direction to benefit all sentient beings.

    Rejoice! May Rinpoche lives a long life and that your work continue to grow and your teachings spread everywhere for the benefit all sentient beings.

    The sign is clear that nothing can be wrong if we follow what had be told. Sometimes I don’t that much of knowledge or wisdom to understand something so I just follow. That is not much I can say cannot because its always seem like miracle happened again and again. Just do it, I tell myself.

  6. MayOng on Feb 29, 2012 at 10:14 am

    The rainbows had always appeared whenever something auspicious happened to Kechara or Rinpoche. We rejoice for Kechara and the Kecharians who worked very hard. I got a feeling KWPC is going to come very soon. The rainbows are sure definite signs to indicate bigger are to come

  7. Gimlee on Feb 29, 2012 at 10:19 am

    I rejoice and very happy for this news. The rainbow is obviously a good omen for all Rinpoche’s prayers to come through. Kecharians, let us go all the way with Ripoche! If you still not on board yet, come join us now… this is the golden opportunity to contribute to something BIG… this one I can assure you. Don’t miss the boat my friends :)

  8. DR on Feb 29, 2012 at 10:52 am

    Dear Rinpoche, Yes the sky was clear and there was no indication that it had rained earlier as the roads were dry. There has been so so so many times such auspicious signs appeared when we were doing good work or after a meaningful activity and I was fortunate enough to be present with Rinpoche.

    We have also seen double rainbow appearing above Sunwaymas during our Wesak Fair afew years back! Kechara with Rinpoche’s guidance is definitely going the right direction and heading to something that will benefit so many beings! Exciting days ahead for us and I am extremely fortunate to be a part of it.

  9. Helena on Feb 29, 2012 at 11:56 am

    Incredible sign..!! Rejoice Rejoice!!!! I am sooooooooooo happy!!! May Rinpoche wishes fulfil…!!!
    I just want to say “YEAHHHHHHHHH”….

  10. Sharon Saw on Feb 29, 2012 at 12:06 pm

    Dearest Rinpoche,

    It’s fantastic to know that from today onwards, we are moving to the next level where we can all do more to achieve KWPC! As Dato’ Ruby says, – exciting days are ahead for us… and i too am very fortunate to be here… i can imagine when KWPC is up, we will look back and laugh at all the obstacles we overcame.. and it will be wonderful to know that we were there from nearly the beginning :)

    Thank you for Rinpoche’s kindness to share this journey with us.

    With folded hands and deep appreciation,
    Sharon

  11. abby on Feb 29, 2012 at 12:51 pm

    Rejoice and congratulations!
    a thousand of smiley faces in my heart :) :) :) :)

  12. Lisa on Feb 29, 2012 at 12:58 pm

    It means our guru works will flourish, smoothly and swiftly. We really need to work really really hard to support him as his back bone. Go all the way!!!!

  13. Andrew chiam on Feb 29, 2012 at 2:11 pm

    Rainbows had always been auspicious sign. I am very happy for Rinpoche’s striving hard work for Dharma to flourish and Kecharian’s full swing support for Rinpoche’s effort to manifest. I also hope to be able to be a part and work for the cause of Kechara to grow. I do not have any skills in particular, but still manageable in writing/language department. If the cross region things can work out, then I hope to offer my skills sincerely. Thank you to all the hardworking ppl out there, that makes Dharma possible and accessible to general public without restriction and bias.

  14. sarahyap on Feb 29, 2012 at 2:11 pm

    Every action that Rinpoche does shows the wish to benefit others as much as possible. Thank you Rinpoche, for always caring.

  15. Jace Chong on Feb 29, 2012 at 2:32 pm

    Congratulations Rinpoche!!!
    May all your dreams continue to manifest soon!!
    It’s really our honor having chance to work for Dharma, and understand the significant of benefiting others. We trust Rinpoche all the way that what Rinpoche thinks will always come true as the motivation is to benefit more sentient beings.
    May Rinpoche live long and always turn the Dharma wheel!

  16. skyong on Feb 29, 2012 at 2:57 pm

    Dear Rinpoche, I am simply happy and rejoice for what you’ve done for all of us. :) :) :)

  17. Uncle Eddie on Feb 29, 2012 at 3:13 pm

    It is said that the legends of many cultures see rainbow as a kind of a bridge between heaven and earth. One of the most beautiful sights in nature, the rainbow has been a favourite component as a symbol of renewed hope and something lucky to look upon! Like it or not, many of us believe in signs of good omen and fortune. The greatest leaders of the World believe in it, philosophers think seriously about it, while many celebrities,actors and actresses are hopelessly obsessive about it. The sudden distinct appearance of a clear, bright and strong rainbow in the sky immediately after Rinpoche’s prayers and dedication, indeed has great significance and a representation of a very “auspicious sign”; especially after all the good hard work done by Kechara’s team of hardworking, devoted and dedicated people, to benefit so many others and never give up… until KECHARA’S WISH is fulfilled!” Rejoice.

  18. Marten on Feb 29, 2012 at 3:18 pm

    My dear Tesem Tulku Rinpoche,
    i have to smile beacuase of rainbow and of course i remember the song: somewhere over the rainbow :)
    Next step will be rainbowbody, ok :)
    It is very very funny, because the feeling of: “all will be getting good” or “anything IS good” is the same feeling i felt after you gave me sitatapatra mantra and picture.
    Suddenly i have to remember the little green man with goldbucket at the end of rainbow :) )
    I saw your paranormal blog and i makes me a little bit afraid. the sound is ugly ;o) i get scared of it.^^
    DAvid looks like a good practicer. You are a lucky rinpoche to have such students like the people in kechara house.i often wish to be with you and your people. but in mind i always be connected with you and all the others called sangha :)
    When i look at DAvid Video and his night expieriences i have to smile. because sometimes i thought i am cracy with my expierience. (sorry for bad english….i want a translater :)
    The only thing which is a little bit different is the thing, that i felt not so many entity after the buzzing sound. but the thing which makes me scary is, that i wake up in dream and see that there is a nother dimension i don´t know.
    at first time i wake up in dream but i don´t realize. everything was same. but then i remember i switched off the light and now it was switched on. and i don´t understand the voices in tv. then i remember, i switched off tv before get sleepin. at that moment i realized that i was dreaming, but very clear and suddenly i get scary like nervous brak down. i have to laugh when david said he wwas afraid to get sleeping because of this. i say to you: it was my feeling too :) )
    but now, with sitatapatra i think it will be better. i hope so :) if not i call you to help ;O)
    Oh rinpoche. Everything is fine. You are a great master.look at the fruits of your doing. (fruits..not instant soup ^^)
    At the moment you said to me i should put away all bowles and so on which are empty i did it. but i don´t know why. but i did it. don´t scary me tsem. i have only little nervs ;)

    In love and light…

  19. Adeline on Feb 29, 2012 at 3:20 pm

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this good news with us, it is an auspicious and clear signs that all Rinpoche’s visions and projects will manifest soon to benefit all sentient beings in the universe.

  20. Rughal on Feb 29, 2012 at 3:23 pm

    So let me get this straight. If I ask a yes/no question, and see a rainbow, that means yes? Are rainbows magic? I mean, what are the odds of a rainbow appearing in a country with high humidity?

    : )

    • Marten on Feb 29, 2012 at 4:13 pm

      Dear Rughal,
      the main thing in life is the VIEW. You only see in outter world what you are having in inner ;)
      And if you say: it was humidity…then it was humidity ^^
      But if you can say it was a sign…then it will be a sign for you and all who believe in…Nothing is like it is looking…but it is also not different…
      Greets from work in germany….HERE is humidity but no rainbow ;)

  21. Grace L on Feb 29, 2012 at 4:22 pm

    Dearest Rinpoche .
    CONGRATULATIONS !!! May all your dharma wishes be fulfilled !!

  22. Lim Han Nee on Feb 29, 2012 at 4:47 pm

    I’m very happy for Rinpoche and for Kechara. The auspicious sign signifies success upon success, waves of success for Rinpoche’s great Dharma works and Kecharians’ Dharma endevours under Rinpoche’s blessed guidance! Indeed, we all need to work in concert as KWPC will manifest soon! Thank you, Rinpoche,for sharing this great history-making moment with us.

  23. Bibi on Feb 29, 2012 at 5:53 pm

    Yesterday when i noticed this great news from alien i couldn’t control my tears of joy, i already see KWPC up on hill !

  24. Datuk May on Feb 29, 2012 at 6:16 pm

    After Rinpoche completed an important and outstanding work and then said a prayer, and a rainbow appeared is sure thing that sometime powerful is going to happen. The prayer will be answered.

    Yes KWPC is of paramount importance to Rinpoche and Kechara, but I wish to believe that the prayer Rinpoche made is more than that, it is a prayer to benefit sentient beings all over the world so that they may have happiness and merits to always live in the Dharma.

    With Rinpoche’s dedication to Pure Dharma and to the many methods Rinpoche has taught the essence of Dharma to us, it is the Buddhas’ blessings to Rinpoche’s work with the rainbow.

    May Rinpoche’s teachings grow without boundaries to zillions of sentient beings throughout the world.

    Thank you, Rinpoche.

  25. PhillisChin on Feb 29, 2012 at 6:43 pm

    Rejoice!! Rejoice!! Rejoice!!! ^^, ^^, ^^,
    Wish Rinpoche long live with healthy and thank you, for everything!! ^^, YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!! ^^,

  26. Adeline Woon on Feb 29, 2012 at 7:23 pm

    Congratulation and may Kechara continue to grow and that Rinpoche remain with good health!

  27. Hui Keng on Feb 29, 2012 at 7:38 pm

    Congratulations Rinpoche! I rejoice and wish you every success in all your undertakings and holy wishes. May you live a thousand years to bring happiness to all beings.

  28. Cynthia L on Feb 29, 2012 at 8:19 pm

    Congratulations Rinpoche. I am really happy this project has finally gone through after many efforts. This really means a lot to Kechara’s growth and opens doors to many possibilities. I’m very excited.

  29. su an on Feb 29, 2012 at 8:26 pm

    Truly great news! Congratulations Kechara, another step closer to KWPC dream =) This song will be playing in my head now after reading this post! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FBKa-bCasY

  30. William on Feb 29, 2012 at 8:35 pm

    Congratulations Rinpoche for the achievement. Finally, we get to rejoice! There’s so much to look forward to with Kechara growing bigger and better. May all of Rinpoche’s wishes come true.

  31. So Kin Hoe on Feb 29, 2012 at 9:58 pm

    Congratulations and thank you Rinpoche! It is a very happy news to all of us in this country and other parts of world.

  32. Yee Mun on Feb 29, 2012 at 10:56 pm

    What Rinpoche has accomplished today must be something big and very beneficial to all beings. If not Rinpoche will not be so excited and happy about it. Rejoice on your accomplishment. May Rinpoche’s dharma work flourish and benefit all beings.

  33. Sock Wan on Mar 1, 2012 at 12:15 am

    YEAH!!!! Something good and big is going to happen very soon, it must be that.:)

  34. Wee Liang on Mar 1, 2012 at 3:34 am

    I rejoice and hope Rinpoche will see more auspicious signs in the quest to grow Kechara House and KWPC. :D

  35. pengki on Mar 2, 2012 at 11:52 am

    This is my favourite posting of all the postings in this blog ! ;)

  36. patsy on Mar 2, 2012 at 11:40 pm

    I rejoice and am happy to hear this good news! Congratulations Rinpoche! This is not the first time rainbows appeared, it appeared many times before when something auspicious happened to Rinpoche or after meaningful events. Like the double rainbow appeared during Wesak Day celebration.

    This auspicious rainbow is a clear sign that Rinpoche’s vision and projects will manifest soon.

  37. Frederick Law on Mar 3, 2012 at 11:44 am

    It is indeed a wonderful sign, and rejoice for Rinpoche, what ever plan that Rinpoche had in mind and that is being work for the benefit of all sentient being will be materialized and fulfill soon.
    Truly an auspicious sign that Kechara.

  38. Melinda yap on Mar 4, 2012 at 10:14 am

    Dear Rinpoche,
    In my view, rainbow is such a beautiful sight to see because it never fails to brightens up my day and put a smile on my face. I do believe having sight of a rainbow is a sign of auspicious omen. Ever since I’m a Kechara member, I’ve been participating in events as a volunteer.i first volunteered in during Wesak Day event in 2011 and that was my first sight of not one but two rainbows side by side together during the event. Well, I think it’s double auspicious & certainly a good sign of the good and positive work done by Rinpoche and Kechara.The other time I saw a rainbow is when the new Kechara Gompa launched… That was 2011 also. Well, this assures me that sighting a rainbow is indeed auspicious….I pray may all Rinpoche’s wishes come true and may KWPC be realized as soon as possible…

  39. tenzin llhamo on Mar 4, 2012 at 12:39 pm

    Congratulations Rinpoche! May we continue to help Rinpoche to benefit many throughout the world! Rejoice!

  40. Seng Aun on Mar 9, 2012 at 5:40 pm

    Dear Rinpoche,
    I always believe that when there’s a rainbow, something great is bound to follow. Congratulations!

  41. Wan Wai Meng on Apr 7, 2012 at 8:09 pm

    In the early days of Kechara this was after Kechara House wasup and we had events and such at the center and something I noticed was that every time there was an event or talk that rinpoche presided in rinpoche would get certain good news or get something that grew kechara and etc and it happened so many many times it certainly was not a coincidence, it was normal for rinpoche to always get good signs for the work he engaged in.

    Willow Creek is the exact type of town I would love to live in…trees, mountains, rivers.l would set up a house there, big altar, butterlamp house and make lots of offerings and do retreats there and lots of dharma readings. Having bigfoot nearby is just an extra treat. But I wouldn’t move therer for bigfoot-I like the environment..In Tibet Domo Geshe Rinpoche use to meditate in secluded caves and when he gained attainments, Yetis which is Himalayan bigfoots visited him giving him special milk where he made healing pills that were so powerful even the 13th Dalai Lama and Panchen Lamas wanted those pills. Domo Geshe was famous to have association with yetis and they never harmed him, but would drop milk off at his cave and go…I would love to live at Willow Creek so much. I love places like this. If I didn’t have Kechara, I would move there immediately and live there. But I will visit for sure. Will take a group with me. I want to go very much!!

    Tsem Rinpoche conducted two funerals within 24 hours on Saturday, one for a Dharma friend and another one for a 3-month fetus due to miscarriage. Due to days of not enough rest, Rinpoche developed a stye (eyelid bump) due to heatiness, but Rinpoche is more than willing suffer for the sake of others in need, read on http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/?p=956

    Willow Creek is a town in Northern California. This town has the most reported cases of bigfoot sightings. From Willow Creek you go to Bluff Creek where the most famous Patterson-Gimlin film of a genuine bigfoot was walking back in the 60′s was filmed…it is the most famous footage that no one can debunk till today….Willow Creek is so green, full of mountains and beautiful rivers. I will definitely take a group with me and visit one day..I love forests and Northern California..so beautiful.. I don’t want to look for bigfoot, but the whole town is a total mecca for bigfoot enthusiasts with shops and small museums. I would like to go to just enjoy the scenery, the mountains and forests. And see the bigfoot scene.. I would love to live there for sure. Who wants to go with me?? Tsem Rinpoche See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0dVzIr6bgw&feature=related Patterson-gimlin film…so far no scientist can say it is fake.

Imagine if I was real lucky and got to live solitary in a place like this??? Imagine if my cabin was near the shore of this lake without many people around? Imagine I have my dharma books and beautiful Buddha shrine and can live here away from the delusions, false dreams, fake promises and false hopes of this world that I never believed from day one anyways??? If I should be so lucky to be in such a living environment in this all future lives... Tsem Rinpoche

Dear friends, This is a well made Paranormal real life story. Nothing scary in this episode, but very powerful show of love and willpower. I want you to please watch this carefully and see how a mother reaches out to save her child. Her will was so strong she left her body. The child saw a light leaving the mother and going to the road although she died and 'found' people to save her child. Very touching and beautiful story. This is what I believe happened, what do you think? http://blog.tsemtulku.com/?p=31937

I knew of a lady who when she went to bed at night, she would feel unseen hands touch her body and disturb her sleep. This happened many times. She sought help from many places without relief. When she saw me, I gave her Singdongma. She invited a statue home, set up a shrine for Her and did Singdongma's mantra/prayer daily. The unseen hands stopped disturbing her & this was ten years ago. She does her prayer daily to Singongma till now: http://blog.tsemtulku.com/?p=31904

Dear all, every week I am informed of a death and to offer prayers. This week I was informed of four deaths. With death, everything is almost final and if we didn't do dharma genuinely, we would have regrets. Death is such a omnipresent and frightening stalker. Realize it will come for you one day soon and go all the way with dharma, dharma practice, dharma work and gain realizations. At death, the dharma you have is the only hope. Anything else acquired in life is a total waste of time. Please realize and wake up. Don't procrastinate and keep yourself 'busy' with activities that are empty at the time of death. Our minds will continue at death and what supports that journey is our good merits and attainments collected during our lives. Tsem Rinpoche

Dear Rinpoche, Bryan and I do so much less than what Rinpoche does. When people are asleep Rinpoche's working, when people are awake Rinpoche's working. Not many people in Kechara realize that Rinpoche works the hardest in the entire organization. I didn't know before joining Ladrang. Although Rinpoche may want to go around to pray for people in need, one day I want to able to do this instead of Rinpoche. It is quite taxing and Rinpoche can't be going out of Haven 24 hours to pray for the dying/dead. I'm happy Pastor Yek Yee and Pastor Susan wanted to come today, they really are awesome Pastors. Thank you, Jean Mei

Dear TR,  We have just collected Tashi's ashes. Our Nirvana agent who named May is a very nice lady, she is in her 40+, she is a Buddhist and a Mandarin speaker. She follow us thru out the whole session. May also bought us drinks and settle everything for us.  I have share with her about KH, TR and some other departments we have in Kechara. She is interested in KH. I will arrange with her to come and visit KH and various departments soon. The couple is sending us back home and we will go and get a stupa for Tashi's ashes. Have asked them to go back and rest after this. From Bryan

Dear Rinpoche, The casket has been filled with baby Tashi and baby items that Rinpoche bought for him. We did prayers before he left to be cremated. Thank you, Jean Mei (This morning at the funeral for baby Tashi, we bought baby items to be placed into his casket and cremated together. We wanted Tashi to have the baby items with him to let him know we care. His body is strewn with blessed rose petals. Tsem Rinpoche)

Dear all,  It's 9:30 AM. I just walked into the house after being in the hospital and then going to finish a funeral for a baby of a student. I have just conducted two funerals in the last 24 hours. The second funeral was for a baby. I had Jean Mei, Bryan, Seng Piow, Pastor Susan, Pastor Yekyee, Lew with me. Pastor Susan and Yekyee really wanted to come and learn. I am glad they made the effort.  We conducted a simple funeral by reciting holy verses, sprinkling holy water onto the baby, protector rice and scattered blessed fresh rose petals all over the baby. Afterwards I had a nice conversation about the baby's mind taking rebirth. Upon leaving the father and father's mother gave me a very warm hug of thanks and support during this most saddest of times for them...and the wife was happy and looked visibly relieved. She let go alot and let go of her guilt after we talked.. I have sent Bryan and Jean Mei with the family to cremate the baby this morning at 11AM It will take two hours and then we can bring the ashes home. Part of the ashes will be in a large stupa. All of us are extremely exhausted but did very good work. That is what Kechara is about. I am very happy we can help the baby and family along their way. When they called, they sounded extremely desperate as it was very late with no one to help them. We were very honoured to help them. I didn't call Pastor Yekyee and Pastor Susan heard, they immediately wanted to join me. Now with no sleep after baby Tashi's funeral, they went to Kechara to give dharma classes. I am proud of them and my assistants who wanted to help all last night until this morning. It is wonderful to give it all we can for others. That is what Kechara is about. Tsem Rinpoche

Dear TR, 

I have received some update from Gaden regarding Justin Ripley's ashes. 

Monastery have done a whole day of Vajrayogini Daju and Ruchok this Sunday, this is for Rinpoche's previous life and current life students who passed away recently: Geshe Ngawang and Justin Ripley.  

Monastery is now in the middle making Tsa Tsa out from Geshe Ngawang's ashes. After they finish, monastery start to make Tsa Tsa out from Justin's ashes. 

Monastery will use Justin's ashes and make a few different type of Tsa Tsa:

1) Chenrezig, Manjushri and Vajrapani Tsa Tsa

2) White Tara, Amitayus and Nagyalma Tsa Tsa

3) small stupa Tsa Tsa

I have asked monastery to mail us few Tsa Tsa after finish, this will be place inside KFR big VY stupa. 

Thanks 
Bryan (Justin Ripley's ashes has been made into holy Buddha tsatsas {as in picture} to gain more merits for him). We love Justin.

When we trust, practice and go all the way with the tantric path of Vajra Yogini, we have nothing to worry about. All the worries both worldly and spiritual will be solved. We should surrender to Vajra Yogini's blessing by being our best. We just set up this wonderful statue of Buddha Vajra Yogini in our library area. How beautiful She is. Buddha Vajra Yogini is special deity for those overwhelmed by laziness, miserliness and want easy practice but big results. May all of you be blessed to see Her holy image. Kechara Discovery Dept of our orgazination does such wonderful images available for the public. I am very happy as She is beautiful. Thank You Kechara Discovery! Tsem Rinpoche

When I first arrived in Malaysia in 1992 I had a group of people who would sponsor my tickets, stay and for many years sponsor much needed help in Gaden. One of them was Ms Mooi Lan who lives in Cheras. She has been a great supporter for the last 20 years and in the past sponsor. I recieved very sad news she passed away this morning at 4Am. I request all my students to please light a candle for her to take good rebirth and come across the dharma again. Offer the candle to Buddha Dukkar..that is the Buddha I assigned to her many years ago and she diligently practiced and set up a shrine to Dukkar.. I will miss her and never forget her kindness. Many of the things I wanted to do in the past she generously helped. Tsem Rinpoche ( see here http://blog.tsemtulku.com/?p=4354 )

Heruka! We say we want to improve yet we don't hold our vows. We promise to keep our samaya, yet our promise to our earlier promises laxed. We want to experience only good results yet we hold onto our face. We want wealth, yet we give nothing. We want success, yet we offer tiny offerings to the Three Jewels. We say we have great faith in our Guru, yet when his assignments are difficult we run. We say we want a good rebirth yet all our actions are motivated by self gain. Heruka, Heruka, Heruka, how are we to recieve your blessings when our three doors are closed tightly by selfishness, ignorance and anger?~Tsem Rinpoche

I haven't lived in Gaden since 1992 when I was sent to Malaysia. I love Gaden and loved so much living there. I like so many things about Gaden. Conversations would not be lonely and easy. Whatever I talk about the monks immediately understand. I do not have to face 'opposition' , doubts, hundreds of questions, and every detail simple about the dharma or dharma work has to be explained. I miss that so much. I am not lonely for company, but I am lonely for familiarity very much. I was very content, at peace and in my element in Gaden. I never knew or imagined I would have to go to Malaysia, stay and take on heavy responsibilities. I am not complaining but I love Gaden, the monks, my teachers, the great masters, the senior monks whom I have many friends. I miss them so much. So so much. I love and respect the great old monks, Rinpoches and spectacular Geshes. Gaden was a city of practitioners and I was home. Lord Tsongkapa's presence pervades the whole Gaden. TR

She really took the time and effort to write it...I was happy to see she wrote exaclty as I expressed. Effort pays off usually or eventually. I am happy to see there are 669 views (43 comments) already going back to Paris' blog to read the teachings. The teachings will be benfit many. Must save and read again and again.

Bryan gave me an incredible MOTHER'S DAY GIFT. It is so auspicious. He had someone draw HH Kyabje Zong Rinpoche's sacred face onto the body of Buddha Vajradharma. Buddha Vajradharma is the form Buddha takes to teach the immaculate and fautless tantra of Vajra Yogini. In Vajra Yogini's tantra and meditations, you must visualize your guru in the form of Vajradharma to make offerings both inner, outer & secret offerings daily to one's tantric guru & to meditate on Him in that form. It is very integral part of the practice. If you do the meditations well on your guru in this particular form during the practice of the sadhana..you can gain tremendous realizations and control over one's mind to leave the body when you want. So getting this picture today was an omen if Kecharians fulfill their responsibilities, then Vajra Yogini's practice will spread in this region. Very good omen. I feel this strongly. Bryan really planned out this gift & surprised me!! I will put in Chamang Ladrang in the future. THANK YOU BRYAN!!TR

Back in New Jersey over 30 years ago, there lived a lady down the street who was also a student of my teacher. Her name is Carmen (she is a nun now and her ordination name is: Ani Thupten). She had a nice size library of books and many dharma books. I loved the Dharma books!! I would spend so much time browsing and getting snippets of each book from Carmen. I use to ride by bike down to chat with her and borrow her books and it took me like 5 mins by bike..She lived on the same street. I would read dharma books voraciously and write down my questions. I would call Carmen almost daily for years to ask her to clarify the readings I had questions on. She would spend hours on a phone with me answering questions never once losing patience. I learned so much from her. She had vast dharma knowledge, very devoted to our teacher and would do her meditations and extensive sadhanas daily. She would join in all the dharma classes and pujas at our nearby Kalmuck Buddhist Temple. She was such a good dharma friend and I enjoyed her company very much. I wanted to be like her to have the freedom to study and practice dharma. When I recievd my first initiation by our teacher at the temple, Carmen sat right next to me on the front row. Thrilling!! After initiation we would have ten days of explanations (commentary) from our teacher His Eminence Kensur Losang Tharchin Rinpoche. I was so excited and deeply happy to get commentary from our great and knowledgable teacher. What I did not understand, I would of course consult Carmen who is much more advanced and taught me patiently after each day’s teachings. Around 15 years ago Carmen came to India and I travelled with her to holy Bodhgaya, Varanasi and Dharamsala. I escorted her to these places. Since then I have not met up with her. But I know she is fine. Around two years back I sent her a three foot Vajra Yogini statue as a gift from me. Carmen received the statue and was very happy. It was my offering to her for so much kindness shown me when I was a child. I wish so much she can visit Malaysia. She would be happy.

We all want to be a part of something big and with good results. But the only way we can be a part of that is if we work hard together with the other members of our Kechara. The time will pass. It can pass with you taking on difficulties or it can pass with you doing nothing. I feel it's better to work hard now and enjoy later than to enjoy nothing now and then end up nowhere later. Prayers and dedications are ok, but hard work must be part of the prayer. Tsem Rinpoche

His Holiness the Dalai Lama seated here with His sacred mother. A mother who gives birth to great beings like Shakyamuni, Tsongkapa, Dalai Lama, Panchen Lama, Trijang Rinpoche, etc must be a Buddha Herself, a highly realized Dakini, a powerful practitioner, or a lady who made prayers in previous lives to provide others with great dharma in one way or another. A lady of great spiritual merit or virtue.. I wanted to share this photo with you because if I ever met His Holiness' mother, I would prostrate to Her immediately. Beautiful picture. His Holiness is not ordinary for sure and neither could a being who gave birth to Him. Tibetans always said she was very saintly, gentle, simple and deeply spiritual. During Her lifetime many went to recieve Her blessings..Tsem Rinpoche

It's very revealing how when you give, offer and have something for them, they crowd around smiling, happy and easy. The minute you ask them to give something, contribute or really help out, they totally disappear. Handphones shut. No replies. No sound. As if you they never knew you. People like that make themselves 2nd rate, find 1st rate people to work with and move on. Recently I encountered some students like that!~ Tsem Rinpoche

Last night between 300-400 persons congregated at Kechara while I gave a talk to them on 'making a choice' and 'the power and purpose of stupas'. The talk has been taped and will be blogged once tape is ready. The talk was two hours and it flowed well for me although I had very little sleep. Towards the end of the talk I gave refuge vows to 100 new persons from different countries for this. When everything was done, I met up with a group of 15 and 5 from Shanghai. Had a nice dharma talk with them on how to make a centre grow and harmony. Passed out nice dharma gifts to all the visitors so they don't go home empty handed. Also seperately met some directors and movie producers that attended the talk and sought private time with me..these producers and directors are very well known locally. One is from Hong Hong. Got home around 5Am and saw so many gifts from people. Did a Manjushri dedication for all the people who offered gifts to me on Wesak day in gratitude. Also some people from Europe called in to Kechara to arrange flowers to be given to me last night. That was very sweet. I have so many flowers now..over 70 bouquets I would...guess. They have all been offered up on the shrine. Thank you. TR (May 5, 2012)

Karma exists and created constantly by our actions. Karma created in the past is fertile and will open up when the situation arises. We should never relax and think everything will be alright when there is so much volatile latent karma like a huge volcano temporarily dormant. We can do something about it though.

I have basically four special wishes in life. I have had these wishes for many years. I have worked toward these wishes, but so far, none of those four wishes have been fulfilled yet. I hope one day my wishes will come true very much. I am still waiting..waiting...Tsem Rinpoche

Some people have asked me some very important questions on tantra and Vajra Yogini in facebook. I answer them. Answers you really need to know before doing higher and advanced practices..better to be prepared ahead of time. Good to know how to prepare: http://blog.tsemtulku.com/?p=30233

This is the holy tsatsa of Namgyalma Buddha made by Lord Atisha as part of His daily practice. He engaged in making Buddha images by way of Tsatsas everyday to purify karma. TR

To even see this is a great blessing: This is the personal stupa Atisha carried around with Him wherever he went. He made offerings to this stupa and the holy contents daily. TR

Rinpoche, The movie group just before going to get the pants scared off them!  I have explained that it is Rinpoche's way of saying thank you to them for always working so hard for Ladrang. They were very happy to go in, even big chicken Carmen Koo! I've bought an extra popcorn set for Levi, and will drop it off in haven for her. Thank you, Jean Ai (seeing the move "The Cabin in the Woods")

If we always do not understand Dharma, then that is a sign of not studying. If we always blame Dharma, it is a sign we do not know what dharma really is. If we always expect of the Dharma, then we are using Dharma in ineffective methods. If we find Dharma difficult, then it is because we are unwilling to accept it. If we give up the Dharma, we are get deeper into our sufferings without respite. If we complain about Dharma it is a sign we are looking for blame in the wrong places and not within ourselves.~Tsem Rinpoche

Dear TR,
SO FANTASTIC! Me staring at rainbow. Love dm 
****(April 22, 2012-Sunday-Kechara is very lucky. Many times when we are about to embark on something really beneficial or just finished something very good, we will often times witness a rainbow and there is no rain or clouds.Today again at KECHARA FOREST RETREAT after they finished their work in the evening another clear rainbow appeared in the clear sky reported to me by Datuk May and ten other Kecharians volunteering there today. See the beautiful picture of the rainbow...TR)

I prostrate to my Guru the consummate Lojong master who teaches us how to laugh at death by creating right causes n how to regret n cry at death by doing stupid things. Exciting indeed that we can do either.
I rather die w natural smile than a fake one made up by the embalmers. 
Thank you for reminding we hv choice.
Gratefully yours 
Pastor Ngeow

Death is exciting. It's when all the thìngs we did COME BACK TO US. And we can't sweet talk or seduce our way out. We have to face what we have done. Very exciting to see what's going to happen to us! Hello death, give me what I deserve!! Tsem Rinpoche
