Fish Liberation in Kepong Metropolitan Park
Thirty people liberated 100kg of catfish at Kepong Metropolitan Park this morning today Sunday October 3, 2010.
I started this program last year. We found a large park with a huge big lake…so every month, once a month we release fish. We purchase the fish from slaughter markets where they would have been killed today.
This is also a family day where kids are invited to help release fish to create awareness and empathy in their young minds starting at a young age. It is a wonderful activity and people really need to this. It helps them to purify diseases and increase their life span also. Often we are asked by our teachers to release life. I often buy cows/bulls to be slaughtered and donate it to the Monasteries also.
I would like this activity to grow as it is beneficial. Bring the kids, as it is a wonderful way to spend quality time always. They will remember this when they become adults. Leave something in their minds to care for others/animals.
Much care, Tsem Tulku

Liberation of animals has always been Tsem Rinpoche’s Heart-felt wish to give all animals a safe and caring place, at the same time to save their lives and lessen their pains and sufferings. Such established practices had already been put in place, by rescuing cats,dogs, birds, tortoises and fish under Rinpoche’s guidance and put in places where they can be properly cared for, fed and lovingly look after. Monthly animals liberation programes have also been drawn up and organised under Kechara care whereby Hundreds of kilogrames of fishes are rescued straight from wet markets before they can be ended up on someone’s dinner plate and released into huge lakes around the scenic centres of the city of Kuala Lumpur, as shown in this Blog. Rinpoche’s compassionate intention in promoting these monthly animal liberation sessions is to create awareness and empathy for both the young and the old, and to create the causes for our own Kechara Animal Sanctuary to materialise soonest possible! Such practices are also good for the kids, for this will leave imprints in their minds to remember when they grow up to care for the less fortunates/animals!
