This is a great achievement especially to get those who are non-IT literate members to get involved in blogging for dharma as well.
Thank you David for printing the copies for them to write in their comments.
Learn Lamrim the modern way by reading Rinpoche’s blog. Leave comments on each article to share your thoughts and spread the glory of sharma via re-blogging, share in Facebook and Twitt !
Make tis your daily sadhana
Initially, some people felt shy about posting comments. After reading the various articles downloaded from Rinpoche’s blog on his childhood and teenage days in USA, the Retreat participants wanted to share their feelings as they were moved by the hardship gone through by Rinpoche and his unshakable determination to walk the spiritual path.
In fact many requested to borrow the print-outs to learn more on Rinpoche’s biography.
It was a good sharing session between the young and older members of KH.
I remember that quote from “the three musqueteers” of Alexander Dumas (sorry for the french reference…):
“One for All and All for One”.
Kecharians are supporting each other, and they are learning to support each other even better.
When someone asks me for hlp, and I give hlp, most probably I am thinking that I am doing them a “favor”, and I am in a mindset that they now “owe” me something back.
In Kechara, we learn to help others, and we learn to improve at our mindset while doing it.
Ideally, I should be thinking that the person asking me for help is doing me a huge favor by presenting me with an opportunity to be of help to others, and so I am in debt towards that person.
Well, that is kinddof theorethical for now, but at least I got it theorically already, that is a good start already I think…
Thank you Rinpoche for presenting me with so many opportunities to help! These are the best gifts I have received from you. Yours sincerely
It was a brilliant idea to photostat the articles for those without laptops or computers to have a chance to read and comments on Rinpoche’s blog. Reading Rinpoche’s blog is a modern way for us to learn the dharma… Like cyber dharma and by posting comments and tweets and share on facebook, we will be able to spread the dharma further.
While Rinpoche’s blog is pure Lamrim in condensed form, some of the less technologically-inclined and the older folks may find it difficult to get on the blog to read and learn. So it is refreshing to see the younger generation of students like David go the extra mile to filter, select and print out the key articles in the blog so that everyone can read and learn together. Its the extra effort like this that makes Kechara so special. Everyone is family, everyone is important and everyone cares. Thank you most of all to Rinpoche, you have always emphasised care for others, and care must definitely start at home. You have taught us well.
How fortunate we are to be able to benefit once again from the many incredibly skillful and different ways Rinpoche creates for us to learn.
The Blog retreat has indeed opened my eyes to many things. One of them being how something simple is really not what it seems and if we look deeper there is always a lesson to be learnt from it. Its how we correctly and carefully perceive things around us that matter!
I have before the retreat enjoyed reading Rinpoche’s blog but rarely comment and if any, it would be something rather short and sweet but often non descript. I know now, how important it is to actually share what we learn from the comments and not just blindly read for sake of reading.
Throughout the Blog retreat, I found that reading the other comments from others were indeed incredibly enlightening as you get an insight into how people (your peers, friends, Dharma family) actually thought and how eloquent some most of them are. It would have taken me years to get to know someone to “find out” about their passions and feelings. How incredible! How insightful! How beautiful!
Thank you again Rinpoche and thank you all for sharing and commenting. Let us all continue to contribute and keep spreading this amazing medium of knowledge!
We are such a fortunate bunch, aren’t we? We get to learn, share, have fun, interact and play, this is living Dharma as it should be – totally intergrated into every aspect of life – from all the subjects and topics in Rinpoche’s Blog to our very hearts and minds.
Rinpoche has been saying for aeons, upgrade ourselves learn newer things. Now I do see where he wanted to bring Kechara to, as a progressive Dharma Center that moves with the times.
As Kechara grow we also grow, you really feel it in this organisation. I mean the Japanese have the Kaizen philosophy, it is probably superseeded now by other types of improvement technology. The gist of it, is continuous improvement, until we reach enlightenment there is always room for improvement!
Its 3 months now when I started to learn to blog and comment. When I did the Retreat I didn’t have a computor and Rinpoche wants me to join the Retreat to accumulate merits and also to learn something beneficial. And Rinpoche arrange for FM to sit in to type on his computor my draft comments then post it. FM was so kind to also print out the articles from Rinpoche’s blog for me to comment in writing. When the Retreat was over Rinpoche was so kind and bought me a laptop to learn. It was hard initially learning how to type with two arthritic fingers. I had to overcome it.
