   Rinpoche has said this many times in both his private and public teachings – that he longs to be in a mountainous environment, secluded and alone, to do extensive retreat and contemplation on his Yidams.
   In fact, Rinpoche’s previous incarnation built a monastery and taught in Phari in Tibet, where the landscape is very similar. Perhaps this liking for mountains and lakes is linked to the imprints from the past?
   What inspires me is that Rinpoche has fulfilled the advice given by his Guru, the late Kensur Lati Rinpoche, which was to come to Malaysia and teach, and along the way, giving up his own personal wishes to enter into retreat willingly and without complaint. An example to be followed.

   Yeah he has…and it’s also a reason why KWPC is up in the hills. Actually, the land for KWPC is quite similar as well, isn’t it? It’s got mountains and hills and trees, and streams were also discovered on the land. Uncle Ngeow said that the streams made the investigative drilling work difficult, because it made the ground boggy and swampy hehehehe
   The mountainous KWPC land is actually surrounded by forest and more forest. When it was surveyed, it was found that the land itself is actually in the shape of a tooth. What’s interesting about that is the “Tsem” in Rinpoche’s name, whilst referring to the monastery of Rinpoche’s previous incarnation, actually means ‘tooth’ in Tibetan!

   I have been wondering why Rinpoche expressed so many times his attraction to the mountains and all the landscapes typical of higher grounds…
   What is the familiarity that Rinpoche is talking about when refering to the mountains?
   Upon reading through his lineage and his genealogic background, it is clear that mountains, caves and high altitude monasteries is a common feature. We need just check for images of the landscapes of Mongolia and Tibet!
   I must say myself that the idea of living up in the mountain, in a small dwelling place, together with an altar sounds very appealing, very peaceful.

   The image of the scenery is just simply exquisite. I love nature too. Some people might call me a tree hugger but if they really take a great, big and clear look at nature, they will see a beautiful masterpiece of art work! A draw to the beautiful mountains are really deep and they just simply cannot be explained. I never been to any mountain but I loved the pictures of the great majestic mountains. They are immovable giants. That is what everyone wants to be, to be as immovable as a mountain. Seeing the trees, feeling the breeze, etc. will bring me really great comfort. The mountains I really want to see would be in the great mountain range of the world with the tallest mountains, the great Himalayas!

   I have similar attraction to the mountains and trees like Rinpoche compared to the ocean and the deep blue sea. One day while sitting through a conversation with Rinpoche. He ask me. Have you told your children what you would like for your burial when you die? I told Rinpoche I love the mountains and forests. Even when I am alive I love the tranquility of the forest and the quietness of the mountains. So when I die I would like my body to be cremated and the ashes to be strewn over the mountains and forests. He said how are we going to do that? I said hire a helicoptor. Most people will like their ashes to be thrown into the sea. But I want mine to be different.

   When I am in nature,I find my true identity. There is nothing as exquiste to me as the mountains,the wind,the sounds of the birds,and the sounds of a waterfall. When I go to the mountains, I understand what being human is.Nature brings so many questions but it also gives many answers!!
