Here’s a picture of smiling little Gabriel taken this afternoon. Gabriel’s mom Ellena shared that when she massaged Gabriel sometime this week and for the first time in 1 year, Gabriel was able to make a sound!

 

Pastor Susan Lim went to visit Gabriel today. She gave blessings, prayer, words of comfort as well as shared with him about the upcoming Lama Tsongkhapa Day, and also the updates on Kechara Forest Retreat.
Gabriel smiled when Pastor Susan asked him to visit Kechara Forest Retreat and play with the dogs when he gets well!

Little Gabriel opened his eyes!

There is a very sick little boy in coma. He is 8 years old and in the hospital. According to divination done, he requires a Amitayus Buddha initiation. So yesterday our Tsem Ladrang staff went to hospital to set up as tormas need to be made and lots of preparations required was done.  When all was ready I went to the hospital to confer initiation of Amitayus for this little boy. To speak to the mother and offer some gentle advice.. The hospital provided a special room for us and we performed the initiation right next to Gabriel. It was an urgent situation and everything went well. May Little Gabriel get well soon.

I had also invited some senior Kechara students and Pastors to receive the initiation in the hospital room together with Gabriel. I couldn’t invite many over because the room is small.  The Pastors later will be able to pass this practice to others in the future. Also this will bless the senior elderly students to increase their life force to practice more Dharma.

Su Ming, Ethan, Bryan, Phil, Carmen, Gim Lee, Paris, Shabten house group and Kechara Care people  worked very hard to talk to the hospital staff, prepare the special room, transfer the ritual items, make tormas, set up offerings, prepare the students. Our Kechara people are very caring to do so much for Gabriel and family as they were all very concerned… and they were happy to do all the work… I am so glad Kechara can offer support, care and love to little Gabriel and family. I was very happy to offer the Amitayus blessing to the little boy and members of Kechara. It will benefit everyone on many levels.

I would like everyone out there to please MAKE STRONG PRAYERS, RECITE MANTRAS, OFFER LIGHTS, OFFER PUJAS for little Gabriel. He needs all of our good energy, prayers and blessings now. Please put him in your prayers. Please do not forget him…

Tsem Rinpoche

P.S. Please leave a message for Gabriel and his family below in the comments section. Show them your concern please. Forward this post to others..share with others. Create the awareness that many will know about Gabriel and send much needed prayers to him please. Let’s get thousands of people to know about Gabriel and send thousands upon thousands of prayers to him please.

请为Gabriel祈愿
 

一名病重的小男孩正处于昏迷状态。他今年只有8岁,却只能躺在医院里。根据占卜结果,他需要接受无量寿佛灌顶。这项仪式需要朵玛和大量的准备工作,所以,昨天詹拉章的职工就到医院安排好一切事项。当一切准备就绪之后,我就到医院为这名小男孩进行灌顶仪式,同时也跟他的母亲交谈并给予一些忠告。医院给我们安排了一个特别的房间,好让我们可以在Gabriel身边举行灌顶仪式。这是一个紧急状况,但一切都进行得相当顺利。希望小Gabriel能早日康复。

我也邀请了一些较年长资深的克切拉学生和讲法师跟Gabriel一起接受这项灌顶仪式。由于病房不大,我无法邀请更多人前来。不过,我们的讲法师未来将能够把这项修持传授给其他人。这次的灌顶仪式,将能加持那些年长和资深的学生,好让他们能拥有更强的生命力去修习更多的佛法。
 

蔡诗明、周世豪、何耀文、杨其聪、古嘉文、陈锦丽、邱佩芬、克切拉祈愿堂和克切拉亲善部的朋友们很用心地向医院职工讲解,为这个特别病房做好准备。他们也安排制作朵玛,设立供品,将各种法器送到医院,并安顿好那些出席仪式的学生。克切拉人能以一份关怀的心来为Gabriel和他的家人付出,因为他们都很关注这件事。他们都十分乐意那么做。对于克切拉能给予小Gabriel及其家人支持、关怀和爱,我感到十分欣慰。我也很高兴能授予这名小男孩及一些克切拉会员无量寿佛的加持。
 

我希望每个人都能以强烈的愿力为小Gabriel祈愿、持诵心咒,也为他供灯和举行法会。他现很需要我们的正能量、祈愿和加持。请把他加入你的祈愿中。请别忘了他……

 

詹仁波切

  

注:请在以下的评论栏里留言,给Gabriel和他的家人鼓励。请表现出你们的关注。将这篇文章转发给其他人,跟别人分享。请引起多方的关注,让更多人知道Gabriel的情况,好让大家能将祈愿回向给他。让千千万万人知道Gabriel的情况,好让他能接受千千万万个回向。

Marilah berdoa untuk Gabriel

Ada seorang kanak-kanak yang sedang berada di dalam koma. Dia baru berusia 8 tahun dan sedang dirawat di hospital. Berdasarkan tilikan yang telah dibuat, dia memerlukan inisiasi Amitayus Buddha. Oleh sebab itu, kakitangan kami di Tsem Ladrang telah pergi ke hospitalnya semalam untuk membuat “torma” dan melaksanakan semua keperluan untuk upacara inisiasi tersebut. Apabila semua keperluan telah disediakan, saya pun pergi ke hospital untuk upacara inisiasi Amitayus untuk Gabriel. Saya juga mengambil kesempatan ini untuk berjumpa dengan ibunya dan memberi sedikit nasihat. Pihak hospital telah menyediakan sebuah bilik khas untuk kami dan kami telah menjalankan upacara inisiasi itu di tepi katil Gabriel. Ketika itu, keadaan di dalam bilik terasa genting tetapi semuanya berjalan lancar. Semoga Gabriel sembuh dengan secepat mungkin.

Saya juga telah menjemput pelajar-pelajar senior dan paderi-paderi Kechara untuk menerima inisiasi itu di dalam bilik hospital bersama dengan Gabriel. Saya tidak dapat menjemput ramai orang kerana bilik itu kecil. Namun demikian, paderi-paderi Kechara boleh memberi praktis ini kepada semua pada masa depan. Upacara ini juga telah memberkati pelajar-pelajar senior yang tua untuk melanjutkan usia mereka agar mereka dapat meneruskan aktiviti Dharma mereka.

Su Ming, Ethan, Bryan, Phil, Carmen, Gim Lee, Paris, kumpulan Shabten House dan kakitangan Kechara Care telah bekerja keras untuk berbincang dengan pihak hospital, menyediakan bilik khas, memunggah barang-barang yang diperlukan dalam upacara itu, membuat “torma”, menyediakan barang-barang pemujaan, menghubungi pelajar-pelajar senior Kechara. Orang-orang di Kechara sangat berprihatin untuk melakukan semua ini untuk Gabriel dan keluarganya kerana mereka amat mengambil berat tentangnya… dan mereka amat berpuas hati kerana dapat melakukan kerja-kerja ini… Saya sungguh gembira Kechara dapat menghulurkan sokongan dan kasih sayang kepada Gabriel dan keluarganya. Saya sungguh gembira dapat menawarkan rahmat Amitayus kepada Gabriel dan ahli-ahli Kechara. Ia dapat memanfaatkan semua orang dalam pelbagai cara.

Saya memohon agar semua berdoa, membaca mentera, membuat persembahan lampu pelita dan lilin, membuat puja untuk Gabriel. Dia amat memerlukan tenaga positif, doa dan rahmat kita sekarang. Sertakanlah Gabriel dalam doa harian anda. Janganlah lupakannya…

Tsem Rinpoche

P.S. Sila tinggalkan pesanan untuk Gabriel dan keluarganya di bahagian komen di bawah. Tunjukkan kepada mereka keprihatinan anda. Hantarkanlah artikel ini kepada semua rakan-rakan anda…hantarkannya dengan semua kenalan anda. Tolong wujudkan kesedaran supaya semua dapat mengenali Gabriel dan menghantar kata-kata doa yang sangat diperlukannya. Mari kita memberitahu ribuan orang tentang Gabriel dan menghantar ribuan doa kepadanya.

Update 20 March 2012:

Dear Rinpoche,
Gabriel’s mom is looking after Gabriel with much love and care. Passed her the comic ‘A Princess called Flowers’. As I conducted prayers she was doing physio to his arms and legs and wiping saliva from lips whenever there is small seizure. Docs giving him steroids now. Reassured her that Gabriel is having the best paediatrician  in Malaysia looking after him according to many doctors.
When he responded with  eye movements its so hopeful.
Pastor Ngeow

 

 

 

Update Arpil 13, 2012 (by Cynthia lee):

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. The good news is Gabriel is getting better. They did an EEG today which tracks brain waves, and it shows that he is having fewer seizures. It means that he is responding to the new medication from the doctors, and the treatment is working.  To everyone who prayed for him, thank you. 

Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers. 

 

Update Arpil 19, 2012 (by Pastor Ngeow):

Dear Rinpoche,
This afternoon did prayers for Gabriel with David , Thierry,  Adeline, Yoke Fui, Su An. I feel hopeful when touching Gabriel head talking to him and he responded by rolling eyes.
His mom said Drs slowly reducing steroid and …optimistic. He can breathe on his own now without oxygen support.
Rgds Pastor Ngeow
 
 
 
Update April 25, 2012 (by Pastor Susan)

Dear Rinpoche,

This evening, Ellena (Gabriel’s mom) came to Kechara House to join the Medicine Buddha puja.

After prayers, Dr Lanse, Mdm Lim & Prof Choi went with me to visit Gabriel. Ellena informed that 2 days ago, dooctor reduced further sedative medication. Gabriel didn’t show physical signs of seizures. This Friday, doctor will evaluate the steroids dosage if it should remain or be reduced.

Gabriel was awake when we arrived. He responded by fluttering his eye lids when we stroke his head. His parents are hoping for more medication to be reduced in his next evaluation.

Love
Susan

    Dear Gabriel –

    If I could experience your suffering for you, I would. I’m praying and making offerings for you, and your loving family.

    May you get well soon, little Gabriel, and may you have many, many, years of happiness and success.

  6. tenzin llhamo on Mar 18, 2012 at 11:50 am

    It is really sad and painful for both mother and son to suffer from pain like this. It makes me cry because of it. His mum and his connections to Rinpoche led him to receiving the initiation although in a sad situation but in any way they are both now blessed with Amitayus never ending love. We offer our our love, prayers, best wishes to Gabriel to get well soon.
    To Gabriel’s mum, please take care of your health as well. May you never have to suffer the pain this way again.

  7. Frederick Law on Mar 18, 2012 at 11:50 am

    May Gabriel get well soon and for his family to continue being strong during these difficult time. I am so relieved and glad that this young boy managed to get blessing from Rinpoche and all caring Kecharians, both that attended and the ones that did pujas for him in Gompa. From now, whatever happens, we know he will be ok.

  25. Paris on Mar 18, 2012 at 2:08 pm

    Dear Ellena and Gabriel,
    I was so happy we were able to come by the hospital yesterday for Rinpoche to do the initiation and prayers for Gabriel. I, and many others, are very concerned and you are in my prayers. May Gabriel recover quickly, fully and with much strength and that he live a thousand years to do much greatness in the world.

    Ellena, please take care of yourself too. I know it must be so hard being there all day, every day. Please keep yourself strong and healthy too. Our pastors will be teaching you some mantras, please do as much as you can – they will benefit both little Gabriel and yourself tremendously.
    With much much love and many prayers,

    Paris xxxx

  26. jeanai on Mar 18, 2012 at 2:37 pm

    Gabriel can’t really respond but his mother stays by his side, day and night, just to make sure he’s not alone. A mother’s love really is unconditional and totally without agenda. Elena, you’re a very strong woman and not many will be able to go through what you are facing, with as much grace and composure. You’re an inspiration to people everywhere to show them what true love is.

    Thank you Rinpoche for conferring Amitayus to bless little Gabriel. In planting the seeds of enlightenment in his mind, may Gabriel get well and gain the body, speech and mind of Amitayus. Everybody is praying for you little one, get well soon x

  31. Chöpel on Mar 18, 2012 at 3:13 pm

    Please let me dedicate 40.000 Green Tara mantras from my last short Tara retreat just finished last week. I’ll continue to dedicate my daily Tara mantras and Guru Rinpoche prayers to remove obstacles for little Gabriel and his family.

  32. Girlie on Mar 18, 2012 at 3:14 pm

    Hello Gabriel
    You do not know me, we have never met.
    May you heal fast and grow stronger every day.

    Dear Ellena
    You inspire me with your unconditional love and unwavering care for your child. May all Mother beings follow your footsteps.

    Dear Gabriel, we are all with you in our prayers and thoughts. Be brave and strong for your mummy loves you dearly. We will all pray for your speedy recovery. Elena, you are such an inspiration to all mothers. Your strength and determination is beyond words. Have faith in Amitayus practice, in the Buddhas. You are not alone, we are all with you.

  36. Melvin on Mar 18, 2012 at 3:57 pm

    I will dedicate my daily prostrations as well as a Nyung Ne retreat I will participate in this weekend on Gabriel’s behalf. May Gabriel’s karmic debts, obstacles, and suffering without exception ripen upon me in the form of any discomfort I feel during Nyung Ne and doing prostrations, and may he have happiness and the results of any little virtue I create. May he be invested in pure bliss beyond suffering.

    No matter what appearances may arise, be they good or bad, may Gabriel, his family, and friends, be able to transform them into a path that enhances renunciation, conventional bodhicitta and the wisdom realizing emptiness, and may any self-grasping/self-cherishing be totally eradicated as a result. May this suffering he and his dear ones are experiencing transform into a cause for complete enlightenment.

    With love and prayers from Southern California,
    Melvin

  37. su an on Mar 18, 2012 at 4:00 pm

    Dear Gabriel baby… get well soon… remember what Rinpoche tell you and think of Buddha… You will be in my prayers every day. Look forward to the news of you opening your eyes to the blessed mala above your bed =)

    Dear Ellena, stay strong and have faith… you and your son have been blessed by Rinpoche and the Buddhas. Do take care of yourself.

  38. Datuk May on Mar 18, 2012 at 4:01 pm

    Dear Elena,

    Seeing you with Gabriel in the hospital is an inspiration for me, also a mother and grandmother. Your love and care for Gabriel is unconditional, the ultimate form of love.

    May Gabriel recover and forever have the powerful imprints in his mindstream from the initiation and blessings from Rinpoche.

    May you and Gabriel gain tremendous merits to have also given many older kecharians, me included to have the opportunity of Amitayus initiation and blessings from Rinpoche.

    Both of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

  39. Cynthia L on Mar 18, 2012 at 4:08 pm

    Dear Gabriel,
    You will be in my prayers from now till your recovery.

    I will do as Rinpoche requested and get a minimum 5K people to pray for you. If this is what is required to get well, let’s all work together to achieve it.

    Everyone, please join this cause and help spread the word. It’s easier to keep track and reach 5K goal this way. —-> http://www.causes.com/causes/658552-pray-for-little-gabriel

    I wish the same for Tamedran Raj also.

  42. Uncle Eddie on Mar 18, 2012 at 5:05 pm

    Through the powerful blessings of the noble compassionate Green Tara, may all destructive and negatative forces, emotions and obscurations of Gaberial and his neighbour,Tamedran Raj, be purified and removed. May the noble compassionate Green Tara, who always grants wishes to whosoever prays to her, responds with a complete cure and liberate them from their suffering sickness and be well again. May there be peace, happiness and good health for all sentient beings as well as for these two too! Om Tare Tutaree, Turee Soha.

    Wishing you soothing, healing and a fast recovery now…love and light to you Gabriel and your family.

  47. Siong Woan on Mar 18, 2012 at 5:47 pm

    Dear little Gabriel,

    It pains us to see you in such illness, but you are extremely lucky to have your mother beside you day and night taking care of you. It must be due to strong karmic connection that your monthr’s cry for help landed on the right ears, hence you were able to receive initiation and blessings from Rinpoche.

    Now all you have to do is to get well, to relieve your mom’s burden and live a useful life serving ours!

    All of us are here offering our prayers to you…

  48. Adeline on Mar 18, 2012 at 6:31 pm

    Will dedicate my daily prayers and offer candle lights to cute little Gabriel’s swift recovery. May his loving and caring mother Ellena will be out of these difficult times soonest possible.

    I thank God for you having such good karma and blessings to have HH Tsem Tulku Rinpoche by your side, he is a blessing and great man!!

    Dear Gabriel and Ellena… I am not a parent but I can feel your pain as I have 2 godchildren whom I adore and love tremendously and I would be beside myself should anything happen to them.

    However, if it is any consolation, it was a tremendous blessing for you both and all of us there. As Rinpoche says, either way, Gabriel WILL be fine. Have faith and I pray you will hug a chirpy and energetic Gabriel in your loving arms again soon…

    Get well soon! :(

  80. ani kunzang on Mar 19, 2012 at 9:18 am

    I am deeply moved, Rinpoche. Thank You.

  81. henry ooi on Mar 19, 2012 at 10:20 am

    I was one of the fortunate ones to witness and receive this powerful Amitayus Amitabha initiation and blessing. It was sad to see Gabriel hooked on equipment will tubes going into his mouth to aid breathing. It was comforting to see a mother’s love and compassion in Ellena, Gabriel’s mom, tenderly attending to him.

    The dharma discourse by Rinpoche before, during and after the initiation was yet another profound teaching.

    In the same ward, another Indian boy, Tamedran Raj, lies in coma, his lungs filled with blood. His parents and relatives were anxiously waiting outside the room where Rinpoche gave the blessings. As soon as the initiation was over, they approached the staff of Rinpoche’s private office (PO) requesting for prayers too. Rinpoche gave instructions to the PO staff and pastors who returned that very night to assist Tamedran and his family. Pastor Susan followed up the next day and did prayers and taught the family the prayers as well.

    The latest update is that Tamedran has slightly recovered with two teams of doctors watching over him.

    May Gabriel and Tamedran recover fully.

    Another one of Rinpoche’s great compassion in action.

  82. nicholas on Mar 19, 2012 at 10:50 am

    Dear Ellena,

    Will pray and dedicate for Gabriel speedy recovery.
    It’s a great blessing from Rinpoche for conferring Amitayus to Gabriel and also for the others. May Gabriel recover quickly and relief from all suffering.
    Would very much want to see him join in the animal liberation in future.

    Pls take good care of yourself. It’s not easy but Gabriel need you.
    We all will always be with you and little Gabriel.

  83. Pinky on Mar 19, 2012 at 11:15 am

    Stay strong and hope little Gabriel will recover soon.

  84. Jester on Mar 19, 2012 at 11:16 am

    I want to send a message to Gabriel’s mother: I can understand you in my way, my mother’s been sick for weeks now, she’s still at the hospital, and during this hardest time I was fortunate enough to be able to reach out to Rinpoche who told me what to do to help my mother. When things get so difficult we can understand the true meaning of Refuge, we understand how our Guru is everything. I will be praying to Setrap for your little Gabriel too. Much Love and prayers!

  167. KC on Mar 20, 2012 at 8:15 am

    Last weekend I was away to Penang for works and I saw many posts in facebook about Gabriel and Tamedran Raj. I felt the love and compassion from Rinpoche and everyone else toward these 2 little boys. I decided to take some times off and make a candle offering to Buddha at Kek Lok Si Temple in Penang and dedicated to the swift recovery of both of them. _/\_ Om Mani Padme Hung.

  177. Karen C. on Mar 20, 2012 at 1:26 pm

    小Gabriel,赶快起來啦,睡得太久就不好玩了。我們在這裡每個人都在等著你呢!Gabriel,長得很得人疼愛,雖然他現在睡在病床上,可是還是一副淘氣得不得了的模樣。小Gabriel的父親為了爱兒,不僅辞掉自己的工作,專心一致地照顧小Gabriel,这份父子情,實在令人心生感動。

    自從小Gabriel出事以來,全家都以积极樂觀的態度,那對小Gabriel來說,價值卻不相同。所以,只要大家有空就馬上安排。也請為小Gabriel做最良善的招待。借助我們的。

    You don’t know me but I heard you weren’t well – so I am sending you my best thoughts and wishes so you get well really soon ! I bet you didn’t know you had a friend in Ireland did you ? Maybe you’ll write to me when you feel better. You are really a beautiful boy!

    Good afternoon dear friends. Just to let you know that Gabriel is breathing on his own during the day without the aid of machines now. However, in order not to over stress his body, he uses machines at night to help his breathing. Our Pastors are continuing to go to the hospital to pray, visit and convey all your well wishes to Gabriel’s parents. Thank you for all your continuous prayers from around the world.

    April 13 news : i’ve just received news from Gabriel’s mom, Ellena. Gabriel had EEG test this morning. The results shown improvement and his neuro doc feels the steroids is helping in seizure. She will continue to give him the steroids meds and plan to reduce dosage of his anti-convulsions meds gradually in the coming weeks. Docs say that his muscles responds have improved also.

    April 19, 2012-Pastor Ngeow went and did prayers for Gabriel with a group of Kecharians. The Doctors have taken Gabriel out of intensive care and to a normal ward which is a good sign. They are slowly reducing the steroid and Gabriel can breathe on his own without oxygen support. I am happy to hear this. TR

  232. Pastor Susan on Apr 26, 2012 at 1:29 am

    Dear friends. This evening Lanse, Mdm Lim, Prof Choi went with me to visit little Gabriel. Just wanted you to share with you on Gabriel’s condition. Ellena (Gabriel’s mom) informed that two days ago, Dr further reduced sedative medication. Gabriel didn’t show physical signs of seizures.This Friday, Dr will evaluate the steroids dosage if it should remain or also to be reduced. Gabriel was awake when we arrived. He responded by fluttering his eyelids when we stroke his head. Let’s pray that little Gabriel will be less dependent on medication, and gain strength each day towards his full recovery.

  233. wt on Apr 27, 2012 at 2:27 pm

    Hi Gabriel, it is great to hear that you have improvement. May you have less and less dependant on medication & get well asap. You can do it! you are always in my prayer!
    Om Maha Yak Cha Tza Soha!

    Hi Ellena,
    Keep praying, and i’m sure Gabriel can be healthy again soon and go home with you.
    加油!

  234. Pastor Susan on May 4, 2012 at 3:24 pm

    Dear Friends.

    Gabriel’s sedative medication has been reduced for a few weeks now and he has been free of seizures for 1 month… however, he started to have a few seizures recently. Please keep him in your prayers during this wesak celebration. Light a candle for Gabriel. Say a prayer and send good thoughts of recovery for him and strength for his parents.

    Thank you so much.

  235. Pastor Susan on May 6, 2012 at 11:54 pm

    Visited Gabriel this evening. It’s closed to 5 months now that this boy has been in this condition. His muscles are weakening due to inactivities. Physiotherapist identified his shoulder muscles weakening and the joint area is loosened. His seizures came back but not as frequent as before with the current lowered medication dosage. Please continue to keep Gabriel in your prayers.

    • wt on May 7, 2012 at 11:31 am

      Will keep praying for him. May i know if the Doctors have found out the cause for seizures? take care!

  236. Pastor Susan on May 29, 2012 at 2:57 pm

    Update May 29th :
    Dear Friends, This is the latest news about little Gabriel’s condition. He has been vomitting and in pain. He is scheduled to go for a CT brain scan now as doctors are concern it could be brain edema that’s causing the vomitting. If found, Edema will cause more damage to his brain. Please pray that it’s not and that the doctors will find a way of helping gabriel and that the medicine administered works effectively on him. Thank you so much.

  237. Pastor Susan on May 29, 2012 at 5:03 pm

    Update May 29th from ellena :
    Test result came back. There is brain edema so doctors will perfom a lumbar puncture to test the pressure. Not much changes in MRI result done in February. His brain is quite damaged.. and reversible is not likely unless miracle happens.

  238. Pastor Susan on Jun 5, 2012 at 11:43 pm

    Dear Friends.
    It’s been close to 6 months since Gabriel has been ill. The doctors cut down sedatives to help him wake up but now that the effects of the sedatives are lessening in his system, his seizures are recurring again. Doctors said that perhaps the seizures didn’t go away but was just suppressed by the sedatives, steroids and other chemicals administered to him.

    Because of the prolonged medication, it stresses out his organs and now it’s affecting his liver. He’s not been able to hold down milk because of the seizures and has been on drip mostly. If medication is increased again, his seizures will be under controlled but his organs will be affected. Today his left lung collapsed. Please continue to pray for Gabriel. Thank you.

  239. ken lim on Jun 9, 2012 at 10:56 pm

    my prayers are with Gabriel for a speedy recovery.

  240. Pastor Susan on Jun 11, 2012 at 4:11 pm

    Dear Friends
    Ellena (Gabriel’s mom) shared that Gabriel has been seizuring non-stop these few days and sometimes vomits due to the seizures and coughs. Gabriel has been receiving acupuncture treatment since January. As of 3 days ago, he has started to receive chinese medicine treatment (taken orally) as doctors are willing to let the family try since they can’t do much for him anymore.

    Please continue your prayers for Gabriel.

  241. Oana on Jun 13, 2012 at 6:27 pm

    May Gabriel be blessed with health and long life!

  242. Pastor Susan on Jun 19, 2012 at 2:48 pm

    Dear Friends

    Just wanted to share with you Gabriel’s condition as of June 17th.

    Doctors have increased back his medications to keep his seizures under control.

    Gabriel is getting more traditional chinese treatment from various practitioners. When i was there this past sunday, I saw Gabriel being treated by a man who heard about Gabriel’s condition and on his own decided to lend his services. He does chi (energy) treatment. Gabriel’s lungs have weakened and is back on ventilator.

    Then an acupuncturist lady who is a long time friend of Gabriel’s grandma came and stuck many acupuncture needles into Gabriel. This lady understudied with her master many decades ago. Her master has since passed away but she kept this rare and special herbal recipe medicine from 27 years ago. This recipe healed 2 people in similar condition back then which this lady witnessed, so she’s administering it on Gabriel.

    Please continue to send your prayers to Gabriel and words of support for his family.

    thank you so much.

  243. Su Ming on Jun 19, 2012 at 5:02 pm

    Just spoke to Ellena (Gabriel’s mom).

    Gabriel’s current condition
    1. Stop seizuring as the doctor has again increase his dosage
    2. Started his traditional chinese medicine for a week plus

    Last week when I visited Ellena with Li Kheng from Shanghai, I spent an hour plus with her. Gabriel was not doing that well at that time ie one side of his lungs had collapsed due to him being bedridden and etc. Ellena has started traditional chinese medication on Gabriel which will take a while to see the results but the chinese doctor is very experience and she has the prescription from her teacher who had cure a few similar cases like Gabriel.

    Ellena is doing ok, she is very strong….SUPER strong. I really respect this lady…it has been almost half a year that Gabriel has been in this condition. His mom and his grandmother without fail has been by his bedside every single day. Not only she relies on the advice from the doctors, she has done and is still doing more research. Plus, she also goes around the ICU comforting other parents.

    Please continue having Gabriel on your prayers. We at Kechara will be visiting the family frequently to be a part of the support for Ellena and her family.

  244. pastor susan on Jul 29, 2012 at 10:43 pm

    Today, I visited little Gabriel at the hospital. There were a group of Christians who came to visit n prayed for him too.

    Gabriel is suffering from seizures quite often n vomiting. He has lost weight.
    Please continue to pray for him n his family. Thank u so much.

  245. Pastor Susan on Aug 24, 2012 at 5:15 pm

    Aug 24th, 2012

    This morning I visited Gabriel. His seizures happens very often…almost constantly. His dad Gary, takes the night shift to take care of him. Gary asked how is Rinpoche doing and we had a nice short chat. Ellena, his mom came shortly after and Gary left to go rest.

    While I was doing some prayers, a group of doctors came to do their morning round. They discussed adjusting the dosage of various medication and also what kind of medication to administer.

    After prayers, I had a nice chat with Ellena on Tsongkhapa’s Guru Yoga practice, on the power of visualization, on developing compassion as she takes care of Gabriel tirelessly. Ellena has increased the frequency to do animal liberation to dedicate to Gabriel.

    Just to update on Gabriel. I visited him on Sun 26 Aug in the normal ward now. His seizures are rather frequent. The Chinese Doctor has been very kind to travel to UMMC to carry out twice a week to administer acupuncture on Gabriel. Ellena is very grateful to our pastors for visiting Gabriel despite their busy schedules. If I am not mistaken, Ellena said that Gabriel’s condition may be difficult to treat if the seizure is to continue. I hope everyone will have Gabriel in your prayers so that he will get well soon. Ellena is a super strong mom and she takes very good care of Gabriel.

  247. Pastor Susan on Nov 22, 2012 at 6:46 pm

    Good afternoon everyone.
    Update on Gabriel as of Nov 22nd :

    When I arrived in Gabriel’s hospital room, Gary (Gabriel’s dad) and a foot reflexologist was there. I greeted them and Gabriel as well and was saying to Gabriel how nice to have his foot massaged. To my surprised, Gabriel reacted back with a smile. :)

    Gary told me that a month ago, a nurse noticed Gabriel smiled. Since then, he has been smiling more. I noticed his body is so much more less tensed, his fingers not stiffed like before and the muscles around his shoulders are relaxed. He can move his head left and right whenever he feels uncomfortable. His eyes are more focused as well.

    He is also getting regular TCM treatment, his parents are sponsoring animal liberation, prayers and giving him so much care round the clock.

    Do continue to send your prayers to Gabriel and his family.

    much thanks

  248. Wah Ying on Dec 6, 2012 at 9:02 am

    So happy to see Gabriel smiling! Gambateh Gabriel and Gabriel mummy! You have me and my family’s prayers.

  249. Albert Ratchaga on Dec 6, 2012 at 11:07 am

    This is such a wonderful news, Gabriel has finally woke up, after so many months of battling, he won, Congratulations Gabriel…

    Kechara Forest Retreat awaits your arrivals :)

    Our mind is really very powerful, when we have a very strong mind, we can achieve what we can’t before, Gabriel has prove us that.

    With Kechara, many people got helped, with Rinpoche, many people got saved, Rinpoche’s compassion really moved the world, I know Hospital is not easy to make special arrangement and their rules are very strict, but for Gabriel, for someone we don’t know, Kecharian has successfully made this arrangement for Gabriel to receive the initiation in a proper manner, the kind of care and effort was not able to be found easily, but Rinpoche created it here.

  250. Sheryl KH (JB) on Dec 6, 2012 at 1:57 pm

    It is really very heart-warming to come to know that Gabriel is starting to give responses after the Amitayus initiation nearly nine months ago.

    It must have been hard on Gabriel, he may really want to wake up and make responses but he simply cannot. It must have been hard on his families as well, especially his mother who needs to take good care of her son while containing pains within herself.

    Since end Nov we are starting to see clearer signs of Gabriel recovering. I pray that Gabriel will continue to show signs of recovery and that very soon he will be jumping and joking around like many other kids, and to repay the kindness of those who care for him so much.

  251. Jace Chong on Dec 6, 2012 at 2:39 pm

    So glad to read about the improvement of little Gabriel.

    Gabriel, may you improve swiftly and we want to hear you laugh!

  252. Judy on Dec 6, 2012 at 3:00 pm

    Good news from Pastor Susan. I am always hopeful about Gabriel’s recovery and seeing him smile again is just a poignant moment. We must continue to have him in our prayers and continue to wish for his good recovery. Thank you Rinpoche for all your prayers, Gabriel’s mum Ellena for tirelessly being at Gabriel’s side and our Pastors for their prayers and care.

  253. patsy on Dec 6, 2012 at 6:14 pm

    So glad to know that little Gabriel is showing some signs of response. I hope he will recover soon to visit Kechara Forest Retreat.

    We will all pray for you for your speedy recovery. Be strong, Gabriel. We will like to see more of your smiles:)

  254. Louise Lee on Dec 6, 2012 at 6:36 pm

    身为父母,最不想看见自己的儿女躺在床上!被病魔折磨。小 Gabriel 病卧在床,身为母妻的一定非常心痛!

    当 Gabriel 病重的当时, 他母妻求助无门, 来到了 Kechara 。 得到Rinpoche 的加持与中心的朋友都祝福与关怀!

    今天,看到 Gabriel 的笑容, 绝对是我们大家都快乐! 小 Gabriel , 你必须快点好起来! 将来你可以把你的经历与大家分享!

  255. Milly on Dec 6, 2012 at 7:42 pm

    May Gabriel get well soon and visit KFR and play with the dogs just as what Pastor Susan said to him. With Rinpoche’s prayers and Amitayus blessings and prayers from well-wishers, Gabriel has made good recovery. May Ellena have good health and continue to be strong to take care of Gabriel.

  256. hecelus tan on Dec 6, 2012 at 7:46 pm

    When I saw little Gabriel,I can feel that how fortunate I am that I am be able to have a healthy body and practice Dharma. May Gabriel recovery as soon as possible.May Gabriel received all blessing from Rinpoche himself,Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from the ten directions.OM MANI PADME HUM

  257. tenzin llhamo on Dec 6, 2012 at 9:58 pm

    Finally! Little strong Gabriel is awake! May his body be physically strong soon. So happy to know that he is awake! I am very sure his mum is super happy. May we continue to send our love and prayers to Gabriel!

  260. Jessica Yap on Dec 7, 2012 at 1:33 am

    OMB. What great news! Hello there little Gabriel! Good to see that you’re awake now.. May you be healthy and protected by the 3 Jewels always!

    See you around kid! :)

    Thank you ,Rinpoche!

  261. Felix Kong on Dec 7, 2012 at 2:15 am

    Is so glad to hear this news, really fortunate that have blessing of Rinpoche,Amitayus and Kechara members . Little Gabriel,may you get well soon and free from this suffering again.

  262. Martin on Dec 7, 2012 at 3:00 am

    This is fantastic news. A few months ago, Rinpoche was informed about little Gabriel and conferred Amitayus initiation on the boy. Amitayus is commonly referred to as the Long Life Buddha and is often called upon to remove obstacles that endangers one’s life and it is wonderful to see Gabriel conscious and smiling after such a long time in coma. I am glad to see Rinpoche’s picture always nearby Gabriel and may Rinpoche’s prayers and blessings continue to be with Gabriel.

    Gabriel and his mother and family have been through so much and I hope there is even better news ahead about Gabriel’s condition.

  263. Pastor Yek Yee on Dec 7, 2012 at 4:13 am

    It is so happy when you see someone got improvement from their sickness. I went to visit Gabriel many times, every time I went to see him then I saw Gabriel’s mother and father. They really not give up their and take full care of the son. This make me feel so heavy because no one know when little Gabriel will be wake up! I remembered Gabriel’s grandma cried in front of me, because she still cannot accept why her grandson become like this, she just too love her grandson.

    I like all of the people hoping Gabriel can wake up one day, then I believed that all peoples around him will more happier and appreciate what they have now. They are kind people, they love this kid, they hope he can wake up again! Yes, sometime if you believe in miracle then the miracle will happen, how miracle happen, through our pure love and care…may be….

  264. Henry Ooi on Dec 7, 2012 at 1:43 pm

    It’s indeed wonderful news to hear of Gabriel. May the Three Jewels watch over him and may he recover soon.

  265. Uncle Eddie on Dec 7, 2012 at 5:31 pm

    It’s really wonderful and with heart-felt happiness to see Gabriel’s smile of life! May Amitayus initiation continues to protect him and liberate all further sufferings from Gabriel and make him well and strong again. We will all continue to pray for Gabriel until he is well again. Om mani Padme Hum.

  266. Lim Han Nee on Dec 7, 2012 at 6:51 pm

    We have been watching closely, all these months, Gabriel’s condition,and praying for him . For a long while,he had been in the same state with no improvement. Then recently, he has begun to smile. It’s like the sun peeping out of the dark clouds! This must bring much gladness and relief to loved ones, and friends, who have been in great pain and anguish all this while.

    Great news indeed. May Gabriel continue to progress in recovery. May he be well soon.

  267. Darren Kechara Paradise on Dec 8, 2012 at 4:02 am

    Am happy to see good progress on Gabriel. May he recover and well soon. My prayers are on you little Gabriel…

  268. MayOng on Dec 8, 2012 at 9:03 pm

    Rinpoche always know what prayers is appropriate for those who are in need of it. All these prayers given by Rinpoche are effective if they are followed through.

    Little Gabriel – may you get well soon so you may play in Kechara Village and KFR. For Ellena, please continue to be strong for little Gabriel as he is being blessed by the Buddhas.

  269. AdelineTan on Dec 9, 2012 at 12:59 am

    Dear Ellena, it’s so nice to see little Gariel smiles again,he’ll be still in my prayers until he has recovered completely, get well soon .

  270. Fredercik Law on Dec 9, 2012 at 3:14 pm

    It is such a wonderful news for Elena and family, Gabriel is a strong boy too. Am happy to see Gabriel finally able to open his eyes and respond. Elena and family loves for Gabriel is unwavering and taking care of him since the first day until now shows unconditional love and care for him, and also never gives up caring for him. Through the power of the 3 Jewels and Rinpoche blessing, so happy to see Gabriel able to move and repond. :)

  271. June Tang(KHJB) on Dec 9, 2012 at 5:00 pm

    Such a very good news from Pastor Susan !! So glad to know that little Gabriel is awake ^_^ Gabriel is a strong boy and very fortunate to have blessing from Rinpoche and three jewels.May you get well soon and can visit KFR with your mum !!

  272. judy lam on Dec 11, 2012 at 12:39 am

    So happy to see Gabriel smile! Hope Gabriel knows that Rinpoche and many people care, love and pray for him. May he regain his strength and wake up to our hugs and embrace. May the Buddhas always watch over him and bless him. The Pastors have been tirelessly visiting and praying for Gabriel, thank you so much.

  273. lewkwanleng on Dec 11, 2012 at 2:33 am

    I visited Gabriel few days ago after visiting a friend in University Hospital. At that time, he was sleeping. I am really happy to see Gabriel is able to smile despite suffering in this state.

    Another kids who is 2 wards away from Gabriel, is also suffering tremendously and requires medical equipments to help him breath.

    Walking into kids wards reminds me of the many sufferings in this world, and reminds me to serve others more.

  274. bk on Dec 11, 2012 at 2:33 am

    Very happy for little Gabriel, and for his parents, who never once lost faith in Rinpoche and the prayers prescribed for his parents to do. And many thanks to the Kechara pastors who never failed to visit Gabriel and the family, and to do more prayers and blessings for him.

    Mantras and prayers are truly powerful for healing. And Gabriel is so very fortunate to have Rinpoche convey the Amitayus initiation on him. Rinpoche rarely confers initiation, but when the need is great, Rinpoche will do so.

    In fact, Rinpoche is the holder of hundreds of lineages, having received these initiations at the feet of his gurus, including Kyabje Zong Rinpoche, Kyabje Lati Rinpoche and Kensur Jampa Yeshe Rinpoche. Rinpoche has kept up his practices all these years – I have personally seen Rinpoche staying up overnight in order to complete his sadhanas.

    And I was told that Rinpoche is upkeeping all these practices so that if someone needs them, he is able to convey the necessary teachings. So incredibly compassionate.

  275. Lim (KH JB) on Dec 11, 2012 at 3:35 am

    Gambateh Gabriel, peoples all over the world especially Rinpoche and Kecharians will be always beside you and pray for you…

    Nice to see your smiles, and Gabriel mother thanks for ur passion for being take super good care to Gabriel. May Gabriel can say Thanks Mummy to u as soon possible…

  276. Su Ming on Dec 14, 2012 at 12:27 am

    I am very happy to hear about Gabriel.

    I am also happy that Gabriel’s mom has been following the divination results given beginning of this year. A few months back, I had a long chat with Gabriel’s mom, she was very diligent and serious with the divination prescription. In fact she went through with me one by one and told me she has done everything.

    There are similar incidences like Gabriel, those who has follow through on the divination instruction, it will definitely benefit them on a long term basis.

  277. Davin on Dec 14, 2012 at 10:00 pm

    Great news! Gabriel is getting better now. Glad to see that smile of Gabriel. May this beautiful and special boy recover soon. Thank you for sharing, Rinpoche.

  278. Venix on Dec 15, 2012 at 6:17 pm

    May Gabriel speedy recovery. May he get healthy soon and no more suffering belong to him.
    Best of luck.

  279. Erickksiow on Dec 16, 2012 at 11:31 pm

    Glad to see Gabriel is fine, will continue to do more prayer to him.

    Regards : Erickksiow

  280. grace (KHJB) on Dec 17, 2012 at 5:49 pm

    Glad to know that Gabriel is getting better and better…and now he able to open his eye and smiles …i wish that Gabriel can get well soon and able to visit KFR one day.

  281. Choi Sheem on Dec 21, 2012 at 3:51 pm

    Dear Gabriel,
    May you recover swiftly and continue to be a lively boy again. You are always in our prayers.

  282. AdelineTan on Dec 21, 2012 at 5:14 pm

    It’s so wonderful to see little Gabriel smiles again,may you recover completely and speedily, you are in my daily prayer.

  283. yenpin on Dec 22, 2012 at 10:20 pm

  284. Pastor Susan on Dec 23, 2012 at 12:37 am

    Update as of Dec 23rd :

    Gabriel has lung infection and been having fever for 1 week. He was awake when I visited today. Ellena (his mom) was sponging him to lower down his fever and his aunt mee yin was there to assist as well.

    Please continue to send prayers and your well wishes to him and his family

    thank you

    • wei theng on Dec 24, 2012 at 3:40 pm

      Thanks P. Susan for the updates. Hope Gabriel will recover soon. Will dedicate my daily prayers to him..

  285. ERIC LEE KHJB on Dec 25, 2012 at 12:37 pm

    只要你相信佛法,奇迹将会出现,这这句话深深的印在我的脑海里。不管是我个人的经验,或是一些发生在仁波切的学生和他周围的故事,都说明了佛法的无所不能,所以只要有佛法,所有的问题都能迎刃而解,就像gabriel一样,透过佛法而赢回健康,这又在一次的证明了佛法的无所不能,所以我希望所有的六道众生能有缘来学习佛法,离苦的得乐。

  286. Pastor Chia on Dec 28, 2012 at 4:21 pm

    What the wonderful news see little Gabriel awake with the smiling face. Ellena show so much care and compassion toward Gabriel. Many prayer from Rinpoche and Kecharian sending their sincere prayer energy to Gabriel to recover. This is one of the reason how people can show their love and care to each other at dharma family.

  287. jennifer on Dec 30, 2012 at 2:58 pm

    Dear Gabriel,
    You have such a beautiful smile and i was in tears when i saw the photo of you awake and smiling !
    You and your mother are all the time in our prayers and in our thoughts and i am sure we all look forward to when you and your mom visit KFR and play with the many doggies there.
    Get well most soon , little one .

  288. Pastor Susan on Dec 30, 2012 at 11:12 pm

    Update Dec 30, 2012 :

    Gabriel had lung infection and fever for over a week and was put on antibiotics which weakens the body. He has recovered from the infection and fever when i visited him today. He was asleep when i was there. Besides his mom him, his grandma was also there to visit and takes care of him.

    The family is getting ready to bring him home. The family was told by the doctors that his condition requires long term care and the hospital is not able to provide such facility. However, the hospital is not rushing them to leave but giving the family time to prepare for the transition.

    Do continue to pray for gabriel and the family and may your good wishes returns many fold for your loved ones as well.

    Happy new year to all and I wish you all the best in the coming year.

  289. Joy on Jan 4, 2013 at 11:40 pm

    I rejoice very much in seeing that little Gabriel is getting better and showing signs of improvements. I also rejoice that we Kecharians can be of assistance to people like Gabriel and his mother and how perfect it is that we have Pastors who are like Rinpoche’s arm and eyes who goes out there to help with no conditions and with all their heart.

    This is exactly what Rinpoche has always taught us, that if we are sincere, we do not need to always rely on “Lama”, we have the ability and power to also help, as what the Buddha’s teachings says, we have a Buddha nature… and I suppose this is one way Rinpoche is showing us that we are capable… if we put in action and effort, trust, and believe in what we learn and teach.

    Thank you Pastor Susan for your consistent care and prayers towards Gabriel… you definitely inspire many and I am sure you’ve brought much hope to Gabriel and his mum. We are proud of you! ;)

  290. Jutika on Jan 15, 2013 at 2:03 am

    Dear Rinpoche,

    Hear Are My Thoughts on Gabriel Smiles.

    1. To hear Gabriel smile finally show that whatever prayers being done and dedicated to him are finally taking action.

    2. Whatever Rinpoche has done for Gabriel is really working out thus proving that if you believe in a Buddha 100% you get 100% results if you only believe in a Buddha 50% you get only 50% results.

    3. May Gabriel quickly recover so that he can be able to get up on his feet and join Dharma, as well as may he never get any such serios illnesses. OM MANI PADMI HUNG

    With Love
    Jutika

    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.
~Tsem Rinpoche

We are packing up all my items at my private residence (Haven) to send to Kechara Forest Retreat right now. There are about 30 Kecharians here helping. Even Ms Han who is under treatment for cancer is here right now in Haven helping (photo of her with scarf). She is really devoted. Everyone wanted her to stay home and rest and she insists on coming to help. Wow. Tsem Rinpoche

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

    Very touching video...Buddha said it was very important to visit the four holy places associated with Him before our deaths. Remembering this, I had instructed Paul to take this senior group to Bodhgaya and make sure they are able to plant imprints.

    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.
