Incredible!!!!!! from JJ & Joshua
Dear Friends,
I love it when anything comes from the heart… Spontaneity, care, effort and thoughtful actions will show anyone that you’re sincere. Gifts do not need to be physical or monetary, but whatever it is should be from the heart.
JJ had a friend sculpt this sacred statue of my teacher H.E. Kensur Jampa Yeshe Rinpoche who entered clear light this year… then JJ and his friend Joshua painted and had traditional clothes sewn. JJ even went all the way and contacted friends in Gaden Monastery also to get some of the relics of Kensur Rinpoche and other holy items to put inside. I am stunned at the beauty of this most thoughtful and spiritual gift.
Joshua made a fabulous statue of the Fasting Buddha for me also. Joshua is so creative and talented. I was amazed at the beauty of the work coupled with so much devotion, sincerity and care. I realize now Joshua is very talented….
Also they included a statue of Tsongkapa they purchased made of Lava stone. Although the statue is around 8 inches, it is very heavy and beautiful.
I thank them for the beautiful gifts which I want to share with everyone. Thank you so much JJ and Joshua for your efforts, kind thoughts and so much planning into this….

JJ’s Letter
Dear Rinpoche,
I would like to offer this statue of His Eminence Kensur Rinpoche Jetsun Jampa Yeshe to you. Rinpoche told me before in the early days of KH that one of the ways of prolonging a Lama’s life is by offering him a statue of the lineage master so that the lineage masters will bless for the Lama’s work to grow and for the Lama’s life to be long and healthy.
Enshrined within the statue is a tsatsa of Je Tsongkhapa which has fragments of Kensur Rinpoche’s bones and ashes from the funeral pyre. This tsatsa comes from Kensur Ladrang and I got it through my Geshe friend in Gaden. Among other holy items are chakras, protection string, mani pills from HHDL and HH 102 Gaden Tri Rinpoche.
The statue is sculpted by a friend, Amos from wood clay and both Joshua and myself refined the statue and painted it to what Rinpoche sees today.
Ever since meeting Rinpoche, hearing thousands of stories about Gaden, the two great Lamas from all of Rinpoche’s gurus impression stuck deep within my mind. One is Kensur Rinpoche and the other is Denma Locho Rinpoche. I didn’t have the fortune to meet Him this life but having met Rinpoche is enough to know how great this Lama is.
With this offering may I request for Rinpoche to live long to realize all of Rinpoche’s works in Malaysia and the entire world. I thank Rinpoche for caring for me all these while and also making the bridge to reconnect with Kechara. I am grateful and will do the necessary to make Lama Tsongkhapa’s Lineage grow and expand.
Please may Joshua and myself also request Rinpoche for the permission to sculpt both Kyabje Lati Rinpoche and Kensur Rinpoche’s statues the size of 3 feet to complete Rinpoche’s line of lamas. We will be more than happy to be able to recreate their holy images.
May all of Rinpoche’s prayers come to fruition by my prayer.
With love,
Jay Jae

Amazing artistry – what an incredible likeness of Kensur Rinpoche. It is wonderful the length JJ went to, even to the point of filling the statue with not easily available holy items. What wonderful devotion. Best of all is the simple letter that speaks volumes of both Rinpoche and JJ & Joshua. Thank you for sharing this Rinpoche.
May Rinpoche live long and realize all of Rinpoche’s plans.
My first reaction…WOW! I can see how much dedication both JJ and Joshua have put into making these beautiful statues. Actually felt like crying when I saw the photos of His Eminence Kensur Rinpoche statue. Really, really beautiful. I wish I had the skills to make such a beautiful statue!
I met JJ before and I can tell that he is very sincere and dedicated. JJ also made many Lama Tsongkhapa herbs tsa tsa to give out during Lama Tsongkhapa Day!
An excellent work of art piece and a brilliant offering to one’s guru!!! Such devotion and precious thoughts!!! Speechless!!! Fantastic job, JJ & Joshua
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing such beautiful gifts from JJ and Joshua. The thing that strikes out from seeing these gifts is the sincerity, effort, perseverence, devotion and dedication from both of them.
It also reflects how strong a dharmic imprint that both of them have. What I like also is that they even detailed the whole production process, so we know exactly what holy items are put inside.
Wonderful and I rejoice for both of them!!!
Joshua…beautiful work,amazing ! Thank you Rinpoche.
JJ and Joshua are so amazingly talented and creative. What an artistic pair and a merit making pair. The statue of Kensur Rinpoche is so like him!
从心出发。。。。真正的发心行动战胜一切语言，谢谢JJ 和Joshua。教导我们上了一课。用心和行动跟随上师普渡众生。
Amazing devotion by JJ! He is like an arts department all by himself. The fasting buddha feels really real too oh my.
what amazing devotion and artistry JJ and Joshua have. The sincerity is pure and the time spent in making this offering much be filled with love and devotion for the Guru. I rejoice for JJ, Joshua and Amos.
May Rinpoche live long!
absolutely stunning – the statue itself, as well as the incredible devotion, love and care that JJ and Joshua have invested in this offering. It plants incredible imprints just to see an image like this – so on behalf of all of us who receive these imprints, thank you JJ and Joshua <3
他们非常用心的去制作这份“礼物”。JJ 还去到甘丹寺带回堪殊仁波切的圣骨和骨灰，将其至入圣像里。JJ 和 Joshua 会那么花心思的去制作这些圣像，也希望能通过供养传承上师的像，制造让仁波切长久住世的因。同时可见两人的佛缘非常的深。谢谢你们。
The above crafting and the process of the statue are really beautiful.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing the gift offer by JJ and Joshua to you. Yes they both are very talented young people and they have great skills.
May they always be able to serve you now and many lives to come to spread the Teaching of Lama Tsongkhapa.
WOW!
Wonderful statues, wonderful effort, wonderful care.
The focus and determination to make such wonderful objects is highly commendable and truly inspiring.
And humbling (as far as I am concerned).
Heart warming.
It is really beautiful. JJ and Joshua are definitely very talented and their team behind has been making wonderful holy items sincerely from the heart. It was sincerely offered from the heart for sure, the amount of time and dedication. Look at the details!! And when it’s sincere, it’s precious. Simply beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful! A gift from the heart is the best gift. JJ and Joshua has done such a remarkable job to make Kensur Rinpoche’s statue look so alike and alive! what an artistic and creative pair. I rejoice in their devoted effort in making and offering these amazing gifts to Rinpoche.
Wow. Thank you Rinpoche for sharing all the pictures and the letters from JJ & Joshua which reflected love and devotion. Devotion seems so intangible yet, can be felt through such incredible visuals from these two young men. Very talented young men with deep love for dharma! May their works continue to bless many as it has already. Thank you JJ & Joshua.
Dear Rinpoche,
Thanks for sharing the wonderful news with all the students.
Indeed, both of the Fasting Buddha and HE Kensur Jampa Yeshe statue are done wonderfully.
But what stuck in my mind is not only how beautiful the both statue are but the care from a close student. JJ and Joshua are both working in Singapore, but the actually do not forget where their root is, the the root is the Dharma.
JJ and Joshua are very dedicated for Rinpoche or the Dharma, I’m strongly believe what they are doing now are what they have learned from Rinpoche and they practice it.
They are young and fun, but they can be very “dharma” too.
The sculpture looks so real and alive! The artist is definitely really talented! He used his talent to create for Dharma. A very good gift and inspiration for all of us.
Wow!! Not only are the works of art beautiful, the beauty of the pure motivation and sincerity reflected throughout the process and in the final statues is what really shines out. I can feel the love and purity of the effort put in by both JJ and Joshua. Rejoice!
A caring thought, sincerity, resolve, resourceful, passion and effort culminated in these beautiful images shown here by these two young men.
Lesson learned: Nothing is impossible, never give up.
I really admire both Joshua and JJ’s talent and creativity in art. When i first saw the statues presented by them in KC, i was so stunned. What a wonderful guru devotion and i can feel the sincerity when they make these statues. From scratch to end product, imagine how much time, effort,money and hardwork spent in the production? I’m sure their love to Rinpoche is very deep.
OMB…This is amazing and WOW…………..!!! (this is my reaction )
Beautifully done JJ & Joshua.
