Good friends

Working with Rinpoche puts me in contact with many characters who are good friends.

I love you with all my hearts

This appeared on my desk one day because Rinpoche knows I have a good relationship with my mum. I liked the use of the plural “hearts” (as opposed to the singular).

A prayer for Ah Ma

The night after my grandmother died, Rinpoche flew in to Penang to perform her last rites. After that, Rinpoche spent hours talking to every single one of us to make sure we understood she had taken a good rebirth. My nan was one of the warmest, kindest, most patient people I’ve ever known. She wrote […]

A bed for Nana

Rinpoche got this bed for Gizmo baby, along with other personalised stuff for our other mumus. See how comfortably Nana sleeps…thank you Rinpoche for giving that to him and to think Nana was only 3 days away from being put down when Elisa rescued him. It’s because of people like Rinpoche and Elisa that other […]

Vajrayogini texts

Rinpoche gave me the privilege of compiling texts for a ‎Vajrayogini ‎retreat for future use. Me, a nobody from ‎Kuala Lumpur, gets to compile these texts for people to use to gain ‎attainments…free merits for meeeee!

Birkies

Rinpoche was recently in HK (visit http://www.tsemrinpoche.com/ to hear more about the trip). In between Rinpoche’s non-stop meetings, Rinpoche still found a gift for stupid me, and got me this pair of Birkies…and of course, they fit perfectly! Thank you Rinpoche!

Kensur Rinpoche and the opportunity to paint

Without Rinpoche starting Kechara Saraswati Arts so many years ago, artistically challenged people like myself would never have had the opportunity to paint Buddha statues, and express spirituality through offering gold on to them…and yes, this is who we were carrying up from KLIA yesterday!

Mad puja skillz

Rinpoche often has us conduct our own pujas to bless our land. Rinpoche says as long as we have good samaya and we follow the pujas as per the scriptures, why can’t we conduct our own blessings? We are just as capable of these pujas as our monastic friends are.

No but yeah no but yeah

A fun gift from Rinpoche – “no but yeah but no but yeah”…a talking Vicky doll, always ready to provide me with a good chuckle (and a reminder of why chavs bother me!)

Time

This is Rinpoche‘s level of care – we were moving into our new house, and Rinpoche wanted to make sure we had everything we needed, including clocks and batteries for the clocks!
