(Taken with my iPhone) I have so many different thoughts going through my mind at the moment, most of them unfinished and not fully formed… You see, originally I was going to write about my likes and dislikes. I had just been given an incredible image of Yamantaka from Rinpoche and realised of all the […]

(From a text) The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek, There’s nobody here, it’s just you and me, It’s where I want to be – Chris de Burgh Do you think he was singing about Vajrayogini? Hehehe

Ever wondered where the money that people offer to Rinpoche goes to? Back into Kechara, and back into Kecharians. All 100% of it. And when I say Kecharians, I don’t just mean it in the monetary sense. In the picture above, Tham (the contractor we use for 90% of our renovation works in Kechara) and […]

(Taken on my BlackBerry, edited on my iPhone) There are so many things about this photo that bring back good memories. It was taken in Kechara House 2, which we were so proud to open after years of having just Kechara House 1. It was taken during Manjushri Kids’ Class, one of the many ways […]

(Taken on Chris’ iPhone) I’m sharing here a photo I did not take, but it is a photo that has got me thinking about a great many things. Here’s its context – earlier this afternoon, I posted a picture of myself which had been taken during the greeting cards photo shoot. James saw it and […]

Grew up with loving parents, Malaysian family, went to a great school and an equally great university. Graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, worked in the criminal justice […]

(Taken with my iPhone) Every month, the liaisons of Kechara have a monthly Liaisons Council meeting in the Ladrang. During this meeting, the liaisons (and invited guests!) will discuss both secular and spiritual issues pertaining to the growth of Kechara. It is during these meetings that the important decisions about the organisation are made. Therefore […]

(Taken with my iPhone) Monday was another one of those days – all planned out and supposed to be restful, but suddenly transforming into a whirlwind of activity. It began averagely enough. I woke up, came in to e-Division and plopped myself down at my desk, ready to work. Lionel’s been chasing me for VajraSecrets […]

(Taken with my iPhone) They say that experience is a tough teacher – it gives you the test first and the lesson later, and that has certainly been the case for us down at Amcorp Mall for the last ten weeks. Every Saturday and Sunday, a group of us wake up early (try 7am!) and […]
