Liaison of Kechara House

Due to some differences in views, in January 2006 I left the Dharma centre which my husband Ngeow and I founded four years ago. At the beginning we thought we could continue our spiritual practice on our own together with a few like-minded Dharma friends. However after some time, we lost focus in our practice and were in danger of slipping back to the worldly ‘temptations’.

We decided to look for a Dharma centre from the same lineage and found Kechara. I can still remember the first audience I had with Rinpoche at a private teaching on a stormy night. We were late for the teachings as we were stuck in a traffic jam. Feeling very anxious in the car, we received a call from Rinpoche’s assistant telling us not to hurry because Rinpoche understood our situation and asked us to drive safely. I was very touched by Rinpoche’s understanding and care for somebody he had not even met!

The rest, as they say, is history.

My challenge is to bring Kechara House to the level where the centre/temple is like an emergency ward ready to serve anyone to the best of our abilities.
