Kechara Media and Publications Sdn Bhd (KMP) is a publishing house based in Malaysia under the spiritual direction of His Eminence Tsem Rinpoche, a Tibetan Lama from the illustrious 600-year-old Gaden Monastic University. First established in 2005 by a group of young and dedicated students, KMP’s vision is to bring the ancient wisdom of Buddhist teachings into the context of contemporary living.

KMP caters to diverse market segments with a variety of products which are universally appealing. Starting with the first English title Why I Make Myself Unhappy, published in 2005, KMP has since produced a wide range of English and Chinese books, DVDs and box sets by H.E. Tsem Rinpoche and selected authors.

Our brand of modern spirituality encourages the pursuit of a spiritual path without having to compromise one’s lifestyle or religious and cultural background. It empowers individuals to achieve inner peace and personal development through easily applicable principles for daily practice. H.E. Tsem Rinpoche’s unique approach brings the Buddha’s ancient wisdom to our very doorsteps.
