SUMMARY:Tsongkhapa Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Light the light of wisdom with candle offerings to the Second Buddha.\nTsongkhapa Day or Ganden Ngamchoe commemorates the enlightenment and parinirvana of Lama Tsongkhapa\, the 14th-century Buddhist scholar and saint who founded the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism. Also known as the Butter Lamp Festival\, it falls on the 25th day of the 10th Tibetan month. \nAs merits accumulated on this auspicious day are multiplied 100\,000 times\, devotees typically make extensive offerings and engage in Guru puja practices. Furthermore\, gathering in prayer together strengthens the quality of our spiritual practice and brings us the blessings of the lineage masters to remain steadfast on the path to enlightenment. \nCelebrate Tsongkhapa Day on December 7 (Thursday) with an evening of prayer and fellowship in Kechara Forest Retreat. The highlight of the event is a traditional Lama Chopa Tsog puja complete with ritual music and sacred melodies. This will be followed by Tsem Rinpoche’s Swift Return puja. \nEvent Details\n\nDec 7\, 2023 (Thu)\n6.30 pm – 10.00 pm\nKechara Forest Retreat + Livestream\n\nProgramme\n\n6.30 pm Lama Chopa Tsog puja\n8.15 pm Tsem Rinpoche’s swift return puja\n9.30 pm Candle lighting ceremony\n10.00 pm Goodbye\n\nOn this auspicious day\, our sangha and pastors will be renewing their pastorship vows. You’re welcome to witness the vow renewal ceremony which will be held in Wisdom Hall\, Kechara Forest Retreat at 11.00 am. \nWho is Lama Tsongkhapa?\nLama Tsongkhapa (1357-1419)\, the patron saint of the Gelug lineage\, is widely known for his scholarly prowess\, unwavering guru devotion and great deeds. Some of the most well-known include the founding of the Three Pillars of the Gelugpa tradition — Gaden\, Sera and Drepung Monasteries\, establishing the Great Prayer Festival (Monlam Chenmo) in 1409\, and composing the Lamrim Chenmo — The Great Exposition of the Stages of the Path. \nKnown as the Second Buddha of our fortunate time\, this great saint led a life of the highest ethics\, held his vows perfectly and was instrumental in the revival of Buddha’s teachings that were deteriorating during that period of time. \nAt the age of 63\, Lama Tsongkhapa entered into Samadhi meditation\, made extensive inner offerings and then stopped his breath. Many witnessed his body transform to that of a 16-year-old\, with rainbow lights emitting from it. These signs are all hallmarks of an extraordinary being’s parinirvana. \nThe stunning Lama Tsongkhapa shrine at Kechara Forest Retreat\nTsongkhapa Day Offerings\nMake abundant light offerings to the holy statue of Lama Tsongkhapa in ‘long life form’ at Kechara Forest Retreat.

SUMMARY:Tsongkhapa Retreat
DESCRIPTION:3D2N mantra retreat for wisdom\, blessings & purification\nThe Tsongkhapa retreat is based on the Guru Yoga of Lama Tsongkhapa and focuses on the recitation of his sacred Migtsema mantra. It includes meditative practices to invoke Lama Tsongkhapa’s enlightened qualities to accumulate a tremendous amount of merits and purify vast amounts of negative karma. \nH.E. Tsem Rinpoche shared this advice for everyone: \n\nDo Tsongkhapa retreat at least once a year to increase your wisdom (seven types of wisdoms)\, purify your karma and all kinds of negative thoughts and obstacles. Thoughts like ‘I don’t wanna do Dharma. I can’t do Dharma work. I feel lazy. I cannot make it.’ It will all go away\nThus\, this retreat is extremely effective for anyone who wants to purify obstacles\, focus on deeper practice\, and make progress on their spiritual journey. \nTsongkhapa retreat helps us increase our wisdom so we can gain deeper insights into the Dharma we have learnt\, thereby transforming our minds. We will also lessen our anger\, depression and overcome various inner and outer obstacles that obstruct our spiritual journey and daily lives. By engaging in this retreat\, we are also fulfilling Rinpoche’s instructions\, thereby creating the causes for us to reconnect with Rinpoche’s incarnation and for the Dharma to flourish in Kechara Forest Retreat. \nLed by our experienced Buddhist pastors\, this 3D2N Tsongkhapa Retreat is suitable for all who are new to mantra retreats as well as experienced retreatants who may be too busy to prepare all the necessary offerings and materials. \n\nLama Tsongkhapa retreats every three months consistently will heal the mind of pain and emotional scars. One should engage in retreats always.– Tsem Rinpoche –\nEvent Details\n\n8 – 10 December 2023 (Fri – Sun)\nKechara Forest Retreat\, Bentong\nRegistration closes Tuesday 5 December\, 2023\n\n\nMORE INFO + BOOKING

SUMMARY:Trakpo Sumtril Retreat
DESCRIPTION:3D2N mantra retreat for healing\, protection & long life\nThis retreat is based on the practice of Trakpo Sumtril which combines the deities Vajrapani\, Hayagriva and King Garuda into a concise and highly effective practice. It includes meditations to invoke the blessings of these three wrathful deities for healing\, protection and especially to extend life. \nEach deity represent a different facet of enlightened energy that we can tap into through prayer\, mantra and meditation: \n\nVajrapani purifies and blesses our mind\, and pacifies harm from astrological inauspiciousness and spirits above the earth.\nHayagriva purifies and blesses our speech\, and pacifies harm from interfering spirits on the earth.\nKing Garuda purifies and blesses our body\, and pacifies harm from nagas and earth spirits that reside underground.\n\nTrakpo Sumtril retreat is helpful for anyone suffering from cancer\, heart conditions\, epileptic fits\, and diseases caused by nagas and other supernatural entities. It holds and stabilises life force so that we have more time to engage in spiritual practice. \nThis retreat also grants powerful protection from harm caused by nagas\, land deities and supernatural beings\, and averts obstacles arising from negative karma. \nOn a spiritual level\, it increases our affinity with the tantras in general\, blesses our mind\, and increases the stability of our Dharma practice\, especially if we lack confidence. \nLed by our experienced Sangha and Buddhist pastors\, this 3D2N Trakpo Sumtril retreat is suitable for anyone who is new to mantra retreats as well as experienced retreatants who may be too busy to prepare all the necessary offerings and materials. \nIn particular\, it is highly recommended for people who have received the Trakpo Sumtril initiation as it will deepen your practice and help you gain quicker results. \nEvent Details\n\n26 – 28 April 2024 (Fri – Sun)\nKechara Forest Retreat\, Bentong\nRegistration closes Tuesday 23 April\, 2024\n\n			\n						MORE INFO + BOOKING

SUMMARY:Wesak Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Make 100\,000x merits on Buddha’s birthday\nWesak is the most important day of the year for Buddhists everywhere. It’s so significant because this day commemorates three momentous events in Buddha’s life — his birth\, enlightenment and parinirvana. \nIn the Tibetan tradition\, Wesak is synonymous with the 4th lunar month of Saga Dawa. Tibetan Buddhists believe that merits are multiplied in general throughout the month\, and on the 15th day known as Saga Dawa Düchen or Wesak\, the merits of our actions are hugely increased by 100\,000 times! \nThat’s why Saga Dawa is also known as the Month of Merits\, and it is a time when Tibetan Buddhists make extra efforts to practice more generosity\, virtue\, compassion\, better temperament\, and conduct\, in order to accumulate greater merit. So join us on Wesak for a full day of virtuous deeds and make 100\,000x merits with the whole family. \n\n										Saving lives through animal liberation is a virtuous way to start Wesak Day.\nEvent Details\n\n May 22\, 2024 (Wed)\n 8.30 am – 5.30 pm\n Kechara Forest Retreat\n\nHighlights\n		Special Wesak prayers | Buddha bathing | Sangha blessings | Car blessings | Animal liberation | Holy walk | Wesak offerings | Vegetarian vows | Refuge ceremony | Children’s activities | Children’s baptism | Wesak bazaar | Vegetarian food fair | Blood donation & more!		 \nProgramme\n\n8.30 am Refuge Ceremony*\n9.00 am Animal Liberation\n10.00 am Wesak Lama Chopa Puja\n11.45 am Lunch\n1.00 pm Vegetarian Vows Ceremony **\n2.30 pm Children’s Baptism *\n3.30 pm Wesak Manjushri + Dorje Shugden Puja\n5.00 pm Car Blessing **\n5.30 pm Goodbye\n\n*RSVP required.**RSVP recommended.  \n\n\nTo take refuge: \n\nWatch this video then register here.\nFee: FOC\nRegistration closes: May 17 (Fri)\, 5.00 pm.\n\n\n\nTo register a child for Buddhist Baptism: \n\nWatch this video then register here.\nFee: RM80 (members)\, RM100 (non -members)\nFee includes children’s prayer book\, baptism certificate\, flower offerings\, pastor service.\nRegistration closes: May 19 (Sun)\, 5.00 pm.\n\n\n\nTo take vegetarian vows: \n\nWatch this video then register here.\nDownload the prayers in advance if you are joining the ceremony online.\nFee: FOC\nRegistration closes: May 21 (Tue)\, 5.00 pm.\n\n\n\nTo have your car blessed: \n\nWatch this video then register here.\nFee: Free (members)\, RM68 (non-members)\nFee includes Dorje Shugden car sticker\, blessed khata\, pastor service.\nRegistration closes: May 21 (Tue)\, 5.00 pm.\n\n\n\n\n										One of the highlights of Wesak is the children’s baptism ceremony.\nTake the Eight Precepts for Wesak\nOur pastors will be giving the Eight Mahayana Precepts vows the night before Wesak.

SUMMARY:Manjushri Kids Retreat
DESCRIPTION:3D2N children’s retreat to cultivate mindfulness\, intelligence & good qualities\nThe Manjushri kids retreat is a special opportunity for parents to connect their children with the divine and plant mental seeds to become a good adult. \n\nWe need to instil something deeper in our children while they are young. So that when they are adults\, they will have the tools to deal with all the non-stop challenges that life brings them.– Tsem Rinpoche –\nThis kids retreat is based on the condensed practice of Orange Manjushri and focuses on chanting his wisdom mantra. Daily retreat activities are a combination of practice\, crafts and mindful play in a beautiful\, natural environment. \nChildren will gain hands-on experience in setting up an altar and making offerings\, learn basic Buddhist practices such as prostration and circumambulation\, participate in informal meditation sessions\, and receive age-appropriate Dharma teachings. \nIt is also an opportunity for children to bond with Dharma friends from different backgrounds\, learn how to work with their peers\, and be independent in a safe and supportive environment. All activities are facilitated and supervised by our experienced Dharma school teachers. \nOpen to all children aged 7 – 17. Prior retreat experience is not required. \nBenefits for Children\nManjushri’s retreat develops young minds\, improves memory\, increases creativity\, and enhances learning and understanding. This leads to better academic results\, improves their future career prospects and helps them reach their fullest potential in adulthood. \nChildren will also derive long term benefits from participating in this retreat — they will be blessed with the seeds of wisdom\, compassion\, kindness\, insight\, understanding of Dharma\, and ultimately get one step closer to developing Manjushri’s enlightened qualities. \nEvent Details\n\n26 – 28 May 2024 (Sun – Tue)\nKechara Forest Retreat\, Bentong\nRegistration closes Wednesday 22 May\, 2024\n\n\nMORE INFO + BOOKING
