SUMMARY:Ullambana 2025
DESCRIPTION:Protection\, wealth & merits for the 7th Lunar Month.\nBuddha taught that the 7th Month Ullambana Festival is one of the best times to honour your dearly departed\, send blessings to loved ones\, and offer compassion to all suffering beings. This period for honouring ancestors shares many similarities with the Chinese Hungry Ghost Festival\, and is observed by Buddhists from all traditions with offerings of feasts and prayers for the deceased. \nJoin us at the annual Ullambana Festival in Kechara Forest Retreat for special prayers and offerings\, and make the most of the auspicious Ullambana month from August 23 to September 21\, 2025. \nEvent Details\n\n September 6\, 2025 (Sat)\n 10.00 am – 6.00 pm\n Kechara Forest Retreat | Livestream\n\nProgramme\n\n10.00 am – Grand Ullambana Dzambala + Lama Chopa Puja\n3.00 pm – Grand Ullambana Dorje Shugden Trakze Puja\n5.30 pm – Offering Ceremony\n\nThe highlight of the Ullambana Festival is two powerful pujas on September 6 (Saturday) to generate merits and remove obstacles according to the tradition of Gaden Monastery. \n\nThe morning starts with a Grand Ullambana Dzambala + Lama Chopa Puja to attract favourable situations\, generate tremendous merits\, and increase outer and inner wealth.\nIn the afternoon\, there will be a Grand Ullambana Dorje Shugden Trakze Puja to avert obstacles\, protect from unseen beings\, and overcome the most difficult challenges.\n\nThe Origins of Ullambana\nAccording to the Ullambana Sutra\, Maudgalyayana\, one of Buddha Shakyamuni’s chief disciples\, saw with his clairvoyance that his beloved mother had been reborn as a Hungry Ghost (preta) in the lower realms. She had a thin long neck\, a huge belly and was always starving. When he tried to feed her\, the food he offered turned into burning coals as soon as it touched her tiny mouth. \nDistressed\, he sought Buddha’s advice on how best to liberate his mother from her unfortunate state. Buddha advised Maudgalyayana to make extensive offerings to the Sangha on the 15th day of the 7th month\, saying: \n\nYour mother’s offences are deep and firmly rooted. You alone do not have enough power… The awesome spiritual power of the assembled Sangha of the ten directions is necessary for liberation to be attained. \n\n\nThis was the beginning of the Buddhist Ullambana Festival. \nTraditional offerings at the Grand Ullambana Puja to overcome obstacles and attract favourable conditions. \n\n										Ullambana candle and incense offerings at Kechara Forest Retreat\n\n										Memorial tablets dedicated to the dearly departed\, unborn children and karmic debtors.\nUllambana Offerings\nRemove obstacles and send great merits to those gone beyond and to the people who matter in your life.

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\n12 – 14 December 2025 (Fri – Sun)\nKechara Forest Retreat\, Bentong\nRegistration closes Tuesday 9 December\, 2025.\n\n			\n						MORE INFO + BOOKING

SUMMARY:Tsongkhapa Day 2025
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 14 (Sun) with a traditional Lama Chopa Tsog puja in Kechara Forest Retreat\, complete with ritual music and sacred melodies. \nEvent Details\n\n Dec 14\, 2025 (Sun)\n 4.00 pm – 6.00 pm\n Kechara Forest Retreat + Livestream\n\nProgramme\n\n11.00 am Pastor vows renewal ceremony\n4.00 pm Lama Chopa Tsog puja\n5.30 pm Candle lighting ceremony\n6.00 pm Goodbye\n\n		On 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. These 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. \n\n										The 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.
