SUMMARY:Death & Dying: A Meditation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Live your best life\, die a good death\nDeath is a universal meditation topic and a teaching that exists within all Buddhist traditions.

Our sangha and senior pastors will introduce you to the Buddhist forms of death meditation and guide you through experiential exercises designed to transform your perspective of life and death. Whether you’re new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner\, this workshop is for you. \nEvent Details\n\n22 – 23 Nov 2025 (Sat – Sun)\nKechara Forest Retreat\, Bentong\nRegistration closes Wednesday 19 November\, 2025\n\n			\n						MORE INFO + BOOKING

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

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.
