Coin boxes

For those who are not aware, we have embarked on a "Norling Library Education & Maintenance Fund". To build a library is no easy feat and to maintain it is even more challenging. Norling was officially opened in July 2007 and as of last year when I visited, the place definitely needs a new coat of paint, not to mention the replacement broken windows through vandalism and change of weather conditions (expansion and contraction duirng the summer/winter period) and the high electricity bills during the harsh winter months.

We have distributed coin boxes to various homes. Through this exercise we hope to inculcate the values of saving and sharing in the hearts of the young ones as well as all family members.

(Thanks to Sean Sen & Joe Teo for donating 500 coin boxes to Rinpoche)

Thank you, Sam and Family

Thank you, Sam and Family for the return of the two coin boxes. The coins are indeed heavy.

"Even the Smallest Act of Kindness is Wothwhile"

Thanks too to the Sponsors of this coin box.

May all be happy and free from fear, hurt and harm!

All's Well That Ends Well

No words can describe the heartfelt thanks of Minam Rinpoche during his one month stay in Malaysia. Apart from the various pujas he conducted over this period, he had the opportunity of meeting great people, people who are able to see more than what meets the eye.

Malacca

The events kicked off in Malacca on 8 January 2010, the start of my one month “tour”. Four cars travelled from Kuala Lumpur to Malacca for the event. Thanks for the support! On 12 January we journeyed to Johore Bahru where a two night program was held at the Drikung Kagyu Center JB on 16 & 17 January. On 18 January we hit the road back to Kuala Lumpur where the final preparations had to be looked into as the event in KL was relatively on a large scale.

On 24 January YB Senator Heng Seai Kie, Deputy Minister of Information, Communications and Culture graced the Lamp Lighting Ceremony. The night ended with the blessings of a Dzambala Puja.

Petaling Jaya

On 30 January Amitabha Guan Zi Zai Buddhist Society, Klang, invited Rinpoche to confer the Dzambala Empowerment. The turn out was great despite the rain clouds that loomed above, threatening to burst any second.

All’s well that ends well!

La-ma ku-kham sang-war sol-wa deb.
Chog-tu ku-tseh ring-war sol-wa deb.
Thrinley dar-shing gye-par sol-wa deb.
Lama dang drel-wa me-par jyin-gyi lob.

I pray that the Lama may have good health and long life.
I pray that your Dharma activities spread far and wide.
I pray that I may not be separated from you
