Subject: [CASonline] Oh CAS !! ( pre-quel ) |
![]() ![]() The
above Being gave up His lives countless
times for us. He toiled in the six
bodhisattva perfections so that
He could be imbued with infinite
powers and miracles, supreme love
and supreme wisdom so that He could save
us all from the infinite perils
of samsara !!
He
succeeded and now we call Him Sage
of the Shakya People (
Shakyamuni ).
Most
of the time, we just call Him Lord
Buddha, THE Enlighten One !!
![]() CAS
TRULY met Shakyamuni through the
100th Ganden Trisur. He is THAT
prophesied earthly-coming-back
of Je Tsongkhapa and sat on
Je Tsongkhapa's throne as the supreme
head of the Gelugpa people. He is unfailingly
compassionate, uncompromisingly learned,
awfully humble and completely ego-less yet
quietly dignified.
![]() The
Drikung Kyabgon told us via Khenpo
Rangdrol that an education center
would bring great good.
So
CAS's Camden Education Center (
www.camden.edu.sg
) came up and is going into
its 5th year. We screamed, drilled,
pawed and guffawed with all
our darling students. We made
tea and drank with them and
when they leave, they sometimes
drew funny pictures of us ( and
themselves ) on the white board.
![]() The enlightened
Bodhisattva, Garchen Rinpoche, said
that we would have a Dharma centre
"within 6 months" and we had one
3 months later when our precious
benefactors, Mr and Mrs Tey Lian
Seng gave us a 2 storeyed shophouse
in Malacca, Malaysia.
Garchen
Rinpoche also said that the centre
would benefit if we rely on Tara.
We rely on Tara and the centre now
benefits .... we hope !!
![]() Water,
bed, pots, pans, pails, application,
application, application, application
( AGAIN !! ) tiling, clothes
hangers .... everything needed in
a BRAND NEW dharma centre !!
Also,
a great Teacher ... but which translator
?? Attendant who can cook for
Teacher and who is scrupulous.
CAS
becomes like this.
![]() Meanwhile,
"Popo Lama"'s MO said CAS will benefit
if we go Laos. So, we flew there
with thousands and thousands of
Panadols, pens, pencils, notebooks,
flu medicine, cash and yet more
cash, cough syrups packed tight
in ( very, very ) fat luggages.
Laos
loves the Doraemons from CAS. CAS
loves Laos.
Mekong
swallows up a few hundred kilos
of fishes meant for the human stomach
too.
![]() Blessed
Laos resonated with a thousand blessings
from Shakyamuni's sons as the sun
slowly descended into romantic but
muddy Mekong.
![]() CAS's
beings had not forgotten to tag
along their improvised incense holder,
previously a pencil case.
Luang
Prabang's haunted guesthouse hosted
also Tara and other such Buddhas.
![]() Suddenly,
Crystal offered a cat which needed
a home. Lucky ( previously named
"Harry" ) lived happily with a being
@ CAS until it disappeared one night.
![]() A
few weeks later, Zippy came running
into Trisur Rinpoche's house. It
was adopted and was scrubbed clean.
Next day, its frenzied owner re-claimed
baby Zippy.
Hey
hey ... we have already droned Namgyalma,
Medicine Buddha and Tara into its
8th consciousness, the "Alaya".
Now, it should be going somewhere
nicer than a doggie's realm.
![]() The
incomparable Kyabje Trulshig, official
head of Guru Padmasambhava's tradition,
replied and christened CAS's first
Malaysian centre "Phuntsok Cho Ling"
- the "Perfection of Qualities Dharma
Centre". In Chinese, it is "Yuan
Man Fa Ling".
In
Your honour, we shall do our work
for the Dharma and beings !!
![]() State
Assemblyman, the noble Mr Khoo Poay
Tiong from Malacca, was invoked
into the Malaysian registry,
here pictured with CAS Benefactor
and Secretary, in serious talk.
2
months later, we were "approved".
CAS
reached Malaysian.
![]() After
that, Chinese exchange students
were brought to Universal Studios
and we ate under T-Rex's tails in
the Lost World.
![]() Emanation
of one of 25 chief disciples of
Guru Padma, the Drikung Ontrul Rinpoche,
came to CAS.
Red
Zambala with divine consort Kurukulle's
torma kept growing grains, one year
from when Drikung Ontrul left.
Surely,
this will be auspicious and prosperous
for everyone in CAS !!
![]() Autumn
came.
Phuntsok
Cho Ling ( CAS - Melaka ) waits
for Gyudmey Khensur, translator,
attendant and one more attendant.
Renovation,
tiling, toilet, partitions, shrines,
throne all meticulously done.
We
wait while teaching day and night
in camden, polys, schools ....
