  CAS's Teacher,
the Dalai Lama, taught the thousands and Whoopi
Goldberg in Washington's West Lawn, in front of Capitol
Hill.
 Then, He was
greeted by the thousands in Australia and He taught
them Dharma, to place them on the path to Buddhahood.
 Not satisfied with
just America and Oceania, the Dalai Lama continued
to Europe to place even more beings on the path
to Buddhahood.
We don't think
His Holiness is lazy.
 The bouquet and accolades
continue to bloom for His Holiness while Phuntsok Cho
Ling ( CAS ) patiently waits ....
 Before we could
finish our third set of Ngondro, Achuk Rinpoche, the
most precious unsurpassable disciple of Lord Buddha,
decided to pass away after showing illness for long
time in order to urge us all to practise hard and
practise fast.
 Then, Most Venerable
Long Gen, President Emeritus of Singapore's Buddhist
Federation, decided to pass away after showing illness
for some time in order to urge us all to practise
hard and practise fast.
He is pictured
here with CAS's Root Teacher, the 100th Ganden Trisur,
in 2000.
They had then requested
each other to live long as, accordingly to each other,
their long lives are apparently so important for
"the Dharma and all beings".
 Last week, CAS's protector,
wish-fulfilling jewel, lord and everything good-under-the-sun, Kyabje
Trulshig Rinpoche, the most precious unsurpassable
disciple of Lord Buddha, decided to pass away after
showing illness for long time in order to urge us all
to practise hard and practise fast.
 Getting the not-subtle-at-all
exhortation of these most precious unsurpassable disciples
of Lord Buddha, we decided to try to practise hard whenever
there are public holidays or even teaching periods in
camden, polys or schools, calling to holy
powerful Green Mother Tara and Her fantastically
miraculous 21 Emanations.
Of course, CASonline
has to hold when we were pretending to do Tara retreats.
 Besides the many
Tara retreats in Kota Tinggi, Jurong West, Bt Timah
and Malacca, in order to support Buddhist Compassion
Relief Tzu Chi ( www.tzuchi.org
), CAS consumes strips of fund raising no-MSG maggi
mees, soups and what not while also consuming the teachings
of Most Venerable Master Cheng Yen.
Her holy pic is
pictured above and a sample of Her holy teachings
are pictured below.
  Tzu Chi is one
of the world's largest welfare organisations and reaches
into the suffering myriads in every continent on planet
earth.
This standing Guan
Yin ( the Chinese equivalent of Chenrezig and / or
Tara ) is found in Tzu Chi ( Malacca ) and also takes
care of CAS.
 Come September,
work begins in earnest in Phuntsok Cho Ling ( CAS -
Melaka ).
 From the outside,
Phuntsok Cho Ling ( CAS - Melaka ) awaits its signboard
and hides the utter chaos inside.
 Lamps were lit,
boundless aspirations were made in Trisur Rinpoche's
room in Singapore.
 Before we could
say "Arrggh !!", Tara appears in the sea of sunflowers
in Phuntsok Cho Ling.
 Before we could
say "Oh Tara .... !!", our resident Teacher's room,
came crashing into existence: the bed bought, table
constructed, chairs begotten, rugs selected, slippers
ready, shelf build, partition-room up, blinds chosen.
 Overnight, the
huge bookshelves came up, carpet spread.
 Our 2 Teachers
manifested in front of Holy Mother on the shrine.
 Gyudmey Khensur
Lobsang Delek's teaching throne were constructed and
the reflection clearly appeared in the centre's
floors !!
 Next, the holy
shrine manifested.
 As per the Dalai
Lama's instructions, Lord Buddha always must take
central position on any Buddhist shrine.
This thangka of
Shakyamuni Buddha was bestowed by the late Khensur
Dorje Tashi to CAS in 1999 in Sera Je just before His
showing of nirvana.
It was surrounded
by the 21 Taras, topped on both ends by the 7 Medicine
Buddhas and Guru Padmasambhava.
CAS's shrine is
complete.
 At night, some
local deities came and sat in front of Lord Buddha,
remembering His unsurpassable kindness to the world
while bb @ CAS crept up silently and snapped this for
you.
 Just as when the
Buddha was here, the Maha Brahma, Kings of so many
Gods and the hordes of gods and yet more glorious gods came
to honour Him, Phuntsok Cho Ling ( CAS ) & so many
of you hurriedly made a ( sad and very ) late
( though not too late ) entry during these degenerate
times, to try to learn His holy Dharma.
 So we abide, joyfully
amongst the tulips, masquerading as cats of different
colours..... trying to cherish others more than ourselves,
trying to follow in the super large footsteps of Shakyamuni:
the Sage of the Shakya people, the Lion of the Shakya
people, the Teacher of gods, men, CAS and all of
you !!
One day .... one
day .... we shall become like Him, bringing the infinite
zillions into the limitless bliss of PErfect Enlightenment.
