Thekchen Choling
The temple was started in accordance with the instructions of Geshe Lama Konchog of Kopan Monastery, with whom Singha Rinpoche studied in the late-1980s and early 1990s.Geshe Lama Konchog also entrusted him with the task of setting up a Tibetan temple with the mission to change the existing mindset that one needs to be a monk or nun to practice Buddhism.In 1989, at the age of fifteen, a Buddhist master appeared in Rinpoche's dreams and instructed him to fulfill the vows of his previous life which was to teach those who did not have teachers.The temple was granted permission by the Office of the 14th Dalai Lama to publish thirteen of his books in simplified Mandarin for free distribution.[13][14][15][16]The Annual Vesak Celebrations at Thekchen Choling, a Buddhist temple, are events commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and passing of the Buddha.[22] With the vision of "Connecting All with Divine Hearts", Thekchen Choling hopes to complement the spiritual healing of the temple with a focus on giving aid to those in need.After numerous location searches of three months since June 2012, we found Melaka to be suitable and ripe for us to start our first overseas centre.Thekchen Choling (Malaysia) was officially approved by the Malaysian Federal Government on 15 October 2012 as a society to operate Buddhist temples.Thus begins the chapter of Thekchen Choling (Malaysia) Melaka Centre, operating on a rented premise at 8 and 8A, Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho.Specially commissioned by Namdrol Rinpoche, this magnificent statue of 1000-Armed Chenrezig stands at 36 feet tall and is beautifully adorned with pearls, corals, turquoises and dzi-beads.
