Honorary Liaison and past <strong>Kechara</strong> House President, Datin<br />
Ng Wee Chin is one of <strong>Kechara</strong>’s most loved and respected<br />
members for her unwavering dedication to H.E. Tsem Tulku<br />
Rinpoche and passionate, selfless support of <strong>Kechara</strong>.<br />
On pilgrimage in Kathmandu, Nepal with<br />
Rinpoche five years ago.<br />
Honorary Liaison Datin Ng Wee Chin, who is the immediate past president of <strong>Kechara</strong> House<br />
and member of the <strong>Kechara</strong> World Peace Centre (KWPC) Executive Committee, has played<br />
a vital role in the explosive growth of the <strong>Kechara</strong> organisation. Quiet and unassuming, her<br />
elegant demeanour belies her achievement as a busy and successful businesswoman who also<br />
has a full family life yet always finds time for Dharma. It wasn’t always like this.<br />
Datin Ng had considered herself a Buddhist but prior to meeting Rinpoche, she had<br />
little knowledge and understanding about Dharma. She confessed that she was not even<br />
particularly inclined towards spirituality before meeting Rinpoche.<br />
All this changed when she was introduced to Rinpoche by Liaison Henry Ooi and his wife,<br />
Angel, on Wesak Day 2004. When she observed over time how committed <strong>Kechara</strong> members<br />
like Liaison Henry, Liaison Ruby and Angel were, and how they unconditionally supported<br />
Rinpoche’s work, even when they themselves did not have much resources then, Datin Ng<br />
was inspired to help.<br />
Datin making intricate crystal offerings<br />
onto the Buddha statues in Ladrang.<br />
Receiving teachings from Rinpoche in Buddha’s<br />
place of Enlightenment, Bodhgaya.<br />
The Priceless Reward<br />
“I asked myself, if they can, why can’t I? Certainly, Rinpoche had a direct and substantial<br />
impact on me.<br />
“When I learned and understood more about the essential meaning of Dharma, belief and<br />
faith came along naturally. I realised that I shouldn’t waste my life away. Hence, I started to<br />
get more involved in doing Dharma work by putting Dharma methods into practical actions.”<br />
After attending many of Rinpoche’s talks, and finding that the down-to-earth wisdom Rinpoche<br />
shared resonated with her and transformed her life, she committed to support Rinpoche’s<br />
work. Her motivation was that others would gain the benefits that she had received. Thus,<br />
she became one of Rinpoche’s largest and most devoted sponsors. Not one for the limelight,<br />
Datin has always contributed to the organisation quietly and unconditionally. Her priceless<br />
reward has been the Dharma.<br />
She shares, “What I like about Dharma is that if you understand Dharma correctly and act<br />
accordingly, you’ll find much greater satisfaction and meaning in life. More so, it gives the<br />
body and mind a sense of inner peace and calm.<br />
“I support Rinpoche’s Dharma work so that more people can benefit from his teachings as<br />
