Welcome to Geshe Tenzin Zopa's blog new outlook!
We took advantage of this opportunity when Geshe Zopa went for a retreat to get this job done. Through this blog, all friends and students of his can still be kept informed of the on-goings into the world where Geshe Zopa live in. Just because we are oceans apart doesn't mean one can't stay connected with another.
With our little management expertise, we look forward to serving Geshe Zopa with full love and devotion so that he can continue to benefit more sentient beings with his practices. We hope you will enjoy this blog as much as we enjoyed working on it.
With lots of love,
Administrator Team

Video on Phuntsok Rinpoche
This video was shot by Phuntsok Rinpoche’s personal guardian and manager, Ven Lhundup sometime in April 2008 to update me on his progress. I found it extremely refreshing, entertaining and interesting and I am sure all who love Phuntsok Rinpoche would want to see this video. The video was shot candidly without any editing or subtitle, in order to give all of you to see what he is doing. You will also be happy to know that he has started his language study. I have decided to share this wonderful video clip with all you readers and I hope you will enjoy it.
[This video footage was given to us approximately 2 months ago for uploading but due to incompatibility in format, it took us a while to convert from dvd to mpeg.
We apologize for the delay and we hope you enjoy them as we did. ]

Happy Birthday To Our Most Beloved Geshe Tenzin Zopa
The wonderful thing about this type of celebration is the way all members jointly work together to organize the event. Everyone chip in with their contribution of food - pot luck style and arranged many sumptuous and delicious dishes ranging from Indian to Chinese cuisine. We also had a chance to chill out and stay cool with thirst quenching cocktail drinks. And for all the cake lovers, check out all the beautiful, divine and sinful rich cakes offered by members and friends from both Malaysia and Singapore. I bet you will fall in love with the food photos in the blog. It was truly a sign of real abundance of food offering. Rejoice! There were so much food and cakes that we all continue to indulge for the next few days (yummy).
As usual ... our extremely shy Geshe Zopa had to be invited several times to take his stand for the cake cutting. His message was to offer all these beautiful cakes and offerings to all the gurus and buddhas and this birthday is also for everyone. All the beautiful decorations are to be visualised as jewels in the mandala for offering. Om Ah Hum, Om Ah Hum, Om Ah Hum... Rejoice!! After all the satisfying meal we ended the evening with a guided meditation on Om Mani Padme Hum led by GZ followed by extensive light and flower offering.
These pictures were taken during the celebration in LDC.
Some of us have also organised a little outing with GZ in advance to celebrate his birthday last month. Perhaps we can say that we anticipated him to be away to Penang, Singapore and Nepal for quite a while and we surely didn’t want to miss spending this special and wonderful day with him. Kiasu lar! Again due to GZ’s merits, he had 2 great looking (and again sinful) birthday cakes. Infact, we wanted to do it different so we requested Siok Hong of Celicakes to bake us cupcakes with GZ’s name and arranged in heart shape. It was very delicious indeed.
“To the world you might be one person... but to us you are the world. Happy Birthday Dearest Geshe Tenzin Zopa”
May you continue to live a long and healthy life filled with peace, love and harmony and may all your spiritual and mundane wishes be instantly fulfilled.
These are some pictures taken during our wonderful luncheon.
