Learning The Dharma

These days those who aren’t born into Dharma environment seem to arrive at the Dharma from many different directions. Some are forced to enter dharma after an overwhelming experience shatters their world. Others arrive more gently, perhaps through disillusionment with the shallowness of contemporary culture. Encountering the dharma, they find meaning and purpose. Others come because they are wounded, whether by love or hatred or just by the bitter of loneliness. In dharma they discover an alleviation of suffering. Then there are those who come looking for answers—answers they couldn’t get from science or philosophy.

For them all, Singha Rinpoche’s teaching speaks compellingly of a shift in view/approach, unveiling of truth and a practice deeply embed in one’s daily life experience.

Suitable Vessel Of Dharma

What are the qualification of a proper student? The great Indian master Aryadevasaid, in the 400 Verses, that a suitable vessel for Dharma teaching is someone who is non-partisan or unbiased, intelligent and diligent. Being non-partisan means that the student should not be biased, for e.g., thinking one’s view is more superior. The student should also be intelligent, in having the ability and wisdom to examine the teachings, accepting them if they are true, rejecting them if they are not. In addition, the student should also be diligent in seeking out, attending and listening to teachings.

Experiential Buddhism

Learning the dharma from a qualified teacher is very precious. Singha Rinpoche is bilingual and able to teach us the teachings of Dharma in terms and context very close to our heart and our daily lives. Let’s treasure this precious sharing of nectar from Singha Rinpoche

Experience the Dharma and Experience Your Life,
For Your Life is The Very Dharma, And Dharma is Meant for Your Life.

Sacred Mirror

The Sacred Mirror represents consciousness and the element of space. Clear, pure and bright, the mirror reflects all phenomena objectively without bias, thereby reminding us to practice objectivity and to rise above our judgmental minds. On a more subtle level, it reflects the Buddha’s core teaching of emptiness – that nothing exists on its own side without a dependent arising cause.

Pinnacle of the mirror

The pinnacle of the mirror, formed by the white crescent moon, flaming red sun and an orange flame of fire, represents the completion stage of Vajrayana practice.

Light Rays

The light rays radiating from the Sacred Mirror represent the flourishing of the Buddha’s teachings, fanning out to the furthest reaches of the universe.

Full Moon Disc

The moon disc represents Bodhicitta, the aspiration to become a Buddha to benefit all sentient beings.

Blue Lotus

Divinely fragrant, blue lotuses bloomed only in the Buddha’s time. By incorporating it into the temple’s logo, it is symbolic of the ever-present Buddha in Thekchen Choling. Moreover, a lotus flower represents purity, perfection, compassion and renunciation, similar to how the beautiful lotus remains untainted even though it had arisen out from the muddy waters.

Nine Precious Jewels

These nine precious jewels represent the Guru, Buddha, Dharma, Sangha, yidam or mind-seal deity, Dharma protector, the sky, earth, and the human realm.

Two Dragons

The two dragons represent continuity and harmony and create the cause for the temple to enjoy the strong support of members and benefactors for Dharma to flourish.

Golden Khata

The flowing golden khata represents the auspicious increase of all Dharma activities.
