Today I went for my follow up medical tests, check up and prognosis. Overall everything came out to be pretty ok. I still need to take care of my fatty liver which can lead to it’s hardening and cancer. So I have more medication and new health routine from my caring doctor today. Henry, Ethan and Seng Piow as usual has made my medical trip easy and pleasant and I do appreciate their very kind assistance very much. I will take care of my health.

Simple. And I will. Tsem Rinpoche

He makes sure I take all my medication on time with pure heart, perfect timing & reminders. Even when Seng Piow goes out to do things, he’ll text message me at the right times to take my medications. I look back & feel very fortunate to have such great students/friends and one of them is Seng Piow who has PURE HEART AND PURE THOUGHTS to always help & assist me/my health. I don’t deserve such devotion, care & love from people. But I attribute it to not me being great but...

After receiving a recommendation for Bikram Yoga from a student of Gehlek Rinpoche, Rinpoche is considering yoga or pilates as one of the options to stay healthy and fit. If you know of any highly recommended instructors for either of the above, please contact Beng Kooi at bengkooi@tsemladrang.com.

Rinpoche has since returned to Malaysia after the series of medical tests in Singapore. Rinpoche is continuing treatment with Dr Jiang for his tailbone. Rinpoche is also undergoing a strict nutritional program to improve his health and general well being. Rinpoche will return to Singapore in 3 months time to consult the gastroenterologist, liver specialist and orthopedic specialist in Gleneagles Hospital as advised.
