On 28th of May
2015, 200 Buddhists, personal friends and supporters paid to attend this fundraising
dinner under the direction of His Eminence Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche. The dinner
was hosted by Mr Lai Voon Hon at the Aloft Sentral Kuala Lumpur which he happens to own. Buddha told me to thank Lai Voon Hon as his place in heaven is assured together with me, Dato Nancy Yeoh and other good Buddhists who attended this fund-raising dinner. Many thanks also to Dato C.Y Lee and Datin Siew Fong.
The fun
filled evening featured delicious food while the highlight was the auction of a used badminton racquet donated by Dato Lee Chong
Wei, Malaysia’s own world ranking badminton icon, thangkas and
antiques that raised close to RM 180,000.
Friends and families who watched the heart-breaking situation in Kathmandu on TV and newspapers were moved to near tears when His Eminence Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche reminded us how lucky we are to live in Malaysia free from earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, cyclones, typhoons and natural disasters.
As auctioneer of the evening, Dato Kee Hua Chee told the audience since we were so blessed by Buddha, Kuan Yin, Jesus, Mother Mary, Siva, Vishnu and Brahma, we should remember the less fortunate and help them in whatever small way.
Nepal is already impoverished under normal circumstances and now that it has been savagely ravaged by earthquakes, its economy is in tatters and may require up to a decade to rebuild everything.
I know a Nepali security guard who works in Kuala Lumpur and after 9 years, managed to build 2 houses in Nepal. Both are now totally destroyed.
In true Malaysian hospitality and
generosity, many guests opened their hearts and wallets and donated generously to the plight of
the Nepalese people especially the children effected by earthquake.
In
attendance were His Eminence Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche, His Excellency Ambassador of Nepal to Malaysia Dr Niranjan MS Basnyat, Mr Lai Voon Hon, Dato Nancy Yeoh (Chairperson), badminton icon Dato
Lee Chong Wei and other distinguished guests who came to support this honorable
cause.
His Excellency the Ambassador of Nepal to Malaysia thanked His Eminence Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche , Wencheng Gongzhu Malaysia and Bhirkuti Himalayan Foundation ( a sister organization in Nepal) for their
swift action and effective response to earthquake victims in Nepal.
The earthquake devastated 8
districts in Nepal and more than 10,000 people OUTSIDE Nepal were affected, including remote areas such as the border between China and Nepal
borders.
Bhirkuti Himalayan Foundation has been distributing tents, tarps, rice and blankets but much more are required. His Excellency
also thanked Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche for donating US $ 50,000 to the Nepali Prime
Minister’s Relief Fund earmarked especially for children affected by this earthquake.
His
Eminence Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche in his speech spoke about his plans to further deliver relief to the most badly affected districts in high Himalayan mountain areas in the
next few months assisted by Nepali youth groups. H.E Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche also plans to invite friends from
around the world to Nepal in an effort to revive the tourism industry which is
one of main sources of income for Nepal.
Many assumed all of Nepal lies in ruins but onoy 18% of the
tourist sites are affected and 82% of Nepal’s tourism areas are
structurally sound and intact like temples, shrines, hiking trails and hotels.
The
evening ended with guests returning home with thangkas and the very special Yonex racquet donated by the ever generous Dato Lee Chong Wei which Dato Kee Hua Chee sold for RM 6,000.
H.E. Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche also invited all guests to attend a public 49th day Puja for the victims of the earthquake
at Shyalpa Monastery and Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu when our funds would be
distributed in Nepal. The international media and representatives
from various countries will be there to witness as Prime Minister and Culture
and Tourism Minister will attend.
