It is a place somewhere in Bentong about 6 to 7 KM from the Bentong town, it is about 1and a half hours from Kuala Lumpur. Set not very far away into the Forest Kechara Forest Retreat is the best place to relive stress and at the same time earn some merits. Right now what we are doing is basically building temporarily abodes to house H.E Tsem Tulku Rinpoche as well as his students which are there to help out in whatever way they can. You guys must be wondering how we sleep there..easy H.E Tsem Tulku Rinpoche has spent thousands of dollars on buying cabins and beds etc etc and put them 2 on the left 2 on the right before the entrance so that guests that come from overseas don't have to trouble themselves to find transport and hotels. Or if you are on a Retreat, or just to tired to make the trip home as well as for H.E Tsem Tulku Rinpoche's Students and attendants.
Right now there is a lot of development going on for example we are now in the midst of getting Kechara Village ready as fast as possible, building Rinpoche's area in the Enchanted Forest, building the structure of The Ladrang on top of Ladrang Hill, and also installing lots of drains to take rain water and waste water out safely as well as TNB is still in the midst s of installing more Electric poles so that more electricity can come in!!! We must be really lucky!
