Serious SG Special Forces soldier becomes a monk

[mojito]

Thanks for providing yet another piece of evidence pointing to this "monk"'s intense narcissism.

I bet he looks lustfully at his own photo, and not that of Ginfreely like many do, when he masturbates.

No such thing as a good regular. Never proven wrong!

both of them do not exist anymore
there is no drachom
there is no cheong
all is emptiness ….

Emptiness is Form - Form is Emptiness

As a Special Forces soldier, he stormed a hijacked Singapore Airlines plane. Now he's a monk
03 Mar 2019 06:14AM
Singapore
SINGAPORE: Fred Cheong, 55, has done a lot more than the average person across two starkly different lives.

The Special Forces commando graduated from the excruciating US Navy SEAL course, stormed a hijacked Singapore Airlines plane, and moulded multiple batches of officer cadets into soldiers.

After leaving the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), Cheong became a Buddhist monk. Since then he has lived simply in a monastery, meditated on snow-capped mountains deep in the Himalayas, and led dharma retreats all over the world.

This is why Cheong prefers to be known as the Venerable Tenzin Drachom, a name given by the Dalai Lama and an acknowledgment of his 32-year military career.
“In Tibetan ‘dra’ means delusion, ‘chom’ means destroyer,” he told Channel NewsAsia at his temple-like maisonette in Pasir Ris. “In the military, I destroyed the enemy outside. Now I destroy the enemy inside.”
But as a young, scrawny boy, Drachom never had ambitions of joining the military. Or any strong ambitions, for that matter. “I was not very strong, I couldn’t even swim,” he said. “Maybe I was thinking I wanted to be an air steward.”

In December 1982, the 18-year-old enlisted for National Service and eventually signed on as an officer cadet, after seeing his bunkmates do the same. “Might as well,” he mused. “I thought (joining) the military could not be wrong.”

HIJACK OF SQ117
Mar 26, 1991 was a day the military could not afford to get wrong.
Singapore Airlines flight SQ117 bound for Singapore was hijacked by four male Pakistani passengers shortly after it took off from Kuala Lumpur.

The plane, carrying 114 passengers and 11 crew, landed at Changi Airport at about 10.30pm. The hijackers, armed with knives, lighters and what looked like explosives, assaulted the pilot, attendants and passengers. Two stewards were pushed off the plane.
The hijackers, who wanted the plane refuelled and flown to Sydney, made their demands: To speak to former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and have the authorities release a number of people jailed in Pakistan.
After negotiations spilled into the wee hours of the next morning, the hijackers lost patience and threatened to start killing if their demands were not met.

SQ117 sits on the tarmac after the rescue operation.

It was then that authorities gave the signal: Special Operations Force (SOF) commandos were ordered to storm the plane and rescue the hostages. Drachom, by then a seasoned SOF trooper, was part of the team.
“When the time came, it was ‘just do it’,” he said. “There was no mental thought of will I go, will I not go or I’ll call my girlfriend. No bulls***.”

From their training, the commandos knew the interior layout of various aircraft types like the back of their hands. Under the cover of darkness, they approached the Airbus A310.
The adrenaline was pumping, but Drachom treated the operation like “just another drill”.
“You’ve trained your mind to operate under duress,” he said, taking a deep breath. “It was really surgical ... so we just have to be very clear, shoot very straight, and let’s do it.”
At about 6.50am the commandos stormed the plane, shouted for passengers to get down and shot all four hijackers dead. The operation lasted just 30 seconds.

The years of training prepared the commandos well, but did it also prepare them to take lives?
“We were really quite clear when we went inside there; we knew exactly what to do,” Drachom replied. “You cannot go there and start to think. We go there and do what we train for because there will be that trade-off.”
Drachom stressed that “there wasn’t any ego” from each member of the team. “You were just there to do the job,” he added. “Nothing more.”

When the commandos returned to base, Drachom said nobody there knew how the operation had unfolded. But soon enough, elite forces from around the world wanted to visit, curious about how they had executed the mission so successfully.

The operation, Drachom noted, had elevated the young Army’s reputation in the eyes of the world.
“Only after the whole thing, we realised that we had rallied and pulled through together as a team,” he added. “What kept us going was a good training system; our due faith in every level that everyone will do their job.”
The details of the operation are still fresh in Drachom’s mind, although he said the team has declared the chapter “forever closed”. “We closed it because we wish that it will never happen again,” he said.

THE TRANSITION
Fast forward to 2013, and Drachom’s chapter in the military had also come to an end. He retired from the force, but knew immediately what he wanted to do next.
Having grown up in a Buddhist family, Drachom had been practising the religion since his teens. He studied at the Amitabha Buddhist Centre in Geylang and eventually became its vice-president. As a soldier, he would wake up at 4am every morning to pray before leaving for camp.
Buddhism was his “source of strength”, the force that pushed him through his demanding job.

So for Drachom, the “natural progression” was to become a monk. “The purpose of being a monk is to realise your potential, and in the process, help as many people as possible,” he said. “Make people around you happy.”
While Drachom said his Army colleagues were not surprised by his decision, they still did not expect him to go that far. “Most people know it’s correct, but they’ll never take the step,” he added.

There was no time to waste. On Sep 27 that year, Drachom flew to Dharamsala, India to get ordained by the Dalai Lama. He shaved his head and took his vows. Drachom had traded his green fatigues for the monk’s maroon robes.
“It marked a very new beginning for me, the beginning of a spiritual life,” he said.
The rigours of monkhood, when the goal is to rid your mind of worldly distractions through constant prayer and meditation, did not bother Drachom. He had grown used to it through decades of practice.

In fact, there were some parallels between being a monk and being in the military.
“Both needed great amounts of discipline,” Drachom explained. “One is awareness of the enemy and situation. The other is awareness of negative emotions that cause an unpleasant state of mind prevalent to all.”

Still, Drachom faced some challenges. In the initial months he became “very self-aware” of his dressing and behaviour.
For instance, wearing the monk’s shemdap – or skirt – came with the risk of wardrobe malfunctions. “It is the first time in your life you are wearing a skirt; it’s really different,” he said, chuckling. “No one told me that when the wind blows, you must push it down.”

But the adjustment was quick, Drachom said, noting that monkhood soon became the “new norm”.
“There is a little transition, then you understand that it is a fantastic, very rare chance to practise, so you try,” he added. “It’s just transiting from soldier to spiritual warrior.”

SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCE
But to understand how Drachom first became such an elite soldier, you have to go back to his career-defining moment in 1984, a few months after he was commissioned as an officer.
He was woken up by his bunkmate who told him the SOF was going to hold a selection for its first ever batch of operators. “You’ll like this,” he remembered his friend saying. “I said, why not?”

The SAF has given Drachom numerous plaques, including one from the Special Operations Force (in red). (Photo: Aqil Haziq Mahmud)

A large number applied but only 60 were invited for the actual selection. And out of that, just 32 got in, Drachom among them. “I felt really good because it was the most elite and difficult course,” he said. “Many people desired it, but not many were able to do it.”
In April 1985, after a year of training, Drachom became an operational SOF trooper. He passed open and classified military courses both locally and abroad, including Airborne, Ranger, Combat Diving and Long-Range Reconnaissance Patrol.

Drachom has amassed various memorabilia throughout his military career, which started when he was an air defence artillery officer. (Photo: Aqil Haziq Mahmud)

But Drachom's toughest challenge yet came in the winter of 1989, when he went to the US to attempt the Navy SEAL course.
Drachom said the numerous YouTube videos on the brutal Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training – carrying boats on heads, lifting logs, rolling in the sand and slogging through m&d – are all accurate.

When he first went diving, the instructors reminded him to breathe underwater. He dismissed the statement as rhetorical, but only understood when he slipped into the 15-degree Celsius sea. “Because it was so cold, you froze and forgot to breathe,” he added.
The sheer fatigue also meant Drachom fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow. “Recovery become something I understood,” he stated. “You needed to do whatever you could so you could get the maximum time to rest and recover.”

Drachom persevered through a year of physical and mental torture with little sleep, eventually passing and receiving the coveted SEAL trident. Of the 168 trainees in his batch, only 28 passed the course.
On graduation day Drachom said he felt the sun was shining for him. He stood proudly, chest puffed out. “I felt that I wanted it very much, more than anyone else,” he said. “It was not about me, it was about the country’s pride.”

MEDITATION AND MONASTERIES
So when Drachom was told how difficult his first dharma retreat would be – monks would isolate themselves, live on minimal food and meditate for hours each time – he laughed it off.
How could sitting in a room, he joked, be more difficult than Singapore’s Ranger course, regarded as one of the toughest courses in the SAF?

Drachom took his meditations a step further, following in the footsteps of religious figures and heading to remote places considered blessed.
Two years ago, Drachom and a friend travelled to a deserted cave on a mountain in Rolwaling, located in the Himalayas. To reach the cave, they had to take a helicopter to the snow line before embarking on a one-day trek.

Drachom spent about three weeks meditating there. “At night it was just the moonlight, snow, cold air, freshness of mind, me, now,” he said, closing his eyes and snapping his fingers. “It’s a very amazing feeling.”
At least once a year, Drachom also heads to the Sera Jey Monastery in Mysore, South India to practise and attend lectures. This is where monks as young as 12 start on a curriculum which lasts for 25 years.

Drachom’s routine at the monastery begins at 4am with what he calls “preliminaries”, including washing up and cleaning the premises. The day is then broken down into four sessions of meditation.
The first session is from 4.30am to 7am, followed by breakfast comprising a cup of tea or coffee, and a piece of bread with jam or butter. Then it is rest time, which can involve light reading, lighter meditation or catching up with the news.

The next session runs from 9am to noon, after which is lunch, usually rice and vegetable soup with seasonal fruits like mango or papaya. If Drachom misses the taste of home, he cooks instant noodles. Monks then take a one-hour siesta, before doing some more revision, going for debates and attending lectures.
The third session runs from 3pm to 6pm, then it is another cup of tea, before the final session from 7pm to past 9pm. No dinner is served, but Drachom is used to it. The monks would then do some final revision before sleeping at 10pm. It is another 4am start the next day.

“Meditation doesn’t mean not doing anything, but familiarising your mind with a virtuous object, especially wisdom and compassion,” Drachom said, likening it to awakening from a dream where worldly distractions are just mental constructs. “No one can cheese you off anymore.”
It is clear that Drachom is serious about his quest for nirvana. In the past five years, he’s made about 80 trips to countries like the US, China, Switzerland and Australia, where he would learn, teach and meditate on retreats.

Soon he is going to India and then Paris for a couple of retreats. Then in June, he’s off to Mongolia to travel the Silk Road to Tibet. “My health is quite good, so my idea is to do a little bit more travelling to some of the places where your mind can be 100 per cent,” he said.
Drachom usually spends a month abroad before returning to Singapore for a week. Then the cycle repeats. In Singapore, he tries to teach and attend to those who need help with their problems.

“You need to have enough knowledge before people come (to you for help),” he said. “You’re almost like a repairman; they have something that’s spoilt, you need to help them repair it.”

OFFICER CADET SCHOOL
Drachom is no stranger to helping people. After leaving the SOF in 2006 as commanding officer of the Special Operations Training Centre, he was posted to the Officer Cadet School (OCS) as commander of the Hotel wing, one of 10 wings for Army cadets.

The years from 2006 to 2012 were arguably when he left the greatest impression in the military, as he helped transform 700 young cadets across seven batches into full-fledged officers.
“I was really serious when I did training,” Drachom said. “We can train timekeepers, or we can train people to be watchmakers: Taking everything apart, understanding the pedagogy, the meaning, the why, the how and everything that’s needed.
“Because an officer should not only be able to do it, he must be able to train the men to do what he wants them to do, and he has to do it together with them.”

For every batch in his wing, Drachom also introduced the 1,000-sit-up challenge, a rite of passage he pioneered in his commando days that’s not so much physical punishment, but a demonstration that the cadets are capable of more than they think.
Drachom would do one sit-up and his cadets would follow, all the way till 1,000. The record stands at 58 minutes and nine seconds.
“It was not so much about doing the thing,” he said. “It was doing what they seemingly were not so sure of doing. Most people after finishing, they still couldn’t believe what they had just done. Because between doing and believing, believing is more difficult.”

Apart from boosting cadets’ confidence, Drachom would also look after their welfare. Before tough training, he implemented what he called the morale hour, where instructors would buy snacks like potato chips and ice cream and share it with the cadets, all within an hour.
“The men will fight for me because I take care of their training, morale and discipline,” he said. “Give them a short period of time, enjoy as much, and there’ll be more of this, boys.”
Drachom was well aware that his job was to help his charges succeed as leaders.
“I said we train to fight, we fight to win,” he added. “I decided that there will be no losers. I can’t tell you how success looks like. But I will in all my ability give you everything that will make you succeed.”

Looking back, Drachom said leading cadets was “really different” from being in the SOF, where he had felt “a little burnt out doing it day in, day out”.
“It was a complete pleasure and privilege to take these fine men,” he added of his time at OCS. “I affected everybody who crossed paths with me. As long as I got a chance to speak to a cadet, I will try to rip his heart out and let him remember why we serve.”


FINAL THOUGHTS
In 2012, Drachom became deputy commander of the entire OCS Army wing, before retiring as a Lieutenant-Colonel in September the following year.

He still tries to meet up with his former cadets, many of whom have become parents and senior commanders in their own right. “You think of the things we have done together, you can only think that it was purposeful and important,” he said.
Sometimes they recognise him – shaved head, robes and all – when he shops for groceries at the supermarket, although he can't remember all of them simply because he's taken charge of far too many men.
But rather than go out for meals with his ex-colleagues, Drachom usually tries to host gatherings at his home. “I can’t be watching you eat dinner,” he added with a laugh.

Drachom said he has no regrets about his one and only career as a soldier. (Photo: Aqil Haziq Mahmud)

As a monk, Drachom said he misses some parts of his old job, especially his daily interaction – “talking to them and guiding them” – with cadets. “As much as the young men felt that I gave them meaning, it was as much them giving me meaning,” he said.
Still, he doesn't really have any regrets.

“My only regret is I only have one life to serve my country,” he added. “I wish I had one more to do it all over again.”

Today is exactly 28 Anniversary of the Incident of 26 march 1991.

Bro.LTC Fred wife passed away.Also a reason why he went into monkhood.

RIP Sister Cyndi.

"Cyndi Yee Yoke Fen, 40, died in
Singapore, September 18, 2012, of
cerebral venous thrombosis
By Ven. Tenzin Tsultrim
Cyndi Yee, the beloved wife of Fred
Cheong of Amitabha Buddhist Centre
(ABC), seemed fit and healthy, and no
one expected her to leave so suddenly.
Following a very severe migraine attack
that lasted several days, Cyndi suffered a
massive stroke on September 13. Fred was
by her side. She was rushed to the emergency
room and immediately placed in
intensive care. A huge blood clot had
formed in her brain that caused bleeding
into the surrounding tissues. The very
next day, heavily sedated, a four-hour
procedure was carried out to stop the lifethreatening
hemorrhage. Although the
doctor declared the procedure a success,
Cyndi’s condition deteriorated. By early
the next morning, Saturday, her brain had
shut down. Cyndi never regained consciousness.
Cyndi’s husband, Fred Cheong, is
Amitabha Buddhist Centre’s vice-president.
He leads ABC’s Animal Liberation project,
which has liberated over 150 million lives
in the last decade. Fred and Cyndi were
married for 20 years.Through Fred, Cyndi
met the Dharma. They joined Amitabha
Buddhist Centre 18 years ago and, from
then on, were devoted to serving Lama
Zopa Rinpoche.
News about Cyndi’s critical condition
spread quickly, bringing a constant
stream of visitors to the hospital. Fred
had contacted Lama Zopa Rinpoche in
the United States, and Rinpoche was
praying for Cyndi. Rinpoche had also
advised certain prayers, including the
Diamond Cutter Sutra, to be recited. The
Dharma friends who kept up a twentyfour
hour vigil for Cyndi that weekend
recited all the prayers that Rinpoche
advised. Many were hopeful that Cyndi
would pull through. Rinpoche said that
reciting the prayers was to either help
Cyndi recover fully or help her be reborn
in a pure land.
When medical tests showed that
Cyndi would never recover, Fred turned
to Rinpoche for a final decision. From
Rinpoche’s divination, it came out excellent
to release Cyndi from life support on
Monday night at 10 P.M. As the support
systems were switched off, Rinpoche
himself performed the powa ritual to
transfer her consciousness to a pure land.
That Monday from 7:30 P.M., prayers
were also recited in Kopan Nunnery and
at Sera Je Monastery. At ABC, a threeand-
a-half hour long extensive Medicine
Buddha puja was held, attended by 200
people. Khen Rinpoche Geshe Chonyi,
family and close friends were by Cyndi’s
bedside doing prayers. Borne by a powerful
chorus of prayers fromher gurus, family
and friends, Cyndi’s consciousness dissolved
away from this life.
Cyndi was an active volunteer at
ABC. With characteristic efficiency, she
organized the VesakDay puja sponsorship
for many years, set up the center’s retail
store and coordinated long life pujas
for our gurus. Fun-loving and lively,
she helped put together birthday and
anniversary parties for Khen Rinpoche,
ABC’s resident teacher.
Besides giving years of service to
ABC, Cyndi worked earnestly at her
Dharma practice. She quit a successful
career at the age of 35. She graduated
from the Basic Program in 2010 and completed
an impressive number of practices:
200,000 prostrations, 150,000 mandala
offerings, 100,000 Vajrasattva mantras,
100,000 refuge mantras, 100,000 Migtsemas,
400,000 Samayavajra mantras
and several tantric retreats.
Some days before she passed away,
she told a friend that the two most
important things in life were living in
morality and practicing the three principles
of the path.
Fred displayed great strength and
spiritual courage throughout the ordeal,
focusing on what was best for Cyndi. He
said: “I am really proud of what Cyndi
achieved in this life. From the age of 19,
from someone who didn’t know Dharma,
to becoming someone who died a
Dharma practitioner. She inspired me as
much as I inspired her.”

Hey buddy.... when army is for defense purpose u sont get soldiers going round the world killing and murder people round the world.... defense soldiers stays back to defend country.

US army soldiers decorated with war medals are warmongers go round the world destroy countries that hv low defense budgets and easily destroyed...

So these fucker soldiers u mentions are no.1 enemy of the world lied they are democrazy country US which they are not but warmongers...

Good defense soldiers are found in SAF no need warmonger medals like those murderer soldiers in UArseA....

.... get it.... dickhead...

It says a lot about them when the storming of the hijacked SIA plane is used in their folklore .

Compare this with just one unit in the US army-the 75th Ranger Regiment that has fought 16 major campaigns in WW2 (including Morocco, Sicily, Naples-Foggia, Anzio and Leyte) and countless battles in the Korean and Vietnam War , Grenada , Panama, Afghanistan and Iraq.

 

[tanwahtiu]

On the other hand, paper general carry pens and papers which is more powerful than those general carry arms and cannons...

As such Paper Generals are CEOs of company make peace with countries and do no harm to others.

How many paper generals do you see in US? None. Even their Commander in Chief are forced to be murder soldier than pursuade to be Paper General Commander in Chief..... go in peace not warmongering....

Get it.. dickhead...

Yeah... put it on and die. At least whem u go to St Peter gate he give u a golden robe and give a church paster a common white robe.

When u go war people pray for you fight for country.... when a pastor preached nonsense in church people sleep throughout and he gets only white robe.... useless fellow talk nonsense dont get golden robe...

My very sad No.1 uniform. Sibeh laukui when compared to SOF Rambo's/His Holiness the Venerable Vyarta Mora's fully-medalled No.1 uniform.

Lucky, I got markmanship and IPPT award and LCP rank. Otherwise, people will think I am a hotel waiter when I put it on.
