A Billion, Zillion Thanks for Circumambulations
A student with life obstacles had circumambulated a stupa 2,500 times, in accordance with Rinpoche’s advice. Rinpoche wrote this thank you note and sent it with a box of chocolates.
My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling one,
A billion, zillion thanks for 2,500 circumambulations of the stupa. That is amazing. So many lifetimes of negative karma and obscurations from beginningless rebirths have been purified; so much purification. You should rejoice.
According to my ear you might be the only one who did the most circumambulations among Western people, therefore you should rejoice so much.
I checked and you still have some life obstacles so you need to read the long-life sutra 300 times. You can discuss this with Ven. Sangpo, who recites it once a day, and you can share the number [of recitations] with others. You should recite the sutra as much as possible.
Wow, wow, wow. It’s such great purification.
With much love and prayers ...
