Request to be Guru
A student who felt extremely devoted to Rinpoche wrote to him requesting him to be his guru.
My very dear one,
Thank you for your letter. I am very happy to hear that your meeting me and hearing the Dharma caused your mind to be positive and develop in the Dharma. This fulfills the purpose of my life. It is fantastic how this has begun for you; my request is for you to continue. My hope is you can continue and receive more teachings on sutra and tantra so your mind can develop. The lamrim is very important—the most important —the three principles of the path, etc, then the path of secret mantra.
Regarding your request about my being your guru, of course. If you find this beneficial, why not, we can try our best. From time to time, if you have any questions, let me know.
With much love and prayer...
