My very dear Jane,

A student wrote to Rinpoche asking for advice about practices for the rest of his life, and for career advice as he is seeking stable and fulfilling work. He also requested Rinpoche to accept him as a student. Rinpoche’s response is below.

A student wrote to Rinpoche and asked which practices to do for the rest of his life.

1. May the mainland Chinese government realize that His Holiness Dalai Lama is the embodiment of all the buddhas, be totally devoted to his holy wishes, and invite His Holiness to China.

It would be wonderful if you could recognize that your own attachment is the cause of every single problem that you experience.

The most happy thing in my life, the most fulfilling thing, is to work for and to benefit sentient beings.

You should be like the guru and your mind the disciple, or you should be like the police and protect your mind. You know what is right and beneficial based on what is beneficial for yourself and others. 

Letting go of attachment is (not losing anything), it’s achieving inner peace and satisfaction.By letting go of attachment you gain inner satisfaction and peace.Letting go of attachment brings inner satisfaction and peace.***
