My very dear Jennifer,Thank you very much for your incredible practice; it is really something to rejoice in.

My very dear Constance,Thank you very much for your kind letter.

The main thing is the lamrim—to practice the preliminaries to have lamrim realizations. First, gain the realizations of the Three Principal Aspects of the Path, then tantra.

The main thing is to read. So much of your understanding is dependent on your own study.

 My very dear Chokyi,I am very happy to receive your kind letter about the advice you received from the monk you met with. It’s good that you have been attending teachings at the Dharma center.

 My very dear Christine,Thank you very much for your kind emails, and I am very sorry for the many eons of delay in replying. My assistant told me you emailed a number of times, so I am sorry it took so long to reply.

I hope you can enjoy this card, find peace in your mind, especially when your mind gets disturbed or unhappy.

I thought to mention this.

Many other religions have good things to offer different people for their happiness and peace. But what is missing in these other religions is the complete path to liberation and enlightenment - total renunciation of the whole of samsara.

With whatever virtuous action you create, please dedicate like this:This is the year of obstacles for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, so please dedicate strongly for His Holiness to have a healthy, stable life and for the quick success of all His Holine
