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.

Student's LetterDear most kind Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche,I offer you my heartfelt praises, my aspirations to free all beings from samsara, my Dharma practice, and positive actions.

I regard as the most important thing in the world anybody who dedicates his or her life to achieving lamrim realizations, with the goal to liberate numberless beings from the oceans of samsaric suffering and bring them to enlightenment.  

Lamrim is what you should focus on your whole life, even while you are doing your job. You should keep your mind in this. It is the most meaningful, most profound practice, doing each action with the mind in bodhicitta.

There is nothing better than actualizing the lamrim, including tantra, which actually looks yummier than the lamrim. But lamrim is like the yummy cream on the cake, actually lamrim is the cream.

My most dear, kind, wish-fulfilling ones,

Dear Kim,Thank you very much for your kind letter. Definitely according to your wish you can become students, even though I don’t have any qualities. I can, however, buy them from a shop—Wal-Mart—but maybe they will be very expensive.

My very dear Losang,Thank you for your kind letter and news. I checked and BEST is to study and practice the lamrim.

My very dear Anna,Thank you very much for your kind letter, I was very happy to receive it and read your news. Please find attached my advice for your practice, what you should focus on for your life.

Dear John,Thank you very much for your kind letter. Regarding faith, it depends on which faith and faith in what. Generally speaking, we need a lot of merit to generate faith, and we also need to purify negative karma and defilements.
