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

Greetings to the Bigu nuns who are practicing the three trainings,

Quite some time ago, it might have been the last time Geshe Rabten Rinpoche was in Dharamsala, he was doing a sadhana and prayers, and he was trying to define what pollution means.

My very dear one,Thank you for your very kind letter and sorry for the long delay.Motivation is the most important thing.

Dear Ven. Tenzin,Thank you very much for your kind letter and all the news letting me know about what you are doing and all the retreats.

My very dear Pauline,Thank you for your email. Now, it is very good if you do some retreat, lamrim, and preliminaries, at this time.

My very dear Linda,Thank you very much for your kind card, offerings, and gifts.

Do Lama Chöpa daily as guru yoga, to receive the blessing of the guru and lamrim realizations.

Student: My mother very much wants me to live with her and take care of her in her old age. Is this more important than doing retreat or teaching?
