Ven. Roger used to organize trips for old people when he worked in Sydney. He would hire a bus and then drive them out into the countryside for an outing, to get them out of the house, so they could have a good time.

Rinpoche offered the following suggestions to a Western student, who was teaching Buddhism to beginners.

Whatever you are teaching, be it Vipassana meditation, breathing meditation, whatever, the emphasis should always be on generating the good heart, on caring for others and cherishing others.

My very dear Michael,

My very dear Lin,I am very happy to have you translating my teachings and Lama Yeshe’s into Vietnamese, also other Tibetan lamas’ teachings. I am very happy about this.

The purpose of my life is to free all sentient beings from suffering, and lead them to full enlightenment.I must free all the hell realm sentient beings from suffering, and lead them to full enlightenment.I must free all the preta realm sentient bein

My very dear Karl,Thank you for kindly and compassionately existing in this world, helping sentient beings and, of course, helping the buddhas and bodhisattvas. I was shocked to hear that there were six Sanskrit texts of Arya Sanghata Sutra.

In Tibetan, everything is in the past tense, that such and such happened. For example, “clouds of offerings appeared and were offered” and so forth.

To translate exactly as the lama has said from beginning to end is extremely difficult. Even if the translator is very good, it is extremely difficult and quite rare for there to be not the slightest mistake.

My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling students of LRZTP6,Zillions and billions of thanks for reading the Golden Light Sutra in Tibetan, especially those who only started Tibetan one month ago. You people must be like Manjushri!
