My dearest enlightening yogini,HA HA! I am sure you are only in the highest bliss. A zillion, trillion, numberless thanks to you for the past, present, and future as well, in case I forget in the future. HA HA!

 My dear Jackie,I hope you are well. I enjoyed very much meeting your mother and you, I liked her very much.

My dear Alan,I hope you are very well, please give my greetings to your very kind wife and son who are helping the center so much, serving the Buddha and sentient beings as well as myself.

Rejoice every day. It is essential. This is how to be a fortunate person, as rejoicing eliminates ignorance and delusions and causes happiness. Nagarjuna advised kings who are busy to rejoice in others’ good works and dedicate the merit.

Letter to old director:

Lama Yeshe used to often say it is not up to the mind, it is up to karma. He quite often used to say that or just to accept the situation when things are not happening as you want them to. If something can be remedied or managed then you can try.

My most dear Jamie,I hope you are well and blissed out.

You should try to check if someone knows anyone in the planning department to get an idea of how they view the center. If someone from the planning department does come to check the center, you should apologize.

The chairperson of an FPMT Center should be nice and easygoing from the beginning. Don’t listen to other people’s gossip about others’ faults.

My very dear Katya and Nick,How are you? It was so good to see you taking such good care of all those people at the retreat. You are both great examples of center directors, with your kind hearts, love and respect, and caring.
