Dear Lee,I checked about your new business and the following needs to be done. Geshe Chonyi will be able to help with this.

Start writing the Arya Sanghata Sutra. It can be just a few lines a day, whatever you can manage.

Dear Kathy,I hope this finds you very well. I am now doing some retreat and trying to finish before leaving for Taipei.No matter how difficult life seems, no matter how terrible it may appear at times, you should think it is like last night’s dream.

Dear Jean, Lorenzo, Sharon, Keith, and Jackie,I have been checking extensively and this is my advice for you all:Recite Gyaltsen Tsemoi Pungyen—Jean and Lorenzo, especially Jean.Practice Kurukulla meditation—Lorenzo, Jean, Jackie, Sharon,

If you are performing the daily actions of your life with two attitudes, you are getting close to enlightenment.

This advice about the importance of the good heart was given to a student who was in the computer business. 

A student wrote that she had fallen in love with a monk and had physical contact with him. She asked how to purify the negative karma created.

That’s good advice for everybody. Everybody needs to simplify their life. That’s why there are so many problems, because people don’t simplify. It’s the answer to everything. The problem is everybody wants more and better of everything.

There are different meditations and techniques that one can try. When you come closer to the person or thing that is the object of your desire, you should think that you are coming closer to the lower realm or to the hell realm.

Depression can be a good thing, because it is a sign of purification, of having practiced Dharma.
