My most dear one,Thank you very much. According to my observation, if death happens, it’s best and if death doesn’t happen, it’s not so good. His Holiness and other lamas wanting to take you away is a good dream.

A longtime nun wrote to Rinpoche, who gave the following advice about the need to cut attachment and practice Dharma continuously.

My dearest Ani Tenzin,You are having the best time at Amitabha Pure Land. Think about going to Amitabha Pure Land and think about Guru Amitabha all the time. If you think Amitabha is the guru, this becomes guru yoga.

My dear brothers and sisters,This student's sudden death is a great teaching for all of us. This is the real teaching, instead of just reading a text or having someone tell us.

Ven Roger:Dear friends,

Regarding how long you can leave the body after death, normally in Tibet, where it is cold and dry, you are able to keep the body for three days without problems.

Dear Ani Jean,Your dream is so precise and clear. At the time of your death, you can arrange for people to be there as if it were your birthday.

Rinpoche sent the following advice on what practices to do when you are close to death.

My very dear Venerable Jeanette,Regarding the obstacles to your life, it is good for your children to know, but don’t make it sound heavy. Make them aware of the possibility so that they are prepared in their minds.

My dear one,My advice is to perform 20,000 Samayavajra.1 Use the same visualization as for Vajrasattva practice, on the crown of your head with nectar coming down, and the three purifications, downward, upward, and instantaneous.
