Rinpoche sent this letter to a student who helped build many stupas.

A student asked Rinpoche if she could print the four dharmakaya relic mantras and carry them on her body as a talisman for protection. Rinpoche advised the following.

If we raise prayer flags, they bless the elements that touch the mantras, for example, the wind. Then, animals and insects who feel this wind are purified of their negative karma, and it transfers their consciousnesses to higher realms.

Dear Simon,I heard you put the prayer flags up with lots of good energy and I appreciate that, but the day was not a good day to put them up. I did a mo and it also came out bad to put up prayer flags on that day.

Rinpoche sent this message after leaving a Dharma center.

My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling one,

All the texts explain the benefits of having OM MANI PADME HUM [in the prayer wheel].

My very dear Liz,Thank you very much for your kind email.It is not a problem, very good advice to do lo-jong and tonglen. You can do tonglen like normal with your hand turning the prayer wheel.

When Rinpoche flew from Singapore to the United States in 2011, a very devoted airline stewardess sat on the floor in the aisle asking Rinpoche many questions about the prayer wheel. [Rinpoche always travels with and turns a prayer wheel while on a plane.] Rinpoche sent this letter to the stewardess and arranged for her to receive a prayer wheel from Amitabha Buddhist Centre.
