The Stupa Will Benefit Numberless Beings
Rinpoche sent this card to thank a student who had recently helped build a stupa. He also commented on a Buddha Amitabha statue that was forthcoming.
My very dear one,
Thank you very, very, very much for all your service and dedication. Also, thank you very much for your service to sentient beings and to the teachings of the Buddha [while serving in your previous role.] I hope to see you next time.
Next time there will be Buddha Amitabha. The statue will bless the whole area and people will be very fortunate to see and enjoy it. It will create the causes to achieve not just temporary happiness, but ultimate happiness, enlightenment, and as I mentioned before, omniscient mind.
Also the stupa, anybody looking at it has the nature of peace. The stupa brings the mind into peace, even just by seeing it. The art has that feeling and gives that effect. I would have liked to have seen the stupa, but maybe I will try to come next time.
Thank you very much.
PS. Next time Buddha Amitabha statue will be here and we will have a big celebration with the neighbors and painting to celebrate. The statue will bless the whole area, the people, and will bring not only temporary happiness but peerless happiness and buddhahood.
Thank you so much for building the stupa, which will benefit numberless sentient beings of the six realms. In particular, in this world, the USA, the area and especially for those who built the stupa. It purifies many obstacles and completes all of the realizations to actualize the path. It totally eliminates obstacles, brings all the realizations for numberless sentient beings and creates skies of merit and good karma, the causes of happiness, and ultimately to achieve enlightenment.
With much love and prayers...
