Thanks for Reading the Long Life Sutra

A student had recited the Long Life Sutra fifty times and asked Rinpoche what practices to do next.

My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling one,
I was very happy to hear news about you.

Continue with the Long Life Sutra and also read Chanting the Names of Manjushri if you can. This is a most profound, extensive teaching, especially on tantra, taught by the Buddha—it is not Hindu tantra, but tantra taught by the Buddha—and this causes us to achieve buddhahood, the peerless happiness, the total cessation of obscurations and completion of realizations, quickly.

I am so happy that you enjoyed and were able to read the Long Life Sutra fifty times. That is incredible. Thank you very much.

With much love and prayers ...
