Thanks for Support

My very dear Norman,
Thank you very much for your kind email. I am sorry for the delay in replying.

From the bottom of my heart I would like to thank you very much for all the many years of your service to the center. This has enabled the center to benefit many sentient beings. So many sentient beings have received teachings correctly, which allows them to practice correctly and to have correct realizations. From that, they can achieve liberation and enlightenment and be able to enlighten others.

All of this great benefit that has come from the center for so many years, and will continue to come in the future, came from you, your capacity, your intelligence, your devotion, and your compassion. I highly appreciate all your kindness and I request, with my two palms together, for you to please continue.

Of course, I don't need to repeat to you how important it is to teach Dharma to sentient beings, and how important it is for sentient beings to learn Dharma. To be able to become fully enlightened and reveal Dharma, Shakyamuni Buddha first generated compassion for all living beings by entering the Mahayana path and collecting merits by practicing charity for three countless great eons. Then he practiced the paramita of morality for three countless great eons, as well as practicing perseverance and the rest of the six paramitas. He also offered his limbs and his whole body to others. He was born so many times in royal families but gave away his wealth and gave up his family in order to complete the two merits, wisdom and virtue, and in order to achieve the two kayas, so that he could then reveal Dharma to us. In this way, these precious teachings were left in the world by Buddha.

How wonderful it is that you are teaching and translating this to many sentient beings. How joyful it is! How fantastic it is! This is the ultimate method of achieving world peace, and to enlighten all sentient beings.

Thank you very much.
With much love and prayers...
