Thanks for Teachings

Date Posted:

A student gave this card to Rinpoche in March 2011, during a retreat held at Atisha Centre, Bendigo, Australia, just prior to Rinpoche manifesting a stroke. Rinpoche requested publication of the card, so others can rejoice.

Dearest Lama Zopa Rinpoche,
I just want to say how happy I am (and all of us here, really) to have had the karma to spend time with you. Your kindness and skill has inspired me to go back to the drawing board and totally change my life.

May I work as tirelessly as you to fulfill the wishes of every sentient being, and may you, Rinpoche, always abide in my heart. Thank you for all the understanding, teachings and purification. I have not fulfilled all my commitments to you, but I will!
