A student wrote saying she was experiencing bliss in her meditation, and asking if it was correct.

My very dear Lucy,
Thank you for your very kind letter, which I read. What is happening to you is a definite sign that you are receiving blessings from the Guru Deity. This means you are doing the practice correctly; it shows that and it is proof of that.

Now, this needs to not degenerate and for you to develop it. It is very important for you to practice tantra based on the lam-rim and especially on the root of the path—guru devotion—as strongly as possible, as well as renunciation and bodhicitta. I mention this because you need this to have realizations of tantra.

I checked and it comes out very good for you to slowly learn the Six Yogas of Naropa. This might be very good to do, so you can start to make preparations for it.

With much love and prayers...
