Rinpoche sent this letter to a student about the benefits of practicing Dharma with bodhicitta, the mind of enlightenment.

My most dear one,
I hope you and your whole family are very well. I am sure you are finding more meaning in your life by doing more and more continual practice of Dharma. You are really seeing your true life and I hope it is very beneficial for your mind and for all the sentient beings, as you are doing it with bodhicitta.

I am very, very happy with the way you are thinking and bringing your life higher and higher to enlightenment by meditating on lam-rim, especially with bodhicitta—meditating on bodhicitta and living with bodhicitta, eating with bodhicitta, walking with bodhicitta, sleeping with bodhicitta and so on.

Is there anything I can do for you, besides my daily prayer for you and for all the students and benefactors of the centers, for all the people who offer service to the organization and for all those who rely upon me, whose names are given to me, those who are living and those who have died. Please let me know if I can do anything for you.

With much love and prayer...
