A director had arranged a visit by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to the Dharma center. Rinpoche sent this hand-written card to thank the director.

My most dear, kind, precious, wish-fulfilling director,
A billion, zillion times thank you, in general for studying the Dharma, opening the mind and giving yourself freedom for ultimate happiness—not just temporal but ultimate happiness, liberation from samsara and full enlightenment.

Especially you have been incredibly, dauntlessly and courageously going through and overcoming the difficulties skillfully, solving the problems and accomplishing the great achievement—preparation for His Holiness’s visit. So many people were able to see Chenrezig directly and receive teachings and guidance, and so many people were guided on the path to happiness and full enlightenment.

As I said, it is much, much, much more meaningful than arranging the Olympics. 

I hope to see you soon.

With much love and prayer. Thank you...
