A student wrote to Rinpoche after reciting the Heart Sutra one thousand times for another student who had died recently. Rinpoche sent this advice.

My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling one,
A billon, zillion, trillion thanks for reciting the Heart Sutra, not only for that student but for yourself to be free from samsara quickly.

This leaves positive imprints for you to realize emptiness quickly, to eliminate quickly the root of samsara—the ignorance holding the I, the aggregates, as truly existent, while it is not, while it has never been that way.

You should be great, enjoying, because the person you were doing prayers for has already been born and will be wealthy or is wealthy.

I hope to see you soon. Either with the same body or a different body, maybe as a puppy. I could see you maybe as a puppy, hopefully a nice puppy that gives more pleasure to people even though it doesn’t sing.

With much love and prayers ...
