My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling one,
Thank you billions of times for your great support and service, since you came to the center in 2007 and for the retreats you did. Thank you billions of times for the Vajrasattva retreat and for working at center. This is working for all the sentient beings to educate them, to wake them up from ignorance, to enlighten them.

By thinking of me as your guru, then if you are working for the center, you will collect the most extensive merit, and it is the most extensive and greatest purification, every day, every hour, every minute and every second. Also you are offering to numberless buddhas, Dharma, Sangha, statues, stupas and scriptures.

Sakya Pandita mentioned that having practiced the paramita of charity for thousands of eons, having given away one’s head, legs and hands, then even the merits of this—having given these away to the sentient beings for thousands of eons—all the merit collected is achieved in one second by following the guru’s path.

That means when you work for the guru, following the guru’s advice or fulfilling the guru’s wishes, all the merit that has been collected for thousands of eons by making charity, when you fulfill your guru’s wishes or follow the advice of the guru, in one second it gets done. You have to understand this.

So please rejoice in your whole life, it’s unbelievable, it’s most unbelievably happy—happy in Dharma, not happy with attachment and anger, that is totally different. Happy to achieve enlightenment to benefit sentient beings, so like that there is no time for depression, day and night, and even when you are sick, you can be happy!

Please find attached a whole lifetime of practice. You can die in a most unbelievably happy way, with no worries. In this way nobody has to help you, because you are guided by yourself and you are the happiest person in the world.

Thank you very much.

With much love and prayers...
