A student wrote offering a three-month Vajrasattva retreat, which he said had a tremendous effect on his life. The retreat was completed at Kopan Monastery and the student had also gone on pilgrimage to many holy places in Nepal.

My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling one,
Thank you very much your kind letter. A billion, zillion times thank you for the Vajrasattva retreat for three months, and for all the things you did, the pilgrimages, etc.

Wow, wow, wow, everything brings benefit to your mind. That’s really what you need, the most important thing. Only then you can achieve enlightenment and free all sentient beings from the oceans of samsaric sufferings. Otherwise even if you know the whole Tengyur or Kangyur by heart, it won’t benefit the mind.

Please continue to make your life most meaningful with the thought of bodhicitta day and night, and in every action that you do, even sleeping, eating, walking, etc.

With much love and prayers...
