Keep doing the water bowls. Khen Rinpoche is not teasing when you ask something and he says, “Just do the water bowls,” because he knows this is what I like—this is what makes me happy. So, he wants you to stay at Kopan forever doing this.

The Six-Session Guru Yoga verse says, “Whatever supreme and mundane attainment…what only pleases you.” This is the quickest path to enlightenment, and it brings the result and the realizations quickly. There is nothing to do other than that. Whether we learn Tibetan or not, or do other things, whatever pleases the guru is the most effective and efficient thing for us to do. We should keep this in mind and remember to keep it in our thoughts.
