Dear Dechen,
Thank you for your kind offerings and letter. I am just an ordinary person experiencing the suffering of self-cherishing; nothing special. Becoming special means practicing tonglen for numberless suffering sentient beings of the six realms; then we become special.

It is OK what happened. Do not worry, be happy and try to benefit others. Most important is to integrate your study with the practice of the lamrim and then try to actualize, as you want to benefit others.

I am very happy with what you are doing. Thank you very much, you're eating food, making kaka, all the things of the day. Make them be for the benefit of sentient beings, the happiness of all sentient beings.

With love and prayer...
