My very dear Ani,
Thank you for your kind letter. It comes out very good for you to do three-year retreat.

As you know the lam-rim, then please do everything with bodhicitta and strong guru devotion. Then, everything will be successful, including enlightening each and every hell being, hungry ghost, animal, human being, sura being, and asura being, also each intermediate state being.

With much love and prayers...
