Rinpoche made some peanut butter and erma mixture and offered it to one of his neighbors. This was a hand-written card. Erma (Zanthoxylum alatum) is a spice, like red peppercorn, that grows in the Himalayas and is found in Solu Khumbu region, Nepal. It has medicinal qualities and is used in Tibetan and Nepali cooking.

My very dear one,
I’d like to see you and invite for lunch, but I’m busy in retreat now. In the future, later, if there is time. However, I want to send this peanut butter mixed with the Himalayan mountain herb called erma which is cleansing for the blood, I think. It also controls AIDS as well. It came out very beneficial to help with AIDS.

I made this myself. This is the first time I made it for you, after many years of thinking to make it. It took a long time for the idea to be actualized.

We just eat the erma putting it in food. Please put it on thinly at first and if you like it then you can put more. HA HA HA! If you can’t use it at all, please return it.

With love and prayer...

PS. The card says I woof you! But I think it means I love you. HA HA!
