Giving Back Commitments

Giving Back Commitments

A student wrote to Rinpoche asking if she could give back some commitments she had taken in an initiation.

Dear Karen,
I am surprised you want to give back your Yamantaka commitments. You should know that many Westerners do manage to practice. Your view is just the way you think. If you cannot practice, this means you are not even leaving positive imprints on your mind, which is the quickest path to be free from samsara and to reach enlightenment.

Regarding your question about the house, if you can, it would be best to buy it, and sell it when you can get a good profit, otherwise just rent it.
