Rinpoche wrote this comment in a visitor’s book after seeing a human body exhibition in New York.

Thank you very much for organizing this rare, extensive exhibition of the human body. The exhibition especially shows how smoking is so bad and cigarettes are an impure substance that shorten our life. That helps us to have a healthy body and mind, and a clean place or atmosphere.

This helped me to think how precious [this body is.] We need to actualize the spiritual path that removes the cause of taking such a body, which is in the nature of suffering and has a basis of suffering. We need to achieve the spiritual holy body, which has no suffering, but only benefits and does no harm to numberless living beings.

The exhibition inspired me to learn the spiritual path, to be free forever and to cease suffering!

Thank you,

Lama Zopa
