My very dear Losang,
Thank you for your kind letter and news. I checked and BEST is to study and practice the lam-rim. Learn the lam-rim by following the guidelines and outlines and going through the meditations step-by-step until you have stable realizations. Keep going through the lam-rim in this way.

It is very good if you go to study with Geshe __ in France or Spain, but following the lam-rim is the main thing. Of course if you can also study other things, such as the Basic Program, that is also very good, as long as lam-rim is the main one.

At the moment, the main thing is to study lam-rim by following the outline, but on that basis of lam-rim you can take other teachings such as Basic Program etc, then it is very good. I am attaching some details on how to meditate on lam-rim.

Please make your life most meaningful with the thought of bodhicitta, whatever you do day and night, make all your actions come from bodhicitta, this is the best life.

With much love and prayers...
