Making Life in Prison Meaningful

Rinpoche received a letter from a prisoner, who sent a list of all the practices and mantras he had performed. He replied as follows.

My very dear one,
Thank you very much for your kind letter. It sounds like you are a very old student of twenty or thirty years. I am very happy with what you are doing, all the mantras and practices that you are performing, and also your prayers. I will also pray for you.

Please make your life most meaningful with the thought of bodhicitta.

With much love and prayers...
