Thank you very much for your kind letter. You should know we are living in samsara. That means we experience problems or suffering. Otherwise we are liberated.

Because we did not actualize the path in our last life and this life, we experience problems. The solution is to practice Dharma and actualize the path. Only then can we abandon the cause of suffering, delusion and karma.

Practice thought transformation. Transform [problems] into happiness, and use as the path to enlightenment, as a cause for happiness for all living beings. This human life you have is like liberation, so be happy, because the suffering of the lower realms is like the limitless sky.
