Rinpoche gave this advice to a student who had helped build prayer wheels at a center and was very close to dying due to cancer.

My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling one,
Thank you very much from the heart for all the positive things you did in this life, especially making the prayer wheel and all those things. All the positive things that you did with your body, speech and mind were for the benefit of sentient beings, so I appreciate that very much. You should rejoice in all that. By doing that all your past negative karmas are purified, already purified, think that.

Don’t think about any other things; don’t worry about any other things, just think about Amitabha’s pure land. Rely on Guru Amitabha, just to be born there for sentient beings, only think that. Attached is a picture of Amitabha’s pure land, so look at this a lot, often.

Don’t worry, only think about Amitabha Buddha and to be born there in the pure land. If you make requests to Amitabha, without doubt Amitabha will guide you there. Just think this.

Think that all your negative karma is purified. Nectar comes from Guru Amitabha and purifies the negative karma, so it is gone. Think that you are totally relying on Guru Amitabha.

If you go there, in the next life you will be able to benefit unbelievable numberless sentient beings and you will never be reborn in the lower realms. [You will become] a bodhisattva, then after one life you will become enlightened.

Thank you very much. As you know, we all have to die soon.

I have also made prayers for you.

With much love and prayers ...
