My most dear one,
How are you? Are you getting bored or blissing out up there? Because you like the house so much and really don’t want to leave, I checked and it comes out negative for you to continue to stay there too long. I don’t know when you are planning to move out, but according to my observation after some time something negative comes if you stay there. I don’t know what. Maybe you don’t have enough merit.

However, you have to remember impermanence and death. This is the very basis of Buddhist philosophy, what the Buddha taught, the very basic thing is that every day you could die. Also this is what Lama Tsongkhapa mentioned in the Lamrim Chenmo. If you think, “I will die today,” then that means you will practice Dharma today. Then if you die, it is very good, because you did the practice and made preparation for death. Thinking this way benefits both sides —this is a very basic thing.

If you don’t think that, then the very foundation of Buddhism doesn’t happen. You live life with the wrong concept, then it’s hard for any activity to become Dharma, even meditation or any daily life actions, such as eating, walking, sleeping, sitting, and so forth. These actions don’t become Dharma.

In your life, since Lama passed away I’m only one, I know you think that in your heart. We didn’t happen to talk much, but you know my heart and I know your heart, in an ordinary way.

I’m trying to finish my retreat, but I am just making noise, some mantras, which are called retreat, but it is not retreat. I thought I would send you some cards, and tell you something so you don’t get bored, and I hope to see you soon.

I heard that you forgot to offer even a drink of water to students and friends who worked so hard for you at your place. You must help people, because they are working very hard. This is besides bringing sentient beings to enlightenment.

I am thinking to offer the best lunch for the people, Tibetan food, on the day of the puja. I’m not sure how many people will come, but perhaps I may also need to use your kitchen. I may need two kitchens, one may not be enough. I can’t say, maybe a lot of people will come.

With much love and prayers...
