Lama Zopa Rinpoche receives thousands of  letters every year from people seeking guidance on a variety of issues. His advice is made available here, so it may be of benefit to others. 

This topic contains advice on fundraising and the practice of generosity, and includes advice about specific charitable projects. There are also letters of thanks  to benefactors and to students who have offered service to the Dharma in many different roles. Rinpoche says that following the guru’s advice is the biggest purification of obscurations and negative karma from beginningless rebirths and the way to collect extensive merit.
