Thanks to an Artist

A student was inspired by a photo of Rinpoche turning a prayer wheel with his right hand after manifesting a stroke. He saw this as a great teaching on joyful effort. He does Daily Purification: A Short Vajrasattva Practice, every morning. He asked Rinpoche about the father’s six and the mother’s five mudras and also sent him a White Tara picture he had made.

My very dear one,
Thank you very much for your kind letter. I am very, very happy and billions of thanks that you started Vajrasattva practice after you saw my book. Thank you.

Regarding your question, if you have received a highest yoga tantric initiation then I can send a picture of the father’s six mudras and the mother’s five. These signify the path. Thank you very, very much.

Also thank you very, very much for the beautiful Tara. Thanks that you did it for Geshe-la’s long life, it is a very, very nice drawing. Right now I am near a small FPMT center. There is a lady who is a good artist here and I will ask her to make the eyes more elaborate and maybe paint the body. But what you made is a very, very good example. I have put it up in my room, right in front of me near my bed.

I wanted to ask you, would you be happy to paint another two pictures for me? If so, would you paint White Tara and Amitabha and send them to me? I would like that very much.

With much love and prayers...
