My dear Pauline,
I am very sorry to hear about your mother, I have done prayers for her. Your mother has given us a good teaching. She has shown us that the nature of life is impermanence, and death can happen at any time. This is the same teaching on death and impermanence that Buddha gave when he showed the aspect of passing away.

I checked and it came out very good to have 77 Lama Tsongkhapa tsa-tsas made for her. I am attaching a picture of a specific mold. We have one mold at the Aptos house and I will ask the nun here to make 15 for your mother. As we only have one mold it will take time, so I will ask Nalanda Monastery to make the remaining 62.

The original mold for this particular tsa-tsa belonged to Domo Geshe Rinpoche, who was a great yogi. The original tsa-tsa actually had relics of Lama Tsongkhapa in it and it is from that tsa-tsa that we made a mold.

Maybe Nalanda could paint or gold leaf them and open the eyes. They could be mailed to you, that would be so good. If you want these extra things you can request them directly. Hope to see you soon.

With much love and prayers...
