Rinpoche sent this card to a student who, along with her partner, had been offering service to the organization.

My most dear, kind, precious, wish-fulfilling jewel,
On the card it says “to my grandmother,” but that it is not meaning that you are old. Of course you are everything and have been all my family, but here the main reason was for the nice flower picture, to present that to you. That is the main reason for this card.

Especially what you explained in the car, how you and your husband are working together for the organization, that really gives meaning and a good purpose to being together. If one is just in relationship for the sex then the relationship will just be temporary, even after a few days, because soon you get bored and think someone else is better. It’s like eating food. You eat one food, get bored and look for different food.

So it is really wonderful and there is more happiness, inner happiness. That is really good and there is more meaning, you are benefiting together more for sentient beings and the teachings of Buddha.

What else is there to enjoy? Hope to see you soon.

With much love and prayer...
