Rinpoche's Thank-you Cards, Letters and Gifts
Drawing of Maitreya Buddha
A student who had helped with a tour of Buddhist relics sent Rinpoche a drawing a child had done during the tour, of Maitreya Buddha. Rinpoche sent the following reply.
My very dear Charlotte,
Thank you very much for your kind letter and photos.
Thank you very much for your great help with the relic tour, helping so many sentient beings to purify negative karma, to collect merit, and plant the seed of enlightenment. It is great service and also helps the Maitreya Project.
Please make your life most meaningful with the thought of bodhicitta.
With much love and prayers...
Thanks For Helping
Rinpoche sent the following card to a student, along with a shawl.
My most dear dearest one,
Thank you so much a billion times for living in this world, for kindly taking birth in this world, I don’t know where exactly, and becoming a Buddhist looking for enlightenment. A zillions thanks for that.
Trillions of thanks for helping Mickey Mouse me and helping others, and helping the teachings of the Buddha. You are an unbelievable one, benefiting more sentient beings through the teaching of the Buddha.
Please continue as extensively as possible to enlighten the world and all sentient beings. Please enjoy this shawl. I hope it has all the best feng shui.
With big love ...
