In this letter to a student’s daughter, Rinpoche advises that having a good heart and benefiting others brings success and happiness.

My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling one,
Thank you very much. How are you? I am sure you are healthy now.

Here I am sending these cards to say hello and to say that the happiest life, the most successful life, and what makes all the buddhas and bodhisattvas pleased and all sentient beings happy, is to have a good heart and to live the life for all sentient beings. That’s it.

Then you will have success and all your wishes will get fulfilled by the way, while you are benefiting sentient beings and fulfilling their wishes.

Thank you very much. I hope to see you soon.

With much love and prayers ...
