Rinpoche offered this advice to a student who had just became a nun.

My most dear, precious, kind, wish-fulfilling one,
Thank you for your kind email, I am sorry for the long delay. You becoming a nun is unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. Thank you a billion, zillion times. Thank you very much.

Try to know the vows and live in the vows. That is the foundation for all the path to enlightenment. That is the basis for the bodhisattva vow and the bodhisattva vow is the foundation for the tantric vow. The bodhisattva vow is to achieve enlightenment for numberless sentient beings, to free the numberless sentient beings from the oceans of samsaric suffering and bring them to full enlightenment. The tantric vow is to achieve full enlightenment as quickly as possible. Even in this one lifetime of degenerate time, and you can enjoy the life.

This is the way to make the life most happy and beneficial for all sentient beings. Thank you very much.

With much love and prayers...
