Rinpoche sent this advice to an old student who was rushed to hospital with an aneurysm. Rinpoche had done prayers and pujas for him. The student wrote to thank Rinpoche for the prayers and said he had clear meditations and visualizations of Rinpoche, Lama Yeshe and His Holiness the Dalai Lama protecting him, so he had no fear and was rather blissful during that time.

Now you know, you recognize. For many people, I heard and I was told, His Holiness gave them advice to abandon Dolgyal practice, even those who had never met His Holiness. So he knows exactly and guides us, whether we follow him or not.

The meditation you did is good and the way you thought is good. Now you have got the idea that when death suddenly comes, your mind should be the same, even more strongly positive like this. So you don’t have to worry at all.

That is great news that you teach other people who have cancer or have so much fear of death, [about] the experience you had.

You are most welcome to enlightenment for our dear, most precious sentient beings.

It should be very easy for your partner too. That shows good proof of being Buddhist up to now. Thank you very much to both of you. 

Please give my love to your daughter, wherever she is now on this earth.
