Dear Kyabje Thamthog Rinpoche, abbot of Namgyal Monastery, enriched of the Buddhadharma, depthless and endless, and beautified in living in the three higher trainings and young Thamthog Rinpoche, Ven. Tenzin Khenrab Rinpoche, enriched of the Buddhadharma, depthless and endless, and beautified in living in the three higher trainings,

Thank you very, very much for inviting me to be at Chenrezig His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s teachings in Milano. That is like bringing me from darkness into light, so I highly appreciate this, and it is extremely kind.

Unfortunately at this time, before going to Nepal for the one-month lamrim course in November, I am taking time to do some retreat, also which His Holiness advised. This time was already planned for retreat, so I am very sorry to say I will not be able to attend.

Then this is just a personal thing to express, dear Kyabje Thamthog Rinpoche, so much of your past extensive merits to be able to serve His Holiness, being very close to His Holiness, not just showing abbot but totally dedicated to His Holiness, like His Holiness’s own feet and fingers, like that totally dedicated. This is really so, so, so, so good, I don’t see like that others able to run for His Holiness and again I want to say thank you so much.

Also numberless thanks to Ven. Tenzin Khenrab Rinpoche for so much kindness helping sentient beings, bringing [them] to enlightenment and so dedicated.
