Heartfelt Greetings on the Tibetan New Year
A pure Samaya or good connection between the teacher and the students is more important than anything, but an impure connection is more harmful than anything.

Human life is difficult to obtain but easy to destroy. Even these very small viruses can destroy our lives. Therefore, we shouldn’t be arrogant or egotistical because nothing really belongs to us permanently, only the mind. Yet we have traveled since beginningless time with our minds without examining whether what we pick up from our mind stream is valid.
Achievements, fame and fortune are like ripples on water,
One follows the next, follows the next, follows the next…
In times of good fortune, we proclaim ourselves KI CHO when ascending a throne.
In times of misery, we can’t believe our misfortune when we are being stepped on.
