A student asked Rinpoche about studying the Masters Program in Italy. Rinpoche sent this advice.
My very dear one,
From my heart I want to thank you for all your years of service. It’s so great. Thank you!
I checked and you have some life obstacles. They need to be cleared and then it’s very good for you to do the Masters Program at Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa.
- Receive a long-life initiation.
- Do White Tara practice daily
- Do four nyung näs to purify negative karma.
- Recite the long-life sutra sixty times.
It’s also very, very important for you to do purification practices before going to Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa. In addition to what I mentioned before, please do these practices:
- 300,000 prostrations to the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas.
- Four weeks of tonglen practice.
You must do these practices well before you start the Masters Program. It doesn’t matter if it takes time; this is most important to clear the obstacles you have.
With love and prayer ...
