"Thank you for sharing the photographs of the Milarepa Costume Party!
How inspiring and especially reassuring that children are exposed to such sanity on one hand
and to the existence of peaceful and wrathful dieties and how to prepare and deal with such energies!!!
What powerful seeds of preparation for this life of course but also for the bardo!
You are like a fairy, magician, gardener of hearts... helping them to flourish...
It soothes my heart to know that this is happening. Khenpo is so happy with you I am sure...
May you and your joy live forever!"
Love, Liliane Busby

"Did I actually express in words to you how wonderful your
Chorus was in so many ways in their performance last night?
I am not sure that I did, and I want to be certain that you "hear" it, read it, from me.
It is really amazing what you are doing with them. And it has far-reaching effects."
