The distance between ourselves and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas is created by our differentiating, dualistic minds. In the Buddha realm there is no distance, no near and far. Wherever sentient beings are suffering, Budddhas and Bodhisattvas will appear. Continuously pledge to abandon that which is non-virtuous and practice that which is virtuous. Lama Achuk Rinpoche is with us continuously, just as he was before, blessing and encouraging us. Everyone, please have absolute faith in the blessing of Lama Rinpoche!
