To the students and all those connected with the Karma Thegsum Choling-New Jersey;

Through the website, I would like to offer this letter wishing you Tashi Delek and also expressing my happiness for the many Dharma activities you have previously accomplished and also for celebrating my birthday, all of which will help to spread the teaching of Buddhism.

Further, you now have plans to establish a Dharma center, and when you can follow through with them. It is certain that it will become a place where faithful Dharma students from the area will gather together.

I sincerely pray that you remain in excellent health, that your practice flourishes, and that we will meet very soon.
