I would like to take this moment to address my many students across the world. I have mentioned many students in different countries. Spain and Columbia are included among those. It has been a long time since I have been able to see you all, especially those of you in Singapore and Malaysia. We have been physically separated for a long time, and if I had to call each of you on the phone it would be difficult. I want to take this opportunity now that I have all of you together to express special wishes. We may be physically separated, but my mind is with you always. I want to say a special prayer for all of you:
May masters and disciples be never separated, always together.
May our lives be as long and stable as the Earth.
May our learning, contemplation, and meditation be unceasing.
May all be auspicious for happiness and Dharma to flourish.
