Dear friends,

yet a new year is gone, evaporated it seems. Again, we find ourselves at the end of a year and are full of good resolutions.

I am asking you to please  deepen your resolutions, to orient them to the important things of life and not exchange them with diverting pleasures.

Life is short. Our current deeds, words and thoughts make our future birth.

Our knowledge of impermanence should not be theoretical but a living matter of heart. Something that should be even closer to our hearts than all the neurosis that seem to blow us from moment to moment.

The decision is in our hands. Our present is in our hands.  Our future is in our hands.

Let’s take the solm decision to follow our sacred example, Tathagatha, our beloved masters, from the depths of our hearts, wholeheartedly and continously.

With prayers,

Chöje Lama Palmo
