Message from Patrul Rinpoche
Written by Patrul Rinpoche, 28 October 2012 – Letter About the Winter Retreat 2012
If you ask me what I am currently concerned about, I would say that I am deeply concerned about the teachings of the Buddha. The Buddha’s teachings are very, very important for everybody. They are useful not only for us, but beneficial and very important for all sentient beings.

Simplicity Itself
I wonder what the differences are between momentary nature, neutral nature, path nature and ground nature. It is important to investigate their meaning even though it is difficult to express. When I do try to meditate on them, my mind becomes even-minded, a sort of compassionate mind, because all my disturbing emotions become exhausted in momentary nature and my mind is clear and sharp, and pervaded by its own nature. What do you think about all this?
I think it is simplicity itself. I think it is self-liberation. I think it is not dependent on anything else. I think it is self-rebirth without any conditions. I think it is self-cause, self-condition and self-effect with no need for cause and no need for condition. I think it is self-effortless self-liberation, self-brought happiness everywhere.
Now is the time
Your mind is spinning around
About carrying out a lot of useless projects:
It’s a waste! Give it up!
Thinking about the hundred plans you want to accomplish,
With never enough time to finish them,
Just weighs down your mind.
You’re completely distracted
By all these projects, which never come to an end,
But keep spreading out more, like ripples in water.
Don’t be a fool: for once, just sit tight.
The Black Guru Rinpoche Statues Project
The black diamond-carved Guru Rinpoche statues, which contain iron beads, relics and scriptures, can last for hundreds of years in outdoor environment. According to Guru Rinpoche’s prediction, they can be placed on mountains, rivers or caves, in lakes or in the ocean around the world to suppress and resolve various disasters and wars, liberating all sentient beings in the six realms into Buddhahood.
