Message sent by Lobsang Phuntshok (Rinpoche's secretary and cousin) 10th September 2006

Dear All,

Greetings from Kathmandu!

Hope this mail finds you all in the best of your health. I have been requested by Changling Rinpoche to request all Dharma friends and well wishers of Rinpoche and the Lotus Speech Organisations that Rinpoche had requested all to accumulate a few hundred thousand of Seven Line Prayers for the fulfilment of our collective wish to establish the Lotus Speech in our respective countries and also to invite eminent teachers to our places. Please offer Supplication to Guru Rinpoche.

Please kindly circulate this message to all those whom i have missed with my sincerest apologies for the same.

With prayers,

Lobsang Phuntshok
