I am here in Europe fulfilling a promise I made the last time I was here, to teach and to share. I normally feel very much at ease to be with all of my European students and friends, but of course it doesn't really matter if I feel positive or negative, it's just my own feeling. No one needs to be taking my feeling seriously.

This time, I am very happy to know that almost everyone of my friends and students in Europe has been practising more or less the path of LIVE TO LOVE, and I can tell that they are doing much better in their day to day life. As I have already put up a few things just recently when I was in Plouray, I don't want to bore you all by telling the same old things again and again. But I can't stop sharing with you the truth that I am experiencing now. I think I am that sort of person who likes to share and to be open with how I feel.

I am now in Geneva. just finished giving a public talk, that was a great experience for me. Great in the sense of warmth and loving atmosphere that I could feel. I guess it must have been the positive energy coming from the audience. I usually do not mind how many people are there for the public talk or initiation or retreat. The quality is the thing that I really care about. By "quality", I am referring to the students and friends who must have some sort of interest in the teaching of the Truth and in the development of their own lifestyle through the skills of the spiritual path that is shown clearly in the teachings of Lord Buddha, or simply the authentic spiritual path.

Because of the people's genuine interest in developing a happy life filled with love, I am having a great time here in Switzerland. I shall be leaving tomorrow for Grenoble, where I usually feel very much at home. But let's see what it looks like this time, because everything changes according to one's own projections. I really believe this very strongly so that I do not feel too attached to any of the things that I come across in this world, and yet I enjoy the beautiful atmosphere that my friends and students create for me, or rather for everybody. I am also trying my best to provide this same thing for others, and I feel very satisfied when I manage to do so.

Whenever I feel that I can make others genuinely happy, this is when I truly feel great about myself. Is this a form of pride that is caused by ego or a genuine joy that we normally lack in our day to day life? I don't know exactly what to say, but I am working on it and that is actually my homework. I don't dislike competition, but I don't like it when people destroy each other because of competition. Competition can be positive and helpful for everyone if it is done with genuine love and encouragement, in the sense that by competing, everyone progresses in the positive way. If there should be competition, then we all should be competing how much love we have, how many beings we can make happy, how much progress we are making on our spiritual path? All these things are just my normal gossips.

Well, one thing I can't stop thinking about is to have my dog, Nigu, with me again. She is coming from Mexico and arriving in Grenoble tomorrow, waiting for me. She had a very nice time in Mexico with my lovely students and friends. They had given her every treatment that she could possibly need for her health and her future journey with me.

I really wish I can save and help all the beings in the similar way quite soon. I know there are countless of poor beings out there who need our help, but due to our limited resources, we should be working in the smart way, rather than the hard way.

From Grenoble, we will be going to south of France. I hope it will be a little warmer there. In fact, I'd rather stay in cold weather. I truly love the winter in Europe, so does Drubpon Ngawang. But from where I am now, I can see from the way people on the street are dressing and acting that they seem to be suffering quite a bit. For me, the colder the better. Anyway, before I begin to write more about the weather in Europe, which has nothing to do with many of you out there, I'd better say goodbye now.

By the way, all the photos here are from Ewa of Poland, until I receive photos from other people, I only have hers to show. Maybe when I have time again, I will share some of the photos in my web later on.
