Advice for New Students and Prisoners

In August Rinpoche wrote a long (16 page) letter to one prisoner, a new Buddhist, who had just been given his date for execution in 3 months' time, this advice from Rinpoche was given over 5 days.

This is a fabulous resource for us all: for new students, as Rinpoche clearly explains many of the key concepts of Buddhism, such as reincarnation, the mind, the benefit of living in morality; for Rinpoche's students, as Rinpoche includes many personal recollections; and for students working with prisoners, as Rinpoche talks in depth about the benefits of being in prison.
