A Thank you letter for Mipham Rinpoche from His Holiness Gyalwa Karmapa

Dear dharma friends,

As most of you will be aware, a few weeks ago my father suddenly fell very ill and had to be hospitalised in a critical state. At that time I asked all of you to practice White Tara for my father and dedicate the merit to him.

Since then I have received countless messages of support and encouragement, and hundreds of practitioners have assured me that following my request they did accumulations of the mantra of White Tara, as well as other practices for my father.In the meantime, while he is still far from well, my father´s state of health has slightly improved, and I hope that in time he will make a full recovery. I would like to thank each and every one of you for your support, wishes, prayers and good thoughts at this important time of my life – you have my heartfelt gratitude.I would now like to call upon all of you to extend your wishes and prayers to the victims of the natural disasters that have struck in different parts of the world over the last few weeks, in particular the devastating floods that have ravaged large parts of India and Europe, claiming thousands of lives and rendering tens of thousands homeless.I will dedicate my practice and merit to all those afflicted by these calamities, and I would ask all of you to do the same.With prayers,
Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje
