Dear Niki

I have commented on your Substack in the past & shared with you that we are close in age. I told you how very much l enjoy hearing about your unusual life in the monastery in such a faraway land.

Of course, reading this recent article you just shared brings me great concern & worry for what you are currently experiencing.

The older l become the more l realize that we all truly have very little control over what happens to us in this material world. The only thing we can influence is our REACTIONS to what we experience.

Maintain your dignity. Use your best judgment. Trust your gut instincts. Keep your honor & values strong in your heart. Keep a soft smile on your lips. Remember tomorrow always comes. This too shall pass.

I will pray for your safety & peace of mind. I hope you can very soon return to your monastery & the dear children. I wish l could do more. Please keep us updated on how things progress.

Again, you will be in my thoughts & prayers!

Dear Laurie, don't worry. I am calm and using this time for resting and studying Tibetan.

Thank you for your prayers, they are important!

I will write more now, becouse I have more time and I am less tired.

Have a good day 😊

Niki

Well, I am not in good physical condition, I will try to stay in the nunnery in India if possible. If those nasty people will not create problems. My monastery is ok, they are nice and honest, sometimes a little naive. I think that they never met such evil people before.

Do not go back, please! The world is full of children you can love and help, not if you are dead!!!

Yla, my monastery is ok. Just those foreigners are bad, and I am sure that my monks will understand their bad intentions. You are a dear ❤️
