….I asked Salim to teach the Dharma here in Indonesia and he has been doing that for many years. He did this very well…..There were thirty or forty young sincere devoted intelligent students. Here the students are intelligent and have a good heart, so I was very happy… Salim taught so many different texts…The students not only learn the words of Buddhadharma but also put it into practice. This is what Salim Lee’s main emphasis is, not just to know the text whereby the mind becomes very stubborn like a stone under the ocean for thousands of years yet water does not enter inside, or like a hot desert in which nothing grows, the mind without loving kindness, without compassion, without devotion, like a hot desert. So he emphasizes to put this into practice so I am very happy.

(Lama Zopa Rinpoche, during dinner event, 7 Feb 2010)

Pusat-pusat Dharma (centers) mempunyai cara-cara yang berbeda dalam melayani Rinpoche. Rinpoche sangat senang dengan cara di Indonesia karena mereka banyak mempraktikkannya. Sesungguhnya dengan praktik meraka, itu yang membuat Rinpoche berumur panjang.

It is unbelievable to see all your devotion and sincerity; it is so pure and so true. I deeply rejoice for the greatest merit you all accumulated.

To all my beautiful friends at Potowa Centre,
I thank you all from the very bottom of my heart for all your many beautiful precious and exquisite kindnesses you showed to myself and all my fellow monks and nuns during our stay in Jakarta. Also, a special million thanks for taking care of me during my time of sickness, for trying to make me eat when nothing has furthest from my mind and for finally coming with a box of mashed potato - what a jackpot! I wish u all much joy and happiness in the year ahead and much fulfillment and bliss in your Dharma practice. Until we meet again. Much love,

… Indonesia is an auspicious place where Lama Atisha studied and Guru devotion of the students here are very good and that’s why Rinpoche gives the teaching of Lama Chopa Commentary in Potowa which is a very precious teaching….

“Kalian luar biasa dan kami sangat terima kasih karena kalian take care kita dengan begitu baik… dari makanan hingga sediakan taksi….”
(Anggota Sangha)

Kalian mengorganisir acara ini dengan baik, tidak heran kalau di luar negeri Rinpoche selalu menyebutkan Potowa Centre. Kalian saling melayani, saling peduli, saling membantu, dll. Bagaimana kalian bisa melakukan semua ini secara kompak?

(Anggota Sangha)

….we are on the way to the airport…. Thank you very much for the beautiful smiles and warm heart…. I will always remember the beautiful people of Indonesia. A heartfelt thanks for you…. May all your wished come true! Happy new year to you and your loved ones.

Para Sangha mengatakan bahwa mereka sangat berterima kasih pada semua murid di Potowa yang telah merawat mereka dan membantu mereka dengan sangat baik dan mereka mengatakan sangat terbantu karena bisa mendengar teaching dengan baik dan bisa konsentrasi tanpa harus memikirkan transportasi!
(Catatan dari Panitia)

Para Anggota Sangha banyak yang memberikan kembali offering yang kita berikan kepada mereka. Ada yang memberikan kembali untuk biaya cetak materi-materi Dharma. Ada yang offer kembali untuk biaya sewa ruangan di Hotel Santika dan kegiatan center lainnya.

(Catatan dari Panitia)

Saya ingat Om Salim selalu mengingatkan kita bahwa dalam mengurus para Sangha dan Rinpoche jangan dibedakan. Kita harus hati-hati dengan pikiran kita. Saya berbincang-bincang dengan anggota Sangha tentang bagaimana Om Salim mengajarkan kita bahwa hidup spiritual dan hidup sehari-hari jangan dibedakan, dan juga Om mengajarkan dan memberikan contoh dalam mempraktikkan Sepuluh Kushalakarma dalam hidup sehari-hari, ‘Jangan menggunakan tilpon kantor untuk bergosip atau bicara hal-hal pribadi atau menggunakan fasilitas kantor untuk kebutuhan pribadi, termasuk untuk Dharma karena itu adalah mencuri. Untuk Dharma harus “pure.” Ketika berbincang-bincang mengenai ini, saya melihat mata salah satu anggota Sangha berkaca-kaca, hampir mengeluarkan air mata, dan beliau berkata, “Saya juga harus berhati-hati.”
