Letter from Marian van der Horst-Lem
to her Russian students Hello dear ladies, like everyone on this Earth is everyone involved with the corona-virus, how is that with you? I heard that also in Moscow there are many very ill people, and even many people died. So I think all the try-outs what to do, what is possible, and wise, for the moment it looks that it is impossible to organize something for in future months or even years. Our buddhist centre is totaly closed, and we try to contact with our computers, I-phones to talk and reach each other to keep and stay in connection. I suppose that wil be also in Russia the case. So every thing is insecure, we cannot say then and then we can have that course or meditation-retreats. It is a pity but we can still do many things with prayers and I say the mantra of the Medicine Boeddha Tayath bekantze etc. and think that when I walk with every step a person gets healthy and free of the virus. Let us stay in contact, and see what we finalyn can organize, if not, then it is like it is, karma. Much love and greetings. Please tell you people that we will meet again. Much health, good happiness and trust, I love you all, your Marian. 1st April, 2020 |
