Treat girl as a mother if she is older than you.
Treat girl as a sister if she is same age of you.
Treat girl as a sister if she is younger than you.
I treat all girls as mothers and sisters.
Don't you ?

"Yudra Nyingpo was a prince of Gyalmo Tsawe Rong (Gyarong) in Eastern Tibet. In Gyarong, Yudra Nyingpo received teachings from Vairocana, who was exiled in the area for a certain period of time. Studying with Vairocana, Yudra Nyingpo became a great scholar and translator. Later he traveled to Central Tibet and received teachings from Guru Rinpoche and he became one of the greatest masters of semde and longde teachings of Dzogpa Chenpo in Tibet."
"The earliest lists of titles of the Thirteen Later Translations are found in the writings of the twelfth century treasure revealer Nyang Ral Nyi ma 'od zer. He gives two lists, one in his Zangs gling ma biography of Padmasambhava, and the other in his religious history, the Me tog snying po. There are significant differences between the two lists, however, and subsequent lists drawn up by various authors also show marked variations, symptomatic of continuing fluidity in the composition of this group of texts."

Paro Taktsang (Dzongkha: སྤ་གྲོ་སྟག་ཚང་ spa phro stag tshang / spa gro stag tshang) is the popular name for Taktsang Palphug Monastery (also known as Tiger's Nest), a prominent Himalayan Buddhist sacred site and temple complex located on the cliffside of the upper Paro valley in Bhutan. The temple complex was first built in 1692 around the Taktsang Senge Samdup (stag tshang seng ge bsam grub) cave, where Guru Padmasambhava is said to have meditated for three years, three months, three weeks, three days, and three hours in the 8th century. Padmasambhava is credited with introducing Buddhism to Bhutan. Today, Paro Taktsang is the best-known of the thirteen taktsang or “tiger lair” caves where he meditated.
I feel the longing to share thoughts and observations from my recent trip to Paro Taktsang. Anyone who visits will know the basic rules and regulations. I am trying to help those planning a visit understand what to expect.
You can go in informal clothing, but you may not get the opportunity to enter the sacred areas. To fully experience the temple and view the sacred statues, it is best to wear formal attire (national dress: gho for men and kira for women). Police at the entrance thoroughly check visitors—whether you are wearing the national dress and whether you are carrying a camera or mobile phone. They are lenient with foreigners, but cameras and mobile phones are still not allowed inside.
Timing is important too. Visits are not completely flexible—you cannot enter whenever you wish. The monastery usually closes from 1 to 2 pm for lunch. I wondered why they close for lunch—it’s not a shop or office, but a fortress with sacred statues that have been preserved for centuries for pilgrims.
If you have the chance, make the visit. It is unforgettable.

| With father and mother of sealed fate. |
Dear Apa and Ama,
This is your son, Jigme Zangpo, writing to express gratitude for having done many meritorious things for me.
I feel great when I am near my parents. The happiest moment was when they came to Phuntsholing last time and celebrated the Meeting of the Nine Evils (ngenpa guzom) at Threma Lhakhang together with the family. Thank you, dad and mom, for coming all the way to meet us.
I know that more than anyone, I know the love and care they need at this stage. I assure you, I will never let you feel upset with your son.
I am very much thankful to have two parents that will, paradoxically, scold me in a loving way. No one knows you better than your parents. They know how to talk to you, give you the right advice, and tell you not to make the mistakes they made.
I am thankful to have two parents that will support me in anything I do.
Basically, I’m thankful for having two loving and supportive people who I will always love with all of my heart.
Thank you apa and ama for nurturing me. It is owing to your effort that I can stand in front of a crowd proudly.
And Kadrinche for coming back from Thimphu to celebrate ChungNgepa Losar at Phuntsholing.
With love and affection,
Your son
