Thank you for finding me

Rama, thank you for your life and your death! You were an amazing example of perfection, nobility, strength, grace and Enlightenment to us all. Thank you for the lifetimes that I longed to be with you again as a student on the pathway to Enlightenment, and thank you for finding me and guiding me in this lifetime. You are the greatest American master that has ever existed!

When you found me, I was unhappy and lost. I felt an incredible emptiness in my life. I had succeeded in many things in my life, but the prospects for the future were, at best, mediocre. Rama, you taught me to listen to myself, to believe in my abilities, and to strive for nothing but the best in myself and in my life. You showed me my eternal spirit through meditation and took me on countless bright and beautiful inward journeys. You were there for me in my every need, to clarify my confusion, to illuminate my path, and to teach me how to love completely.

Rama, because of your correction, direction and guidance, I am totally successful and happy in my day-to-day life, too. You introduced me to software, business, scuba diving, martial arts, and to the great beauty of life. I now have my own software company and earn nearly half a million dollars per year. I live in a beautiful place, drive a luxury car and travel to exotic places regularly. You made me strong, and taught me about grace and respect. You showed me my potential and helped me to realize it. I am in my mid-twenties, and the future only looks brighter from here.

How incredible it is that you have touched so many other people in much the same way! As an expression of my gratitude I dedicate my life to you by seeking Enlightenment wholeheartedly and by spreading the dharma to others. You never asked for more from me. In your honor, I will fulfill this destiny.
