Those who supported or took interest in this project of BWI will be happy to know that more than 60 participants at the 2007 Monlam Prayer Festival in Golok were able to use this book to participate in the five day program. Every participant was handed a personal copy by the Abbot presiding over the festival, Ven. Hung Kar Dorje Rinpoche. Another 20 books were distributed to community members in Seattle; 40 more in the Bay Area and San Jose; 60 in Southern California; 10 in Colorado; 20 in Houston, Texas; 20 more in the New York Area, and so forth. Snow Lion signed on as a distributor, and KTD Monastery in Woodstock has taken delivery of three boxes so far. The public has ordered many copies by internet order from the BWI website.

The first printing of 250 was exhausted, and the second printing of 120 copies is nearly finished as well. Many centers and teachers around the world were offered copies of the book, as illustrated by this offering made recently to Tulku Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche. The feedback has been very encouraging. For example, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche wrote to say "thank you for a job well done," and that he was “very pleased” with the results.

We are delighted that the entire book will soon be produced in a trilingual (English; Tibetan; Vietnamese) version through the singular efforts of Dat Duong in San Diego. May it be auspicious!
