+The great yogi Shabkar Tsogdruk Rangdrol replies to a Losar Day request from
+his disciple Depa Wangpo on what to adopt and what to reject regarding
+attitude and conduct...
+
+    Don’t harm your friends and neighbors; help them.
+    Don’t be stingy; use your wealth for offerings and charity.
+    Don’t let your body be idle; do prostrations and circumambulations.
+    Don’t let your mouth be idle; recite the mani mantra.
+    Always have pure thoughts towards others.
+
+    In brief, keeping Death in mind, practice the sacred Dharma.
+    Give up doing wrong, and do what is wholesome.
+    Whatever happiness and sufferings you undergo,
+    Regard them as the result of previous actions.
+    Always act in accord with the Dharma.
+    Even though I may be far away,
+    These instructions will remain like my very presence.
+    Keep them in mind!
