(Written and inspired by the joy of HH Dalai Lama's 86th birthday.)
An excerpt: "Things are going well for me, Mother.  I am in good health and enthusiastic in my work.  Intellectual, imaginative, stimulating, virtuous and joyous is this path; I am profoundly appreciative to you for providing me with the life force that has enabled me to journey upon it.   
Always I am reminded of the precious foundations of well-being and confidence your love and compassion birthed in me, and which have continued to blossom with purpose and clarity in the years since.  For you, dear one, my enduring gratitude . . . " (Length: 12 minutes)
