‘Dear Students of Manchester Mahayana Buddhist Centre:
Thank you very much for your letter. I am glad to hear that your centre is growing well and I think it is a good idea for you to establish the Centre as an independent centre within the New Kadampa Tradition.
I think that the Centre can be called: Vairochana Buddhist Centre
With much love and many prayers.
