    In November 2005; my Lama, Thubten Zopa Rinpoche asked use to recite extensive prayers for the Bird Flu. Lama Zopa has over 60,000 students associated with 140 international centers (http://www.fpmt.org) who were asked to recite these prayers to overcome the obstacles presented by the threat of the Asian Bird Flu.

    It makes me happy to think that perhaps our efforts and prayers were a small part of this good news. Thank you so much for posting this article.
