INSPIRATIONS FROM
INMATES
“I’m not always an
emotional person as far as letting my feelings
show. My past lifestyle required that I never
let nobody get close, or at no time let anyone
know what I was feeling. However, in the past
few months, after reading the many wonderful and
knowledgeable books that you have sent me, I’m
becoming more aware of myself and of other
people more each day. And I’ve been
experiencing feelings that I had all but
forgotten.
“When I got your letter a few weeks ago,
something happened to me that I never would have
dreamed possible. As I started to read your
letter, I felt a warmth come over me as I have
never felt before. As I read on, I noticed my
hand was shaking and I kept having trouble
seeing, and my face felt like it was on fire.
So I started to rub my eyes, and it was only
then that I realized that I had tears in my
eyes.” (F.V.)
“Words can’t express
how beneficial the teachings have been to me. I
used to harbor resentments against people and
let the circumstances in life give me a negative
attitude. I know now that I have a choice –
bitterness or wisdom. I choose the latter ...
We can let the circumstances of our lives harden
us and make us increasingly resentful and
afraid, or we can let them soften us and make us
kinder.” (M.C.)
“I have been in
touch with the Ratna Foundation for three
years... The gift of wisdom I received by and
through your books and study courses is very
difficult to define ... The support you have
given me is beyond friendship, it is the symbol
of kindness and love.” (C.B.)
