— Even if someone has only one day left to live, even only one hour left, they still have an incredible opportunity to make the human body-which they have received just this one time-most beneficial. —

Success Stories
Bryan, Colorado State Prison:
I am an inmate in the
Colorado State Prison System. I have a friend that just got out on parole.
The guy was corresponding with someone from your organization. He said
it was a Buddhist nun from your organization.
I knew this guys for three years. When I met him he was angry all the time and getting in a lot of fights. About 2 years ago he started following Buddhist teachings. I did not ask him about it. But over the last 18 months I saw him change a lot. He is more peaceful, relaxed and friendly. Part of that was because of the correspondence with your organization and one of your nuns.
