Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Publisher's Acknowledgements
We are extremely grateful to our friends and supporters who have made it possible for the
Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive to both exist and function: Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa
Rinpoche, whose kindness is impossible to repay; Peter and Nicole Kedge and Venerable
Ailsa Cameron for their initial work on the Archive; Venerable Roger Kunsang, Rinpoche’s
tireless assistant, for his kindness and consideration; and our sustaining supporters—
Christine Arlington, Roger and Claire Ash-­Wheeler, Tom and Suzanne Castles, Nick and
Gisela Dawson, Richard Gere, Goh Pik Pin, Annelies van der Heijden and Annette van
Citters, Barry and Connie Hershey, Dr. S.T. Lee, Ho Sau Ling, Therese Miller, Janet Moore,
Ven. Gyalten Palmo, Erick Rinner, Tham Poon King, Thubten Yeshe, Yeshe Khorlo
Foundation, and several anonymous benefactors.
With respect to Sun of Devotion, Stream of Blessings, in late 2014 I received a call from
Ven. Roger that Rinpoche would like his recent teachings in England published soon. So
Gordon got to work and produced a manuscript not long after, and after Sandy Smith’s final
polish, here it is. Thank you Gordon and Sandy for your great work.
Thanks are also due to Rajiv Mehrotra of the Foundation for Universal Responsibility of His
Holiness the Dalai Lama and Ashok Chopra of Hay House Publishers India for permission
to use the line drawing of the wheel of life from The End of Suffering and the Discovery of
Happiness: The Path of Tibetan Buddhism, by H.H. the Dalai Lama.
We are also deeply grateful to all those who have become members of the Archive over the
past few years. Details of our membership program may be found at the back of this book,
and if you are not a member, please do consider joining up. Due to the kindness of those
who have, we now have several editors working on our vast collection of teachings for the
benefit of all. We have posted our list of individual and corporate members on our website,
LamaYeshe.com.
Furthermore, we would like to express our appreciation for the kindness and compassion of
all those other generous benefactors who have contributed since we began publishing free
books. Thankfully, you are too numerous to mention individually, but we value highly each
and every donation made to spreading the Dharma for the sake of the kind mother sentient
beings and greatly appreciate the support of those who partner with us in this amazing and
beneficial work. Thank you so much.
Finally, I would like to thank the many other kind people who have asked that their
donations be kept anonymous; my wife, Wendy Cook, for her support and editing skills; our
dedicated office staff, Jennifer Barlow and Ven. Ani Tenzin Desal; our editors Ven. Ailsa
Cameron, Ven. Sarah Thresher, Ven. Connie Miller, Gordon McDougall and Sandy Smith;
Ven. Kunsang for recording Lama Zopa Rinpoche; our transcribers Ven. Thubten Munsel,
Diana van Die, Mer Stafford, Su Hung and Pat Lee; our social media and e-­publishing
manager Megan Evart; Ven. Bob Alcorn for his work on our videos; David Zinn for his
digital imaging expertise; FPMT Australia for help with our distribution in Australia, and
Amitabha Buddhist Centre and Losang Dragpa Centre for their help with our distribution in
Singapore and Malaysia respectively; and everybody else who helps us in so many ways.
Thank you all.
