Prayer Request

Back from a lightning trip to the Gobi and my computer and I are at odds, i.e. I want it to work and it refuses. Glad my cats aren't parrots and able to repeat the decidedly unmonkly epithets I've hurled at it.

So, while I wait on the techno-witchdoctor to shake his rattles over it, I've got a favor to ask of you all. I've become increasingly close to the amazing Chantsal Egch, about whom I'm still reluctant to say much. Suffice for now to say she's the real thing, powerful in ways that most people wouldn't believe even if I told them what I'd seen with my own eyes. But I had her over recently and she said a very curious thing. "I find it quite easy to help total strangers," she told me, "but I find that it's unusually difficult to help those in my immediate family."

She then went on to relate the terrible problems being experienced by her eldest son, Khurelbaatar, who's currently living with his wife in Russia. She beseeched me to help. My toolbox is pretty limited, so of course I immediately passed the request on to my lamas. But I also know the power of sustained, focused compassionate attention. So I'm asking all of you, please pray for the obstacles in Khurelbaatar's life to be totally removed. Chantsal has been so kind to me and those close to me; this is the least I can do for her. Here is Khurelbaatar, not the greatest picture, but it's all I've got:

Thank you so much.

I have had serious depression from i was little. I am now 29 years old, but i am still afflicted with it. I cannot sleep because of it. my mother and i cannot get along because of it and so too my father. I am scared because I don't know what is going to happen to me.I have always been able to deal with the depression by myself however I was part of a situation that went bad last year and i,ve been trying to mentally deal with it for a year now. This has only added fuel to the fire and it is making my life a living hell. The depression and social problems caused me not to be able to relate to girls and girls not to be able to relate to me and that is why at this moment and on many occasions, i have not had a girlfriend. I cannot sleep at nights, it is affecting me physically as well.People don’t understand me, they think i am evil. please pray that my mother and father will understand me because they don’t, neither does anybody else. I want to be understood. Please PRAY for me
