Dear Venerable Mingxin,

I would like to receive guidance for my meditation practice. I have been practicing [describe your current practice: e.g., 'twenty minutes of breath meditation most mornings' / 'mostly informal mindfulness during daily activities' / 'loving-kindness practice for the past six months'].

Lately I have been experiencing [describe any specific challenges, experiences, or intentions: 'a great deal of restlessness and future-planning thoughts' / 'a deep calm during sitting that disappears the moment I stand up' / 'strong grief and anger surfacing' / 'a wish to develop more compassion toward a difficult person in my life'].

Please offer a focused, practical meditation instruction or reflection theme tailored to where I am right now. If it would be helpful, include a short guided sequence I can use in today's sitting or walking practice, along with any post-practice reflections that might be skillful.

Thank you for your patience with this wandering mind. I am here to learn.

With a bow,
[Your name]
