Practices for Brain Damage

Practices for Brain Damage

Date Posted:
November 2012

A student wrote to Rinpoche about a brain scan which showed brain damage, possibly from multiple minor strokes. She asked Rinpoche if there were practices she could do.

I checked and you have some life obstacles this year. It is important to do these things:

  • Recite the Amitayus Long Life Sutra: 63 times
  • Do White Tara long-life meditation. If you can, recite the White Tara mantra 40,000 times; but if you can do more, it is better.
  • Liberate 200 animals. This can be done at the center with others; you need to follow my instructions on how to do this. I will also liberate animals for you, as well.
  • I will post you five long-life pills from Khadro-la, which are very, very precious.
  • Gyab-shi puja: by the Kopan Lama Gyupas.
  • Mamo-trü-kang puja: by the Kopan Lama Gyupas.
  • Vajra Cutter Sutra: 100 recitations. This can be done by you and others at the center. I will also recite some for you.

With much love and prayers and please let me know how things are...
