Advice given to an old student who had serious teeth problems.

Regarding the questions you asked about your teeth problems, the puja which came out was mamo trü kang, to be done by the Kopan Lama Gyupas. This puja is very beneficial and very important.

[One of my attendants] should do jung shi torma [Tib: འབྱུང་བ་བཞི] composed by Padampa Sangye. She is going to do this for you.

The Kopan nuns should read the Diamond Cutter Sutra twice for you. So the sutra can be read for you by a billion nuns, by all the nuns in the world or just a few nuns. Elder nuns can do it—maybe six or three nuns. They can recite the sutra twice for you. If all the nuns in the world read it, then you have to make a big offering, maybe you need to sell your body, speech and mind to one of the Sherpas.

Greetings and prayers from the cows and calves at Lawudo for you.
