A student with breast cancer asked about taking specific medicine and what she could do for the cancer.

My most dear, most kind, precious, wish-fulfilling one,
I am very sorry for the long delay in replying to your email. I checked and there is a small benefit in taking the medication. Don’t take Tibetan medicine with it.

Recite the prayer The Dharani Called “Possessing the Attributes of All the Buddhas". Recite this well every day, in your mind thinking of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and other holy beings—for them to not take the karma. Pray for sentient beings to be healthy—those who do good things for others, who benefit others, and even for evil beings to practice, to create good karma and not create negative karma, and to have meaningful lives.

Please make your life most meaningful with the thought of bodhicitta day and night and in every action you do.

With much love and prayers...
