The following practices need to be done:
- Naga puja (lü tor): five times
- Tea offering to the Eight Classes (Degyä)
This advice was given to a builder who had very bad back pain. Rinpoche said it was caused by nagas.
The following practices need to be done:
A student asked what could be done for chronic pain in their entire body. Rinpoche advised these practices to purify life obstacles.
My most dear one,
I checked and I need to do some pujas for you:
Also:
The dedication is to purify all your life obstacles, and also, of course, for His Holiness and all the holy being,s and for all the Sangha to preserve the Dharma teachings. Also for people who do good things for others and even for those people who do bad things, for example, butchers, to change their mind and for them to abandon negative karma.
With much love and prayers ...
A student had many health problems, joint pain, gut pain and difficulty walking. Rinpoche advised these pujas.
Pujas will be more effective than medicine.
A student wrote that she had sustained injuries from several falls. The first time she bruised or fractured a rib, then she fell again and hurt her back, and then she slipped and dislocated her knee. Rinpoche gave this advice.
The first technique, it is good to think, "I have not recovered!"
A second technique is to think, "This is how it is in samsara; it never ends."
Another way to think, “Hopefully the last fall will be at Rinpoche’s house when I come to see him.” [The student lived nearby.]
In the meantime, ask Geshe-la to do Drugchuma puja either at your house or if he can't manage that, then he can do it at his house. You don’t have to be there.
At least once a day recite the Thirty-five Buddhas practice. Do this for the children as well, and dedicate, not just for children at the school you work at, but for all the children!
With much love and prayer ...
A student had a problem with his spinal cord, buttock and legs. A blood vessel had compressed the nerves in his spinal cord, causing weakness and numbness in his legs. Both legs were numb, however, the right foot was worse.
My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling one,
I am very sorry for the long delay in replying to your email. I checked and if you can, do the following:
The dedication will be for you to quickly recover and to have a most meaningful, healthy life—most meaningful by generating bodhicitta as well as emptiness—and to never ever be reborn in lower realms again and to achieve enlightenment as quickly as possible.
I am also making many prayers for you.
With much love and prayers ...
A student had a painful hip for many weeks and was unable to walk due to the pain. Rinpoche checked, with many mos, and advised these practices.
It seems you are receiving harm from nagas. This has to be cleared, otherwise medical treatment will not have much benefit.
I have done a number of pujas and prayers to Tara and so forth. I will also recite White Umbrella deity [Tib: du kar] prayer for you and do Drugchuma puja [Skt: Kalarupa] twice.
