Cardiac Arrhythmia

A student’s 14-year-old daughter had a potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmia that had been operated on  twice, without success. A third operation was scheduled to try to treat the arrhythmia. A geshe had already advised the student to recite Green Tara mantras and to have Medicine Buddha pujas done at Nalanda and in Nepal. Rinpoche gave the following advice after a lot of checking.

  1. Have the Naga Torma puja (Tib. lü-tor) done at Tushita Meditation Centre. This needs to be done three times; there is one Lama Gyupa who can do it.
  2. The Kopan nuns need to read the Kangyur for your daughter. You can write to Kopan to request this.
  3. Your daughter should recite the White Umbrella deity mantra and prayer every day.
