Student: I'm writing to you with a request for Lama Zopa Rinpoche regarding my husband, who has developed some worrying and unclear problems with his brain functions after we suspect being given the wrong type of medication. He has been unable to work for about a year, and I am finally turning to my beloved guru for advice, and possibly a mo about the true nature of the situation. If nothing can be done, at least we'll know. If there are any practices that would help, it would be wonderful.

Rinpoche's Response

My dear one,
I checked and this is the result of naga harm, this is the condition. The real cause is harm done to others in the past, the root of which is ignorance of ultimate truth. There are deities who manifest to protect sentient beings, so, to keep it simple, use this particular deity for purification: Vajra Armor. This is for your husband to do.

The practice is attached (Vajra Armor and Vajrapani, Hayagriva, Garuda). They can be done very simply (mantra and visualization) or according to the sadhana.

For Vajra Armor deity, visualize the deity in front and recite the mantra. Visualize blissful healing energy going into the body purifying the affected area, disease, spirit harm, negative karma, and obstacles. Do it also for others who are sick and in general for all other sentient beings. Have a strong motivation of compassion.

Also, chant Vajrapani Hayagriva Garuda mantra after doing the above practice, a few malas each time. This is also a very powerful purification practice.
