Child With Brain Tumor

Child With Brain Tumor

Rinpoche received a request for advice regarding a child who was very ill with a brain tumor and had recently completed chemo and radiation therapy. The tumor had reduced in size, but the boy's condition had subsequently deteriorated. The student asked Rinpoche to check if any more pujas could be done for the boy.

I checked regarding the little boy and the following have to be done as soon as possible:

1. Liberate a minimum of 300 animals. It would be better if it were 1,000 animals. When you liberate the animals take them around holy objects first.

2. On the next Tibetan 8th day of the month, ask an artist to start painting or drawing White Tara in the early morning. The point is to complete as much as possible of the painting of White Tara on the same day. If it can also be blessed on that day by one of the lamas, that would be best.

3. Do the long Medicine Buddha puja, with extensive offerings.

4. I will send you one very precious pill.
