Rinpoche gave the following advice for the future lives and karma of a benefactor who had passed away.

Rinpoche did prayers last night for the deceased with the abbot of Kopan Monastery and 11 Tantric College monks. Prayers and tsa-tsas of Medicine Buddha and other deities have also been done for her good rebirth by the nuns at Rinpoche’s residence.

Rinpoche has checked and further things have to be done. These are:

  • Statues of Vajrapani and also Padmasambhava have to be made.
  • Reading of the Kangyur by Bati Kangtshen.
  • Recitation of the names of the 100,000 buddhas (Sangye sem bhum). Rinpoche and five other monks will do this.
  • Writing of the Prajnaparamita in gold.
