Epilepsy Due to Brain Tumor

Rinpoche sent the following advice to a student who had epilepsy because of a tumor in his brain. He had had no seizures in ten years, but the seizures had just started again.

My very dear one,
Thank you very much for your very kind letter.

I checked regarding your questions and you should practice Vajrapani Hayagriva Garuda practice [mantra: OM VAJRAPANI HAYAGRIVA GARUDA HUM PHET]. Please recite six malas a day, with meditation. If you haven't received any great initiation then you should visualize the deity in front of you and still do the meditation and recitation. If you have received a great initiation then you can still visualize the deity in front, and then generate yourself as the deity.

I am very sorry that I did not meet you when I visited your country, but hope to meet you next time.

I am making prayers for you and I also have asked the Sangha in my house to dedicate animal liberations and the making of long life tsa-tsas for you.

With much love and prayers...
