A student felt mentally numb and was unable to focus, comprehend or retain memory of their Dharma studies. They sought mental clarity and asked Rinpoche if there was any form of disturbance.

My most dear, most kind, most precious wish-fulfilling one,

Thank you for your email. I am sorry for the long delay in replying.

For your head numbness and what you expressed, you need to request Geshe-la to do lü dang sadag gi don drol puja [Liberating from the harm of naga and landlord].

You need to recite Chanting the Names of Manjushri twice, with bodhicitta motivation.

Also recite the mantra taught by Buddha Droden Gyälwa Chö twenty-one times a day. You can find this mantra in the daily motivation The Method to Transform a Suffering Life into Happiness (Including Enlightenment).

OM HRIYADHE SARWA TATHAGATA HRIDAYA GARBHE / DZOLA DHARMADHATU GARBHE / SANG HARANA AYUH SANGSHODHAYA / PAPAM SARWA TATHAGATA SAMENDRA USHNIKHA BIMALE BISHUDDHE SWAHA

This is my advice for you at this time. Please make your life most meaningful with the thought of bodhicitta day and night and in every action you do.

With much love and prayers ...
