A student had a problem with her immune system, a lack of white blood cells and defective lymphocytes. She had received intravenous infusions of antibodies every 28 days in the previous year and would continue that for another year. She had great difficulty doing any practice and requested advice on how to overcome these obstacles.

My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling one,
I received your letter and checked regarding your question. If you can:

Do these practices with bodhicitta, to free the numberless sentient beings from the oceans of samsaric sufferings and bring them to enlightenment. Think, “For that reason I must achieve full enlightenment, therefore I am going to practice.”

Also:

  • Take three mani pills a day for nine days.
  • Ratna-samphel pills: nine pills. You can’t expose the pills to the sun and that is why they are covered in cloth. When you take them, cut the cloth and put the whole pill in your mouth and then pull out the cloth. Take four days’ break between taking the pills.

So please try these.

With much love and prayers...
