Impaired Heart Function

Date of Advice:
Date Posted:

A student wrote that their heart was functioning at thirty-five percent and doctors had prescribed a short course of medication to see if it would improve without invasive treatment. Rinpoche offered this advice. 

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

I checked regarding your health and these Tibetan medicines came out [as beneficial].

What came out is:

  • Thirty-seven aids to enlightenment: Three pills a week for four weeks.
  • Four mani pills each day.
  • Four gurgum precious pills in one week, so one pill every two days for four weeks.

Prajnaparamita, the elaborate, middle-length and short texts: to be recited three times by the monks from Pokhara, Nepal.

With much love and prayers ...
