A student’s mother had a tumor in her intestine. Rinpoche checked and advised these practices.

My very dear mother,
Thank you very much for your kind letter, I am sorry for the many eons delay in replying.

I checked regarding your health, and this is what came out:

  1. The Kopan nuns should read the Arya Sanghata Sutra twice. This is for your health. Make sure to give your name for dedications so they can dedicate for you to have a quick recovery and a meaningful life. This is the main thing to dedicate for, but of course they can dedicate for other sentient beings, for anybody who needs this.
  1. Geshe-la should read chab trü for you, twice. Mention to Geshe-la that this is coming from my advice. If he doesn’t have the text, I can send to him, and he can do it based on whichever deity retreat he has done, generating as the deity and blessing you.
  1. Your daughter should recite Vajra Claws (Dorje Dermo) four times for you. She should do it with bodhicitta, of course.
  1. If you can request Kopan, ask one monk there to recite the 108 Names of Tara. The monk can read this for you, mainly for you to have a meaningful life and to recover quickly from disease, and also to dedicate for other sentient beings who need the same prayer done.

This is my advice at this time for your health, what needs to be done. I am also making prayers for you.

Please continue to live your life with the thought of bodhicitta day and night and in every action you do.

With much love and prayers ...

P.S. Attached is my daily motivation practice [The Method to Transform a Suffering Life into Happiness (Including Enlightenment)], in case you don’t have it. This is one practice that is so good to do first thing in the morning, when you wake up.
