Regarding your cancer, this is what came out very beneficial for you to do:

1) Recite five malas of Black Manjushri mantra.

2) Liberate 2,000 animals. The way to do this is to buy animals or insects from a place where the animals are going to be killed (often people buy worms that are used as fishing bait). It can be worms that are used for fishing, or crickets that are fed as food to other animals.

You can also ask the center director to help. Maybe the director would be happy to organize an animal liberation day, where other people can join in; it could be an activity at the center or even at the beach. Have a table and make it like an altar, piled high with many texts, statues, and stupas, photos of Buddha, texts such as the Golden Light Sutra, the Vajra Cutter Sutra, the Sanghata Sutra, lamrim texts, and many tsa-tsas. Then, take the animals around the table many times, circumambulating with them. Hold the animals at the same level as the holy objects (this means you hold them high up, not below the holy objects). Take them around as many times as possible. Each time you take them around it brings them happiness in future lives, liberation, and enlightenment. Each circumambulation gives them all the realizations and cessation of all the sufferings. This is the most amazing gift, the best way to help these animals, by taking them around the holy objects.

Because you are going around the holy objects, it means that these animals are helping you to purify and collect merit, so now you understand their kindness. All the people doing the animal liberation actually receive happiness from these animals, because happiness comes from creating merit and purifying, which is what you are doing by circumambulating. Now you see these animals are the most kind ones. It is good to feel this as you take them around.

Then chant the mantras. There is a booklet that explains how to do animal liberations, so please read it and follow that. The director will know how to do it. After chanting the mantras, blow over a container with water in. Chant mantras such as Chenrezig mantra, Medicine Buddha mantra, Namgyalma mantra, Maitreya mantra, Lotus Pinnacle mantra, etc, and in this way you bless the water. After each mala of mantras that you chant you blow on the water. Then sprinkle the blessed water on the animals. If you have liberated fish, then you can pour the water into the ocean. If it is worms, you can sprinkle it on them.

This practice is unbelievably beneficial. It brings you and the animals to enlightenment by circumambulating and chanting the mantras so the animals can hear. Also, by blowing mantras on the animals it purifies them and brings them to enlightenment.

3) The other practice which is extremely beneficial for you to do is Medicine Buddha puja. If you can, do it every day, at least chant the mantra, but it is best to do the whole practice.

I am also making prayers for you and also the Sangha in my house.

With much love and prayers...
