Rinpoche advised these pujas and practices for a student who was suffering from colon cancer.

My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling one,
I checked and Amitayus Long Life Sutra (tse do) needs to be recited for him by Chabri khangtsen.

Yes, of course, his life is in danger.

Also he needs to have Hayagriva Tsog Kong [Extensive Most Secret Hayagriva puja] done for him at Sera Je Monastery quite soon. The monks need to know his name and what the problem is and dedicate for him to recover from the disease immediately and to have a meaningful, long and healthy life; to purify all the defilements and negative karma, to never ever get reborn in the lower realms and to be born in the pure land where he can achieve enlightenment.

You must ask the monks to do this; it is very important. Even if you can’t sponsor separately it can do together when I do this puja at the end of the next Tibetan month. It should be done soon. It’s best if it can be sponsored separately, but the monks have to pray well for him.

Also, he should do tonglen as much as possible. He can read my advice on how to do this.

He should also recite three malas of Black Manjushri mantra every day if possible. He can  visualize Black Manjushri in front of him emitting beams that heal and purify everything—the disease and spirit harm collected from beginningless rebirths, as well as the negative karma and defilements—for him and for all sentient beings and anyone who has cancer.

Please pass on this advice to him. I have also been making prayers for him.

With much love and prayers
