A student with leukemia asked Rinpoche for advice.

  • On the eighth of the Tibetan month, make and consecrate a White Tara thangka.
  • Four Mandala Offerings to Cittamani Tara: request thirteen pujas, to be done by the Chenrezig Nuns’ Community.
  • Recite Most Secret Hayagriva mantra. If possible you should receive the initiation. Meanwhile you can recite the mantra, visualizing light beams and nectar purifying the sickness and its causes, negative karma and defilements.
  • Circumambulate the Swayambunath stupa. To understand how powerful it is, circumambulate, thus creating numberless causes for enlightenment with each circumambulation. This is the best for healing.
  • Every ten days take a Moon Crystal pill. In your case, take it five times altogether.
  • Recite Namgyalma mantra. It’s better to recite the long mantra, and if not, recite the short one.
