A student wrote that her husband was possessed by spirits after moving to a new apartment. He became aggressive and  had tried to commit suicide. He would suddenly rip off his clothes, crush holy objects and destroy things, but when he calmed down he didn't remember a thing. Rinpoche checked for a long time and gave this advice.

You need:

  • A peaceful fire puja: To be done by Geshe-la.
  • Hayagriva Tsog Kong: To be done ten times at Sera Je Monastery. This one seems most important. To reduce the cost, you can count each monk doing the puja as one. That is a cheaper way of getting it done, otherwise to do it the full way, you would sponsor the puja ten different times, to be done by the whole group.
  • If Khadro-la comes, she could come to your house and pacify, or she could send blessed water for you to sprinkle in the house, all over the house every day. This could be done in the morning and evening, every day, as long as it is blessed water. So that came out very good. Of course, if Khadro-la is able to come, that would be best.
  • Request Namgyal Rinpoche, at Kopan Monastery, to recite the Mantra Promised by Arya Tara seven times, making strong prayers to Tara to pacify all spirit harm and [for you and your partner] to have a most meaningful life, to never to be reborn in the lower realms and to actualize enlightenment as quickly as possible.

I will send you the White Umbrella and Black Dzambala [protections] as well as a special square/number protection for everyone in the house to wear.
