A student was in a lot of pain, and found it painful even to move. Rinpoche advised the following practices.

My very dear one,
I received your letter from Light of the Path. I am very sorry to hear about your pain. I checked what can be done and you need to have this puja done:

  • Gyab-shi: to be recited five times, or have five monks do it one time, at Osel Labrang, Sera Je Monastery, [South India.] There will be a cost, as a small offering needs to be made to the monks and also for the torma, etc.
  • White Umbrella practice: I will do this for you.

This is my advice at this time, please let me know if things change after the pujas. Please continue to live your life with bodhicitta, the thought of benefiting others.

With much love and prayers...
