A student with serious glaucoma asked Rinpoche for advice.

My very dear one,
I have checked for your eye condition and this is what I think you can do to help your eyes.

Recite the very long Chenrezig mantra two or three times every day. Visualize nectar coming from Chenrezig’s holy hand, purifying your past lives’ negative karma, obstacles, spirit harm and this disease of the eyes. Mainly you need to purify the past negative karma created due to delusion and karma; this is where the problem came from. The nectar which comes to your eyes is very healing and purifying.

Keep water in front of a picture of Chenrezig and when you recite the mantra, think you are blessing the water. Keep a cloth, wet it with water and wipe your eyes. Do this several times a day. Each time you clean your eyes, think the delusion and karma created in the past that caused this illness is completely purified. If you have strong faith and completely rely on Chenrezig, this can be a very powerful purification practice.

With much love and prayer...
