Severe Lung

Severe Lung

A student advised that during his stay in Nepal, his lung got worse and he couldn’t do any retreat at all. He felt there was an obstacle to his recovery.

My very dear one,
Acupuncture comes out very good to try, so please see about that. Then regarding the pujas I mentioned before, it’s very important to try to get them done.

  • Chag sum puja: eight times
  • Lu zong puja: eight times
  • Ga gön: twice

Here is a meditation to diminish lung. It is a secret meditation from Lama Tsongkhapa that I learned from an old Sakya lama. This is a practice to eliminate lung, so please try this meditation.

This is eliminating obstacles by syllable letter, by holy speech.

If there is much lung, the heart wind arises. Inside the heart visualize a sun disc. On the sun disc at the center there is a red RAM. It is extremely, unbelievably hot—like oneness with fire just about to blaze. Just concentrate on that.

So here, when I mention heart, it doesn’t mean the bumping heart, which is more on the left side. It is not that one. This one is by measuring from your breast with thumb and finger—this means putting the thumb of both hands under each arm and where the forefingers are in middle of the chest, this is where anger and strong compassion arise.

So there, inside, there is a central channel from your crown to navel; so inside that, that is the very center of the body. That is where you visualize this.

At the moment I suggest this meditation for you, so please try it and see how you feel. Try it for one or two weeks or more and let me know.

With much love and prayers...
