A student had skin cancer on their face that had spread under the skin and asked Rinpoche for any specific practices that could help prevent further spread. Rinpoche checked and advised the following.

You need to read the Golden Light Sutra five times, with strong bodhicitta.

Also do strong purification with Chenrezig. Visualize beams purifying all the four things—negative karma, defilements, sickness and spirit harm—and the cancer. You need to do a minimum of four malas a day of the Chenrezig mantra, OM MANI PADME HUM. 

Recite one mala of Vajra Armor mantra each day. Continue this until you get better.
