Rinpoche sent the following advice to a student who had tuberculosis.

Please do this practice for your tuberculosis. Recite the following Black Manjushri mantra:

OM TA SOD CHU SOD TUR TA SOD TUR MI SOD NGING GO LA CHOD KHA LA TSA AM TAM BAD PHET SOHA SARWA JORA LOCA DURA BUDDHANAM KOPATARE SHIN TING KURU SOHA

Recite this, follow this sound, and if you have devotion there will be great benefit. Black Manjushri mantra is highly beneficial for healing ulcers, tuberculosis, and so forth. Generate a bodhicitta motivation by thinking:

"I have received all my happiness from countless transmigratory beings, who have been my father and mother numberless times, and have been extremely kind numberless times. I must lead them to enlightenment, and therefore I must achieve enlightenment. Therefore, I am going to recite this mantra to benefit the transmigratory sentient beings who are devoid of happiness and who are tormented by suffering.”

Then, thinking in this way, recite the mantra.

Visualize Black Manjushri and calm, clear nectar being emitted and purifying your negativities and all disease, negative karma, and defilements, and then generate strong faith that when you stop reciting the mantra you have received all Manjushri’s qualities within you.
