A student was very ill with type 2 diabetes and was taking a lot of insulin. Rinpoche checked and gave this advice.

My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling one,
I checked regarding your health and you need these pujas:

1. Chanting the Names of Manjushri [Tib: Phag pa jam päl gyi tshän yang dag par jö pa] needs to be recited 1,100 times by the Kopan Lama Gyupas. This seems important to do.

2. Guhyasamaja root text needs to be recited 500 times by the Kopan elder monks.

When you contact Kopan Monastery to make the request, explain your illness and say I am requesting they dedicate like this:

For you to immediately recover from this disease and for your life to be most meaningful for numberless sentient beings, by actualizing bodhicitta. And for you never to be reborn in the lower realms again, but to be born in the pure land where you can be enlightened, or at least to achieve a perfect human rebirth, meet a perfectly qualified Mahayana guru—who reveals the Mahayana path to enlightenment—and by pleasing the virtuous friend, achieve enlightenment quickly.

3. The puja she nyin dü dog needs to be done at Osel Labrang, Sera Je Monastery, India.

4. You should recite OM MANI PADME HUM with the motivation of bodhicitta for numberless sentient beings, not only for your own sickness.

Please try this and as much as possible live your life with the thought of bodhicitta day and night, and in every activity you do.

With much love and prayers ...
