Unable to Eat or Drink

Unable to Eat or Drink

A student wrote to Rinpoche about her sister, who had a cancerous tumor removed and returned to hospital two days later with a fever caused by infection. She was unable to eat or drink, and was fed by liquid IV. She was getting weaker and the doctors didn't seem to know what to do.

Dear Judy,
Please recite this text for your sister: The Dharani Called “Possessing the Attributes of All the Buddhas”. It's for prevention of life-threatening disease, and for those who already have one, such as cancer.

Also, you should do tonglen for her. Your sister should also do tonglen herself, if she can. This is the best for your sister.
