Tumors
Brain Tumor Operation
A student suddenly had a brain tumor and was in hospital for an emergency operation. Rinpoche sent the following advice.
I checked for some time about your situation, and what has to be done urgently is:
- Extensive Medicine Buddha puja. This can be done with students at the center.
- Offer paint to the Boudha stupa. You can ask Kopan Monastery to organize that.
I am making prayers.
Cancer of the Womb
A very devoted student had a growth in her womb and an ultra sound showed it was growing reasonably fast. She wrote to Rinpoche for advice.
Dear Abigail,
I have checked regarding the growth of the tumor and you need to do a minimum of 30,000 Vajrasattva mantras, with a very strong visualization purifying the four things (disease, spirit harm, negative karma, and obstacles). Visualize the purification happening in the form of blood and pus, snakes (nagas), frogs, giant sharks, and feces leaving your body. Try to feel very happy when these heavy, negative things go.
Don’t think that this purification is only for your sickness, it is also purifying obstacles to achieving realizations.
Please also recite 21 Black Manjrushri mantras every morning.
