A student wrote that since she started reciting the mantra Extremely Conquering the Body, Speech and Mind from Bondage a few days previously, a large lump on one side of her spine had decreased in size and a skin cancer on her face had disappeared completely. Rinpoche typed this response and asked that it be kept for rejoicing and to show the success of the mantra. Lightly edited by Ven. Holly Ansett and Sandra Smith. 

My most dear, most precious, most kind, wish-fulfilling one,
Billions of thanks for your heart practice and services. So now you can explain for those who have Ebola to recite the mantra "Liberating the Body, Speech and Mind from Bondage." [You can find links to the Dharani Extremely Conquering from Bondage in the FPMT Catalogue.]

Those people who are in the countries where there is Ebola can wear the mantra as a protection and also recite the mantra. It is very beneficial to make the mantra public, not only for general things, but especially for Ebola. General means problems, difficulties, being harmed by living beings, not necessarily only human beings. It is OK [doing] urgent work to help others.

My hope is that this mantra can reach those countries that have Ebola, for them to get the mantra. Practice the mantra as medicine. This is also what they need to have a healthy long life, so they can wear the mantra on the neck and also recite it. If they can hear how it benefited you, that would be great.

Thank you very much. If you tell people about your experience of this mantra then that gives trust, even though the mantra comes from Buddha and it is purely for us suffering people in the world, but without discrimination of this and that religion. Instead, practice the mantra as one takes medicine, so wear it on the neck and also recite the mantra.

Please have a meaningful and happy long life.

With much love and prayers ...

Lama Zopa

P.S. It might be OK just to recite the mantra five times every day, but according to your own experience of reciting it 25 times a day, then people can also try that. So this is my advice for people who already have Ebola, but for those who are in a lot of pain it may be difficult to recite the mantra that much.
