Abusive Partner

A student wrote that her partner had suddenly changed and become quite abusive, fighting with the children and threatening divorce. Rinpoche checked and advised the following practices. [Please note: If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic or family violence and abuse, please seek help from a suitable support service in your region.]

You and your husband should both recite:

  • Thirteen-wheel chakra: recite this seven times a day for some time.
  • Burning Pinnacle mantra: recite this six times. This is to overcome the obstacles.

You should read theArya Sanghata Sutra once.

Zungdu text [a collection of dharani] should be read. You can ask some monks at Kopan Monastery to read and dedicate for you both. Mention that this is my suggestion.

This is my advice for now.
