Experience the Cancer for All Sentient Beings

This advice about tonglen practice was given to a student with prostate cancer.

Request Geshe-la to do both chab trü and ga gön pujas three times.

In terms of practice, tonglen is the best, to really dedicate your life for sentient beings. Think this is the best life, this is the best, as we have been praying to receive all the sufferings and the causes of sentient beings. Now you have got this [cancer], so you can feel great happiness.

In Lama Chöpa we pray for this and now it’s happened, so really this is a great success. Enjoy and experience it for the numberless sentient beings, so sentient beings can achieve enlightenment. Now they don’t have to experience this suffering; now you can experience it for all sentient beings, so that’s the best.

I am also praying for you.

With much love and prayers ...
