Experiencing Harm After Leaving Shamanism
A student had practiced South American shamanism with a teacher several years ago. After stopping that practice, he felt inexplicably altered. He described feelings of increasing evil, disconnection and a rising sense of cosmic terror or dread at times. Rinpoche read the email and gave the following advice.
My very dear one,
You should have ga-gön puja done by the senior teacher at Kopan. If you’re in Dharamsala then request ga-gön puja from Kyabje Denmo Locho Rinpoche. This puja is important to happen soon, don’t delay.
You need the puja she-nyin dü-dog, with recitation of the Heart Sutra 100 times. Not just reciting, it involves a puja dispelling Mara. Request the Lama Gyupas at Kopan Monastery to do this for you.
Request Ven. __ [a Kopan monk] to recite the Diamond Cutter Sutra four times. You can make this request to him and explain your problems, to release immediately from harm.
You should wear the White Umbrella protection. I will send this. When you get the protection, don’t lie on it, otherwise this will create negative karma, for example, when you go to bed your body might turn over and you end up lying on it. Therefore put it up in a high place and then in the morning put it on again.
With much love and prayers...
