Headaches, Stress and Mental Agitation

Date Posted:

A director of a center felt he was having many obstacles. He wrote to Rinpoche saying he had not been feeling well for a few days, with headaches and feeling a lot of stress and mental agitation. Another lama had confirmed he had many obstacles and he wrote asking Rinpoche what to do.

My dear one,
The following needs to be done:

1) La gu Tse Gu: Geshe-la can do this or the monks at Kopan can do it.

2) Lu bom Ta wo (100,000 naga puja): the monks at Kopan can do this.

3) Medicine Buddha puja: this needs to be performed three times. If you can do it yourself, with other students and Geshe-la, that is best. Then you must make strong prayers and dedicate strongly to Medicine Buddha everything that you are doing, especially these pujas, not for yourself but for all sentient beings, for His Holiness the Dalai Lama's and your gurus' long lives (and your own), for the long life of the Sangha and their success in all that they do, for the Dharma, the long life of the Buddha's teachings, particularly Lama Tsongkhapa's teachings, and for the Maitreya project.

Make a strong dedication in this way, for these purposes, as well as for your present obstacles to be removed.

After these pujas are done, see how you are afterwards and then let me know if there is an improvement.

4) Have the Kangyur recited: the monks at Kopan can do this.

Severe Headaches and Stress

Date Posted:

A student, who was the director of a Dharma center, was having obstacles, severe headaches, stress, heart palpitations, and becoming forgetful. Rinpoche’s advice was as follows. The student’s letter, one year later, is also reproduced below.

I checked and there is interference. It is important for you to always wear the Golden Light Sutra on your body.

The second thing is you need to wear Hayagriva protection, which we will prepare and send you.

Also, we will send you the Golden Light Drum sutra, which is to be kept in the house where you are living and also your office.

Think of this as strong purification.

Student's feedback [one year later]

It didn’t dawn on me until this morning, as I was waiting to see the physical therapist (my back has deteriorated some), that I haven’t had a severe attack since I started wearing the protections. I think I have only left home once without them, so I always have them on me. I stopped the medication months ago because it made me even more forgetful. The doctor called them either mild seizures or could be ice pick headaches. Either way, they haven’t occurred since. They were really debilitating. This isn’t the sort of thing that goes away on its own from a medical point of view. I think you said you thought it was spirit interference. My description to the doctor was it was like “something” taking a very sharp object and jamming it into my brain right above my right eye. They only lasted about a second or two but were extremely painful. Anyway, I think I can say that your advice worked very well.
