For the past twenty years a student had been unable to sleep and had many obstacles to their breathing, as well as other health issues, tumors in neck, breasts, etc. Doctors couldn’t find a reason for the insomnia and breathing difficulties.

My most dear, most precious, most kind wish-fulfilling one,
I am sorry I didn’t get to meet you. I read your letters completely and checked, and you need to have some pujas done. This is what came out and also the monasteries to do them:

  • She nyin dü dog: To be recited five times by monks at Shelkar Monastery, which is near Boudha, Kathmandu, Nepal.
  • Gyab shi: To be recited once by the monks at Shelkar Monastery, which is near Boudha.

You also need to do the following:

  • Lion-face Dakini practice: Recite the mantra and do meditation.
  • Most Secret Hayagriva: Recite the mantra and if you have taken the initiation, you can do the short practice or short sadhana.
  • Vajra Claws. Read this four times, with strong faith in the Buddha.
  • Black Manjushri: Recite the mantra and do the very short practice.

Please try to do these things as much as you can. I am also making prayers for you. Please make your life most meaningful with the thought of bodhicitta day and night and in everything you do.

With much love and prayers ...
