Nightmares and Health Problems

A student wrote that they had frequent nightmares and other serious problems during the day. The student felt very sick and doctors didn't know why.

My most kind, wish-fulfilling one,
According to my observation, these are the pujas and practices that need to be done:

  • Golden Light Drum Sound (Tib: ser ö nga dra). Rinpoche’s’ attendants will recite this for you five times.
  • Heart Sutra: Recite this seven times a day for three days. For the Heart Sutra if you are meditating, thinking of the meaning, then it’s an excellent practice to do every day generally. I only had time to do this today during the teachings. You should do this practice.
  • Short Medicine Buddha puja: To be done by monks at Kopan Monastery
  • Vajra Cutter Sutra: You should try to recite this one time.
  • Liberate three animals in danger of being killed and arrange for them to be protected and cared for in a safe place. Kopan Nunnery can liberate and take care of goats. If you can manage this, please let me know.
  • Namgyal tse chog puja, for your life obstacles: To be done twice by Drati Khangsten at Sera Je Monastery.

With much love and prayers ...
