Practices for Anyone With Cancer
Date Posted:
Advice from Lama Zopa Rinpoche for people with any kind of cancer.
It comes out very good for anyone with cancer to do:
- Ksitigarbha sutra and mantra
- Recite the Golden Light Sutra
These practices can be done even by people who are not Buddhist. This is just something to try. By doing these practices it is an incredible purification that can help the disease go away and the karma to be purified.
Doing these practices purifies the mind, so that one’s past negative karma gets purified and one collects extensive merits.
Then best is to do these practices with bodhicitta—do them for numberless sentient beings who have the same sickness, and not only for those who are sick, but for the numberless sentient beings who are suffering in the six realms and the intermediate state.
