Practices for Cancer

Date Posted:

Rinpoche sent the following advice to a student who has cancer.

Dear Joanne,
These are the practices you should do:

  1. You need to receive the lung for Hayagriva mantra. Recite this mantra as much as you can. I can give you the lung over the phone.
  2. Chag-sum needs to be performed three times. This can be done by the geshe here.
  3. A torma offering to the nagas needs to be done six times. You need to do this only on naga day, which you can check in the Tibetan calendar. Geshe-la can do this.
  4. Take jüng-nga (Tibetan medicine) twice a day for seven weeks. This can be got from Nepal. The Kopan monks can bring it with them when they come.
