Practices for Spirit Harm
A student who attended the one hundred million mani retreat in France advised that she had a spirit experience while living in a house nearby with her family. Her health problems started when she was driving back to Germany. After returning home she had heart attack symptoms many times, but the hospital couldn't find a medical reason for her poor health. She also advised that she had taken the Mahayana precepts five times a week for almost four years. Rinpoche sent her the following advice regarding spirit harm.
My very dear Anna,
I am very sorry for the delay. I checked regarding your question and this is what comes out:
- Peaceful and Controlling Fire Pujas: have these done.
- Have the Prajnaparamita read: twelve volumes, one hundred thousand stanzas; three volumes, twenty thousand stanzas; and one volume, eight thousand stanzas.
It comes out more beneficial for the nuns in Mongolia to do the reading. They should be sure to read the correct text, not an incorrect translation in Mongolian, and they should start immediately. Check with the nuns how many days it will take. It is good if you offer breakfast and make a tea offering for every session. You can also offer lunch, but the nuns should then do morning and afternoon sessions. Make a money offering each day, or one at the end.
Also, offer chag-sum every day for five days, starting right away, and practice the Lion-face Dakini daily.
I am very happy that you have been taking the Mahayana Precepts five times a week for the last four years.
With much love and prayers...
