Prolonging Life
A student had some health problems and had been told that someone had cast black magic on her. She also described feeling very lonely, and thought she might have received some signs of pending death. The woman said she needed to live another year, so her niece could finish university, her daughter could get married, and so she could look after her mother.
According to my Mickey Mouse divination, it comes out that you will stay alive for 10 years, but not more than 10 years.
To try and prolong your life, you need to liberate 500 or more animals every month. [See the Advice Book section on Benefiting Animals.] You can do that with the students at your local Dharma center, or you can organize to do it with your friends. Causing animals to have long lives is one method to create the cause for your own long-life, so this practice is very good for someone who has life obstacles, or a possible untimely death.
