A student wrote that they had dementia and their condition was deteriorating.

My most dear, most kind, most precious, wish-fulfilling one,

Thank you for your letter, I am sorry for the long delay in replying.

I checked regarding your health, and I don’t know if this is possible for you, but what comes out best is if you can come to see me and I will do the chab trü puja (blessed vase ritual to purify) a few times for you. You have to be present for this puja. So, come to see me and through the deity Dorje Namjom (Skt: Vajravidarana) and different deities, chab trü can be done.

This is what comes out as the main thing you need.

Chab trü is a purification practice, so if you are able to, you should come to America now. [Rinpoche was in the US at that time] It may be expensive so if America is too difficult, then Nepal or India.

I am not sure of the expenses and if this is at all possible, but this is what came out.

With much love and prayers ...
