A student wrote that they suffered from arthritis almost everywhere in their body. The pain in their knee was especially severe and an operation to install a metal prosthesis in the knee was planned.
Rinpoche spent quite a bit of time checking and said these practices need to be done at Kopan Monastery:
- Chag sum puja
- Diamond Cutter Sutra: To be recited seven times
- Arya Sanghata Sutra: To be recited eight times
Also if you can participate in doing some recitations of the Diamond Cutter Sutra and Arya Sanghata Sutra, please do what you can.
