Rinpoche recommended these practices for a student who had Crohn's disease and asked for advice.

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

Thank you for your letter. I am very sorry how long it took to reply.

I checked and you need to recite the Liberating from Bondage mantra every day until you get better. [Find links to the Dharani Extremely Conquering from Bondage in the FPMT Catalogue.]

You also need to recite the Mantra Promised by Tara five times.

You need a puja called Hayagriva Tsog Kong done for you at Sera Je Monastery. I went ahead and arranged the puja right away for you. If you want to contribute anything toward the cost of the puja you can do so.

I will also do chab trü puja for you.

There is another puja you need called che trül. It comes out best if Khensur Rinpoche who teaches often at Guhyasamaja Center in Virginia does this for you. You will need to ask him and make an offering.

If the extensive Hayagriva Tsog Kong puja has already been done for you, then you don’t need another, but you can still arrange for another one if you want it or feel you still need it.

Also if possible, if you can, take the Lion-face Dakini initiation from Khensur Rinpoche and then if you can, recite the mantra ten thousand times and meditate on the deity. This is important for you to do.

Also recite Vajra Claws four times.

Please try this. I have been also making prayers for you and dedicating for you. Please make your life most meaningful, with the thought of bodhicitta day and night and in every action you do.

With much love and prayers ...
