A student diagnosed with breast cancer had an operation that removed only non-cancerous tissue, not the tumor, so she needed another operation immediately. Rinpoche gave this advice on purifying past karma in order to achieve ultimate happiness, the total cessation of suffering.

A student whose breast cancer had recurred asked Rinpoche what purification practice and retreat would be most beneficial for her.

My very dear Dolma,Read the Diamond Cutter Sutra four times.

A student with breast cancer wrote asking for advice.

Dear Grace,I advise you to drink blessed water.

Don´t worry; chemotherapy is not necessary. Sometimes it may work, but it draws on your energy and affects your whole body.

Dear Jackie,I spent some time checking for you and this is my advice. Do these things first, then see how the situation is. To start, this is mainly for the eye, but also should help with the cancer as well.1.

Student's LetterI was diagnosed with breast cancer in early February.... Further medical diagnostic tests did not detect cancer in any other parts of my body.... I responded to the news that I had cancer with reasonable calm.

I received and read your letter and did quite a lot of checking for your situation. It seems there are things from the side of meditation that can be done that can help your situation, but these things will take time.

My very dear one,I am very sorry for the long delay in replying to your letter.
