Dear Ven Fiona,I was able to check extensively about your situation and I am doing pujas for you tonight. It is extremely important that you do Medicine Buddha puja as soon as possible.

Dear Abigail,I have checked regarding the growth of the tumor and you need to do a minimum of 30,000 Vajrasattva mantras, with a very strong visualization purifying the four things (disease, spirit harm, negative karma, and obstacles).

I checked regarding the little boy and the following have to be done as soon as possible:1. Liberate a minimum of 300 animals. It would be better if it were 1,000 animals. When you liberate the animals take them around holy objects first.

My very dear one,Thank you very much for your message, I am very sorry to hear about your nephew. I did some observations, and according to those, there are some methods and things that can be applied and done.

Dear Christina,I am sorry it has taken so long to reply. I did receive your letter a long time ago, but I was traveling and I did not take your letter with me, so now I am back and have been able to check about your daughter. I hope she is still OK.

A student wrote to Rinpoche about her sister, who had a cancerous tumor removed and returned to hospital two days later with a fever caused by infection. She was unable to eat or drink, and was fed by liquid IV. She was getting weaker and the doctors didn't seem to know what to do.

A student who had cancer was losing weight and wrote to Rinpoche for advice. His letter and Rinpoche’s response are below.

Dear Laura,You can do the longlife retreat of Amitayus, reciting the long mantra ten thousand times. If you have the initiation of White Heruka, do some retreat on that, if you can. It need only be short.
