Sick Father and Pilgrimage Obstacles
Date of Advice:
Date Posted:
Rinpoche gave this advice to a student whose father was very sick. The student had also asked she should do to remove obstacles to a pilgrimage.
For your father:
- The extensive Medicine Buddha puja [The Wish-granting Sovereign] should be done twice at Land of Medicine Buddha. They can organize it and make sure it is the extensive puja.
To remove obstacles for your pilgrimage:
- You need to recite 108 names of the Venerable Arya Tara three times every day for two months.
- Recite Tendrel Nyesel [a short Padmasambhava prayer] to eliminate vices due to wrong dependent arising. Do this every day for one month or two months. You can do it yourself and also with other friends—they can also do it with you.
