A student had been diagnosed with cancer at the base of their tongue and was undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment. The student asked if Rinpoche could recommend prayers and mantras which would be beneficial at that time.
My very dear one,
I am sorry for the delay in replying to your email. I checked and these practices need to be done.
- Namgyal Tsechog (Namgyal long-life puja) needs to be done by the Kopan Lama Gyupas.
- Recite Most Secret Hayagriva mantra. You can look at a photo while you recite the mantra. Recite some every day if you can.
- You need to wear White Umbrella protection and the ten wrathful deities protection.
- Take blessed water of Hayagriva and Vajra Armor. [Find links to the mantras here.] You can recite the mantras and blow over a jar of water and then drink it four times each day: early morning and mid-morning, and then drink it a few times at 3pm and again at night-time before going to bed. You can do this every day. Recite the mantras and then blow over the water. Then visualize nectar beams coming from the deity to purify your negative karma, sickness, disease and spirit harm. Think you are totally purified as you drink the water.
- I will recite the White Umbrella Deity for you four times.
- You need Zungdu text to be read for you. It comes out best if Ven. Steve and Ven. Samten at Land of Medicine Buddha do this for you.
This is my advice for you.
With much love and prayers ...
