The Dharani Called “Possessing the Limbs of All the Buddhas”
to protect from cancer, swine flu
as well as new diseases

Excerpt from Rinpoche’s letter to students:

So here I am offering some suggestion of a short practice, what you can easily try to read everyday. This very precious method from Buddha, from the Buddha's teaching in the Kangyur (is called) "The Dharani Called Possessing the Limbs of All the Buddhas" and is extremely worthwhile to try to do. Recite three times if possible, if not then one time. Buddhas has explained the benefits of this practice are that you will not get a bad disease, harm from the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind, poisoned, or a life threatening disease, and that it will help you not ro get reborn in the lower realms of hell, hungry ghost or animal and you will be able to benefit the lives of all sentient beings.
