Tuesday evening Ven. Geshe Tenphel received a visit from his brother, Geshe Loden, who had come from France to be close to him and this made him very happy.
On Wednesday afternoon Geshe la had the coronography which ascertained the causes of the heart attack and during which several stents were applied.
For the next 36 hours he will not be able to have contact with external people but the doctor was very positive about the recovery of Geshe there who continues to keep his smile.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche told us today that divinations in relation to Geshe’s health are very good and that we can support him with prayers. In particular, Rinpoche asked Geshe Tenphel’s students to recite the Mantra of Hayagriva:
HRIH BENZA KRODHA HAYAGRIVA HULU HULU HUM PHAT
The Institute is organising moments of group recitations.
