Rinpoche checked on what is best to be done in Nigeria, where so many people are dying of starvation. It seems this is due in part to extremists preventing food and aid from reaching people in need. Initially Rinpoche wanted to make a donation to the area, to help the starving people.

While Rinpoche considered making a donation to help the starving people, he then did a divination to check what was best. The result was that students of Rinpoche who are concerned about Nigeria should do the Extensive Medicine Buddha puja, making strong prayers to Medicine Buddha for those affected to be free of hunger and oppression.
