The Healthy One has got 1000 Wishes- the Sick only 1
A Journey of Thoughts to Selfhealing- Inner and Outer Peace

This is an exctract of a lecture given by me in my hometown in Germany in a registered society for patients recovering from cancer the “Krebsnachsorgeverein e.V.” It is based on that I learned so happily from the Mahasiddha Lama Gangchen Rimpoche. As a medical doctor I was asked to show them OBR’s video ”Ngalso”, an old Tantric selfhealing method, adjusted from OBR to our today’s busy life to relax the sufferings of human beings. As a Non Formal Therapy it is based on the first teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni. “Ngal” means abandoning bad things and experiences, and “So” means embracing positive things and experiences. Keeping in mind the fixed minds of the Germans, I decided to give first a lecture to introduce these patients slowly to Selfhealing- Inner and Outer Peace. To give them a small eyeopener, a Non Formal Therapy to heal body and mind by themselves, a small peace message, a simple seed.

In every culture there are wise sayings, which refer to a cosmic intelligence, our inner wisdom, our Heart-Thinking. But the more we are dependent on Formal Education overestimating technology and Brain-Thinking the more this old wisdom based on experience is submerged, its genuine sources get lost, fears, agressions und fightings increase.

In this “Journey” I tried to find pictures, quotations, examples, findings etc., which could evoke forgotten memories and interrelations, which served human beings for thousands of years to cope with the turbulences of life. I pointed out as well to Neurosciences and its galloping findings, which start to explore and back up scientifically some of those experiences, human beings knew down the ages only by empirical knowledge and inner wisdom, accepting powers of light and darkness.

I invited the listeners to join me step by step from outside to inside, from Macrocosmos to Microcosmos, from Universe to Quant, trying to bring more understanding, less fear, more sun on their path and give them at hand a Non Formal Remedy to look at their lives in a broader context, to look deeper inside themselves, to get hereby a feeling of Healing and Peace.

The patients should realize, that the Buddhist Cosmology is different from the scientific way of seeing.

Every human being equally

is part of an entirety, the Universe, which is about 15 Bill. years old, containing our beautiful blue planet “earth” ca. 5 Bill. years young !

- Human beings started to develop themselves on this planet only 2. 5 Mio years back. They were fitted into this Universe quasi at last second as “Creation’s crowning glory” ?

- Every human being equally is part of a community of about 6 Bill. people aboard a ”spaceship earth”,which orbits the sun in a distance of ca. 150 Mio. km, with 30 km/h, what we experience to be Night and Day.

- Our “Homeplanet Earth” has not fallen “down”, nor been destroyed, but embedded in the cosmos for 5 Bill.years. Everything in this Universe has its own law and order, “panta rei” -everything is in constant motion, every being alike -externally and internally of eaxctly the same “ Interstellar Energy ”.

- “ We all are sitting in the same boat”.

Every human being equally has got inside itself the “Divine Spark”, the Buddha-Nature” “ ,the inner most Heartcrystal”

It consists of the same elements as the cosmos:

Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, Space and the dissolution outside us follows the same way as the dissolution of the elements inside us, when we die.

Every human being equally

contains of female as well as male portions ” Yin and Yang”.

- has got its own intentions, feelings, ideas, and must be aware of the consequences

- is longing for the “Wishing Path of Eco-Morality with its 7 Branches :

Love-Compassion-Joy-Equanimity-Health- Ecological Regenation-Peace”

- is overestimating Brain- Thinking:

- “ Normally we are distracted from our pure nature and waste our life in endless actions and outrageous overestimation.” ( Ovid 43 BC -17AC)

- It has to brush up “ Heart-Thinking” :

- “ Every object , even atoms, exists of space and the energies of wisdom and compassion” ( OBR)

- It is aware of a “cosmic intelligence”, which we don’t know, but which we experience deep inside ourselves.” (Teilhard de Chardin)

Every human being equally looking for Health and Peace has to learn

that every action has its reaction

- to turn negative into positive

- that “Matter and Mind is Energy”- todays Neurosciences back up these results.

- No longer ”Matter follows mind”.

- that our habitual conception of reality, our picture of the world, of ourself is going to be changed totally

“ The Self is a Delusion “ Nobel Laureat Francis Crick in Jan/03

- that due to the Neuroscientific researches galopping ahead the consequences will be enormous -for our mind and coping with our emotions.

- has to learn, that nothing exists of its own side.

Even the German philosopher Immanuel Kant points out in his philosophy, that everything comes from the mind. According him the mind is labelling f.i. the flower as flower, and you will not find the flower analysing a flower.

Only with Inner Peace we are able to develop the power to recognize and escape from manipulations by “twilight” research of “Brain and Mind” (see: Horrorvision of Neurobiology in FAZ 23.1.04 “ Neuro-Twilight”)

“The only true and profound Selfhealing is that of the Mind” (OBR)

Only by Selfhealing we can find Inner and Outer Peace

“The Mind is the Salvator for the Mind”


Faith, Love and Hope- among these three Love is the Greatest.
Love is the greatest energy in the cosmos.
Om Bishwa Shanti Hum!

A few days after my lecture I got a call: “Dr. Sickert, we did not expect this topic. You are a GP, aren’t you, but we are a bit confused, that you did not even mention mistletoe therapy.”

Looking at Lama Gangchen’s inceasingly efforts to bring Love, Selfhealing and Inner and Outer Peace into human beings, I learned how incredibly hard his job is and what a long way and hard work it is to be a tiny peace messanger and I was reminded again of Sokrates’ saying: “ I know to know nothing!”

This lecture and the hereby accumulated good energy I would like to dedicate with gratitude and deep affection to my beloved teacher His Holiness Mahasiddha Tulku Rinpoche Lama Gangchen. He set a shining example of LOVE to his disciples all over this globe.

May this lamp of light and love for the world, Lama Gangchen, have a long and happy life!

“Love is the greatest Energy in the Cosmos”
