Watch the Very Venerable 9th Khenchen Thrangu Tulku, Karma Lodrö Lungrik Maway Senge's (Thrangu Rinpoche's) beautiful Covid-19 message published on April 1, 2020 on the Thrangu Media YouTube channel.
According to Thrangu Rinpoche's biography on Wikipedia, "Khenchen" denotes great scholarly accomplishment. He received his Geshe Lharamapa degree at age thirty-five followed by the Khenchen degree. He has been personal tutor to some of the most well-known Karma Kagyu lamas. His Holiness the Dalai Lama appointed Thrangu Rinpoche personal tutor to His Holiness the Gyalwang Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje.
Medicine Buddha Mantra
This is the spelling given in the above video:
TADYATHA OM BHAIKHAJYE BHAIKHAJYE MAHABHAIKHAJYE RAJA SAMUSGATE SVAHA
Thrangu Rinpoche said, "As you recite the mantra make aspirations and have vast bodhichitta so that you and all beings may be freed from suffering. In particular pray that they may be freed from the suffering of infectious disease. This will bring short-term and ultimate benefit to everyone. Please have such a motivation."

"Thrangu Monastery Canada, located in Richmond, British Columbia, is the first traditional Tibetan Monastery in the Pacific Northwest.
"It teaches in the Buddhist tradition that one needs to accumulate both merit and wisdom in order to generate the auspicious circumstances for realization. For many centuries, the vast knowledge of the Kagyu Lineage has been preserved and propagated in many monasteries throughout the world. The monasteries have served as a refuge for study and practice, undisturbed by worldly concerns. In this way, monasteries serve as a means to accumulate wisdom.
"Beginning in the 1970s, the 16th Gyalwang Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje and many other great masters have traveled and turned the Wheel of Dharma. Because of this, the Dharma has newly spread to and flourished in many countries, especially in North America. In 2003, the Thrangu Tulku Karma Lodrö Ringluk Maseng sent the Venerable Lama Pema Tsewang to Canada to establish a Dharma center promoting the Buddhist teachings."
