The venerable monks of the Mystical Arts of Tibet tour of Drepung Loseling Monastery will be performing a powerful ceremonial healing puja for physical and mental health and well-being dedicated to the people affected by the earthquakes in Turkey & Syria.

The practice of Medicine Buddha is considered to be a powerful method for healing both the physical suffering of illness, poverty, and abuse, and the mental distress caused by anger, greed, life's adversities.

The words “medication” and “meditation” both come from the same Latin root word, medeor, meaning “to heal or to make whole,” and meditating on the Medicine Buddha can support the journey to wellness by easing the physical and mental afflictions of ourselves or those for whom we are dedicating our practice.

It is an excellent complement to conventional modes of healing and encourages the cultivation of positive mental states.
