The Medicine Buddha is the embodiment of the enlightened healing principle. This practice activates our inherent healing potentials that promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
 
The meditation and practices associated with this deity focuses on bringing about individual, social, environmental, and global healing.
During this pandemic time, the Medicine Buddha practice is relevant to encourage external healing and to heal one’s own internal mental issues like stress and anxiety.
 

Resident teacher Geshe Ngawang Phende will compare the practice with tonglen meditation and how it ties into the Three Principle Aspects of the Path. The Medicine Buddha practice sadhana will be provided along with a teaching into the practice and guided meditation.
 
This event is open to the general public. There are no pre-requisites for this practice.
