Medicine Buddha is a concise and simple Tibetan Buddhist healing practice.
It is said that just by hearing the name, or mantra, of Medicine Buddha that innumerable benefits arise – including enhancing any healing practices and medicines.
Venerable Khenpo Lobzang Tenzin will give the reading transmission, blessings and explanations for practicing the Medicine Buddha; Nashalla G. Nyinda, a traditional doctor of Tibetan Medicine, will explain the benefits of this practice both for oneself and as a mode for healing others.
Participants may bring any fresh, unopened medicine for blessings and to learn how to use this practice with healing substances.
This weekend is open to everyone and is especially helpful for those in the healing arts.
Venerable Khenpo Lobzang Tenzin
Venerable Khenpo Lobzang Tenzin was born in Bhutan. At the age of 9, Khenpo requested his family allow him to join a monastery. Under the guidance of Venerable Thrangu Rinpoche, he was fully ordained in 1985 and earned the prestigious degree of Khenpo (a PhD level in the Tibetan Kagyu Lineage). In 2004, Thrangu Rinpoche appointed him as the principal Professor and Director of all his monastic colleges. Khenpo remained in that position until relocating to the United States in 2013 to assist the inaugural three-year Mahamudra Retreat in Colorado. He has been assigned the task of teaching throughout Thrangu’s centers worldwide and is well known for his warm attentive teaching style and remarkable gift for translating teachings into accessible and clear English.
