On the path of healing, we need help, support and inspiring energy. By receiving the empowerment of Medicine Buddha, we have an opportunity to make a connection with an enlightened Doctor, who has accomplished permanent freedom from mental and physical suffering. Medicine Buddha is the embodiment of all enlightened healing energy. Everyone is welcome to this blissful guided meditation through which we make a special, heart-felt connection with Medicine Buddha and receive his profound healing blessings.
Saturday afternoon will include a commentary on the Medicine Buddha practices and your special connection with him. In the Sunday afternoon retreat, we will be guided through the chanted prayer and meditation practices of Medicine Buddha.
