Medicine Buddha Teaching and Retreat
With Chaphur Rinpoche and Chaphur Tulku/Dr. Geshe Tsewang Rigzin
On Zoom
January 31st-February 1st, 2026
Time: 8am-11am (PT)
The Medicine Buddha is a peaceful and compassionate manifestation of Buddha Tönpa Shenrab, the founder of Yungdrung Bön . This teaching benefits all who are ill by liberating them from suffering through blessings from the Medicine Buddha.
Buddha Tonpa Shenrab first gave the medicine teachings to Chabu Trishe, who is one of Buddha Tonpa Shenrab’s eight sons and the source of all the healing traditions of the Tibetan Bumzhi Sowa Rigpa lineage. Gradually, it was passed through masters in a continuous lineage down to Nyammed Sherab Gyaltsen. Since that time, it has been preserved in an unbroken passing from master to master until the present day. In particular, the 33rd H.H. Menri Trizin Rinpoche was a recipient of these ancient Bon teachings. He both held and passed down the precious teachings of the Bumzhi Sowa Rigpa tradition.
Chaphur Tulku/ Dr. Chaphur Tsewang after years of studying Sutra, Tantra, and Dzogchen, and earning a Geshe degree, began to study and practice Tibetan Bon medicine. After studying and practicing for over six years, he obtained a Bumzhi Sowa Rigpa degree, the Tibetan medicine degree unique to Bön. Currently, Dr. Tsewang is a professor at the Menri Medical College. In addition, he has started introducing Tibetan Bon medicine to our sangha practitioners in the West.
For three days Chaphur Rinpoche and Dr. Tsewang will be leading the meditation and practice sessions of the Medicine Buddha. To join us for this amazing opportunity, please register below:
