For the very first time in California, we will be blessed with a teaching from His Holiness the 34th Menri Trizin Rinpoche. His Holiness has very graciously agreed to give us the Medicine Buddha Empowerment. The visit of His Holiness to the San Francisco Bay Area is part of the first international tour undertaken since his selection as Abbot of Menri Monastery in 2018. Please see our website for other teachings by His Holiness. He will be teaching a weekend retreat on Saturday and Sunday 27-28 July on Atri Dzogchen. After that teaching he will give the empowerment on Sunday. Go to this link to register for the weekend retreat: A Tri Dzogchen Teaching
The Medicine Buddha is compassionate manifestation of Tönpa Shenrab, the great Enlightened One of Bön . This teaching benefits all who are ill or sick; it liberates them from suffering through Medicine Buddha. Through ceremony, meditation, and visualization, we are freed from obstacles in life and protected. By applying a method of healing and receiving the blessing of Tönpa Shenrab, the power and qualities of our energy are restored.
It was at the request of the kings of the island of Dawa Ruting that Tonpa Shenrab first gave the teachings of the Medicine Buddha. They were then transmitted through Chabu Trishe, one of Tonpa Shenrab’s eight sons and the source of all healing tradition of Tibetan Medicine lineage according to Bön. Gradually it was passed through masters in a continuous lineage down to the founder of the original Menri Monastery, Nyammed Sherab Gyaltsen, and all the subsequent holders of that lineage and has been preserved unbroken to the present day.
