Medicine Buddha Teaching on the Full Moon
November 19th, 2021, 10am–11:am (PST) Time via Zoom/Webinar
Chaphur Rinpoche and Chaphur Tulku/Geshe Tsewang Rigzin
– The Medicine Buddha is a compassionate manifestation of Tönpa Shenrab, the great Enlightened One of Bön. The teachings of the Medicine Buddha consist of twelve volumes. Their history is presented in the sutra “Healing Method for Sickness and Affliction and Ignorance” from the “Mandala of King Medicine and Ritual Ceremonies for Enlightenment” text. These teachings place physical wellness in the context of spiritual enlightenment.
Practitioners of the Medicine Buddha can address illness or poor health through meditation and visualization to free themselves from obstacles and to increase and protect their wellbeing. By incorporating the practice of the Medicine Buddha into your personal life, you can open yourself to the experience of mental and physical healing qualities. This benefits not only yourself, but blesses others to whom you are connected and positively affects the environment as well.
During this teaching instruction, we will cover the important points of the Medicine Buddha teachings, give the transmission for the practice, and practice the recitation of the mantra. The history of the Medicine Buddha in the Bön spiritual tradition will also be explained.
Chaphur Tulku Tsewang Rigzin will give instruction on the essential points of both the offering and the ritual. He will also guide us step by step through the offering itself. He will be broadcasting from the Medical Temple.at Menri Monastery.
